Things are about to Kliq
Raw once again opens with The Kliq making their way down to the ring. Triple H would talk about how the ever since last Monday Night, his life has took a bit of a hit. He talks about how he was given a choice, he was told that he had to stop hanging around his boys, or else. How he didn't like being told what to do, he didn't like being bossed around. So that's why you see him here with his boys tonight, and he said he doesn't regret it. Scott Hal just says that only a bitch would make someone choose between them, and his boys. Nash just shakes his head and says that Hunter will be a lot happier now that he's free to hit the town with his boys any time he wants, and that they are plenty of women out there who would love to play the game. They then turn their attention to Jericho, who Nash and Hall are fighting in a tag match tonight, with a partner of Jericho's choice.

Nick Dinsmore vs Funaki
Yeah, this match sucked, it was bad, just bad bad. I'm sure fans turned the TV off at this point. Nick Dinsmore defeated Funaki in 6:02 by pinfall with a German Suplex.
Rating: E
Goldberg vs Bobby Lashley
Well, yeah a Goldberg match this early, you read that right. I bet you thought that this would be when the streak that Bobby Lashley had would end right? Yeah, well guess what? The match, it was pretty decent, they really was having a match that got the crowd a little bit a live, but in the end guess what? Bobby Lashley defeated Bill Goldberg in 15:17 by pinfall.

Hogan has some words, BROTHER.
So Hogan comes out to the ring and talks about John Cena, talks about how he will make John Cena his last victim here in the WWE, and then he's going to get away from all these fans out here who don't deserve to see him. He said he can't wait to get back to his gated community, with people just like him.

Matt Sydal vs Hector Garza
Well, this match was not great, wasn't bad, but wasn't great. They didn't really click together, and it showed. But in the end Matt Sydal got his first when when he defeated Hector Garza in 11:44 by pinfall.

Too Cool vs Southern Hostility
This match didn't need to happen, Lance Cade is still hurt, and really should be at home but here he is, this match, which dragged it down.. But hey you know the end came when Southern Hostility defeated Too Cool in 8:45 when Bradshaw defeated Scotty Too Hotty by submission.

The Game, played.
We cut backstage to where Raw GM Stephanie McMahon books a match between Triple H and Chris Jericho at Bad Blood, for the WWE World Championship, and says if ANYONE interferes in the match, they will be FIRED on the spot. Also adding that Chris Jericho can win the match on a DQ.

THE GAME IS PISSED!
We then cut to Triple H's locker room where he is pissed, throwing his water bottle across the room and leaving.

CM Punk vs Billy Kidman
In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, CM Punk defeated Billy Kidman in a Two Out Of Three Falls match in 14:24 by two falls to one after losing the first, with the final fall happening by pinfall with a GTS.
Rating: C
Kevin Nash and Scott Hall VS Chris Jericho and Rob Van Dam
Jericho's partner ended up being RVD, and they worked really well together, and looked like that was going to win the match when X-Pac would come out and attack Jericho, leaving RVD by himself. Nash would then Powerbomb RVD and gets the win in 12:37
Rating: B
Suspended!!
After the match, Stephanie McMahon comes out on the stage, and says that what just happened is a disgrace. She said she mentioned if someone would get involved in Triple H's and Jericho's match at the PPV, they would be fired. She said that's not happening tonight, but that X-Pac has now been suspended until further noticed, and STRIPPED of the Cruiserweight Title.
Rating: C-
John Cena vs Edge
This was a banger of a main event, that had the crowd hot and on their feet, but probably wasn't enough to save this really bad Raw, but at least it ends strong. The end of the match saw Edge defeated John Cena in 20:16 by pinfall with a Spear.,
