WWF Sunday Night Heat: Justin Credible & Raven vs. Kaientai: (07.29.01) - Before the match Taka made fun of Justin Credible's name and said it should be changed to "just about to get your ass kicked."

WWF Smackdown: Raven Appearance: Kurt Angle vs. Booker T: (07.26.01) - Kurt Angle was challenging Booker T. for the WCW World Heavyweight Championship as a consequence of Steve Austin not wanting to put up his WWF World Championship up against Angle. Austin had a plan to try and help Booker T. retain the championship. At about the midpoint of the match, the newly-crowned WCW United States Champion, Chris Kanyon, ran down to the ring to distract Angle, along with the ECW faction's Dudley Boyz. The WWF locker room then rushes out to attack the Dudleyz and Kanyon. Then, the ECW and WCW alliance, including a shirtless Raven, run down and attacks the WWF loyalists. Raven then starts to attack Hardcore Holly before the officials run down and force everyone to the back, allowing Kanyon to clock Angle with a chair before they run off. This effort goes for naught, as Angle manages to wrest the WCW Championship from a spent Booker T. with his Angle Lock submission.

Shane has the mic. This Sunday at Invasion, the course of the industry will be changed forever. It's not about who's best. The WWF has been best for years, but then again they never faced competition like this. He and his sister put every cent of their life savings into this. They invested all their stock into this. It's something that the people wouldn't have the guts to risk. No one. They're laying it all on the line on Sunday. No one is gonna stop them from their destiny. Stephanie then takes the mic. The WWF has run it's course. Do you think an old decrepid man like Freddie Blassie can make a difference? Do you think the old Stone Cold Steve Austin can stop this force? Nothing can stop the WCW and ECW. Nothing can stop this invasion. No force of nature or act of God can stop this invasion from happening this Sunday night. Daddy should remember one thing. They don't play in the interest of fairness, they will play dirty on Sunday. Paul Heyman takes the mic. They should all be honest about the family. How did their father play with their grandfather? Their grandfather lived for this business. Their father took this business away from their father. They're not about sports entertainment. They are about wrestling. They are about wrestlers like WCW and ECW wrestlers. He promises that after WCW and ECW beat the WWF. They will stand over the grave of the WWF reading the last rites. Heyman then gets his on his knees and literally delivers the last rites to the WWF in Latin. Death to sports entertainment. Death to the WWF!

Kurt accepts but tells him that WWF rules, not ECW.
ECW Rules Match: Raven vs. Kurt Angle: - In the arena, Raven comes down with his shopping cart of tricks and weapons, including a house plant and a Frankenstein doll.

He goes out and gets a chair and starts ramming it into Raven's stomach. Kanyon, Stasiak, and Justin Credible run in.

Shane and Stephanie bow for the crowd. Shane and Heyman hug. Heyman has the mic. He thinks by now that it is common knowledge that WWF and Vince McMahon put ECW out of business. They cost ECW their attitude. They took ECW's talent roster. They took ECW's cable national network which ultimately ran them out of business. If Vince is gonna take everything from his life, Heyman will take everything from his. He took Vince McMahon's children. He is responsible for having Shane and Stephanie there. Vince called him up and let sit in Jerry Lawler's chair next to JR. He was the mole that sent Shane all the info he needed so he could perfect the brilliant plan to steal WCW from under his nose. He also schemed to take Steph from Vince. Stephanie says thats he and Shane just couldn't wait for him to die so they just joined forces. The WCW and ECW are gonna run him out of business.
