  1. KICKOFF: Vince McMahon & Stone Cold.
    • Mr. McMahon said he expected The Rock and Chris Jericho to beat the living hell out of each other during their match later that evening for the WCW Championship.
    • Mr. McMahon said he was ok with that as long as the two worked together after their match as key members of the Federation's team at Survivor Series.
    • The chairman said he had an announcement to make that night that would make Federation history.
    • Kurt Angle's defection to the Alliance last week wounded the Alliance, admitted Mr. McMahon.

    • Mr. McMahon proclaimed that a member of the Alliance's Survivor Series team would join the Federation during the upcoming Pay-Per-View's "Winner Take All" match.
    • But Mr. McMahon couldn't wait that long.
    • He felt he needed to let the cat out of the bag right there during RAW.
    • Vince announced that the man who would switch sides would be Stone Cold Steve Austin!
    • Before Mr. McMahon could explain the reasons for his assertion, the sound of broken glass signified the Texas Rattlesnake's journey to the ring.
    • The Federation Champion grabbed the microphone and stood less than a foot from Mr. McMahon's face.
    • You sure got a big mouth don't you son? Stone Cold growled. Who in the hell do you think you are?
    • Stone Cold refuted Mr. McMahon's claim.
    • Stone Cold said the bottom line was that Stone Cold Steve Austin has got to be Stone Cold Steve Austin.
    • With that, the Federation Chairman fell victim to a Stone Cold Stunner!
    • But the same sly grin that adorned Vince's face to open the show curled the corner of his lips as he slowly recovered from the devastating blow.
    • During the commercial break, Stone Cold was shown returning backstage where sneering members of the Alliance greeted their leader.

    • His fellow superstars didn't look convinced.
