I'm always a sucker for a cage match where there is a post match group beat down in the cage afterwards and this one is pretty vicious with Cactus taking some pretty nasty chair shots and Funk handcuffed to the cage around his neck. DX look like a serious heel threat here and it's a great reboot in the immediate aftermath of WM 14. Already it seems like Shawn has been consigned to history. All in all this is a pretty great RAW and a template of what was to come over the next several months as the WWF forges ahead and starts winning the Monday Night War. The Vince/Austin stuff dominates several segments but it's all excellent with Vince playing a much subtler, nuanced version of the character he would become.

This was a lot of fun despite it's short length. Everything is done and dusted within ten minutes as it closes off a very memorable Raw completely rehabbing and refreshing DX after WM 14. Seeing the blue cage on the Raw Is War ring feels out of place. Funk and Foley get little offence in and eat plenty of brutal chairshots. Funk hung on the cage made for a great visual. It's not long until the returning X-Pac, Triple H & Chyna head on out to assist The Outlaws and to firmly establish this new edition of DX as a threat.
