Raw opening
Chris Jericho greeted everyone to his show: Raw Is Jericho. On the Highlight Reel set, Y2J introduced the Queen of the night to the crowd, since he is the King, Trish Stratus (dressed as a Princess or a Queen)! Trish explained that added to the fact that she was the Queen of the night she would soon be the Queen of the Ring as well, hence she has to get accustomed to the uniform as it would soon be hers.
Y2J announced that "H3" wouldn't wrestle tonight, no 'cause he found him a better job to do for which he was skilled: selling hotdogs in the hall! Jericho made him appear on his Jeritron 5,000 (he took the time to thank Bischoff for this present). He concluded his speech by saying that tonight no "assclown" whatsoever would take his Hardcore belt away from him because he lifted for the day the 24/7 rule!
1) Batista/Sean O' Haire defeat Christian/Randy Orton in 2:23 via DQ when Christian used out of nowhere a fire extinguisher. At the end of the match, Orton asked him what the hell was going on but Christian simply told him he didn't think he would get caught. It didn't please Orton.
In his ultra-VIP office with balloons everywhere, Jericho was relaxing in the GM leather chair with Trish sitting on his laps. Uninvited, The Hurricane entered the room, looked in every corner, looked at Trish, looked at Jericho and then said all of a sudden: "WATSUPWITDAT ?!" Trish, annoyed, stepped down and told Jericho she was going for a little walk. The Hurricane asked Jericho for a King of the Ring qualification match. Jericho pondered for a moment, or so he seemed, and then said: "eeeerr…..nah!" He added that he had more than enough to deal with Hurricane because since he was on Raw he had been a "pain in the ass" for him! However, he had a more interesting match in store for him and he will inform him of it once he'd be in the ring.
Trish who was hanging around in the corridors met Lita followed by Stephanie dressed as a French Maid carrying Lita's bags with difficulties. Lita told Trish she'll catch her later for the "Blonde Minute" because now she has to receive a manicure from Stephanie, isn't that right Stephanie, she asked. A disgusted and fuming Stephanie had to answer "yes Ma'am". Trish stood aghast.
The Hurricane climbed in the ring and Y2J appeared on the Titantron to tell him that since he is a superhero he could easily take on opponents who "can match his superpowers": Big Show and A-Train in a handicap match!
2) Big Show/A-Train destroy The Hurricane in 6:40 with a double Chokeslam. For a good 2 minutes, A-Train and Big Show had fun in playing soccer with the poor Hurricane's body.
In the locker room, Brock Lesnar went to see the Big Show who was coming back from his match and told him that he had been looking for him for 2 weeks! He accused him of being the one responsible of Edge's departure to Smackdown! with the 2 championship belts! Now there's nothing left here. Moreover, he told Big Show that if he had been in Big Show's shoes the results wouldn't have been the same for sure. As a matter of fact, he concluded, Shawn Michaels was perhaps right when he called him the "Big Shit" but he believed that another nickname might be more appropriate, what about "The Big Saw"!!! Show was furious but Paul Heyman intervened to ease the tension but Brock didn't listen to him and told Heyman he'd better left for Smackdown! too and manage some pieces of crap as the place is full of. At this moment, Rikishi and Rhyno intervened asking Brock if they've heard what they thought Brock just said?! Had he been calling them pieces of crap?! Brock nodded and told them that he could beat them both without even breaking a sweat! Rhyno and Rikishi thus challenged Brock in a Smackdown! Gauntlet match.
Back in the ring, Trish was now wearing something way sexier than before and was ready to interview Lita in her show "The Blonde Minute". Lita made her way to the ring followed by her servant. Trish told her that there must be some misunderstanding since when she said she was about to interview Lita, she was referring to the piece of cardboard with Lita's picture on it as it is really more intelligent and interesting than the real one! Trish hit a nerve and Lita answered sharply telling her to take a closer look at Steph to see if she'd notice something. Before Trish could answer anything, Lita told her to remember, Stephanie was wearing the exact same maid outfit that Steph made Trish wear not so long ago, of course since Trish is shorter than Steph, the latter doesn't really feel at ease in it. Trish bitterly said that it was funny indeed and Lita asked Trish if she didn't want to serve her as well, another white woman admitting Latina women's superiority wouldn't be too much, and extended her hand for Trish to kiss it. Trish slapped it refusing her "offer". Lita pursued telling her there must be some of the training Steph made her undergo left in Trish and it wouldn't take her long to come back to a servant status. She added that she had taught Stephanie the same tricks she did with her and asked her if she wanted to see some. That was the last straw for Trish and she attacked Lita! Desperately, Lita called Stephanie for help and told her to attack Trish just like she would with a dog. Steph was compelled to help her tormentor. At two against one, Trish wouldn't have lasted long if the GM Jericho didn't intervene to defend his "sweetheart".
