With WrestleMania 2000 just two weeks away, this episode of Raw is laser-focused on making sure to set up all the proper angles to finalize the card. We see a tag team battle royal interrupted by the Dudleys, DX's feuds with Kane and Rikishi escalating, and most importantly, we get a preview of the WrestleMania main event and the addition of the hardcore legend Mick Foley in a very controversial angle. Tommy also discussed some of the other angle possibilities.
