X-Pac cost Ricky Steamboat his match against Razor Ramon last week on RAW IS WAR, proving The Dragon's point about X-Pac being just as dirty as everyone else in The Kliq. While X-Pac insists that he was out there to scout Steamboat, Triple H '01 interrupts The Dragon to speak on behalf of X-Pac (but not really), letting him know that The Dragon won't prevail against The Kliq, especially X-Pac who is hungrier than ever and looking at a Steamboat victory at SummerSlam '88 as a possible milestone moment.

Steamboat doesn't back down from The Game and even puts his fearlessness on full display as he outright attacks Triple H '01, which sets off a big brawl that The Dragon gets the better of!
