This is my first time at writing shows, I will be helped by another person who will write Smackdown. I am starting after Vengeance but am not keeping all the storylines.

(P.S I will be on holiday this coming Saturday, for 3 weeks. I will try and post some if I find a computer but if not I will just post all of my shows leading up to SummerSlam, this week, before Saturday and when I come back I will post the actual PPV.)

Cheers. This is the Roster, It might change slightly.

Raw – July 12th

The Show kicks off with footage of Chris Benoit retaining his World Heavyweight Championship against Triple H from Last Night’s PPV, Vengeance.

The Pyro sends a chorus of explosions throughout the arena as we kick off what should be an unforgettable night.

J.R – 15,000 Packed into the Staples Centre, Los Angeles as we welcome you to Monday Night Raw. J.R along side Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler, and King what an unbelievable night, it was last night King when Chris Benoit regained his World Heavyweight Championship.

King – What a night it was J.R but we can’t forget the promise that our G.M, Eric Bischoff made last night, because the Hardcore Title is back.

J.R – That’s right King, There will be an open invitational, for any man who wishes to hold the Hardcore Title, Tonight could be your night.

King – This is going to be great, I can’t wait!

Triple H’s Theme is played

J.R - Folks, last night, that man was only seconds away from regaining The World Heavyweight Title, which he lost to Benoit at WrestleMania. The visible gash on his forehead, the result of being busted open at the hands of our Champion.

King – J.R, That man can barely walk. He had that title won. Benoit doesn’t deserve to have the title.

J.R – King, How can you say that, Benoit is a very good Champ and is what gives this company a good name.

King – Be quiet J.R. The Game is about to speak.

Chants of ‘’You Tapped Out’’ Echo throughout the whole arena.

HHH – SHUT UP!!!

King – Does this crowd have any respect for this man? He is one of The Best in This Business.

J.R – Well King, you can’t take that away from him. He is the Cerebral Assassin.

The Chants have slightly died down.

HHH- Benoit. You think you can outwit The Game? Huh? I had you beat, that title should be around MY waist, not yours MINE!! No one beats me. I am The Game and I am that damn good. Benoit, your not getting away with it this time.

J.R – Senior Official, Earl Hebner was in charge of the match, when Triple H inadvertently knocked him down.

HHH – Eric, I want you to get your ass out right now, I want my title rematch tonight.

Eric Bischoff’s Theme is played

Eric – Triple H, I know you want your rematch, I saw you get robbed out of that victory last night….

J.R- Give me a break.

Eric – So Triple H, you will be involved in a match for The World Heavyweight Title, Tonight.

Crowd Boo

Eric – However there is just one slight problem, I have a man who keeps telling me that you have already had your shot, and you should now be at the back of the line. I don’t necessarily agree with that, but I need to make him get off my back.
So, Tonight, in that very ring we will have a Triple Threat Match for the World Heavyweight Championship, it will be Chris Benoit versus Triple H versus…STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN.

The crowd go wild whilst Triple H is left in the ring with a look of complete horror.

Commercial Break

J.R - And we’re back with the Women’s Tag Match, The Women’s Champion Jazz & Sable v Trish Stratus & Victoria.

King – PUPPIES!!!

J.R – King, Will you ever grow up?

Jazz’s Theme is played, followed by Sable’s, Victoria’s and Trish’s.

The match starts with Jazz and Victoria in the Ring. Victoria nails a Running Clothesline followed by a Scoop Slam, and gets a 2 count. Jazz then follows up with 2 punches of her own and a knockdown. Victoria gets back up and both women Tag out. Sable and Trish lock up, Trish hits a swinging neck breaker followed by a slap to the head, covers but Sable puts foot on rope. Victoria enters the ring and both women stomp Sable in the corner. Sable is looking desperate and needs a Tag. Sable ducks a punch and follows up with a Swinging Valley Driver Followed by a Jawbreaker. Jazz enters but is pushed away by Ref. Victoria enters and plants the Widows Peak on Jazz. Trish is still down following that Driver by Sable. Finally she gets up and plants a kick on Sable, Covers and gets a 2 count before Jazz interferes. Trish gets up and punches Jazz, the ref is distracted whilst Victoria plants another Widows Peak. Ref finally splits the 2 Divas up and Trish goes for the cover. Remarkably Sable kicks out.
Finally Sable makes the tag to an already fired up Jazz. Jazz throws punches everywhere, she then misses Trish, Trish then nails a Kick and Victoria, a modified Sidewalk Slam. Victoria then runs and knocks Sable off the Apron whilst Trish covers Jazz and gets the 3 Count.

