Twix Slam of the Week...Jericho interrupting the HHH vs. Hardcore Holly match last night on HeAT.

Game rigns throught the arena and Corporation X make their way to the ring. HHH takes the mic first and let's us know what a pleasure it is to come out here each and every week and standing in this ring the WWF Champion knowing he's surronded by family, friends, and people he can count on. At least, people he thought he could count on. He addresses Patterson and Brisco. He says they ask them to do simple tasks. One photo. They beat up Kane and take his mask off and they were supposed to take one picture. Plain and simple, they screwed it up. Today is a good day, so they'll take care of it later. Thursday night, everything worked out as planned. As unified as Linda McMahon's team seems to be, there's not gonna be a whole lot of love in the ring Sunday night because they all want to be number one contender pretty bad. When King of the Ring is over, Undertaker is gonna be very disapponted as is Kane and Rock. None of them will be the number one contender and HHH will defend the WWF championship against the winner of the King of the Ring. He tells Shane they will prevail because this factioni is that damn good then everyone hugs in the ring.

Shane takes the mic from HHH and says he's proven he is the giant killer. Now in case we don't grasph what HHH is saying, Shane couldn't agree with the champion more. Lying in this ring will be Undertaker, Kane or Rock because HHH, Vince, or Shane will be victorious because blood is thicker than water. They throw it back to Thursday night when the Faction destoys Kane and Rock. He says this calls for a family celebration, but Vince don't fell like celebrating.

Vince says for the record, he loves his wife Linda. He won't deny they've had problems. He won't deny in the fax that he recieved she reminds him she is the CEO. He won't deny in the fax, she questions the size of the Factions testicles because they constantly interfere in matches. Linda proposes that in the six man tag team match that instead of Kane, Undertaker, and Rock competing for the number one contender, they should be competing for the WWF Championship. Further more, Linda questions whether or not Vince's grapefruits have shrunk to raisens. If Shane, HHH, or Vince defeat Kane, Undertaker or Rock he will defend his title at Fully Loaded. If Kane, Undertaker, or Rock defeat any of the Faction, he will become champion. Shane has to restrain HHH. Tonight, Kane, Undertaker, and Rock will have to earn this championship provision tonight by being victorious tonight. Kane will ave the Hardy Boyz, Undertaker will have Bull and Bossman, and T & A will square off against the Rock. All three guys must be victorious. To make sure everything is fair, there will be no interference in any of these matches by anyone in the faction or anyone in the back. Vince then asks how's that for a giant sacked size of grapefruits.
