October 1, 2001 marked a significant transition for WWE's flagship show — 'Raw Is War' was officially rebranded as simply 'Raw' from this episode forward, removing the word 'War' from the title in response to the September 11 attacks and the subsequent US military operations. The Invasion storyline continued to build towards the eventual Survivor Series 2001 event where the Alliance would be definitively defeated. The Rock faced the Dudley Boyz in a Tables Match, and Kurt Angle faced Shane McMahon in the main event.
