WWE Smackdown

November 6, 2003

Smackdown's music and video begin playing on the tron and on all your TV's. Then once the video finishes up. Huge pyro goes off on the Smackdown set and finishes with Undertaker's music kicking up and Sean O'Haire comes out from behind the curtain and then is followed by Taker walking out behind him. The crowd is going nuts for both men as the opening match begins!

Undertaker/Sean O'Haire vs Team Angle

WWE Tag Team Championship

Taker and O'Haire make their way down to the ring as the crowd cheers them on. Once both men get to the ring "Medal" Hits and Team Angle comes walking out from behind the curtain with the WWE Tag Team Championships around their waists. They make their way down to the ring. Taker steps out of the ring into his team's corner. O'Haire will start the match in the ring with Haas. O'Haire and Haas lock up with O'Haire backing Haas into a neutral corner. O'Haire begins ramming side knee after side knee into the gut of Haas. O'Haire whips Haas across the ring and follows him in with a splash clothesline. O'Haire then picks Haas up into a body slam position, resting on his shoulder. O'Haire makes the tag out to Taker who comes in and they hit a Diamond Cutter Double Team Variation on Haas! What a great double Team move! Taker covers Haas as Benjamin gets in the ring..1...2...Benjamin breaks it up before three. Taker gets to his feet and goes after Benjamin before he can get out of the ring.

This opening Title match breaks down from here as Taker begins beating on Benjamin while O'Haire gets into the ring and begins to beat down Haas. O'Haire winds up throwing Haas over the top rope. Taker and O'Haire from here begin a double team beatdown on Benjamin, until Haas slides back into the ring and clocks O'Haire and Taker with one of the Tag Team Championships in the head! Haas obviously didn't want this match to go long as the Champs looked to be in trouble. Haas and Benjamin quickly exit with their titles while in the ring. Taker makes threats to both of them! We cut backstage at this point

(Winners by DQ: O'Haire and Undertaker)(Still WWE Tag Team Champions: Team Angle)

Psicosis/Christopher Daniels vs Ultimo Dragon/Rey Mysterio

Christopher Daniels comes out from behind the curtain as his music plays. He walks to the ring in his preacher garb. He walks up the ringsteps and derobes. He then climbs into the ring and awaits for his partner to come out which is..Psicosis! Psicosis comes walking to the ring after stepping through the curtain with the WWE Cruiserweight Championship around his waist. He stalks down to the ring and rolls under the bottom rope. Then Ultimo Dragon's fire begins to spew from the set. Ultimo stands just outside the ring and Mysterio's music hits and he catapaults out of the floor and lands on his feet perfectly. The crowd as always is very into Mysterio as he walks to the ring. Psicosis again taunts Mysterio and Ultimo with the Title in the ring. Daniels is standing beside him. Mysterio and Ultimo leap onto the ring apron and springboard into the ring from there. Ultimo doing a springboard cross body to Daniels. Mysterio a springboard dropkick to Psicosis. Both Daniels and Psicosis roll out of the ring. The bell sounds as Daniels rolls back into the ring and locks up with Mysterio to start the match.

Mysterio dropkicks Daniels in the back and then tags Ultimo in. Ultimo climbs into the ring and whips Daniels to a neutral corner. Ultimo comes in for a hard side elbow. Ultimo then whips Daniels across the ring and follows him in again but Daniels does a sit up onto the top rope. Ultimo runs straight into the corner hard and Daniels goes from a sitting position to standing in a quick movement. Then Daniels hits a big suicide corkscrew from the top rope into Ultimo.

Daniels tags out to Psicosis and Ultimo tags out to Mysterio at the same time. Mysterio dropkicks Psicosis down. Both men get up and Psicosis dropkicks Mysterio down! Psicosis then backs Mysterio into the ropes and whips him across the ring. Psicosis hits a rolling kick on Mysterio and then Psicosis stands in wait and goes for a Psycho Stunner on Mysterio! Mysterio pushes Psicosis off, right into Ultimo's DDT Finisher!!! Mysterio quickly covers Psicosis while Ultimo takes Daniels back out so that Mysterio can get the cover..1...2....3! Ultimo Dragon did the damage and Mysterio gets the victory for his team!!! After the match though. Daniels hits a double low blow and hits the "Last Rites" on both men and then Psicosis takes his turn hitting Psycho Stunners on both men as well.

