===The Invasion===

On the March 26, 2001 edition of ''Raw is War'', it was announced that WWE had purchased WCW.  After the last episode of ''Nitro'' aired, a simulcast began on USA and TNT.  In storyline, Vince McMahon came out to gloat about his purchase of WCW, when Shane McMahon came out on Nitro to announce that he had purchased WCW from under his father's nose.  This was done to further a storyline between Vince and Shane McMahon, as the two were to have a match at ''WrestleMania X-Seven'', the largest show of the year, which was just six days away.
