Hurricane vs. Billy Kidman - Cruiserweight Championship
The match started out fast pased with a lot of pin exchanges and high flying. At one point Hurricane tosses Kidman right over the top rope to the outside. Hurrican went for the Vertabreaker early but Kidman was able to reverse it into a bulldog. Kidman hit the sky high and Kidman gets a near fall as a result. Hurricane executes the super kick on Kidman and gets a near fall because of it. A little later on Kidman tries for the Shooting Star Press but Hurricane moves resulting in kidman hitting nothing but mat. Hurricane hits the Eye of the Hurricane and goes for the pin...only a near fall. Hurricane then starts to set up Kidman for the Vertabreaker in an attempt to finish him off, but Kidman reverses it into a sort of reverse Pedigree and gets the pin for the victory. Kidman gets up, and helps Hurricane to his knees. The two shake, and now it seems like we have two top face cruiserweights.
Winner and New Champion: Billy Kidman

THE NEW GM!
Edwards music hits, and out he comes walking quickly to the ring.
Edwards - "Cut my damn music. I know I only have a few minutes left in the show, so lets get right down to business. Last Thursday when watching smackdown I realized the RAW needed a GM, just like Smackdown. So I went over my roster, smackdown roster, possible workers, but nobody was good enough to fill the position of GM. Then it hit me, why not give the fans what they want on my very first RAW. I made a few phone calls, faxed the contract, and the deal is finalized. So it is my honor to announce the new GM of RAW as...........Bret Hart."
FANS GO CRAZY, CHANTING HITMAN
Bret makes his way down to the ring, and shakes hands with Travis, they pose as RAW goes off air.
