The Queen of the Ring promo plays over the large video wall, showing the eight particpants for this Sunday's Queen of the Ring Tournament! Then the spinning jeweled crown is shown.

Fireworks blast across the Auditorium Arena in Denver with the words 'Monday Night Raw' appearing as a graphic across the screen.... LIVE!!!

Bursts of flame kick up from the entryway and explosions rock everywhere as fans hold up signs proclaiming the greateness of their favorites. Ross is at the announcer's table with Brian Pillman and Heart Attack.

JR: HELLO EVERYBODY! WELCOME TO MONDAY NIGHT RAW! I'm Jim Ross along with Heart Attack... and Brian Pillman!

Heart Attack: Hey J.R.!

Pillman: Ross... you're not going to jet out on us again are you?

JR: I'd like to apologize for my outburst. But let's keep the show rolling, shall we? Unified World Tag Team Title bout tonight! The Hart Foundation defend against Demolition!

Heart Attack: Bret and the Anvil should do fine against Demolition. Hopefully there won't be any interference here. I wouldn't trust letting Atlantra be at ringside.

Pillman: Atlantra is a phony! The Femme Fatales think they're smooth. Let's take a good look tonight at Atlantra vs. River Wyld. Do you think the other Femmes would be happy with Atlantra's current actions?

JR: We'll get to that in a bit. Harts and Demolition tonight for the title. They're split one win a piece, but this time, it's for the GOLD!

Heart Attack: Oh, J.R., I got something for you. (she grins, showing she's joking.) To help you keep your mouth shut!

She hands him a box of chocolate covered cherries. JR takes them with a smile.

JR: Why, thank you Heart Attack. That was nice of you.

Pillman: And I got you something, too.

JR: YOU did?

Pillman brings up a box and sets it in front of JR. Ross opens it up....

JR: Brian, it's EMPTY!

Pillman: It's for all your chocolate covered cherry wrappings! I don't want you littering up the floor around me.

JR: How thoughtful of you, Brian. You've got a match a little later on.

Heart Attack: Pillman, I guess you'll be biased on this one.

Pillman: Not at all. I think Money, Inc.'s gonna win. (tries to keep a straight face) HAHAHAHAHAH!!!

Heart Attack: You're gonna KILL THEM!

Pillman: THAT'S the spirit! Austin and me will do it for all our FANS!

JR: I wouldn't be suprised if the fans WANTED you and Austin to win tonight. Also... the 1-2-3 Kid against JoBo! ZoBo is right... the Kid HAS been quiet as of late.

Heart Attack: The Kid obviously never bounced back from getting fired from Taylor Tech. JoBo's going to destroy him.

Pillman: The Kid is LUCKY he was fired from Taylor Tech. It increased his life expectancy by about 13 years.

Heart Attack: Here's an interesting match. Atlantra seems to be up to something. I can't say I'm sure just what that is! Do you miss her Brian?

Pillman: No, of COURSE I don't miss her. I'm glad she's going after the Anvil. They deserve each other. They have one good thing in common.

JR: What's that?

Pillman: BEER GOGGLES!!HAHAHA!!

JR: Let's hear now from the participants in our opening contest.
