•The Y2J countdown opens the show, starting at 4.00 and descending down to 0.00. The lights in the arena go out and pyro shoots off
the stage as Chris Jericho and RVD walk down the ramp. They don't look too happy.•
Cameron Cade: Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to WWF Raw is War...We're starting the show off a little differently tonight, Chris
Jericho and Rob Van Dam making their way to the ring right now.
Torrie Wilson: And I'm Torrie Wilson, and welcome to Raw is War! Right now, making their way to the ring, Chris Jericho and Rob Van Dam.
Cameron Cade: Yea Torrie, thanks for just repeating everything that I said.
Torrie Wilson: Your name isn't Torrie Wilson.
•Jericho grabs the microphone from Lilian Garcia. He turns it on and walks around the ring while the fans cheer for him and RVD. He
looks out into the fans with a pissed off look on his face.•
Chris Jericho: Last week.. Last week, Michaels..
•Break it down! The DX theme hits the speakers and the four members walk out onto the stage. Shawn Michaels pulls a mic out of his
pocket.•
Shawn Michaels: Chris..Chris..Chris. Running your mouth won't get you anywhere.. Like a good friend of mine used to say.. Don't sing it, bring
it.
•Jericho drops the mic and motions for Shawn to come into the ring. The entire faction of DX walks down the ramp and each member
takes one side of the ring. They all hop onto the apron and surround Jericho and RVD. They each slowly climb into the ring. Jericho runs at HBK and knocks him off the
apron. Billy Gunn clips Jericho from behind as Triple H and Chyna back RVD into the corner. Michaels gets back into the ring with a chair. Mr. Ass bounces Jericho off the
ropes and Michaels takes a swing, sending Jericho crashing to the mat. Chyna is holding RVD for Triple H to pummel on. Hunter kicks him in the stomach and hooks his arms
for a Pedigree. He drops him down to the mat while Chyna looks on. Fire shoots off the stage as Kane's music begins playing. He walks down the ramp as DX turns their
attention to him. He pulls himself onto the ring apron and Mr. Ass lunges for him. Kane grabs him by the throat and lifts him over the top rope, dropping him on the arena floor.
He steps over the top rope and Triple H runs at him. Kane clotheslines him down. Michaels throws the chair down and runs at him. He goes for a clothesline but Kane ducks
it. He turns HBK around and big boots him over the top rope. Chyna picks up the chair and smashes it across Kane's back. He turns around and grabs her by the throat. He
lifts her into the air and drops her to the mat with a chokeslam. Triple H and Mr. Ass grab her and drag her out of the ring. DX begins walking up the ramp. Half-way up, Jim
Ross' theme music hits the speakers and he walks out onto the stage.•
Jim Ross: What is this!? What the hell do you think you are doing? This isn't some circus freak show. You can't keep beating the hell out
of each other. This isn't a sanctioned match.
•Shawn Michaels turns around and screams at Ross.•
Shawn Michaels: Then give us one!
Jim Ross: You know what, Shawn.. you got it. The three of you.. against the three of them. Tonight!
•Ross walks backstage as DX stares down the three men in the ring. The camera cuts back to Randy Orton and Trish Stratus walking
backstage. They see JR walking back to his office and Randy stops him.•
Randy Orton: Excuse me, Mr. Ross?
Jim Ross: Yes, yes.. What can I do for you?
Randy Orton: Well, lately Edge and Jazz have been.. you know.. getting on ou---
Trish Stratus: Edge and Jazz are pissing us off and we want them in the ring, tonight!
•Randy looks over at Trish, a little embarrassed. JR looks at Trish and then back at Orton, who gives him a little nod.•
Jim Ross: Fine, you two have Jazz and Edge tonight.
Trish Stratus: Thank you Mr. Ross.
•Trish and Randy walk off and JR continues walking to his office. The camera cuts to Test, who is talking to Spike Dudley in a
hallway.•
Spike: You know something Test, at No Mercy, I bet it comes down to you and me in that European match.
Test: You're probably right Spike.
Hulk Hogan:.....Excuse me, brothers.. I couldn't help but overhearing that you two dudes think that it's gonna be you two fighting for that
European title. The only reason you two have a chance at winning that belt is because I'm not gonna be in the match, brother.
