WWE Raw: Real American Wrestling
Monday Nights on SpikeTV! At 9 e/ 8 c
Pyros go off as the Raw theme plays.
JR: Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to another jam packed Monday Night Raw LIVE from New Orleans! We have a great show planned for you tonight there’s no doubt about that, listen to these matches…tell them King!
King: Right here tonight we are going to have a little preview of the World Tag Team Championship match next week as one half of 3 Minute Warning, the number one contender’s to the World Tag Team titles, Jamal takes on one half of the World Tag Team Champions Booker T in a tables match! This all resulted from last week’s backstage beating, let alone 3 Minute Warning’s handicap match Booker’s partner Chris Jericho, but we’ll fill you in more on that later this evening. Also tonight, Batista, the Animal of Evolution puts his Intercontinental Championship on the line one more time against Big Poppa Pump Scott Steiner! Do you think Scott will be able to take the title once and for all JR?
JR: I am not sure about that one King, but I know thing is for sure and that is going to be one hell of a slobberknocker! Also tonight, Kane is taking on Christian. Both men have been having their little mood swings as of late, but Kane is defending Rob Van Dam here and he is sure to bring the fight to Captain Charisma!
Evolution’s music hits as the World Heavyweight Champion Triple H comes down the ramp with Randy Orton, Ric Flair, and the Intercontinental Champion Batista.
JR: Here are four gentlemen that I imagine aren’t too happy right now. Evolution took on Goldberg, Kevin Nash, Shawn Michaels, and Scott Steiner last week in the main event on Monday Night Raw and came up just a tad short when the Champ himself got Jackhammered by the Number one contender Bill Goldberg!
King: Judging by this ovation, I don’t think New Orleans are Evolution’s biggest fans!
JR: Couldn’t have said it better myself!
HHH: Let’s get things straight right off the bat. Don’t believe what you heard or saw about last week, Evolution did not lose. Evolution doesn’t lose, Evolution is unstoppable. We are the greatest unit running in professional wrestling today, hell, maybe ever. All that I know is that last week, we were cheated, we were robbed, and we were played by Bill Goldberg. Everyone knows that Bill Goldberg is nothing but a fraud in this business. Goldberg is not a professional wrestler; the guy is an unsuccessful athlete who couldn’t make it in the NFL. Face it Bill, these fans know it, I know it, Evolution knows it, hell, I bet even you even know it, but since you are a little slow, I am not expecting that much so don’t worry. As far as I am concerned, you are not worthy of being number one contender. In my eyes, you are just as qualified as Maven, and that punk hasn’t even won a single match! The record books say that you pinned me 1…2…3 last week, too bad that wasn’t the case. I was concerned for Ric. I was distracted; I wanted to know if Nay-tch was okay. The ref didn’t understand me when I was trying to get to Ric, that’s when you took advantage Bill. That’s sort of the story of your career, you jump in at the most inappropriate time and cash in on whatever or whoever you can. Well congratulations Bill, another mission is a success. You are the number one contender, I might not like it or agree with it, but the match is set for next week Goldberg. You vs. Me! The World Heavyweight Championship is on the line, what are you going to do…
Goldberg’s music hits as Goldberg explodes out of the gate and stands at the top of the ramp.
JR: Looks like Goldberg has heard enough from the Game!
King: So he doesn’t like the truth? That’s what Triple H is saying JR, the straight truth.
HHH: Hey look boys; it’s the man of the hour, Bill Goldberg himself!
Goldberg: TRIPLE H! I came out here to tell you one thing and one thing only.
HHH: Let me guess…let me guess…I am next right? Listen Bill, you have to think of new material jack, that’s getting pretty old. You told it to me last week, I have heard it all before, so save it for someone who cares.
Goldberg: Game, that’s not what I came out here to tell you. I think you heard the stories of my reputation in WCW. I hold the record, I was unbeaten. I beat wrestlers day in and day out, and I have to say I think every single one of them can beat your ass any day!
HHH: You are going to start bringing up WCW? Is this guy serious? Goldberg, WCW went out way before it actually went out of business and as soon as WCW went out the window, so did you. I said it earlier; you are a fraud, just like WCW!
