Booked the first week after KOTR finally now that I've planned out what I'm gonna do for InVasion.
Some major happenings: Austin kicked off Raw by demanding that Goldberg return his WWF Title. All he got for that was another surprise run-in and a Spear. To make matters worse, Austin has to defend the title (or at least the rights to it) against Chris Jericho, the man he screwed at KOTR.
Austin got the nod there thanks to a surprise run-in from another WCWer, Chris Kanyon. But after the match, Goldberg made his mark again, once again surprising Austin with an attack for the 3rd time in 2 nights.
Austin would gain some measure of revenge on Thunder. Goldberg made his official in-ring WCW return against Buff Bagwell (one of the men responsible for ending his earlier tenure with the company). After a victory, Goldberg was this time blindsided by Austin...getting planted with a Stunner. Austin has reclaimed his title.
Meanwhile, Chris Kanyon delivered an interview on Thunder...explaining why he cost Jericho his match on Raw. He blasted the Intercontinental Champion, saying that the United States Championship was far superior. Obviously the plan is for there to be a match between the two at the PPV (probably not a Unification Match).

Also, on Raw, Kurt Angle celebrated his victory of Shane McMahon...Angle deemed WWF superior. He recruited Tag Team Champions Edge and Christian to help him out. Team ECK crashed Thunder, ruining a good cruiserweight match and beating both competitors senseless.
Shane repsonded by bringing 3 tough guys out of the WCW locker-room: Big Vito and KroniK, out for an impromptu 6-man tag match. Team ECK got the victory, but not without using some cheap tactics. Shane has promised that Team ECK will get theirs in the future. The plan here is for Shane to bring in 3 guys to face them in a 6-man tag at InVasion. Not sure if I'll keep them a mystery until the show or not.
