JAZZ (C) vs. TRISH STRATUS

 Before the match, Mr. McMahon is shown walking backstage, he walks into Ric Flairs office. Ric Flair and Arn Anderson are in there, and the basic idea is that there’s a not-so-friendly rivalry between the brands. Trish Stratus makes her way out first, Trish beat Molly Holly to become the #1 contender on Raw the previous week. Speaking of Molly, she decides to make an appearance for this match. She cuts a promo to say that the crowd don’t want a cheater or someone who flaunts their body around. They want a “pure” champion like Molly Holly. She then takes a cheap shot at Trish and throws her out of the ring. Jazz makes her way down to the ring as Molly sends the challenger into the ring steps. 

Jim Ross and “The King Lawler are on commentary, Howard Finkel is our ring announcer for this match.
