## Details

* Mankind kicks off the show to huge cheers, he doesn't say a word as he gets in the cheers, he just puts the title up high for even more cheers by the crowd "....Mick Foley has done it. Last week my goal continued riding high as I WON THIS DAMN CHAMPIONSHIP, Undertaker can come with whatever he has at me, any MOD member, any screwup to take my belt." GONG, Taker is the only one coming out, he says he's not running anything around here, the higher power is making all of his decisions and he has decided that at Backlash, The Rock will be having his rematch against Mankind in an I quit contest" Mankind asks why the hell Taker isn't set on winning this title, Taker gets on his face "Not yet...but the time WILL soon come." "WHY. NOT. NOW. Higher Power is running things along with Vince even if they ain't showing their face, MOD had 2 goals, get higher power to ownership and have Taker win the title, SO WHY NOT NOW." Taker says "our goals are beyond your understanding, Foley, this isn't the right time to strike, but when we do, you'll know it, the whole locker room will know it and all these fans will be bowing down to us." Mankind is tired of listening to it AND STARTS HITTING TAKER WITH THE MICROPHONE, BIG BRAWL
* Henry pretty much destroys the lightheaviweight champion being pissed that The Union is done and he's left floundering doing nothing, Shane Mcmahon watches backstage as he says that he needs the strongest men to be in his team and he is watching with a close eye every match from now on to recruit people
* Undertaker says that the higher power told him that any disrespect to Taker leads to punishment, if they wanna face Taker they don't do it with cheap blows like Mankind did, therefore Mankind will be punished as Taker introduces the Scramble Match, 2 minutes a new wrestler enters, 10 minute time limit, whoever is the last man to get a pinfall within the time limit wins the match BUT everyone who manages to pin Mankind before that will get a WWF title shot in the near future
* Owen Hart backstage says that tonight he'll talk about his future in this company, Mark Henry approaches him and just decides to throw him through a table
* Terri Runnels returns and says "about 2 months ago my life was ruined by my father Dusty Rhodes, I have been struggling since then with depression and I just don't have anything in my life to look forward to, Tori comes out with Too Much and they start to mock her, Terri responds with a slap to the face and tearing away Tori's clothes WHEN KANE shows up on the stage as Terri was trying to leave, Holly Cousins show up with chairs trying to save Terri in a face turn but they quickly get mauled by Kane although Terri was able to escape
* Shane approaches Mark Henry backstage saying he's liking this attitude and tries to recruit him for his team, Henry refuses saying he'll never align himself with Vince and he'll never get on Taker's business, it's a death wish waiting to happen
* The Blue Meanie comes out asking why Al had to make that decision, Al Snow says that BWO is going NOWHERE, he needs to think about himself, Blue Guy says that BWO IS going somewhere and he just needed to wait and see, he has betrayed them and the BWO can't handle betrayals, all of BWO come out and surround Al Snow but then The Corporation's theme hits and BWO run away, The Corporation actually has Al's back
* Vince starts a promo in the ring saying he's tired of these low lives ruining his show and now being THE TOP CHAMPS? He hates this idea that Shane has that only Mankind can take down Undertaker when they have a full brand of corporators waiting to end that man, they argue for a bit when A BLACK SILLOUTE SHOWS UP ON THE TITANTRON "I am the higher power, and Vince, and especially Shane I want you all to listen very closely, at Backlash Undertaker, Kane and The Big Show want to destroy 3 members of your alliance to take down MOD, if you are unable to give us 3 men that have signed to be in this alliance, then we will destroy your entire roster in just 1 night as I will take over as the sole owner of WWF." AN ULTIMATUM HAS BEEN GIVEN, Vince says that this is all on Shane's hands now, Shane says he's been TRYING but no one wants to enter due to their fear, Vince says I DON'T CARE, HANDLE THIS SHIT, I GOT A LOT ON MY PLATE ALREADY LIKE HAVING TO WORK WITH THAT CUNT
* Shawn Michaels comes out as a surprise to a pop and thanks everybody in the locker room, he says the past 11 years have been full of highs and lows but he's lucky to call this a home, he says while he may have retired his contract IS NOT DONE so he has decided that from now on he'll be a FULL TIME COMMENTATOR JOINING JIM ROSS AND JERRY LAWLER EVERY MONDAY NIGHT RAW
* Vince comes out to introduce the talent that will be facing Test and The Rock and he's pretty happy that Shawn is on the commentator's table because he's gonna love this, ladies and gentlemen D-GENERATION X. Out comes 2 midgets dressed as HHH and Shawn Michaels ad Vince laughs his ass off. APA attack the 2 midgets during the match saying that they stole their damn food. The Rock makes a promo saying that he only respected 1 man from The Union and that's Owen Hart, he doesn't care what Owen has to say tonight, when he gets his championship back at Backlash, he wants to face Owen Hart. And Mankind, Stone Cold, whoever needs to hear this, Mankind won more unfairly than I HAVE EVER DONE, AND YOU GUYS CHEER FOR THAT? You're all a bunch of JABRONIES
* Mark Henry approaches Shane this time and decides to accept his offer, he might have fear of Undertaker but he's more fearful that they destroy the whole roster, he still needs this job, Henry signs the contract to enter the alliance
* Mankind and British Bulldog start the match, out of nowhere a gong hits, lights low, lights back on and Mankind is BLOODIED IN THE RING, Bulldog takes that chance to pin Mankind, out comes Billy Gunn next, afterwards is Steve Blackman who manages to pin Mankind who's been suffering a lot of damage, Billy Gunn also pins Mankind, out comes Test who just unleashes on Billy Gunn as he still hates DX but he goes ahead and pins Mankind, Road Dogg is the last man to show up and he just goes wild on Billy Gunn to a surprisingly great pop, Dogg tries to pin Mankind a lot of times but Gunn is always there to stop him, Bulldog suplexes Gunn outside of the ring on concrete floor and Dogg takes that opportunity to pin Mankind with a minute left, Dogg celebrates as the only man in the ring WHEN MANKIND GETS UP AND MANDIBLE CLAWS HIM, DOGG PASSES OUT AND MANKIND MANAGES TO WIN THIS MATCH WITH UNDER 10 SECONDS TO GO
* Owen Hart enters the ring but before he can say a single word, THE COUNTDOWN IS SHOWN ON THE TITANTRON, 10 SECONDS TO GO, IT HITS ZERO AND A NEW THEME STARTS, THE TITANTRON ONLY SAYS "J E R I C H O" AS THE CROWD GOES WILD, WCW HEAVIWEIGHT CHAMPION CHRIS JERICHO IS HERE "WELCOME TO....RAW. IS. JERICHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO." Jericho does a great promo shitting on all things WWF, The Corporation, Mankind, Ministry of Darkness, BWO, he even does a dig on Stone Cold, He takes a dig on Owen Hart as he says "Owen, I interrupted you specifically because who cares about what announcment you have, I am targeting you because as we all know, I can take on a Hart easily." Owen goes for a move on Jericho but he codebreakers him standing tall having just debuted
