Pat Patterson and Gerald Briscoe are seen asking WWF co-owner Linda McMahon not to head to the ring, but she says she has to take care of family business. Triple H and Chyna make it into the building with a police escort.

Pat Patterson, Gerald Brisco and WWF co-owner Linda McMahon show up to start the show. Linda says that Triple H dug his own grave last Thursday night, and tonight, he will have to sleep in it. She says there is no question that Kane, The Undertaker, Big Show, Mankind and The Rock all deserve a shot at Triple H and the WWF Championship, but only one men can get it. She announces all five aforementioned men will face off in a five-way no-holds-barred match, where the winner will face Triple H for the WWF Championship at Unforgiven. This begs who will become WWF Champion come Unforgiven, and she says there will be a man who will appear tonight who, while not 100%, has a contractual obligation to demand a championship rematch with Triple H. Should he arrive, Triple H will be defending the title tonight against that man: "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. Triple H, who is watching from the back along with Chyna and the police escort, says that Linda has "flipped her lid," and heads down to the ring with Chyna and the police escort. Triple H attacks Gerald Brisco, and Chyan hits Pat Patterson with a low blow as the police escort surrounds the ring. Triple H says he doesn't know what Linda is thinking about, and asks if she has flipped her lid. He tells Linda that this is a game she does not want to be in, and tells her to pack her bags and go back to Stamford, Connecticut before she makes him do something he is going to regret. As Linda backs off, Big Show and The Undertaker are seen in the crowd but are stopped by the police escort. The Rock and Mankind are seen coming out through the crowd, but they are stopped by the escort after they hop the barricade. The Kane then shows up from backstage, and this leads to a brawl between all five men while Triple H and Chyna get away along with the police. Afterwards, it is noticed that a steel cage is suspended high above the ring.

Michael Cole interviews The Rock and Mankind. The Rock tells Cole it doesn't matter how he feels about the match, and that he is finally back in Anaheim, California in front of the millions of his fans, who will all be chanting his name. He says he will lay the smack down on all the others' candy asses and stick Mankind's mask up his candy ass. Mankind says he has a feeling there will be many painful feelings, and says that it will be up to The Rock to lay the smack down on his candy ass.

Jeff Jarrett, Debra and Miss Kitty show up. Jarrett asks who it's going to be tonight, and says that "if you wear a dress and you relieve yourself in a squatting position, you're getting your ass kicked tonight." He says that women are weak and that men are the dominant species, and if anybody wants to argue they point, all they have to do is come down to the ring. The challenged is answered by Luna Vachon.

Luna Vachon beats Jeff Jarrett by disqualification after Tori runs in and hits Luna with Jarrett's guitar. Jarrett confronts Lilian Garcia for announcing he has lost, and forces her into the ring. Lilian trips over the bottom rope, and Jarrett puts her in the Figure Four Leg Lock until referees run into the ring to restore order. Once again, Debra and Miss Kitty are begging for Jarrett to stop.

Michael Cole interviews Big Show and The Undertaker. The Undertaker asks Triple H how it feels from going from the unter to the hunted, and says he's so much of an endangered species that The Crocodile Hunter can't save him now. As for Mankind and The Rock, they should be worried more about what they're bringing, as they will be all over them like the leopard pants on the butt of the girl in the front row.

Jim Ross interviews The British Bulldog in the ring. He says that he gave Al Snow the WWF Hardcore Championship because he deserves it, and he wanted to show everyone who didn't think he would make a comeback that he could come back. As he stands in the ring, all the people know he has been the European Champion, the Intercontinental Champion and one-half of the tag team champions, and that he is back for the WWF Championship, which he has never won. He says he will be WWF Champion before he retires. Suddenly, The Big Boss man shows up and says that last Thursday, the Bulldog stuck his nose in his business and that nobody does that to him. He says him being WWF Champion will never happen, since he plans to send him home in a doggy bag before the night is over. Al Snow suddenly shows and asks Boss Man if he got his "love letter" last week, which happened to be a very special challenge to a very special match .Snow admits he may be mentally off once in a while, but thought that since Boss Man enjoyed keeping Pepper in a cage until he cooked him, he decided to put Boss Man's "fat, donut eating ass" in a cage, too. He proposes putting a steel cage on top of the ring, then surround it with the Cell from Hell in a Cell, and have the inner be the first to get out of both cages. Boss Man wants to know if the WWF Hardcore Championship will be on the line, because he will not get in the ring if it is not. He says the title is on the line, and a whole lot more. Boss Man accepts, but says he's going to get a piece of Al Snow right now. Snow says he forgot to mention one thing: a few of "Pepper's family members" will be in the Cell in that match, and he is making sure they haven't eaten for a couple of weeks before the match. He thing brings out a few of them right now. Dog handles bring out dogs, but they are not chihuahuas; they are Rottweilers. Boss Man says he is afraid of nothing, much less the dogs, and says he will get him at Unforgiven. Snow tells Boss Man that revenge is a bitch, and these bitches are in heat," and he will make him pay for what he did to Pepper. The British Bulldog then attacks Boss Man from beihnd, starting a brawl between the two that ends when the Rottweilers are sicced on Boss Man, who runs out through the crowd.

