Raw Deal - Raw recap for January 11, 2021

Triple H shows up to start tonight's show. Before he can say much of anything however, so does Randy Orton. Orton jokes that "the office finally decided to show up because [Drew] McIntyre couldn't," then figures that Triple H is here to make an official ruling. Triple H admits that Orton has been impressive as of late while addressing Orton setting Alexa Bliss on fire. Triple H admits he was never prouder of Orton than in that moment, knowing what awaited Orton on the other side of that lit match, but says there are a few things Orton has done that he does not understand, like threatening, humiliating or attacking legends. He says that some of Orton's recent action solidify him not as a legend, but as a "no-good prick," but Orton says Triple H can say what he wants for he is a legend in his own much like Triple H was. Orton then asks Triple H is he still has it in him and if the Triple H of old is still in there, and asks Triple H take him on in an old-fashioned fight tonight. Triple H declines, saying there is no benefit to him. As Triple H leaves, Orton says that Triple H has declined because he cannot "retrieve [his] balls from [Stephanie McMahon]'s purse." Triple H walks back up to Orton and punches him, and Orton laughs after rolling out of the ring. Orton takes this as a "yes."

Backstage, Sarah Schreiber interviews Triple H, who says that he is here in a business capacity, but since Randy Orton cannot get it into his head what legends should mean and how they have paved the way and wants to call him out, he will accept Orton's challenge.

After the commercial break, Sheamus and Keith Lee are at each other's throats again, which leads to a one-on-one match.

Keith Lee beats Sheamus despite Sheamus targeting Lee's left arm during the match. After the match, Sheamus rejects Keith Lee's fist bump attempt and hugs him in a show of respect.

We hear from Drew McIntyre, who tells Goldberg that he let him and his legacy down by putting words in his mouth and that he only challenged him because the WWE Championship eluded him in his career. McIntyre says he did not want to accept his challenge, but that changed after Goldberg put his hands on him, and at Royal Rumble, Goldberg is next.

Heyman says that WrestleMania 32 is coming up, and he asks Ambrose to stop provoking Lesnar or he won't make it to WrestleMania and Lesnar won't have an opponent that night. Ambrose says Lesnar is willing to fight him right now, then Heyman hypes up Ambrose vs. Lesnar before cutting the promo short. Heyman leaves, but Lesnar approaches the ring. Ambrose pulls out a crowbar as Heyman catches up with Lesnar. Lesnar circles the ring, then goes at Ambrose, who quickly swings the crowbar. Lesnar thinks twice and retreats.

He gloats over his victory against Dean Ambrose last night, saying hope is not a strategy and that hope is how everyone lives out their lives as he makes fun of the crowd about how they hope and hope and then blame people when something doesn't go their way and they head home a failure, complaining but never doing anything about it. He then says that Roman Reigns will not take the WWE World Heavyweight Championship from him at WrestleMania 32, then Dolph Ziggler shows up. He says his place is in the ring, but Stephanie refuses to take him seriously. Ziggler, having had enough of Triple H calling everyone failures, says he will not quit coming to work, and says people like him and Ambrose were screwed by the system...The Authority's system. Stephanie considers firing Ziggler, but Triple H implies that Dolph Ziggler would be great if they sided with him. Ziggler refuses, calling Steph "idiotic."

When Foley asks why he's doing it, Ambrose asks Foley if he was afraid at the top of that cage and asks him why he kept going. Mick says he did because he was Mick Foley, and that's what he did. Ambrose then says he's provoking Lesnar because he's Dean Ambrose. Foley then tells Ambrose to take Lesnar for an historical trip at WrestleMania 32, and replaces the crowbar with a gift, calling it "a passing of the torch." Ambrose reaches inside to reveal the gift that keeps on giving: the barbed wire bat.

Triple H beats Dolph Ziggler. After the match, Roman Reigns shows up at the entrance ramp and brawls with Triple H as Stephanie McMahon runs away.

