Live from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Hosted by Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler
WWF World Champion Triple H makes his way to the ring with Stephanie McMahon. After winning one the best brawling matches in the history of the WWF, Triple H is greeted with an asshole chant. Stephanie has the mic first and says the WWF Title should not have been defened at such a demeaning level but Triple H stooped to Cactus Jack's level and retained the title. Triple H has the floor now and starts out by saying "Cactus Jack I'm not out here to put you over, not by a long shot, but you have got to be the most sadistic freak I have ever seen in my life!" Triple H continues on by saying he does not expect Cactus to be at Raw tonight then brings up WrestleMania 2000 and "The Rock vs. The Game". Triple H is stressing that The Rock better get his ass in shape when he is interrupted by The Big Show. The Big Show is out because a crime has been committed; Rock's feet hit the ground first last night at the Royal Rumble. The Big Show now tells Triple H he can produce video proof that The Rock's feet hit first and when he does he wants a number one contenders match with the The Rock. The Rock out now to contradict The Big Show. Triple H tells The Rock the main event tonight will be a handicap match versus Triple H and The Big Show. If The Rock can find a partner it will be turned into a tag team match. Triple H doubts he will be able to find a partner after he called the entire roster jabronis.
Crash and Hardcore Hollyare standing outside the women's lockerroom and Crash convinces him to go and get Chyna because she cost him the IC Title last night. Hardcore goes in and chases out Chyna. They get into an argument and Hardcore gives Chyna a cheap shot. The altercation is broken up by Chris Jericho and some officials.
Al Snow is now shown talking with Steve Blackman in that back. Al tells Steve needs a new look and they need a tag team name. Al suggests Blackman dress up like Dracula because he "has the personality of a dead man", Al also suggests the name "head-cheese" and "head-games" giving Blackman a block of cheese and a board game respectively.

Terri comes in to prevent more damage done to her team and she gets powerbomber from the top rope through a table set up in the ring. EMTs tend to Terri after the move and when Raw returns from commercial break. The injury is played out great as Buh Buh protected her very well on the top-rope move. Throughout the night her condition is updated. Final update is Cole reporting from a local hospital before the main event that her injuries are not known.