Spanky vs Chris Sabin

We're introduced to Chris Sabin for the first time on Smackdown tonight.

Sabin steals the victory but after the match as Spanky gets up and complains to the referee. He gets nailed with a Future Shock from Sabin to punctuate his first win on Smackdown!

AJ Styles and Matt Hardy Version 1.0 vs Sabu and Rhyno

I'm afraid in this match I won't give away much at all either because i'm saving all the good stuff for Survivor Series. This is your basic tag match with all four men hitting their signature moves and Hardy winding up hitting a Twist of Fate on Sabu and is able to pick up the victory. I hate to cut your matches short on Smackdown but War Games is going to have alot and I don't want to give you all matches much before the Big One. So Styles and Hardy win this match over Sabu and Rhyno. Hardy with the Twist of Fate. Does this hint at a Matt Hardy Version 1.0 WWE Championship win at War Games? Only time will tell about that!

"Medal" hits and Kurt Angle comes sauntering out from behind the curtain and out towards the middle of the aisle. He points to the sky and his red, white and blue pyro goes off behind him. Angle gets into the ring after this and as we see our usual Exceptional Angle vs Benoit match. All the major suplexes and moves. Including a missed Suicide Headbutt from Benoit and a Missed Moonsault from Angle. The match ends when Benoit manages to reverse an Angle Slam into a Crippler Crossface and Angle can't find a way to reverse out of it and winds up tapping out. As Angle is tapping and in between the time the bell sounds and Benoit letting go. Which is about 15 seconds. AJ Styles with a chair runs down to the ring and waits for Benoit to turn around..CRACK Styles lays out Benoit and raises his arms over himself and Angle as if he took down both of them after a hard fought match or something! He picked on a prone Chris Benoit after he'd fought his heart out against Angle!

Sunday Night Heat

November 9, 2003

Shark Boy defeats Jody Fleisch in a spectacular match which definately needs to be duplicated at an event that will give them more time. After the match Fleisch gets some retribution by hitting his Pheonix 720 DDT on Shark Boy after the match! 85(82,89)***3/4

Jeff Hardy defeats Kid Kash with a Swanton Bomb and follows it up after the match with a Swanton Bomb with a chair on Kash! The fans weren't nearly into this match as much as the last because of how good the previous match was. 53(40,67)3/4*

Tommy Dreamer defeats Lance Storm with a Dreamer Driver after another really good match. RAW is really outdoing Smackdown tonight so far with two really good matches. Lance Storm knocks Dreamer out after the match with a beautiful Superkick! 78(73,83)***

Nunzio defeats Paul London in a match that was just as good as the last match from RAW. At least Smackdown is making improvements here. London puts up a great fight but falls to the Sicilian Crab from Nunzio for the submission victory 82(78,86)***1/4

Cyclone defeats William Regal with a CycloneBomb but after the match the lights go out and when they come up Mortis is standing behind Cyclone and Cyclone turns right into the Mortality! (Flatliner) and the lights go back out as Mortis stands over him and when the lights come back on. Cyclone is left down in the ring. He definately won't be happy tommorrow! How will the Superheros combat this Supervillain!! 78(75,81)**3/4

Billy Kidman defeats Nova cheaply by hitting a slingshot into an exposed ring turnbuckle that had been exposed during the match. Kidman then rolled Nova up easily for the 1..2...3! 70(62,78)**1/4

The Rock and Christian battled it out for 10 minutes before The Rock made Christian tap out to the Sharpshooter. It was a great match and perhaps a preview of War Games..alas only if Christian and his Peeps were involved in that match. But they're not so no reason to dwell. After the match though Christian takes a pot shot at Rock by hitting the Unprettier on Rock! 85(89,77)**3/4

Sean O'Haire manages to beat Christopher Daniels in a match that was almost as good as the Rock vs Christian Match. O'Haire hits the Prophecy to gain the victory over Daniels. After the match though Daniels hits a Last Rites on O'Haire. What's with all the after match attacks on Heat! Sheesh save it for RAW guys. 84(83,86)***1/2

Pyro begins exploding as we cut immediately to the ring tonight as we have a night of action and no time to waste. Immediately the Dudley Boys theme kicks in and their pyro begins going off on the stage. After the pyro finishes up the Dudleys come walking out onto the stage, pumped up but flipping the crowd off at the same time. The World Tag Team Titles in their possession.