Here are your Winners: Trish Stratus and Victoria


Steven Richards and Val Venis are shown backstage in the Locker Room.

Steven – Tonight is the night when we finally get rid of that baby boy Eugene. He has the intelligence of an Amoeba. He must be taken off our screens IMEDIATELY!!!

Val- Yes Sir.

Steven – I want him off. And what I want, I get.

J.R – What an idiot King, all Eugene wants is to live his dream as a WWE Superstar and you get people like the ‘Right To Censor’ trying to squash that dream. It’s just not fair.

King – Life’s not fair J.R.

J.R - Anyway Folks we have the moment you have all been waiting for, the return of the Hardcore Title is up next in an Open Invitational. We will be right back.

Bischoff says that he has various reasons for his decision and that Triple H has many more important things to think about other than what Eric thinks. For starters he has his Triple Threat Match to worry about. Triple H leaves the office with more questions being asked than answered.

J.R – King, what was that all about?

I was soo happy JBL won, him and Cena are being used well, maybe too cool should have broken up in a few week's rather than right now, and maybe he should have cost them the title's rather than just beat them, but I like the idea of Sexay going to get a partner and facing too cool.

Very good show and I think it was much better than last weeks.

9/10 :D.

King – These two men have wrestled four times in the past year on PPV against each other, Benoit prevailing each time, but who will win this encounter?

McMahon is furious and tries to confront Edge, however Christian stands behind the Chairman with the Intercontinental Title, McMahon doesn’t realise who is behind him, he turns around…and gets clobbered with the Title. Meanwhile Eugene gets the Rock Bottom on Orton, he’s got the cover…but the referee is down! A new official runs to the Ring. He starts counting…1…2…3…Eugene wins!

Here is your Winner – Eugene

Tag Team Match
Scott Steiner & Kane vs. Shawn Michaels & Kevin Nash


FinishKane is annihilating Shawn Michaels. Kane, Irish Whip’s him into the Turnbuckle. Shawn’s back seems to have taken a turn for the worse, he doesn’t look to good as he wriggles around and squirms on the floor in pain. Kane takes his time, knowing that Shawn isn’t going to get up that quickly. He lifts him up by the throat and lifts him high up in the air, ready to squash him down hard on the floor with a Chokslam. Kevin Nash has to make the save by taking out Kane at the knees. This forces Scott Steiner to enter the Ring, but on sight of the angry Kevin Nash, he turns back and moves out of the Ring. Nash proceeds to do the same but is attacked from behind by Kane, when Kane turns around HBK is ready to deliver some Sweet Chin Music on Kane. He attempts the pin. Steiner enters the Ring, but is clotheslined, then Jacknifed by Kevin Nash. They get simultaneous pinfalls. The referee counts the three count.

Here are your winners – Shawn Michaels & Kevin Nash

The show ends with Kevin Nash and HBK celebrating in the middle of the Ring, as Raw fades off the air.

#118 ·
Another top quality show G108. It gets better every week.

Nice to see the return of the NAO, and Nash seems to have been a welcome edition to the roster.

I still expect to see WGTT retain though at Unforgiven, perhaps in the final with NAO.

HIAC will be a spectacle to end all spectacles!!! Thats for sure!!!

Looking forward to next weeks show already!! 10/10!!

Arco Arena
Sacramento, California
2nd September 2004


Footage of the Rock/Paul Heyman match and of the Rock posing with the WWE Championship.

The Smackdown music and pyro starts, along with huge cheering from the audience.

Cole – Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to Smackdown and welcome to Smackdown. For those who are first time viewers, I’m Michael Cole and alongside me is Tazz and what a show we have for you tonight here in the Arco Arena in Sacramento, California.

Tazz – That’s right Cole. Tonight you can expect to see the Cruiserweight title go on the line as Chavo Guerrero goes against A.J Styles in the rematch from SummerSlam.

Cole – Not only that, but tonight we may see Grandmaster Sexay choose his new partner and try and win the tag titles away from his old team-mates, Too Cool.

Tazz – That’s right Cole. I wonder who it’s gonna be.

