Footage of the contract signing from SmackDown! last week was shown as well as Stone Cold's interjection!
Michael Cole caught up with Ric Flair in the back before the show and Natch told Michael that he had no second thoughts about what he had done this past week on SmackDown! Michael asked Ric if he realized the ramifications of the nWo coming to the Federation, and Flair acknowledged that their arrival could be a big problem!
King and J.R. announced the main event for the night as The Rock and Stone Cold would team to take on Chris Jericho and The Undertaker!
INTERVIEW - TRIPLE H:
The Game came to the ring seething as the result of Kurt Angle's attack on him from SmackDown! last week and told the fans that he had been waiting for the last four days to get his hands on Angle, but that he couldn't wait any longer! Triple H then called Angle to the ring, but that's who answered his call, if you catch my drift.... sucka!
That's right, Booker T made his way onto the stage and told Triple H that the two of them shared something in common as they both had a lot of pent-up rage. Aside from that, however, the BookerMan told Hunter that the big difference between the two of them was that he was a winner and Hunter was a loser! The Cerebral Assassin had heard enough at that point and the two tied up in the aisleway in an impromptu match-up!
TRIPLE H def. BOOKER T:
The Game and the BookerMan locked up in the aisleway before the match even got underway and back in the ring, Triple H took over. However, Booker's feet eventually got the better of the former 4-time WWF Champion as Booker scored with a sidekick to the face. The number-one best-seller continued to punish Hunter on the mat and nearly scored his second consecutive win over Hunter with his relentless mat assault.
Hunter came back at Booker after a takedown by choking the former Harlem Heater out on the canvas. Booker escaped a Pedigree attempt and nearly connected with the axekick. However, Triple H had the move scouted, sidestepping it and landing the Pedigree! Hunter rolled over into the pin, but before he could get the three, Kurt Angle sprinted into the ring and attacked The Game from behind! Angle floored Hunter with the Olympic Slam and left Triple H lying in the middle of the ring!
Triple H was shown in the back on the hunt for Kurt Angle.
Torrie noticed that Stacy had raided her stash of lipstick when Billy and Chuck barged in on the Divas in the back to proudly display their new Billy and Chuck poster calendar! However, the ladies seemed less than impressed, but Billy and Chuck just offered that they were jealous! Stacy and Torrie told the two that they could outpose them any day, so Billy and Chuck challenged the blonde bombshells to a posedown on SmackDown!
Triple H was still looking for Kurt in the back when he came upon Mr. McMahon's locker room, which was being guarded by a pair of policemen! Kurt emerged from the boss' locker room with a smile on his face and he was even more thrilled when he informed an irate Game that not only would they be meeting at No Way Out, but that Triple H's title shot at WrestleMania would be on the line!
ROB VAN DAM def. BUH BUH RAY DUDLEY:
Buh Buh gained the advantage after D'Von hung RVD out to dry on the top rope. RVD came back at his larger adversary by countering a charging Buh Buh in the corner then scoring with Rolling Thunder shortly thereafter! D'Von and Stacy hopped up onto the ring apron to distract the referee, allowing Buh Buh to sneak in a slam and set Van Dam up for Whassuuuuuup?!?!?
However, the official caught D'Von going to the top and he sent Stacy and the Dudley to the back! Buh Buh was unphased, though, as after the Buh Buh Bomb, he gained a nearfall. Buh Buh continued to maul Van Dam on the mat before heading to the second rope to try for a Senton Bomb! RVD caught Buh Buh with a kick to the gut and sent the 300-pounder crashing to the mat before barreling down on Buh Buh with the 5-Star to pick up the win!
After the match, Goldust appeared on the screen and told RVD that he was the star that the Golden One was after. The 24-Karat SuperStar told RVD that his dreams were about to be shattered, and as RVD watched the TitanTron, Goldust attacked from behind! Goldust beat RVD on the canvas then propped him up in the corner before kicking a field goal that Adam Vinetieri would have been proud of!
Triple H was in the back irate over Angle's announcement and was still fuming over it in the back when he noticed his beaming wife! Hunter asked what she was so happy about and Steph told Hunter that he had an announcement that would change his whole world!
