- After the match, Lita is helping Jeff get back up but Taker decides to re-enter the ring and throws Jeff right over the top rope. He then picks up Jeff over his right shoulder and heads to the ramp area with Lita following slowly behind. Taker yells at Lita "This is on your conscience. This is on you". Taker then turns around and Last Ride's Jeff off the stage. He then grabs Lita by the hair and throws her off the stage too. At WWF NY, Matt Hardy can't believe his eyes.

- We come back and see Matt Hardy on the phone talking to someone inquiring about the status of Lita and Jeff Hardy. He states "is she breathing, is she conscious" but doesn't appear to get an answer.

- Back in the arena, Vince McMahon makes his way down to the ringside area. Vince asks for some southern hospitality in light of the constant boos he is receiving. He says that you all must believe him when he says that Stone Cold Steve Austin is a certified lunatic. He talks about what happened on Smackdown! with Austin being the fireman and assaulting him and Booker T. He talks about Austin chasing Booker T to the grocery store and we see clips of the incident. Vince says that he has one more thing to get off his chest. He calls out Austin and out comes the Texas Rattlesnake. The crowd chants "WHAT" and Vince says he hates that word. Vince then whispers to Austin "I hate you too". Austin grabs the mic and Vince says that he wants Austin to apologize to Booker T for what he did. Austin says "what", "you want me to apologize to Booker T. You want me to say I'm sorry?". Austin says he was nice enough to take that youngster on a shopping spree and ultimately did Booker T a favor. Fans are chanting "what" after every phrase Austin spews out. Austin says he came to Lafayette and lists off some Cajun food he ate along with one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine beers. He said he isn't drunk yet, he's just getting started. Austin says him saying sorry to Booker T just won't happen and he has nothing more to say Vince McMahon because he's the biggest piece of crap he's ever seen. Austin asks the fans if they want to see him open up a can of whoop ass on Austin, gimme a hell yeah. Before he can, we see Booker T on the Titan Tron. He's with Austin's truck and has a bat or some other weapon and smashes the passenger side window. Austin runs out of the ring, presumably in search of Booker T and his truck.

- We come back and see a replay of what just happened.

- During the commercial, Booker T has the pipe and is ready to smash the lights out next but he spots Austin come running at him and hops in his car and jets off. Stone Cold hops in his truck and chases after him.

- Backstage, Vince McMahon is smiling and watching on the TV screen. He's on the phone to Booker T and Booker assures him that he got rid of Austin. Vince says that was nice and Booker asks him to guess where he is. Vince says he doesn't know and Booker says he's at a place where Austin would never guess. He's at church. Vince tells Booker to say a little prayer for Stone Cold.

- We're back with Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross. Ross talks about the Friday passing of Russ Haas. Lawler says all the federation's thoughts and prayers are with Russ' family and friends, including his brother Charlie who is an employee of WWFE.

- After the match, Christian talks trash to Tazz and attempts to hit him with the belt, but Tazz ducks and puts on the Tazzmission. Tazz leaves the ring, with Christian laying on the mat.

- Backstage, reporter Helms is interviewing Ric Flair. Helms asks Flair for comments about him saving Torrie Wilson last week. Lance Storm interrupts and says that this is ridiculous. Storm asks Flair for another chance since he didn't know who he was facing the last two times. Flair says be careful what you wish for because tonight he is wrestling the Rock.

- We come back with JR and Lawler plugging next week's RAW which will be a special featuring the top 10 voted matches of 2001.

- Backstage, Rob Van Dam is getting ready for his match when Vince McMahon walks in. Vince says he wishes RVD luck and RVD appreciates it. Vince says that Ric Flair can't make decisions on his own - he has to ask Vince. Vince says that he felt Van Dam deserved this title shot and if he wins tonight, he feels like they both would get along very well. RVD says that he doesn't think that they would be a very good team because you're Vince and "I'm Rob Van Dam". Vince gets angry and says that he hopes Jericho kicks Van Dam's butt tonight and he'll be the guest commentator tonight at ringside.

- Backstage we see a bingo game going on and Booker T is there with some senior citizens. He asks them to speed things up. Booker is frustrated and switches his card with the old lady next to him while she's not looking. He starts getting the numbers called and then blows up at a lady behind him telling her to shut up. A male voice comes up saying the next number is A316, as in Austin 3:16. Booker T sees Austin calling the number and runs away. The next number leads to a win by the woman beside Booker T, the same lady who had Booker T's original game card.

