KANE AND THE ROCK VS. CHRIS JERICHO AND CARLITO

A fantastic match to start the show here. Kane and Jericho went at it for a few minutes in the early going, until Kane knocked Jericho down with a big boot and tagged in The Great One and the fans went wild. Rock nailed Jericho with a few clothelines, then threw him over to his corner to make a tag in to Carlito and waited in the ring impatiently. Carlito tagged himself in and ran right into the ring. He runs straight into a clotheline from The Rock, then gets right back up but begins getting nailed with some of Rock's trademark slaps to the face, then the final one that sends him flying over the top rope. Kane goes after Carlito on the outside, while Jericho runs into the ring and hits Rock with a forearm smash to the back of the head. He then tries to lock in the Walls of Jericho but Rock turns it into a small package for the 1...2...kick out! Meanwhile, on the outside, Carlito has just smashed Kane's head right into the steel steps. He enters the ring once again while The Rock has Jericho up for the Rock Bottom which he nails to perfection! He then covers Jericho 1...2...Carlito pulls Rock's foot right off of Y2J. He picks him up by his hair and begins hammering him with right hands, but Rock explodes and reverses it with some right hands of his own. He then irish whips Carlito to the ropes and slams him down to the mat with a people's spinebuster. He runs to one side, then the other, as he goes for the people's elbow but Carlito moves right out of the way! He then waits for Rock to get back up and grabs him from behind with a school boy, grabbing the tights as the referee counts. Kane is up on the apron but Jericho dropkicks him right off as Hebner makes the count 1...2...3! Carlito runs right away from The Rock, afraid of the consequences.

MUHAMMAD HASSAN VS. BOOKER T

This bout didn't turn out to be as good as it was expected to be. Hassan lead the way through the entire matchup as he was cheered on by Daivari on the outside. Booker was able to take the offensive when he reverses a Hassan Flatliner attempt with a kick to the gut and a Bookend that only got a close two count. About nine minutes into the match, Booker T has set Hassan up for another Bookend. Hassan reverses it with an elbow to the side of the head of Booker T, and then a beautifully hit Flatliner. He then crawls on top of Booker T from behind and grabs him tight for the Camel Clutch. Booker T desperately tries to get to the ropes but is unable to, and finally taps out. Hassan and Daivari celebrate in the middle of the ring with their arms raised up high in the air.

KENZO SUZUKI AND EDGE VS. SHAWN MICHAELS AND RVD

Pretty nice bout here between these two great tag teams. Michaels and RVD worked incredibly well together, while Suzuki made his official debut on pay per view for the raw brand. Jim Cornette worked as a perfect distraction to Van Dam, allowing for Suzuki to almost get the pin on him with the Faceclaw STO, which RVD kicked out of it at two. Edge also nailed Van Dam with an Edgecution, but Mr. Monday Night kicked out of that too and miraculously tagged out to his partner Shawn Michaels. HBK runs right into the ring and begins nailing Kenzo Suzuki over the head with some right hands, which force Kenzo to tag out to Edge. Edge runs into the ring and misses a spear, landing on the second turnbuckle, with HBK nailing him with a backdrop but only getting a close two count. RVD takes Suzuki out on the outside, while HBK is setting up in the corner for the Sweet Chin Music. Edge gets right back up and HBK slowly makes his way towards hm to hit the SCM, but Edge gets a surprise Spear in and grabs the three count! Edge and Suzuki run out of the ring as HBK is left standing in the middle of the ring. RVD chases them out of the ring with a steel chair and helps Michaels up. Michaels then quickly grabs the chair and taunts Edge and Suzuki from the outside. He turns back around and VAN DAMINATOR ON MICHAELS, RIGHT ON THE STEEL CHAIR! RVD stands over Michaels with a sadistic look in his face.

CHRIS BENOIT VS. EDDIE GUERRERO

This was by far the best quality match of the night. Eddie and Benoit went at it for about a minute, predicting each other's moves and anticipating what the other would do before they even started to do it. Eddie the ngained the upper hand with some stiff kicks to the groin area and a trifecta of suplexes that almost put Benoit out for good. The match went back and forth for about seven minutes, before Eddie could grab control of this bout with a very nicely executed dropkick to the knees. He then locked in the El Passo Lasso but only to get reversed and thrown outside the ring by his former best friend. Eddie then runs right back into the ring and gives Benoit a hurricanrana, which he actually reverses into a powerbomb and a pin manover that only gets a close two count. The match continues to go back and forth for the next five minutes, until Benoit tries to grab Eddie down for a crippler crossface but is unable to as Eddie rolls out of the way. Eddie gets back up but gets kicked in the gut by Benoit, who tries to get him up for a german suplex, but Eddie pushes him into the referee, knocking him out. Benoit's checking on Jimmy Korderas in the corner, while Eddie tries to give Benoit a low blow, but gets caught right in the face by an elbow smash, and a trifecta of German Suplexes. Benoit then climbs all the way over to the top rope and is looking to hit a swandive headbutt, which he nails perfectly! He crawls over Eddie until all of a sudden Christian makes his way down to the ring. He grabs a steel chair on the outside and nails Benoit over the head with it, putting Eddie on top of him and leaving the ring. The referee looks over and begins crawling to the scene while counting the 1.......2.......3! Christian walks off staring down Benoit as a promo of Unforgiven is played.