Michael Cole caught up with The Undertaker after footage was shown of The Rock Rock Bottoming him through a table last week on SmackDown! Good ol' M.C. asked for the Phenom's reaction, but Taker bellowed that it was none of his business! Taker said that he smelled fear coming from Michael and that he liked it because fear went hand-in-hand with respect. The Badass told Michael that Rock had disrespected him and that tonight he was going to teach both Rock and Austin respect! Chris Jericho swung by and told Taker that he respected the Phenom and that he had Taker's back tonight if he had any trouble with Rock and Austin!
Tazz and Spike headed to the ring.
TRIPLE THREAT ELIMINATION WWF TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH
WWF Tag Team Champions TAZZ & SPIKE DUDLEY def. THE APA and BILLY & CHUCK to retain the WWF Tag Team Titles:
Tazz was rolling early against Palumbo after Chuck took a moment to pose following a takedown. The One Man Crime Spree took Chuck to the mat with the Angry Man's Clothesline then a T-Bone Tazzplex set up a double stomach stomp from the top rope by Spike! However, Billy and Chuck turned the tide in their favor after Chuck countered an Acid Drop, tossing Spike almost all of the way across the ring!
Billy and Chuck bullied Spike for the next few minutes, taking advantage of their size advantage until Spike was able to make the tag to Faarooq. The former Seminole turned Billy inside out with a short-powerslam off of the ropes then Faarooq hooked up with Bradshaw for a series of double-team moves. After flattening Billy with a double spinebuster, the APA pasted Chuck to the mat with their trademark double powerbomb! However, Billy came off of the ropes and caught Bradshaw with the FameAsser as Bradshaw went to scoop Chuck up! The FameAsser was all Billy needed to get the pin and eliminate the APA!
The Acolytes left dejected, but Bradshaw got a final lick in on Billy as he tripped the former degenerate from the arena floor! Billy stumbled into the waiting arms of Spike, who scored with the Acid Drop out of nowhere and three seconds later, the unlikely tag champions had chalked up another successful title defense!
Vince was shown heading to the ring!
INTERRVIEW - WWF Co-Owner VINCE MCMAHON:
Vince came to the ring in a huff and proceeded to show the footage of the contract signing gone awry on SmackDown! After showing the footage, Vince called Ric out to the ring and the Nature Boy shortly obliged the request.
Vince told Ric that he thought Natch was all about the fans and that he was under the impression that Ric was going to make the right decision for the fans. Vince cut to the quick, though, and told Flair to just admit that he didn't care about the fans; he only cared about Ric Flair! Mr. McMahon told Ric that he had too much power and that since he was in a position side-by-side with the great Vince McMahon, he just couldn't give it up!
Ric told Vince that he did what he did last week for the fans, a statement that he found hard to believe. Vince said that the fans had no idea what was good for them, let alone Flair, but now, there was no way around what Vince had to do. The boss directed Flair's attention to the TitanTron where Vince had a movie of Hogan, Nash and Hall playing, telling Ric that now there was no way out of the nWo's injection into the Federation!
Patterson and Brisco are walking in the back when they bump into Ric Flair's longtime friend, Arn Anderson. Arn said he had known Flair for a long time, but he thought his friend had made the wrong decision this time around!
WWF INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH
WWF Intercontinental Champion WILLIAM REGAL def. RIKISHI (via DQ) to retain the WWF Intercontinental Title:
Rikishi punished Regal to get the match underway, but the Goodwill Ambasssador quickly turned the tide with a kick to the head before blitzing Rikishi in the corner. However, a sidekick by Rikishi dropped the IC champ and set up a running bottom splash off of the ropes by the Samoan Giant!
Rikshi dragged Regal over to the corner and set him up for the Banzai Drop, but the ex-Alliance Commish moved out of the way. Regal headed over to the corner and dug into his trunks for the brass knuckles, but before he could connect with the weapon, Edge came flying out of nowhere and laced into Regal, causing the DQ! A slew of officials poured from the back to break up the melee and Edge stuck around just long enough to see Regal get a StinkFace from Rikishi in the ring!
Coach was shown outside of The Rock's dressing room.
DDP was shown at WWFNY with his newly-won WWF European Title in hand!
Coach caught up with Rock in the back. Rock was not exactly in the mood to talk about Vince's announcement about the nWo since he was more concerned about his feud with The Undertaker! Rock said that he couldn't understand why Taker ws so upset with him just for pointing out that Maven had knocked him out of the Rumble, but what he did understand is that come No Way Out, Taker was on a course to go ONE..... ON ONE..... WITH THE GREAT ONE!