- We're back at the church with Booker T running frantically and trying to hide from Austin. He tries to hide between the church seats but couldn't fit. He then hides behind a desk/table but hears a knock at the door so he then gets out and puts on a gown. He stands still and tries to pass by as a regular church citizen or a statue but changes his mind. Finally, he runs out of the room looking for another place to hide.

- After the match, the Rock comes back confronting Tim White, the referee, but understands and lets Tim go. LAnce is still celebrating with the Rock stalking him for the Rock Bottom. Storm gets down, sees the Rock and backs into a corner. With the crowd chanting for him, the Rock extends a handshake and Storm shakes his head hesitantly. Rock then uses the opportunity to hit the Rock Bottom.

- Backstage, Chris Jericho is walking around with his two titles.

- Back at the church, it shows a lady confessing to a sin in the confessional. Booker T is hiding in the booth, acting as the priest ("father"). The woman says she committed adultery on her husband with his brother and his best friend. She says they had a video camera and everything. Booker T says "tell me you didn't just say that child". Booker T tells her to go home, do 18 Hail Marys and to send him the videotape to his address. The confused woman asks if everything will be all right after that and with a grin, he responds yes.

- Back in the arena, Chris Jericho enters the arena. He takes a mic and tells us that he's Chris Jericho and he's the undisputed champion of the WWF. He reminds us that he beat Austin and Rock back-to-back followed by beating Austin again the next night. He says he's the man, period. Unfortunately he says, he won't be able to perform tonight because he refuses to defend against Rob Van Dam. Jericho wonders why RVD deserves a title shot. Jericho says that RVD is a liar and a cheater and he has footage to prove it. We see clips of their match from last Thursday when RVD used a chair to pin Jericho. He adds that Van Dam is probably scared of him and questions why Ric Flair would allow this act to go unpunished. He demands that Flair come down to reverse the Smackdown! decision and to cancel the match scheduled for tonight. Ric Flair's music hits and the Nature Boy walks down to the ring where Jericho awaits him. Flair says that even though Jericho is the WWF champion, he is the owner and his decision is no. He asks Jericho if he remembers that Jericho is the one who brought the chair to the ring in the first place. It's not his fault that RVD used it. He saw the 1-2-3 and so in his mind, Van Dam is the #1 contender. Whether RVD is worthy of such an accolade, we will find out tonight. Jericho says that he should sue Flair for insinuating he brought in the chair. Jericho says that he knows why Flair is acting like this - he's jealous. He believes Flair wishes he was the undisputed champion and he wants to be Jericho. Jericho tells him to get over his mid life crisis and to start living up to his responsibilities of being co-owner of the WWF. Flair is upset at the mid life crisis comment. He takes off his jacket and said that he already had that ten years ago. He says the final decision is that tonight Jericho will in fact defend his title and he takes off his shirt to reveal a referee outfit. Flair will be the special ref in the match.

- After the match, Kurt and Test double team Rikishi until the Rock comes down for the save. Rock goes after Test and sets him up for Rikishi's Stinkface. Rikishi backs his ass up and sticks it in Test's face. Rock and Rikishi stand in the ring as Test and Angle walk away.

- We're shown another Triple H video with a huge announcement, as shown by a graphic: Triple H returns January 7th!

- Backstage, Test assaults Michael Cole. He says that since he can't be fired, Cole needs a beating. Test also says that he will face the Rock at Smackdown!.

- Back at the church, a man is confessing to Booker T. He's telling Booker T that he drank and what not. Booker T tells him to give him two Hail Marys and then get up and get the hell out of my office. Booker calls in the next person and it's Stone Cold Steve Austin. Austin says what and Booker asks him if he sinned. Austin says no, not yet but he's fixing to sin and when he does it will real bad...what, what, what, what. Booker T realizes it's Stone Cold and runs out with Austin chasing him.

- Back at the church, Booker T and Austin have met up with a group of nuns. Booker T offers them a ride but Austin said they shouldn't go anywhere. The nuns leave with Booker T allowing him to escape. Meanwhile, a priest approaches Austin and tells him that maybe it's a good time for him to hear his confession. Austin replies what.

- Backstage, Ric Flair meets Rob Van Dam and offers some advice for his upcoming match against Chris Jericho. He makes sure to mention the use of the figure four leglock.
