The fireworks went off in the arena for the start of RAW as Joey Styles, Jerry Lawler and the Coach welcomed us to the show and Eric Bischoff is already in the center of the ring and he doesn’t look happy! Bischoff said in just a moment, he is going to call every wrestler who is under contract to RAW, who is back in that locker room, to come down to this ring, because he is going to give them a piece of his mind! He said last night at Survivor Series, all of the RAW superstars let the people down, but more importantly, they let him down, which is why the first thing he did when he got here was put everyone on notice that failures like last night at Survivor Series will not be tolerated, so with that in mind, he is ordering every one of the RAW superstars to get down to this ring and face the music.
Bischoff waited and no one came out and asked if there was an audio problem, and to get down to this ring right now! Again no one showed, and he said he will come to them and he will fire the first person…the music of Vince McMahon then hit as he strutted down to the ring!
McMahon got on the mic and asked if Eric said he was going to fire the first person he sees? He said his name is Vince McMahon and he’s the chairman of the board, how you doing? He said he doesn’t want Eric to fire him, he loves his job and he loves the business, but Eric you’re not going to fire him, and you’re not going to fire anybody! He said the reason the RAW superstars didn’t come out is because he told them they didn’t have to. He said it isn’t about them, it’s about Bischoff. He said Bischoff had three goals at Survivor Series, Team RAW was going to beat Team Smackdown but that didn’t happen. Bischoff was going to beat Teddy Long and that didn’t happen either, and the third was to screw John Cena out of the WWE Title and that didn’t happen either! McMahon said Bischoff set these goals and he fails to reach them, so some people could construe that as Bischoff being a failure! McMahon said Bischoff had some success here and there, but is he going to burn RAW down like he did WCW? McMahon told Bischoff to speak and then yelled to shut up and said his record SUCKS! The fans chanted “you suck” at Bischoff as McMahon said perception is reality, so therefore, if the people perceive Bischoff to be a failure, then they will perceive RAW to be a failure, and then they will perceive McMahon as a failure.
McMahon said he is a lot of things but he isn’t a failure, so he’s giving Bischoff an ultimatum, and that is to set a goal and achieve it and if he doesn’t, McMahon could very well be looking for a new General Manager. Bischoff said with all due respect, they both know it’s not as easy as it sounds. He said despite his deficiencies, he’s held this show together since 2002, while on Smackdown it’s been a revolving door. He said that he wants McMahon to reconsider, because he won’t find it easy to find a replacement for him. McMahon asked him to repeat what he said. Bischoff said no one can possibly replace him. McMahon then looked to the back and the music of Shane McMahon hit!!! HERE COMES THE MONEY! Shane came down to the ring and shuffled around like only he can! He and his father embraced and Shane took the mic. Shane said that he never really liked Eric and he’s looking forward to seeing him go, but as far as it goes to answer who could replace him, well you’re looking at him! Shane said he was born to do this job! Bischoff didn’t look happy, and his back up against the wall here tonight on RAW!

Carlito went for the overdrive but Michaels escaped and hit Sweet Chin Music for the win out of nowhere!

Backstage:
Bischoff is shown backstage and Angle and Daivari stormed in. Angle said last night was the biggest screwjob in history, and a Smackdown referee made the fall. Angle said when the referee made the count they stood up and cheered, and he wants the WWE Title! Daivari spouted off and Angle said what the Boogeyman did to Bischoff last night will be nothing compared to what Angle will do if he doesn’t get what he wants! Don’t piss him off!
Last night:

