(As Raw comes on the air, Ted DiBiase makes his way down to ringside and grabs
a microphone.)

Ted DiBiase:
Once again, I have defeated Hollywood Hogan to prove to you all that he is no
match for me.  But I am not out here to talk about Hollywood Hogan, I am out
here to congratulate a man who last night was able to defeat Stone Cold Steve
Austin to become the new WWE Champion.  Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome
to the ring, the Legend Killer, Randy Orton!

(Orton's music hits, and he makes his way down to the ring, wearing the WWE
title proudly around his waist.)

Randy Orton:
Just like I said before, I do not make the same mistake twice.  Where I failed
to become WWE Champion at Wrestlemania, I succeeded at Bad Blood, and now have
the belt around my waist.  Stone Cold Steve Austin, I'd like to take the chance
to say that you were a great champion, and that it was an honour to wrestle you
last night.  But the fact of the matter is, you sucked as a champion, and last
night the honour was all yours, so I can't say that.

I'd also like to offer you a rematch for the title, but hey, I pinned you two
times last night, so you can consider that to be a failed rematch and stay the
hell away from me and my title.  Austin, you've got unfinished business with
another man, a match that's standing right beside me here, Ted DiBiase, and if
by some fluke, you'd managed to defeat me last night, you'd be looking at your
number 1 contender for the Great American Bash.  As it is, you're still looking
at your opponent for the Bash, but there won't be any titles on the line.

Austin, I...

(The glass smashes, and Stone Cold makes his way to the ring.  Austin enters
the ring, and a grin starts to creep upon his face as he stares out both Orton
and DiBiase.)

Randy Orton:
Austin, I don't know what you're smiling about.  You've got nothing, you lost
it all last night.  What are you gonna do?  Kick our asses?  There's two of
us, Austin, there's only one of you.

(DiBiase takes the mic.)

Ted DiBiase:
Let me just add a little something extra Austin, there's only one of you, but
there's THREE of us.

(DiBiase points to the entrance ramp, as the music of the Big Show hits.  The
500lb bodyguard for DiBiase makes his way to the ring.)

Ted DiBiase:
Still want to try us Austin?  Huh?  Big Show, how about a little chokeslam?

(Big Show grabs Austin by the throat and lifts him into the air.  Before he
can complete the slam though, Show puts Austin down, and instead grabs hold of
Randy Orton, giving him a choke slam instead.)

Ted DiBiase:
What the hell are you doing?  I said choke slam Austin.  I order you to choke
slam Austin.

(Big Show snatches the mic from DiBiase.)

Big Show:
Yeah?  Well I don't take orders from you any more.

(Big Show drops the mic and gives DiBiase a choke slam as well, to the delight
of the fans.)
