 ** 4th Match: Jeff Jarrett vs. Vader **

 Winner: Vader by DQ

 Tennessee Lee introduces JJ and he comes out to the normal fireworks
 and everything. Pretty good entrance. While Vader makes his way to
 the ring JR talks about another DX Invasion and some new footage. 


 RAW goes to commercials while JR is saying that something is going on
 in the locker room. JR says that Vince McMahon may be released. Vader
 looked pretty good in this match. Vader nails a splash on JJ and
 covers but Tennessee Lee distracts the ref. Vader takes control of
 the match. He covers him again and Tennessee Lee distracts the ref
 again. Vader confronts Tennessee Lee and JJ attacks him from behind.

 but then Kane comes out and assaults Vader. The match ends in a DQ.
 Kane slams Vader and then clotheslines him over the top rope. Kane
 throws him into the steps. 

 Clip of Vince McMahon being let out of the car. Austin asks him to
 apologize and Mcmahon says some wise crack. Austin then says that
 McMahon will stay in the handcuffs and reluctantly Mcmahon apologizes
 and is released. Austin also says that if someone voluntary wants to
 come down and make sure that Mcmahon refs fairly on Sunday, that
 McMahon will accept that. McMahon agrees. I'd say this will
 definately be Dustin Runnels. We'll have to wait until Sunday to find
 out.

 McMahon, Patterson, and Briscoe make their way slowly out to the
 ring. McMahon looks depressed and down. It looks like he has been
 through hell. McMahon yells at Austin and says no WWF superstar will
 stop him from achieving his goal. He demands that Austin will take on
 the Undertaker later in the show.
