Segment 1: (8.00pm-8.15)
The pyrotechnics explode on the stage, as Union Underground’s “Across The Nation” blares across the PA system.
JR “Welcome fans, to WWE Raw. We are live here tonight from the Joe Louis Arena, in Detroit Michigan. Lawler, “And what a show, we have for you tonight.” JR, “That’s right King, on this night, the General Manager for Raw Eric Bischoff, has ordered that all Raw titles will be defended tonight. The US Title, The World Tag Titles, The Raw Championship, and the World Heavyweight Championship.” Lawler, “You forgot one thing JR.” JR, “ And what was that?” Lawler, “Puppies!!!” JR, “Yes King, Victoria will defend her Women’s Championship tonight against Trish Stratus.” Lawler, “Anyway, lets go to our first match up!” JR, “A rematch from last week!”
Rodney Mack w/Theodore Long vs. Maven
After both men are in the ring, “Back in Black” by AC/DC hits, and the GM, Eric Bischoff walks out onto the stage. Bisch, “ The Raw roster is getting overcrowded. It is totaling over 50 at the moment. Not everyone have the chance, to be on Raw. So I’ve decided, that there isn’t enough room, for some of the roster. So I officially order this, to be a loser leaves Raw match! Thankyou!” Bischoff goes back through the curtain. JR, “Oh my god, one of these men, are going to leave here tonight, without a contract!!!” Lawler, “My pick is for Mack to win JR.”
…We join the match, which has been dominated by Rodney Mack, in the closing stages. Maven is perched on the top rope, and flies off with a dropkick, to knock Mack down. Maven climbs on the top turnbuckle, and raises his arms in the air to a pop. But from the outside, Long low blows him, and Maven falls off. The ref did not notice this, as he was checking on Mack. Rodney is back to his feet, and grabs Maven by the neck, and lifts him up. He puts him in a powerbomb position, lifts him up over his head, rams him back first into the turnbuckles, and then delivers a brutal Sitout Powerbomb!!! He hooks the leg…one…two…, and Rodney gets off him? JR, “Oh come on!” Lawler, “He’s not finished with him yet JR!” Rodney drags him to his feet, and short-arm clotheslines him back down. Mack goes to the outside, and discusses something with Long. Mack slides back in, and picks up Maven. On the outside, Long is abusing the crowd, as Mack whips Maven towards the ropes. But Maven reverses the whip, and Long sticks his arms out, and accidentally trips Mack! Rodney gets back up and yells at Long, asking him what the hell he thinks, he’s doing. But suddenly Maven rolls Mack up from behind…one…two…three! JR, “Maven! Maven! Maven has won!”
Winner in 8.30: Maven
After the match, Long gets in the ring, trying to apologise to Mack. But Rodney takes none of the apologies, as he has just gotten fired, boots Theodore in the gut, double-arm underhooks him, and drills him head-first into the mat, with the GONSO BOMB!!!
Mack storms out of the ring, as Al Snow rushes down to congratulate Maven. But suddenly, from the Back runs Batista. He get in the ring, and as Snow turns around, Batista drills him with the Spinebuster!!! Maven takes a boot to the gut, and a Sitdown Powerbomb!. Batista gets on the Mic…”This proves, that I am one of the most dominant people here! Bischoff, I hope you’re watching. You never give me a damn chance. Well you’d better soon! Or you will pay!”
With that, Batista leaves the ring.. JR, “Well he has certainly just spoken his mind! Fans, we’re going to a break. See you after this.”
Break
Segment 2 (8.15-8.30)
WWE Women’s Championship: Victoria © w/Steven Richards vs. Trish Stratus
Closing moments: Victoria has Trish on the top rope. She goes for a Hurricanrana, but Stratus holds onto the ropes, and Victoria flips down, but manages to land on her feet. She stumbles forwards, as Trish flies off the top, for a flying Bulldog, but Victoria pushes her off, and Trish lands on her back, which she holds in pain. She stumbles to her feet, right into a vicious Victoria Superkick. That is enough, for the 3-count.
Winner in 4.35: Victoria
Richards gets into the ring, and celebrates with Victoria, and starts taunting, a now standing Trish. But Stratus slaps the taste out of his mouth. Victoria grabs her arms from behind, and Trish struggles as an angry Steven, sets up for a Superkick. But suddenly, Lawler takes off his headset from the announcer’s table, and gets in the ring! JR, “What the heck are you doing King?” Lawler gets in the ring, and spins Richards around from behind, kicks him in the nuts, and gives him the Pulling Piledriver, as Victoria escapes out of the ring. Lawler is rewarded by his heroic actions, with a kiss from Stratus.
