9:00 p.m.
(The pyros fly and the crowd goes wild. The camera shows the crowd at the first Raw is War since the nWo destroyed the WWF one week before Wrestlemania. The camera goes to ringside where Justin Credible and Mick Foley are waiting. Steven Richards is the ring announcer for tonight's event.)
Justin: Welcome to Raw is War. The WWF is back in business. It is too bad we couldn't Jim Ross or Jerry 'The King' Lawler to come back with it. I'm here though, and so is my partner for Raw, Mick Foley.
Mick: It's good to be back in the WWF Justin. I was sitting at home and Vince called me. He told me that the WWF was returning and he wanted me to commentate and possibly wrestle. I figured, "Hey, I am having to many days that aren't nice. Maybe I should take his offer and have a nice day." So I told him I'd be here and here I am. It's just too bad I'm not in tonight's main event.
Justin: It's going to be a great main event. 20 men will enter the ring and compete for the WWF Title. First up though, Rhyno is going to take on Tazz after an attack from Tazz during Rhyno's match with The Hurricane.
9:04 p.m.
(Rhyno's music hits and the beast walks through the curtain.)
Steven: The following match is for a co-number 1 contender spot for the Hardcore Title. Now making his way to the ring, Rhyno.
(Rhyno starts taking trashcans and other items from under the ring and throws them over the ropes. Tazz's music starts and out walks the thug from Redhook.)
Steven: And now making his way to the ring, Tazz.
(Rhyno gets out of the ring and goes after Tazz. The two men brawl for while and finally get in the ring. Rhyno grabs a stop sign and cracks it over Tazz's head. He continues to hit Tazz with the sign and then grabs a trashcan. He sets the trashcan in the middle of the ring and stands in front of it. He irish whips Tazz into the ropes and waits for Tazz to return to him. He lifts Tazz up, turns around, and hits a spinebuster on the trashcan. He takes a trashcan lid and smacks it over the head of Tazz. Tazz stands up and Rhyno clotheslines him out of the ring. The two men fight some more. Tazz takes control with some suplexs, before getting a wrench from under the ring. He hits Rhyno in the back of the head and laughs at Rhyno. Tazz then gets a chair and begins hitting Rhyno repeatedly. Tazz waits for Rhyno to get up and locks in the Tazzmission. Rhyno is about to tap out, but sees the wrench that Tazz used on him. He manages to grab it and hit Tazz in the head. The men fight up the ramp to where there are two glass walls. Tazz stands up and is gored through the glass. The cameraman can't fit into the room, so the fans see nothing for a couple of minutes. The fans start to boo loudly until finally Rhyno and Tazz come crashing through the other glass wall. Rhyno gored Tazz through both walls. Rhyno covers Tazz and listens as the referee counts 1-2-3.)
Steven: Here is your winner, and co-number 1 contender for the Hardcore Title, RHYNO.
9:15
Justin: What a match. Rhyno will go to Vengeance to take on either Jeff Hardy or Jerry Lynn.
Mick: We could see a match between two big ECW stars. That match was hardcore.
(The camera switches to backstage and shows Lita approach Mighty Molly.)
Lita- Hey Molly. Good luck tonight. I'm glad to be facing you in our first night back.
Molly: Are you saying I can't beat you? Do you think I need your luck? I'm glad to face you to, because I am going to leave your slutty ass lying in the ring. Now get out of my locker room.
(The camera goes to a commercial. When the camera comes back on, Vince McMahon's music is playing in the background.)
Justin: Welcome back to Raw. Rhyno just defeated Tazz and Molly went off on Lita.
Mick: That should be a nice match. Girls, girls, girls. Vince is on his way to the ring. I was told he has a major announcement about the Battle Royal for the WWF Title tonight.
Steven: Now making his way to the ring, he is the President of the WWF, Vince McMahon.
9:22 p.m.
(Vince steps in the ring and is handed a microphone. He looks around before beginning to speak.)
Vince: Nearly a year ago, I brought the nWo into the WWF. I do admit that it was a mistake, and I never should have tried to destroy the WWF. After we went off the air, I had a talk with Ric Flair. We talked about the company and how it's going to be hard to forget it. We then realized that we were having a friendly conversation. I told Ric that I was going to miss him. Two months ago, I received a phone call from Ric asking me to bring back the WWF. He told me that if I did, he would be Vice President and I could be President. I agreed and imiaditly began calling any wrestler I could think of. I renewed contracts and had other people sign contracts. One of those men is sitting at that table over there. I also brought back the nWo. That move has brought me trouble. I was not able to sign Jim Ross or Jerry Lawler, because they refused to return to a federation with the nWo. I informed Ric and we began talking about the first matches. We decided to have a main event for the WWF Title tonight, and it wasn't until just now that we finalized it. There will be a 20 Man Battle Royal tonight for the WWF Title. The people that will be involved are Chris Jericho, The Rock, Kurt Angle, Booker T, Stone Cold, Triple H, Scott Hall, Hulk Hogan, Kevin Nash, Rob Van Dam, The Undertaker, Shane McMahon, Goldust, X-PAC, Chris Benoit, William Regal, Rikishi, Test, Shawn Michaels, and Big Bossman. These 20 men will fight for honor of being called the WWF Champion. After the match, I will personally walk down to the ring and present the winner with the WWF Title. Now I don't want to ruin all of the excitement so I will leave and you can get back to watching the show.
