RAW is WAR 28/9/1998
RAW is WAR was live at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan. Vince McMahon was in the ring, doing a promo on what happened last night at Breakdown and had just finished when...
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
A bell begins tolling after the wolf howl as Jim Johnston's Dark Side starts up. Fire goes off at the entrance and the lights change to dark red and dark blue as the Bladewolf walks out to a loud pop. Vince looked terrified a little as the Intercontinental Champion makes his way down the ramp towards the ring. He gets onto the ring apron and enters the ring through the middle rope, his theme dying down afterwards.
Bladewolf grabs a microphone and stands across from Vince. "Vince, I see you're enjoying yourself after my brothers and I beat Austin last night, but there isn't a clear winner here. My brothers and I pinned Austin but who's the WWF Champion? So, you plan to reveal who the WWF Champion is later tonight. But, you forgot one little problem you seem to keep forgetting. I want my rematch for the WWF title, I still have my rematch clause." The crowd cheered and Bladewolf waited for it to die down before he continued. "You didn't want me to be WWF Champion because I don't follow your rules or that I'm not part of the plan. You want someone that represents your vision of a corporate businessman. Like I told you, you buy what you get, what you see with me is what you get and I made myself to be the most feared and dominant wrestler in the WWF and I deserve to be in the world title picture. Sure you gave me the Intercontinental Championship but that doesn't help the fact that you screwed me out of my rematch and I'm not leaving until I get what I rightfully deserve."
"Is he serious?" Jerry Lawler asks. "He can't demand things from the boss!"
"I don't think he cares if he's the boss, King." JR says.
"Yes, you're right." Vince nods. "I haven't given you your rematch that you have a right to. But there's a system in place that determines who gets their shot at the World Wrestling Federation Championship and these take time. You will get your rematch for the world title, you'll just have to be patient."
Bladewolf is frustrated at this point. "Even your so called "patience" has a limit and mine is on the very edge of the breaking point. If you don't give me my rematch right now, even God won't save you from the hell that I'll unleash upon your damned soul." He growls.
Vince, trying to calm the tension decides to give Bladewolf a deal. "I'll tell you what, I'm holding a ceremony to crown the new WWF Champion to either Undertaker or Kane and I'll need some extra security should Austin have second thoughts of ruining the ceremony. If you can protect me from what Austin has planned, you'll get your rematch against either Undertaker or Kane at Judgement Day, you have my word as a businessman and a McMahon."
Bladewolf thinks hard on this and gives his answer. "I'll hold you to your "word" that I'll get my rematch." He then grabs Vince by his neck to a pop from the crowd as Vince looked terrified. "But, if you screw me out of my rematch again, then your face won't be the only thing that's broken."
Bladewolf drops the microphone and leaves the ring as his theme starts up and he heads up the ramp to the back now that his message had been sent to Vince. It was clear he was pissed at how last night ended...
Later
RAW returned from commercial break to show police officers and cars at the arena's parking lot awaiting the arrival of Stone Cold Steve Austin should he show up.
"We are back live here in Detroit, Ladies and Gentlemen." JR said. "A lot of tension surrounding the arena and surrounding this event here tonight as Mr. McMahon has his welcoming committee, Detroit's finest, surrounding the Joe Lewis Arena and himself."
"Ladies and Gentlemen the owner of the WWF...MR MCMAHON!" Tony Chimel announced as Vince was seen walking down towards the ring with security. Bladewolf was there as well but it was clear he did not like being Vince's guard dog.
Once Vince was in the ring with his security, he stood behind the podium holding the previous WWF Championship design and got a microphone. "And now Ladies and Gentlemen, the moment we have been awaiting. We are about to present the most coveted prize in the whole game to a worthy WWF Superstar. This ceremony is a solemn one. To be conducted with dignity and respect as we stand before you, tonight. It is indeed our honour and our privilege to bestow the World Wrestling Federation Title to the worthy superstar. With that in mind, let me firstly introduce to you...The Phenom the Undertaker!"
Undertaker's theme beings playing and soon the Undertaker walks out and makes his way down towards the ring. He walks up the steps and makes the lights change to normal before entering the ring, standing on one side of the podium. Undertaker and Bladewolf stare each other down before their attention went to Vince as he speaks again.
"And now Ladies and Gentlemen...may I introduce to you...KANE!"
The lights go out and Kane's theme starts up before the stage pyro goes off and Kane walks out, making his way towards the ring. Kane gets onto the ring apron and climbs over the top rope. raising his arms before throwing them down but there is no explosion as the red light goes to normal, showing Kane was messing with everyone and faked them out.
Kane's theme dies down and Vince speaks again. "Thank you. There's no question, Undertaker, that both you and Kane deserve to be the World Wrestling Federation Champion. The two of you single-handily covered Stone Cold Steve Austin for the Championship. The two of you who have had tremendous battles and-" Vince stopped when Austin was showing entering the arena...driving a Zamboni. "What the hell?!"