He also says that he wil be standing proud and gloating, and exclaims that the best part is that he doesn't have to lay a finger on him as The Undertaker will do it for him. The Undertaker shows up. Vinec tells him not to lay his hands on him ever again, and apologizes for getting The Undertaker angry at him a couple of weeks ago. Vince says that The Undertaker won't mind completely destroying Shane McMahon, saying that while it may be called an unholy alliance, he calls it what's best for business. Shane McMahon shows up, and says Vince isn't what's best for business anymore. Shane says he's got The Undertaker figured out, saying that 'Taker won't be able to hit him due to his speed, that his body will be a 230-pound weapon, and that he has a lot of heart. 'Taker says it still won't be enough, as he still has his fists, and his fists are his legacy. Shane knows this and says he's surprised 'Taker is Vince's "puppet," but 'Taker says nobody controls him. Shane sees it differently, being Vince's son, and calls 'Taker "Vince's bitch." The Undertaker destroys Shane for that comment, and he almost goes after Vince McMahon. Vince McMahon and The Undertaker then stare at each other across the entrance ramp to end the show.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for April 13, 2000

Before the next match, Eddie Guerrero hands Chyna a glass vase full of roses, then says that as a true European Champion from Europe, it would be a disgrace to the European Championship if it were to fall into the hands of an islander from Samoa. He asks if anyone knows where Samoa is, then tells Chyna that while Rikishi may have the biggest ass in the world, he has the biggest supply of Latino heat in the world.

Rikishi Phatu beats Eddie Guerrero by disqualification, and Eddie Guerrero retains the WWF European Championship. During the match, Rikishi inadvertently elbows referee Mike Chioda in the face, and while Chioda is down, Chyna counters a potential Banzai Drop onto Eddie by smashing the vase of roses into Rikishi's face. Rikishi manages to kick out at two afterwards, however. Later in the match, Chyna tries to hit RIkishi with a low blow from behind only for Rikishi to notice her. Eddie drop kicks Rikishi, but Rikishi squashes Chyna in the corner. Rikishi lays the Stinkface on Chyna, and when he goes for a spike piledriver on Eddie, Chyna hits Rikishi with a low blow to end the match.

Backstage, Triple H is feeding WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley grapes when WWF co-owner Shane McMahon and Triple H agree that last Monday night was pretty fun and that they can do more of the same if anyone gets in their way tonight. Shane proposes they go out and have even more fun than they did on Raw, and Stephanie says they should make WWF Chairman Vince McMahon - who is not here tonight - proud. Suddenly, The Rock is seen entering the arena with his head bandaged, and Triple H responds by saying "Let the games begin."