(Vince leaves the ring and the camera goes to Ric Flair's office. Ric is on his cell phone when Shane McMahon walks into his office.)
Ric: Hello Shane.
Shane: Do you really think that my father wants you in this company? He doesn't like you and neither do I. We brought back the nWo so that they could get you out of the business. You don't fit in here.
Ric: I trust your father and I believe he wants me here. I put you in the Battle Royal tonight and I am willing to take you right back out of it. After what you did to your father last year, you are lucky he was willing to let me sign you. I gave him a contract and told him to give it to you. If you don't want me here than maybe you should leave the WWF. Get out of my office.
(The camera goes back out to the ring.)
Justin: Ladies and gentlemen the 20 men that will enter the battle royal tonight have been announced. We are about to be joined by Rhyno, who not to long ago became the co-number 1 contender for the Hardcore Title.
Mick: Rhyno has got to be in pain from his match. I'm shocked to hear that he hasn't left the building.
9:35
(Rhyno's music hits and he once again makes his way to ringside.)
Justin: Rhyno, good job earlier tonight. I'm surprised to see you out here.
Rhyno: It was only a hardcore match. I need to see what jackass I'm going to face at Vengeance.
Mick: It's nice to see you Rhyno.
(Jeff Hardy's music begins and the high flyer from North Carolina comes out.)
Justin: I had a chance to commentate Heat with Jeff's brother last night. The Hardys are really nice people.
Rhyno: Nice isn't going to get him anywhere in this match. You have to be hardcore and to be hardcore you have to be mean.
(Jerry Lynn's music is on and Lynn is heading for the ring.)
Mick: Both you and Jerry are from ECW. Do you guys have any secret grudges or anything?
Rhyno: Are you stupid? He is from ECW and ECW is hardcore. He knows the style and that means I have to watch him closely. I hate Jerry Lynn.
(Jerry and Jeff are both in the ring and start going at each other. Jeff hits a crossbody and then a spinning wheel kick. Jerry Lynn comes back with a superkick to the head of Jeff. The two men spill to the outside of the ring. Jeff gets a ladder, while Jerry gets some trashcans and street signs. Jeff runs the ladder into the back of Jerry. He lifts the ladder up and smashes it against the Jerry's skull. Jeff gets on the ladder and lands a leg drop. He then begins to hit Jerry with the ladder repeatedly.)
Rhyno: This isn't hardcore. This looks like a ladder match.
Justin: Where are you going?
(Rhyno gets out of his chair and attacks Jeff Hardy. He smashes a trashcan over Jeff's head. Jerry gets up and is met with a gore from Rhyno. Rhyno lays a tire on Jerry Lynn and tells the referee to count. 1-2-3.)
Steven: Because this is a hardcore match, anything or anyone can win. The tire must now pin Jeff Hardy in order to become the co-number 1 contender for the Hardcore Title.
(Rhyno lays the tire on Jeff Hardy. 1-2-. Tazz comes through the crowd and breaks up the count. He fights off Rhyno and hits a japanese suplex. Tazz covers the tire. 1-2-3. All Tazz has to do is defeat Jeff Hardy. Jeff stands up and Tazz hits him with a handicap sign. He locks in the Tazzmission and Jeff Hardy taps out. Tazz stands back up and is gored by Rhyno. Rhyno turns around and is kicked in the stomach by Jerry Lynn. Jerry DDTs Rhyno onto a steel chair and then gets a microphone.)
Jerry: If you want to apply the 24/7 rule for the number 1 contender spots, then you better hide.
(Jerry drops the microphone and takes off.)
Justin: The first match for Vengeance will be Tazz vs. Rhyno for the Hardcore Title.
Mick: There is a 24/7 rule though, so that match could be changed. We'll be right back with Mighty Molly vs. Lita.
(The camera cuts to a commercial. We return and see the nWo in their locker room.)
Scott: Yo, you ready for the Battle Royal guys?
Hogan: Yeah. None of these losers can beat any one of us. We destroyed this federation and we will also dominate it.
