Raw starts with highlights of last week's WWF Tag Team title match from Smackdown.

Then they show highlights of when Vince was telling Rock and Chris Jericho to shake hands (from the Rebellion PPV).

Opening Segment

Vince McMahon comes out. Right here in this very ring tonight, Y2J Chris Jericho goes one on one with the Rock for the wCw title. Vince is expecting them to beat the hell out of each other. He hopes that after the match, they would have settled their differences. He is here tonight to make a major announcement. An announcement that will make WWF history. He said last week, Shane had an announcement last week saying a wrestler will defect and join the Alliance, and it was Kurt Angle. Angle's turn wounded the WWF. Nonetheless, his announcement tonight, is not to wound the Alliance, but to be the death nail for the Alliance. He said someone from the Alliance is joining the WWF tonight! It's not only someone from the Alliance, it's someone from team Alliance. That individual will join the WWF at the Survivor Series and will make WWF history. Vince said perhaps he should let us know who it is. He said I'm Vince McMahon, I can say anything I want, do anything I want! That individual is Stone Cold Steve Austin! He said maybe he shouldn't of said it but he did.

Austin's music hits and he comes out to the ring. Austin tells Vince to shut up. He tells Vince that he has a big mouth. Who the hell do you think you are? "I'm Vince McMahon", Austin tells him to shut up, what! He says Vince talks trash. Stone Cold Steve Austin has got to be Stone Cold Steve Austin and he delivers the stunner on Vince. After the stunner, Vince was trying to get up and he was smiling.