Rock told Taker that there were a couple of things that he could do to get prepared for the Phenom. One would be to go into the tag match tonight after crooning a version of Viva Rock Vegas to the Las Vegas crowd! A second option would be for him to do what Taker would've wanted and just walk away. Rock stepped out at that point, prompting Coach to start to close out the interview, but Rock came back in and snatched the mic from Coach before belting out Viva Rock Vegas!
Stephanie was shown heading to the ring for her big announcement!
INTERVIEW - STEPHANIE MCMAHON-HELMSLEY:
Steph got to the ring and wasted no time in calling out her husband. Once Hunter got to the ring, Stephanie said that the interview she had done last week with J.R. had prompted her to re-evaluate her marriage. Steph told Hunter that the only way that they could prove their love to one another to the world would be by renewing their wedding vows next week on Raw!
Steph told her husband that she had waited until they got to Las Vegas to tell him about her plan because it was in Las Vegas that their marriage had begun! Hunter told Steph that he wouldn't go through with her idea, though, because he was tired of their dirty laundry being aired out in front of the entire world!
The shocker of the night was yet to come, though, as Steph pleaded with Hunter, and after Hunter barked at her and asked why they should go through with this, the Billion Dollar Princess told her husband that there was a little Game on the way! Yes, that's right, Stephanie is pregnant! A bewildered Triple H staggered to the middle of the ring where Steph pleaded with him to renew their vows for the baby, prompting Hunter to scoop his wife into his arms and give her a massive hug!
At the onset of the Trish/Jazz match, Hunter and Steph were shown leaving the arena! The Game wanted Steph to avoid any undue stress as he carried EVERYTHING out of the building for her!
WWF WOMENS' TITLE MATCH
JAZZ def. WWF Womens' Champion TRISH STRATUS to become the new WWF Womens' Champion:
Trish tried to get the jump on her challenger by punishing Jazz with stiff kicks, but the ex-ECW alum used her strength to gain the advantage. Jazz mauled Trish on the mat then locked in a series of submission holds. First, Jazz tried a modified STF then a double-arm chicken wing, but Trish squirmed free.
Trish went for the Stratusfaction bulldog, which Jazz countered into a belly-to-back suplex. Trish valiantly tried to hold Jazz off, but Jazz finally polished Trish off with a fisherman's suplex into a brainbuster to garner the win, making Jazz the new Womens' titlist!
Undisputed Champion CHRIS JERICHO & THE UNDERTAKER def. THE ROCK & STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN:
Rock and Austin went after Y2J and Taker on the floor, beating away on the pair until Austin and Jericho paired up back in the ring. Austin held the advantage until Rock checked in, and after the Great One disposed of the undisputed champion, Rock stopped to jaw with Taker on the apron. Taker made a move as though he was going to come into the ring, but Jericho took advantage of the diversion to attack Rock from behind!
Taker checked in at that point, but Rock fired back until a knee to the gut stopped him in his tracks! The Great One would not quit, though, and the Brahma Bull was finally able to cause enough separation to get to Austin for the tag. Stone Cold came in smoking as he took Taker down with the Lou Thesz press!
Austin tried to keep the offense going against Jericho, even locking in the Walls of Jericho, but Taker broke the hold and the Millennium Bug moved out of the way of a charging Austin, sending him crashing shoulder-first into the ringpost! Austin managed to make the tag to Rock, and after the Brahma Bull escaped the Walls of Jericho, Austin came back in and hit the Stunner!
Taker broke up the pin and the match broke down at that point as all four men brawled on the outside. Rock and Jericho got paired back up in the ring where Rock first locked in the Sharpshooter after a spinebuster, only to have the hold broken up by Taker, then, after Rock drilled Jericho with the Rock Bottom, Taker yanked the referee out of the ring! Taker shook free of Austin just long enough to get a steel pipe off of his motorcycle before introducing it to the skull of The Rock! Jericho slid over for the pin, giving his team the win, and as Raw came to a close, Taker strolled up the ramp with a smug grin stretching across his lips!

KR, I don't think anyone'll go as far as reporting it, and even if they did he wouldn't get banned for it.