Backstage:
Bischoff is shown in his office and Maria comes in. She says she wanted to ask him if he thinks he will get fired tonight, and Shane McMahon sent her. Bischoff laughs and says he is still the General Manager of RAW, so he is going to send her out to that ring and have a match with Kurt Angle. She says she is an interviewer and not a wrestler, but Bischoff said tonight his goal is to never have to hear Maria ask a question again. He told her to get out to that ring or she’s fired.
Referee: Daivari
Maria vs. Kurt Angle
Maria is in the ring looking very worried as the music of Daivari hit and he made his way down in his referee shirt. Daivari got in Maria’s face and Chad Patton the referee is out here and says he is going to referee this match. They both argue and then Patton decked him with a right hand! Daivari backed off and acted like he was leaving till Patton turned his back and then Daivari attacked from behind and choked him out. Daivari locked in a Camel Clutch on Patton and then tossed him to the outside and spat on him. Daivari then got in Maria’s face again as Kurt Angle made his way to the ring, with the “you suck” chants censored yet again. Angle gets on the mic and tells Maria to calm down, and he isn’t going to hurt her. He said it’s a stupid idea and he doesn’t wrestle women. He said that he wants her to come out here and give him a hug and they will call it a day. Maria and Angle hugged and then he clutched her and dropped her with the Angle Slam! Cena then hit the ring and hammered away with right hands and then a shoulder block and clotheslined Angle to the outside. Masters then hit the ring and attacked Cena from behind and locked in the Masterlock! Angle then came in and kicked away at Cena while he was in the Masterlock. Bischoff came out and said to hold on, and that Angle has to save a bit for later on. Bischoff said McMahon wants him to have a goal, and that goal is to see Cena tap out and lose the WWE Championship, so tonight on RAW it will be Cena defending the WWE Championship against Kurt Angle and Chris Masters in a No Disqualification, No Countout, Triple Threat Submission Match! Angle then gave Cena an Angle Slam, and Angle has the Ankle Lock and Masters has the Master Lock, what does Cena have, the 5 Knuckle Shuffle?

Shane then grabbed him against the wall and said not to ever disrespect him or his family name.
Backstage:
Angle is shown and Daivari is rubbing his shoulders, and Angle is getting worked up for the match tonight. Angle said Cena doesn’t have a chance, especially since he will have his own referee. Masters came in and said that sounds like a great plan, but if Daivari screws Cena, Daivari will screw him. Masters said he went to Vince McMahon and Daivari has the night off! Masters said tonight, we have a fresh impartial referee for the match, and the new champion will be him, the Masterpiece.

Triple H is shown walking backstage towards the arena, and we will hear from him next!
In the arena:
The music of Triple H hit in the arena as he made his way down to the ring, and last night he defeated Ric Flair in a Last Man Standing Match at the Survivor Series. Triple H got on the mic and said it has been brought to his attention that some people think he is not a compassionate man, but you’re wrong, he is a regular humanitarian. When they took Flair out of the arena in the ambulance, he made sure they took him to the finest hospital in Detroit, he made sure he had his own suite, and a plasma screen on his wall, and made sure they had the USA network because he didn’t want Flair to miss one single moment of RAW. He said he knows Flair is sitting in his hospital bed watching right now, and tells Flair to stay down. He knows Flair is thinking he can come back from this, but he can’t. Come to terms with the fact that Ric Flair is gone. He said he doesn’t know what Flair is upset about, he couldn’t have written a better exit if he tried, going back to back pay-per-views with the greatest wrester alive today. He said there is no shame in him losing to the best. When they let him out of the hospital, go home and live out the rest of your life, and don’t come back here because you are not wanted anymore.
Triple H asked if the fans have a problem with that, and the problem is they know he’s right and the reason they are mad is because none of them would have the guts to do something about it and that’s what separates him from them. They can sit out in the crowd and hide behind the anonymity of the mob, and run him down, but the fact is there is not a man alive who will look him in the eye and tell him to his face. The music of the Big Show then hit as he made his way down to the ring! They both stared at each other intently as Show got on the mic. Show said he has known Triple H for a long time, and has let a lot of the things that he has done slide, but after what he did to Ric Flair, he’s here to tell him to his face, eye to eye, man to man, Hunter, you’re a piece of shit. Show said Triple H thinks he’s a tough guy, but Show doesn’t a need a sledgehammer to put someone out of their misery. He told him a few weeks ago that his time is coming, and his time is here and now, but the question is, does Triple H have the guts to fight him now. Triple H backed up and went to speak but Show whacked the mic out of his hand. Triple H then backed out of the ring and up the aisle as Show stared him down.
