RAW Opening: LIVE from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, the WWF presents
Monday Night RAW is WAR! First, a replay of the Rock's actions at RAW last
week, along with the Undertaker's actions at SmackDown! is shown. We start
out with the Undertaker, who comes out on his motorcycle. He gets a mic, but
just as he opens his mouth, Triple H's music hits, and the McMahon-Helmsley
Regime enters in full force. The entire regime makes their way to the front
of the ring. They stop just outside and take in the crowd's chants. Triple
H says that he would like to be the first to say how great it is to have the
true American Badass to the WWF. He says that he is the happiest person that
Taker's back, because he's been back for a short amount of time, but that in
that time he has already gotten Triple H his title back. He says that it's
been bugging him that he's never gotten to thank him. He says that he is
here to publicly thank the Undertaker. Taker gets on the mic and says that
he should be thanked for not kicking Triple H's ass right now. He says he
doesn't do anything for anyone, except himself. Any chance that Taker has to
get at anyone, he'll take it. He says that Triple H's title belt belongs to
him. Triple H says that while Taker's been gone, he and the Regime have
become the ones that close the mouths that are running. As Triple H begins
to get in the ring, Rock comes out on stage to a big pop. Vince gets on the
mic and says that this is a simple picture to see. This is the buddy system,
where Taker rescues Rock on Monday and then Rock rescuing Taker on Thursday.
Rock says that there is no buddy system. He says that this isn't a case of
you scratch my back, I scratch yours. Rock says that any day he can get his
hands on DX, its a good day. And it's a great day when Rock can make change
out of Steph, the two dollar ho. Rock says that it's only a matter of time
before he becomes the champ. Vince says that he now sees that it's two
individuals with common goals, and common enemies. So then, tonight "in that
very ring", Vancouver will not see Triple H defend the title, but rather the
Undertaker one-on-one with The Rock. As the McMahon-Helmsley's celebrate,
Undertaker and Rock stare each other down. In the locker room, Kid Rock and
Joe C. are hanging out with the Hardys. Commercial.

Godfather, Dean Malenko & The Kat vs. D'Lo Brown, Perry Saturn & Terri (6
Man, Mixed Tag Match): Replay of Vince making tonight's Main Event. In the
hallway Joe C. is telling the Acolytes that he and Kid Rock are gonna bring

walks by Edge and Christian. They say that they are huge fans and ask for a

Edge recites some Dr. Evil lines, and Joe C. says that they're dumbasses,
but Edge and Christian still think he's Mini Me. Commercial.

Eddie Guerrero vs. Kurt Angle (European Title): Edge & Christian look at
their picture with "Mini Me" and they complement each other on their great
teeth. They bring Kurt Angle over, but Kurt says he's got to win some gold
now. In the ring, Eddie and Chyna come down. Then the Olympic Hero comes
out and says that Canada needs two things: An Olympic Hero, and Memorial Day.
Kurt says that he will bear the load of being Canada's hero as well. As for
Memorial Day, Kurt says that you can't have Memorial Day because if you tried
to have a barbecue, you'd be attacked by a moose or a grizzly, but then again
the Grizzlies don't beat anyone in Vancouver (Basketball reference, for those
who are confused). In the ring, Angle is starting off very fast. Eddie
gains momentum and hits that rope flip maneuver. Kurt puts Eddie in a
headlock. Belly-belly overhead suplex by Angle. German suplex by Angle

hits Chyna. Chyna gets on the apron and yells at the ref. Angle whips Eddie
into the ref. Angle puts Eddie on the turnbuckle for a Superplex, but Chyna
gets in and low blows Angle. She leaves and Eddie hits a flying Hurricanrana
1-2-3! In the back, Edge and Christian go to Joe C. and say that to make it
up to him they are going to make a new pose just for him, but to be
politically correct they want to know if Joe C. is a midget, or a dwarf, or a
gnome, but Edge says he's an Ewok. Joe C. says that they can make it up to
him by going out, having their match, and then f***ing themselves.