Triple H and WWF co-owners Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley and Shane McMahon show up. Shane recaps the events of last Monday's Raw and says that Triple H was true to his word when he said he would turn it up a notch by having The Rock lay at their feet "with the lifeblood of The Rock's blood oozing onto the mat." Shane tells Triple H that was a proud moment, and congratulates Triple H while saying he is proud is WWF Champion. He also says that he is proud that Triple H is his brother-in-law. Stephanie says Triple H and Shane get her so choked up, and says they are going to make her cry as she is emotional just like WWF Chairman Vince McMahon. She knows Vince is watching at home right now, and while she knows he wanted to keep this as a surprise, she announces that when Triple H defends the WWF Championship against The Rock, Vince is going to be in Triple H's corner. Triple H says he is both honored and flattered that Vince would do that, but he does not want Vince coming in thinking he can steal his thunder, as he wants to do this his own. Nevertheless, Vince can be in his corner with a front row seat to the match. Triple H then says he gave The Rock a lesson in what it takes to be a real WWF Champion and to be the best on Raw, and says it takes a lot of sweat, a lot of tears, and "a whole lot of [The Rock's] blood." He tells The Rock that if he keeps coming back, he will keep teaching him that same lesson, and if it takes him a million times, he will teach him that lesson over and over. He then says it does not matter how much sweat comes out of his body, how many tears comes from his eyes and how much blood pumps out of his body, it will all be for nothing, as he will never be WWF Champion because he cannot beat him. Suddenly, The Rock shows up, and Triple H tells The Rock that he knows he is in front of his home state to talk about his chance at becoming WWF Champion, and says he has thought long and hard about when and where to give him his shot. He admits that Tampa, Florida would be "a hell of a place," but then says the match is so big that they might as well make it a bigger place because the match is so important. He then proposes they do it in Washington, D.C. - the site of Backlash in three weeks. The Rock says that Triple H did it all to him on Monday night and left him laying in a pool of his own blood and barely able to stand, but as sure as Triple H is "surrounded by a silver spoon jackass and by a bargain basement bitch," he walked out with his shot at the WWF Championship. He tells Triple, Shane and Stephanie to bring on Vince McMahon, and since they will be in Washington, D.C., they might as well bring on Congress, the Senate, the Vice President, the President, and even a dug-up George Washington., as there is nobody who will be able to stop him from whipping Triple H's candy ass. Triple H says The Rock is full of himself for somebody who lost half his blood on Monday night, and says that The Rock isn't even at 60 to 70% of his best right nowHe then says it does not really matter what percentage he is at, because tonight, it will be the two of them. Shane whispers something in Triple H's ear, then Triple H tells The Rock it will not be for the WWF Championship. He then tells The Rock to round up The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw) and bring them to the ring with him while he brings The Big Boss Man and Bull Buchanan for a six-man tag team match. The Rock asks Triple H if this is the best he can come up with, then tells him it doesn't matter because at Backlash, he promises to the people that he will whip Triple H's candy ass and walk out WWF Champion.

We see footage from earlier today where Al Snow and "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman head to a nursing home, where Blackman finds out that he has to perform stand-up comedy.

After the match, Tazz runs into the ring with referee Jimmy Korderas in tow, and smashes the cookie sheet into Saturn's head to win the Hardcore Championship from Saturn. Crash then grabs the cookie sheet and smashes it into Tazz's head, and wins the WWF Hardcore Championship back from Tazz. Saturn and Tazz then go at it, and referees have to run in to restore order.

Back at the nursing home in footage from earlier today, Al Snow is the only person laughing as Blackman does not have the chops for stand-up comedy.

Before the next match, Kurt Angle says that tonight, his quest to reacquire championship gold has come to an end, as he the has the one partner guaranteed to bring home the tag team titles in Big Show. When Big Show arrives, however, he arrives to "Rowdy" Roddy Piper's music in a kilt and a beret, eating a donut and drinking bottled water. Backstage, Triple H and WWF co-owner Shane McMahon laugh it up. Angle asks Big Show what he is doing, and Big Show speaks in a Scottish accent as he says he is trying to have a little fun. Angle says he is here to win championship gold, but Show says that while he is here for championship gold, he is also here to show everyone what is underneath his kilt. Angle tries to persuade him not to do it as there are children present, then the next match begins.

Edge and Christian retain the WWF Tag Team Championships against Big Show and Kurt Angle by count-out after Kurt Angle slaps Big Show for not taking the match seriously only for Big Show to beat him up outside of the ring.

Backstage near a water cooler, Chris Jericho asks Tori and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley where The Godather is. Jericho walks away when he finds out he is talking to Tori and Stephanie and not two of The Godfather's hos.

Buh Buh Ray Dudley beats Albert. After the match, Test attacks D-Von Dudley, then Trish Stratus pulls a table out from underneath the ring. Test sets the table up in the middle of the ring, while D-Von Dudldey grabs a steel chair and smashes it into Test's back before he can put Buh Buh Ray through the table. After a steel chair head shot to Albert, Buh Buh Ray splashes Albert through the table from the top rope.

In the locker room, Chris Jericho apologize to Tori and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley. Stephanie wishes Chris Jericho luck in his match against X-Pac tonight, then tells him that he will also be facing "Road Dogg" Jesse James during that match, effectively making Jericho's match a 2-on-1 handicap match.

