WWE Raw: Real American Wrestling
Monday Nights on SpikeTV! At 9 e/ 8 c
Pyros go off as the Raw theme plays.
JR: Hello everyone and welcome to Monday Night Raw, LIVE from San Diego, California! JR Jim Ross and Jerry “the King†Lawler at ringside, what a show we have got for you…
Eric Bishoff’s music hits as the Raw GM comes to the ring.
King: Well JR, looks like you have just been interrupted by our GM!
JR: This wouldn’t be the first time King…
Bischoff: Ladies and gentlemen, you probably know, being Raw GM, presents very many difficult tasks that are put on my shoulders, to be able to communicate, to compromise with the WWE superstars, mainly make all of the tough decisions. That’s why I stand before you today, because I had to make a difficult decision, mainly pertaining to the World Heavyweight Championship, and its holder Triple H. Last week I told Triple H, that I would have a number one contender for his World Heavyweight championship match at Backlash and I indeed found one. Now due to that outcome of last week’s main event, I am proud to say that the new number one contender to Triple H’s World Championship is Y2J Chris Jericho!
Triple H’s music hits as the Game walks down the ramp.
HHH: Now with all my years of experience in this business, there are still some things I will never understand for the life of me. For instance, why Hulk Hogan found his way onto the WrestleMania card this year? Why do I find myself in crappy towns like San Diego, California? Here’s another, how can SmackDown! Get a sexy GM like Stephanie, while we get stuck with this little weasel? What puzzles me the most is, where in the hell do you get off naming Chris Jericho number one contender? Bischoff, I thought you were on my side? What the hell is going on here Eric!?!?
Bischoff: Now Triple H, calm down, and for the record I will let the weasel remark go, but as far as Chris Jericho and the World Championship goes, he made Triple H tap out last week if you like it or not!
HHH: Eric, you know as well as I do that was a cheap win, he should have been disqualified, he sent me through the announcer’s table, how can you tell me that’s anywhere near legal? Jericho isn’t even in my league! It’s like pitting WCW to WWE, there was just no comparison…oh, sorry Bischoff, bad comparison. I am the Game, the Cerebral Assassin, the World’s Heavyweight Champion, and you are going to try to sell Backlash, by having me fight…Chris Jericho?
Chris Jericho’s music hits as Y2J breaks the walls down and walks down the ramp into the ring.
Y2J: Are you done Triple H?
HHH: No Chris I’m…
Y2J: Shut the hell up! Triple H, I can’t believe what I am hearing out of your mouth, I am not in your league? You got to be kidding me, if anyone isn’t in a league, you are damn sure not in my league. As a matter of fact, there’s only one person in my league, and that’s me, Y2J, the Ayatollah of Rock N’ Rollah, the Sexy Beast, the first ever Undisputed Champion, the man of 1,004 holds, the one and only Chris Jericho!
HHH: Those are real great nicknames and catchphrases you got there Chris, if you wrestling ability was nearly as good as your mic skills, maybe you would be the one holding the championship, and, by the way Chris, don’t take that as a complement, because in this business, the professional wrestling business, you can have the biggest yap in the world, but having good mic skills doesn’t earn you squat!
Y2J: Well Triple H, if my memory serves me correctly, those so called wrestling skills, or lack there of, managed to beat your ass last week! I bet I can do it again too Triple H, because as all of these great fans heard just moments ago, Jericho and Triple H are going to go at it one more time at Backlash! Triple H, and at Backlash, I history will repeat itself one more time as I make your ass tap one more time and hold the World’s Championship above my head over your motionless body!
HHH: Chris, the only thing you will be holding is your head right after I bash your brains out at Backlash, because Jericho, You will never be in the same league as me no matter what outlandish thoughts pop up in that little head of your’s.
Y2J: We’ll see Triple H, we’ll see.
Chris Jericho’s music plays as Jericho begins to walk away.
JR: Well Chris Jericho sending a message to Triple H here tonight, he wants the World Heavyweight…
Triple H runs behind Jericho and cracks him in the back of the head with the World’s Heavyweight Championship. Triple H flips him over and starts mounting punches on Y2J’s skull. Triple H gets up and picks Jericho up by the hair and nails him with the Pedigree. He gets up and holds the World’s Heavyweight Championship above his head.
King: Well JR, Triple H got that message quick, and he replied, Y2J just got put down by the Game JR. I am not surprised, did you see that way Chris Jericho disrespected our champion? Horrible.
PROMO: Backlash Hype
The Dudley Boys’ music hits as Bubba Ray and Devon come down the ramp.
JR: Well King, getting on a better subject, after that horrible display by our World’s Champion, you see it on your screens, Bubba Ray and Devon Dudley, the World Tag Team Champs, are coming down to the ring!
King: It isn’t no surprise La Resistance asked for a rematch JR, they are cowards, they couldn’t get the job done the first time and now all of a sudden they want another chance, hope they don’t choke this time!
JR: Let’s remind out viewers, unlike last week, this is a non title match, but if La Resistance could defeat the Dudley’s here tonight, that might catapult them into contention for the World Tag Titles!

