Opening Segment

Eric Bischoff comes out and says "Welcome to Eric Bischoff's Monday Night RAW." He promises us a very historic evening. He will combine two titles into one. Hardcore champion, Tommy Dreamer, faces the new IC champion, RVD. In this ring later tonight, we will honor a WWE hall of famer. Eric Bischoff then introduces the new WWE Undisputed champion, Brock Lesnar.

Brock and Paul Heyman walk to the ring. Heyman says that they stand here tonight on the sacred ground... then people started chanting "Rocky." "We stand here tonight, on the scared ground of the world's most famous arena, MSG." You can take Sammartino, Billy Graham, Hollywood Hulk Hogan, you can combine them all, and they still don't equal Brock Lesnar. He said that he told us that Brock was the next big thing, and none of us would listen. He told us many things and we didn't listen. But it all became true. Brock takes the microphone and says that he's only 25 years old and he is the youngest WWE champion in history. He says that nobody can beat him.

Shawn Michaels' music hits. Triple H comes out and says that it's the last time we'll hear that song again. He said that last night at SummerSlam, he crippled Shawn Michaels. HBK doesn't belong in the same ring as him. Now, HBK will never get in the ring again. As a matter of fact, HBK will probably never walk again.

HHH says 25 years old, just a boy, the undisputed champion of the world. HHH said that Brock wouldn't be champion if it wasn't of him. He softened the Rock for him last week. HHH said last week that when Brock shows up on RAW as WWE champion, that he would be waiting for him. HHH says that Brock owns him. HHH asks Brock if he is man enough to play the game. HHH gets in his face. Undertaker's music hits and he comes out.

Undertaker says that the way he sees it, HHH got it all wrong. Undertaker should get first crack at young blood. As the #1 contender, Undertaker needs to know if Brock is the next big thing, or the next big bitch? HHH and Brock attack the Undertaker. Then HHH looks at Brock. Undertaker fought back. HHH gets clotheslined to the outside. Undertaker delivers a big boot to Brock and Brock goes to the outside. HHH comes in, looks at Taker and leaves. Basically, Undertaker cleaned house in the opening segment. It's still unclear who is the #1 contender.
