Opening Segment
RAW kicks off with the guy that was AWARDED to title, Triple H. HHH says that every place he goes, he gets the same damn thing, "You're going to lose your title to Rob Van Dam." HHH says that he isn't scared of Rob Van Dam, and as much as the fans love him, RVD isn't championship material. HHH says that he is suppose to be scared because RVD got lucky with one frog splash. He says that RVD can't cut the mustard, but he can. HHH says that he's the greatest world champion ever (ya right). He says he's got the talent, the ability and the brains. RVD doesn't stand a chance with him. He says that what pisses him off the most is when fans chant RVD. It's that kind of disrespect that gets under his skin. HHH starts saying he is the champ, he is the game.... Then, RVD comes out.
RVD says that he hears HHH saying that he's not concerned about him. He says that HHH is stressed out. It's coming off as anger. What are you angry for anyways? Because of RVD's cool moves. RVD says that's what he's all about. RVD says that it's the way he is, he's amazing. HHH says "yea, you're amazing." HHH says that he is angry, and that's the reason he is the world champion. That anger is the reason he sells out arenas and headlines PPVs. RVD says that he doesn't want any misunderstandings, HHH is good and all that, and he can spit some what! He can take it to another level by spitting water. RVD makes fun of him. RVD says that spitting water out takes talent. HHH says that RVD is a funny guy and he can see why the people love him. HHH says RVD is like the fans, an under-achiever. The fact is that RVD isn't championship material and that he'll never be world champion. RVD talks back to him and says that he is the next world champion. HHH went to kick RVD, but RVD caught his foot and did a spinning kick.