Bubba rushes Sylvan, but Conway jumps back down to the floor and grabs Bubba’s head hanging him up on the ropes. Bubba bounces back and Dupree nails him with a DDT. Conway runs back into the ring and both members of La Resistance starts stomping the hell out of Bubba. Rene Dupree does his signature French Tickler dance as Conway picks up Bubba Ray.

King: What a disgrace! This is a tragedy in America JR! La Resistance has just beaten our World Tag Team Champs!

King: I sure hope not, Frenchman don’t deserve to hold any gold in the WWE, it’s unheard of!

BACKSTAGE:
Coach with HBK
Coach: I am standing here with the Showstopper, the Heart Break Kid, Shawn Michaels. Now Shawn, earlier tonight Eric Bischoff revealed that the number one contender to be Chris Jericho, the same man whom you defeated at WrestleMania just mere weeks ago. How is this registering with you right now?
HBK: How is this registering Coach? How is this registering? Well Coach, I got to tell you, I am just a little bit angry right now, no disrespect to Chris Jericho, he is one hell of a competitor, but when you, Eric Bischoff, looked through the Raw Roster, and mistakenly passed up the Heart Break Kid, there could only be one reason for that little coincidence. The thing is Eric Bischoff has had it in with Triple H since the start, ever since I lost that World Heavyweight Championship, Triple H never wanted to face me ever again, and I don’t blame him, whoever steps into the ring with the Heart Break Kid, be prepared to have your teeth, kicked straight down your throat. Just ask Test, kicked his straight down his yap, oh wait, you can’t ask Test because I got that kid eating through a straw! However, back to your question Coach, the Showstopper lives and breathes to be the absolute best in the business today, but I can’t be the best unless I am the World’s Heavyweight Champion, Triple H, watch your back…
Ric Flair walks into the picture.
Flair: Woa, woa, woa, Shawn, what’s with all the hostility man? You are talking about Triple H watching his back, Game doesn’t need to watch his back, that’s what Evolution is for. Plus, if you wanted the World Title so bad, maybe you should have stopped your so called respective opponent, Chris Jericho, from beating Triple H last week. I don’t know if you age is catching up to you, but maybe if you started hanging with Evolution, maybe you would have that title shot sooner than you think, just a thought there Shawn. Woo!
Ric Flair walks off as Shawn Michaels has a reassuring look on his face.
Jeff Hardy’s music hits as Hardy comes out to a rockstar ovation.
JR: Well King here is the young daredevil, one half of possibly the greatest tag team in professional wrestling history, the Hardy Boys, yes, this is the one and only Jeff Hardy! I like this guy King, I like his style, his attitude, and most of all his heart!
King: JR, you have got to be kidding me, any nut job can walk out to that ring and jump off of stuff nearly killing himself, it doesn’t take a wrestler to do that!
JR: Are you calling Jeff Hardy not worthy of being in the WWE?
King: I am just saying, maybe Jackass would be a much more suited profession for this young man and let the wrestlers who actually care about the business be here!
JR: Well King, wrestlers want to win championships, although this match is not for a championship, whoever wins this match advances to the IC title match at this year’s Backlash!
Christian’s music hits as Captain Charisma comes to the ring.

King: Oh come on JR, haven’t you learned by now, even if Jeff Hardy dazzles and excites you one day, he’ll let you down the next!? He always pulls some high risk maneuvers that might impress the fans, but it always costs him the match, JR if you want Hardy to ever get that vacated Intercontinental Championship, you better pray he doesn’t let the fans get to him!
BACKSTAGE:
Victoria is in her locker room and Molly Holly walks in.
Victoria: Hey Molly, what brings you here?
Molly: Well Victoria, I came here with a proposition for you that you might be interested in.
Victoria: Well, I am not giving you any promises, but my ears are open…
Molly: Listen, you lost to Trish Stratus last week right? Well, it’s common sense that you aren’t going to challenge her for the title at Backlash, but, I know someone who will.
Victoria: Let me guess, the amazing Molly Holly, if you came to brag I don’t want to hear…
Molly: Hey, Victoria, let me finish. I just came from Eric Bischoff’s office and yea, he did give me the title match at Backlash, but, if I can get some insurance for my match, there might be a little reward…
Victoria: You know what, I kind of like where this is going…
They walk farther into the locker room and the door closes.