Wade Boggs of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays is seen in the front row.

We see more footage from earlier today of "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman's attempts at stand-up comedy at the nursing home. After telling a woman who says he sucks at stand-up that her mother is so hairy that Bigfoot takes pictures of her, the woman responds by saying "My mother died in '64...you heartless bitch!" Blackman finally snaps and pulls out his nunchaku, much to the disappointment of Al Snow.

The Kat and Mae Young beat Terri Runnels and The Fabulous Moolah.

Before the next match, Chris Jericho welcomes everyone to "Tampa is Jericho," then says that he has seemingly insulted WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley when he mistake her for one of The Godfather's ho. He says that he was going to apologize in the ring, but since he has been put in a 2-on-1 handicap match and is about to be screwed anyway, he might as well get his money's worth. He then says that The Rock and all the Jerichoholics were correct in calling Stephanie a "bargain basement bitch." Jericho then calls Stephanie "the filthiest, dirtiest, most disgusting, skankiest, brutal, bottom-feeding trash bag ho" that he has ever seen in his life while Stephanie and Triple H watch from backstage.

D-Generation X (X-Pac and "Road Dogg" Jesse James) beat Chris Jericho in a 2-on-1 handicap match.

Backstage, WWF co-owner Shane McMahon chews out referee Earl Hebner and threatens to fire him from last week while Triple H watches. Triple H stops Shane and puts him on probation, and tells him that if he screws up again, he is fired.

We see footage from earlier today where Al Snow and "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman are leaving the nursing home. Al Snow tells Blackman he cannot go around hitting elderly people with his nunchaku, but Blackman says "She annoyed me."

WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley shows up with her friend from earlier. Stephanie says she understands how hard it is for the fans to look at the WWF Superstars and their hard bodies, and says it is a lot tougher for them to look out at all of the fans. She and her friend call the fans "fat, lazy, cellulite-ridden people," and says that they make her sick. Stephanie says she represents not only all the women out there, but also all the men "and your fat kids, too." Stephanie then decides to do a public service, and introduces her friend, who happens to be her personal trainer - and now the fans' - Muffy. As this goes on, The Rock asks The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw) backstage if they are man enough to tell him whether or not Triple H bought them off, but Faarooq tells them they are man enough to not tell him anything and Bradshaw says he is just going to have to trust them.

Triple H, The Big Boss and Bull Buchanan vs. The Rock and The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw) ends in a no-contest. During the match, referee Earl Hebner shoves Triple H out of the corner as he is taking the boots to Faarooq, and WWF co-owner Shane McMahon confronts Hebner from the apron and verbally berates him. Hebner responds by pushing Shane off the apron before making it clear to Triple H that he is the referee of the match and will be calling it right down the middle. Later on in the match, X-Pac and "Road Dogg" Jesse James get involved but The Acolytes fight them and get them out of the ring, leaving The Rock and Triple H by themselves in the ring. The Rock hits the spinebuster on Triple H, but when Shane hits The Rock from behind, The Rock chases Shane to the commentary table and puts him through it to end the show.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for April 10, 2000