Michael Cole caught up with The Undertaker after footage was shown of The Rock Rock Bottoming him through a table last week on SmackDown! Good ol' M.C. asked for the Phenom's reaction, but Taker bellowed that it was none of his business! Taker said that he smelled fear coming from Michael and that he liked it because fear went hand-in-hand with respect. The Badass told Michael that Rock had disrespected him and that tonight he was going to teach both Rock and Austin respect! Chris Jericho swung by and told Taker that he respected the Phenom and that he had Taker's back tonight if he had any trouble with Rock and Austin!
Tazz and Spike headed to the ring.
TRIPLE THREAT ELIMINATION WWF TAG TEAM TITLE MATCH
WWF Tag Team Champions TAZZ & SPIKE DUDLEY def. THE APA and BILLY & CHUCK to retain the WWF Tag Team Titles:
Tazz was rolling early against Palumbo after Chuck took a moment to pose following a takedown. The One Man Crime Spree took Chuck to the mat with the Angry Man's Clothesline then a T-Bone Tazzplex set up a double stomach stomp from the top rope by Spike! However, Billy and Chuck turned the tide in their favor after Chuck countered an Acid Drop, tossing Spike almost all of the way across the ring!
Billy and Chuck bullied Spike for the next few minutes, taking advantage of their size advantage until Spike was able to make the tag to Faarooq. The former Seminole turned Billy inside out with a short-powerslam off of the ropes then Faarooq hooked up with Bradshaw for a series of double-team moves. After flattening Billy with a double spinebuster, the APA pasted Chuck to the mat with their trademark double powerbomb! However, Billy came off of the ropes and caught Bradshaw with the FameAsser as Bradshaw went to scoop Chuck up! The FameAsser was all Billy needed to get the pin and eliminate the APA!
The Acolytes left dejected, but Bradshaw got a final lick in on Billy as he tripped the former degenerate from the arena floor! Billy stumbled into the waiting arms of Spike, who scored with the Acid Drop out of nowhere and three seconds later, the unlikely tag champions had chalked up another successful title defense!
Vince was shown heading to the ring!
INTERRVIEW - WWF Co-Owner VINCE MCMAHON:
Vince came to the ring in a huff and proceeded to show the footage of the contract signing gone awry on SmackDown! After showing the footage, Vince called Ric out to the ring and the Nature Boy shortly obliged the request.
Vince told Ric that he thought Natch was all about the fans and that he was under the impression that Ric was going to make the right decision for the fans. Vince cut to the quick, though, and told Flair to just admit that he didn't care about the fans; he only cared about Ric Flair! Mr. McMahon told Ric that he had too much power and that since he was in a position side-by-side with the great Vince McMahon, he just couldn't give it up!
Ric told Vince that he did what he did last week for the fans, a statement that he found hard to believe. Vince said that the fans had no idea what was good for them, let alone Flair, but now, there was no way around what Vince had to do. The boss directed Flair's attention to the TitanTron where Vince had a movie of Hogan, Nash and Hall playing, telling Ric that now there was no way out of the nWo's injection into the Federation!
Patterson and Brisco are walking in the back when they bump into Ric Flair's longtime friend, Arn Anderson. Arn said he had known Flair for a long time, but he thought his friend had made the wrong decision this time around!
WWF INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH
WWF Intercontinental Champion WILLIAM REGAL def. RIKISHI (via DQ) to retain the WWF Intercontinental Title:
Rikishi punished Regal to get the match underway, but the Goodwill Ambasssador quickly turned the tide with a kick to the head before blitzing Rikishi in the corner. However, a sidekick by Rikishi dropped the IC champ and set up a running bottom splash off of the ropes by the Samoan Giant!
Rikshi dragged Regal over to the corner and set him up for the Banzai Drop, but the ex-Alliance Commish moved out of the way. Regal headed over to the corner and dug into his trunks for the brass knuckles, but before he could connect with the weapon, Edge came flying out of nowhere and laced into Regal, causing the DQ! A slew of officials poured from the back to break up the melee and Edge stuck around just long enough to see Regal get a StinkFace from Rikishi in the ring!
Coach was shown outside of The Rock's dressing room.
DDP was shown at WWFNY with his newly-won WWF European Title in hand!
Coach caught up with Rock in the back. Rock was not exactly in the mood to talk about Vince's announcement about the nWo since he was more concerned about his feud with The Undertaker! Rock said that he couldn't understand why Taker ws so upset with him just for pointing out that Maven had knocked him out of the Rumble, but what he did understand is that come No Way Out, Taker was on a course to go ONE..... ON ONE..... WITH THE GREAT ONE!
