The Eric Bischoff era of RAW kicked off live from Grand Rapids, Mich., as the general manager strolled down to the ring. On their way to the ring, Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler were shown calling the action from their new position, located next to the entrance stage.
Bischoff got in the ring and said he was bringing to RAW the WWE Undisputed Champion, The Rock! Plus, Bischoff said he was bringing Triple H to the broadcast, and with that, The Game's music hit and the Cerebral Assassin journeyed to the ring.
Bischoff tried to continue after Triple H's entrance, but The Game cut him off and introduced his best friend, Shawn Michaels! After HBK entered the ring, Bischoff said that he was bringing the crowd the combination of Triple H and Shawn Michaels, but that's not all. Bischoff said he is naming HBK as Triple H's manager. Bischoff said Michaels would be in Triple H's corner everytime The Game took to the ring.
Michaels told Bischoff he understands the GM doesn't know him well, and has no problem being Triple H's manager. However, HBK said he has a huge problem with Bischoff telling him anything. Bischoff stepped up and said HBK will be Triple H's manager because he, Eric Bischoff, told him so. Bischoff said he is not Vince McMahon and he will not allow Michaels to push him along. HBK said that he's been in WWE for 15 years and doesn't react to ultimatum's very well. When given a choice between Bischoff's way and the highway, HBK said he takes the highway.
Michaels left while Bischoff said that if HBK kept walking, he wouldn't be allowed back. Triple H looked absolutely flabbergasted as Bischoff told The Game to go talk some sense into his friend. Triple H left to do just that, and Bischoff continued that he will be unifying the European Championship and the Intercontinental Championship. He pointed above his head where a championship hung suspended high over the ring. He said the match between Jeff Hardy and Rob Van Dam would be a Ladder Match!
Backstage, Triple H found Shawn Michaels was was angrily about to walk out. Triple H said if HBK walked out, he'd be walking out on the fans too. HBK said he's was leaving to keep his pride intact. Triple H implored HBK to not make the mistake that Stone Cold did. Triple H said he had an idea that would make everything work. He promised that if he could work things out, it would be damn good!
The Ladder Match to unify the European Championship and the Intercontinental Championship started the action off. RVD tried to go for a cover early on, but that wouldn't help him as the rules of the match require one of the superstars to climb a ladder and grab the championship that hung over the ring.
RVD flipped over the top rope and crashed onto Jeff Hardy below then set up a ladder and attempted to get the title. Jeff cut him off and tried to cget up the ladder too, but RVD knocked him down.
RVD tried to ram the ladder into Jeff, but the European Champion kicked the weapon away. Both men grabbed ladders and dueled with them until RVD disarmed Jeff with a spinning heel kick. RVD lay Jeff down on a ladder and hit a version of the Rolling Thunder before climbing up a ladder. Jeff again caught up to RVD and sent both men crashing to the canvas with a Russian Leg Sweep. Jeff lay a ladder over RVD and nailed a crazy Swanton Bomb onto it!
Both men scrambled up the ladder and traded shots at the top. RVD turned his attention away from the title momentarily to powerbomb Jeff off the top of the swaying ladder! RVD lay Jeff on top of the ladder again and hit the Rolling Thunder. RVD went up the ladder toward the title, but Jeff smacked him in the back with his own ladder and proceded to climb. RVD ascended the ladder, turned and hit the Five-Star Frog Splash! As Jeff lay broken on the mat, RVD creeped up the ladder and grabbed the title to become the reigning holder of the new Intercontinental Championship! RVD helped Jeff up in a display of respect following the win.
