In the arena, Chris Jericho's music hit and he made his way out to the ring with Christian and as they got in the ring, Jim Ross noted that tonight, Kane and Goldberg will battle it out in a one on one match. Chris Jericho and Christian both had flowers in their hands and Chris took the mic and said before they beat the Dudley Boyz and become the new Tag Team Champions right here tonight, they have something very important to say. Christian took the mic and said that there's a lot of rumors flying around that Lita and Trish are mad at them and they just want to say from the bottoms of their hearts, they really hope that's not true. Chris said they seriously feel really bad about this. Chris has been calling Trish all week long on her cell phone, her home phone and leaving messages for her and she hasn't responded. It's breaking his heart and he doesn't know what else he can do to make this up to her. Trish Stratus and Lita then aggressively walked out to the ring and Chris said to look at their faces? What did they do to them that could make them feel this way? Trish held up the Canadian dollar and Chris asked her if she's mad at them because of the bet? It was just a joke. Maybe their sense of humor was a little off, but they know Christian and Chris Jericho. Do they really think that he and Christian would make a bet for one dollar Canadian to see who could sleep with them first? Is that what they think? Chris told Trish that she knows the chemistry they have, it's the real thing. He'd never jeopardize that for some stupid bet. He respects her too much and he feels too much for her for that. And Lita, she knows Christian feels the same way. He gave up his Survivor Series favor so she could keep her job. They know the real Jericho and Christian. Trish knows the real Chris Jericho. That's why he's begging her to please accept his apology. Chris begged and he gave Trish the flowers as did Christian. Chris told Trish that he can't stop thinking about her all the time. Trish turned her head and Chris told her that he's never felt this way about anybody in his entire life. He's never felt this way about anybody, ever. Accept his apology? Trish slapped Chris Jericho across the face and then she and Lita smashed the flowers into Jericho and Christian and continued to whale away on them.

Backstage: Ric Flair was shown with Randy Orton and Batista and Flair said that if anybody knows Triple H, it's him. Triple H is here tonight, but he's not going anywhere near that ring. Why should he? He's always one step ahead of everybody else and he knows that tonight, Goldberg and Kane are going to tear each other apart and at Armageddon, all Triple H has to do is walk in, pick up the pieces and pick up the World Title. Randy Orton said Triple H is one hell of a guy, but Triple H isn't going to be the only member of Evolution with Gold. RVD is the Intercontinental Champion, but that title is going around Randy Orton's beautiful waist. Batista added that's assuming RVD makes it to Armageddon. As far as HBK goes, let's just say Evolution will be 3-0 at Armageddon after Batista chokes the life out of his career.
Backstage: Jericho and Christian were shown yelling at Eric Bischoff to make this right. They should be the tag team champions. Bischoff said he will, but he has to know if they had a bet to see who would get it first? Christian said they did and he was just about to close the deal with Lita. Bischoff then said that at Armageddon, it'll be Christian teaming with Chris Jericho and their opponents are going to be Lita and her partner Trish Stratus in Eric Bischoff's Battle of the Sexes. Christian seemed happy with Bischoff's decision, but Jericho didn't seem to like it nearly as much.

Garrison Cade & Mark Jindrak vs. Val Venis & Lance Storm
Garrison Cade and Mark Jindrak made their way out to the ring, ready for tag team action. Cade took the mic and said that they weren't whining last week when they demanded a rematch. The Dudleys cheated last week to beat them, just like they cheated earlier tonight. So let's get one thing straight, they are not whiners, they are winners and come this Sunday at Armageddon, they're going to be winners all right when they become the next World Tag Team Champions. Val Venis' music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring with his tag team partner, Lance Storm for this tag team contest.

