Goldberg's music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring as the World Heavyweight Champion and in just two weeks at Armageddon, he will defend his title against Kane and Triple H in a Triple Threat Match! The fans heavily chanted for Goldberg and Goldberg took the mic and said that it seems to him that each and every week he steps out here, he's getting jumped from behind by somebody, whether it be Kane or Triple H. Goldberg then said that tonight here in Sacramento, he's going to make things real simple. The hell with Armageddon! Either of them have the guts, let's get it on right here and right now!
Eric Bischoff's music hit and he came out, telling Goldberg that he doesn't decide what happens on this show, Bischoff does. And he doesn't care if Goldberg is the Champion. If he ever comes out here again and tries to create mass chaos on Bischoff's show, he will not hesitate to fire him! And that goes for everybody else in the back, because let's face it, this is not Monday Night RAW, this is the Eric Bischoff Show and he's Eric Bischoff, the sole General Manager of RAW. And not Goldberg or anybody else can do a damn thing about it. Mick Foley's music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring in a suit and tie with a clipboard in hand and as he got in the ring, the fans heavily chanted "Foley, Foley!" Mick told Eric that he happens to be wrong because there's something that Foley can do about that. Mick told Goldberg it's a pleasure to meet him, the World Heavyweight Champion but as much as a pleasure it is, he's here to talk to Eric Bischoff. Eric questioned Foley and Foley said he's here to talk about some things that Linda McMahon decided. You see, in looking at the trauma Vince McMahon suffered at Survivor Series and the reactions of Vince McMahon on Smackdown!, he might be suffering from diminished mental capacity and he might not be in control of some of the decisions he's making, so therefore Linda and the Board of Directors hired Mick Foley as an Outside Consultant who can make any changes that he sees fit to benefit this show! And the first thing he's going to do is give Goldberg here what he wants. It is no longer a two on three Handicap Match because right here tonight, it'll be Batista, Randy Orton and Kane taking on Shawn Michaels, RVD and Goldberg! After Goldberg left the ring, Eric Bischoff said he doesn't know what the hell Foley thinks he's up to out here. Foley said that he said changes and that was one. The next change concerns the return to RAW of Stone Cold Steve Austin! Foley said he knows Stone Cold was fired and he can't return to RAW as Co General Manager, but he'd like to think there's some position on this TV show for Austin in some capacity. So look at that, it's a petition; what Foley is going to do is hand this petition to Lilian Garcia and it's to bring Stone Cold Steve Austin back to RAW. Foley told Lilian to sign it first and pass it around so everybody in Sacramento has a chance to sign on the dotted line. As for his final change as a consultant, he's come to the conclusion that there's only one thing really wrong with RAW and that's Eric Bischoff. Foley said that he's taken his powers as consultant to hire a new Co General Manager of RAW and that's Mick Foley! Foley started to leave the ring but then he came back and said this was rude of him; before he goes, he just wants to say one thing; have a nice day!
Backstage: Eric Bischoff was shown with The Coach complaining about what just went down. Coach asked Eric what he's going to do? Eric said that he's got Linda McMahon's work number on his speed dial. Coach tried to tell Eric that he doesn't want to call her. Doesn't he remember what happened the last time he called her? Eric Bischoff ignored him and phoned her anyway. When he started talking to her, she hung right up on him and Bischoff was none too pleased.

Mick said that he might, but he's here to relive his old days. People always talk about the pain Mick Foley has gone through, but that's nothing compared to having to hear Coach and Snow commentate on RAW. So what they're going to do is have a rematch tonight with the same stipulations. Foley said what he's saying is that Coach is having a rematch against Jerry "The King" Lawler and Al Snow is banned from ringside!

