The Raw music video plays, the pyro explodes, and we are LIVE from Cleveland, Ohio. After panning the crowd, the camera turns to the ring, which is surrounded by Raw Superstars.

Vince McMahon Interview
-"No Chances" hits, and Vince McMahon marches to the ring, moves RVD and Goldust out of the way, and enters. Many of these Superstars have asked him a question that he is here to answer: what is Vince's secret to success? The answer is plain and simple: ruthless aggression. Years ago, he kicked every wrestling promotions' asses because of his ruthless aggression. He took on WCW, and managed to kick their ass and take over the company because of ruthless aggression. Now, which of these Superstars has that ruthless aggression? Tonight, we will find out which of these Superstars posesses this feature. There is one Raw Superstar who is not here, because he already showed his ruthless aggression: Brock Lesnar. The new King of the Ring didn't care who he had to beat or how; he just used his aggression to take the Title. BuhBuh Ray Dudley went out last night and, in an attempt to make a name for himself, took out Eddie Guerrero and helped Ric Flair to victory. Well tonight, BuhBuh will get to show his ruthless aggression against Eddie Guerrero. Mr. Extreme himself Jeff Hardy is here, and he'll get to show his aggression in a non-title match against the Undertaker. As Jeff shows his happiness, Vince tells Matt Hardy that he will be barred from ringside. Vince walks around the ring, shouting at his Superstars that they had better show that they have the aggression needed to become Champions, because if they don't have it, he doesn't want them. As Vince begins to leave the ring, the black and white flashes, as the nWo come out on stage. Shawn Michaels appologizes for being late. Vince's ruthless aggression personifies his group. And if you want to be honest, Vince has no bigger Superstars than the nWo. So if Vince wants them to take out any of that trash at the ring, they're ready to go to work for Vince. Nash takes the mic and says that if any of the wrestlers at the ring have a problem with that, they can shout, after they headline some WrestleManias of course. Booker T steps into the ring, saying that the nWo has got to go. Goldust joins him, saying that no one in the WWE are tighter than Booker and Goldust. They're boys, homies; hell, they're practically married! Booker yells at Goldust, then tells Vince that he'll take any of the nWo members tonight. Vince says that it won't be against Shawn Michaels. Michaels is an icon in this business, who possesses the quality Vince is talking about. It won't be Kevin Nash either. As soon as Nash gets over his bicep tear, it might be, but not now. But if Nash doesn't live up to expectations, he'll find himself in the unemployment line with Scott Hall. Nash rubs his nose with his middle finger. Vince says if you want it, you have to take it. So Booker takes the mic from Vince, but Vince takes it right back. Vince says that X-Pac and Big Show will face Booker and his close friend Goldust. Booker takes the mic, but against Vince takes it right back, saying that Michaels and Nash are barred from ringside. Yet again, Booker takes the mic, saying that he can dig that, and getting in Vince's face for the "sucka." Fade Out.

So tonight, they'll go at it, with the loser never appearing on Raw again. Vince enters his office, to find Jackie from Tough Enough, wrapped up in a trenchcoat. She says she's going to show how aggressive she can be. Vince says that he wants to see her aggression up close in his office, and in the ring. How about she and Molly team up against Trish and Linda from Tough Enough. Jackie says she has no problem with the match, but she came to show that she's ready for Divas Undressed. She takes off her trenchcoat to reveal a black bra and matching thong. Undertaker comes in, causing Jackie to run off. Taker says that he's upset. If he wasn't the Baddest Man on the Planet, he might have lost his Title. Rock can come and give all the speeches he wants, but it's a different story when the Title is at hands. Rock nearly cost him his Title last night. Taker says that he wants The Rock tonight. Vince says that Rock's appearance was a one-time thing, but knowing that, Vince made Taker a match with Jeff Hardy. Taker can just pretend that Jeff is the Rock. Taker thinks it over and says that it's a good thing Vince wants new stars, because he's going to make Jeff Hardy famous. Fade Out.
