Here it is peeps, 2nd week of CR's Friday Night Raw, let me know what you think again so I can improve, thanks in advance and hope you all enjoy it!!!
The show kicks off with a video segment from last week’s Raw showing most of the good action from the Intercontinental Championship match and the main event, which recaps on Tomko turning on Christian and HHH busting Flair open with a Sledgehammer after Evolution lost to HBK, Orton and Y2J.
The fireworks go off as we get a close up of J.R and The King.
J.R: Hell there folks and welcome to Friday Night Raw!! What a great night we have in store for you right here in Cleveland, Ohio. We knew last week that Tyson Tomko would be facing Shelton Benjamin for the Intercontinental Title, but don’t forget folks, Christian will probably still be pissed off with Tomko’s action with costing him the title last week. We also have a brilliant main event for you tonight in which Randy Orton will take on The Game, Triple H. What are your thoughts on this evening King?
King: I think tonight should be a benchmark for some of the matches that will happen at the Survivor Series J.R, I’m particularly looking forward to what Ric Flair has to say about last weeks beating from Triple H, it looks like Evolution will have to find a new member tonight to take Flair’s place!
Suddenly Christian’s Peep Music hits and Captain Charisma walks down to the ring looking very pissed off, none the less, he signals to his Peeps who are actually cheering him slightly tonight, he gives them his trademark smiling and pointing as he gets in the ring. He walks over to the ropes and asks for a microphone.
Christian: Firstly, I have to say…A Big Hello To All My Peeps, Right here in Cleveland Ohio! Man it’s great to be back here, as I’ve had some brilliant matches here over the years. Anyways, enough of the small talk, I’ve got a bigger fish to fry. Tomko, Tomko, Tomko, what the hell are you talking about. Last week you said I was bringing you down, now if that isn’t irony then I don’t know what is Goat Boy! The crowd cheer Christian quite loudly as we hear a Captain Charisma Chant. You have to be the worst wrestler I have ever seen in my life. Now Captain Charisma gives you the thumbs up for having the balls to attack me and turn on me, but don’t forget I will get you back Tyson, yes you were my problem solver and yes, I couldn’t stand you, but all you were interested in was money, you are nothing but a greedy piece of sh*t. Tyson I have a couple of questions to ask you, do you really think your better than me? Everyone knows that Captain Charisma is one of the best wrestler’s here on Raw, the crowd give Christian a mixed reaction for what he just said. You Tomko, are nothing! What have you done in your time here in the WWE except kiss my ass and ride that little slut Trish Stratus?
J.R: This is the most pumped I’ve seen Christian in years King, he’s determined to get revenge on Tyson Tomko!
King: Tomko deserves it J.R, no one can beat up The Showstealer and get away with it!
Christian: Tomko, we’ll all see how good you are tonight when you get beat like a little bitch by Shelton Benjamin, then I’ll make it my duty to beat your ass on Raw next week to get a little retribution after you beat the crap out of me last week! It shouldn’t be hard to beat you Tyson, guys in the back show the picture…….We see a picture of Tyson Tomko’s head on a goat’s body as the crowd laugh hysterically at the picture, Christian laughs with the crowd. You see it isn’t hard to beat a goat but still, I’ll make sure Tyson, no-one messes with Christian and gets away with it, for all my Peeps and to all the fools, say it loud….CHRISTIAN RULES!!!
Christian drops the mic and walks back up the ramp and is pointing to the crowd and slapping his chest, he turns around and walks up the ramp past J.R and The King when out of no-where we see Tyson Tomko run out of the curtains and nail Christian with a Big Boot, he points to Christian and says “No-one makes fun of me and gets away with it you CLB!” as Tomko walks to the back smiling evilly!
J.R: Not this week again! When Christian recovers from this, he’ll make sure he gets his revenge on Tomko next week on Raw!
King: What a nerve Goat Boy has J.R, that’s the second week in a row he’s gotten the better of Captain Charisma, we know Christian won’t take this lying down!
Commercial Break
J.R: What a start to the show King, I can’t wait to see William Regal get his revenge on Snitsky and Eugene after what happened last week!
King: I wonder who Regal’s mystery partner will be tonight, there have been rumors in the back that it might be Maven but we’ll have to wait and see.
Eric Bischoff is shown on the titantron, looking slightly annoyed tonight!
Bischoff: As you all know Regal has picked a mystery partner, he is a superstar returning from injury, however, if this superstar doesn’t win with Regal tonight he will be fired with immediate effect as we don’t like losers here in the WWE and especially on Friday Night Raw, also this superstar has been injured too much and if he wins then he can stay, enjoy your night…Regal’s mystery partner!
Bischoff laughs hysterically as the camera pans off the titantron and zooms in on the stage area!

