We start with video of the Billy and Chuck non-marriage that was interrupted by an incredibly disguised Eric Bischoff and his pals Rosie and Jamal.

Eric Bischoff Interview
-LIVE in the arena, Bischoff sits in a dark ring, illuminated by a lone spotlight. You might know him from Raw or last week's SmackDown. But his guest appearance was a one-time shot. He can only provide the most incredible moment in SmackDown history every so often. But he is back on Raw, and he didn't come alone. He came back with the man that made last Thursday possible: Rico! Rico comes out and says hi. Bischoff rewards Rico by granting him a debut match against Ric Flair. Rico believes in the Eric Bischoff philosophy: controversy creates cash. Tonight will be a special evening. Rob Van Dam and Triple H are scheduled to face each other at Unforgiven. SmackDown might leave it at that, but here on Raw, they still have matches, and Title matches at that. And they will face off against opponents of Bischoff's own choice. If the Title picture changes, he'll deal with it later. But let it never be said that Eric Bischoff is putting out a boring, predictable product. We'll leave that for Stephanie McMahon and SmackDown. So with nothing further, enjoy Monday Night Raw!

Triple H Interview
-The music video plays and the pyros explode. And we will start with the Heavyweight Champion of the World: Triple H. The Game walks to the ring, Title belt in hand, sporting his Friday dress-casual clothing. Everyplace he went over the last week, he heard the same thing: }you're going to lose your Title to Rob Van Dam and get your ass kicked. The Game doesn't sweat Rob Van Dam, and he certainly isn't scared. Rob Van Dam is not championship material. What, he got lucky with one frog splash? Don't think so. Van Dam can't cut the mustard, whereas Triple H is the greatest World Champion there has ever been. He has it all: the body, the ability, the talent, and the brains. Rob Van Dam doesn't stand a chance. But what is getting under his skin is people chanting "R-V-D R-V-D." It's that kind of disrespect that pisses him off. He is Triple H, the Heavyweight Champion of the World, because he is The Game and is that damn... RVD's music hits, and Mr. Monday Night casually walks down the ramp and slides in the ring. He hears Triple H saying that he's not concerned about their match, but Trips is seriously stressed out. The tension is radiating off his body as anger. Anger is a negative energy. What's he have to be angry about? Because he saw RVD in the ring doing all those cool moves? That's what RVD is all about. He's just amazing. The Game says he's amazing all right. And he's also right about being angry. But that anger is a gift that is the reason he is the World Heavyweight Champion. That anger is the reason he sells out arenas. That anger is the reason he headlines Pay-Per-Views. RVD says he's not trying to take away his accomplishments, and even congratulates Triple H on his success. He loves the way Triple H displays his abilities. He has proven that he can spit some water like nobody else. He takes it to another level, popping the lats out and growling. And then when the music cue hits and he lets it out? It's beautiful. That takes talent. Van Dam claps for The Game's spitting ability, but Triple H just laughs. RVD's a funny guy, and he can see why the people love him: because he's just like the fans. He's a gross under-achiever. He can make those jokes, but for all his athleticism and ability, he won't amount to a damn thing in this business. The fact is, RVD is not championship material and he will never be a World Heavyweight Champion. Now RVD gets what this is all about. Trips is angry because his fans aren't cheering for him. He wants them to chant "H-H-H"? It's not going to happen. It's just that they're too busy chanting the name of their favorite superstar and the next World Champion: Rob-Van-Dam. Triple H steps back and attacks, but RVD catches The Game's boot and hits a step-over heel kick. Van Dam hops out of the ring while The Game struggles to get up from the mat. Fade Out.

Earlier today, a group of women were protesting outside, chanting "I.O.W". Who knows what it means, but you can bet it has to do with the lesbians.

In the back, Terri asks Booker T about facing Test. Ever since he was a Little Book, he hated tests. Back in French class, his teacher told him that it doesn't matter if you fail the test, as long as you show up. Then again, she failed him and he had to go to summer school. But tonight, he's going to show up and pass the test with flying colors. And it won't be taken with a #2 pencil, but rather, a #5, as in the 5-time WCW Champion. Now can you dig that, sucka?

In the back, Terri asks Flair for his thoughts after losing to Rico. Triple H comes up and says he knows what Flair is feeling. He's humiliated, embarassed. Back in the day, Triple H idolized Flair, and now he's losing matches to guys that can't hold his jockstrap. Flair has lost his instincts and his guts. Why doesn't he just retire and get out while the getting's good. The Ric Flair of today is pathetic. Flair jumps up and says that pathetic is walking around with the World Title without having earned it. Triple H has no idea how good he was, or what he's capable of today. Flair storms off, but Triple H says he knows exactly what Flair is made of. Fade Out.
