RAW is WAR--3/29/99

• Stone Cold Steve Austin Interview.

Austin gave credit to The Rock for the effort he put in the PPV match. Austin said the belt wasn't worth it, so he called out Vince McMahon. Austin surprisingly said he was going to relinquish the Heavyweight Title. The "Asshole" chants immediately started when McMahon slowly and carefully made his way down. McMahon was hesitant, but Austin said he didn't have any tricks up his sleeve. Austin handed the title to McMahon with a course of boos. McMahon said he knew one day Austin would crack, but he couldn't say thank you. As McMahon started to leave, Austin said it wasn't that easy. Austin had footage shown from September's In Your House: Breakdown PPV, where McMahon ran out of the arena with Austin's own title. Footage was also shown from a Raw is War last fall when McMahon was proud to have Austin's title. Austin said he was still the Heavyweight Champion and there was nothing McMahon could do about it. Austin told McMahon to have someone go to McMahon's home in Greenwich, Connecticut and get his own custom-made belt. McMahon said Austin wasn't going to get his own belt and there was no reason for him to, since it was his. The crowd said "Hell Yeah" after Austin asked if he should beat McMahon's ass. McMahon explained to Austin in his contract, he couldn't touch him (McMahon), or he would be fired. Austin had some WrestleMania XV footage was shown where McMahon was beating down on the new Heavyweight Champion, and it meant McMahon would have to get Austin's title in two hours.

Sable entered the ring and clocked Jackie from behind with the Women's Title belt. Tori then back-slided Jackie for the pin. Following the match, Sable and Tori were about to battle it out, but were interrupted by The Ministry of Darkness. Sable was left in the ring.
