We begin by finding Eric Bischoff standing center stage. He announces tonight's Main Event: Eric Bischoff vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin. But unlike No Way Out, tonight's match is going to be a Lumberjack Match. Oh, and the lumberjacks are going to be comprised of every single Superstar on the Raw roster. And if any of them don't want to be lumberjacks, they're fired. Bischoff has one last thing to say to Stone Cold: good luck.

The Raw music video plays, the pyros explode, and we are LIVE in Saint Louis, Missouri!

In the arena, World Heavyweight Champion Triple H comes to the ring, in wrestling attire even though he has no scheduled match. It's hard to be right all the time, but once again, he was right. He told the world that Booker T doesn't deserve to have a shot at the Title, and then Booker went and proved it last week. A Champion doesn't attack anyone from behind. That's why he is standing in the ring, waiting for Booker to come down and stand face-to-face. Booker is nothing but a common street thug.

Triple H must be feeling pretty confident right now, but deep down, in the cock-cock-cockles of his heart, he is weary.
