Opening Segment

Chris Jericho comes out. In case that us (jackasses) haven't heard the news, welcome to Monday Night Jericho. He says that, as of this moment, this show is his show. He said, everyone is wondering why Chris Jericho came to RAW. He said that Eric Bischoff is a certified genius. Bischoff knows the difference between a superstar and a loser. He gives an example, him being the superstar and the fans being the losers. Most importantly, Eric Bischoff knows the difference between a superstar like Chris Jericho, and a has-been like Ric Flair. He says that Flair in his prime didn't have half the talent he has.

Triple H's music hits, and he comes out and gets in Jericho's face. HHH says that personally, he doesn't give a flying crap why Jericho is here. But there are two things he knows, #1, Shawn was attacked last week, and that person has not revealed himself yet. The other thing, is that Jericho and him hated each other since day one. HHH says that Jericho is a little bitter man. Ever since WrestleMania, he is sure that Jericho is trying to get even with him. What better way to get even with him, then by attacking Shawn Michaels. Jericho denies it. Jericho says that it was HHH who pedigreed Shawn Michaels two weeks ago. He called HHH a Cerebral Ass. HHH said that he pedigreed Shawn Michaels for his own good, and he still considers him his best friend. HHH says that he believes that Jericho didn't do it, because Jericho doesn't have the balls to do something like that. HHH says that he isn't leaving the arena until he finds out who attacked Shawn Michaels, and HHH leaves the ring. Jericho wishes HHH luck in solving his little mystery.

Rob Van Dam's music hits and he comes out. Jericho goes nuts and yells at RVD for interrupting him and asks him why the hell he's here. RVD said that he came out to tell him "Welcome to RAW." Jericho thanks him and said he appreciates it (in a sarcastic way). RVD says that he was listening to Jericho saying that he owns this show. RVD asks Jericho what's he smoking? RVD challenges Jericho, because there can only be one true Mr. Monday Night. Jericho accepts the challenge. He said that it's not RVD like these idiots chant, it's "Y2J". RVD says it's "RVD", Jericho says "Y2J, you stupid son of a", then RVD hits Jericho. They get into a small fight and Jericho scores a kick on RVD and leaves the ring.