Nash: We have to remember that once we get out of the ring we have to put the match behind us if one of us wins. If you are nWo once, you are nWo 4 life.
9:52
(The camera goes to ringside.)
Justin: The nWo are prepared for the main event, but there is still a lot more to come. Kane will take on Edge, Mr. Perfect and Albert will fight for the European Title, and Lita is on her way to the ring to take on Mighty Molly.
(Lita walks down the ramp. She stops every once in a while to pump the crowd.)
Mick: Molly is a nice little girl, but earlier she was just a bitch. She has something coming to her.
(Might Molly walks to the ring.)
Steven: Now making her way to the ring, Mighty Molly.
(The two divas start the match by pulling each other's hair. They both let go, step back, step up, and start pulling the hair again. Lita finally manages to slap Molly. Molly slaps Lita back and then tries to slap her again. Lita ducks and then dropkicks Molly. She makes the cover. 1-2-. Molly kicks out. Lita puts Molly in a sleeper hold. After a minute, Molly gets an elbow on Lita and begins to fight back. She gets to her feet and suplexs Lita. She rubs her boot into the face of Lita and then goes to the rope. Lita stands up and Molly hits a flying clothesline. Molly makes a cover. 1-2-. Lita gets the rope. Molly lifts up Lita and pulls her down by the hair. She then picks Lita up using the hair, but Lita knees Molly in the stomach. She hits a DDT on Molly and goes to the top rope. Molly stands up and is met with a Hurricanrana. Lita waits for Molly to get to her feet. When Molly gets up, Lita kicks her in the stomach and does the twist of fate. 1-2-3.)
Steven: Here is your winner, LITA.
Justin: Lita just defeated Mighty Molly. When we return we will hear from The Rock.
(They go to a commercial. The camera comes back on and Coach is in the back with The Rock.)
Coach: Rock, tonight you will take place in a 20-man battle royal for the WWF Title.
Rock: Hold on a second Coach. Did you just tell The Rock that it is a 20-man battle royal?
Coach: Yes.
Rock: The battle royal does not have 20 men. You may have 20 men, but the battle royal consists of The Rock and 19 other little girls. Vince McMahon has given The Rock a chance to win the WWF Title, but putting The Rock against girls is not a good idea. It is not nice to hit girls Coach. The Rock does not hit girls. The Rock does not like to be in the ring with girls because the girls drool when the see the people's sweat. No matter how many girls enter this battle royal tonight, though, The Rock will lay the smackdown on each and every one of them. The Rock will please the millions, and MILLIONS of The Rock's great fans and bring back the people's title. The nWo can kiss The Rock's ass, because not a single one of them will leave here tonight as a champion. I will rock bottom Nash, do the people's elbow to Hall, and then stick both of them straight up Hulk Hogan's candy ass. If you smelllllllll, what The Rock, is cooking.
10:10
(The camera switches to Justin and Mick.)
Justin: The Rock seems pretty confident that he will be the next WWF Champion, but I wonder what the last WWF Champ has to say.
Mick: You talked to him last night and he said that he would be in the match, but right now the first title in the WWF will be decided.
(Mr. Perfect walks through the curtain to his music.)
Steven: The following match is for the European Title. Now making his way to the ring, Mr. Perfect.
Justin: This is the PERFECT match. We finally get to see a title decided.
Mick: It's too bad the European Title is no where in sight.
(Albert's music plays and the he walks down the ramp.)
Steven: And now making his way to the ring, Albert.
(Albert and Mr. Perfect begin to attack each other. The throw punches, block punches, and counter punches. After a couple of minutes, the referee notices that the European Title is not ringside. He leaves the ring and walks up the ramp. Mr. Perfect tosses Albert out of the ring and they battle outside. Mr. Perfect starts to use a chair on Albert. He then gets under the ring and gets a fire extinguisher. He hits Albert across the head with it.)
Justin: Where is the referee? This is crazy.
Mick: I have been informed that the referee is backstage looking for the European Title.
(The two men get back in the ring and Mr. Perfect continues to attack Albert. He hits a number of clotheslines and a DDT. Mr. Perfect lifts up Albert and hits a Perfect-Plex. Mr. Perfect covers Albert as The Big Show runs down to the ring with the European Title. The Big Show gets down and makes the count. 1-2-3.)
Steven: Here is your winner new European Champion, MR. PERFECT.
Justin: The Big Show had the title and just gave the win to Mr. Perfect. That was cheap. The Big Show was not an authorized referee.
Mick: He made the count. There is nothing anybody can do. When we come back, Edge will take on the Big Red Machine.
10:23
(The camera goes to a commercial. It returns to ringside where Justin and Mick are waiting for the next match.)