Cole – It could be you Tazz.

Tazz – No, I’m too good for the tag team titles.

Cole – I’m not sure about that Tazz….

*Rey Mysterio’s music starts* Rey Mysterio comes out to a good pop

Tazz – Well it’s time to get this show on the road.

*Jamie Noble’s music starts* Jamie Noble comes out

Rey Mysterio vs. Jamie Noble

Finish

Jamie Noble backs Mysterio into a corner and unleashes on him with a barrage of punches. He then kicks Mysterio till he sinks to the ring mat. Mysterio crawls out of the corner and slowly gets to his feet and then receives a bulldog. Noble then climbs to the top rope and waits for Mysterio to roll over. Mysterio turns over, and Noble leaps from the top turnbuckle and attempts a leg drop. But Mysterio rolls out of the way and out of the ring. Noble slowly manages to get to his feet and looks over the rope for Mysterio but he is nowhere to be found. Suddenly, Noble receives a dropkick to the back sending into the ropes. Noble’s head rests on the second rope. Mysterio then rebounds off the opposite ropes and lands a 619 on Noble, sending him into the centre of the ring. Mysterio then waits on the apron for Noble to get to his feet. Noble gets up and receives a West Coast Pop-into-pin. 1…2…3 Mysterio wins.

Camera goes backstage to shows a door which reads “Partner Wanted” and a line of wrestlers outside. The door opens to show Grandmaster Sexay sitting at a table reading Booker T’s reseme while Booker T stands there.

Sexay – Hmmm, let’s see your achievements…. 5 time WCW Champion…. WCW Television Champion…. WCW United States Champion…. I don’t see any WWE Title achievements.

Booker T – I was the Intercontinental Champion back when I was on RAW.

Sexay – Alright. You got any tag team experience?

Booker – Yeah, check the back.

Sexay – Hmmm, WWE Tag Team Champion with Goldust and Rob Van Dam….. 3 time GWF Tag Champion with Stevie Ray…… 11 time WCW Tag Champion with Stevie Ray… You and this Stevie Ray character seem to be a good tag team. Too bad I’ve never heard of you two.

Booker – WHAT? You did’t just say that. TELL ME you DID NOT just say that!!! How can you have never heard of the greatest tag team in WCW history?

Sexay – And just like WCW, you are history. NEXT!

Commercial break

*JBL’s music starts* JBL comes out to boos

Cole – Welcome back to Smackdown and self-proclaimed “only true American in this business” is about to enter the ring.

Tazz – This must be about the United States title again. Each time he asks, Shane McMahon gives him a match, but not for the United States title, but for his number one contendership for the title. When will JBL learn?

JBL – Last week, I yet again proved to Shane McMahon and the nation that I deserve to be the United States Champion when I overcame the challenge of the Big Show. So I am out here yet again to request my title shot. I know you may all be wondering why do I continue to ask Shane McMahon knowing good and well that he detests me and would do anything to stop me from getting the United States title? Well the reason is what divides me from all of you, I’m just plain better than all of you.

Crowd boo; “You Suck” chant starts

JBL – You people are too scared to take risks. When a problem arises, you just run and hide behind your sofas. But me, when I see a problem I face. I know that I’m the true United States Champion, and so does Shane. That’s why he doesn’t want me to get a title shot. So Shane, if would kindly make your way to the ring…

*Shane McMahon’s music starts* A happy Shane comes out to loud cheers

Tazz – Here comes our boss. He looks happy.

Cole – It seems JBL may have picked the right time to ask for a title shot.

JBL – Shane, I know how you feel about me, but that’s never gonna stop me from requesting a title shot at the U.S Title. I will persist to ask until you finally realise that I am the true United States Champion!

Shane – JBL, I admit it. You do deserve a shot at the United States title, and you’ll get that shot next week on Smackdown.

Crowd boo

Tazz – You heard it folks, next week on Smackdown the two John’s will go at it for the United States title!

Shane – Don’t get me wrong, I still don’t like you. I’m not smiling because of you. I’m smiling for two reasons. First being, I have managed to sign a whole bunch of Divas to Smackdown, who should all debut next week!

Crowd cheer

Tazz – Did you here that Cole? A whole new range of divas, to debut next week! I can’t wait!

Cole – Neither can I.

Tazz – You’re a perv Cole….

