RAW is WAR: 5/3/2001

RAW is WAR was live at MCI Center in Washington, D.C.. Paul Heyman joined Jim Ross live from ringside at the announce table as Triple H and Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley came out to the center of the squared-circle. The Game, making his first appearance since his defeat at No Way Out, said it was tough to be humble when he continues to be as good as he is. He said that after he destroyed Austin, he said it was very difficult not to brag about his unprecedented skills! Triple H said that instead of bragging, he needed to right a wrong. He said that the Bladewolf said that the two biggest names in the business were going to be facing each other at WrestleMania. Triple H said that he has been kicking both Austin and Bladewolf all over arenas all across the country! Then, Triple H promised that he would be going on to WrestleMania, no matter what it took, even if he had to take someone out of the WrestleMania main event, and he called Stone Cold out to the ring!

The Texas Rattlesnake ran out to the ring and the two men exchanged blows. Then, Kurt Angle ran out and tried to take down Austin. Finally, Stone Cold hit the mat, and Angle and Triple H double-teamed him.

The crowd started cheering loudly when the Bladewolf came running down to the ring slides in... AND TAKES KURT ANGLE DOWN WITH A SPEAR!

"Bladewolf! A Spear to kurt Angle!" JR exclaimed.

"oh yeah!" Heyman shouted.

Bladewolf got to his feet as Triple H turns around only to be lifted up... AND HIT WITH THE FURY OF THE WOLF! Bladewolf jumped to his feet with a primal roar, beating his chest before he bumped into Austin, causing the two to whirl on each other and get right in each other's faces, their foreheads pressed together.

"Wait a minute!" Heyman said as Austin shoves Bladewolf back, only for the Badewolf to shove Austin back. "There's not gonna be any WrestleMania, they're gonna go at it right now!"

"The intensity, the tension!" JR nodded. "These two don't like each other."

Austin eventually backs off and so does Bladewolf, the two men leaving the ring but making sure to take different routs to the back as Kurt Angle and Triple H are checked on.

William Regal then came out to the ring as Kurt Angle demanded to face The Bladewolf on RAW! Regal said he had an announcement, and that Mr. McMahon had said Angle and Triple H would tag up against Austin and The Bladewolf! Regal then retreated to the locker room.

As Too Cool came to the ring for their match, Kurt Angle remained at ringside! As Scotty and Grandmaster were being introduced, Angle attacked them both and locked Scotty 2 Hotty in the ankle-lock! Angle continued a verbal tirade as Scotty screamed in pain in the center of the ring!

Earlier in the day, Mr. McMahon told the Radicalz that one of them could challenge Chris Jericho. In their locker room, Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero wanted the other man to face Jericho. Finally, Benoit convinced Eddie that it should be Latino Heat fighting Jericho. Before the match began, Benoit joined Paul Heyman and J.R. at the announce table. Benoit put on a headset, but did not say a word. Guerrero and Jericho went at it in a hard-fought match, but after Guerrero had Jericho down, Benoit got in the ring and hit Guerrero with his flying head-butt! Guerrero lie prone in the ring as Jericho made the cover for the win! After the match, Dean Malenko and Perry Saturn came to the ring and asked Benoit what he was doing.

In footage taped earlier in the day, Al Snow campaigned for the commissioner's job.

Joining him were two midgets, as he had promised he would provide if he became commissioner!

As Matt and Jeff Hardy discussed what they were going to do in their match later, Lita came up to the boys and said she was heading to the ring for her title match against Ivory. Matt said they weren't letting her go to the ring alone, and he convinced Jeff to go with him and Lita for her match. During the match, the Hardyz mixed it up with Steven and Val, and as Jeff Hardy went to hit Val, he accidentally took out Lita! Ivory then dragged Lita back in the ring, where she made the pin to retain her title!

As Kurt Angle prepared for his match, Kevin Kelly asked him why he went off on Scotty 2 Hotty. Angle said he heard a snap when he grabbed Scotty's ankle, and he was sure it was broken. Kurt said that he was sending a message, and that was that he was not going to be everyone's whipping boy! Angle said that The Bladewolf, Stone Cold, and even Triple H had better watch out, because he wasn't going to take it anymore!