Test: Spike.. can you hand me my sunglasses? I'm about to go blind from staring at this man's body.
Hulk Hogan: Really funny, bruh.
Test: Yeah, I try my best.
Hulk Hogan: Since you think you're so funny, let's go out to that ring and let me wipe that smile off of your face.
Test: I've got no problem with that.
Hulk Hogan: And while we're at it, put your European title shot on the line. I win, I get in the match and I win the belt.
Test: Whatever it takes to get your wrinkled ass into that ring, I'll do it.
Hulk Hogan: It's on, brother.
•Hogan walks off leaving Spike and Test laughing at him. The camera goes back to Cameron Cade and Torrie Wilson at the announce
table. •
Cameron Cade: What a way to start of Raw tonight, eh Torrie?
Torrie Wilson: Sure thing, Cam-ie.
Cameron Cade: Ok honey, knock it off with the nicknames.
Torrie Wilson: As you wish, sweet-ums.
Cameron Cade: TORRIE!
Torrie Wilson: Ok..Ok..
•"I Am a Real American!" Hollywood Hogan's theme music hits the speakers as he walks out onto the stage, playing his air guitar. He
walks down the ramp as the fans chant "Hogan Sucks.. Hogan Sucks!"•
Cameron Cade: Apparently, Hulk Hogan and Test are going to face off right now..
Torrie Wilson: Ya know Cade, I don't know what I'd do without you. You're such a genius to be able to point something like that out. Kudos to
you, buddy.
Cameron Cade: Shut up, Torrie.
•"Test..Test..This is a test." Test walks out onto the stage as the fans cheer for him, partially because they like him but more so
because he's fighting Hogan. Test pulls himself onto the ring apron and steps over the top rope. He climbs to the top rope and raises his arms into the air. Hogan sneaks up
behind him and hits him across the back with a double axe-handle. Test falls off the top rope and Hogan punches him a few times. Hollywood whips him across the ring into
the opposite turnbuckle. He runs at him but Test gets his foot up and kicks Hogan in the face. Hulk stumbles backward and Test runs at him, knocking him down with a
clothesline. Test pulls him to his feet and backs him into the turnbuckle. He chokes him with his boot and then punches him a few times. The ref calls Test off of him which
allows Hogan to gouge at his eyes. Hogan scratches Test across his back. He bounces him off the ropes. Test runs back at Hogan and gets bodyslammed to the mat. Hogan
covers him but Test gets his shoulder up.•
Cameron Cade: I don't even see why Hogan wants the European title.
Torrie Wilson: The highlight.
Cameron Cade: What?
Torrie Wilson: The highlight.
Cameron Cade: What the hell are you talking about?
Torrie Wilson: He wants to hog the highlight. He's taking it from all of the young guys that should be winning the belts.
Cameron Cade: Torrie.. the spotlight.
•Hollywood slides out of the ring and picks up a part of the mat around the ring. He throws it aside and pulls Test outside by his legs.
He kicks Test in the stomach and puts him between his legs. He tries to pick him up and piledrive him on the concrete but Test blocks it and backbody drops Hogan to the
floor. Test gets to his feet and slides back into the ring. He stands up and waits for Hogan to get to his feet. As he does, Test bounces off the ring ropes and performs a tope
over the top rope, landing on Hogan. He gets to his knees and begins pounding at Hogan's head. He picks him up by his hair and smashes his face into the guard rail. He slides
Hogan under the bottom rope and climbs onto the apron. He signals that he's going to the top rope. The Rock runs down the ramp and tries to sneak up on Test but he isn't
sneaky enough. The Rock climbs onto the apron and runs at Test but Test turns around and big boots Rocky off the apron, down to the floor. As he turns his attention back to
Hogan, he gets knocked in the side of the head with some brass knuckles. He falls to the arena floor as Hogan buries the knucks in his tights. Hollywood gets out of the ring
and pulls Test to his feet. He pushes him onto the ring apron and then pushes him into the ring. The Rock gets up and distracts the referee while Hogan throws a chair into the
ring. He gets in and picks up the chair. Spike Dudley runs down the ramp and hops into the ring. He spears Hogan down from behind, causing him to drop the chair. He picks
up the chair and waits for Hogan to get up. The Rock is still distracting the referee, thinking that Hogan is attacking Test. Hogan gets to his feet and turns around right into a
chair shot from Spike. Hogan falls back against the ropes and bounces out. Spike catches him by the head, climbs onto the top turnbuckle, and delivers the Acid Drop. He
hurriedly drags Test on top of Hogan and crawls out of the ring. He runs around and pulls The Rock off the apron. The referee turns around and sees Test on top of Hogan
and makes the count. 1....2....3!•
Cameron Cade: Hollywood Hogan is not going to No Mercy. Test and Spike Dudley just made sure of that!