We go Backstage, to where Eric Bischoff is sitting at his desk. In come The Dudley Boyz, with Spike behind. D-Von grabs Bischoff by the tie. D-Von, “Bisch, you say every title is on the line tonight! Well give us a damn shot at those tag-titles! A whimpering Bischoff says…”What did you do, to deserve a shot at them anyway? Bubba, “Didn’t you see. Watch the match from last week. I was the legal man dammit.” D-Von, “Anyway, Rob Van Dam ain’t here tonight. So do we get the damn match or not!?” Bischoff, “NO!” Bubba pulls Eric out of the chair by his tie, and gets right in his face. Ray, “ If you don’t give us the fu*kin match, your pussy ass will regret it.” Eric stammers…”O,o,o,o…ok. But if you win, which of course you will have no chance of against my men, you have to defend the titles next week in a handicap match!” Bubba lets go of him, and they leave the room, with Spike laughing at Eric. Chief Morley appears. A fuming Bischoff says…“Go and find 3 Minute Warning! I think I have a job for them…” Eric as a pissed off look on his face, as him and Morley start talking, as the camera fades out to black…

Segment 3 (8.30-8.45)
United States Heavyweight Championship: Test © with Stacy Keibler vs. Booker T
"Can you dig it Sucka?" JR, “Here comes the 5 time WCW Champion and he will go one on one tonight with the USA Champ, Test!”
"Test, this is a Test"
Test runs down to the ring to get this match underway. Test, is also accompanied to the ring, by the beautiful Stacy Kiebler. Booker and Test circle the ring and start things off with a collar and elbow tie up. Test kicks Booker in the gut and is already going for the Meltdown, but Booker escapes and rolls to the outside. Booker waits for Test to come on the outside. Test follows Booker and the brawl begins! Booker goes to Irish whip Test into the barricade but Test reverses it, send the 5 time WCW Champion into the barricade himself. Test then picks up Booker with a Gorilla Press and drops him throat first over the barricade! Test then rolls Booker back into the ring. Test picks up Booker and slams him hard down to the canvas with a Scoop slam. Test bounces off the ropes and nails Booker in the throat with a Legdrop. Test goes for the cover but only gets a two count. Test picks up Booker and whips him into the corner turnbuckle. Test then nails Booker with some elbows to the head. Test then whips Booker into the opposite corner. Booker bounces off the turnbuckle and walks right into the Big Boot! This one could be over quickly! 1-2.....NO! Booker kicks out! Test can't believe it and Stacy can't believe it either! Test starts to get frustrated and throws Booker onto the outside. Test distracts the referee in the ring, while Stacy slaps Booker right across the face. Referee Charles Robinson looks on the floor to check on Booker and Stacy backs off. Test then goes onto the outside to bring Booker back into the ring. Test goes for the cover again but Charles Robinson only puts his hand down to the canvas twice! Test then positions Booker in the centre of the ring. Test then climbs the turnbuckle to the top rope! Test is wasting time by looking out to the thousands of fans. Test attempts a Frog Splash off the top but misses! Test is out! Booker is still down! Referee Robinson starts the count. 1.....2....3....4..... both men start to get back to their feet on the 7 count. Test is back to his feet first. Both men are in the centre of the ring. Test goes for a right hand punch but Booker blocks it! Test goes for another right hand, but Booker blocks it again! Test goes for another and Booker blocks this one!

Test gets back up again and another clothesline by Booker! Test gets back up again and another Clothesline by Booker. Test gets back up again and Booker whips Test into the ropes and nails Test with the Harlem Side Kick. Booker is waiting for Test to get to his feet again. When Test is back to his feet, Booker kicks Test in the gut and nails the Axe Kick! Booker is now setting up Booker for the Book-end! We could have a new USA Champ! Booker's got him set up! But Test is trying to block it with back elbows to Booker's head! Test escapes from the Book-end! Test kicks Booker in the gut. It looks like it's time for the Meltdown! Test picks him up, and drops him down thunderously to the mat with the Meltdown. Test goes for the cover. 1-2.....wait a minute! It's Jeff Hardy! Jeff Hardy from out of nowhere nails Test in the head with a Chair. The referee calls for the bell.