J.R: I expected this reaction from the crowd here in Cleveland, what a traitor Eugene is, he is nothing but a two faced bastard King!

He shakes hands with Regal who is smiling away as the pair get in the ring and pose to the crowd.
J.R: My god King, it’s Test he’s finally back!! What an ovation from the crowd!
King: I’m glad to see Test back, let’s hope he hasn’t lost any of his ability J.R!!

Snitsky writhes in pain as Regal runs off the ropes and delivers a running elbow drop but he misses, Snitsky then tags in Eugene, the crowd boo the socks off Eugene as he gives the crowd the bird!
J.R: What an arrogant, pompous ass Eugene is King, did you see what he just did?
King: Yeah I did J.R, but let’s focus on the match!
Eugene walks over to Regal confidently, he picks him up and gives him a scoop slam, Eugene picks up Regal again and gives a hanging vertical suplex, he then covers Regal, 1….2..Test comes in and breaks up the pin-fall attempt. Eugene then tags Snitsky back in who stalks Regal and then goes for the Pump handle Slam, but Test comes in and nails Snitsky with the Big Boot, both men are down and need to make a tag. Regal tags in Test and Snitsky tags in Eugene, Test is getting cheered very loudly as he mounts some offense on Eugene, Test hits a DDT on Eugene, he then goes to the top rope and goes for the Diving Elbow Drop and he hits Eugene right in the heart. Eugene is hurt badly and Test goes over to the corner to signal for the Big Boot…..

However, Gene Snitsky grabs Test foot and trips him up, Eugene then walks over to Test and delivers a Rock Bottom to him, Snitsky then attacks Regal so that he can’t interfere in the match but Regal pulls out the brass knucks and hits Snitsky with them.

J.R: God damnit, Regal and Test lost, those bastards cheated again King, I can’t believe the Referee didn’t see the cheating going on! Snitsky held Test’s foot down and Eugene had a grip of the ropes! Test is out of a job King!
King: I thought Test was going to clean house but Snitsky and Eugene had a game plan and it worked brilliantly! I guess this is the last time we’ll see Test!
Lilian: Here are your winners….Gene Snitsky and Eugene! Snitsky & Eugene bt. Regal & Test by pin-fall at (14:56)
Eric Bischoff is shown backstage speaking to his newly acquired Superhero Henchmen, Hurricane & Rosey look annoyed that they now have to take orders from Bischoff. Bischoff however is happy that Test is now out of the business.
Bischoff: Well well, looks like Test is out of a job, that’s 2 things I knew that would happen, the other was that I had a funny feeling that you guys would lose against Benoit & Edge last week, though technically you both got beat by Benoit seeing as though Edge walked out, now tonight, Hurricane you have a match against Benoit, should you win this match you will win a Tag Team Title opportunity for yourself and Rosey, DON’T SCREW IT UP!
Hurricane: Ok Mr.Bischoff, can Rosey come to ringside with me?

J.R: Good start to the match from Benoit, King, Hurricane aggravated Benoit by slapping him!
King: I think that was stupidity from Hurricane, as we know how intense Benoit is without getting provoked like that!
Hurricane slips outside the ring, Benoit notices that Hurricane is beside the barrier, Benoit then decides to do a suicide dive through the ropes but Hurricane moves out of the way and Benoit misses and hits hid head straight into the barricade.

