- The show kicked off with a video of what led up to The Undertaker and The Big Show alliance on the 7/26 Raw is War.
- The Big Show and The Undertaker, along with Paul Bearer, made their ways out for an interview. They came out to new entrance music, with purple and orange lighting. Bearer said he was proud to introduce the both of them. Big Show said everyone wanted to know "why." He said in the WWF, only the strong survive, and that was what he and The Undertaker were. He called themselves the most dominant force. He said no one was safe, from Kane to Stone Cold Steve Austin. He promised there would be pain, carnage, and armageddon. The Undertaker discussed matters on Kane, saying Big Show had it, and Kane didn't. He said when he was born, he was given two gifts - supernatural and the ability to hate without reason. He said Kane didn't have hatred, but rather compassion. He mentioned that he and Big Show put X-Pac in the hospital. He said he hated everyone and everything, including Big Show. He said at sometime down the line, he would stick a knife in Big Show, but Big Show understood that. He said Kane was weak. He mentioned that he wasn't done with Austin, saying the next time he saw him, he would take out Austin's heart and eat it. The "Austin" chants started. He told everyone to be afraid, because it was time for hatred and evil. He said there was nothing no one could do about it and told everyone they could go straight to hell. The Acolytes made their ways out near the entrance-way. Faarooq said Big Show and The Undertaker had been watching too many movies, as they mentioned argmageddon. He said what he saw in the future was people getting their ass kicked, and that was Big Show and The Undertaker. Both Faarooq and Bradshaw said if Big Show and The Undertaker were looking for a fight, they (The Acolytes) were ready. The Undertaker called them ungrateful sons-of-bitches. The Undertaker told The Acolytes just to remember who would take them home. A Tag Team Title match between the two sides was set for later in the show.
- Edge defeated Meat (w/PMS) with the Downward Spiral. Christian and Gangrel looked onto Edge from the crowd. In the match itself, Meat, at one point, went for the Meat Grinder, but Edge countered. He later took Meat down with a spear, after Meat came off the top rope and hit the finisher for the win. Following the match, Terri Runnels scolded Meat, but with Meat getting on his knees and kissing Runnels' feet, everything turned out fine for him.
- Chaz defeated Prince Albert by Disqualification. Albert came out and said he wanted to beat on the New Jersey boy, Chaz. He claimed Chaz' girlfriend, Mariana, had been checking him out. He said doctors wouldn't allow him to wrestle, but he would be willing to make a woman out of Mariana, so much she would be begging for a tatoo on her ass. Chaz ran down to beat on Albert, only to be attacked by Vic Grimes (no in-ring name given). The referee was knocked out at this point, as more officials made their ways in. Grimes nailed Chaz with an amazing spinning guillotine legdrop. He and Albert took off in the crowd together, as Mariana helped Chaz to the back.
- Steve Blackman and Mideon went to a No-Contest. Blackman pulled out his bag of weapons and used several on Mideon, from clubs to kendo sticks. He pulled out his stick with sharp blades at the end, at which point officials ran down to get Mideon out of the ring, in a match that lasted about a minute.
- Earl Hebner played the crowd. He threw some crotch chops and motioned for some women to lift up their t-shirts.
- The Acolytes defeated The Undertaker and The Big Show (w/Paul Bearer) by Disqualification, to retain the Tag Team Titles. After being knocked into the ringpost on the outside, The Big Show went for a chair. He was about to use it, but was knocked back to the outside. The Undertaker, however, grabbed the chair and used it on The Acolytes, resulting in the DQ. Big Show also used it once he recovered from the hard land he took on the outside. Hardcore Holly then made his way down, smiling. He joined in on the attack on The Acolytes. He went to the outside and argued with Big Show, but Big Show ended up letting Holly go, without The Undertaker attacking him.
- Jeff Jarrett came out for an interview, along with Debra. The "puppies" chants were everywhere. Jarrett said the crowd needed to be neutered. He said there wouldn't be no puppies, because he wouldn't allow it, since he was the greatest Intercontinental Champion of all-time. He said D-Lo Brown had no right sticking his nose in Jarrett's business, as footage rolled of Jarrett attacking Ben Stiller on the 7/26 Raw is War where D-Lo made the save. He said D-Lo was as sick as the fans. He made a challenge to D-Lo for the following night's Raw, with Intercontinental Title vs. European Title. He said he would take D-Lo to school, and become the greatest European Champion of all-time.
- The Hardy Boyz (w/Michael Hayes) defeated Papi Chulo and Sho Funaki. Hayes did color commentary with Michael Cole and Kevin Kelly. The Hardy Boyz came out to a huge pop. Matt started posing to the crowd, after executing his spinning senton backsplash (which he was almost severely injured from, after basically landing on his neck). Hayes got up from the announcer's position, got onto Matt, and later returned. High-flying maneuvers were executed by both teams. The Hardy Boyz took the win after Matt nailed Funaki with a top rope Neckbreaker.