Eric Bischoff’s music hits as Raw General Manager Eric Bischoff comes down the ramp.
King: What is Eric Bischoff doing out here JR?
Bischoff: Excuse me? Triple H did I hear you correctly? WCW a fraud? Listen here “jack,” I beat Vince McMahon’s WWE Raw 82 consecutive weeks in a row, I just didn’t beat Raw, beating Raw means I kicked Vince McMahon square in the ass, I beat guys like the Rock, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Mankind, and yes, even you Triple H! Goldberg was my number one guy, despite what I might think of him now, I will back WCW through thick and thin, and I think, despite our disputes, me and Bill can agree on that. Let me make myself crystal clear, I can dismantle Evolution like that Triple H! Tonight Batista defends his Intercontinental Championship against a WCW Original, Scott Steiner. That leaves Batista off Raw’s 3 Hour Spectacular, but Randy Orton and Ric Flair seem to be left off, so I am making the match Randy Orton and Ric Flair taking on the team of Shawn Michaels and another WCW Original, Kevin Nash! Let’s not forget Triple H, you are taking on the king of WCW Originals, Goldberg next week for that title. So, what I am trying to say is that you shouldn’t be out here bitching and moaning and making jokes about WCW because within 7 days Evolution can be over! Evolution can sure pass superstars by, but what happens when Evolution gets passed by huh? I suggest you take my advice, but to keep your skills sharp Triple H, you are taking on someone you know very well right here tonight, let’s see, tonight Triple H is taking on…Kevin Nash! You better put your game face on, because after Nash, you got Bill next week, so Triple H, one last piece of advice, even though I despise the man, you better believe the hype!
Triple H stares daggers at Eric Bischoff and Goldberg at the top of the ramp.
JR: Wow! HHH vs. Nash tonight? What a main event! I can’t believe I am actually liking an Eric Bischoff decision!
King: Listen here JR, you hate Eric Bischoff, I personally like that guy! He is a great GM!
JR: As long as the show is on the air, he is a great GM besides his personality. Piece of advice ladies and gentlemen, never bring up WCW in front of our GM!
BACKSTAGE:
RVD is stretching in the locker room while Kane is lacing up his boots.
RVD: Hey Kane, you know I never got to thank you for saving me last week, but we still didn’t get to talk after the show about Unforgiven or that whole locker room incident, do you…
Kane: There is nothing to talk about Rob. I am completely…sane. Tonight I am going to go out there and show that little punk Christian just who he is dealing with. He is dealing with Rob Van Dam and the Big Red Machine, it looks to me like is the one way over his head. Rob, I know you are still a little bent out of shape from last week’s match, so just let me go out there. You have him next week in a rematch, so I will soften him up a little, or a lot…
Kane walks out.
RVD: But! Kane! Wait! Ahhh, forget it. I guess it is not a big deal…
RVD pouts and sits down and takes a deep breath, shaking his head.

BACKSTAGE:
Goldberg is talking to a stage manager backstage when Eric Bischoff walks up to him smiling.
Bischoff: So…
Goldberg: …so what?
Bischoff: I think someone deserves a thank you Bill.
Goldberg: What have I ever done for you?
Bischoff: No, Bill, it’s not getting through to your head. I think you owe me some gratitude. Didn’t you see how I backed you up out there?
Goldberg: Listen Eric, I don’t owe you squat. I didn’t need help with Evolution and I never will. Trust me, no offense, but you would be the last person I would ever ask for help from. Enjoy your night Eric…
Goldberg walks away and Eric Bischoff has a mischievous look on his face.
REPLAY: Christian is about to “Con-Chair-To” RVD, but Kane saves the day from last week.
Christian’s music hits as Captain Charisma comes down the ramp. The crowd boos the hell out of him as Christian walks down the ramp with a big grin across his face.
King: I really can’t stand this little worm JR! He is a virus infecting the entire Raw roster, let alone Trish who is back in the hospital thanks to this ass clown, as Chris Jericho would say.
Kane’s music hits as the Big Red Machine comes down the ramp.
