JR: How modest of you Triple H…
King: Oh come on JR, this is our World’s Champ you are talking about, show him some respect!
HHH: Last night at WrestleMania, the result was the same, the same as it always is, Evolution standing tall! I retained this World Heavyweight Championship last night, just like every single time I defend it, it doesn’t matter if your name is Kevin Nash, Mick Foley, The Rock, Stone Cold, the Undertaker, I have beaten them all! I am that damn good, and if there are any doubters left, you can all shove it, because if you want to say or not, deep down inside your pathetic little guts, all of you know I am speaking the truth! That leads me to tonight, you see, The Game is always up for a challenge, that’s why tonight, I am putting that whole locker room on notice, everyone in the back, because right here in this ring tonight I am giving you a shot at the Game. What more can any of those losers in the back want? I mean, the lights will be shining bright, Monday Night Raw, main event, and the man you will be in this ring with is the World Heavyweight Champion, I will tell you right now, it doesn’t get sweeter than that jack.

Spare me, he is the Game, and as he says, he is just that damn good, that’s the best, and only reason, he has had the World Championship for the past 5 months because he is that great, if he wasn’t as good as he says he is, he would have lost it by now!
HHH: Alright, alright, cut the music. Earlier tonight I issued an open challenge to any pathetic loser in the back that had the smallest inkling that he might stand a chance going one on one with the Cerebral Assassin. Ric, I don’t know about you, but when I walked into this building today and took a look at the talent we got in the back, I couldn’t help to think, no wonder Eric Bischoff values me so much, I am the only one worth while on this pathetic show! So, let’s poor the ratings in, because this show has sucked all night, and let’s get this challenge under way!

You are screaming and bitching in the middle of that ring how this show has sucked and how you draw all the ratings? Well I agree with you on one thing, this show has sucked, but the only reason it has sucked is because it hasn’t gotten its weekly dose of Y2J! Triple H, I didn’t come out here just to hear myself talk, I came out here because I am answering your open challenge!
HHH: Well Chris, if you want to get beaten by the Game…again, why don’t come down that ramp, and Shut the Hell Up!

Triple H gets up and Jericho runs towards him, but Triple H stops Jericho in his tracks with a Double-A Spinbuster. Triple H crumbles onto Chris Jericho covering him 1…2…kickout! Triple H gets up and signals it’s over. He picks Jericho up and sets him up for the Pedigree, but Y2J counters. He pulls Game’s legs from underneath him and sets him up for the Walls of Jericho and locks it in dead center in the middle of the ring. Triple H freaks out as Jericho gets it singed in deep. Triple H taps out.
WINNER: Chris Jericho
JR: By Gawd King! Jericho did it! Chris Jericho defeated the World’s Heavyweight Champion! He has played the Game and won!
King: Oh JR, you don’t know what this has done, this is more bad than good for sure! So what, Jericho has defeated the World’s Champ, big deal, but this is a loss on the perfect record of Triple H, and most of all, it was to Chris Jericho!?!?! Please, what an insult to Raw!
JR: You see Ric Flair isn’t too happy about this one, I tell you what, King you got to think, can this shadow some light on the Number one Contender spot to Triple H’s Championship?
King: If I was Eric Bischoff, I wouldn’t give the time of day to Chris Jericho!
JR: Well looks like many questions go unanswered, we’ll see you next week, from JR and the King, goodnight everybody!