Torrie Wilson: They cheated!
Cameron Cade: Torrie.. You want a chocolate?
•Cade holds out his hand which has a few Reese's peanut butter cups in it. Torrie smiles and bounces up and down in her chair while
she takes some.•
Cameron Cade: That was easy enough.
•The camera cuts to the boiler room. Sitting in the corner, rocking back and forth, is Mankind. As the camera gets closer, we can see
that his mask is off and that he is mumbling something. He jerks suddenly and slashes a fork across his forehead, spilling blood down his face. He throws the fork across the
room.•
Mankind: Six days, Undertaker.. Six days. More importantly, five more nights. Five more midnights will pass until I show you what I am. I
will show you Undertaker that I'm not afraid of you. Your games don't scare me, Undertaker. Because I have games too. Look Undertaker, look at this blood. This blood is
nothing to me. Let it all flow out. Watch what I'll do for you Undertaker.
•Mankind pulls The Undertaker's urn from behind his back and opens the lid. He leans his head over and lets his blood drip
inside.•
Mankind: Do you see what I'm doing Undertaker? I'm playing games with you. BUT MY GAMES AREN'T STAGE LIGHTS AND FAKE
SMOKE! MY GAMES ARE REAL! And Sunday, Undertaker, Sunday you will see..You'll see just how real they are....Have a nice day!
•The camera cuts back to Cade and Torrie at the announce table.•
Cameron Cade: Jesus that man is sadistic.
Torrie Wilson: *with chocolate in her mouth* My name isn't Jesus....ACK!
•Torrie spits the chocolate onto the announce table and takes off her shoe. She smashes the chocolate until it's flat like a
pancake.•
Cameron Cade: What the hell are you doing?
Torrie Wilson: It..It raped me! It was horrible. It tasted so..so wrong!
•Cade leans over and looks at the piece of chocolate.•
Cameron Cade: Umm.. Torrie.. You're supposed to take the paper off before eating the candy.
•The camera cuts to the backstage area once again. This time, it's the locker room of Stacy Keibler. She's polishing a lead pipe.
Someone knocks on the door and walks in. It's Jeff Hardy.•
Jeff Hardy: Hey..
Stacy Keibler: Don't even try and get me to change my mind.
Jeff Hardy: Are you sure you're up for this? Chyna's.. well.. huge.
Stacy Keibler: What? You don't think I can handle myself out there?
Jeff Hardy: No Stacy... we've just got a big match this Sunday at No Mercy. Listen, just be careful.
Stacy Keibler: I can take care of myself, Jeff.
•Stacy walks out of the locker room, carrying her pipe.•
Jeff Hardy: *to himself* I hope she realizes what she's doing.
•"You Think You Know Me?" Edge's music hits the speakers as smoke fills up the entrance stage. Edge and Jazz walk out from
behind the curtain to a chorus of boos. They make their way to the ring.•
Cameron Cade: Edge and Jazz, set to take on Randy Orton and Trish Stratus. Edge and Orton going one on one at No Mercy for the
Intercontinental title.
Torrie Wilson: Is Ross gonna let Trish and Jazz go to the ring with them on Sunday?
Cameron Cade: Well I don't see why he wouldn't.
Torrie Wilson: Yea because every time they do, they fight and fight and fight.