Michael Cole interviews The Mean Street Posse (Rodney, Pete Gas, Joey Abs) and Terri Runnels. Joey Abs says he and WWF co-owner Shane McMahon go way back, but tonight, he will have to disagree with him and he will kick Test's ass. He tells Test that otnight he will find out what it is like to get in the ring with a real man, and if he wont do it for himself, then may be he can do it for "that tramp fiancee," Stephanie McMahon. He tells Terri to get back in the truck, because this could get nasty.

WAR ZONE

Before the next match, Triple H tells "Stone Cold" Steve Austin that there is nothing he would love more than to get in the ring and kick his ass. Only thing is, he ruined it by ramming him with an ambulance on SmackDown, and says that is aggravated assault. He has signed a warrant for Austin's arrest, and sends his police escort after him. Austin is handcuffed with two sets of handcuffs and arrested, and Triple H and Chyna then get in the ring. Triple H then punches Austin, and Triple H is held back while Austin is hauled off to the back.

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin is seen being placed in the back of a squad car as Triple H and Chyna watch. WWF co-owner Linda McMahon - whose cellphone is grabbed out of her hands and thrown to the floor by Triple H - is seen as Triple H, Chyna and the police escort leave.

Before the next match, The Godfather - who is in the ring for the first time in months - offers to have a wrestling match with Chaz, as Chaz's luck with women has not been good lately. (This is the first known instance of The Godfather asking everyone to "roll up a fatty for this pimp daddy" before telling them to say that pimpin' ain't easy.)

The Godfather beats Chaz. During the match, Marianna shows up with tears coming down her face, saying "Chaz, why?" Marianna also has a black eye on the left side of her face as Marianna keeps asking Chaz "Why?" The Godfather proceeds to beat the crap out of Chaz for supposedly physically abusing Marianna.

Pat Patterson and Gerald Brisco asks WWF co-owner Linda McMahon to head to a hotel since tonight is going to get worse. Linda says tonight is family business, that she cannot run from anyone and that they cannot be pushed around, and that she is going to stay.

The steel cage has been lowered before the next match. Chris Jericho shows up and checks the integrity of the cage, then welcomes everyone to "Raw Is Jericho." He says "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock is a fake and that he doesn't rock, Jericho rocks. Last week, he embarrassed Shamrock once again and destroyed his reputation in front of all his friends, family and "so-called fans." Because he is a heck of a nice guy, he has decided to give him one more lesson and one more chance to realize he is the world's most dangerous man. He says the steel cage is a prison and a "Y2Jail" as well as his specialty. He has scoured the world to find the most proficient shoot fighter he could come across so he can rip him limb from limb and prove he is one bad mamma jamma. He then brings out his opponent: Gotch Gracie. Gotch Gracie - a big man in all black, including a black mask that completely covers his face - shows up and climbs into the cage and the ring.

Chris Jericho beats Gotch Gracie (a portmanteau of Karl Gotch and Royce Gracie) in a Steel Cage Match with the Lion Tamer. During the match, Jericho repeatedly talks into the microphone and puts himself on a pedestal. After the match, jericho says he is not only the master of the greatest submission move in sports entertainment, but also the master of "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock's moves. He then puts Gotch Gracie in an ankle lock submission, then Shamrock shows up. Jericho tries to climb out of the steel cage, but Shamrock grabs him. Suddenly, Gotch Gracie gets up and attacks Shamrock along with Jericho. Jericho then unmasks Gotch Gracie, who is none other than Curtis Hughes aka Mr. Hughes, who in the WWF in 1993 and 1994.

