“Yes, sir, we promised you a great main event…”
-Hosted by Michael Cole & Jerry "The King" Lawler
-Chris Jericho is out for the opening promo immediately showing that last week's three hour show was totally pointless. Jericho says he has felt like a cast away for the past year. He says he doesn't feel like that anymore because last week he was drafted to Smackdown, and tonight is final appearance on Raw forever. The crowd pops for that, so Jericho calls them out for not appreciating his brilliance. Jericho says without him on Raw things will change on Raw, and they will not change for the better. He says within six months we will begging him to come back to Raw, but he won't do it because he's done with Raw. That brings out Ricky Steamboat to confront Jericho. Steamboat looks like he may have had a meeting with Walt Frazier and Keith Hernandez as his hair looks a bit darker than the last time we saw him. Steamboat says Jericho is wrong. He says the audience isn't unappreciative. He says Wrestlemania week the fans showed him more love and appreciation than he could ever dream of. He calls it the greatest moment of his Wrestling career. Steamboat says if Jericho wants appreciation and the fans won't give it then he will. Steamboat thanks Jericho, and Jericho asks what he is talking about. Steamboat thanks him for bringing back a moment he never thought he'd reach again. The passion to perform one last time. To take a page of history and turn it back and feel glad about what he accomplished. He didn't think he'd ever get back in the ring, and if it wasn't for Jericho it would have never happened. Steamboat starts to leave, but Jericho stops him. Jericho says he didn't come out here to thank him, but he came out here to bask in the cheers one more time. Jericho reminds him that he is finished, and that no one cares about him anymore. Jericho says all of his friends from Flair to Piper to Rourke haven't been seen since Wrestlemania, and he will do the same to him. He asks Steamboat if he thinks a performance in a ten man tag on Raw when he was in the ring for about 27 seconds means he still has it? The crowd chants "You still got it" but Jericho states that he doesn't have it. The fans are delusional and so is Steamboat. Jericho says the time has come to put him out of his misery the same way he put his friends out of their misery. Jericho asks for a one on one match with Steamboat at Backlash. Jericho says he'll finish Steamboat off if he accepts. But before he can accept "Brrrrrrrrrrr APPLE STEW!" (copyright Chris Lansdell 2009) John Cena interrupts wearing a new alternate blue version of his AWA style shirt. Jericho tells Cena to stop, because he knows what he's gonna say. He says he knows he's gonna say what a fan of Steamboat he is and pander to his fans, but Jericho is finished on Raw and finished with Cena. Jericho says his last act on Raw will be to walk out on Cena. Steamboat stops Jericho in the aisle to let him know he accepts the challenge for Backlash. Cena stops him once more to let him know he wasn't going to stand up for Ricky Steamboat, because he saw the match and Steamboat can handle that on his own. Cena says Vickie will not be here tonight, but she gave him a message that Edge will compete tonight. She also told him that Cena must compete tonight, and Jericho's last act on Raw will be a match with him tonight.