Bubba Ray Dudley vs Fury

Once the Dudleys are to the ring. Kane's Chemical Brothers theme hits and after the pyro explodes. Fury comes stalking out from behind the curtain and onto the stage with Mayhem by his side. Obviously this will be a one on one match with support on the outside! Fury makes his way to the ring with Mayhem by his side. Fury rolls into the ring and the bell sounds. Bubba locks up with Fury and begins to smash down smacks across the chest and fists to the head. Bubba then whips Fury to the ropes. Bubba hits a big back body drop on Fury. Then continues going to town on him with a hard beating. Bubba whips Fury to the ropes again and telegraphs another back body drop and Fury stops short and drops Bubba with a huge ddt and covers him..1....2..kickout! Fury backs towards the ropes but D-Von grabs Fury's foot before he can run back at Bubba. Fury kicks D-Von off and runs at Bubba but by now Bubba has gotten up and hits a Desperation Bubba Cutter on Fury and both men stay down as Nick Patrick begins the 10 count..1....2.....3....4....5...Both men begin to stir at 5...6.....7....8....Fury is up at this point. On the outside of the ring Mayhem has gone over and began fighting with D-Von Dudley.

Bubba is up and goes for his punches and then the Bionic Elbow but Fury blocks it and hits the Death Driver suddenly on Bubba and covers him..1...2.....3!! Fury gets a huge victory over Bubba Ray Dudley! D-Von throws Mayhem into the steel steps hard at the same time as the pinfall happens. D-Von slides into the ring and sends Fury for a loop from a huge clothesline. Bubba gets up slowly in the ring as D-Von goes to the outside and gets a table. D-Von brings the table into the ring and slides it under the bottom rope. D-Von sets the table up in the ring as Bubba begins pounding on Fury again. Bubba then whips Fury to the ropes and as he comes back towards Bubba. D-Von gets in the way as Bubba moves to the other side of the table...3D THROUGH THE TABLE! Mayhem rolls into the ring to help Fury but only receives a 3D from the Dudleys for his trouble. The Dudleys leave the ring and celebrate but will they be celebrating Sunday!

Backstage Shawn Michaels is preparing to come out to the ring. HBK's music hits and Shawn walks up the stairs and out onto the ramp doing his normal intro. He drops to his knees and prays to the sky as his pyro goes off behind him. HBK gets to the ring and then as Shawn grabs a microphone the lights go down TIME TO PLAY THE GAME! and it's repeated as the strobes go off and Triple H stalks down to the ring. HHH climbs into the ring and immediately starts a fight with HBK

HHH begins slugging it to HBK and whips him to a corner of the ring. HBK does his classic roll up the turnbuckle and then comes back down off it and staggers back towards Triple H. HHH goes for the Pedigree but Shawn back drops him to the mat and sets up for a Sweet Chin Music! HBK goes for the Sweet Chin Music out of the corner but HHH catches it and spins HBK around. PEDIGREE!!! Triple H then goes out of the ring and grabs a chair from ringside. HHH then rolls back into the ring with it and waits for HBK to get up..CRACK. Shawn's head makes a sickening thud against the chair. No protection on that shot. HHH then throws the chair down flat and picks Shawn up. HHH then sets him up..no not a Pedigree on the chair! But That's EXACTLY what HBK Gets. A NASTY PEDIGREE onto the steel chair which seems to make Shawn go limp. HHH laughs down on HBK and tells him that he'll see him Sunday. Shawn appears to be bleeding from his head and is just about unconcious as well. We go to commercial with medics coming out and helping HBK.

Booker T vs Goldust

Goldust's music hits and he comes out first and while he comes to the ring we see footage on TV..not in the arena but on TV of HBK being helped to the back and into the medical examination room in the back. Then we come back to the ring with Goldust in it and waiting as Booker T's music hits and Booker comes out onto the stage and walks down the ramp half way. Then does his pyro pose and the flames begin flying up into the air. Booker walks to the ring and up the ringsteps. He steps into the ring and this match is pretty much the solid match we've come to expect from both of these men. It's a short match though. Only about five minutes with Booker T picking up the victory with a Book End. Booker T walks back up the steel ramp before Goldust can get any retribution or try to hurt him. No War Games for Goldy! Sorry!