RAW

The Rock shows up to start tonight's show. He shows footage from last Thursday's SmackDown main event, where The Rock got his hands on WWF Chairman Vince McMahon and hitting him in the head with a steel chair, and says there is still one more shot that he wants Vince to see and remember forever: Vince laid out on the entrance ramp with The Rock's boot on his chest. He says that after all the humiliation he has put Vince and his children through, he still wants more. Tonight, he wants his shot at the WWF Championship in the place that he calls home. Suddenly, Vince shows up with a steel chair, and The Rock says one of three things will happen: Vince putting the chair down, Vince will attempt to hit him with the chair, and The Rock will turn the chair sideways and stick it straight up his candy ass. Vince says he will put the chair down, but if he makes one move towards him, he will hit him in the head so hard his brains will be crushed papaya. As for The Rock's shot at the WWF Championship tonight, The Rock will be given an opportunity, and should be be victorious against opposition to be named later tonight, he will get his shot at the title. He then points at the ceiling, and a steel cage comes down. The Rock must win a steel cage match in order to get his shot at the WWF Championship, but Vince makes it clear that he is not giving any more gifts and that The Rock must earn everything he gets. Vince then says that somewhere deep down, The Rock is wondering who he is and why he is who he is, and reminds The Rock that he made him who he is over a year ago. He reminds The Rock of his time as the "corporate champion," and admits that while The Rock would have been a star without him, he would never have been a superstar, and he would have been relegated to playing Doink the Clown, the Gobbledygooker or a Bastion Booger. Instead, thanks to him, The Rock became a superstar, became a guest host for Saturday Night Live, became a guest on The Tonight Show, got offers for television shows and movie and even had a best-selling book. Vince then says he was looking for one thing from The Rock and never got it, and that one thing was The Rock looking him in the eye and giving him a "thank you." Vince then places his hand on The Rock's shoulder, then removes it, and says that he chose WrestleMania to humiliate him and remind him of who he is. When The Rock asks Vince if that is what he thinks, and Vince calls The Rock "a complete ingrate." The Rock then tells Vince he "wipes a monkey's ass" with what he thinks, and Vince wants to know what is up with "wiping a monkey's ass" and "licking a llama's anus," and says it is strange thinking and a fixation for the rectal cavity that is not normal, as well as a fixation for feces. He then says that if The Rock took all the feces from the people in a 24-hour period and put it in one giant pizza oven, then everyone would be able to smell what The Rock is cooking.

Layin' da SmackDown - SmackDown recap for March 16, 2000

Big Show and WWF co-owner Shane McMahon show up to start tonight's show. Shane says that the fans think he got what was coming to him on Raw and that it was perfectly acceptable for WWF chairman Vince McMahon to get in his business, knock him down to the mat and strike him with a steel chair. He then says it is not acceptable, as it goes against the moral code of society for any father to take that kind of action as parental abuse is against the law. He also says it is unnatural for Big Show not to go to WrestleMania to compete for the WWF Championship; therefore, he will. We see footage of The Rock's stipulations for Big Show and The Rock's match from Raw, and there is no stipulation stating that if Big Show lost, he would not go on to the WWF Championship match at WrestleMania. Shane then says it is his duty to inform the fans that the match for the WWF Championship at WrestleMania will be a Triple Threat Match between The Rock, Big Show and Triple H. Big Show then assures that with Shane McMahon in his corner, he is very confident that he will emerge from WrestleMania victorious. Suddenly, Triple H and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley show up, and Big Show tells Triple H that at WrestleMania, he will once again become WWF Champion. Triple H asks Shane who he thinks he is walking out to the ring and talking about crimes against nature, and says there is no crime, saying that if Big Show is involved, it is a freak of nature. Triple H says that if he loses the WWF Championship to Big Show or The Rock, that would be a natural disaster, but he can see what Shane is doing a mile away and he is not pulling a fast one as Shane knows that Big Show and The Rock cannot beat him; however, in a Triple Threat Match, nobody has to pin him to become champion. Triple H then tells Shane that if he wants a Triple Threat Match, he's got it, as Big Show and The Rock are not going to win and that he will win because he is that damn good. Stephanie then tells Shane that if he will be in Big Show, then she will be in Triple H's corner and that there is nothing Shane can do about it as she has just enough power as he does. Shane then says he hasn't forgotten that she acts and looks like a cheap slut, but does not say "slut" until Stephanie tells Shane "You wouldn't dare say that again." When he does, Stephanie tries to slap him again, but Shane blocks it. Triple H shoves Shane, then Big Show gets in Triple H's face. Suddenly, WWF Chairman Vince McMahon shows up and says Shane and Stephanie make him proud as a father, and says watching them jockey for power every week is like watching a bad soap opera. He then tells them to book themselves on The Jerry Springer Show and get it over with, and to think about their collective accomplishments in the last few months, as they have driven one of the greatest WWF Superstars in history in Mick Foley out of the World Wrestling Federation. He then says that is not good for business, as they also almost drove The Rock out of the World Wrestling Federation, which he says is "damn sure not good for business." Vince then says their public display of "bickering, bitching, moaning, kvetching, moaning, groaning" is not good for business, either, and that is why he has elected to come back and take control of the reins of power in the WWF again before they screw it up for good. Therefore, since Shane insists on being in Big Show's corner at WrestleMania and Stephanie insists on doing the same for Triple H, then he might as well make this a family affair. He then announces he will be in The Rock's corner at WrestleMania, then says "Now that's good for business!" Shane then makes a match between The Rock and Kane for tonight, then Stephanie makes a match between Big Show and Rikishi. Vince then decides to put Triple H in a non-title match against "someone Stephanie McMahon is very comfortable with" and someone Stephanie has something in common with: The Godfather. Vince then says that Stephanie might even get lucky tonight, as she might take a ride on the Ho Train.