Shane – But that’s not what I’m so happy about. Next week you’ll see something even better.

Tazz – What could be better than seeing divas?

Cole – Look who’s the perv now….

Tazz – Still you.

Shane – Next week on Smackdown, we’ll see the return of Eddie Guerrero!

Crowd cheer

Tazz – He’s finally coming back Cole. Eddie has managed to get his thoughts together and is coming back next week!

JBL – WHAT! Next week?! No! I gotta shot at the United States Title next week and Eddie chooses to come back then. He’ll probably try and cost me the title!

Shane – Not so fast JBL. I forgot to mention something. You’ll get your title shot next week…. If you can win the fatal four way match for the number one contendership of the United States title, tonight!

Crowd cheer

JBL – This is an outrage! I…

Shane – And that match is up right now!

Crowd cheer

Cole – A fatal four way match, up next! Who do you think’s gonna be a part of it Tazz?

Tazz – I don’t know but we’re about to find out!

*Batista’s music starts* Batista comes out with Ric Flair

*A-Train’s music starts* A-Train comes out

*Test’s music starts* Test comes out

Cole – I’m gonna assume that these people weren’t picked out of a hat…

Tazz – You got that right. Batista, A-Train, Test. Shane really doesn’t want JBL to be the number one contender.

Fatal Four Way Match – U.S. Title Number One Contendership
John Bradshaw Layfield vs. Batista w/Ric Flair vs. A-Train vs. Test​

Finish

A-Train lies on the ring mat with JBL on the outside while Batista works away on Test in the turnbuckle. He hits Test with multiple shoulder thrusts to the midsection. Batista whips Test into the opposite turnbuckle and lands a spear. Batista then goes to grab Test but receives a double axe handle to the back by A-Train, sending Batista to his knees. A-Train then continues to stomp on Batista as he gets to his feet. Batista gets to his feet and A-Train whips him into the ropes. Batista rebounds and ducks a big boot from A-Train. Batista rebounds again and lands a spinebuster on A-Train. He goes for the pin. 1…2… A-Train kicks out. Batista sees Test still in the turnbuckle and walks over to him. But Batista receives a boot to the face, followed by a sidewalk slam. Test goes for the pin. 1…2… JBL breaks up the pin. JBL hits Test with a mix of stomps and elbow drops. JBL lifts Test to his feet, kicks him in the midsection and then places Test’s head between his legs and prepares to give him a Jackknife Powerbomb. But Test reverses it, sending JBL over him. Test then turns around and sees A-Train coming towards him with a clothesline. Test ducks just in time, and A-Train inadvertedly knocks out the ref. A-Train turns around and gets suplexed by Test. Test then turns around and receives a clothesline from Batista. Batista then notices JBL getting to his feet and goes over to him. He lifts him over his head, walks over to the ropes and tosses him over. Batista then looks down at the damage. Suddenly, Flair starts to shout at Batista, telling him to turn around, Batista turns around and receives an Angle Slam from Kurt Angle. Angle then slides out the ring and he and Flair begin to battle outside the ring. Test then makes it to his feet and rolls A-Train out of the ring. He then helps bring the ref back to lift and then goes to pin Batista. 1…2… JBL breaks up the count. Test gets to his feet and begins to exchange punches with JBL. Test then manages to grab JBL and goes to whip him into the ropes, but JBL reverses it and lands a Clothesline From Hell on Test. He goes for the pin. 1…2…3 JBL wins.

Cole – Well yet again JBL has managed to overcome the attempts from Shane McMahon to take away his United States title number one contendership. It looks like JBL will get his title match next week.

Tazz – That’s right Cole, and I doubt Cena will be leaving Smackdown next week with the United States title around his waist. Not only that, but this Angle and Flair business seems to be getting intense. I wonder how far it’s gonna go.

Cole – Folks, we’re going on a short break but stay tuned, we’ll be checking on the progress of Grandmaster Sexay’s Tag Team Partner Search.

Tazz – Erm, Cole, I’ve gotta go and check something in the back, I’ll be right back…

Cole – What, where are you going?

Tazz – I’ll be right back…

Styles manages to kick Chavo Classic off but Chavo Jnr is already getting to his feet. So Styles leaps off the top turnbuckle and lands a missile dropkick. Styles then lifts Chavo to his feet, gives him a kick to the midsection. Styles then lands the Styles Clash and pins him. 1…2…3 Styles wins the Cruiserweight title.

