It's the pre Armageddon edition of Sunday Night Heat.
Teri interviews Trish Stratus and Lita before their match with Chris Jericho and Jericho dubbed Eric Bishoff's battle of the sexes. Trish is hurt that she fell for Chris because she believed him. Lita says now we know the truth. Christian says he was rounding 3rd, heading home, but the truth is, he never even picked up a bat. We don't want the match, but we'll do our best and go down swinging.
Matt Hardy is in the locker room enjoying what is happening to Lita. He says she deserves all of this for not keeping V1 #1 in her life. Maven buts in saying, "Oh you really taught her a lesson, huh." Matt Hardy thinks Maven might be being sarcastic and Matt is not a fan of it.