Edge & Christian vs. Too Cool (Tag Title): Road Dogg is walking through the
hall, and a door starts rattling. He asks if someone is locked in, and it
rattles again. He opens the door and gets pulled in. After some muffled
sounds, Road Dogg gets thrown out onto the ground. In the ring, Edge &
Christian come out and welcome all the fellow Canadians. Christian says that
British Columbia isn't the brightest province, so they'll make it really
clear. Edge says that Joe C. is an overrated midget rapper. So they have a
new pose called, Kickin' It Joe C. Style. They put on hats and put shoes on
their knees and kneel in the ring, posing like rappers. Then Too Cool dance

but Joe C. low blows him with the hockey stick. GrandMaster pins 1-2-3! Too
Cool are the NEW Tag Team Champs. Rikishi gives Too Cool and Joe C. glasses,
and all four of them dance. Commercial.

Christian the titles. In the back, Vince and Steph are talking, and the
video scrambles and rewinds, but then they start talking again, and Vince
says that there will be another big surprise tonight. The lights go out and
we hear a scuffle. The lights come on and Vince is on the ground of his now
messed up dressing room. Steph says Vince is bleeding, and Vince wants to
know who did this. In the hallways, Rikishi and Shane are separately getting
ready for their match, the first King of the Ring qualifier. Commercial.

happening in Vince's dressing room. In the arena. Shane the Giant Killer

but the ref doesn't call for the bell. Rikishi now has Triple H and Shane in
opposite corners, set up for Stinky Face. He chooses to go for Triple H, but
Shane runs in with a chair and nails Rikishi. He nails him again and the ref
calls for the bell. Triple H Pedigrees Rikishi on the chair and Shane pins
Rikishi, and he counts the three count by himself, but the ring announcer
announces Rikishi as the winner by DQ. In the dressing room, Steph says that
she gave T&A their chance to beat Jericho, and they failed. However, since
the Hardys ran down, they will get one last chance in a six man match of T&A
and Val Venis vs. Jericho and the Hardys. As soon as she leaves, Test yells
out "Bitch", and the group walks out. Commercial.

Chris Jericho & The Hardy Boyz vs. T&A & Val Venis: Replay of the end of the
Shane vs. Rikishi match. In the arena, the Y2J Countdown hits 00 and they
Ayatollah comes out to a big pop. Replay of T&A's match against Jericho on
HeAT. We are welcomed to RAW is JERICHO. He says that Steph seems to have
spent a lot of energy on Jericho these past few weeks. Could this be because
she has a crush on Y2J? Jericho says that maybe if she combs out her hair,
buys a lot of face wash, and stops being a trash bag ho, then she might have
a chance with the Ayatollah. Then the Hardys come out. Then T&A come out

about Vince and Road Dogg getting attacked, and Rock sarcastically says he is
real sorry. He then says that he's looking forward to fighting the Taker,
not because he cost him the title, but because Rock is now on his way to
getting the title back. Commercial.

Chris Benoit vs. Hardcore Holly (IC Title): Hardcore comes out first. He
gets on the mic and says that Benoit could have had it easy by giving him a
title shot at the beginning, and not to Val Venis, and Kurt Angle, and Chris
Jericho. He says that Benoit is a typical Canadian in that he is a coward,
and Hardcore is happy to beat his cowardly ass in "this crappy country".
Benoit comes out to a pop. Benoit says that Hardcore should stop running his
mouth. He says that Hardcore has interfered in matches, hit him with a

dislike the Rock, but he has to do this to get to the title. Commercial.

walking to the ring. Commercial.

trashcan since he made them lose the belts. Then, Christian goes to get a
chair, and comes back and nails the trashcan with it and they smash the can
against the wall. In the arena, Undertaker comes out, but oddly, without his
bike, and using the prerecorded Kid Rock song, not a live entrance. Then
Rock comes out to a huge pop. The two stare each other down. "No Chances"
hits and Vince comes out with a mic. He says that before the two of them
beat the hell out of each other, he wants to know which one of them attacked
Road Dogg, Patterson, and he from behind. First he says it was Rock, but
Rock points at Undertaker. Taker then shakes his head no. Vince then says
that Rock denies it, and the other swears to it. He says that since they
won't fess up, this match will be a lumberjack match. Then, Corporation X (I
like that better than McMahon-Helmsley Regime), T&A, Bossman and Bull come
down to be the Lumberjacks and Jills. Taker takes off his glasses and coat.