Winners: Mark Jindrak & Garrison Cade
Kane was shown sitting in the backstage area and he was talking to himself about what annoyed him as a kid and that's a dog. The dog didn't like him and he didn't like the dog, so he killed it, dragged it into the woods and left it there to rot. And everyday, he'd go back and see what the worms and scavengers have done to it. And that made him feel good about himself. Goldberg's reign as World Champion annoys him and the fans remind him of worms and maggots feeding off of it. Well at Armageddon, he's going to end Goldberg's reign and Goldberg won't like it and Triple H won't like it and the fans sure as hell won't like it. But Kane will!
In Ring Promo: Mick Foley's music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring as the Co General Manager of RAW with a clipboard in hand. Mick took the mic and thanked the fans for their response and then he said when he took over as the Co General Manager of RAW, he did so with the intension of making things right. Now if at Armageddon Ric Flair were to become involved in the Randy Orton/RVD match, then that certainly would not be right. So he's decided that the match at Armageddon needs a special guest referee and after consulting with himself for several hours, he's decided that the special guest referee is going to be Mick Foley! Now, another thing he'd like to make right is the reinstatement to RAW of Stone Cold Steve Austin! Last week, he brought out a petition and as of now, we have over half a million signatures saying we want Stone Cold back on RAW. But they need more, so he brought out another petition so that tonight in Anaheim, California...
The music of La Resistance hit in the arena and they made their way out to the ring with their French flags. Rob Conway took the mic and asked Foley if he says he's out here to make things right? Does he call humiliating them last week on live TV making things right? Well he's not right. Look at him, he's nothing but a joke and America is a joke as well! Rene said that as we all know, French are better lovers and they are better fighters as well. Rob Conway told Mick that Eric Bischoff assured them that their jobs are safe and now it's their turn to humiliate Mick Foley, starting with him saluting the French Flag, right here, right now. If he doesn't, they will introduce him to a beating, French style. Foley went over what they just said and he said that he has nothing against French things. He likes French Fries, French Toast and he even likes French's mustard, but he doesn't like La Resistance. So if they think they'll beat the crap out of him, go ahead but he's not going to stand out here and salute that damn Flag. Rene told Foley that they'll have no problem kicking his ass and they backed Mick Foley into the corner until The Rock's music hit and he made his way out to the ring!
The fans chanted "Rocky, Rocky" in unison and The Rock took the mic and said "Finally, The Rock has come back to Anaheim!" The Rock cleared something up; he came out here tonight to surprise his friend Mick Foley and to surprise the millions and millions of The Rock's fans. But see, The Rock is a little confused because The Rock knows everybody here. He knows Mick Foley, the people and he knows Ross and Lawler. Rock knows Lilian Garcia, the camera man but The Rock doesn't know two people; these two. So help The Rock, tell The Rock "who in the blue hell are you two French popcorn farts anyway?" They started to tell him but The Rock cut they off, saying it doesn't matter who they are. The Rock said they come out here running their mouth about how they're going to beat him French style. What are they going to do, French kiss him to death? Rock asked them one question; how's your lips? How do they like their lips? Do they like them where they are because if they keep running their mouths, The Rock is going to slap them right off their faces and there will be two lips in the ring flopping around like goldeens! Rock continued on but Rene Dupree interrupted him, telling him to show them respect because this Sunday at Armageddon is the Tag Team Turmoil. He and his partner are going to become the new Tag Team Champions. How does Rocky like that? The Rock said that first of all, he's not Rocky, he's The Rock. The Rock is excited about Armageddon but they're not going to win the tag titles. Why? Because their French and because they suck. And here's another thing, they have the nerve to say that if the French Army went to Iraq and found the weapons of mass destruction, the war would be over? Hah. The French army is pussies. The only thing strong about them is their damn body odor. They run their mouth and want to try to beat on Mick Foley two on one, now they can try to show them how tough they are, two on two! Mick said mark his words, you don't want to mess with the Sock and Rock Connection! Rock said "you bet your ass" but then he turned to Mick, telling him that it's the Rock and Sock Connection. La Resistance then got some cheap shots in on The Rock and Foley and then they dumped The Rock over the top rope to the outside of the ring and Foley fought off La Resistance in the ring, or tried to. La Resistance double teamed Foley until The Rock got back in the ring and exploded on both members of La Resistance, knocking Rene Dupree to the outside of ht erring with a clothesline and then giving Rob Conway the Rock Bottom. Rene Dupree got back in the ring and knocked The Rock down with a clothesline and then he started hopping around the ring like a fairy until The Rock nipped back up to his feet and gave Rene Dupree a number of right hands and then Mick Foley put Mr. Socko on Rene Dupree and then he shoved him into the spinebuster slam by The Rock. The Rock then gave Rene Dupree the people's elbow and the crowd was HOT for this segment. Rob Conway got back in the ring and The Rock gave him the spinebuster as well and then Foley said that it's his turn for the people's elbow and he did his version of it.
The fans then chanted "Rocky, Rocky" and Mick told them that they better run, if they smellalal... The Rock took the mic and said he's got a lot of love for Mick, but don't you ever and The Rock means ever steal The Rock's catch phrases... if you smellalalalou what The Rock is cookin'! After a few moments of posing in the ring, The Rock picked up the petition and signed it in an attempt to help bring back Stone Cold Steve Austin to RAW!