Rock told Taker that there were a couple of things that he could do to get prepared for the Phenom. One would be to go into the tag match tonight after crooning a version of Viva Rock Vegas to the Las Vegas crowd! A second option would be for him to do what Taker would've wanted and just walk away. Rock stepped out at that point, prompting Coach to start to close out the interview, but Rock came back in and snatched the mic from Coach before belting out Viva Rock Vegas!
Stephanie was shown heading to the ring for her big announcement!
INTERVIEW - STEPHANIE MCMAHON-HELMSLEY:
Steph got to the ring and wasted no time in calling out her husband. Once Hunter got to the ring, Stephanie said that the interview she had done last week with J.R. had prompted her to re-evaluate her marriage. Steph told Hunter that the only way that they could prove their love to one another to the world would be by renewing their wedding vows next week on Raw!
Steph told her husband that she had waited until they got to Las Vegas to tell him about her plan because it was in Las Vegas that their marriage had begun! Hunter told Steph that he wouldn't go through with her idea, though, because he was tired of their dirty laundry being aired out in front of the entire world!
The shocker of the night was yet to come, though, as Steph pleaded with Hunter, and after Hunter barked at her and asked why they should go through with this, the Billion Dollar Princess told her husband that there was a little Game on the way! Yes, that's right, Stephanie is pregnant! A bewildered Triple H staggered to the middle of the ring where Steph pleaded with him to renew their vows for the baby, prompting Hunter to scoop his wife into his arms and give her a massive hug!
At the onset of the Trish/Jazz match, Hunter and Steph were shown leaving the arena! The Game wanted Steph to avoid any undue stress as he carried EVERYTHING out of the building for her!
WWF WOMENS' TITLE MATCH
JAZZ def. WWF Womens' Champion TRISH STRATUS to become the new WWF Womens' Champion:
Trish tried to get the jump on her challenger by punishing Jazz with stiff kicks, but the ex-ECW alum used her strength to gain the advantage. Jazz mauled Trish on the mat then locked in a series of submission holds. First, Jazz tried a modified STF then a double-arm chicken wing, but Trish squirmed free.
Trish went for the Stratusfaction bulldog, which Jazz countered into a belly-to-back suplex. Trish valiantly tried to hold Jazz off, but Jazz finally polished Trish off with a fisherman's suplex into a brainbuster to garner the win, making Jazz the new Womens' titlist!
Undisputed Champion CHRIS JERICHO & THE UNDERTAKER def. THE ROCK & STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN:
Rock and Austin went after Y2J and Taker on the floor, beating away on the pair until Austin and Jericho paired up back in the ring. Austin held the advantage until Rock checked in, and after the Great One disposed of the undisputed champion, Rock stopped to jaw with Taker on the apron. Taker made a move as though he was going to come into the ring, but Jericho took advantage of the diversion to attack Rock from behind!
Taker checked in at that point, but Rock fired back until a knee to the gut stopped him in his tracks! The Great One would not quit, though, and the Brahma Bull was finally able to cause enough separation to get to Austin for the tag. Stone Cold came in smoking as he took Taker down with the Lou Thesz press!
Austin tried to keep the offense going against Jericho, even locking in the Walls of Jericho, but Taker broke the hold and the Millennium Bug moved out of the way of a charging Austin, sending him crashing shoulder-first into the ringpost! Austin managed to make the tag to Rock, and after the Brahma Bull escaped the Walls of Jericho, Austin came back in and hit the Stunner!
Taker broke up the pin and the match broke down at that point as all four men brawled on the outside. Rock and Jericho got paired back up in the ring where Rock first locked in the Sharpshooter after a spinebuster, only to have the hold broken up by Taker, then, after Rock drilled Jericho with the Rock Bottom, Taker yanked the referee out of the ring! Taker shook free of Austin just long enough to get a steel pipe off of his motorcycle before introducing it to the skull of The Rock! Jericho slid over for the pin, giving his team the win, and as Raw came to a close, Taker strolled up the ramp with a smug grin stretching across his lips!

Michael Cole caught up with Ric Flair in the back before the show and Natch told Michael that he had no second thoughts about what he had done this past week on SmackDown! Michael asked Ric if he realized the ramifications of the nWo coming to the Federation, and Flair acknowledged that their arrival could be a big problem!