Winner by Disqualification at 9.29: Test
Jeff Hardy starts hitting Test with the chair right in the skull. Test is bleeding. Jeff Hardy then pulls Test over to the corner nearest the Spanish announce table and hits Test with a Swanton Bomb. Jeff then looks at the crowd, and then at Test! Jeff climbs to the top rope again, BUT HERE COMES SHAWN MICHAELS!!! As Jeff is about to attempt another Swanton Bomb, Shawn Michaels runs up onto the apron and Sweet Chin Music's Jeff while he is on the top rope. Jeff falls off the top and through the Spanish Announce table!!! The crowd starts chanting, “Holy shit!” over and over. Test slowly gets back to his feet. "Sexy Boy" hits the PA and Michaels celebrates! But wait a minute! Test is attacking Michaels! What the hell is going on?! Test, still bleeding hits Michaels in the skull with the steel chair, Jeff Hardy had used earlier. Test then picks up Michaels, and Meltdown's him onto the Steel Chair! Test leaves the ring with Stacy Keibler and the USA Title still around his waist.
Backstage, Test has just walked through the curtain, and up rushes “The Coach” for an interview. Coach, “Test, tell me why you attacked Shawn Michaels?” But before he can respond, Eric Bischoff cuts off Test! Bischoff, “What the hell was that? That match was shambles. So I have decided, that a re-match will take place. You, and Booker T for the USA Title. At the Royal Rumble! But I want to assure that no one will interfere in this match. So it is officially, a Steel Cage match! Bischoff storms off, towards the stage area, as we go to another area backstage…
We see backstage, where Chief Morley, has found 3 Minute Warning and Rico. Morley, “Yo Rico. Bischoff gave me a message for you!” Rico, “Sure, what is it?” Morley, “ You have to take out one of those damn Dudley Boyz, by 9.45, or there will be servere consequences for you!” Rico, “Sure, no problem!” Morley walks off, as the Island Boyz smack their fists, into the palms of their hands!
Break
Segment 4 (8.45-9.00)
We come back, with the camera focused on the ring, with Jeff Hardy slowly getting out of the rubble, of the table! And with Michaels, slowly getting up in the ring.
“Back in Black” hits once again, as Eric Bischoff comes back out to the stage, to some heat from the crowd. He has a microphone with him…” Now I know that neither of these men are in any fit condition for a ladder match, but dammit, I promised all titles would be on the line, and this one will be. So the match will still be on!!!” Bisch leaves the stage through the curtain once again, as we continue the show…
WWE Raw Championship: Ladder Match: Shawn Michaels © vs. Jeff Hardy
Shawn Michaels is now up and rolls out of the ring. He slides from underneath, a ladder. He gets in the ring with it, and starts climbing, and is about to reach the title belt hanging down. But Jeff Hardy gets in the ring at the last minute, and knocks the ladder from underneath him! Michaels is dangling by the cord, as Jeff Hardy goes off the top rope, with a flying clothesline, taking HBK down to the mat. Jeff pops right back up, grabs the ladder, and leans it against the corner. He goes to whip HBK into it, but Michaels reverses and Jeff goes crashing in to the ladder. Michaels runs and goes for a splash, but Jeff moves, and all he gets is a face full of ladder. Shawn stumbles backwards, and Jeff dropkicks him into the ladder, and as he staggers backwards, Hardy snaps him back with a nasty neckbreaker. Jeff rolls to the outside, and sets up a 2nd ladder, across the apron and barricade and then gets back into the ring, and sets up the other ladder, and climbs it. Michaels stumbles back to his feet, as Jeff jumps off the ladder, and catches him in an amazing Hurricanrana!!! JR, “Jeff, taking a high risk move there.” Jeff then puts the ladder on top of Shawn, and goes up top. He poses to the crowd and gets a mixed reaction, then dives off, going for a Splash, but Michaels get out from underneath the ladder, and Hardy lands on top of it!!! Lawler, “Ouch!” Michaels is back up, and he puts Jeff on top of the ladder. He goes up to the top rope, and signals to the crowd!!! They pop huge, as Michaels nails his Signature Elbow, crushing Jeff! Both men are down, as the crowd applaudes the huge move. Shawn slowly gets up, and drags the carcass of Jeff Hardy, to his feet. He whips him off the ropes, and drop toeholds him on top of the ladder. Shawn legdrops the back of his head, then hooks him in a face lock, and lifts him right up and over with a Vertical Suplex. He tosses Jeff outside the ring, over the top rope. Michaels slides out, and picks him up. Shawn goes to whip him into the ring pole, but Hardy reverses, and swings Michaels into the Steel Steps. Jeff shows his new mean streak, by viciously booting Michaels head into the steel steeps! JR, “Oh come on, enough is enough, Shawn is now bleeding!” Lawler, “Come on JR, there are no DQ’s!’ Jeff grabs Shawn, and repeatedly drills his head into the steps, numerous times. Shawn’s blood is flowing freely down his face now, while he is stumbling around ringside. Hardy gets on the apron, springboards off the ropes, and takes Michaels down with a Asai Moonsault!. He slowly gets back into the ring, sets up the ladder, and starts climbing. Shawn rolls into the ring, and stumbles into the ladder! Jeff goes flying off to the outside, and lands chest first on the ladder, set up across the apron/barricade!!! The crowd chants, “Holy Shit!!! Holy Shit!!!” Jeff is screaming in pain, holding his ribs. JR, “For the love of god, he must be broken in half!!! Shawn goes outside to check on Hardy. He helps him up to his feet, but Jeff pushes him away. Michaels tries to help him again, but Hardy shoves him hard backwards into the ring post, grabs a chair, and decks him over the head with it!!! Lawler, “Wow JR. Jeff wants no help from Shawn, even though his ribs are probably broken!” Hardy collapses on the ground in pain, holding his chest. While Michaels is out cold, from the chair shot!
JR, “We must go to a break. We will be right back, after this!”
Break
Segment 5 (9.00-9.15)
We return, to see Jeff Hardy stacking up some tables, at the bottom of the ramp. There are 2 stacks of 2 tables. He drags Michaels carcass over while holding his chest with his other hand, and puts him on top of the tables. Jeff Hardy gets back into the ring, sets the ladder up directly underneath the title belt, and climbs. He gets to the top, but instead of grabbing the belt easily, he signals down at Shawn. JR, “What the hell does he think he’s doing?” Jeff Hardy then attempts a Swanton Bomb off the ladder in the ring, to the outside, but Michaels manages to roll of the tables, and Jeff Hardy crashes through 4 TABLES!!!!!! The crowd start up the holy shit chant, once again. Lawler, “…I’m speechless.” JR, “We need help out here right now. He may even be dead dammit. Officials and Paramedics rush to ringside to check on him, as Michaels rolls into the ring. He slowly climbs the ladder, and reaches the title, taking it off the cord.
Winner: Shawn Michaels in 17.50
On the outside, paramedics are putting Jeff Hardy on a stretcher. JR, “Well Jeff Hardy was trying to prove his worth, but that attempt of the Swanton Bomb, has totalled backfired…” Lawler, “Poor Jeff. We may never see him, wrestle again.” JR, “If we can, we will get an update on the condition of Jeff Hardy, and tell you later in the program. Paramedics take away Jeff on a stretcher up the ramp, as we go backstage…
We go to Evolution’s Locker Room, where we see Randy Orton and Triple H, in a discussion. Orton, “Eric has given me a chance tonight. If I can beat Christian tonight, I am guaranteed a shot at the Raw Heavyweight Title, next week. HHH, “That is great, hey, I’ll come down to the ring with you, as you might need some help. That way, you’re gonna be guaranteed of that Title Shot you want!” Orton, “Sorry Hunter, but could you please stay behind while I’m out there. I know I can do this one myself, and I don’t want your help.” With that, Orton leaves the room.
Randy Orton vs. Christian- Winner gets a Raw Championship shot Next Week
Closing Moments: Christian has dominated most of the match up so far, and we are now 3 minutes in…Orton finally starts fighting back, drilling Christian with repeated punches. He goes to Irish Whip him, but Christian reverses, and knocks Orton down with a clothesline, when he comes back off the ropes. Christian drops an elbow on him, for the one…two…kickout! Christian puts an illegal chokehold on Randy, but the ref makes him stop. Christian locks in a sleeper, and it looks like Orton is fading away fast. The ref lifts his arm once…it drops back down limp. He does it again, and Orton’s arm drops down once again. The referee lifts it up for a third time, but Orton keeps it up. He fights back to his feet, and elbows Christian in the gut 3 times. Christian lets go as Orton starts to deliver the right hands. He whips Christian off the ropes, and nails him with a Dropkick. Randy leaps up to the top rope, and catches Christian, with a Flying Crossbody! He hooks the leg, one…two…kickout! But Orton now has Christian ready, for an inverted DDT. But Christian fights out of it, and gives Randy a Spinning Spinebuster. He picks Orton back up, and goes to whip him into the corner, but the referee Teddy Long was in the way, and Randy crashes into him, knocking the ref down. Christian stomps on Orton, as Triple H makes his way down to the ring with a chair, to a huge amount of heat.