Jericho: Ladies and Gentleman, welcome to…RAW IS JERICHO!!!! More importantly, welcome to my Highlight Reel. Now we have a very special guest here tonight, none other than the Big Nosed Ass Kisser, Triple H, but let’s not talk about him yet, let’s talk about the Highlight of The Night, Y2J! The crowd, are going nuts for Jericho tonight. Now you all know I have to face…Randy Orton here tonight to get a shot at The Game-ahhhh, I will give it my best shot as I want to be the man to take that gold away from Bischoff’s favourite ass kisser. Anyways, put your hands together ladies and gentleman as we welcome the soon to be ex-WWE World Champion….TRIPLE H!
Time To Play The Game hits the arena as the fans boo Triple H right out of the arena, he is looking very angry at Jericho and is slowly but surely making his way to the ring. He won’t take his eye off of Y2J and his face has gone bright red with anger. Triple H then gets into the ring and grabs a mic from Lilian at ringside.
J.R: This place could explode at any minute!
King: What an ego Jericho has! I hope Triple H knocks some sense into him.
Jericho: First things first Mr. Champ or should I say….CHUMP! Let’s talk about that Title of yours, which opponent would you least like to face at Survivor Series out of Randy Orton and myself?
HHH: Why should I answer to you Jericho, your nothing but a snot nosed punk! I know what we can talk about let’s talk about Wooo The Nature Boy Ric Flair? Now Flair I had to, that’s the simple reason, I had to kick your old crummy ass out of Evolution, you see Flair, you’ve lost it, your not even half as good as what you were, your just a little insignificant man now!
A big wooooo is heard throughout the arena as well as a chorus of boo’s for Triple H!
HHH: You see, tonight, we will be announcing a NEW member of Evolution to take over from your retired ass and thing is Flair, Batista and I, have handpicked this superstar and he already knows about it, but I’m sure you all will be shocked but the fact is, he is much better than you, has unlimited potential and doesn’t have wrinkly balls either! That last week, was the only way I could show you out of the door of Evolution, as you haven’t taken the hint any other week! Which brings me on to the other idiots that I hate as much as Flair, Orton and yes YOU JERICHO! Now I really don’t care which one of you two get the title shot as it’ll be easy pickings for me, but to make it fair, I have asked Eric Bischoff if I can “Officiate” this match and guess what, IM THE SPECIAL REFEREE!
Jericho: That’s all well and good Preparation H, but I will make sure I beat Orton so I can take that gold from around your waist, as I know you love it so much! As far as your new member of Evolution, who cares, Evolution is run down with jackasses now!
As soon as Jericho says that, HHH decides he’s heard enough and attacks Jericho, HHH low blows Jericho and Pedigree’s him!
J.R: What a minute King It’s….
King: RIC FLAIR’S HERE TONIGHT!
Ric Flair comes through the crowd, sledgehammer in hand and hits HHH in the back with it, HHH goes down in agony as Flair hits HHH in the head with it, The Game is busted wide open as Flair grabs Jericho and takes him to the back!
J.R: My god, Flair got his revenge on HHH!

We cut to the back to see Tyson Tomko psyching himself up for his match with Shelton Benjamin, Tyson hits himself in the head several times to pump himself up and he slams the door hard as he leaves the locker room.
Ain’t No Stopping Me hits the arena as Shelton Benjamin makes his way down to the ring, he slaps himself softly in the face several times before posing for the crowd, who are cheering him like crazy! Shelton gets in the ring and holds the Intercontinental Championship above his head.
Lilian: Ladies and gentleman here is your Intercontinental Champion, weighing in at 245lbs from Orangeburg, South Carolina…..Shelton Benjamin!
J.R: I hope Shelton beats Tomko tonight King, Tomko doesn’t even deserve a title shot, I dunno what Eric Bischoff was thinking!
King: I dunno J.R, I hope Shelton wins too but I think we are underestimating Tomko!
The words Tyson Tomko are heard as Tomko makes his way down to the ring with new entrance music and new titantron video, Tomko looks at the crowd with an evil smile as he laughs at the crowd, Tomko gets booed really loudly as he gets in the ring.
Lilian: And his opponent, Tyson Tomko!

The two men have a stare-down to start off with, Tomko extends his hand but Shelton just pushes his hand away as he doesn’t trust Tyson. Shelton and Tomko then walk around the ring before tying up with each other. Tomko backs Shelton into the corner and then raises his hands to show the ref that he can fight fairly, Tomko then strikes Shelton in the stomach several times with hard right hands. Tomko then picks up Shelton and lifts him above his head and gives him a hard military press slam. Shelton holds his lower back as Tomko lifts him up and kicks him in the stomach before hitting Shelton in the back with a clubbing blow. Shelton squirms over to the corner and leans against the bottom turnbuckle pad, Tomko runs at Shelton, looking as if he’s going to knee Shelton in the face but Shelton shifts out of the way at the last seconds and Tomko’s knee hits the turnbuckle at some speed.
J.R: Tomko came out of the blocks early King, but now Shelton has to capitalize!
King: Yeah I think that might have been the break Shelton needed J.R!
Shelton runs at Tomko and gives him a chop block as Tomko holds his knee. Shelton puts Tomko’s leg on the bottom rope and jumps up in the air and lands an elbow right on Tomko’s knee, as Tomko squeals in pain.

