Triple-H challenges the new WWF Champion The Rock to yet another "I Quit" Match tonight on "Raw," and the result of the match leaves the fans in shock. And speaking of The Rock, his bitter rival Mankind shows up to tell the world that "The Great One" may not have actually been successful in getting him to quit last night. The Big Boss Man & Ken Shamrock put their WWF Tag Team Titles on the line against Owen Hart & Jeff Jarrett in a rare heel vs. heel tag match. Shane McMahon forces Kane to publicly apologize until an unlikely ally tells "The Big Red Machine" that he should ditch The Corporation in favor of a different stable. Val Venis squares off with Test, but not before "The Big Valbowski" introduces us to his newest movie.... starring Ken Shamrock's sister. "The Road Dogg" & Al Snow team up to face Gangrel & Edge in a Hardcore Tag Team Match which takes place almost entirely backstage. Billy Gunn steps into the ring with Goldust, who is now being taunted by a bizarre copycat.