Kane vs Rob Van Dam

Rob Van Dam's music hits first after the commercial break and he comes walking out after his pyro goes off. The crowd boos him unmercifully and he just ignores it and makes his way to the ring.

Then Kane's music hits as his pyro goes off and he comes walking out onto the stage to a huge ovation. Kane walks down to the ring and climbs onto the apron and over the top rope. RVD wastes little time in attacking Kane with a variety of dropkicks and rolling kicks to try and take down the monster.

RVD gets his feet on the second rope..1..2....3! RVD Steals a victory as Kane was trying to kick out but RVD had the leverage. RVD then goes outside the ring and grabs a Steel chair.

Christian vs Jay Lethal vs The Rock

Non-Title Match

Jay Lethal the champion comes out first only cause it's a Triple Threat non Title match and Lethal is the newest of the three guys so he comes to the ring first. The crowd cheers him with one of the loudest ovations of the night. He gets into the ring and then The Rock's music hits and Rock comes walking out onto the stage and down to the ring. Rock does his complete normal entrance and the crowd as normal, eats it up. Then Christian's music hits and Christian comes strutting out onto the stage and plays to the crowd which boo him unmercifully.

Lethal gets up quicker than Rock and hits a beautiful dropkick on Rock to take him down. Lethal then pounces on Christian for the cover..1..2...Christian gets a shoulder up as he had a moment to rest. Lethal gets to his feet and turns around into an angry Rock.

Christian looks to be frustrated as he picks Lethal up and goes for the Unprettier but is pushed off to the ropes and Lethal goes down to the mat. The Rock is up by now and nails a HUGE spinebuster on Christian. Lethal rolls out of the way as Christian hits the mat. Otherwise Lethal would've been flattened by Christian.

Chris Jericho makes his way out onto the stage as the lights are down and his pyro goes off on the stage. The lights come back up with Jericho doing his pose on the stage with the World Heavyweight Championship around his waist. Jericho then makes his way down to the ring and does his normal entrance. Earl Hebner is the referee for this perticular match. Jericho gets into the ring and hands the belt to Hebner whom then tries to take it over to the ring announcer's side of the ring to be moved out of the ring but Cena grabs it and shines it up. Then he Tells Jericho this belt is coming home with this mack daddy on Sunday. Jericho then proceeds to show Cena with great exuberance that he does not feel the same way. He does this by hitting a flying forearm to the head of Cena. Jericho then picks Cena up and levels him back to the mat three times in a row with just massive knifedge chops.

Benoit then climbs up the ringsteps and climbs into the ring. Once Benoit is in the ring, "Medal" Hits and Team Angle comes walking out from behind the curtain. The WWE Tag Team Titles around their waists as they come to the ring. Haas and Benjamin make their way down the aisle and finally get into the ring and hand the belts over to the referee. Benjamin will start with Rhyno as they lock up in the middle of the ring. Rhyno throws Benjamin back to his team's corner. Rhyno then charges in at Benjamin but he hits a drop toe hold on Rhyno down into the turnbuckles! Benjamin tags Haas in and they begin to double team Rhyno. Benjamin holds Rhyno in the corner while Haas lays some shots into Rhyno. Haas then whips Rhyno to the ropes and bends over for a back body drop. Rhyno kicks Haas in the chest and tags Benoit in. Benoit gets into the ring and GRABS RHYNO AND SLAPS ON THE CRIPPLER CROSSFACE WHAT THE HELL!?! Benoit is screaming the entire time he has it on Rhyno.."You won't get the chance to screw me Rhyno!" Apparently Benoit is a little paranoid about Sunday as he rears back and then finally after about 90 seconds he gets to his feet and picks Rhyno up. He hits a HUGE German Suplex on Rhyno and then Team Angle proceeds to his a Code Angle on Rhyno and Haas makes the cover..1...2...3! Team Angle Retains! Benoit grabs a microphone from ringside as Team Angle holds Rhyno for Benoit as he talks.