Hunter gets in the ring, swings Christian around, and smashes his head into Hunter’s own knee. Christian staggers around the ring as Orton is now up as well. HHH goes to drill Christian with the chair, but he ducks and Randy takes the blow! The ref is now up but hasn't seen this, but orders HHH out of the ring. Christian now picks Orton back up and delivers the Reverse DDT. He pins…one…two…HHH goes to break the pinfall, but the ref counts 3.
Winner: Christian in 7.11
JR, “Well Triple H, has just caused Randy, to lose a title shot opportunity.” Lawler, “And Orton is fuming as well!” Orton is yelling at HHH in the ring, before he storms off to the back.
Break
Segment 6 (9.15-9.30)
We go backstage where Batista and Ric Flair is waiting in Evolution’s locker room. Orton comes in, as HHH does, not long after. Orton, “What the hell do you think you were doing?!?! I damn well told you not to come out! I didn’t need your help!” HHH, “It was a damn accident and you know it! Anyway, you know you needed my help, you were getting your ass kicked, and…” Orton, “What the hell did you just say?” Flair, “Alright, calm down everyone. Hunter, he told you not to come out and help him. He was doing alright in the match, and now you have ruined his chance of a title shot.” Orton, “Damn right you have!” HHH, “Ok, I’ll make it up to you, when I beat Kane later tonight single handedly to retain my gold, I promise I’ll give you a title shot next week. Deal?” Randy says nothing, and leaves the locker room, with Batista alongside. Flair, “Hunter, you have really pissed off him now…”
World Tag Team Championship: Lance Storm and William Regal © w/Chief Morley vs. The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von) w/Spike Dudley
Closing Stages of Match: Bubba gets the hot tag, after he has been dissembled the entire match, by cheating tactics, from Storm and Regal. D-Von gets into the ring and explodes on Storm with numerous right hands. He whips him off the ropes, and nails Storm with the flying forearm. Regal gets into the ring, and runs straight into a Back-Body drop. Bubba is now up, and puts Storm in a Full Nelson. He then drills him with the Bubba Bomb. Suddenly Chief Morley runs down the ramp, to a lot of heat, from the crowd. Regal has the referee distracted, as Morley hotshots D-Von’s neck on the ring ropes. Bubba gets out of the ring, and chases the Chief around to near the announcer’s table. Suddenly, Morley turns around, and brains Bubba with the ring bell! He is now busted open. Regal now comes to the outside, and takes a chair. He looks as though he is about to nail Bubba with it, but the referee comes outside and takes the chair away. Regal and the ref get into an argument, which leads to a distraction, for Chief Morley to go to the top rope, on the other side of the ring, nearest to D-Von who is lying prone in the ring. He signals for The Money Shot, but suddenly lil’ Spike Dudley runs down the aisle, to a huge pop. He gets on the apron, and shoves Morley off, who goes flying on top of the barricade! Spike then picks him up, puts him in a headlock, runs and kicks off the apron, and gives Chief the Dudley Dog, on the outside! Bubba is back up on the outside, spins Regal, who is still arguing with the referee around, lifts him up and drops him, on the steel-steps, front first! Regal holds his gut, as inside the ring, D-Von whips Storm off the ropes, and bends down for a Back Body Drop. But Storm kicks him in the face, and then nails him with a Superkick! Meanwhile, on the outside, Spike is beating the crap out of Morley, as the referee goes over to sort it out. Bubba is back in the ring now, as Storm grabs him and delivers a DDT! Regal comes back in the ring, and his clenching his left fist. Storm picks a limp Bubba back up, and holds him in place. Regal goes for a left hand, but Bubba ducks, and Storm gets hit!

Winners: The Dudley Boyz in 11.21
Lawler, “Well I bet that Lance won’t be very pleased, with William Regal. He just ko-ed William with the brass knucks, and caused them to lose the Tag-Title belts!” William Regal and Chief Morley, carry an unconscious Lance Storm up the ramp, as all 3 Dudleyz pose on the turnbuckles, celebrating in the ring!