Justin: We are back. Kane is on his way to the ring right now.
(Kane walks down to the ring and poses for the crowd.)
Mick: Edge is a great fighter, but I don't think he stands a chance.
(Edge's music begins and he runs to the ring. He gets inside and is met by Kane's boot. Kane irish whips Edge into the ropes. When Edge gets back to Kane, Kane chokeslams him. He makes the cover. 1-2-3.)
Steven: Here is your winner, EDGE.
Justin: Kane just defeated Edge in the shortest match tonight.
Mick: I told you he had no chance.
(The camera goes to Vince's office. Vince is sitting with Ric watching the show.)
Vince: It's time for the big match. Who do you think will win?
Ric: I don't know. Your son came in here though. He told me you want to get rid of me.
Vince: Why would I do that? We are partners now. I can shut this down if you don't trust me Ric.
Ric: I trust you. I just want to make sure you are planning anything. I think I'm going to watch this last match in my office.
Vince: OK.
(The camera goes to a commercial. It comes back and all 20 people are in the ring.)
Justin: Everybody is out here and the battle royal is about to start.
10:30
(The bell rings and all 20 men begin to fight. Hall, Hogan, and Nash team up against HBK, X-PAC, and Triple H. They battle it out until Hall eliminates HBK. RVD and Chris Benoit are also fighting. Chris tries to lock in the crossface, but RVD counters and hits a spinning wheel kick. Benoit flies into the ropes and is met by a kick from Booker T. Chris Benoit is eliminated. Test and Booker team up against RVD. Test goes for the big boot, but RVD ducks and throws Test over the top rope. RVD then chops at Booker. He hits a superkick and goes to the top rope. He jumps and hits the 5 Star Frog Splash. Rikishi and Regal go at it. Regal has the brass knuckles on, but it's not enough to stop Rikishi. Rikishi runs at Regal, turning around at the last moment and hitting him with his giant butt. Regal flies out of the ring. Jericho and Austin fight for a while. Austin hits a stunner and Jericho flies over the top rope. Shane eliminates Big Bossman with a clothesline. Undertaker knocks RVD out of the ring with a chokeslam over the top rope. Rock hits a DDT on Booker T and throws him over the top rope. Angle Olympic Slams Kevin Nash over the tope rope. Goldust hits the Shattered Dreams on X-PAC. X-PAC jumps over the top rope because of the pain. Goldust turns around and is met with a knee from Triple H. Triple H lifts up Goldust, pedigrees him, and throws him over the top rope. Shane eliminates The Undertaker with a kendo stick, and Angle tosses Rikishi over the ropes with a belly to belly suplex. Angle is clotheslined over the top rope by Triple H, but pulls HHH with him. Hall throws Austin out of the ring. It's all down to Hall, Hogan, Shane, and The Rock. Stone Cold jumps onto the ring and pulls Shane over the top rope. Shane attacks Stone Cold outside the ring. The Rock throws Hogan into Hall and Hall goes over the rope. Hogan and The Rock are inside the ring. Rock DDTs Hogan and goes for the People's Elbow. Hogan rolls out of the way and takes control. The two men fight for a minute and then Hogan goes for a legdrop. Rock moves and waits for Hogan to stand up. He hits the Rock Bottom and goes for the People's Elbow again. This time, Hall pulls down on the rope and Rock falls out of the ring. Shane and Scott attack The Rock. They put him back in the ring and time him up in the ropes.)
Justin: Hulk Hogan is the WWF Champion and Vince is about to enter the ring.
("No Chance" hits and out walks the President of the WWF. He carries the WWF Title to the ring and gets a microphone.)
10:55
Vince: I am proud to say that Hulk Hogan is the new WWF Champion. Would you like to say anything?
Hulk: What cha' gonna do Rock? You lost. I am the biggest superstar in the business and always will be.
(Shane, Nash, and Hall stomp on The Rock. All of a sudden, Ric Flair's music blares across the arena. The crowd goes wild as the Vice President steps onto the stage.)
Ric: Hold on guys. Vince, you and I had an agreement. We decided that the WWF Champion would face the last man in the ring at Vengeance. Well that means that The Rock and Hogan will go one on one at the end of the month. I have come up with a move of my own. Until Vengeance, Hogan and Rock are suspended. They can come to the shows and wrestle at house shows, but if they lay a finger on each other or anyone else, the will be FIRED!
(Flair leaves the stage and Hogan lifts his microphone and looks at Hall and Nash.)
Hogan: Since I can't touch this brother, I want you to take him out for me. Kick his ass.
(The nWo attack Rock, get a spray paint can and spray nWo 4 Life on Rock's back.)