The Dudley Boyz (Buh Buh Ray and D-Von Dudley) retain the WWF Tag Team Championships against Edge and Christian. During the match, D-Von pushes Christian into referee Tim White, then Christian dodges out of the way of a forearm meant for him, and D-Von inadvertently knocks Tim White out. Christian plants D-Von with the Implaler, then Terri Runnels places a steel chair into the ring. Buh Buh Ray grabs it, but Christian drop kicks Buh Buh Ray in the back, knocking the chair out of his hands. The Dudleys still manage to hit the Dudley Death Drop to retain the tag team titles. After the match, The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy) grab Terri Runnels and toss her into the ring with Edge and Christian, who immediately confront her. Edge and Christian leave, but before Edge leaves, he turns around and hits Terri with a Spear after seeing her do her "devil horns" taunt at them.

Backstage, WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley glances a dirty look at The Godfather's hos.

He then says that tonight, the fans not only have one hero to look up to and cheer for, but two, as Bob Backlund is with him. Backlund then says he stopped wrestling because of the "voluminous cavity" that the fans have fallen into, and says that "Mr. Ingles" will bring them out of that cavity and put morality back into their lives. Suddenly, Chris Jericho and Chyna show up, and Jericho tells all the Jerichoholics here tonight that tonight is a very special occasion, as the two biggest nerds in all of America are standing in the ring. Jericho admits that he wants to ram his fist up Backland's backside and use him as a ventriloquist dummy. After making fun of Backlund, Jericho tells Backlund he will procure a rapacious incursion courtesy of Y2J. Tazz then shows up and tells Angle and Backlund that someone is going to get choked out, and there are only two things they can do: nothing and like it.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for February 28, 2000