Break
Segment 7 (9.30-9.45)
We see the victorious Dudley Boyz backstage celebrating, along with Lil’ Spike. D-Von, “Damn, now all we need are a few cans of beer!” Spike, “If you want, I’ll go and get some for you. After all, you deserve them!” BuhBuh, “Ok, we’ll be in the locker room.” We see Spike Dudley walking down the hallway, towards the vending machine. But suddenly out of nowhere, 3 Minute Warning attack, and beat the crap out of Spike. Rico rams his head straight through the Vending Machine, and then Jamal Powerbombs him through a nearby table, straight to the concrete floor! Rosey then picks him up, and tosses him through a Plate Glass Window!!! We see that the Dudley is a complete bloody mess! Rosey wipes Spike’s blood off his hands, on a nearby wall. They walk off, as we see Eric Bischoff in the background, looking at his watch…
JR, “Now…” But suddenly, he is cut off by AC/DC’s “Back in Black” once again. And Eric Bischoff walks down to the ramp, to some heat from the crowd. Lawler, “Well I think that everyone here, is getting sick of Eric coming out, again and again and again.” JR, “Well I can say, that I have certainly had enough “Eric” for one night! Bischoff gets into the ring, and takes a microphone from a ringside official. Bischoff, “Rosey, Jamal, Rico, come on down to the ring now!” 3 Minute Warning’s music hits, and they all come down to the ring and get in. Bischoff, “Well, I told you to take out a Dudley boy, and I see you have completed your task…” All 3 nod their heads. Bischoff, “But…it seems to me, that you took a little too log to do it. About 3 minutes too long…” Suddenly over the barricade and into the ring, comes BROCK LESNAR!!! JR, “Oh my god, it’s Brock!!! Lawler, “He must have jumped from Smackdown!!!” He gives Rosey an F-5, and when Jamal runs at him, he takes an F-5 as well!!! Rico tries to climb out the ring, but Brock drags him back into the ring, by his afro. He then gives Rico a Double-Powerbomb, driving him twice, into the ring mat!!! The crowd is going wild, over Lesnar! Eric Bischoff is laughing evilly, and offers his hand to shake. Brock puts his hand out as well, and they shake hands and hug. They raise their hands together in the air, and the crowd gives a mixed reaction. Bischoff goes to let go, but Brock won’t let go of his grasp. Suddenly, Brock pulls him in and hoists him over his massive shoulders, and drills him with a HUGE F-5!!! JR, “Oh my god, Lesnar just F-5’ed his own boss!!! Lesnar’s music hits, as he raises his arms in the air, to a massive pop!!!

Main Event:
WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Triple H w/Ric Flair vs. Kane
“Time to play the Game” The lights dim, as out comes Triple H to a huge amount of heat. He tips water from his bottle over his head, and then slowly walks down to ringside. He gets on the apron, and sprays his usual Fountain of Flurry from his mouth. He climbs through the ropes into the ring, and hands his belt to Senior Referee Earl Hebner. Ric Flair is at ringside, as usual. Kane’s music hits as he walks down the aisle, to a pop. He gets into the ring, as Hunter makes a hasty exit.

HHH gets on the apron, but drops back off, when Kane reaches for him. HHH gets on the apron again, but this time Kane grabs him by the hair and yanks him over top of the ropes. HHH stands up, and is pummeled with right hands into the corner. Kane whips him to the opposite corner and follows in with a running clothesline. Hunter staggers out of the corner and bounces off the ropes, right into a big boot to the face! HHH rolls to the outside as Kane follows. Kane goes after him, but Hunter runs around ringside, with Kane giving chase. HHH rolls into the ring as Kane rolls in, but Hunter is all over him with stomps.

