On the TitanTron, Eric Bischoff appears. He says he feels bad because this whole physicality thing must be killing Austin, since it prevents him from doing his job. Bischoff proposes that for Survivor Series, they each assemble a team of five and if Austin's team wins, the no-provocation clause will be gone but if Bischoff's team wins, Austin will be gone forever. Bischoff says he has already gotten permission from the board of govenors so all Austin has to do is say yes. Bischoff then presents his first two team members - Chris Jericho and Scott Steiner.
Austin ends up accepting by saying "oh hell yeah" and then he drinks some beer with Stacy to end the segment.
