Raw May 8th

[Stephanie McMahon]

Fireworks shoot off. The camera pans the areana as the fans stand and cheer.

Jr: Hello everyone and welcome to Monday Night Raw! We are coming to you live from Omaha, Nebraska!

King: What an action packed night we had last week and tonight is sure to be even better!

Jr: Folks one of the more interesting match ups tonight is a tag team match. Charlotte Flair is still upset over how the match played out last week and she challenged Mickie to a tag team match. So it will be Charlotte and Lita taking on Mickie James and well we don't know who Mickie's partner is but she seems confident that she's going to have one tonight.

King: Well Mickie can stay as confident as she wants but I don't think Bayley will be much help. Mickie got lucky last week and we're going to see Charlotte's true skill here tonight.

Jr: So you believe Charlotte and Lita are gonna win tonight?

King: Heck yeah Jr. Count on it.

Chris Jericho's music hits the pa system. The fans boo. Jericho walks out on the stage and he turns his back to the fans and he poses.

The fans boo. Jericho smiles as he walks around the ring. He poses as he looks at the fans. Jericho then steps back into the center of the ring and he raises the mic.

Jericho: Ladies and gentlemen I must apologize. Yes I must apologize to the people of Little Rock. Because they didn't get to see me last week. But you people get to see me tonight. We're gonna rock out tonight in Omaha baby! Let me hear ya scream man!

The fans cheer. Jericho smiles then he raises the mic.

Jericho: And this is the Highlight Reel baby! And tonight. My guest is a man who was in the main event last week on Raw. A man who surprised us all. Ladies and gentlemen please welcome. The WWE Champion. Stone Cold Steve Austin.

The fans scream and cheer. Jericho smiles as he lowers the mic and he looks around at the fans. As they settle Jericho raises the mic.

Jericho: I mean listen to these people. Omaha loves you man!

The fans cheer.

Jericho: But speaking of the WWE Title. This brings me to my first question. How does it feel to be ontop of the mountain here in the WWE?

Jericho lowers the mic as Austin raises his mic.

Steve Austin: Well Chris. Let Stone Cold tell you what it feels like. It feels like cracking open an ice cold beer after a long day of working the kind of job that will chew you up and spit you out. Know what that feels like? Darn good is what that feels like.

The fans cheer as Austin lowers the mic. Jericho smiles and nods as he begins to walk around the ring. Jericho raises the mic.

Jericho: I hear ya. That was a very interesting match up. But there's a question I got to ask. Its probably something that no one else even has the balls to ask you Steve. Shawn Michaels is an icon in this business but you are viewed only as a legend. How does it feel to still not be at that icon level?

Jericho lowers the mic and he stands near the top right turnbuckle and he looks at Austin. Austin looks around the arena and he shakes his head and he laughs a bit as he raises the mic.

Steve Austin: Jericho. You think I do what I do to be called useless pretty words like icon or even legend? You think Stone Cold Steve Austin puts his boots on and comes out here infront of a roaring crowd and stomps mudholes into people to be called words like icon? Eh eh! Stone Cold is not worried about that. The only thing Stone Cold Steve Austin is worried about now is defending this title against anyone that dares challenge me!

The fans cheer. Austin lowers the mic as he looks at Jericho. Jericho nods as he looks out at the fans and then back at Austin. Jericho raises the mic.

Jericho: Okay. I can accept that. After all people are different. But I couldn't help but notice that.

Jericho looks at the mat as he runs his fingers through his hair. He then looks back at Austin.

Jericho: You don't have an opponent for Backlash. So I was thinking. I don't know. We could face off in the main event. WWE Title on the line. What do you say huh?

Jericho looks at the fans.

Jericho: Come on you'd like to see that right?

The fans cheer.

Jericho: Yeah. I say the main event at Backlash should be Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Chris Jericho for the WWE Title!

Jr: Whoa! Jericho trying to get into the title picture King. Stephanie doesn't have a main event for Backlash yet.

King: Its true Jr. Jericho could get a shot.

Jericho looks at Austin. Austin looks at Jericho and he raises the mic.

Steve Austin: You want The Texas Rattlesnake. At Backlash. For the title? And the people want it too?

The fans cheer.

Steve Austin: Well then all I can say to that is.

Austin gets up in Jericho's face.

Steve Austin: You just asked fo the worst beat down of your life and boy you can bet money that Stone Cold will do it. And that's the bottom line. Cause Stone Cold said so!

Stephanie then turns and she walks backstage. Jericho and Orton stare at Austin and Shawn.