Cole – He's done it! A.J Styles has finally won the Cruiserweight title! His first title in the WWE!

Tazz – No doubt this will be the first of many title wins for Styles. Let's just see how long Styles can hold on to the title.

Camera goes backstage to Grandmaster Sexay's room

Sexay – Am I ever gonna find a partner? None of those losers lined up out there are good enough!

Knock on the door

Sexay – Come in.

Someone enters, but their face cannot be seen on the camera.

Sexay – Oh my God.... It's you.... you're perfect! No, there's no need to introduce yourself, I know who you are! You've got the job!

Cole – Who'd you think Sexay's new partner is Tazz?

Tazz – I don't know Cole, all I know is it could never be me, I'm to good!

Cole – Whatever. Aren't you gonna take off that ridiculous Zzat mask?

Tazz – No, I like it, I think it's cool!

Cole – Anyway, up next we've got Too Cool go against the Dudley Boyz in a non-title matchup.

He goes for the pin. 1…2… Scotty kicks out. Bubba Ray lifts Scotty to his feet and whips him into the turnbuckle. Bubba Ray runs at Scotty and attempts a flying forearm, but Scotty moves out the way and Bubba Ray lands on the turnbuckle head first. Bubba Ray stumbles out of the turnbuckle and stumbles into a bulldog from Scotty. Scotty then prepares for the Worm. Suddenly Grandmaster Sexay and TAKA Michinoku run through the curtains and towards the ring. The slide in and beat down on Scotty. The ref signals for the bell. Too Cool win by disqualification. Rikishi runs in to save Scotty but also gets beat up.

Sexay grabs a mic.

Sexay – Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you, my new partner, TAKA Michinoku!

Crowd boo

Tazz – What?! He chose TAKA Michinoku over Booker T and me, ummm I mean Zzat!

Cole – Well TAKA is an established cruiserweight wrestler. He was the first Cruiserweight champion in the WWE. He’s had tag team experience in the tag team Kaientai with Funaki. He’s even invented his own finishing move.

Sexay – I used to be apart of this babyish team Too Cool, but now I’ve grown up. TAKA, tell them who they’re dealing with.

TAKA – You are dealing with…. TOO HOT!

Crowd boo; TAKA and GMS raise their hands in triumph.

Cole – Well we have a new tag team in the WWE, Too Hot. Do you think they’ll be able to take the tag titles from Too Cool?

Tazz – Well Too Cool have more experience, so I doubt it.

Cole – Well folks stay tuned, well be back up next in a match asked for by Paul Heyman, the Undertaker will go up against Funaki in a match made to send a message to the Rock.

*The Undertaker’s music starts* The Undertaker comes out with Paul Heyman. Heyman grabs a mic.

Heyman – Rock, I hope you’re watching backstage, and I hope you know that you’re lucky to be backstage instead of in the ring right now with the Undertaker. Instead of you, we’ve got poor old Funaki in here. The Undertaker is going to send a message to you, through Funaki. And you better watch carefully because this is going to be a lesson you’ll never forget!

*The Rock’s music starts* The Rock comes out to loud cheers

Cole – Oh oh, here comes the Rock. What’d you think he’s gonna do?

The Rock makes his way to the announcer’s table.

Tazz – He’s coming to the announcer’s table! Come on Cole, smarten yourself up, you’re in the presence of the Great One!

Rock – Good evening Cole, Tazz, can the Rock take a seat? Of course he can, he’s the people’s champ!

Tazz – We’re gald you can join us Rock, but what are you doing out here?

Rock – The Rock has come to scout the competition close up. The Rock would rather be out here with the millions and millions of Rock fans than in the back.

Cole – Well it’s honour to be out here announcing with you Rock, I’m a big fan.

Rock – Who in the blue hell are you? No, don’t cry, the Rock’s only joking with you, I know who you are Cole. The Rock is a big fan of the Rock too Cole, thanks.

The Undertaker © w/ Paul Heyman vs. Funaki​

Finish

The Undertaker lets loose on Funaki in the corner. He then grabs his arm, climbs the turnbuckle and goes “Old School”.

Cole – Well the Undertaker’s clearly dominating Funaki in this match. So are you learning a lesson from this match Rock?

