Not aired on Smackdown: Rock/Austin feud, Y2J, RVD, more
"Here comes the money..." and here comes Shane McMahon with Stephanie. Comes out to a huge pop. Shane talks about how proud he is that Austin brought the WWF title to the Alliance and beat Angle "1,2,3", then Stephanie gets on the mike (the crowd was so loud against her, you couldn't hear what she said) and welcomes the newest member of the Alliance, William Regal. Regal goes on about how as commissioner, he wanted someone strong and virtuous as champ and Austin was that man. Austin then comes out , goes on (after some "What" comments) about how he beat Angle and bringing the title back and how he had two words with regards to Angle ever getting the title back by saying "It's Over!" and repeating it over and over again. It's at this point, some very familiar music hits. It's Linda McMahon with some strong words. She says she's disappointed by William Regal actions and relieves him of his duties. She also says that their will be a new commissioner who will have control over Austin's future since he is the WWF champ and that Austin will take on Angle again at No Mercy "It's true, it's true" At this time, Angle sneaks in the ring and sneak attacks Regal, Austin, and any other poor schmuck that happens to be in the ring. The Alliance go running. Comes back after break to Stephanie, Austin, and Shane wondering who the new commissioner will be and Stephanie says "You can choose your friends, but you can't choose your parents!" Ouch!

The Dudley Boys retain the WWF tag titles over the Big Show and Spike Dudley. In the end, the Dudleys set up a table outside the ring. They then go in the ring and propel Spike into it.
A recap of the Rock/Y2J incident from RAW is replayed leading to a segment with Austin and Shane. Shane suggests that due to RVD's win giving Austin the title shot, that RVD get a shot at the Rock. Austin cuts that down by suggesting that RVD take on Chris Jericho and the winner of that takes on the Rock at No Mercy. At first, it didn't look like Stephanie was keen on the idea, but gets talked into it. And so the match is on later in the show.
At this point, the Kidman vs. X-Pac match began, and it was during this match that most UPN channels resumed broadcast.
So it should be intersting to see how The Rock/Austin feud plays out over the next few weeks.