JR: This is a changed man King. I can’t seem to figure him out, but he sure isn’t the same Big Red Monster we used to know. He had a little flip out session at Unforgiven and then the next night, after he lost his match at Unforgiven, RVD and Kane’s locker room was mysteriously destroyed! Kane wasn’t anywhere to be seen, do you think…
King: Do I think Kane did it? Yes, plain and simple, I wouldn’t trust this guy as far as I can spit.
JR: Well, trust him or not, he is defending Rob Van Dam here which is a plus, there is no purer person on this roster than Mr. Monday Night, so Kane is alright in my book!
Christian vs. Kane
Christian stands in his corner cockily smiling while Kane stares daggers at Captain Charisma. Kane charges Christian and goes for a big boot, but Christian quickly ducks and dodges out of Kane’s aim. Kane turns around and Christian starts unloading shots onto the Big Red Machine. Christian hits him with rights and lefts then kicks him in the knee. Kane shrivels up and Christian puts him in a front face lock. Christian nails Kane with shots to the back and goes for a DDT, but Kane quickly counters and hurls Captain Charisma up and over his back. Christian cringes, but gets to his feet quickly. Kane turns around and clocks Christian with an uppercut. Christian stumbles backwards and off the ropes straight into a hip toss by the Big Red Machine. Christian gets up and charges Kane, but Kane plants him with yet another hip toss. Christian gets up holding his back and charges Kane again and Kane grabs him and lifts him up for a sidewalk slam following up with the cover 1…2…kickout! Kane gets up and kicks Christian in the ribs. Kane picks Christian up, but Christian counters with a jaw breaker. Kane teeters as Christian gets to his feet and doubles back off the ropes. Christian charges the Big Red Machine and clocks him with a running dropkick. Christian quickly covers up Kane for the cover 1…2…kickout! Christian picks up the Big Red Monster and drags him over to the corner and slams his skull off the turnbuckles. Christian places Kane in the corner and unloads with back elbows to the face. Christian then goes to the second rope ready to shovel out mounted punches. Christian hits him 1…2…3…4…5…6…7…Kane grabs him by the tights and lifts him up and off the second rope then drops him with a powerbomb countering Christian’s mounted punches. Christian tries crawling in pain over to the ropes, but Kane bends over and grabs him by the tights. Kane drags him up and clocks him back down with a back clothesline. Christian tries to get to his feet on the mat, but Kane kicks him in the skull. Kane flips Christian over and Kane covers him 1…2…kickout! Kane stands up and gets that crazy look in his eyes.
JR: Wait, wait a minute folks! You see that look in Kane’s eyes? That’s the very same look he had at Unforgiven! You better watch out! Kane starts screaming and he grabs Christian.
Kane hurls Christian to the ropes then charges him taking him and Christian over the top rope. Kane picks up Christian and hurls him into the steel steps. Christian hits it flush with his shoulder. Christian screams in pain. Kane flips the ring apron up and grabs a steel chair. Christian squirms on the floor. The ref tries to calm Kane down, but Kane shoves the ref out of the way. The ref has seen enough and calls for the DQ.
WINNER: Christian by DQ
JR: It might not have been the result I was looking for, but nothing is worth serious injury, good call by referee Nick Patrick!
King: Oh come on JR! Knock his brains out Kane!!!
Kane is about to swing at Christian, but…
RVD runs down the ramp and emerges behind Kane.
RVD yanks the chair out of Kane’s hands. Kane turns around and is very violent towards RVD. He screams at him, but RVD tries to calm him down. Kane screams at him saying he was only trying to help. RVD says this isn’t the right way to do things. Kane seems confused. Kane starts holding his head in confusion. He agrees with RVD. Kane walks up the ramp with his head down. RVD drops the chair and is about to go help Christian. Christian grabs the chair. RVD turns around and Christian clocks Rob Van Dam with the chair. Christian smiles and laughs.
JR: Oh come on! What a sneaky no good bastard!
King: Where is Kane?
JR: He is long gone, he went up the ramp, this is terrible timing! Looks like some more fuel has been added to this fire, what will happen next week at Raw’s 3 Hour Spectacular as RVD and Christian collide one on one? This is getting heated quick!