Benoit: You see Rhyno, You were going to screw me Sunday. Try and take the WWE Title from me. It's rightfully mine. So With the help of Haas and Benjamin here. We're going to make sure you never get to War Games!

Team Angle continues to beat on Rhyno while Benoit goes outside the ring and grabs a table from under the ring and slides it inside the ring. Benoit sets the table up as Team Angle sets Rhyno up for a Code Angle. Then Team Angle hits it STRAIGHT THROUGH THE TABLE!!! Rhyno is destroyed through the table and it's all because of Benoit turning on his partner!! What's gotten into him?

Eddie Guerrero vs The Undertaker

This match is unfortunately alot worse than it could've been. Taker decides to not sell at all and it's pretty damn obvious that he didn't want to put Eddie Guerrero over. Eddie Guerrero though does manage to pick up a huge victory over The Undertaker with a low blow when the referee isn't looking, followed up by a ddt and a Frog Splash followed by a pin. Eddie pulls Taker's tights as the referee counts a three count on Taker. After the match Eddie Guerrero celebrates and climbs to the second turnbuckle celebrating in one corner of the ring. Before he can get back down. Undertaker gets a bit of retribution with a huge Last Ride on Guerrero out of the corner! Taker spits on Guerrero after that and leaves the ring.

(Winner: Eddie Guerrero)(Undertaker was sluggish and didn't sell at all)

Ultimo Dragon vs Nunzio

This match was a truely exceptional Cruiserweight Match. Nunzio managed to control most of the match by keeping it a grounded match, using his technical skills to work over Ultimo's right arm until Ultimo gets some high impact offense including at the end of the match. Hitting his Swinging reverse DDT finisher on Nunzio but in the process kicked the referee in the face. Both men stay down a moment but then Psicosis comes running down to the ring with a chair and Ultimo covers Nunzio but no referee plus Psicosis driving the chair down across the back of Ultimo equals no pinfall. Psicosis then picks Ultimo up and hits a Psycho Stunner on him. He isn't finished either because then he sets the chair up in it's seated position. Psicosis then jumps over the chair hitting a Psycho Stunner on Ultimo ONTO The chair. Ultimo is completely laid out and Psicosis slides the chair out of the ring and leaves the ring himself.

The Brethren vs The Dudley Boys

World Tag Team Championship Match

Kane's Chemical Brothers music hits and his pyro goes off and The Brethren, Mayhem and Fury come walking to the ring in a very subdued fashion. They both climb into the ring with their matching Black and Red tanktop outfits with their masks of the same color. They climb into the ring and then fireworks are set off towards the saloon doors and goes right over them. The Dudleys Pyro begins exploding and the crowd boos them heavily as they come walking through the saloon doors and a graphic beneath them on the tron and PPV TV shows "The Dudley Boys" and just above that "World Tag Team Champions" D-Von is wearing his World Tag Title Belt around his waist while Bubba always being the black sheep of the family is wearing it around his neck. The Dudleys get to the ring and climb inside in their own ways and stand on the second turnbuckle with their Titles being held high. The Dudleys come off the turnbuckles and Fury leaves the ring to his team's corner. D-Von does the same and Nick Patrick holds the World Tag Team Championships above his head, showing them to the crowd.

Bubba moves in and locks up with Mayhem but powers him into a neutral corner and begins laying in those patented Bubba smacks to the chest which makes the crowd oooh's. Not a woo but oooh. Bubba does this three times and then pushes Mayhem over to the middle of the ropes and whips him to the other side of the ring and back body drops Mayhem to the mat hard. Bubba picks Mayhem up and backs into his corner with a headlock and D-Von tags in. D-Von begins with some hard fists to the head of Mayhem. Then he whips Mayhem to the ropes as Bubba leaves the ring to the outside of the apron. D-Von hits his flying back elbow on Mayhem. D-Von covers Mayhem for a long one count. If there is such a thing. D-Von picks Mayhem up and tries for a vertical suplex but Mayhem reverses it into a small package. ..1...2...kickout by D-Von! The Brethren nearly stole the World Tag Titles there! D-Von gets up faster than Mayhem and begins stomping the hell out of him. D-Von picks Mayhem up who ends up dropping D-Von with a sudden DDT which allows Mayhem to try and make his way to his team's corner. Mayhem manages to reach and make the tag to Fury as Bubba gets the tag in as well. Fury is a rage of fire for the first minute he's in the ring after the hot tag. Bubba finally regains some control after hitting a body slam on Fury and pointing to the sky. Mayhem tries to get involved but Nick Patrick stops him. The Dudleys take advantage of this and D-Von jumps off the top rope hitting the headbutt to Fury's groin.

