WWE Raw presents
Raw's 3 Hour Spectacular!
Pyros go off as the Raw theme song hits.
JR: Welcome everyone to a very historic night! For the first time in WWE history, Raw comes to you LIVE for the next 3 Hours! That’s right, it’s a super sized Raw tonight from Chicago, IL! Thank you for inviting us into your homes, it’s Good Ol’ JR Jim Ross and Jerry the King Lawler here ringside and boy what an atmosphere we have in the Allstate Arena here tonight King!
King: Oh yea JR, we are sold out here in the Windy City, the fans are electric and there’s no reason why they shouldn’t! We have a PPV quality card here tonight, all headlined by Triple H defending his World Heavyweight Championship against Chris Jericho, Ric Flair, and Shawn Michaels in a Fatal Four Way match!
JR: That match sure has gotten the attention for sure King, but also tonight, will Eric Bischoff’s Big Red Machine finally finish the job? Kane battles Goldberg in a steel cage right here tonight! Goldberg has been undefeated ever since gracing a WWE ring, can he continue his dominance?
Jeff Hardy’s music hits as Raw’s Daredevil comes out of the gate.
JR: Well here he comes, Rockstar Reception and all, the number one contender for the WWE Intercontinental Championship is coming down the ramp, that’s right, its Jeff Hardy!
King: The Ladder match may be Jeff’s specialty, but let’s not forget, Captain Charisma, Christian sure has a history in ladder matches as well, and if my memory serves me correctly, Christian has racked up more victories than Hardy in this stipulation match.
Christian’s music hits as the WWE Intercontinental Champion comes down the ramp.
King: Here’s the man JR, the Intercontinental Champion Captain Charisma is here.
JR: How you can admire someone as maniacal as Christian is beyond me, he cheats, he uses under handed tactics, and isn’t that great of an individual if you ask me.
King: Well JR, your personality doesn’t matter in this business, it’s all about the W’s and the L’s. I am sure Christian will get the W in this match and Jeff, well, you can probably presume what he will get…

The Dudley Boys’ music hits as Bubba Ray and Devon come down the ramp.

Tonight it’s almost like the Dudley Boys have to win them back because if they don’t they are officially lost to 3 Minute Warning here tonight.
JR: That’s right King, if Bubba and Devon can’t get the job done, they will officially lose their belts right here tonight!

King: Just ask the Dudley Boys about that JR!

BACKSTAGE:
Coach in the parking lot among a large group of medics surrounding Jeff Hardy
Coach: That’s right JR, this must have happened around a couple moments ago, it was reported Jeff Hardy being laid out by a hooded man. Jeff Hardy just won his Intercontinental Championship from Christian earlier tonight and was headed out until he was supposedly ambushed.
Jeff Hardy gets put on a stretcher and put into the ambulance.
Coach: Witnesses says it was pretty nasty. As far as we know it was a hooded character, whoever this is they wanted to make sure nobody knew who they were. JR, King, I will be sure to keep you informed on this as updates become available.
JR: Well thanks Coach, we will be waiting, but how ironic, first Christian gets taken off in an ambulance, and now Hardy? Coincidence or not, I am not sure.
King: Well JR, we know one thing for sure, it wasn’t Christian, he is in the hospital, but who can it be?

BACKSTAGE:
Terri is backstage with the Animal Batista
Terri: I am standing here with the Animal Batista. Tonight Batista, your two mentors collide in the Fatal Four Way match along with Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho. Now last week on Raw, you chased Chris Jericho out of the arena, in some views, you abandoned Triple H…
Batista: Hey, let’s get this straight, last week I didn’t abandon anyone. I saved Triple H. Chris Jericho is more of a threat than HBK and Flair combined, so in order for Triple H to sail through that match, Jericho needed to be taken out, so I got his ass out of there.
Terri: Valid point taken, but who do you see emerging out of the Fatal Four Way with the World Heavyweight Championship?
Batista: Well Terri, I am not going to hide it. Main eventing Raw last Monday was a huge step in my career and it made me think what I am capable of, I am trying to think about Evolution less and think about Batista more, so my opinion on the title match tonight, I couldn’t care less. I mean it’s a 50% chance Evolution will come out on top and last time I checked, it’s pretty good odds. So Terri, I got to go help the Game get ready, but my word is my bond, everyone in Evolution is making headlines, and it’s about time the Animal does the same…
Still to come on Raw's 3 Hour Spectacular!
