Chris Jericho is in front
of the camera. He announced that at Bragging Rights, there’d be a 7 on 7 tag
team match to determine which brand was superior. He said he was elected to be
the Captain of the Smackdown team and he would be choosing his team. Guest host
Nancy O’Dell interrupted him and informed him that they don’t start Raw with
people like Jericho… they kick it off with DX.
DX’s music hit and Triple H came out to the ring. The time keeper came in and
ran the laps around Triple H in HBK’s stead, before Triple H shooed him out of
the ring and prepared to speak. He went through his routine and let us know that
Shawn ‘had to stay home tonight’. He said he’d go ahead and pick the Raw team
himself tonight. But first he had to call his friend and embarrass him. He
called HBK’s phone and we got a self-sung message before they had a conversation
about his sick daughter and some awkward moments.
Triple H went to move along on the agenda, before Big Show and Chris Jericho’s
music hit and they came out to the ring. They had some back and forth while
Jericho put over the Smackdown brand. Triple H made fun of Smackdown having
great wrestling like the kind the Great Khali did. Jericho interrupted him and
put himself over some more before Triple H interrupted them and bred some
dissention between the heels, saying that Show just followed. Show responded by
saying he was the one who carried his team. Jericho didn’t like the remark and
asked him what he said and Show said he wasn’t the one who got pinned last week.
The two went at it verbally back and forth before Show said he didn’t want to be
on team Smackdown, he wanted to be on team Raw. Triple H said that was great,
but there weren’t any open spots. He said to get on the team he’d have to earn
his way on. Show said he understood that and asked him what he had to do. Triple
H said Raw GM Nancy O’Dell had decided there’d be a match tonight between Show
and Jericho. And it’ll take place right now… both are beside themselves.

Big Show vs. Chris Jericho
Jericho was placed in the corner by Show a few times as the big man more or less
mocked him. Jericho grabbed a go behind only for Show to toss him off with ease.
Jericho tried a chop, but it didn’t get him anywhere. Show turned him around and
chopped him hard in the corner.
Jericho tried to leave the ring, but Show reached over the top rope and lifted
him easily into the ring. Jericho slapped Show and as Show veered back, Jericho
attempted a code breaker. Big Show sat him easily on the top buckle before
Jericho slapped him yet again. Show lost it and cuffed Jericho, sending him
splatting to the outside of the ring. Jericho writhed in pain, making Show think
that he had injured his partner. Show went to check on Jericho who tried to
trick him into getting a count out win. Show caught him at the last minute and
threw him to the floor. Show leapt in under the bottom rope and beat the count.
Winner: Big Show via count out