Tazz – Don’t speak to the Great One like that Cole, he deserves respect.

Cole – Well I was only asking a …

Rock – It’s alright, the Rock forgives you. How is the Rock supposed to learn a lesson when the Undertaker chooses to face jabronis like Funaki? If he wants the Rock to learn a lesson he should call the Rock into that ring and beat the Rock 1 2 3.

The Undertaker lifts Funaki to his feet but receives a shot to the midsection. Funaki punches Taker once and he buckles but he stays on his feet. He punches again and he buckles again but he stays on his feet. He punches again and he buckles but he stays on his feet. Then Funaki runs to the ropes, rebounds and goes for a flying forearm, but receives a Big Boot to the face. Taker then grabs Funaki’s neck and lifts him to his feet. He kicks him in the midsection and puts his head between his legs. He points to the Rock and then lands the Last Ride on Funaki. He pins him. 1…2…3 The Undertaker wins. The Undertaker then stares at the Rock.

Tazz – Woah, it looks like the Undertaker wants a piece of you, Rock!

Rock – The Undertaker can stand in the ring, he can rolls his eyes in the back of his head, he can stick his poo-tang licking tongue out all he wants, but the Undertaker knows that the Rock doesn’t go looking for ass to whoop. The Rock’s brought the whooping to ringside, but he needs the Undertaker to bring the ass. If he wants some, he can just bring it!

The Rock stretches his arm and signals for the Undertaker to “Just Bring It”. The Undertaker climbs out of the ring and goes over to the Rock. They begin to exchange punches. The Undertaker manages to knock the Rock off his feet. Heyman then runs over and give the Undertaker the title. The Rock gets to his feet and Taker hits him in the face with the title. Taker then begins to empty the announcer’s table and tells Tazz and Cole to move away. Taker then takes the Rock onto the table and lifts him to his shoulder and then puts him into position for the Tombstone. The Rock goes through the table. Taker stands over the Rock in triumph.

The show ends showing the Rock laying motionless on the floor.

Good Smackdown. I really enjoyed the JBL/Shane segment and it is good to see Eddie returning. I wonder who the divas are that are debuting.

Excellent move to give Styles the title, good to see that.

build up to the rock and taker feud is being done well and the zatt segment was a funny bit.

Overall a very good show 9.5/10
 
#125 ·
10/10!
Best show i have seen from you,

I love the segment with JBL/Shane, and the struggle he had to get for the US Title Shot.
Next weeks show is looking great, Eddie's return as well as the US title match.

As said earlier in this thread, good move by making AJ Styles CW Champ...the only thing is now...who will the next contender be?

And in one of the best backstage segments I have seen, you did a awesome job... The GMS storyline is going very well.
Very comical!

Rock performed in his character very well....keep up the great work!
 
#126 ·
I agree with everything that has been said about this show. It truly was a classic show, and shows that you are a really great booker.

JBL has been great as of late, you now how to use him very well. Hope he wins the U.S Title next week, and I think he will, setting up a match between him and Guerrero at No Mercy, with Eddie coming back next week too.

GMS and Taka will be a great thing to see, lovely start to their teaming up.

Rock and Taker is progressing very well, cant wait to see what happens next!!!

10/10 For a perfectly crafted show.

FinishRob Van Dam seems to be working twice as hard in this Handicap Match, and the strain is already beginning to show. Triple H is in the Ring. He applies an Armbar. This is to take out the strength from the upper body therefore not allowing RVD to execute any high – flying moves. Chris Jericho is shouting for the Tag. Triple H picks up RVD and takes him towards the corner. He then makes the Tag to Jericho. Jericho swings RVD into the ropes and looks for a clothesline. RVD ducks, but inadvertently hits the Referee. The official is knocked down. RVD goes to check on the official but when he turns around Triple H enters the Ring and Pedigree’s him. But there is no referee to make the count. Jericho and Triple H are now launching vicious assaults on RVD, until suddenly CHRIS BENOIT’S MUSIC PLAYS. Benoit runs to the Ring. German Suplexes Jericho, then snap Suplexes him. This leaves Benoit with HHH. HHH goes for a Sucker Punch but Benoit reverses it into the Crippler Crossface. RVD gets up and 5 Stars Triple H. Then 5 Stars Jericho. Benoit scatters to the outside. RVD covers Jericho. The referee gets the three count!
