The date is 9.23.96 and it's the night after WWF In Your House: Mind Games. The WWF are presenting a live episode of Raw tonight, and a new Intercontinental Champion will get crowned when the IC Title Tournament comes an end. Faarooq vs Marc Mero opens up the show. Also, Jim Ross has promised to bring back Razor Ramon and Diesel, but it clearly wasn't the Razor Ramon we thought it was going to be.

Over on Nitro, a lot of WCW Superstars have travelled to NJPW. This means those that are left behind have became targets for the nWo. The faction completely takes over Monday Nitro, and we get to see Syxx, Kevin Nash and Scott Hall in action.
