We're shown a recap of the events involving the WCW invasion on Raw.

No chance cause that's what you got. Vince McMahon makes his way to the ring. Tazz and Michael Cole are commentating. He asks if we smell it. It stinks in there. MSG use to be hallowed ground. No more. MSG stinks. MSG stinks of the wretch of WCW. He use to be proud to stand in MSG, but no longer because ever since Raw, when WCW stars Mike Awesome, DDP, and Booker T invaded this hallowed ground. He's not proud to be there anymore. MSG use to be the most famous arena in the world. It might as well be the Nassau Coliseum because there is no difference. MSG will never be the same again. Shane at WWF NY makes the excuse of being blocked in tv time so he has to show his face. He is doing everyone a favor by preventing Shane from showing WCW. He challenges Shane to bring the WCW stars to Smackdown. He says they will kick their collective asses.

Here comes Linda McMahon to the ring. Vince says it's a pleasant surprise. It's his wife Linda. Linda says she knows he didn't mean what he said about MSG. She knows how passionate he is about that facility. She knows that it took years of McMahons to build MSG. She remembers Classie Freddie Blassie, Gorilla Monsoon all honored his dad getting inducted into the Hall of Fame. Linda wants Vince to look at something.

The Ovaltron shows Vince saying he wanted a divorce from Linda. Vince tells her to listen and that he's changed. He says he's not that same man. He's changed. He's trying to be reasonable and trying to work things out with her so they don't have to go through the divorce stuff. He says Linda knows he's changed. He's a loving, faithful, caring husband. Somewhere down deep she knows that he cares very much for her and he still loves her.

Linda asks what he said. He says he loves her. Linda says somewhere down his twisted self he probably loves her. She's not here tonight to do that. She says he said he's a reasonable and changed man. She says Vince would let Shane show some WCW stars. She says since there are a lot of WWF and WCW fans, to allow some WCW matches on Raw and Smackdown next week if he's a reasonable man.

Vince says it's the most ridiculous idea he's ever heard. Hell no.

Linda says she's got another idea. Give the crowd the ultimate event. Late next month they have a PPV called Fully Loaded. Instead give the crowd a WCW vs. WWF invasion.

Vince says that he's not afraid of competition and he'll make it Invasion at the PPV. He will put Shane McMahon and WCW out of business. He says you're on.

Linda leaves.

The APA is shown in a locker room with the same wrestlers on Monday. Faarooq says he can't believe WCW would have the audacity to invade them. He'll be damned if anyone is gonna take food out of his mouth. MSG was built by the McMahons and all of them and they're gonna take it back. What happened with Booker T on Monday won't happen again. Bradshaw makes sure they know all their places and what to do. All the wrestlers say they do. Bradshaw says that tonight they're gonna get medieval on someone's ass tonight in the Big Apple.
