Eric Bischoff sits at his desk and is about to address the Raw Fans.
Bischoff: Greetings to all of my loyal Monday Night Raw fans out there, I of course, am you General Manager Eric Bischoff. To those of you who might have been underneath the proverbial rock for the past week, maybe I should fill you in, and restate to the rest of you, what has happened. Last Monday Night, within mere moments from going off the air, I, Eric Bischoff, took out the trash. I finally put a stop to the man that has been plaguing me for the past two months, I fired Bill Goldberg. I have shut the door on the Goldberg era, when one door closes, another one opens. Therefore, to help all of you fans get that piece of trash out of your poor, innocent minds, I have great news for you! I have made a huge talent acquisition, an old face returns to Raw soon, as a matter of fact, right here tonight! Trust me, I might have disappointed some of you last week, but tonight, all of you will be thanking me, right here tonight, prepare for a shocker, as a matter of fact, Chris Jericho, The Ayatollah of Rock N’ Rollah, will debut this superstar tonight, in another fantastic edition of Chris Jericho’s Highlight Reel! Remember, I am Raw’s General Manager, and I care about you the fans. (winks at the camera)
Pyros go off as the Raw theme plays.
JR: By God King, did you hear what Eric Bischoff just said?
King: Oh yea JR, I heard it, so did these 19,000 plus fans here in Miami, FL!
JR: That’s right, we are in the sunshine state, JR Jim Ross and Jerry the King Lawler here ringside for Monday Night Raw, King we are just 2 minutes into the broadcast and I am already busting with excitement and anticipation! Who could this free agent, new acquisition be?

Molly Holly’s music hits as the Women’s Champion comes down the ramp.
King: I am not Molly’s biggest fan JR, it’s because of her Trish isn’t in the title hunt! If Trish isn’t even in my sight, I am not a happy man, let alone the title race!

Molly shoots back up and Gail nails a third arm drag into an arm lock on the Women’s Champion. Gail puts the pressure on the Women’s Champion as Molly starts to rise up to break the hold. Gail puts more pressure on but Molly reverses and twists Gail’s arm behind her back. She holds the lock for a couple seconds then lets her go then nails a huge forearm to the back of the head of Gail Kim. The ref warns Molly for the back of the head shot, but she waves him off and laughs. She goes to grab Gail, but Gail Kim gets her leg up and clocks Molly across the head with a heel kick.

Molly quickly slides back into the ring and covers Molly Holly 1…2…kickout! Molly picks her up and throws her in the corner.

Gail Kim gasps for air and falls front first onto the mat. Molly gets down and rolls her over for the cover 1…2…Gail gets her foot on the bottom rope and the ref breaks the count. Molly gets pissed and drags Gail out of the ring. She pulls her through under the bottom rope and Gail falls back first onto the outside floor.

WINNER: Gail Kim
JR: Oh lord! Gail Kim, in only her second match has defeated the Women’s Champion!
King: I can’t believe it! This has to be luck! Gail Kim made her debut last week and got herself the number one contender’s spot to Molly Holly, this week, in her second match, she gets a non title victory over the Women’s Champion? This is an amazing roll!
JR: She is on the path to becoming the greatest Diva in history if she can keep this up! Congratulations Gail!
BACKSTAGE:
Terri with Chris Jericho
Terri: I am standing here with…
Y2J: Let me save you the trouble. Terri, I will tell you who you are standing with, you are standing with Y2J, The Sexy Beast, the Ayatollah of Rock N’ Rollah, the Man of 1,004 holds, the man, whom tonight, will make history with his very own creation, the Highlight Real, you are standing with Chris Jericho! Alright, just needed to get that out of the way…go on…
Terri: Alright Chris, as you said, tonight, you will be making history tonight in the Highlight Reel. General Manager Eric Bischoff fired Bill Goldberg last week, and in return he says he made a huge signing, and this man will debut on Raw in your Highlight Reel, my question is, who is this mystery man?
Y2J: Terri, being Chris Jericho, you are the perfect guy, the most athletic, the most talented, the most handsome, the smartest, but saying is, you can’t know everything, and that’s a question I don’t even know the answer to. I will be just as surprised as all of our great fans!
Terri: Well, do you, Chris, think it was wrong with what Eric Bischoff did last week firing Goldberg?
Y2J: Well, the way I look at it is that Eric Bischoff cut the contract of Goldberg to acquire the ching ching and the bling bling to sign this new superstar. Chris Jericho is down on the street Terri, don’t think I’m not! The Sexy Beast is full of bling bling and ching ching, aren’t you aware I was born in New York? They have more gangs there than anywhere in the world!
Terri: More than California?
Y2J: Hey, who has the mic here…I know you do, but close your mouth you might learn something, tonight in the Highlight Reel, I make history once more, Y-2-“Jeezie†breaks the walls down tonight and I promise you one thing, Raw will never…ever…be the same…again.