RAW

Triple H and WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley show up to start tonight's show. Triple H says he should be basking in the glory of the greatest match of his life and savoring the moment, but he just cannot do it. Last night, he and Mick Foley almost destroyed each other, and a month ago in tonight's venue, they almost destroyed each other then. He says that if there is one thing he has learned in that time, it is that he has more respect for Cactus Jack than anyone else in his life. Stephanie is surprised to hear this, and Triple H has to tell her "it's a guys' thing." He pays respect to Mick Foley as he has respect for him, and that he knows the fans feel the same way. As a tribute to Foley, he has had the guys in production put together a video package that will chronicle his career, and asks the production crew to roll the footage. Footage of a tribute to Mick Foley plays, then the D-Generation X theme interspersed with humiliating footage of Foley starts playing. Stephanie and Triple H then laugh, and after the footage is over, Triple H says that the WWF will not be the same without Foley; instead, it will be a million times better. Stephanie tells Foley he has a lot to look forward to; instead of being a fat, smelly, disgusting loser, he can be a fat, smelly, disgusting, retired loser, all thanks to Triple H. All of a sudden, WWF co-owner Shane McMahon and Big Show appear, and Shane tells Stephanie that just because Stephanie shattered their father's heart and drove him out of the WWF does not mean he will sit by and let that idly happen. He says that Stephanie has driven WWF into a completely different business, and he is not going to sit back and let that happen as he has been waiting for his spot and align himself with the right individual at the right time. Now that lightning bolt has struck, and he is going to align with a champion other than Triple H - whom he says goes to the beat of his drum and has his own agenda - and The Rock: Big Show, who he says will snap a man's back in seconds and become the future WWF Champion. The Rock shows up, then congratulates everyone in the ring for being "the being the biggest group of assholes The Rock has ever seen." Last night, Big Show beat him, but unlike him, The Rock says he will not bitch, whine, moan or complain as he is still going to WrestleMania and become the WWF Champion. Triple H tells The Rock to get out of his and Big Show's business, and calls him an also-ran and a has-been in the process; he also tells him to go back down to the bottom of the ladder, both figuratively and literally, when he goes one-on-one with The Brooklyn Brawler. He then mocks The Rock's catchphrase, changing it to "If you smell what The Game is playin'," then Shane tells The Rock that he has no chance in Hell of becoming #1 contender for the WWF Championship.

Backstage, The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy) confront The Acolytes (Faarooq and Bradshaw) for their actions at No Way Out, and challenge them to a match, but Faarooq tells them to go away. The Hardys then topple the poker table and run.

Backstage, Kurt Angle is seen boring an arena employee over the WWF Intercontinental Championship being five ounces heavier than the WWF European Championship.

Before the next match, Kurt Angle says that unlike Daryl Strawberry, the only thing he is addicted to is capturing championships. Tonight, he is willing to put the European Championship on the line against anyone who will accept his challenge. As a man of integrity, any wrestler in the locker room is more than welcome to take "the Olympic challenge." The challenge is answered by Rikishi Phatu.

Rikishi Phatu beats Kurt Angle by count-out after Kurt Angle runs away from the match and says that the people came to see wrestling, not Rikish's butt in his face. Kurt Angle retains the WWF European Championship. Before Angle can leave, Chris Jericho and Chyna show up, and Jericho says that while Rikishi may have a giant ass, Angle himself is a giant ass, and he and Chyna would liike to see Rikishi give him the Stinkface one more time. Jericho sends Angle backwards into the ring, and Rikishi hits Angle with a spike driver before dragging him into the corner to hit the Banzai Drop. The Radicalz (Chris Benoit, Perry Saturn, Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero)then show up and gang up on Jericho, Chyna and Rikishi, then Too Cool (Grandmaster Sexay and Scotty 2 Hotty) rush in and fight off The Radicalz, sending them running along with Kurt Angle. Too Cool stop Jericho and Angle and place the sunglasses them, and they, Too Cool and Rikishi dance.

Before the next match, Terri Runnels shows up with a black bag in her hands. She then guests on commentary for the next match. Al Snow then shows up and says that nobody knows better than he does that one needs a personality to get over with the fans as well as an entrance that captures that personality as well as the imagination. He then brings out "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman to theme music that has women in the background singing "He's got it," much to Blackman's chagrin.

Edge and Christian beat Al Snow and "The Lethal Weapon" Steve Blackman. During the match, Terri Runnels says that she turned on The Hardy Boyz (Jeff and Matt Hardy) because they only visited her in the hospital twice. Later in the match, Terri pulls a large foam cheese hat on her head after pulling it out of the black bag, distracting Blackman and giving Edge and Christian the win.