King and J.R. announced the main event for the night as The Rock and Stone Cold would team to take on Chris Jericho and The Undertaker!
INTERVIEW - TRIPLE H:
The Game came to the ring seething as the result of Kurt Angle's attack on him from SmackDown! last week and told the fans that he had been waiting for the last four days to get his hands on Angle, but that he couldn't wait any longer! Triple H then called Angle to the ring, but that's who answered his call, if you catch my drift.... sucka!
That's right, Booker T made his way onto the stage and told Triple H that the two of them shared something in common as they both had a lot of pent-up rage. Aside from that, however, the BookerMan told Hunter that the big difference between the two of them was that he was a winner and Hunter was a loser! The Cerebral Assassin had heard enough at that point and the two tied up in the aisleway in an impromptu match-up!
TRIPLE H def. BOOKER T:
The Game and the BookerMan locked up in the aisleway before the match even got underway and back in the ring, Triple H took over. However, Booker's feet eventually got the better of the former 4-time WWF Champion as Booker scored with a sidekick to the face. The number-one best-seller continued to punish Hunter on the mat and nearly scored his second consecutive win over Hunter with his relentless mat assault.
Hunter came back at Booker after a takedown by choking the former Harlem Heater out on the canvas. Booker escaped a Pedigree attempt and nearly connected with the axekick. However, Triple H had the move scouted, sidestepping it and landing the Pedigree! Hunter rolled over into the pin, but before he could get the three, Kurt Angle sprinted into the ring and attacked The Game from behind! Angle floored Hunter with the Olympic Slam and left Triple H lying in the middle of the ring!
Triple H was shown in the back on the hunt for Kurt Angle.
Torrie noticed that Stacy had raided her stash of lipstick when Billy and Chuck barged in on the Divas in the back to proudly display their new Billy and Chuck poster calendar! However, the ladies seemed less than impressed, but Billy and Chuck just offered that they were jealous! Stacy and Torrie told the two that they could outpose them any day, so Billy and Chuck challenged the blonde bombshells to a posedown on SmackDown!
Triple H was still looking for Kurt in the back when he came upon Mr. McMahon's locker room, which was being guarded by a pair of policemen! Kurt emerged from the boss' locker room with a smile on his face and he was even more thrilled when he informed an irate Game that not only would they be meeting at No Way Out, but that Triple H's title shot at WrestleMania would be on the line!
ROB VAN DAM def. BUH BUH RAY DUDLEY:
Buh Buh gained the advantage after D'Von hung RVD out to dry on the top rope. RVD came back at his larger adversary by countering a charging Buh Buh in the corner then scoring with Rolling Thunder shortly thereafter! D'Von and Stacy hopped up onto the ring apron to distract the referee, allowing Buh Buh to sneak in a slam and set Van Dam up for Whassuuuuuup?!?!?
However, the official caught D'Von going to the top and he sent Stacy and the Dudley to the back! Buh Buh was unphased, though, as after the Buh Buh Bomb, he gained a nearfall. Buh Buh continued to maul Van Dam on the mat before heading to the second rope to try for a Senton Bomb! RVD caught Buh Buh with a kick to the gut and sent the 300-pounder crashing to the mat before barreling down on Buh Buh with the 5-Star to pick up the win!
After the match, Goldust appeared on the screen and told RVD that he was the star that the Golden One was after. The 24-Karat SuperStar told RVD that his dreams were about to be shattered, and as RVD watched the TitanTron, Goldust attacked from behind! Goldust beat RVD on the canvas then propped him up in the corner before kicking a field goal that Adam Vinetieri would have been proud of!
Triple H was in the back irate over Angle's announcement and was still fuming over it in the back when he noticed his beaming wife! Hunter asked what she was so happy about and Steph told Hunter that he had an announcement that would change his whole world!
Michael Cole caught up with The Undertaker after footage was shown of The Rock Rock Bottoming him through a table last week on SmackDown! Good ol' M.C. asked for the Phenom's reaction, but Taker bellowed that it was none of his business! Taker said that he smelled fear coming from Michael and that he liked it because fear went hand-in-hand with respect. The Badass told Michael that Rock had disrespected him and that tonight he was going to teach both Rock and Austin respect! Chris Jericho swung by and told Taker that he respected the Phenom and that he had Taker's back tonight if he had any trouble with Rock and Austin!