BACKSTAGE:
Coach is standing by with the Number one contender for the WWE Women’s Championship, Victoria.
Coach: Good evening ladies and gentlemen, joining me at this time is the very Diva who defeated the WWE Women’s Champion Jazz last week, the first woman to ever get the 3 count on Jazz in quite some time. Victoria, going into this huge title match next week, what are you thoughts?
Victoria: Well Coach, f or one, I think it’s about damn time some other Divas are getting recognized on this damn show besides “Gail Kim.” I have had to sit on the sidelines watching her get title match after title match while I sat in the locker room, unable to do anything about it. Well Gail, I got the title match now, and you know what the difference between you and me are? I am going into a title match with Jazz already having a win over her, something you have never done! If you ask me Coach, the odds are solely in my favor. Come next week, you will see a new Women’s Champion.
Victoria walks away. Gail Kim walks up behind Coach.
Kim: Was that Victoria? Can you believe she is getting a title match? What has she done lately to get that match? Get a cheap win off Jazz? I have done nothing but break my back for Monday Night Raw and I don’t even get the rematch I deserve. Coach, ugh, forget it. I will show Victoria and Jazz, you’ll see!

BACKSTAGE:
Kevin Nash walks into Shawn Michaels’ locker room. HBK turns around and greets Nash.
HBK: Hey Kev, what’s goin’ on?
Nash: Well I don’t know if you heard or not, but tonight I got Triple H one on one, finally, once again in that ring. You know as well as anyone you can’t trust the Game or Evolution…
HBK: Don’t I know it…
Nash: I just wanted to know if you can watch my back tonight since we got Orton and Flair at Raw’s 3 Hour Spectacular next week.
HBK: No doubt about it Big Man, you know I always got your back. I have been fighting Evolution for months now, they are pretty predictable, so let’s see what goes down tonight and we’ll play it by ear. Don’t want to do anything to risky right?
Nash: Yea good idea, the Game is mine tonight, it’s just the rest of Evolution is what I am worried about.
HBK: No problem Kev, considered your back under full surveillance. See you later.
JR: Well that is good strategy on Kevin Nash’s part because you can never be too sure about Evolution King!
Maven’s music hits as Maven comes down to the ring.
King: Here comes a man with the very worst record here on Raw. This man came back from injury a couple months back and he hasn’t won a match yet! It’s unbelievable JR!
JR: Last week he had a very good back and fourth type of match with a lot of near falls, but his opponent D-Lo Brown was just too much for him so Maven chose to get DQ’d bringing in a garbage can! Believe that!
Maven: For those who don’t know me, let me take this chance to re-introduce myself. My name is Maven. I am one of the youngest, most gifted athletes on this roster today. I am the very first Tough Enough Winner in all of the WWE! I am a former Hardcore Champion! I survived WrestleMania X8 still holding my Hardcore Championship around my waist! That’s what brings me to tonight. I wanted to come down this ramp and officially declare to all of you that “Maven’s Losing Streak” officially ends next week at Raw’s 3 Hour Spectacular! That’s right! For the past few weeks, I was still getting back into my groove getting rid of the ring rust from my injury, and now that I am back into my niche, there’s nothing stopping me. Plus, to top it all off, my match next week is a Hardcore Match! How appropriate! My specialty! D-Lo Brown wants to make his “Big Comeback” using me as a stepping stone, well D-Lo we aren’t too different because I am looking to use you as a stepping stone to get back into the limelight of Monday Night Raw! For those of you who aren’t really aware…RAW is MAVEN!!! Yea! Awesome! Maven! Raw is Maven!
JR: You have got to be kidding me…
D-Lo Brown’s music hits as D-Lo comes running down the ramp.
D-Lo runs into the ring and goes for a clothesline on Maven, but Maven quickly ducks and makes a B-Line for the ropes. Maven slides under the bottom rope and out of the ring leaving D-Lo in the dust.
JR: Well it looks like Raw isn’t Maven tonight! From my view it looks like Raw is D-Lo King!!!
King: I like Maven confidence JR, he has great potential!
JR: I might agree with you King, that’s if he can only win a match first.
