April 3. 2000
The night after WrestleMania 16. Mick Foley announced that he was retiring from wrestling and that he was vacating the World Wrestling Federation Championship. Ric Flair's music then hit and Flair came out to thank Foley for his contribution to the World Wrestling Federation and that is why he is announcing that he has stepped down as WWF Commissioner and has now given the reigns to Mick Foley. Foley & Flair celebrated. Foley announced that in his first act as WWF Commissioner that the WWF Championship would be held in a Tournament at Backlash. 16 men would battle, but the final 2 would wrestle for the title at Backlash. Foley announced that Triple H, The Rock, Owen Hart, Eddie Guerrero, Kane, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, Hardcore Holly, Tazz, X-Pac, Rikishi, The Big Show, The Big Bossman, The Godfather, The Road Dogg & Val Venis would all be a part of the Tournament. DX came down with Vince McMahon & Shane McMahon & Stephanie. Triple H said that Foley may be commissioner now, but his first night as commissioner is going to end with a beating that he almost gave him at WrestleMania 16 just as DX circled the ring to attack Foley & Flair. Stone Cold Steve Austin's face appeared on the titantron and then said that he's been out in the parking lot to demonstrate on what he was doing at WrestleMania 16 to cost Triple H the title. Austin said that he's been known for tearing shit up in the middle of the ring, but he's doing a demonstration to the DX express and that they were going to witness what happened right now. Austin then put up a crane into the express and it exploded with DX in horror and shock. Austin said that he was coming to the ring to finish what he started at WrestleMania. Foley & Flair were waiting for Austin to show up and before they did. DX started to attack. Then suddenly The Rock's music hit and alongside him was Kane & Rikishi followed by Stone Cold Steve Austin. A brawl broke out between the Faction and The Rock, Mick Foley, Ric Flair, Kane, Rikishi & Austin and it ended with The Faction retreating but X-Pac would be the sacrifical lamb as he got the Rock Bottom, The Mandible Claw, The Chop, Chokeslam, Stinkface & A Stone Cold Stunner to end RAW!. |