• RAW IS WAR TAPING, AIRDATE: 8/2
- Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler came out to separate entrance music. Both received big pops.
- The Acolytes immediately made their ways out for the interview, without the cameras taking shots of the crowd after the fireworks went off, even though the ring announcer said that would happen. Bradshaw said he and Faarooq would wait until The Undertaker and The Big Show brought their punkasses out. Faarooq said their dead asses would come to an end. Hardcore Holly made his way out instead. He said it was The Acolytes' lucky night. He said "his boys" weren't in attendance for the Raw show, but he was, the leader of the super heavyweights. He asked The Acolytes what they wanted to do. Bradshaw asked Holly which of them did he want to take on. Holly said he wanted both of The Acolytes. He ran in the ring and was completely destroyed. He received the Clothesline from Hell, the Dominator, and the Double Powerbomb.
- In a Bloodbath Match, Edge defeated Gangrel. A bucket of blood was placed on a big box on the outside of the ring. Gangrel dominated Edge and was onto every maneuver Edge executed. Gangrel later brought in a chair, which Edge ended up kicking into the face of Gangrel, but Gangrel was once again back on top. Edge later went for the spear, but ended up ramming into the chair Gangrel was holding. Gangrel then nailed Egde with the Implant DDT. He went for the bucket of blood, at which point the lights went off. When they returned, Gangrel was covered in blood, with Christian standing next to him, obviously the one who poured the liquid. Edge automatically took the win. Christian walked in the ring and hugged Edge, meaning they were officially a team. They exited through the crowd. They had to do that spot twice where they hugged and exited through the crowd for an unknown reason.
- Shane McMahon came out for an interview. The "Asshole" chants immediately started. Shane said after his father, Vince McMahon, had worked hard for 27 years in the wrestling business, he (Vince) had made his last television appearance on the 7/26 Raw is War. He went on about his father, saying he was the man with the balls the size of grapefruits. He said he prayed his father would receive respect from the crowd, since he was the one who made the WWF. He was hoping his father would receive a farewell party and a farewell bigger than Michael Jordan's. Shane looked over to Jim Ross, and said he would get to Ross later, after Ross had the crowd sing "Nah, nah, nah, nah ... Oh Hell Yeah ... Goodbye" to McMahon. The crowd started to sing the song. Shane said his father made the WWF what it was today. He said it was built into the best brand in entertainment. He said without Vince, we wouldn't be in the Jerome Schottenstein Center watching Raw, or there wouldn't be PPV and merchandise. He said there also wouldn't be Ted Turner's WCW rasslin'. He said most of the roster of WCW had stars that his father had built. He questioned what would happen know. He said he had been speaking with Triple H, who had guaranteed a Heavyweight Title victory of Stone Cold Steve Austin at the Summerslam PPV, in a match that would see Jesse Ventura as the Guest Referee. He announced that The Corporation was officially allowed to go out and do whatever they wanted to do on their own, until it was time to regroup. He said his focus would be Test. He said The Mean Street Posse would make sure Test didn't forget the name Shane McMahon. He told Test to stay away from Stephanie. Test then made his way out near the entrance-way. He said he told Shane and the Posse to stay out of his and Stephanie's business once before, but they didn't. He said he would go after each Posse member, from Fat Ass Pete Gas, Rodney, and Joey Abs, until he finally got to Shane. He said he would take the silverspoon out of Shane's mouth and stick it up his ass.
- In a title vs. title match, D-Lo Brown defeated Jeff Jarrett (w/Debra) via Pinfall, to capture the Intercontinental Title. When D-Lo took the advantage, Debra entered the ring with both the Intercontinental and European Title belts. D-Lo hit the Sky-High on Jarrett, at which point the referee was knocked out. Debra showed off her puppies to D-Lo, but instead of being distracted, D-Lo used one of the belts on the head of Jarrett to take the win.
- The Big Show and The Undertaker (w/Paul Bearer) defeated Road Dogg and Kane with The Undertaker's Tombstone. RD came out, saying he wasn't stupid enough to come out alone to face Big Show and The Undertaker. He said he was lean, green, and he had that big red machine. The crowd was hot in the beginning, as RD and Kane double clotheslined both Big Show and The Undertaker out of the ring. The heels soon took the advantage, working on RD. Kane continually attempted to get in the ring to help his partner. RD was about to make the tag after low-blowing Big Show, but The Undertaker pulled him back in. RD then low-blowed The Undertaker, made the hot tag to Kane, and went down to the outside where he lay for the rest of the match. Kane gave The Undertaker a chokeslam and set him up for the Tombstone, but was distracted by Big Show, who was on top of the ring. Kane went after Big Show, but his neck was snapped against the ropes, causing him to be slingshotted into The Undertaker, who executed the Tombstone for the win. Big Show and The Undertaker's attack continued on Kane and RD. The Acolytes were about to make the save, but were taken down with a baseball bat, courtesy of Hardcore Holly. Holly once again had words with Big Show. He ran to the back, and The Acolytes tried to run after him. As Kane and RD made their ways back, RD gave the crowd a marijuana gesture.
