Shane McMahon introduces WWF owner Vince McMahon to the ring to start tonight's show. After a replay of Vince McMahon winning the 1999 Royal Rumble Match and bragging about beating "Stone Cold" Steve Austin last night following a beating from the rest of The Corporation, he tells Austin not to disgrace himself and make him go 3-0 on him tonight, then says they don't have to have the cage match tonight. Vince gives Austin one last chance to break his contract tonight before they go to the cage, as he has big plans and he doesn't want to execute them. He also says that if Austin doesn't have the guts to come to the ring, then he will come looking for him backstage. Meanwhile, Austin - who has been watching backstage - responds by throwing the monitor he has been watching the show on at the wall.

Backstage, The Rock interviews a woman who is applying to be his personal masseuse. After asking her if she likes pancakes - to which she says yes - they both go outside. There are a few other women lined up near the wall, and The Rock tells them they are the largest collection of "female two dollar skanks" he has ever seen and tells them all to leave.
"The King" Jerry Lawler shows up. He introduces Debra to the ring, and Debra says she is about to make Ivory an offer she cannot refuses before calling her out. Ivory shows up, and Debra admits that they both got off on the wrong foot, she is not done with her. Instead of a regular tag match, she proposes a six-person tag match. Ivory says the title match will happen, and her man will take Debra's "boys" down. Also, if she sees Debra near D'Lo Brown or "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry, she will rip her clothes right off of her back. This leads to a catfight between Debra and Ivory, and Owen Hart, Jeff Jarrett, D'Lo and Mark Henry have to separate both women.

WWF owner Vince McMahon shows up. He tells "Stone Cold" Steve Austin his time is up, and says it is appropriate to be up on St. Valentine's Day before saying that love is a load of crap. Vince says that when he thinks about Austin, one word comes to mind: hate, as he loathes the ground that Austin walks on. Vince says that if Austin makes him do what he has to do, then he will do it with as much hate as he possibly can, and gives him ten more seconds to make his way to the ring. Instead of Austin, however, he gets WWF Commissioner "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels, who has not been seen since the assault on him by The Corporation. He tells him that if he wants to get someone's attention, he should whisper, but that would be a waste of both their time and he would rather punch Vince in the face. After Vince accuses Shawn of hiding Austin behind his back, Austin shows up, and Vince dares Austin to break his contract and hit him while Shawn tris to dissuade him. Vince then spits in Austin's face, then Austin tells him he will wipe the spit on his shirt off with Vince's blood to end the show.