JR, “Kane showing great power there.” Lawler, “Triple H is being manhandled!” HHH gets in the corner and is pleading for Kane not to get him, but Kane just knees him in the face, and chokes him with his boot. Kane brings HHH up, and whips him off the ropes, and into a Powerslam! Kane goes to the top rope, and waits. When Hunter gets up, he gets floored with a Flying Lariat! Kane drags HHH’s carcass up, and sets up for the Chokeslam! But HHH kicks Kane low, and gets out of it. The referee asks HHH if he kicked Kane low, but HHH drills the referee with a right hand! HHH stomps on Kane, and yells at Flair on the outside, “Pass me the damn Sledge.” But Flair responds with, “No, I’m sick of all this cheating to win. Beat him straight and fair!” HHH goes to the outside and shoves Flair and asks him, “What the hell do you think you’re doing?” Flair shoves him back! HHH turns his head away, then turns back and boots Flair in the gut, and drills him with The Pedigree on the outside!!! JR, “Oh my god, HHH just gave his manager The Pedigree!” HHH drags The Sledgehammer from out under the ring, and rolls in. By now, Kane is up, and HHH wipes him out cold, with the Sledge!!! JR, “Oh no. Come on ref.” He pins Kane…one…two…but hang on, Randy Orton comes in, and starts beating on Flair. Then Batista is in the ring, and joins in on the beating as well!!! The crowd is going wild, popping huge! The bell rings, as the ref has given the match to HHH by DQ!
Winner by DQ: HHH in 6.30
Lawler, “Oh no, Evolution is broken down now!” Suddenly we here the WolfPac howl, as Big Sexy Kevin Nash, strides down to the ring, to a mixed reaction. Orton and Batista jump out of the ring and check on Flair, as their stare at Nash. A beaten HHH is holding the ropes, to keep himself up. Nash gets in the ring, but doesn’t attack HHH. They look at each other, in an intense staredown. JR, “Why is Kevin Nash out here. To attack Helmsly, or to help him??? Remember last week, Evolution fled the ring when Big Sexy came out!” Lawler, “But JR, there is no more Evolution!
But Suddenly we hear the Sound of Glass Shattering!!! JR, “Oh my god, it’s Stone Cold!!!” Lawler, “Another person, has jumped back to Raw from Smackdown!” Steve Austin comes down to the ring, to a thunderous ovation.

Segment 1: (8.00pm-8.15)
The pyrotechnics explode on the stage, as Union Underground’s “Across The Nation” blares across the PA system.
JR “Welcome fans, to WWE Raw. We are live here tonight from the Joe Louis Arena, in Detroit Michigan. Lawler, “And what a show, we have for you tonight.” JR, “That’s right King, on this night, the General Manager for Raw Eric Bischoff, has ordered that all Raw titles will be defended tonight. The US Title, The World Tag Titles, The Raw Championship, and the World Heavyweight Championship.” Lawler, “You forgot one thing JR.” JR, “ And what was that?” Lawler, “Puppies!!!” JR, “Yes King, Victoria will defend her Women’s Championship tonight against Trish Stratus.” Lawler, “Anyway, lets go to our first match up!” JR, “A rematch from last week!”
Rodney Mack w/Theodore Long vs. Maven
After both men are in the ring, “Back in Black” by AC/DC hits, and the GM, Eric Bischoff walks out onto the stage. Bisch, “ The Raw roster is getting overcrowded. It is totaling over 50 at the moment. Not everyone have the chance, to be on Raw. So I’ve decided, that there isn’t enough room, for some of the roster. So I officially order this, to be a loser leaves Raw match! Thankyou!” Bischoff goes back through the curtain. JR, “Oh my god, one of these men, are going to leave here tonight, without a contract!!!” Lawler, “My pick is for Mack to win JR.”
…We join the match, which has been dominated by Rodney Mack, in the closing stages. Maven is perched on the top rope, and flies off with a dropkick, to knock Mack down. Maven climbs on the top turnbuckle, and raises his arms in the air to a pop. But from the outside, Long low blows him, and Maven falls off. The ref did not notice this, as he was checking on Mack. Rodney is back to his feet, and grabs Maven by the neck, and lifts him up. He puts him in a powerbomb position, lifts him up over his head, rams him back first into the turnbuckles, and then delivers a brutal Sitout Powerbomb!!! He hooks the leg…one…two…, and Rodney gets off him? JR, “Oh come on!” Lawler, “He’s not finished with him yet JR!” Rodney drags him to his feet, and short-arm clotheslines him back down. Mack goes to the outside, and discusses something with Long. Mack slides back in, and picks up Maven. On the outside, Long is abusing the crowd, as Mack whips Maven towards the ropes. But Maven reverses the whip, and Long sticks his arms out, and accidentally trips Mack! Rodney gets back up and yells at Long, asking him what the hell he thinks, he’s doing. But suddenly Maven rolls Mack up from behind…one…two…three! JR, “Maven! Maven! Maven has won!”
Winner in 8.30: Maven
After the match, Long gets in the ring, trying to apologise to Mack. But Rodney takes none of the apologies, as he has just gotten fired, boots Theodore in the gut, double-arm underhooks him, and drills him head-first into the mat, with the GONSO BOMB!!!
