Viewer discretion is advised — because this Raw is WAR.

This week, we’re breaking down the June 22, 1998 episode of Raw Is War, the final stop before King of the Ring… and somehow, things get even more unhinged.

This is a full-on go-home show — and it delivers:

• Vince McMahon introduces a First Blood Match between Kane and Stone Cold (because why not stack the odds even more?)
• Undertaker takes things way too far… tracking Paul Bearer down at home and absolutely destroying him
• Kane promises to set himself on fire if he loses (???)
• Mankind is out here cutting Civil War promos inside Hell in a Cell
• DX vs Nation continues to escalate into full chaos
• And Edge officially debuts… in the most chaotic way possible

But the moment that defines the episode?

Stone Cold accepts Kane’s challenge…
Kane raises his arms…

…and absolutely drenches Austin in blood.

No warning. No build. Just pure Attitude Era insanity.

This is how you sell a pay-per-view.