BACKSTAGE:
Coach with the Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy
Coach: Welcome back Jeff, and might I say congratulations on a hard fought match two weeks ago, in which you finally won the Intercontinental Championship. However, it wasn’t a celebrating night for you two weeks ago after getting ambushed in the parking lot, how are you feeling Jeff?
Hardy: I’m alright, I guess, Coach.
Coach: Alright, cool, Jeff, the wrestling world is a buzz, they are curious as to who attacked you last week, since this is the first time you are speaking since then, do you know who attacked you?
Hardy: Coach, I have no idea, he attacked me from behind, all I saw was a hooded figure, he knew what he was doing though. He picked his spots, I was vulnerable, and that was his opening and he went for it.
Coach: Well with that point taken, everyone has felt horrible about what happened to you, especially…
Christian walks into the shot.
Hardy: Christian…
Christian walks up to him and hugs him.
Christian: I felt horrible when I heard Jeff, I hope you are okay man. I know I kind of beat you up a little in that match, but I hope we can put that past us.
Hardy: Alright Christian, what do you want, another title shot? What?
Christian: Jeff, I don’t think you heard, I was taken to the hospital after our match two weeks ago, this is my first night back too, the hospital visit was a very humbling experience to say the least, but a title shot? No, I don’t take things that are handed to me, if I want another title shot, I will earn one, but I don’t think I am ready for a title shot Jeff, I want something…more…I just can’t put my finger on it…but, hey, I got to go Jeff, good luck on finding out you accused assaulter, if you need any help with that you know my number, call me…
Christian walks away.
JR: Wow, Christian sure has turned over a new leaf to say the least, but the real question is, who attacked Jeff Hardy?

Coach with Triple H, Randy Orton, and Batista
Coach: I am standing here with the Animal Batista, the Legend Killer Randy Orton, and the game himself, Triple H. Gentlemen, you have requested this time, so if you please…
HHH: Good thing you wrapped that up Coach, if you would have went any longer I just would have walked away, camera hog…Anyways, I reserved this time to tell something to a certain someone. That someone, being the 16 Time World Heavyweight Champion, my mentor, Ric Flair, Ric, if you are listening, get well buddy, I got Big Dave and the Legend Killer behind me, Evolution is nothing without you man, hope to see you back on Raw very…
JR: Oh come on! We see right through this Triple H!
HHH: …very, soon. Ric, I know HBK Shawn Michaels meant to hurt you, some say it was an accident, hell, everyone thinks that, except me, and, deep down inside, I think you think it too. Shawn never wanted to be your friend Ric, he did what he always does, he uses people for one advantage, himself. He is in this business, not for the fans…
JR: Oh lord, this is despicable!
HHH: …not for the you, not for me, he just tries to better himself without no disregard for you or anyone else. HBK is a tyrant and needs to be stopped. He stole my title away from me last week! He should have been taken out of that match because he hit you Ric with a damn sledgehammer! I don’t even know where he got that thing Ric!
JR: Oh that’s the last straw! King! This is ridiculous!
King: Hush up and let the Game talk!
HHH: With all that aside, Ric, get well, and Ric, look at me when I tell you, I will vow vengeance on Shawn at Bad Blood! I will put HBK and his tyrant ways down once and for all! It all begins tonight, me and the Legend Killer, Randy Orton, will take on the “5 Time Wimpy Championship Wrestling heavyweight champion, and the man of the hour himself, Shawn Michaels in the main event. Ric, I know you’re watching, tonight, I dedicate this match to you! Get well buddy!

Y2J: Point taken, so, since this is your first opportunity to grace the stage that is the Highlight Reel, how do you like it?
Taker: I got to admit Jericho, you did well for yourself, real well, but, I heard you had a little World title match 2 weeks ago, what happened there man, why aren’t you wearin’ gold?
Y2J: Hmmm, uhhh, well thank you all for coming, I hope you enjoyed the Highlight Reel….aw, I am just kidding, that’s what I do, but seriously, whole conspiracy, actually, HBK and Ric Flair, it gets kinda messy from there, but, now that you, Big Evil, are on Raw, I have got to ask, what’s first on the list for the Deadman?
Taker: Well Jericho, now that I am back on Raw, I have a reputation to uphold, seeing is that your next PPV is only 3 weeks away, I am now in search for a worthy opponent that can lock it up with the Deadman in his return match to Raw…you say you ask the tough questions, well, boy, let me ask you one, what are you doing in 3 weeks?
JR: The crowd is going insane! I think the Undertaker just challenged Chris Jericho!
Y2J: Is that a challenge Taker?
Taker: You can call it whatever you want Chris, all I want is an answer…