PROMO: Raw’s 3 Hour Spectacular Hype.
BACKSTAGE:
Eric Bischoff is pacing in his office with 3 Minute Warning sitting behind him.
Bischoff: Ugh, I am not too happy right now. My whole world, Monday Night Raw, is crumbling right before my very eyes. I have Triple H blatantly disrespecting MY WCW, I have Goldberg being ungrateful, and on top of it all Vince McMahon, the chairman of the WWE, is coming here next week with a huge announcement! Guys…what do you think I should do?
3 Minute Warning shrugs their shoulders at him. Gail Kim walks into his office. Bischoff turns around and sees Gail staring him in the face.
Bischoff: …Gail?
Gail: Mr. Bischoff, please, I am begging you, please put me into the Women’s Championship mix next week! You know I deserve that match, I didn’t get my rematch, and who the hell does Victoria think she is anyway? I mean…
Bischoff: Enough. First off, I don’t think you deserve a damn thing Gail, and second, I think Victoria is a prime contender for the Women’s Championship and Victoria would probably agree with me. This is just another scenario of blatant disrespect! You know what? The disrespect stops right now. Gail, you want to compete so much, I am going to give it to you…
Gail: You mean I get the match?
Bischoff: You are getting a match alright, but not the Women’s Championship match next week. I say you are competing right here tonight, as a matter of fact right now!
Gail: Um…alright…against who?
Bischoff: Hey boys…which one of you are fighting Booker T tonight?
Jamal: That would be me boss.
Bischoff: Alright, then Rosey, get over here…Gail…meet your opponent.
Gail: Wait…what?
Bischoff: Now get on out there, these people want wrestling and that’s what they are going to get!
Gail runs out of his office. Rosey runs out chasing her. Bischoff stands there laughing and Jamal is smirking in the back.
JR: Oh come on, is he serious King? Rosey out weighs Gail Kim by over 300 lbs! How can Bischoff do this?
Gail Kim is seen running down the ramp with Rosey in quick pursuit.
JR: Gail! Run Gail! Don’t stop! Get the hell out of here!
Gail Kim vs. Rosey
Gail reaches the ring and slides in, but Rosey catches up and reaches in and grabs her by the ankle. Rosey pulls her out of the ring with one arm and Gail flies out landing chest and stomach first on the outside floor. Rosey smiles and laughs as he drags Gail up by the hair. He lifts her up off her feet dangling her in mid air. The crowd boos. Gail slaps Rosey square in the face. Rosey doesn’t like that. He hurls her up and then catches her in a bear hug. Rosey starts swinging Gail back and fourth like a rag doll. Rosey laughs throughout this whole thing then whips Gail to the floor. Rosey steps on Gail’s stomach and walks right over her. Rosey picks Gail up and hoists her up on his shoulder. Rosey throws her into the ring then slides in himself. Rosey stands over a motionless Gail Kim then doubles back off the ropes and connects with a huge bodysplash on a defenseless Gail Kim. Rosey hooks the leg 1…2…3!
WINNER: Rosey
JR: Eric Bischoff you son of a bitch! How can you do something like this! I am sorry but something has to be done about this! First Christian lays his hands on Trish Stratus and now Eric Bischoff orchestrated this destruction of Gail Kim by a 300+ lb man! This is a disgrace to our business!
Rosey laughs and rolls out of the ring as EMT’s rush into the ring ready to help Gail Kim. Eric Bischoff is seen watching this in his office and he smiles to himself.
JR: Let’s go to a commercial break ladies and gentlemen; I am sorry you had to witness that…
COMMERCIAL
Batista’s music hits as the Intercontinental Champion comes down the ramp.
King: Well let’s try to switch gears here, we hope to get an update on Gail Kim’s condition, but for now let’s try and focus on this huge title match!
JR: Alright King, good plan. Here comes the Animal Batista, the reigning Intercontinental Champion here on Monday Nights. He has been reining champion ever since being awarded that title the first half of August a couple months ago. He has been an impressive champion despite who he might roll with.
Scott Steiner’s music hits as Big Poppa Pump comes down the ramp.