•As Edge is posing on the top turnbuckle, Randy Orton runs down the ramp and slides into the ring. Trish runs behind him. Orton grabs
Edge by his trenchcoat and yanks him off the top rope. Edge lands on the mat and Orton begins kicking him. Jazz runs to stop him but Trish has gotten into the ring and she
clotheslines Jazz down. Trish picks her up and pushes her between the ropes. Orton pulls Edge to his feet and whips him to the ropes. He knocks him over the top rope with a
dropkick. Jazz helps Edge get to his feet. Orton and Trish taunt for them to get back in the ring. Edge hops onto the ring apron after telling the referee to back Orton away. He
slowly steps through the ropes and while Orton is turned, talking to Trish, Edge runs at him and knocks both of them into the turnbuckle. Trish rolls out of the ring as Edge picks
Orton up. He punches him a few times until Randy is backed into the corner. Edge pounds on him a few times then whips him across the ring. Edge distracts the referee while
Jazz chokes Orton on the top ring rope. Edge walks over to her and tags her in. She pulls Orton to his feet and bounces him off the ring ropes. She runs at him and clotheslines
him to the mat. She goes for the cover but Orton kicks out. She picks him up again and body slams him down to the mat. She runs against the ropes and drops a leg onto
Orton's neck. She picks him up and hooks him for a suplex. Orton blocks it up drops Jazz to the mat with a DDT. He crawls over to his corner and makes the hot tag to Trish.
She hops into the ring and runs at Jazz, who is getting to her feet. She clotheslines her back into the corner. Trish punches her a few times and then climbs up the ropes to
punch her some more. Jazz gets fed up and pushes Trish off of her. She pulls Trish to her feet and backs her into the corner now. She reaches over to Edge who tags in. Edge
gets into the ring and grabs Trish by her hair. He lifts her up by her hair and throws her across the ring. He runs at her and goes to drop an elbow but she moves out of the
way. She slowly gets to her feet as Edge gets to his. She runs at him but Edge hops over her. He turns her around and slaps her across the face. Trish falls to the mat. Orton
tries to get into the ring but the referee stops him. While Orton is distracting the ref, Jazz gets in the ring and the two heels stomp on Trish. Orton finally gets out of the ring and
the referee turns around and sees both Jazz and Edge in the ring. He runs to Jazz and tells her to get out of the ring. She does so, willingly. Edge pulls Trish up by her hair and
whips her into the ring ropes. He goes for a clothesline but Trish ducks down. Edge continues running and bounces off the ropes. Orton grabs him by the hair and drops him to
the mat. Trish crawls over to her corner and tags Randy Orton in. He climbs to the top rope. Edge gets to his feet and turns around as Orton is jumping off with a flying cross
body. He covers him but Edge kicks out. Orton picks Edge up and throws him into the ropes. Edge reverses it and sends Orton into the ropes. Jazz hops off the apron and
picks up a chair. As Orton hits the ropes, Jazz swings the chair and knocks Orton in the back. Orton stumbles towards Edge and gets kicked in the stomach. Edge grabs Orton
and drops him to the mat with the Edgecution. He flips him over and gets the cover. 1...2...3!•
Cameron Cade: Once again, Edge picking up the win thanks to a foreign object and the help of Jazz.
Torrie Wilson: Where was that chair made?
Cameron Cade: Well, I really don't think it matters much.. The fact remains tha...
Torrie Wilson: Then why'd you call it a foreign object?
•Edge and Jazz regroup on the outside of the ring and begin walking up the ramp. Trish Stratus asks for a microphone.•
Trish Stratus: Jazz...Sunday at the PPV, I want your ass in this ring!
•Jazz looks over to Edge and then nods that Trish has her match.•
Cameron Cade: As tough as she may be, Trish shouldn't be getting back into the ring with Jazz.
Torrie Wilson: You're just a racist, aren't you? You think that just because Trish is a smaller woman than Jazz that she can't beat her. Isn't that
what you think, Cade?
Cameron Cade: I think that you're a moron, Torrie. Switching topics, up next we have Stacy Keibler taking on Chyna. Let's look back
now to the events that caused Stacy to do the unthinkable, and challenge the Ninth Wonder of the World.