Todd Grisham: Kurt Angle.. In just a few moments, you take on the man that has humiliated you in the past few weeks on raw, inside and outside the ring, Shelton Benjamin. Let's see exactly what happened.

A video is played showing Shelton pinning Angle, mocking him, and eliminating him from the number one contendership battle royal on the first raw of the month.

Todd Grisham: Well.. Kurt.. Your thoughts?

Kurt Angle: My thoughts? I'll tell you what my THOUGHT is. There's only one, you see. I can't wait to get in that ring with Shelton Benjamin, Todd. You see, Shelton might get a fluke or two on me somewhere along the lines on raw, but this is where the real men survive. This is an ironman match, he gets to be in the ring with the greatest professional wrestler EVER for TWENTY.. MINUTES.. And Todd, there's not a doubt in my mind, that I'll make his ass TAP!

Kurt walks off as his music plays on the titantron.

KURT ANGLE VS. SHELTON BENJAMIN

Angle runs right through the ring and the match begins. After about 5 minutes, Angle and Shelton had locked up in a great technical bout, but Shelton was able to superkick Angle quickly to get a first fall.

SCORE: SHELTON - 1 KURT - 0

Shelton waits for Angle to get up again for another superkick, which might be a great strategy to get him a second fall.

The two continue to brawl for the next three minutes, until Shelton grabs Angle up for his own Angle Slam and nails him right down to the mat, getting the three count.

SCORE: SHELTON - 2 KURT - 1

15 minutes into the match, and Shelton is looking like he's in good position. He keeps Angle from getting a pin for about a minute and a half, but then gets another superkick reversed into an ankle lock! Angle keeps twisting and turning, Shelton tries to hang on. He looks over at the big clock on the screen that says 17:03, only three minutes to go. Angle pulls Shelton back away from the ropes and Benjamin is forced to tap out.

RANDY ORTON VS. BATISTA VS. THE UNDERTAKER

This wasen't quite as great as the last few matches that we've seen. Taker started taking control of this bout early on as he hammered Orton down to the concrete on the outside with a chokeslam and entered the ring to face off with the animal, Batista. The two brawled for the next three minutes without any sign of Orton, until all of a sudden it seemed as if Taker was ready to hit the tombstone on Batista. He was about to get him up, but Orton ran right through the ring and nailed Undertaker with an RKO! He covers him 1...2...Batista breaks up the count. Batista and Orton now finally begin brawling, and Batista certainly wants some revenge on Orton, but Randy takes advantage of the injured arm Batista got from smackdown with an armbar and a leg drop right on that elbow. Orton and Batista then brawl for about two minutes, before The Undertaker could get back up and grab both men by their necks in chokeslam positions. He nails them both and crawls over to Batista 1...2...kick out! He then crawls over to Orton 1...2...kick out! Taker grabs Orton up and nails him with a tombstone, as Batista looks on but he was playing possum. He gets right up and clothelines The Undertaker, throwing him right outside of the ring over the top rope. He then picks Orton up and kicks him in the gut, nailing him down to the mat with a sitout powerbomb! As he covers 1...2...3! Batista celebrates in the middle of the ring with the world heavyweight championship raised up high in the air.

JOHN CENA VS. TRIPLE H

Best match of the night right here, although not by much. The perfect way to end a wonderful event. The crowd reacted incredibly to this bout. Ric Flair played his role early on in the match trying to distract John Cena and help Triple H grab the win. Triple H almost grabbed the win and the belt with a high knee drop which Cena kicked out of at the two. The Game then picks Cena up by his hair and begins nailing him over the head with some hard right hands, forcing him int othe turnbuckle. He then irish whips him to the opposite turnbuckle but gets hit right in the face by a high boot by Cena. The Docta of Thuganomics then runs towards Triple H and nails him with a bulldog for another close two count. He runs to the ropes and brushes off his shoulders to nail Triple H with a five knuckle shuffle! Flair is up on the apron, and Cena just grabs him and throws him into the ring with the fans going wild. He grabs him up on his shoulders and tries to nail the FU with the crowd way behind him, but Triple H is right back up. He kicks Cena in the gut and puts his head between his legs, hooking his arms and looking at each side of the crowd as he nails The Pedigree! Flair is looking on with a smile, as Triple H turns Cea around and hooks the far leg for the count of 1...2...shoulder up! The Game can't believe it, as he begins telling Earl Hebner that he made the wrong count. Cena comes up from behind and grabs him for a school boy 1...2...kick out! Cena nails Triple H down with a right hand, Flair runs towards Cena but the docta ducks and makes Flair nail Triple H with a clotheline. Cena grabs 'Naitch by the hair and throws him over the top rope to the outside. The crowd is pumped, as Cena begins pumping up his shoes and waits for The Game to get back up. Triple H gets right back up to his feet and Cena is able to grab him up on his shoulders and taunt Flair in the middle of the ring while nailing Triple H right to the mat with an FU! Cena covers 1...2...3! Cena retains the title and walks off in joy. Triple H is left standing in the ring with Earl Hebner helping him out. The Game then suddenly snaps and kicks Hebner in the gut, dropping him to the mat with a Pedigree! The cameras are zooming in on Triple H's angry expression as he turns into a psychotic individual and destroys Earl Hebner.