In a hellacious tag team match, Undertaker and Kane took on Haku and Rikishi. The battle began on the rampway, where the Dead Man and Kane met Rikishi and Haku. Finally, the match began when Undertaker and Haku made their way into the ring. Taker remained in the ring until the end of the match, where he pinned Haku after a chokeslam!

The Tag Team Titles were on the line as the Hardy Boys faced the Dudley Boys. The action was high-paced in the ring, and as Jeff Hardy got ready to hit a Swanton Bomb, Matt Hardy was thrown into the ropes, knocking his brother down! The match continued on, however, and both teams had several near pinfalls. As D-Von went to get a table, Christian smacked him with a chair, and the referee didn't see him! Jeff pulled D-Von back in the ring and covered him for the pin and the Tag Team Title win!

As William Regal and Mr. McMahon and William Regal discussed business, Al Snow came in with his "short" friends and demanded to be named commissioner! Vince said he would take Al's request under advisement, if he competed in the ring in a Hardcore Title match against the Big Show! After Al left, Regal asked Vince if he was really considering Al as commissioner. Vince just looked at William.

Christian then made a collect call to Edge and told him that "Operation: Get E&C Their Titles Back" was fully in progress!

As Vince and William continued their discussion, Lt. Commissioner Debra walked in to the room to resign from her post! She said that she wanted to go back to what she does best, and that was managing. Vince then said that her marriage to Stone Cold Steve Austin might cause a little problem with her managing. Vince then sent Debra to ask her husband what he thought of Debra's plan. As she left the room, Vince said to William, "She's hot!"

Debra then walked in to her husband's locker room, and when she said she had talked to Vince, Austin said she couldn't trust him! She said she wanted to go back to managing, and Austin told her that was all fine and well, and she could do what she wanted, but he wanted to talk about it later, because he was getting ready for his match.

In a Hardcore Title match made earlier by Mr. McMahon, Al Snow challenged Big Show. Before the match began, Al hid under the rampway. Al struggled to take down the monster, and Big Show brutalized him with vicious chops to his chest. The two men began pounding on each other with everything they could find, including a camera!

Al then lined up several chairs in the ring, but it was the Big Show who simply lifted Al and tossed him on top of them! Show pinned a broken Al for the win.

In Vince's office, he and Debra discussed her return to managing, and then Mr. McMahon wished her luck in her new endeavor.

Next up was the Main Event, Bladewolf and Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Kurt Angle and Triple H.

Before the match began, J.R. announced that Angle had indeed broken Scotty 2 Hotty's ankle earlier in the night. Also, before the match, Mr. McMahon came to the ring and introduced Debra. She came to the ring and told her that from now on, Debra would be managing The Bladewolf!

"And right now, I would like Trish Stratus to come out here please!" Vince then said. trish's theme hits and she comes out to the ring with a confused frown on her face, crossing her arms as she looks at Vince. "Trish, thank you for coming out here. I'll get straight to the point, Debra will be managing the Bladewolf while you will now be managing... Stone Cold Steve Austin!"

Trish's eyes widened as she and Debra looked to each other with looks, confused on what this was all about.

OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!

Dead Silent plays to a pop from the fans as a very pissed off Bladewolf walks out and makes his way down to the ring. Bladewolf slides into the ring and argues with Vince over this change, not liking this switch with his girlfriend for Austin's wife.

Stone Cold's theme hits and a pissed off Austin makes his way down to the ring, rolling into the ring and grabs Vince by his lapels and yells at him only for Triple H to clobber him from behind, causing the referee to call for the bell and start this match.

'Ding! Ding! Ding!'

Bladewolf whips Triple H around... AND NAILS THE SUPERKICK! Triple H stumbles... INTO THE STONE COLD STUNNER! Bladewolf runs and knocks Kurt Angle out of the ring as Austin covers Triple H! ONE! TWO! THREE! AUSTIN AND BLADEWOLF WIN!

'Ding! Ding! Ding!'

Bladewolf and Austin eye each other as RAW goes off the air, Trish and Debra looking in between them...

And that's it for this chapter everyone.
