Triple H comes down to the ring and says that he’s heard everyone tell him how disappointed they were that he would attack his best friend Shawn Michaels, and he says that he and Michaels were never best friends as he used Michaels to get to the top while Michaels used him to stay at the top. He says that this is a business and he’s the better businessman as he’s held more World Titles, headlined more PPVs, and sold out more arenas than Michaels could do on his best day, and he says that he is better than Michaels even in his prime and he heard the people chanting his name 3 weeks ago when they almost reformed DX. He says that’s why he did what he did because that same sound has eaten away at him for 8 months and the crowd chanting his name made him soft and weak to the point that he was beaten by Hulk Hogan, and he says that the fact is that he’s no different than them in that the reality is they used him and he gave them a little bit of himself every day. He says that the more of himself he gave, he got weaker though it stops now and if they are pissed off, it’s because he’s speaking the truth and it’s the truth when he says he is coming to Summerslam to maim Michaels and end his career. He says that he’s ended careers before and Michaels will be no different as Michaels wants to show his son how to be a man, and he says that when this is done between them, Michaels can hold his son while in a wheelchair and show him what a man truly is by pointing at him. Just then, the Rock comes out on the stage and says that he has finally come back to Seattle as he comes down the ramp, and he says that Lesnar wants to play mind games with him by buying a front row ticket with that big walrus in Heyman. He says that Lesnar has bought himself a ticket to a Brahma Bull ass-whooping tonight though Triple H interrupts and asks who the hell Rock thinks he is, and Rock says that Triple H knows who he is as he will get in the ring and whoop his ass as he says that he is the most electrifying man in sports entertainment. He says that he’s also Undisputed Champion while Triple H isn’t and Triple H says that Rock left out one thing which is if he gets in this ring, he’s the guy that will get his ass kicked and Rock gets in the ring as he asks if Triple H wants to go one more time. Triple H says he would love to go and Rock tells him to get him a bologna sandwich since this doesn’t concern him, and they trade blows with Rock taking control and he hits a clothesline on Triple H as Lesnar hops the barricade and gets on the apron. Rock grabs at him only for Triple H to nail him and he gets a kick in as he hits the Pedigree on Rock while security ejects Lesnar and Heyman.

We see the Rock in Eric Bischoff’s office as Bischoff says Lesnar and Heyman have been ejected from the building and Rock says he’ll take Triple H instead, and Bischoff says he can’t commit to a match that big and Rock says he better find a way as Bischoff says he’ll see what he can do.

Howard Finkel is in the ring and says that he is the lead ring announcer for RAW as he says he is the first employee of WWE, and he says for the last 25 years no one has done it better than him though he does want to issue an apology to Lilian Garcia. He says that he’s sorry that she didn’t get what she got sooner than last week and he says since she’s been here, he’s had to swallow his pride watching her work though it’s better than what she had to swallow to get the job though suddenly Kane’s pyro goes off scaring Finkel.
 
We see Eric Bischoff with Rob Van Dam and the Hardy Boyz as Bischoff says that Kane is coming back which is good news, and he says that he can guarantee RVD an IC Title shot at Summerslam because it was in writing and Stacy Keibler has procured him the contract from Stephanie McMahon who wanted to destroy it. Matt Hardy then interrupts and says that RVD lost the IC Title to Chris Benoit so he should get a shot instead, and Bischoff says that RVD was guaranteed a rematch and Matt says he should get a shot at that then as Bischoff says he could give it to Jeff too. He says that he will flip a coin to determine who will face RVD and it comes up heads meaning Jeff gets the match, and he wishes them luck and walks away as Matt says it was unfair.
 
We see Chris Jericho and the Big Show talking backstage.

Final Analysis: Overall, this edition of RAW was a pretty solid show as we continue the build to Summerslam. With most of the card still not set in stone even with the main event already set, this was a good show to fill out the card for Summerslam as most of RAW’s matches are made here. We did get a title match as Dreamer still rules the Hardcore division while Nowinski, Molly, Booker, Jericho, Show, RVD, Triple H, and the Un-Americans get big wins, and in terms of the matches the main event was easily the best while the rest was standard for TV. 2002 has been an interesting year to this point as the summer has been pretty hot with both shows finding their identity, and as we head to Summerslam we will see which brand has the better night. As for this show, it is a pretty good show to continue the build to Summerslam. Final Grade: C+
