Chris Jericho welcomed everyone to RAW is Jericho and how fitting is it that the hottest show on TV is opened with the hottest show on RAW, Chris Jericho's Highlight Reel! Oh yeah and you would think that after last week, his guest tonight would be Kane because everyone has been talking about how hideous, disformed and disfigured he looked. He looked like Crusty the Clown on crack cocaine! But Jericho isn't all about ugly, he's about beauty. And that's why his guest tonight is the most stunning beauty in the WWE locker room, Stacy Keibler!

Scott Steiner's music hit in the arena and he and Stacy Keibler made their way out to the ring.

After the two got in the ring, Steiner removed Stacy's panties (view photos below of the slip) and Chris said that he enjoyed that amazing display of sexuality, but he has a question; What is Steiner doing down here? He never invited him. Three is a crowd, so hit the bricks, junior. Steiner said that the way he sees it, Jericho has two choices. He stands here looking as he can only look or he can take that jiffy pop jump suit and shove it up Jericho's ass! Jericho asked Steiner if he's suggesting that he wants to fight him in the middle of the ring? Do you know how much the Highlight Reel set costs? He's not taking the chance of destroying this piece of machinery when he kicks his ass in here. Besides, he's got something he wants to ask Stacy. He's been checking out her spread in this month's Stuff Magazine. They went to the Jeritron 5000 to check out some shots. Jericho said that those are absolutely tremendous, which brings him to his next question. What is someone like her doing with a man like Steiner? She can be with Chris Jericho, the highlight of the night, the king of bling bling, baby. Oh yeah because not only is he a legend in this ring but he's been told he's a legend in the sack as well. Stacy laughed and Steiner told Jericho the difference between he and Jericho and Stacy asked Chris if he really thinks he can compare to Freakzilla? Because she loves what the big bad booty daddy does with her hips and her lips. The only legend she's heard about Jericho is how legendary small his penis is! Chris said that's very funny. Oh so clever, but you know what else is clever? The surprise he has for Stacy because his next guest is the man that's so much better for her than this monkey, Test! Test made his way out to the ring and Chris Jericho attacked Steiner and dominated him in the corner until Steiner fired back on Jericho, taking out both Jericho and Test as he got in the ring. Steiner tossed a chair at Jericho and Test and Eric Bischoff's music immediately hit in the arena.

Eric said that he can't let this kind of mayhem go on out here, unless of course he's creating it himself. Just relax. First of all, he's got some very good news... Stone Cold Steve Austin will not be here tonight and the good news is that he's running the show. And tonight is going to be a defining moment in the career and the legacy of Eric Bischoff and he can't think of a better way to start than to make a match for later tonight when Scott Steiner teams up with his new tag team partner, Stacy Keibler against Chris Jericho and Test!

-Lance Storm vs. Goldberg
Lance Storm came out to the ring and said that Stone Cold Steve Austin has categorized Lance as boring, but one thing he's not is boring. Lance has looked it up in the dictionary and prepared the following statement. Lance read Webster's dictionary's definition of boring and Goldberg's music hit in the arena and interrupted him.

Goldberg talked the trash at ringside and Rodney Mack stormed to the ring and assaulted Goldberg from behind. Rodney rolled Goldberg into the ring and started hammering away on him but Goldberg speared him down to the mat and then Lance Storm quickly got out of the ring. Goldberg then hooked Rodney Mack in a suplex position and then he gave him the jackhammer to lay him out.

Kane was shown backstage with a towel over his head and Eric Bischoff was pacing back and forth. Eric asked Kane not to be angry with him. He knows it was his stipulation that he had to unmask, but it really wasn't his idea. It was Rob Van Dam's idea. How many times did he say that Kane didn't need that mask? He's absolutely right. Kane got Bischoff huge ratings last week and he needs to take that towel off, go out and address those people tonight. Kane nodded no and Eric told Kane that he'll change his mind because he's going to give him a rematch against Triple H for the Championship, tonight. Kane once again nodded no and Eric said that Kane is afraid that if he goes out there, people are going to make fun of him and treat him like he's some kind of monster, is that it? If that's the case, he's got no choice because he's going to give his title shot to his tag team partner, Rob Van Dam but Kane will go out and appear in front of those people tonight. Because if he doesn't, he's fired!

-Christian (c) vs. Booker T
The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the Intercontinental Champion! Introducing the challenger, from Houston, Texas, weighing in at 256 pounds, Booker T!

Booker went for the scissors kick but Christian avoided it and rolled Booker up, hooking the tights but only getting a two count.

Booker T nailed Christian with the scissors kick as he hung over the top rope and then Booker went to the top rope but Christian hit the ropes to knock him down.

Eric Bischoff came out and said that Booker isn't going to get away with that. Not tonight and not on his show. Eric pointed out that both competitors shoulders were down and he showed the replay. The official ruling is that the match is a draw and in the case of a draw, the champion retains the title, so ladies and gentlemen, your Intercontinental Champion, Christian!

Rob Van Dam confronted Kane backstage, asking him if he's going to keep that towel on his head? Rob can't believe that Kane turned down a rematch for the World Title. Oh, he's got his reasons, just like he choke slammed RVD last week. He's not going to go out there? Even at the risk of being fired? Bischoff told him the truth; it was RVD's idea for him to take the mask off. He doesn't need the mask. The fans will accept him. Kane said that they won't because he hates the fans. Rob said he's sorry Kane feels that way and he hopes he doesn't feel that way about Rob. Rob told Kane that he was trying to help him out and motivate him. Rob told Kane that he hopes he doesn't hate him tonight when he wins the World Title. Rob left the room and Kane said "I do hate you, Rob."

-Chris Jericho and Test vs. Scott Steiner aand Stacy Keibler
Chris Jericho's music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring for an unusual tag team match with Chris Jericho and Test against Scott Steiner and Stacy Keibler.

Randy Orton and Ric Flair beat up on Tommy Dreamer after the match, using the kendo stick on him.

Eric Bischoff was shown backstage with Rob Van Dam and Rob said that he knows what Eric is doing. He's trying to take advantage of Kane taking his mask off. He's exploiting him for TV ratings and that is not cool. Eric said that it's Rob's fault that he lost the mask. It was his idea in the first place and if Kane loses his job, it's on RVD's head. Rather than taking his aggression out on Eric, why not take it out on Triple H and win the World Title? Rob said that's just what he's going to do and he went on his way.

Eric Bischoff was shown with Terri and he asked her to go talk to Kane to see what he's thinking. Terri said that she didn't want to do that because he's unstable. Eric said that either she gets the information he needs or she's fired.