Mikey Whipwreck and Tajiri vs. The Bashams vs. Chavo and Rene vs. Hurricane and Rosey

A great matchup between four of the premier tag teams of raw. Doug Basham started out in the ring with Tajiri, and almost eliminated the Japanese Buzzsaw with one of his switch things with Danny. Whipwreck caught on and gave Danny Basham a whippersnapper before he could get into the ring, while Tajiri kicked Doug right in the face, causing his elimination with a three count. Chavo runs right into the ring but gets caught in the face with a superkick as well 1...2...kick out! Rosey tags himself in and begins beating the hell out of Chavo Guerrero. He splashes on top of him and once again almost gets a three count. Chavo is able to tag out to his partner Dupree. Rene enters the ring and begins trying to nail Rosey with some right hands, but is unable to knock the big man down. He then runs to the ropes and tries to clotheline him down but gets caught in mid air with a black hole slam type manover, as Rosey covers 1...2...3! Chavo and Rene have been eliminated. Now Mikey Whipwreck is back into the ring as he begins nailing Rosey over the head with some right hands and then a vicious dropkick that sends the big man to the ground. After the two teams battle it out for about six minutes, Tajiri walks into the ring and gives Rosey a superkick, allowing for Whipwreck to hit the Whippersnapper on Hurricane and hooking the far leg for the 1...2...3!

SINGLES MATCH

Edge vs. Rob Van Dam

Definitely the match that stole the show here. RVD took control of the early going as he tried to get his revenge on Edge for screwing him out of his bout with Kenzo Suzuki last week. He begins nailing him over the head with some stiff forearm smashes, until he is able to get Edge down with a spinning heel kick. He hits the rolling thunder and goes for the pin but only gets a close two count. Van Dam picks Edge up by his hair and scoop slams him to the ground, hitting a rolling leg drop on him this time. He then sets Edge up near the turnbuckle and hits a split legged moonsault that once again only gets a close two count. Now Edge is up on his feet and trying to fight back, but Van Dam superkicks him to the ground and catapults himself over to the top turnbuckle. He jumps off and nails Edge with a five star frog splash! All of a sudden Kenzo Suzuki is seen running down the entrance ramp. He slides into the ring and begins attacking RVD incredibly. He gives him the Faceclaw STO and knocks him straight out, waiting for Edge to get up and allowing him to knock Van Dam down as well with a vicious spear! Suzuki, Edge and Jim Cornette walk off with big smiles on their faces.

SINGLES MATCH

Kenzo Suzuki vs. Rob Van Dam

This was a rematch from last week's dissapointing loss for Van Dam. Cornette was a ringside with his new client, Kenzo Suzuki and he worked extremely well as a distraction to RVD for most of this bout. Suzuki held the upper hand throughout by keeping RVD in control with some pretty mat based style of wrestling and some submission manovers that looked like they might've ended the match at some points. RVD was able to turn the tables around on Suzuki with a spinning heel kick and a rolling thunder for a close two count. He then catapulted himself from the top turnbuckle for a split legged moonsault that once again got a close two count. RVD then waited for Kenzo to get back up and went for another spinning heel kick, but nailed the referee instead by accident!

Kid Kash vs. Paul London

This was probably the best quality match of the night. Kid Kash showed some impressive work with some of his indy background. He took advantage of the matchup over Paul London early on using some mat base style of wrestling, which we usually don't see from cruiserweights. He also has a clear size advantage over London, which allowed him to almost score a pinfall with a double arm suplex he connected with. Paul London then takes the momentum and turns it around with an enzuiguiri which gets a close two count. London then grabs Kid Kash up by the neck and looks to suplex him, but then sets him up on the top turnbuckle instead. He climbs up to the second turnbuckle and gets Kid Kash down with a superplex! He stares but doesn't go for the cover. He jumps up to the top turnbuckle and nails Kid Kash with the 450 splash and covers 1...2...3! Both men back up to their feet, London offers Kid Kash a handshake, which he accepts, but then viciously gives London a low blow and leaves him on the ground, as he exits out the entrance ramp.