•The titantron cuts to a clip of Chyna beating on Jeff Hardy. Soon, the video for it messes up. The titantron is left black.•
Cameron Cade: Pardon me, ladies and gentlemen, it seems as thoug.....
•The titantron comes back to life. The image is still hard to see but you can make out three people huddled behind one figure who is
seated in a chair.•
Torrie Wilson: What is that, Cade?
Cameron Cade: I don't know Torrie.
•One of them begins speaking, their voice being altered.•
Voice: This is what it has come to. This is what we must do. It's happening JR. It's happening. And there's not a damn thing you can
do about it. We're coming for you, JR. We're coming fo....
•The video feed cuts out. The camera shifts back to Cade and Torrie looking dumbfounded.•
•DX's theme hits the speakers as Chyna walks out onto the stage, receiving a resounding amount of boos. She walks down the ramp.
Stacy Keibler runs out onto the stage as Chyna makes her way to the ring. She runs down the ramp and knocks Chyna off the ring apron. She grabs Chyna by her hair and
throws her into the ring steps. Chyna slowly gets to her feet as Stacy runs at her. Chyna does a drop-toe hold onto Stacy causing her to smash her head on the ring apron.
Chyna pushes Stacy into the ring and slides herself in. She pulls Stacy to her feet and whips her into the ropes. Stacy runs back and gets knocked down by a stiff clothesline.
Chyna picks her up and mocks Stacy by slapping her a few times. She pushes Stacy into the corner of the ring and begins hitting her with right hands. She whips Stacy across
the ring and goes for her back-handspring. Stacy moves out of the way and Chyna collides with the turnbuckle. Stacy kicks Chyna in the stomach a few times and grabs her by
the throat. She tries to pick her up but Chyna scratches at her eyes. She pushes Stacy away and runs at her. She spears her to the canvas. Chyna picks Stacy up and slams
her back down to the mat. Chyna walks over to the turnbuckle where the pipe is hanging and begins climbing. Jeff Hardy runs down the ramp and slides into the ring. He
distracts the ref and tosses a pipe to Stacy. She picks it up and walks over to Chyna. She smashes the pipe across Chyna's back, causing her to fall off the turnbuckle. Stacy
climbs the turnbuckle and grabs the pipe. She tosses the one Jeff gave her out of the ring and stands above Chyna, making it look like she just knocked her out with the pipe.
The ref turns around and sees this then calls for the bell.•
Cameron Cade: Well, it was a smart move.
Torrie Wilson: Will you ever admit it when a good guy cheats? Ever?
Cameron Cade: Not when I like them.
Torrie Wilson: You're such a tool, Cade.
•The camera cuts to Jim Ross sitting in his office. Hulk Hogan and The Rock barge in.•
Jim Ross: Excuse me?
Hulk Hogan: Ya know something brah, The Rock and I, we want a match at No Mercy. That no good Spike Dudley screwed me out of my
European title shot.
The Rock: And The Rock was never given a title shot. So what The Rock wants to know is, What YOU gonna do, Jim Ross, about the
fact that your two biggest stars in the WWF are not scheduled for the PPV?
Jim Ross: I think I'll be able to manage. Now will you please..
Hulk Hogan: We aren't leaving until we get what we came here for, brah.
Jim Ross: Fine! You want a match at the PPV? You got it. The European title battle royal is scrapped. It's you two against Test and
Spike. The winners get to battle it out for the European title the next night on Raw. Now get the hell out of here.
The Rock: The Rock thanks you.
•The camera goes back to Cade and Torrie.•
Torrie Wilson: Why doesn't he just tell them no?
Cameron Cade: Torrie, JR is doing the best that he can do. He's got a lot on his mind, especially after that footage that we just saw.
Someone is threatening the WWF and he's got no clue who it is.
Torrie Wilson: SO! It doesn't mean he's got to shove Hogan and Rocky down our throats!
•"Are You Ready?" The familiar theme of DX hits the speakers as Shawn Michaels, Triple H, and Billy Gunn walk out onto the stage.
They pose on the stage for a bit and then walk down the ramp. As they get into the ring, RVD's music hits. He walks out onto the stage and down the ramp halfway until Chris