D-Von gets up and does his spin around and Bubba smacks him in the chest and yells at him.."D-VON!!!!" The crowd even though the Dudleys are supposedly bad guys. They cheer for this. "GET THE TABLES!" D-Von climbs out of the ring to get the tables but inside the ring Fury is able to sneak up on Bubba and hits a Jawbreaker on Bubba.

Bubba turns back around after staggering a moment and The Brethren hits their "Straight to Hell" Spinebuster and Mayhem makes a cover as D-Von gets back into the ring with the table..1..2....D-Von breaks it up otherwise we would've had new Tag Team Champions! D-Von gets in the ring and clotheslines the hell out of Mayhem sending him for a loop as Patrick again gets Fury out of the ring. Bubba in the meantime while he's recovering. Sets the Table up and he gets behind it while D-Von whips Mayhem to the ropes..no Mayhem holds onto the ropes and slides outside of the ring. The Dudleys were going to 3D Mayhem through the table! Instead the Dudleys grab Fury from ringside and throw him over the ropes and into the ring. Mayhem gets up onto the apron but Bubba hits a hard punch to his jaw knocking him down. Then as Fury gets up, D-Von whips him to the ropes..3D THROUGH THE TABLE!!! The referee calls for the bell, disqualifying the Dudleys but Bubba tells D-Von to get another table!

D-Von goes outside the ring and grabs another table as Mayhem gets back into the ring. Bubba hits a Bubba Cutter on him as D-Von sets up the second table in a different spot. Then D-Von picks Mayhem up and whips him to the ropes and as he comes back at him. Lifts him up into the air and the 3D Through the table is hit again! The Dudley Boys music hits as they are handed their World Tag Team Titles.

Psicosis vs Ultimo Dragon

WWE Cruiserweight Championship Match

Ultimo Dragon is the first man to come out after the video package highlighting the feud between these two men. Ultimo's pyro begins to go off as he comes through the Saloon doors. Ultimo comes walking down to the ring while his fire pyro goes off in the background. Ultimo gets into the ring and as usual he's all business as he waits for Psicosis to arrive. Psicosis's music hits and he comes walking through the saloon doors with his WWE Cruiserweight Title over his shoulder. He walks to the ring talking smack the entire time.

Ultimo then picks Psicosis up and whips him into the steel steps hard. Ultimo riles the crowd up as he tells Psicosis that belt is coming with him. Ultimo walks over and snatches the belt up. In this time Psicosis grabs a weapon from under the ring. The weapon happens to be a fire extinguisher. Ultimo turns around to a PING and getting knocked silly by the Fire extinguisher. Psicosis then picks Ultimo up and rolls him into the ring and climbs into the ring himself without the fire extinguisher or Title. Then the bell sounds as the actual match begins and Psicosis covers Ultimo right off the bat..1..2....shoulder up by Ultimo! Psicosis seems to be frustrated he couldn't snatch away the win right there. Psicosis picks Ultimo up and whips him to the ropes. Psicosis goes for a hip toss but Ultimo blocks it and kicks Psicosis into the gut. Then puts his leg on the back of Psicosis's neck when he's bent over and Psicosis flips Ultimo over. Ultimo lands on his feet and hits a high angle back drop out of that flip on Psicosis. Ultimo then attempts an Asai Moonsault off the second rope inside the ring but Psicosis moves out of the way of the move.

Psicosis covers Ultimo after that move..1..2...kickout! Psicosis goes up top and waits for Ultimo to get up.

