JR and Lawler welcome us to RAW. JR and Lawler still harp on the Kane incident from last week...
We get cut off by Jericho and Christian in the ring. Jericho says that all this is Austin's fault to huge heat. Jericho says Christian and himself will not stop till Austin gets recalled. Stone Cold has gone stone cold crazy, and Jericho is livid. We get a clip from a house show, and Jericho says Test broke his foot in two places cause of a match Stone Cold booked against Shane. Christian is also upset over the fact the Kane and Test have to suffer because of Shane and Austin. Shane's music hits, and he makes his way to the ring. Shane grabs the mic and tells Christian and Jericho not to drag him into this Austin recalling thing. Shane says Test and Kane is a result of him... and calls them cry babies. La Resistance comes down minus Sylvan, and Conway trash talks Shane. Conway says Stone Cold is the problem... Jericho says they want to send Austin a message, and all four attack Shane. Jericho straps the walls on Shane... and the Dudleyz run down... and clear the ring. Buh Buh gets on the mic and tries to act cool, and comes off as cool as a parking lot puddle. The heels huddle, and Jericho says three of them against the four of them? No.
Backstage, someone tries to run over Goldberg... I swear, more people almost get run over on WWE TV then in the US alone.
We see Goldberg almost get run over again.

Steiner goes to drill Stacy with the chair, but Stone Cold's music hits, and he comes down and asks Steiner what he's doing.

Hurricane tells Rosie that the local orphanage has a problem, the people put caffeine in the babies milk and they have gone crazy! Rosie says he is going to the locker room to change! Hurricane tells him that super heroes don't change in locker rooms. Rosie asks "then where do they change?" Hurricane points to a weirdly placed phone booth in the corner. Rosie is shown by himself struggling to get in the phone booth and when he does finally get in it's damn near impossible for him to change.
Lawler and JR milk the whole Kane/accident thing again. The show us clips from the show again... they show the replay three times, incase we missed it the first 11 times they showed it.

Goldberg comes out with his belt in hand. He struts down to the ring with a purpose and gets a mic. Goldberg makes this very simple. He ask if there is anyone backstage who wants the bounty... and tells them to come and get it. Michaels' music hits and Michaels makes his way to the ring. Michaels also gets a mic, and Goldberg says that Michaels can't be trusted. Michaels says just cause someone offers him 100,000.00 doesn't mean he'll take it, nor does it mean he won't. He says he wants an explanation for being speared last week. Michaels has a problem with the fact that Goldberg doesn't care he speared Michaels... Goldberg needs to own up for his mistakes. Goldberg drops the mic, and Tommy Dreamer runs in and beats on Goldberg with a Kendo stick... Goldberg spears Dreamer. A raging Flair runs out and demands Michaels to hit Goldberg. Henry and Theodore Long come out... and say the bounty is theirs. Bischoff then comes out and says he speared the wrong man... all Bischoff knows is that tonight there will be a handicapped match: Orton/Flair/Henry -vs- Michaels/Goldberg.