- Mr. Ass did an interview, along with Chyna, who was wearing a hat. Ass said he was in town to talk about ass. He called The Rock the People's Ass, as it was announced both would go one-on-one at the Summerslam PPV. "Rocky" chants started. After bragging about his ass, Ass said he caught The Rock coming out of the shower and took a picture of his ass. Ass had some footage rolled on the Titan Tron, which was basically an African-American woman with a completely exposed big, fat blubbery rear. The Rock appeared on the Titan Tron. He said he had finally came back to Columbus, Ohio. He said the entire crowd knew whose ass that really was, which was Ass' fat-ass mom. The Rock did his usual lines, where he said he would stick things up Ass' and Chyna's candyasses. He talked about drops of tears falling from Ass' face, and drops of piss falling down from his pants. He continued with his taunts and insults. After The Rock's music got done playing, Ass' came on. He showed off his thong to the crowd.
- The Big Bossman defeated Viscera, to retain the Hardcore Title. The match immediately went in the the crowd, near the Titan Tron. A guardrail was used. Viscera went for his Big Splash with Bossman on a table, but ended up hitting nothing but wood, as Bossman moved out of the way. After beating down Viscera with his nightstick, Bossman made the pin.
- Stone Cold Steve Austin did an interview. He said the things Triple H said on the 7/26 Raw is War, were trash and B.S. He said Triple H could study all the taped he wanted, have a Phd, and be smart, but his ass would still be whipped in their Heavyweight Title match at the Summerslam PPV. The Big Show and The Undertaker, along with Paul Bearer, made their ways out. The Undertaker said Austin could talk-to-talk, but wanted to see if he could walk-to-walk. He said he wanted another title shot, or as Austin would say, he would stomp a mudhole in Austin's ass. Austin was attacked and was left laying in the ring. He was slow getting up and making his way to the back. The crowd was expecting Austin to do something big, but nothing happened. A title match between Austin and The Undertaker was set for later in the show.
- Test defeated Rodney via Submission. Test was immediately attacked by both Rodney and Joey Abs as he made his way down, although the advantage for Rodney didn't last long. Test was soon back on top, throwing around Rodney on the outside and working on his right arm. He executed two elbow drops on it. He later made Rodney submit after holding up Rodney and his arm. Following the match, Test continued the punishment, as Rodney's arm was put in a chair and landed on. Abs made his way back down, but was scared off by Test. Test took one more shot at Rodney's arm.
- Steve Blackman and Val Venis went to a No-Contest. Before the match, Blackman had the footage rolled where he ran over Ken Shamrock on the 7/26 Raw is War. He said he didn't know Shamrock was even there. He said he didn't need a car to take out Shamrock, but only his hands and feet, which was the reason they called him the Lethal Weapon. Val Venis did his sexual joke, comparing himself to the Internet. As Blackman took the advantage, Shamrock ran in with a chain. He and Blackman ran through the crowd. Shamrock destroyed Blackman with the chain to the backstage area. As Shamrock was held back by officials, Blackman escaped, crawling through a door. Shamrock was set free and went through the door, but there was no sign of Blackman.
- Referee, Earl Hebner once again played the crowd.
- Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker (w/The Big Show, Paul Bearer) went to a No-Contest, to let Austin retain the Heavyweight Title. There was a lot of stalling when Big Show and The Undertaker made their ways in. Austin made his way out in regular clothing, at which point Triple H stormed to the ring. He got in The Undertaker's face and told him that he (The Undertaker) would have to go through him (Triple H) before getting to Austin since he was the number-one contender. He said he would be the one to defeat Austin for the title. Austin ran in, as he and Triple H beat on Big Show and The Undertaker. The Acolytes then ran in to help Austin and Triple H. Kane and Road Dogg also joined in to help. Meanwhile, the help for Big Show and The Undertaker arrived, as Mr. Ass and Hardcore Holly entered. The Rock then came in and joined in the chaotic brawl. Austin gave Ass a Stunner, while Triple H gave RD a Pedigree. Triple H and Austin finally started to fight. The Acolytes went at it with Holly, Kane was battling with Big Show and The Undertaker, and The Rock was after Ass, until Ass was taken out with a Stunner. Triple H and Austin took it to the announcer's table. Austin dove off the ring, onto Triple H, who was on the table, but the table did not break. Back in the ring, Triple H was nailed with a Stunner. Big Show ran back down, only to receive a Stunner. Austin immediately headed to the back after delivering Stunners. As Big Show made his way to the back, Triple H attacked him from behind. Both brawled to the backstage area to end the show. The television show itself should go off air as Triple H and Austin are brawling.