Both men answer the referee's ten count at about 8. Psicosis tries to slug Ultimo with a right hand but Ultimo blocks and hits an enziguri to the back of Psicosis's head suddenly! The crowd cheers as they see Ultimo go up top. Psicosis is trying to get to his feet but as Ultimo comes off the top rope with a Missle dropkick. PSICOSIS PULLS THE REFEREE IN THE WAY!!! As soon as the referee goes down Christopher Daniels in his preacher costume comes running down to the ring with a steel chair! Daniels gets into the ring and destroys the chair over the head of Ultimo Dragon!!! Psicosis then follows this up with a Psycho Stunner onto the flat steel chair! Dragon is out cold as Daniels leaves the ring with the chair and Psicosis wakes the referee up. The crowd is boo'ing intensely as Psicosis covers Ultimo..1...2.....3! Christopher Daniels climbs into the ring and pulls from within his robe, two pairs of handcuffs! Psicosis assists Daniels in handcuffing Ultimo to the ropes and Daniels gets on the mic..I love this part.

Daniels: Here before you is yet another man who sins with every breath he takes. His sin is Vanity! You ask why?! He hides his face because he feels nobody in this arena. All you people. You don't have the right to see his face. He feels he's better than all you. Therefore his sin is Vanity and the fitting punishment will now occur!

From here Daniels picks up the Steel Chair and completely destroys the chair and mangles it over Ultimo's head four consecutive times. Ultimo slumps against the ropes and blood trickles down through an eyehole of Ultimo's mask. Psicosis and Daniels raise their arms up into the air over Ultimo Dragon's bloodied body as we preview our next match!

Jay Lethal vs Christian

WWE Intercontinental Championship Match

After the feud is highlighted we come back to watching the Survivor Series set and finally Christian's music hits and Christian pushes the saloon doors open and walks slowly to the ring. As Christian walks to the ring to the boos from the crowd. J.R gives us a tidbit of information that shows us that throughout Christian's feud with Jay Lethal. He has never beaten Jay Lethal at all. No submissions, no pinfalls. Not good for the challenger at all. Christian climbs into the ring as J.R. is talking. Then Jay Lethal's music hits and Lethal comes through the swinging Saloon doors as his music and video play. The WWE Intercontinental Title around Lethal's waist as he walks to the ring. Lethal gets into the ring and he hands the Title over to Nick Patrick. The bell sounds and both men lock up in the center of the ring. Lethal takes control early, sinching in a headlock on Christian. Christian pushes Lethal off to the ropes which Lethal bounces off of and delivers a hard shoulder block to Christian but the bigger Christian delivers a harder one! Christian then takes to the ropes and Lethal flips onto his stomach as Christian runs over him once. Lethal then gets to his feet and leapfrogs Christian the second time past. Christian comes past a third time and Lethal leaps for the leapfrog but Christian stops right behind him for a huge reverse DDT! Christian covers Lethal quickly..1...2...kickout! Christian picks Lethal up and whips him into a corner. Christian begins chopping and punching the life out of Lethal in that corner. As well as some nicely placed boots to the midsection. Christian then whips Lethal to the opposite corner and Christian poses for the crowd and then follows Lethal in. Shouldn't have posed Christian

As Christian runs in at Lethal, Lethal took advantage of the quick moment of recooperation and dodges the incoming Christian. Christian hits the corner chest first and Lethal moves back into the corner and does an odd move to Christian. It's a Half spear but then Lethal drives up with it and turns it into a running spinebuster of sorts! Tremendous innovative Offense from Lethal! He covers Christian after the move..1...2...kickout! Lethal picks Christian up and whips him to the ropes. Lethal hits a Tilt-A Whirl REVERSE DDT! That's incredible by Lethal!! Lethal covers Christian again...1..2....kickout by Christian again! Lethal slows down the match a bit as he throws an armbar submission onto Christian's right arm. Lethal holds the submission for about two minutes of Christian's writhing in pain and trying to reverse the hold. Eventully Lethal lets go but holds onto the arm. Lethal begins hitting elbow drops and leg drops onto the arm, working it over. Then Lethal does an incredible move. He hangs Christian who is tired and in pain on the ropes on one side of the ring. He runs over to the other side and back at Christian. It seems as if Christian back body drops Lethal over the top rope but he didn't. Lethal did a palancha to the outside but as he's going over the top rope he grabs Christian's left arm..He may have broken Christian's arm with this move because in a very ugly fashion it snapped Christian's arm down over the top rope and then Christian bounced off the ropes and into the middle of the ring screaming.