Mack storms out of the ring, as Al Snow rushes down to congratulate Maven. But suddenly, from the Back runs Batista. He get in the ring, and as Snow turns around, Batista drills him with the Spinebuster!!! Maven takes a boot to the gut, and a Sitdown Powerbomb!. Batista gets on the Mic…”This proves, that I am one of the most dominant people here! Bischoff, I hope you’re watching. You never give me a damn chance. Well you’d better soon! Or you will pay!”
With that, Batista leaves the ring.. JR, “Well he has certainly just spoken his mind! Fans, we’re going to a break. See you after this.”

WWE Women’s Championship: Victoria © w/Steven Richards vs. Trish Stratus
Closing moments: Victoria has Trish on the top rope. She goes for a Hurricanrana, but Stratus holds onto the ropes, and Victoria flips down, but manages to land on her feet. She stumbles forwards, as Trish flies off the top, for a flying Bulldog, but Victoria pushes her off, and Trish lands on her back, which she holds in pain. She stumbles to her feet, right into a vicious Victoria Superkick. That is enough, for the 3-count.
Winner in 4.35: Victoria
Richards gets into the ring, and celebrates with Victoria, and starts taunting, a now standing Trish. But Stratus slaps the taste out of his mouth. Victoria grabs her arms from behind, and Trish struggles as an angry Steven, sets up for a Superkick. But suddenly, Lawler takes off his headset from the announcer’s table, and gets in the ring! JR, “What the heck are you doing King?” Lawler gets in the ring, and spins Richards around from behind, kicks him in the nuts, and gives him the Pulling Piledriver, as Victoria escapes out of the ring. Lawler is rewarded by his heroic actions, with a kiss from Stratus.
We go Backstage, to where Eric Bischoff is sitting at his desk. In come The Dudley Boyz, with Spike behind. D-Von grabs Bischoff by the tie. D-Von, “Bisch, you say every title is on the line tonight! Well give us a damn shot at those tag-titles! A whimpering Bischoff says…”What did you do, to deserve a shot at them anyway? Bubba, “Didn’t you see. Watch the match from last week. I was the legal man dammit.” D-Von, “Anyway, Rob Van Dam ain’t here tonight. So do we get the damn match or not!?” Bischoff, “NO!” Bubba pulls Eric out of the chair by his tie, and gets right in his face. Ray, “ If you don’t give us the fu*kin match, your pussy ass will regret it.” Eric stammers…”O,o,o,o…ok. But if you win, which of course you will have no chance of against my men, you have to defend the titles next week in a handicap match!” Bubba lets go of him, and they leave the room, with Spike laughing at Eric. Chief Morley appears. A fuming Bischoff says…“Go and find 3 Minute Warning! I think I have a job for them…” Eric as a pissed off look on his face, as him and Morley start talking, as the camera fades out to black…

But Jeff Hardy gets in the ring at the last minute, and knocks the ladder from underneath him! Michaels is dangling by the cord, as Jeff Hardy goes off the top rope, with a flying clothesline, taking HBK down to the mat. Jeff pops right back up, grabs the ladder, and leans it against the corner. He goes to whip HBK into it, but Michaels reverses and Jeff goes crashing in to the ladder. Michaels runs and goes for a splash, but Jeff moves, and all he gets is a face full of ladder. Shawn stumbles backwards, and Jeff dropkicks him into the ladder, and as he staggers backwards, Hardy snaps him back with a nasty neckbreaker. Jeff rolls to the outside, and sets up a 2nd ladder, across the apron and barricade and then gets back into the ring, and sets up the other ladder, and climbs it.

He tosses Jeff outside the ring, over the top rope. Michaels slides out, and picks him up. Shawn goes to whip him into the ring pole, but Hardy reverses, and swings Michaels into the Steel Steps.

JR, “Oh come on, enough is enough, Shawn is now bleeding!” Lawler, “Come on JR, there are no DQ’s!’ Jeff grabs Shawn, and repeatedly drills his head into the steps, numerous times.

If I can beat Christian tonight, I am guaranteed a shot at the Raw Heavyweight Title, next week. HHH, “That is great, hey, I’ll come down to the ring with you, as you might need some help. That way, you’re gonna be guaranteed of that Title Shot you want!” Orton, “Sorry Hunter, but could you please stay behind while I’m out there.
