Highlights of Stone Cold getting people to sign his petition. This leads a match with Spike Dudley, and the
two Chris’s coming to the aid of Spike and Molly.

JR welcome us and say that there will be a Tag Team Title match, Dudley Boyz vs. Jericho & Benoit.

Spike Dudley and Molly came down. He said that he enjoyed the fact that he was in the ring challenging for the WWF Title. He would’ve been happy with that, but since Stone Cold attempted to nail Molly with a chair, he’s going to call out Austin. He says he wants a piece of Stone Cold. Molly is behind Spike all the way. Austin makes his way out. He says that he won’t let some $2 punk with a 5 cent haircut call him out to a title shot. Spike says that he just did. He then asks the crowd to give him a Hell Yeah if they want to see the title defense. Stone Cold says that it’s too bad, because he doesn’t deserve to be in the same ring as Austin. Austin then calls him a little rascal, and says that he has guts for calling out Stone Cold. Even though he has heart, Molly is still a bimbo. He calls Molly a $3 Tramp. Molly then smacks Austin! Austin laughs it off, he says that he won’t give a title shot, but they earn Austin’s respect. Austin goes to shake hands with LSD. He goes to shake hands with Molly, but gives her a STUNNER!!!! I like Molly and all, but that was damn cool!