King: Eric Bischoff made this match earlier this week; I imagine that if Steiner loses this match, he might not get another title shot for awhile.

King: These two always manage to put on a great match, but that was beyond anything they have ever done in the past! What a match!
Batista raises his arms in victory and holds up the Intercontinental Championship.
BACKSTAGE:
Triple H is clapping watching the monitor in his locker room along with the rest of Evolution.
HHH: You see boys, that’s the sort of thing I want to see, unlike last week’s debacle. Batista is what Evolution is all about…talent…looks…dominance…money…championships! That’s what we are all about. Alright, Randy, Ric, tonight I got a match with Kevin Nash. Now, knowing Nash he will try and take the easy way out, so expect him to be trying to dupe Shawn into coming down to the ring with him. So, we plan strategically got me? You guys are going to accompany me to that ring tonight, I wouldn’t put anything past Kevin Nash. Although he isn’t too bright all the time, Kev has one thing that most people underestimate most of the time and that’s experience.
Orton: You don’t have to worry about a thing Hunter, we got you, and I expect that when Batista comes back here, he will be right there along with us.
HHH: Good work Randy, Ric, you have taught him well. I got a something I need to take care of again, so I will see you guys out there later tonight.
Flair: Woo! No problem Game!
Orton: See you out there champ.

REPLAY: Jamal powerbombs Chris Jericho off the ring apron through the announce table.
JR: We know that was some brutal footage we just showed you ladies and gentlemen, but we had to show you that footage to make it known just how dangerous 3 Minute Warning has become, even more so than before.
King: If you don’t believe us folks, just look what Rosey did to poor defenseless Gail Kim earlier tonight!
REPLAY: Rosey’s unnecessary beatdown of Gail Kim.
JR: For the record folks, I hope Booker T beats the living hell out of Jamal here folks.
King: By the way, I hear that Chris Jericho wasn’t even able to be released from the hospital as far as I know. Y2J isn’t here tonight, nobody can back Booker T!
3 Minute Warning’s music hits as Jamal comes down the ramp along with Rosey. They stop halfway down the ramp. Jamal tells Rosey that he has it under control. Rosey goes back up the ramp and Jamal comes down to ringside.
JR: Good, if Rosey was going to be ringside this whole match, Booker would have never had a chance…
Booker T’s music hits as one half of the World Tag Team Champions come down the ramp.
King: Booker has quite the challenge in front of him. Let’s remember Y2J wasn’t the only one taken out last week. Prior to Y2J’s beatdown, 3 Minute Warning ambushed our champs backstage taking out Booker T, that’s why Booker wasn’t seen helping Y2J later on that night.

BACKSTAGE:
Triple H is walking backstage. He walks up a narrow hallway asking everyone if they have seen Bill Goldberg around. Triple H gets to the end of the hallway in the arrival entrance of the building. He breathes heavily.
HHH: Damnit. Where the hell is Bill Goldberg? How can those “losers” not know where he is, what kind of people does Eric have working here…
Goldberg walks up behind Triple H.
Goldberg: Looking for me?
HHH: Yea, you know what Bill I am looking for you. I didn’t get everything out that I wanted to earlier tonight, and I just had to find you to tell you this one little thing.
Goldberg: Well Triple H, I am listening, what is it?
HHH: Come next week Goldberg, your whole image, your reputation, your career won’t mean a damn thing because once you fall, like all the rest, to me, there is no going back. I beat Shawn’s ass at Bad Blood earlier this year, do you see him getting anymore title shots? No. I just want you to know that once you lose to me, it’s over. There is no way out Goldberg. You are on a runaway train that is about to make an unexpected stop! I hope…
Goldberg: I hope you have a rematch clause in that little contract of yours because once I beat your ass for that belt, I don’t think one match will be enough to shut your mouth, let alone I would love nothing more than to beat your ass two times in a row. You go out there and have your little match with Kev, he shouldn’t be a problem for you right? I mean…he did “fall to the great Triple H” before, right? Ha, I’ll see you next week…Champ.
Goldberg walks away and Triple H feels disrespected. He shakes his head and grips his championship on his shoulder watching Goldberg walk away.
