When the show returns with a recap of the triple threat match that just ended.
There is a countdown clock in the corner of the screen to show how long until voting for Taboo Tuesday starts.
King takes a mic and asks the crowd how the think the Coach is doing - they all booed. King then asks how many liked seeing Austin embarrass Coach last week - they cheered. They then showed last week’s clip of Austin punking out Coach. King then says what the three votes we have for Austin and Coach. It could be a verbal debate - boos, arm wrestling - boos or a Street Fight - the crowd goes wild.

Coach is in the ring calling out Austin. He’s going to come out back and drag Austin out if he’s not out in the count of three. Coach made it to two when Austin’s music hit. Austin was tearing through the back in his truck.
From the truck came Stephanie wearing an Austin hat. She and Coach are both laughing like crazy. They congratulated each other for their performances. Steph then said Austin wasn’t going to be here tonight.
Coach said if Austin shows up next week he will call him out. Steph says that’s what Coach is the new voice of RAW. The crowd starts Chanting, ‘Slut, slut’. Steph mentioned that JR had successful colon surgery and her family is happy about that.
Steph says her father would like to take Coach’s place at Taboo Tuesday. At this point Foley’s music hits and he comes out wearing typical Foley reffing gear. Steph told him to get it out of his system, what ever he wanted to say. He said he couldn’t listen to someone who was so full of crap. Steph said that JR was. Foley said he was disgusted that she would make colon jokes like that.
Foley couldn’t believe Linda could stoop to the level of the rest of the McMahons. He hates to see Steph ruining the business he loves. Steph says with out her family there would be no business Foley loves.
Steph then called out Foley’s opponent for Taboo Tuesday. As Carlito comes out Steph nailed Foley with a low blow. While he was down Carlito attacked him. Carlito kicked the hell out of him, hit a low blow then spit apple in Foley’s face.

Slam of The Week was Linda firing JR and embarrassing him in the ring.
Vince comes out to the ring grinning. He says he doesn’t like it when WE second guess the decisions of his family. JR is fired and Coach is taking his place. He says he always knew JR was full of crap. ‘We want JR. We want JR.’ Vince made another potty joke. ‘Asshole, asshole.’ Vince said exactly what he’s there to talk about. He said whenever a wrestler has surgery WWE has cameras there - Same for JR. They go to video.
Vince is the doctor in a horrible operating room vignette. There was a fake plastic bum they were ‘operating’ on. They got a jar of BBQ sauce, a football and an owl out of his bum. There were little sound bit of JR through the whole thing. They then pulled out the other hand (remember Mae Young?), a goldfish in a bag of water, a football helmet from his favorite team, (Vince then used a jackhammer) then out came an Austin sipper cup. (Vince calls for the jaw of life.) Out came JR’s head. Vince said he figured out the problem, he had his head up his ass. Vince then got kinky with the nurse. (It’s been a long time since we’ve seen a WWE skit, but I think this was in poor taste, but then again I can sympathize - personally - with JR and the surgery he just went through
The crowd was not impressed - they were very quiet. Vince said due to the crowds reaction that they have the same problem - their heads are up their asses.

Cade and Murdock are in the ring. Rosey comes out, but where is Hurricane. Rosey keeps looking up at the entrance for him. (I guess Hurricane turned on Rosey on Heat - they said something about him slapping Rosey and ripping his mask off. I need to check it out online.)
Rosey attacks Murdock as he gets out of the ring, but Cade hits him from behind. Gregory Helm is standing on the stage wearing street clothes and sunglasses. His hair isn’t green and has said that he’s going by Gregory Helms from now on.
Rosey goes over the top and is getting beaten down by both Cade and Murdock. Murdock dropped a couple elbows on Rosey and then acted like he was Rosey’s partner and when Rosey reached for a tag, Cade came back in to beat on Rosey more.
Rosey tries to fight back, but gets double teamed and Suplexed by the Champs. Murdock covered Rosey for the win.
- Winner: Cade & Murdock
