2009 - WWE broadcast Raw. Richard Trionfo filed the following TV report:
We are live from Baltimore, Maryland and your announcers are Michael ‘Vintage Old Bay Seasoning’ Cole and Jerry ‘These are the good type of crabs’ Lawler.
With the smallest guest host, we begin with the biggest man in the WWE, Big Show and he is joined by his tag team partner, Chris Jericho. Jericho talks first and they wanted to clear up some misconceptions. They want to wake everyone up from their ignorant bliss to clear up the fallacy that DX is the greatest tag team of all time. They are not the greatest tag team while the fans cheer them for their childish antics. They are here to deal with the facts and expose DX right now. He points out that they have been champions for four months and have beaten every team that has gotten in their way including Kane and the Undertaker. They won the titles on their first night of existence. Meanwhile, DX have been together since 1997 and have never won the tag titles. Show presents fact number two. He calls them frauds. They might be popular with their merchandise. When it comes to historic wins and sheer dominance, DX cannot compare to them. Show says that when they destroy DX, their merchandise will be useless outdated garbage, just like DX. Fact Number Three. They have 42 championships between themselves. Chris Jericho is the first Undisputed Champion. Show says that he is the only person to be WWE, WCW, and ECW champion.
Jericho wants to know if the fans can understand what Show is saying. Jericho says that they cannot be beaten. Nobody can combine their strength, ability, agility, and courageousness. In a normal match, anyone is at a disadvantage, but it goes to a different level when tables, ladders, and chairs get involved. Show says that his fist is a lethal weapon that has put out the greatest in the business. He reminds everyone that his fist has knocked out Triple H and Shawn Michaels. Show says that if he has a chair with him, his fist will be the last thing they see before going into a coma. Fact number four. Degeneration X has never been in a TLC match. They might have dealt with one of the elements at a time, but never with all three at the same time.
Degeneration X comes out to interrupt Jericho and Show without showing the champions any respect. Hunter says that Jericho and Show mentioned a lot of facts, but they forgot to mention that they are boring everyone to death. Hunter says that they might never have been tag team champions but nobody cares about Jericho and Show and they are the champions. Hunter says that they make history. DX has been at the forefront of every revolution in this industry over the last decade. They have amassed an army. The sea of green represents a worldwide army that believes in DX. It is not because of the jokes or the merchandise. It is because they all believe in the same thing. You grab life by the throat and you make it give you what you want. Shawn says that in two weeks in his home town is going to grab life by the throat and make history. They will be in their first TLC match, and they will win the tag titles for the first time. Shawn says that there is a special little bonus and Hunter lets us know that they will get rid of Chris Jericho from Raw. He reminds Jericho that he is on the Smackdown roster and the only reason why he is on Raw is because of the titles.
Jericho says that without him, Raw is nothing. Without him, the ratings go into the toilet and they will only be left with people like DX. Jericho says that they can gloss over it but he knows that it is eating them alive that they are not the champions. Jericho says that DX knows that they are letting their fans down because they are not champions. Jericho says that DX coasts on their reputation.
Hunter says that Jericho makes a lot of interesting points, but all he has to say that two weeks cannot come fast enough for him. He says that Jericho’s time is limited on the show so he wants to make every moment of Jericho’s time on Raw special. Hunter wants to wrestle Jericho tonight. Chris talks to Show and Jericho accepts the challenge. Jericho says that there is one condition. Jericho says that if he loses, he will face DX in a handicap match. If Jericho wins, Hunter will have to face the tag champions. Jericho tells Hunter and Shawn that he has four words for them: “I’m never leaving Raw”
