Stacker 2 Burn of the Week Stone Cold attacks everyone on Smackdown.

Triple H and Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley make their way to the ring to Triple H's new music. Triple H says everywhere he goes it's the same thing. He hears it from everyone he meets. Everyone tells him to kick Austin's ass for him. The waiter at the restaurant, the idiot carrying his bags at the hotel. Nothing would make him happier than to drag Stone Cold Steve Austin down that ramp, drag him into the ring and finish him once and for all in front of all the fans. An Austin chant breaks out. Triple H says they can cheer, but he won't come. Triple H says unless he is physically provoked by Steve Austin, he will leave him alone for the time being.

Stephanie says order will be maintained here tonight. The man that will maintain that order LIVE via satellite from 2000 miles away. Vince comes on the Titan Tron in XLF gear. Steph asks how it's going. Vince says the XFL is going very well and things are going to get interesting tonight even though he's not going to be there. McMahon says is Triple H physically provokes Austin, he will lose his number one contendership. If Austin provokes Triple H, he will lose his opportunity to be in the Rumble matchup. Since Austin likes 6-man matches, Vince is going to put him in one. Tonight, it will be Stone Cold Steve Austin teaming with the Dudley Boyz against the tag team champions and the World Wrestling Federation Champion.

Triple H says it's funny Kurt Angle is the WWF Champion because Triple H has allowed it. Kurt Angle has never had a one-on-one title match with him. Triple H's attention has been diverted elsewhere. His attention has been else where. Right now, his attention is on being WWF Champion. He's sorry,but he'll have to end Angle's illustrious title reign. How illustrious it was. Triple H says this Sunday he can bring his friends, Nancy Kerrigan, hell, he can bring the whole 1980 Olympic hockey team. Triple H will get what he wants and there's not a damn thing Angle or anyone else can do about it.

Kurt Angle comes out and says it's his old friends the McMahon-Helmsley's. Angle says he loved Steph, but she blew it. He says last time Triple H was champion, was King of the Ring, which he won incidently. Angle says Donkey Kong himself has a better shot at taking the title than Triple H does. The difference between Triple H and Donkey Kong is that he's the big smelly ape people like. Angle says he hopes Steph can respect the fact that he needed to get someone to help him in his corner. Someone the McMahon-Helmsley family knows very well.

Trish Stratus comes out and says she thinks the world of Steph and Triple H, but when Kurt asked her to be in his corner, she couldn't say no. Whether it's Kurt Angle or Mr. McMahon himself, she just loves a man on top. Steph says since the word no doesn't seem to be a part of her vocabulary, she won't have problem with the match she's about tonight. Tonight, Trish will be in competition against the former WWF Women's champion, Jacky. It will be a spanking match.