Oh yeah, we just saw the spinaroonie but guess what, he's got a big surprise for us. Who in here wants to see the legsaroonie?! Booker said to hit the music and Stacy Keibler did her version of the spinaroonie. Booker called for it once again and he got just that. Mark Henry then hit the ring and plowed through Booker T with a clothesline and then he planted him with a power slam. With Theodore Long directing traffic, Mark Henry gave Booker T another power slam to leave him for dead. WWE officials came out to the ring to attend to Booker T as he was down in pain.
Trish Stratus was shown backstage and Lita showed up with a Chris Jericho action figure. Trish said thanks and then Lita asked what's going on between them? Trish said she doesn't know. They have awesome times together and she feels that connection. Trish asked about Lita and Christian and Lita called her a subject changer. Lita asked what happened last week and Trish said it was just special and tonight is going to be very special. Trish held up a Canadian sweater with Jericho's name on it and she made it for him. She said she'll put it on and maybe underneath she'll have nothing but a bra on. Trish left, telling Lita that she really believes that tonight is the night.
Terri was shown with Orton and Batista and she brought up the brutal beating Batista gave Michaels last week. What are his thoughts going into tonight's match? Batista said to be honest, he's a little disappointed in himself. Disappointed he didn't separate his head from his shoulders. The beating he gave HBK last week is nothing compared to tonight and if by some miracle, he makes it out of here tonight, he'll finish him at Armageddon, he promises us that.
Scott Steiner and Test made their way out to the ring, forcing Stacy Keibler into the ring and Scott said that it sounded like the fans loved Stacy's version of the spinaroonie. They just love cheering for those long legs and little panties. Well they're not going to cheer anymore because even though Stacy is Test's property, they share everything and he means everything! Test said that's right and you know, he thinks it's time Stacy gets a little reminder on just exactly what her job here is. Remember a little time ago, Vince McMahon had a club called the Kiss My Ass Club, well wipe those lips and pucker up because it's now the Steiner and Test Kiss My Ass Club! Steiner told her not to look so sad, she should feel privileged to kiss the big bad booty! Test and Steiner then pulled their pants down and they told Stacy to get herself some. As they told her to kiss their asses, Mick Foley's music hit and he came out. He told them that before they proceed, as consultant and new GM of RAW, he's issuing an executive order for Stacy to come consult with him at the entrance way. And while she makes her way up there, let him thank them for being the couple of asses they are. Mick said it makes him literally sick to see them treat her like this and he's come up with a way to make sure it doesn't happen again. Test told Foley that she's in his contract and Foley said that she was in his contract, but unfortunately for Test, that contract is no longer valid because as of this moment, he's fired! Steiner told Foley that he can't do that. They're a tag team and they're going to win the World Tag Team Titles! Keibler said something to Foley and Foley said that's a good idea and then he said as of now, he's fired too!

Bischoff then said that what he's going to do is call Vince McMahon and Test and Steiner told Bischoff that he better fix this. A voice asked "Are you really going to call Mr. McMahon?" Bischoff then said hell no he's not, he's going to fix this himself.

The fans booed and Mick told them that all they have to do is one simple thing; raise your right hand, place it over your heart and do the right thing. Mick then said the pledge of allegiance and Rob Conway put his hand on his heart and Rene Dupree seemed upset. Mick said he saw Rob mumbling the words but Rene's mouth wasn't moving at all. Do we have a problem going on? Rob said that's because he's French, he doesn't know the words! Mick Foley then gave them some words that they won't like; You're fired! The old Lex Luger music started playing in the arena and Mick Foley marched around the ring, giving the fans high fives.
Backstage: Trish and Jericho were shown and Jericho was making sure she was ready to go. Trish said she's ready and she told him that she never felt this way before. Chris told her that he feels the same way and the two went on their way and they're up next in a mixed tag match!

Mick Foley celebrated with Rob Van Dam and Eric Bischoff made his way out, saying he wants to talk to Mick Foley alone. Bischoff congratulated Mick Foley because he's effectively killed RAW on his first day on the job. Bischoff told Foley that he has decimated the RAW roster single handedly and they're ruined. Does he even have a clue? He is worse as a Co GM than Steve Austin ever was. At least he was competent. Does he even understand that the minute he signed those release papers, Paul Heyman is going to be over on Smackdown! with open contracts. Mick said that's not going to happen because he's not actually going to sign any release papers. Bischoff asked Foley if he's out of his mind? Foley said that he just wanted to show Bischoff what he was like since he took over on RAW. Foley got pissed at Bischoff, calling him a self centered son of a bitch. Stone Cold may be gone, but Mick is damn sure going to honor his spirit because as Co GM, he's going to do what's right for the people and next week, he's going to do that when Kane takes on Goldberg, one on one on RAW! And as far as the people here in Sacramento, he's going to do exactly what's right for them because he's going to give them exactly what he's been waiting to see since the moment Foley stepped inside this very ring. Foley then laid Eric Bischoff out with a hard right hand and then he pulled out Mr. Socko and put it on Eric Bischoff to put him out! And on that note, Mick posed on the ropes and then left the ring to close out the show and next week, it'll be Goldberg and Kane, LIVE!
