Cactus Jack shows up to start tonight show, and he is accompanied by Chris Benoit, Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko and Eddie Guerrero. He has brought the "radicals" back not as members of the WWF, but as his guests, but he plans to change all that tonight. Earlier this week on Raw, they had Triple H in the middle of the ring flat on his back, and they chose to leave because the "radicals" are not after his blood; instead, they are after contracts. He says that to understand what is going on in their minds, you have to understand the mindset "down in Atlanta, Georgia," where they used to work in World Championship Wrestling. He says the mindset is "keep your mouth shut, check your pride at the door, and sit back and collect a big, fat paycheck." He then says that is not good enough for the four of them, as it is about more than a paycheck for them. Cactus Jack says they want to take on the best, and that the WWF is the only place to do it, as it is their desire to perform in front of the WWF fans and they knew that no matter how good they were, they were not quite old enough for WCW. Cactus Jack says they came to Raw with the testicular fortitude to take on the best, and he asks Triple H to show that same fortitude so they can have one hell of a contract signing. If he does not, then SmackDown will become a two-hour-long sit-down and they will continue to bore the American public. D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn), WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley and Tori show up, and Triple H says that if he really felt like it, he would beat them all up and take them in the back himself, or he could snap his fingers and 20 armed security guards could walk to the ring, round them up, and throw them out of the building. He says they are all trespassing as they have not contract and do not belong, but they are out here as Cactus Jack wants to talk about competition and say DX is afraid of it. He then says Cactus Jack should know better than that, and that he should know DX thrives on competition. Stephanie says the "radicals" may have been hot shots where they came from, but in the WWF, they have to prove who they are to earn their stripes. She says their actions on Monday night prove they are not worthy of joining the WWF. They have assessed their skills, and while they are not bad, they are simply average. In the name of fairness, Triple H says that if they want to rise to the top, they will get their chance. Tonight, they will get a one-day try-out permit, and it will start with Malenko facing X-Pac. Perry Saturn and Eddie Guerrero will be in a tag team match with The New Age Outlaws (Road Dogg and Billy Gunn), while Chris Benoit - who Triple H says was a big fish in a small pond carrying a shiny belt the las time he saw him - will get into the ring with Triple H, should it come to that. He says it will never get to that, as there are rules to the try-out. Contracts will be on the line, and if they can win two matches out of the three, the four of them will get their contracts. However, he says it will never get to him facing Benoit, as Malenko, Eddie and Saturn will be torn apart. Cactus Jack says that is fine, as all they need is one opportunity, but he knows how DX works. To make sure everything is on the up-and-up and that there is no interference, he will be watching from backstage with a 2x4 with barbed wire wrapped around it in his hands, and he begs Triple H to give him a reason to use it.