D'Lo Brown and The Godfather talk backstage. D'Lo hands The Godfather a bunch of money.

Michael Cole interviews Chris Jericho, who says that he was trying to teach "The World's Most Dangerous Man" Ken Shamrock a lesson and tell him that he would rip him limb from limb, and to prove he was the WWF's most dangerous man, he hired Curtis Hughes to protect Shamrock from Jericho, not the other way around, and says that he will pluck Shamrock's limbs off the next time they meet. If Shamrock has a problem with that, he can take it up with Mr. Hughes.

Big Show vs. The Undertaker vs. The Rock vs. Mankind vs. Kane to determine a #1 contender for the WWF Championship ends in a no-contest. During the match, Mideon and Viscera show up and watch from ringside, and attack Mankind at one point. Later in the match, the referee gets grabbed and knocked down by The Undertaker as he counts a pinfall for Mankind, leaving the match without a referee. Referee Tim White shows up, but he gets attacked by Kane and kicked out of the ring. Two more referees run in, but they get headbutted by Big Show and The Undertaker. Officials then run into the ring, but all of them get beaten up as soon as they get in. Referee Earl Hebner shows up, looks at the carnage, waves his hands downwards as if to say "forget this" and goes back to the back. The Godfather then shows up, but he gets beaten up, too. Crash Holly does not fare well, either, as he eats a choke slam from Big Show. Prince Albert also gets beat up, as does Chaz, Christian, and Stevie Richards. The entire WWF locker room then runs into the locker room, starting a brawl of epic proportions.

Backstage, the referees say they have no control in the ring whatsoever as they are treated by a doctor.

Val Venis and D'Lo Brown vs. "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman and "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry ends up being a 2-on-1 handicap match between Blackman and the team of D'Lo and Val Venis when Mark Henry refuses to show up. Also, referee Earl Hebner does not show up until during Blackman's entrance.

D'Lo Brown and Val Venis beat "The Lethal Brown" Steve Blackman in an impromptu 2-on-1 handicap match. After the match, GTV footage shows up on the TitanTron, and it is revealed that The Godfather is entertaining Mark Henry with a pair of hos. Blackman is livid.

A black limousine is seen pulling up at the arena.

Before the next match, Triple H says WWF co-owner Linda McMahon needs to take care of family business, but this personal and they have some business to take care. He warns her not to bring any more innocent people into this, and make him and Chyna beat up Pat Patterson and Gerlad Brisco again. He demands that Linda show up in the ring right now. Linda shows up, and Triple H says he is trying to be nice as he likes her, and asks her to tell everyone what happened tonight and how "Stone Cold" Steve Austin forfeited his shot at the WWF Championship when he got arrested. Linda says she will not do that, and she refuses again. Suddenly, WWF co-owner Shane McMahon's music hits, but it's not Shane...it's WWF co-owner Vince McMahon, who has not been seen since the Raw after Fully Loaded. Vince confronts Triple H, saying he would not interfere in WWF business again, but this is not business; it is personal. He calls Triple a son-of-a-bitch and asks him who the hell he thinks he is, and says he needs a reminder of who gave him the break and the opportunity to become WWF Champion. Vince throws his jacket at Triple H, and Triple H and Vince are about to fight when "Stone Cold" Steve Austin runs out and fights Triple H. Vince McMahon gets out of the ring with Linda and they both hightail it to the back.

Triple H retains the WWF Championship against "Stone Cold" Steve Austin by disqualification. During the match, Austin punches referee Earl Hebner for not letting him use a steel chair to cripple Triple H. Nevertheless, Triple H and Austin brawl on the ramp until the steel cage starts coming down again. Austin sends Triple H into the cage, and their brawl continues there before Austin hits Triple H with a Stone Cold Stunner.

After the show goes off the air, Austin continues to celebrate in the steel cage. Triple H drinks the beer than Austin fails to catch, then Austin hits him with another Stone Cold Stunner as he drinks it. Austin then celebrates with more beer, then kicks his knee braces off as Triple H gets up. Austin catches a few more beers, drinks, then offers another to Triple H. Both men have a toast and drink, then Austin hits Triple H with another Stunner before heading to the back.
