Location: Washington, DC
The music of Triple H hit in the arena as Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler welcomed us to WWE RAW from the MCI Center in Washington, DC. Triple H got on the microphone as the crowd heavily booed him. Triple H said he knows a lot of people are not too happy about what he did last week, and believe it or not, he is not too proud of himself either. Triple H has done a lot of things in his life, and what he did last week was probably below him. Triple H said what he did to Eugene last week made him feel rotten inside. Triple H said he felt horrible and it made him feel sick and he felt pain, it was a horrible feeling, and he started to think to himself that he can really feel this bad for doing what he did to Eugene last week, and then thats when it happened. He farted. But once he got it out, he felt better, just like last week with Eugene, when he got rid of it, it felt great! Triple H said he knows Eugene is sitting home this week, watching RAW with his mommy. Triple H said he has something to say to Eugene and told him to get close to the TV set. Triple H said that he hates Eugene, and that he was never his friend. Triple H went on to say that he was never in Evolution and Evolution and Triple H hates him, and everybody hates him. Triple H said the crowd are not booing him, they are booing Eugene, because he is an embarassment. Triple H said everyone is ashamed of him, including his Mom. Triple H said that deep down inside her, you're Mom is ashamed of you Eugene. Triple H said he did the world a favor last week. Triple H said that Eugene had no business being in the WWE, no business being a WWE Superstar and no business being normal, that's right Eugene, you are pathetic. Triple H introduced us to some footage and it was after RAW last week with Chris Benoit and William Regal shouting for help for Eugene. Benoit and Regal both looked very disressed, and Triple H asked if they were crying? Triple H said that there is no crying in wrestling! Ladies and Gentlemen, that was your World Champion, Chris Benoit, crying like a baby, and that is pathetic!
The music of Eric Bischoff hit in the arena and he made his way out and he said that he spoke to his sister and Eugene is history, gone from RAW forever, all thanks to Triple H! Eric Bischoff said he wanted to reward the Game, they had a Steel Cage match on Smackdown! last week, but wait till they see what will be on RAW next week, because it's going to be Chris Benoit and Triple H in a sixty minute Iron Man Match for the World Championship! Eric Bischoff said that Triple H probably needs some time to rest up, so he will get the night off, but Chris Benoit will be in action tonight when he faces Batista! Triple H thanked Eric and said that there is not a man alive that can hang with him over sixty minutes! Chris Benoit wants to cry like a little baby? Well Triple H is going to give him something to cry about! The crowd started to chant "You Tapped Out" at Triple H. Triple H said that when the sixty minutes are over, he is going to walk out World Heavyweight Champion!
William Regal made his way out on the stage and said they must both be very proud of themselves. Perhaps Regal is pathetic, and he is not frightened of shedding a tear or two, but he is also not frightened of you. Eugene, I hope you are watching dear boy, because this is for you! Regal got into the ring and he and Triple H went to work on each other and Regal got the better of the Game, knocking him right out of the ring! Eric Bischoff called for security as Triple H and William Regal continued to brawl and sent Triple H into the steel steps. Security came out and tried to restrain Regal, and they took him up the aisle and he had a crazed look on his face as Triple H was left laying!

Bischoff forced the girls to tell him who put them up to it. Bischoff said that Jericho does not run RAW, Bischoff does, and if they mess with him, they are going to find out the hard way that it is the dumbest thing they have ever done.
