Notes:

Tajiri had to defend, as it's RAW, so I put him against Hotty. This, I THINK, might lead to a Hotty/Tajiri feud. With more than a minute I think they could do some good, and it may lead to Hotty's losing streak ending. Maybe.
Hardcore needed something to do, and so did Saturn, so I made him defend two nights in a row. Saturn beat Hardcore because Hardcore is going to get more involved in the tag division when Lance and Justin return to defend the straps.
Jeff Hardy had to get into a good feud now that he's done with his brother, and now that X-Pac is heel, they can probably put on some good matches on PPV.
And finally, Rob Van Dam wanted a non-title match against Jericho because since No Way Out, he and Angle had become friends. Van Dam wanted revenge for Angle's concussion and because Jericho treated him like crap, so Van Dam challenged him. The match ended when Kevin Nash and Scott Hall! came to the ring with a baseball bat. Nash handed it to Jericho, but Van Dam kicked Jericho in the face and took it. He nailed Hall and Nash with it, and then nailed Jericho with it. When the ref stopped checking on Hall and Nash, he went into the ring and counted the pin! I wanted this to happen to establish the new RVD/Jericho feud.
After the match, I needed an even BIGGER surprise to attract a bigger and older audience (older as in people who watched years ago and left when WCW died), so Eric Bischoff came out with...Bill Goldberg, Ric Flair, Scott Steiner, Randy Savage and Hollywood Hogan! Bischoff exclaimed that when Shane McMahon bought WCW it was still in the hands of a McMahon, so it failed to get the REAL WCW fans. Now Bischoff has returned with the REAL WCW, Jericho, Nash, Hall, Goldberg, Flair, Steiner, Savage, and Hogan! He said the "invasion" had just begun. Vince McMahon comes out screaming about the WWF beating WCW and sending them packing, but Bischoff showed how McMahon had stolen Booker T, and Booker, Triple H, and Angle beat The Rock and Steve Austin, NOT real WCW wrestlers. Bischoff then said he had a special surprise in the waiting for McMahon, and that the surprise would be revealed at Backlash.
This causes a MUCH better invasion than the original invasion angle, and with no ECW involvement. With these guys, the invasion angle is guaranteed to work, especially with Bischoff at the helm. It also causes special things to happen, like Bischoff bringing these guys, along with Jericho, to WCW SmackDown! to invade WCW, explaining how the current WCW champ (The Rock) isn't a real WCW wrestler, blah, blah, blah. With Bischoff at the helm of things, it could REALLY work, and it would all make sense (except for the fact that Vince and Shane would allow these guys camera time). Plus, with JERICHO holding the only gold in the faction, it shows that Hogan, Savage, Goldberg, Nash, Flair, and Steiner can all settle for smaller roles. Hall's always been in a small role.
Rob Van Dam is also taking the role of the WWF's leader against Jericho and company. People like Triple H, Booker T, Chris Benoit, Sean O'Haire, William Regal, Kurt Angle (when he comes back), Edge, and everyone else will be thrown right into high profile spots against people like Hogan, Flair, Nash, and Hall. It'll be huge.