"There's Austin!" JR said.
"Wait a minute!" Jerry exclaims as the police try to stop Austin but he went past them.
"Don't let him in here!" Vince orders.
"Austin's coming to the arena!" JR said.
Austin drives the Zamboni into the arena and heads straight for the ring, gets to his feet before he runs across the Zamboni...AND TACKLES VINCE MCMAHON!
"AUSTIN'S GOT MCMAHON!" JR shouts.
"GET HIM! GET HIM!" Jerry shouts at the police and security Bladewolf, the Undertaker, and Kane had left the ring and were standing side by side, watching this happening
The police cuff Austin after pulling him off Vince. Bladewolf, Kane, and Undertaker get back into the ring and watch on as Austin is pulled out the ring and dragged to the back where a police car is waiting.
"I ain't through with you, Vince!" Austin yelled. "I ain't through with you! Not yet by a long shot!"
Later
After what happened, RAW went to commercial and when it came back, Vince was shown in the ring with Bladewolf, Kane, and the Undertaker. Vince was continuing the WWF Championship award ceremony.
"I'm about to present the WWF Championship." Vince began. "However if you recall the deal was, Undertaker, Bladewolf and Kane, you would get the title shot as long as you kept Stone Cold Steve Austin away from me! But three times! Three times in less than a week Austin has brutally attacked me!"
"That's right!" Jerry says, sucking up as usual.
"So let me say this. you didn't live up to your end of the deal. I'm not gonna live up to mine!" Vince snarled.
"What?!" Jerry shouts.
"Your gonna have to fight for it!" Vince said, looking between the three brothers. "On the next PPV, October 18th, Undertaker, Kane, you two are going to battle it out for the WWF Championship!"
"That's at Judgement Day in three weeks." JR said,
"Whether you like it nor not!" Vince said. "And since you two can't seem to keep Austin out of your business and mine, I'm gonna put him in it! Austin is going to be the Special Guest Referee!" He looks at Bladewolf. "And as for you, Since you didn't hold on to your word, I ain't holding on to my word! You can keep waiting for your rematch until I say so, which will probably be never!"
Bladeowlf glares at Vince, and wouldn't attacked him had Undertaker not stropped him by putting his arm in front of Bladewolf.
"Austin!" Vince said, looking at the camera. "I just hope that somewhere, your cellmate is telling you all about this right now. Because I am going to be there to watch him suffer the indignity of having to count one of you two monsters to the WWF Championship. However, so that everyone in this arena is not cheated, so that everyone at home watching RAW gets their money's worth, then in this ring tonight, you will see Undertaker, Kane, and the Bladewolf in a Handicap match against 4 individuals."
"4?" JR asks.
"Ken Shamrock, Mankind, the Rock and Marc Mero!" Vince reveals. "And maybe, just maybe you can get it right tonight. I'd like to wish you the best of luck, you know why? Because I think the three of you are going to need it. Because as far as I'm concerned, it's like dealing with the handicapped!"
"Easy." JR warns.
"One's physical, one's mental, and the other is both and crazy." Vince insults them to their faces. "Good luck to you."
Vince goes to leave but Undertaker grabs him and grabs his microphone as Kane and Bladewolf surround Vince. "You need to watch your ass." Undertaker warns Vince. "Because the next time you get out of line with either of us...you're gonna be the one handicapped. And that I will promise."
"Mr. McMahon has been warned." JR said as the three brothers turn away from Vince who flips them off behind their backs but Bladewolf and Undertaker whirl around and see it.
"Uh oh!" Jerry says.
"Oh he got caught." JR said.
Undertaker lays Vince out with a hard right hand then unloads on Vince with hammering rights to the forehead. Undertaker then gets off Vince, allowing Bladewolf and Kane to start stomping away on Vince, to which Undertaker joins in. Bladewolf grabs Vince's left leg before driving his elbow into it, causing Vince to scream in pain.

Bladewolf shoing Vince onto the bottom half and makes sure he's laying on his back as Undertaker picks up the top half of the stee steps, lifts it up...BEFORE BRINGING IT DOWN ON VINCE'S LEFT ANKLE!
"OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD!" JR shouts.
The three brothers turn and leave the ringside area, heading to the back as Vince is tended to.
Later

After this, The Rock, Shamrock, and Mankind went at it and the referees tried to separate them when suddenly a bell tolled and the Undertaker's theme played. A wolf howl went off before pyro exploded on the stage and out comes the three brothers.
"Look at this!" JR exclaims. "All three brothers together as one."
The three brothers make their way down towards the ring, their eyes on the three men in the ring. Since Mero has been taken out of the match, it seems this match will be a six-man tag team match.