The Rock quickly beats The Brooklyn Brawler. After the match, The Rock tells Triple H that he thinks he must be cute putting him in a match against The Brooklyn Brawler, but he does not feel like leaving New York City, New York. He tells Triple H to get in the ring so he can kick his candy-ass. Triple H shows up, with WWF co-owner Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley trying to restrain him. Shortly after that, WWF co-owner Shane McMahon shows up with Big Show and warns Triple H not to get in the ring so that The Rock can goad him into defend the WWF Championship against him again. He insists that the WWF Championship will be defended against Big Show at WrestleMania, but The Rock says that if this is how it will be, then WrestleMania will absolutely suck. Shane then has a conference with Big Show, Stephanie and Triple H on the ramp, and Stephanie tells The Rock that he has one last chance. If The Rock can pin either Big Show or Triple H in a 2-on-1 handicap match tonight, he can get his shot at the WWF Championship at WrestleMania. Shane hates this idea, but Triple H tells The Rock that if he cannot win, this is his last chance. The Rock accepts the challenge and says he will kick their candy-asses.

Gunn takes exception to this and wants in on the action, even though one of his arms is in a sling, and gets in Triple H's face in the process. Triple H forearms Billy Gunn, and he, X-Pac and Road Dogg beat him and toss him out of the room.

During the match, Eddie Guerrero is ejected from the match for interference by referee Tim White, but Prince Albert and The Big Boss Man soon show up and fight Tazz. Even after Tazz tries to fight back following both Albert and Boss Man stomping him as Benoit has him in a German suplex, Albert and Boss Man get the better of him. Boss Man then says that Tazz sucks as badly as New York City, New York does, and says the mood is about to change as referees and officials check on Tazz.

They find him in a car with a baseball bat in his hand, insisting that he is getting some fresh air as he tells them that they have a tag team match with The New Age Outlaws ("Road Dogg" Jesse James and "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) that they need to get ready for.

Before the next match, Kurt Angle states that the Olympic creed dictates that it does not matter whether you win or lose, but whether or not you participate in the Olympics. Angle says he has a problem with that quote, as he qualified for the Olympics to only win gold for himself and for his country. However, some did not exactly pull through, and he will not name any names, even though he is clearly referring to "Sexual Chocolate" Mark Henry. He then asks the crowd to cheer for him, and not the man who stayed out all night in a topless bar the night before he competed and finished 18th place. The crowd starts cheering as Mark Henry seems to be proud of that fact, and Kurt Angle says that if Mark had followed his "3 I's" - Intensity, Integiry and Intelligence - he would have placed first and not dead last. This anger Mark Henry, who attacks Angle to start the match.

Chris Jericho then shows up and says that as a hero and role model for all the Jerichoholics around the world with all the qualifications to become a WWF Intercontinental Champion, his image is tarnished by stepping into the ring with "a piece of crap" like The Godfather who is surrounded by "these brutally ugly pigs" that he calls hos. As he demands that the hos be removed from ringside, The Godfather hits Jericho with a cheap shot from behind, starting the next match. It is then announced by Jim Ross that he heard that police have been called to the arena.

Chris Jericho beats The Godfather despite all the hos helping The Godfather at ringside.

RAW

D-Generation X (Triple H, X-Pac, "Road Dogg" Jesse James, "Bad Ass" Billy Gunn) show up to start tonight's show. For the benefit of those who did not watch Survivor Series last night, Triple H gets the fans up to speed on what happened involving the WWF Championship, saying some thievery took place and a crime was committed, and his property was stolen. He was not beaten for the WWF Championship; rather, it was stolen from him. He has been a thorn in WWF Chairman Vince McMahon's side since he won the title, and says he cannot live wit the fact that he was WWF Champion. As a result, he tried to do everything in his power to take it from him, even putting himself and his own family in the ring against him; making special guest referees, timekeepers and enforcers; and pitting him against multiple men. He could not get the job done, however, as he was that damn good. He then accuses Vince McMahon of committing a crime and stealing the title from him, and tonight, DX will be his judge, jury and executioner and he will pay for his crime starting now. Triple H then calls Vince out, and Vince shows up. Vince says Triple H seems upset, and he agrees with Triple when he says people should pay for their crimes, and says the same is true for D-Generation X after what happened involving "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, saying that Road Dogg will really know what doggy style is all about and that X-Pac and Billy Gunn should also be worried about going to jail, given their names.
