From Quiz Get Ready for the "InVasion"
Answer:
Shane and Stephanie McMahon
On the very last episode of Monday Nitro, Shane McMahon was revealed to have been in person at Panama City, Florida (where Nitro was taking place). After the closure of the broadcast, he made his way to the ring and announced that he was the one who had bought WCW. Fast forward to July 2001, on an episode of RAW a tag team match was scheduled. During the match, Tommy Dreamer and Rob Van Dam (RVD), formerly of ECW, interfered. WWF wrestlers Justin Credible, Tazz, Rhyno, Raven and the Dudley Boyz arrived, it appeared, to save the team of Chris Jericho and Kane. All these wrestlers happened to be former ECW talent and they revealed to have joined Dreamer and RVD by attacking Kane and Jericho. Later that night, Shane McMahon revealed to have merged the ECW crew with his WCW. He also declared his sister, Stephanie McMahon as the owner of ECW.
While Arn Anderson and Joey Styles had commentated for WCW and ECW respectively, they did not play an active role in the Invasion. Tazz would compete in the ring but also provide commentary. According to many fans, the Invasion would have been much more popular if former owners of WCW and ECW Eric Bischoff and Paul Heyman respectively had played those roles on camera as well.