Evolution’s Locker Room.
HHH: Alright, now tonight, we have to work as a unit, alright guys?

Eric Bischoff made it up to me though, because tonight, Evolution gets revenge! Because right here tonight, Evolution’s own Randy Orton, the Legend Killer, and the Big man, Batista will take on the number one contender for my belt, Chris Jericho, and a partner of his choosing.
Orton: Don’t worry Triple H, tonight me and Batista will represent Evolution the only way we can, by beating the hell out of Chris Jericho, and placing you on that pedestal that you deserve to be on. Evolution will get Revenge here tonight, we promise you that!
HHH: Good, now go out there, your match is coming up…

JR: Let’s not forget, she is not only the hottest, but the most dominant in that squared circle that’s why she is the Women’s Champ, but I don’t know for how long. We all saw that deal that Molly Holly was proposing to Victoria backstage, maybe there’s something going on that we might not know about here King.
King: Oh I don’t care JR, it’s all about Trish, when I see Trish, everything else is blocked out of my mind, I am kind of in a trance.

King: Oh poor Trish, do you think she needs some tender love and care?
Molly Holly smiles and shakes Victoria’s hand. She motions that Trish is all her’s. Victoria starts stomping the hell out of the bad knee of Trish Stratus. She nails knee breakers and follows up with a half Boston Crab. Victoria lets up and slides out of the ring and picks a chair up from under the ring. She runs into the ring and raises the chair above her head and clobbers Trish’s knee with the chair.
JR: Oh lord no! What brutality! This is disgusting King! Victoria, destroying Trish’s already bad knee, which was due to Victoria also! We need medics out here, just as an observer King, Trish is in bad shape!

Terri with Chris Jericho
Terri: It’s almost time for tonight’s main event Chris Jericho, it’s Evolution’s Batista and Randy Orton taking on you, Chris, and a partner of his choosing, my question Chris is, after Triple H’s comment about you earlier, did you find a partner for tonight?
Y2J: Terri, let me ask you something, does the Sexy Beast really need a partner? When facing two assclowns like the pretty boy Randy Orton and the Meat Head Batista, does one really need a partner? Hell I was the first ever Undisputed Champion, it doesn’t take that much skill to fool a couple puppets. That’s all Batista and Orton are, they are puppets all controlled by the snotty sleazy hands of Triple H! Triple H cares only about himself, but what happens when things don’t go his way? Well, we all seemed to get a taste last week, when I made his Game playing ass submit to the Walls of Jericho! Well, to answer your question Terri, I did find a partner, and yes, Triple H’s plans will be foiled, yet again, at the hands of the Ayatollah of Rock N’ Rollah! Chris Jericho!

King: JR, take a good look at greatness, because that is what is coming down that ramp, Evolution! Triple H has built one of the most dominant, historical, and fashionable stable we have ever seen here in the WWE and I personally think it’s great!
JR: King, we all know that is a bunch of poppy cock! Evolution is dominant, but they don’t do it the proper way! They get their way and win matches simply by manipulation and intimidation, I don’t know about you but I wouldn’t want to meet any member of Evolution in a dark alley on a hot day in Oklahoma City King!
King: Oh you don’t have to worry about that JR, Evolution wouldn’t go anywhere near that crappy town, they live life in the fast lane, they are paid, laid, and made, just like their t-shirts say!
Chris Jericho’s music hits as Y2J comes down the ramp.
Y2J: Cut the music monkeys! Triple H, tonight, will be the downfall of your little jerking circle you got going on in the ring there, because I would like to introduce you to my partner for tonight…
Shawn Michaels’ music hits as the Heart Break Kid comes out of the gate.
JR: Why, that’s Shawn Michaels King! Triple H and Ric Flair thought they got rid of Michaels earlier tonight, but Jericho was right, Triple H’s plans folded once again, it’s HBK and Y2J taking on Evolution!
King: JR, do you really think Y2J and that has been can take down two bright young stars such as Randy Orton and Batista? I don’t think so!

WINNER: Y2J and HBK
JR: What an ending King, that was a great tag team match with Y2J once again getting the best of Triple H and his top guys, with a little help from the showstopper.
King: JR, I can’t stand this anymore, Y2J isn’t in the Game’s league!