Tomko looks out for the count as he gets back up to his feet slowly, Shelton climbs to the top turnbuckle and goes for a Diving Cross Body and hits Tomko, but Tomko rolls through, 1….2…Kick out by Benjamin.
J.R: Tomko has impressed me so far tonight King, he’s matching every move Shelton makes!
King: This Tomko was taught by Christian J.R, how could he not be impressive?
Tomko gets back up quickly and hits a clothesline on Benjamin, Tomko smiles at the crowd before taunting at them, to which he gets a bad reaction from the Cleveland fans! Shelton slowly gets up and Tomko hits in with another clothesline, Tomko picks up Benjamin and goes behind him and hits a backdrop on Shelton who lands awkwardly on his back, Tomko realizes that Benjamin’s back might be hurt so he picks Benjamin up again before giving Benjamin 2 consecutive backbreakers, Tomko then pins Benjamin, 1….2…th- No! Benjamin kicks out at the last minute. Tomko whips Shelton in the corner and goes for a clothesline but Shelton ducks out of the way and Shelton goes for a kick but Tomko ducks and Shelton kicks the referee in the face and Mike Choida falls to the ground…..

Shelton is worried about the referee which lets Tomko take advantage and he is setting Shelton up for the Big Boot, Shelton turns around and Tomko goes for it but misses, Shelton goes for the T-Bone Suplex but Tomko kicks Shelton right between the legs and throws him off of the ropes and hits him right in the chin with the Big Boot, Tomko covers Benjamin but the referee is still down, then all of a sudden the crowd cheer really loudly and we hear Christian’s music go off, Tomko stares at the stage waiting for Christian to come down but Christian comes through the crowd and slides into the ring and low blows Tomko and sets him up for the Unprettier, Christian smiles just before he hits it and the crowd go mad for Christian as he nails Tomko with the Unprettier, Christian thinks that isn’t enough and he goes for 2 chairs….
King: We haven’t seen this in a while J.R!
J.R: He must be going for the con-chair-to King!
Christian positions Tomko’s head on one of the chairs and has the other one in his hand, Christian stares at the crowd and slaps his chest and a big smile spreads across his face as he smacks Tomko in the head with the chair! Christian rolls Tomko over and puts Shelton on top of Tomko as Christian leaves the ring the referee counts, 1…2….3!
J.R: My god King, Christian got his revenge on Tomko but he still owes Tomko one beating yet….What a match, what a finish, what an Unprettier, what a con-chair-to King!
King: Captain Charisma left a message for Tomko J.R, No-one messes with The Showstealer and gets away with it, what an exclamation mark Christian put on Tomko, he hit an Unprettier and nailed Tomko with the one man con-chair-to! I bet this feud isn’t over J.R!

Triple H is shown in the back putting on his referee’s shirt and we get a close up of Triple H’s head, there is a plaster over where he got busted open by Flair but the blood is seeping through it.
The camera then pans to Eric Bischoff who looks as if he’s going to say something.
Bischoff: Ladies and gentleman, some of you might be thinking Friday Night Raw is getting stale and a bit boring, with that being said, next week, 10 superstars who don’t appear on the active roster every week will fight it out and the last 5 people will save their job, however, the first 5 to be eliminated will be fired on the spot! Thanks for your time!
J.R: My god King, what a bombshell Bischoff just dropped on us!
King: I can’t believe it J.R! This is bad news for some of the non-active wrestlers on Raw’s roster!
Time To Play The Game plays as we await Triple H to come to the ring to referee the match, he appears on the stage area to a chorus of boo’s and douses himself with water before spitting some out, he walks down the ramp with an arrogant swagger and he sips some water and pours more on his head before throwing the bottle away, he gets on the apron and does his trademark water spitting before getting in the ring.
Lilian: On his way to the ring from Greenwich, Connecticut, weighing 260lbs, he is your World Heavyweight Champion and Special Guest Referee…..Triple H!
King: The Game looks angry still J.R! I wonder how he’s going to call this match cleanly?
J.R: I don’t know King, I’m still wondering who Evolution’s new member is!
