WWF RAW is WAR starts off with footage from this past Thursday night on WWF Smackdown! when Stone Cold Steve Austin teamed up with Chris Jericho against Chris Benoit and Kane. Stone Cold gave the referee, Chris Benoit and Kane a stunner, and Austin is on a rampage as of late! Jim Ross is along side Jerry "The King" Lawler for tonight's edition of RAW is WAR, and the fans in Iowa State are going nuts! To start off the night in the arena, Kurt Angle's music hits and he is on his way to the ring as the World Wrestling Federation Champion. Jim Ross mentions that Triple H and Stephanie are on their way to RAW now, and he runs down some of the card for tonight's edition of RAW as Kurt Angle gets in the ring.

Kurt gets in the ring, and the fans boo him as he's ready to speak. Kurt says as another month passes, and another pay per view approaches, he would like to ask everyone a question. He wants everyone to listen very carefully. The fans chant "Asshole, asshole!" and Kurt says when everyone is out on their jobs crowing corn or milking cows or whatever it is the fans do in Iowa, are they ever in danger of someone brutally attacking them, just because they can? Kurt asks this, because over the weekend, he gave it some thought and being a WWF Superstar means that it's the only profession in the world where someone can be violent to you and not get punished. If anything, you get rewarded. What's going on? Between the Undertaker choke slamming him off of the stage, to Triple H masterminding a hit and run on Stone Cold Steve Austin.

To Stone Cold himself nearly smashing Triple H with a fork lift at the Survivor Series. The fans cheer, and Kurt tells them to hold on and he says that it's getting out of control. It's true, it's true. Not to mention Stone Cold Steve Austin stunning the referee last week on WWF Smackdown!. If that were to happy in any other organized sport, it would be a national scandal, but in the WWF, it's just another day in the office. Kurt Angle has had it! Ever since he has been in the WWF, he preached the three I's. Intensity, integrity and intelligence. But the more time he spends here, the more he sees his integrity in jeopardy. The fans loudly chant "Asshole, asshole!" and Kurt says that people may see him as a sport's entertainer, but he sees himself, first and foremost as a wrestler. Because that's what he has done his whole entire life, and that's why he won the Gold Medals.

Not to mention that is why he is the WWF Champion. He did not sign up to get choke slammed by the Undertaker off of a stage, or to see his brother get attacked or to witness a hit and run, or a fork lift attack or God knows what else? He says this, because in less than two weeks, they are headed to a pay per view known as Armageddon. If the awful acts of violence does not end, then he is taking his title and he is going home. The music of the Commissioner of the WWF, Mick Foley hits, and he is on his way out to the arena with his Lt. Commissioner, Debra! Mick Foley and Debra get in the ring as Jerry Lawler goes nuts for the puppy power. Mick says that he and Debra were backstage, and they were taking about how it's not often that they can agree with him, but tonight, he is in total agreement. Things have gotten out of hand in the WWF. Let's face it, Mick was in some pretty rough matches, but not even he was dropped 40 feet to the ground, or run over by a car.

Kurt Angle is right, and the violence must end, especially violence towards the referees. Debra tells Mick something, and Mick says that she brings up a good point. Kurt comes out here and talks about integrity, and how can he talk about that when he has a business advisor in Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley who interferes in every one of his matches? Kurt says that Stephanie hasn't been here in over a month, and he is still the WWF Champion. Having Stephanie at is side is like the people in Iowa having a computer. Sure, it's nice to look at, but it doesn't make a difference. Kurt Angle says that he doesn't need Stephanie, and he will be happy to tell her that. Mick says he received word that Stephanie and Triple H were on their way here tonight, and they ran into some travel problems, so they aren't expected here tonight. We have Armageddon coming up, and unless Mick gets a grasp on things, we may be looking at Armageddon for real.

There will be a WWF Championship match, if Kurt is still the Champion. Kurt says he is the Champion, and he will face the winner between The Rock and Rikishi at Armageddon. Mick says that seeing as Rikishi didn't beat up some referees, he is going to put him in a number one contenders match tonight against The Rock. Kurt tells Mick that he already knew that. Mick says that these people didn't stop growing corn and milking cows to not see a WWF Title match, did they? So Kurt Angle will be defending his belt tonight, and there will be no fork lifts, or accidents, but it will involve Kurt's butt getting kicked all over Iowa State University! Mick tells everyone to have a nice day, and we don't know who Kurt Angle is going against tonight for the WWF Title!

Edge and Christian are shown, and Kurt shows up, and Edge and Christian agree with what Kurt said out in the arena. Kurt complains about having to defend his WWF Title tonight, and he doesn't know who he is going against. Christian is looking at the TV, and the Undertaker is shown arriving, and Edge says holy rematches, Foley is going to make Kurt fight the Undertaker.
