THE ROCK DESTROYS THE D-X EXPRESS
After the McMahons betrayed the Rock and costed him the WWF Championship the Rock wanted revenge on Degeneration-X and Vince McMahon. The RAW after WrestleMania Vince bought Triple H and Stephanie a nice new gift, a beautiful luxury tour bus they named "the D-X Express". Earlier in the night we see how much Stephanie and Triple H are lounging in their new bus. They head to the ring to celebrate with the rest of Degeneration-X and the McMahons. Triple H talks about how this is his World Wrestling Federation and nobody will ever take away his championship. All of a sudden the Rock appears on the titan-tron. He tells Triple H that since he couldnt take away his WWF Championship belt he's going to take away something else, the D-X Express, the camera pans out to see the Rock is in control of a crane. D-X and the McMahons are freaking out in the middle of the ring telling the Rock not to drop the steel beam on the bus. The Rock says to take this bus, shine it up real nice, and stick it up alllll your candy asses and then drops the beam on the bus and the bus explodes!
 the Rock destroys the D-X Express |

RAW Is WAR - First Union Center - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - April 17, 2000
TAZZ BEATS TRIPLE H TO WIN THE WWF CHAMPIONSHIP; BUT THE DECISION IS OVERTURNED
RAW Is WAR opens up with Tazz coming out to an outstanding ovation from the Philly crowd. Tazz talks about how when he was the champion of ECW he wasnt a coward like the champion the WWF has. He goes on to say when he was champion he would take on all challengers not hide behind a woman. Triple H's music hits and him and Stephanie come down to the ring to confront Tazz. Triple H said heres the thing, you said when you WERE a champion, you arent the champion, I am! Tazz says he can change that, right here right now and challenges Triple H to a match. Triple H laughs at Tazz and says he needs a warm up for the Rock at Backlash. The match begins and Tazz starts throwing Triple H around, Triple H rolls out of the right but Tazz catches him with another suplex on the outside. They get back in the ring and have a back and forth battle. Tazz then puts the Katahajime on Triple H who eventually passes out from the chokehold, Triple H passes out with his foot underneath the rope and the referee rings the bell, TAZZ IS THE NEW WWF CHAMPION. Triple H wakes up to Stephanie realizing that he lost the WWF Championship belt. Triple H storms to the back and finds his Father-in-law Vince McMahon. He screams that he never tapped and his leg was underneath the rope and hes still the WWF Champion. McMahon said not to worry and to follow him to the ring and he'll make everything alright. Vince gets in the ring with a furious Triple H and gets on the mic. He shows the replay and its clearly that Triple H's leg was underneath the rope. Vince McMahon overturns Tazz' win and makes it a no contest. Tazz comes back out and tells Vince that this is bullshit. He throws the WWF Championship down before Triple H and Stephanie scurry away with the championship belt leaving Vince McMahon behind in the ring with Tazz. Tazz puts the Katahajime on Vince while the crowd cheers and Tazz said Vince McMahon you were my last victim before Tazz announced his retirement.  Triple H mightve walked out of SmackDown! as champion, but not before Tazz put him to sleep. |

RAVEN SMASHES FTW CHAMPIONSHIP: RENAMES IT THE WWF HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP
After having more names than Puff Daddy, the WWF Europ...WWF Americ....the FTW Champion Raven came down to the ring. He said that this belt represents a dead company, a company that he never wants to think about ever again. Raven takes the FTW Championship belt and smashes it right in front of Tazz (whos now doing color commentary with Michael Cole). He grabs duck tape and now with a makeshift championship belt he now says you can refer to this as the WWF Hardcore Championship and this championship can be defended ANYTIME 24/7, NO RULES, ANY WEAPONS, ANYBODY. As Raven is making his announcement Crash Holly comes runs out to the ring with a stop sign, Crash swings at Raven, Raven ducks and hits Crash with a DDT and pins him. Raven says "yeah, just like that".
 the WWF Hardcore Champion, Raven. |

AUSTIN SPRAYS THE CORPORATION WITH BEER
After losing the WWF Championship to the Rock and the return of the Texas Rattlesnake Stone Cold Steve Austin, Backlash 2000 wasnt a very good night for the Corporation. The next night on RAW, it wasnt going to get any better. The Corporation came out (Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon, Triple H, Stephanie, Gerald Brisco and Pat Patterson) and demanded that Stone Cold Steve Austin come out here and deal with the repercussions of his interference last night. Austin came down to the ring but he was driving a BEER TRUCK. Austin got out of the truck and grabbed the beer hose and started spraying it wildly in the ring soaking all the members of the Corporation. The Rattlesnake got on top the truck, fkppped the Corporation the middle finger and drank some beer in the only way Stone Cold knows how.
