'Time To Play The Game' and Triple H comes out to a tweener yet heel reaction. He heads to the ring and takes a mic. Hunter says that Vince isnt here this week, Vince doesnt want to get involved with Bret Hart because he trusts that Triple H can take care of the situation. Trips garuntee's that he can take care of Bret Hart. He says Hart should have stayed in Canada, hidden away. Trips believes that Bret would have been better off just writing his articles, talking about the glory days. Bret Hart is a relic from another age. Sure he was one the best then but Triple H is the greatest to ever step into the ring and he is the greatest athlete on the Raw roster at the moment. At SummerSlam, Trips wants Brets family to dress in black. He says that SummerSlam will be Bret Harts funeral because Triple H is going to Pedigree his sorry ass into a second stroke.

Bret grew up in this business, he has seen alot of great wrestlers and Triple H is definately up their with them. However Bret wants Trips to know something, he wants Trips to know that he is just a punk at the end of the day. Bret says that he has felt a fire burning inside, something he hasnt felt for a long time. He says as long as that fire is burning then he cannot be defeated at SummerSlam. Trips laughs and tells Bret to prove it. Hart doesnt move a muscle but suddenly Triple H slaps him across the face. Hunter shouts at Bret and slaps him again. Right hand from Bret Hart floors the Game. The Hitman hops ontop of Triple H and starts to pound him with right hands as security begin to rush down to the ring.

Teddy Long is nothing but a........... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! The pyro erupts and Chris Jericho comes out to a tremendous pop and much to Eric Bischoffs chagrin. Jericho has a mic in hand and he gets into the ring. He asks if Eric would please SHUT THE HELL UP! Y2J is sick and tired of Teddy Long and Eric Bischoff bitching at one another. He says that the two of them are not only jackasses but graduated with a Doctorate from assclown university. Jericho admits that he watches the Smackdown! brand. And he has to say, it is a damn good show. But, its a good show because of the talented athletes that are on Smackdown!s roster. Sure, Jericho admits, none are as good as him. Jericho tells Bischoff to take his little microphone and to get backstage so that the show can continue. Bisch says that nobody and he means NOBODY, can talk to him like that. He is the General Manager of Raw and he demands respect. Jericho says the only respect Bisch gets is from the boys down in the Blue Oyster for his midnight show. Bisch tells Jericho to watch his mouth, he doesnt want Eric Bischoff to be his enemy. Jericho pleads for the production crew to cut off Erics mic. Bisch says that he is going to teach Jericho a lesson. He knows Y2J had a match earlier, well he can have another one tonight. La Resistance vs Chris Jericho in a table match! He asks how Jericho likes that. Y2J drops his mic........ Enziguri to Eric Bischoff! Jericho raises his arms to a huge pop.

Yet last week Orton faced one of the best and lost to one of the best. Benjamin says that he could beat Orton anytime, anywhere and on any given night. If he had to he would pin Randys sorry ass tonight. Orton says that Benjamin had a chance and he couldnt take it. Randy believes that Benjamin couldnt pin him if he had an hour or even two. The Nitro music hits and Johnny Nitro comes out on stage. He says that Mr Bischoff is unable to continue his duty tonight so for the rest of the night, Johnny is in charge. Not only that but Johnny has the power to make decisions concerning SummerSlam. He noticed that Benjamin claimed that he could pin Randy Orton in any amount of time. Johnny is going to put that theory to the test. At SummerSlam Randy Orton and Shelton Benjamin will be in a match with a time limit of 20 minutes. Shelton Benjamin has 20 minutes to pin Randy Orton. Nitro tells them to have a nice night. Orton smiles at Benjamin and exits the ring. Shelton doesnt know what to think, Orton leaves with a smile on his face.