3) Brock Lesnar first defeats Rhyno with the F-5 in 4:30 and then did the same with Rikishi in 7:43.
Back in the GM office, Trish was boiling with anger due to Lita's behavior toward her "goddess". Jericho was surprised with Trish calling Steph "her goddess" but then remember that the latter had brainwashed her when Trish was at her service in order for the Canadian bombshell not to be a nuisance for her anymore and she took the opportunity to make sure Trish would always be in eternal admiration for her. Trish asked Jericho to put her in the first qualifying match for the Queen of the Ring as she needed to express her rage on someone. Jericho granted her what she was wishing for. Trish told him she just loved the way he dealt with The Hurricane, now he sure wouldn't piss them off anymore. That's why she wants to do the same with Molly; she would humiliate her so much in front of the world she wouldn't bother them too anymore! Trish then whispered something in Jericho's ear who told her it was a brilliant idea...Furthermore, before she left the office, Jericho also granted her one favor she could use whenever she'd want.
Once Trish left, Booker T entered in the GM office and asked for an interview…
Trish and Molly were in the ring and the Queen of the night took the mic to announce that the GM exceptionally granted her the right to choose what kind of match she wanted to take part in against Molly…and the one she wanted was none other than a "Bra and Panties" match so the world could see what kind of lingerie Molly was wearing every day! Molly blushed.
4) Trish defeats Molly in 8:32 in a Bra and Panties match. (Trish only lost her top). Molly was really embarrassed and ran to hide herself at the end of the match while Trish was laughing perversely.
GM Jericho stepped in the ring to throw his huge party. He told the crowd that he knew exactly what they needed, since they are really really fat they need to lose weight…that's why some aerobic wouldn't hurt them!!! He ordered all the divas to put their sportswear within the minute and to join him in the ring for a little gym session. Oh and of course, who could be a better teacher than a fitness aficionado, the divine Trish Stratus!!! Trish made her way to the ring in an outfit even sexier than before and gave a very sexy session! Jericho tried to follow the pace in the middle of all these beauties but was definitely more taking a good at their shaking booties than working.
After this interlude, Y2J announced that he had reserved the main event slot for himself and since the WWE Undisputed belt is blocked 'til the King of the Ring it is useless to face Triple H…talking about him, Jericho asked for some news concerning H3 to see how well he was doing with the hotdogs. A video of Triple H selling hotdogs was shown on the Titantron. Jericho declared that he would get his championship match the other way around: via the King of the Ring! He decided to place himself in the tournament but as one must go through a qualifying match for that he picked his opponent……good old JR!!!!
While the crowd was booing him out of the building, the whole locker room appeared on the Titantron stage to protest against the GM's attitude. Jericho grew pale but told them that if one of them tried to do anything against him he would fire his ass on the spot! All of a sudden, he whitened all the more when he took a look at the Titantron…he asked how many times this fat yellow T-shirt guy was buying hotdogs to Triple H, it must be like the fourth time…Then he realized that the tape was being looped but it was too late and Triple H went out of the crowd and Pedigreed Jericho when he turned to see where he was. Triple H humiliated Jericho by placing a hotdog in his mouth! Triple H then grabbed a microphone and relieved Jericho of his office. He chose Rob Van Dam to face Jericho and the match started right now. Wasting no time, RVD climbed to the top rope and hit the 5 Stars Frog Splash on Jericho!
5) Chris Jericho defeats Rob Van Dam in 4:57 with the Walls Of Jericho and earns a spot in the King of the Ring tournament.
Triple H didn't like the result at all but didn't show his bitterness. Jericho was all smile and told him that pretty soon the Undisputed Championship will be back once again around his waist!