The referee makes an X to the back and medical personnel begin running out to the ring. They all begin to check on Christian. After about three minutes they manage to get Christian to his feet. Lethal seems distraught over hurting another wrestler. He's leaning on the ropes but Christian breaks free of the medical personnel and grabs Lethal..UNPRETTIER!!! Lethal is done as the referee gets down and tenatively counts..1..2...3! Christian gets up and raises his arms in the air gingerly favoring his left arm. It's hurt but maybe not as bad as Christian made it seem. Christian is given the WWE Intercontinental Championship and he raises it in the air and celebrates with it. Then leaves before Lethal recovers and realizes what just happened!

The bell sounds and both men lock up in the center of the ring. Haas drops to his knees and hits a fireman's carry on O'Haire. Haas then locks on a reverse chinlock immediately onto O'Haire. Haas holds onto this hold for about a minute before O'Haire gets to his feet and hits several elbows to Haas's midsection. O'Haire runs to the ropes but Haas hits a running knee to O'Haire's gut and locks the chinlock back in. At this point Taker gets into the ring and kicks Haas in the back of the head to make him let the hold go. Taker leaves the ring but in the meantime. Shelton Benjamin gets into the ring and smacks his hands together very hard. The signal for a tag. Haas rolls out of the ring and the referee allows it.

The crowd aw's as Haas gets a shoulder up. Undertaker stands up and makes his cut throat signal and as he does it "Medal" Hits and Kurt Angle comes walking through the saloon doors. "A really cool visual watching that as well"

Kurt Angle walks to the ring and the crowd is boo'ing and cheering at the same time. A real buzz in the air. In the meantime Team Angle is hitting a Code Angle on O'Haire behind Taker. Taker realizes this and turns around but then Kurt climbs up onto the apron. Taker seems to sense this somehow because he turns back around and levels Angle. Taker turns around into a double team Flapjack from Team Angle. From here Haas uses all his strength and screams to get Taker up onto his shoulders and Benjamin goes up top..CODE ANGLE ON UNDERTAKER! Haas then covers the Dead Man..1...2....3! Team Angle Retains! Kurt Angle from here gets into the ring and yells at Team Angle to get Taker up. He yells at Taker just before he beats him down.

HUGE HUGE RAW/SMACKDOWN JOINT ANNOUNCEMENT!

Shane McMahon comes walking to the ring and climbs inside with Angle letting go of the Anklelock and Team Angle throwing O'Haire out of the ring. Shane O Mac begins to talk on the mic though.

Kurt, Shelton, Charlie. Good to see you all. It's my unfortunate duty though to inform you as well as all of these fans tonight that..you three will not be together as "Team Angle" After tonight and no that's not the Huge Announcement we have tonight. So..Without further ado as much as I hate to introduce him. Eric Bischoff, come out here so we can get this Deal signed.

"I'm Back" hits and Eric Bischoff walks through the saloon doors with a contract on a clipboard just like Shane's in hand and a Microphone as well. Eric walks to the ring and coming with him are we suppose his bodyguards tonight. The Superhero Duo of Cyclone and Hurricane. They make their way to the ring and the Superhero Duo stands behind Eric Bischoff to at least make a showing that they will defend their General Manager..how sweet. Eric now gets on the stick and begins to talk.

Bischoff: It's Great to be here tonight and Shane. While I still do hate you..oh how is that leg of yours by the way? Tonight we will sign a historic deal that will shake WWE to it's foundation.

Shane smiles taking the jab from Bischoff about breaking his leg for the moment. We know Shane would love to nail Bischoff but the deal isn't signed yet so he takes it as well as his turn on the stick.

Shane: Tonight I am here to announce that the following members of Smackdown have been Traded to RAW. The Entire Active Tag Team Division of Smackdown has been Traded to RAW, Including the WWE Tag Team Champions with the Titles Team Angle! Also included in this trade are Batista and Taz for good measure.

Bischoff takes his turn on the microphone announcing who is going to Smackdown from the RAW Side apparently.

Bischoff: From the RAW Side I am here to announce that the following members of the best brand in Sports Entertainment are being traded to Smackdown. Hurricane, Cyclone. I regret to inform you that your stay on RAW is over.

With this Team Angle knocks both Hurricane and Cyclone to the outside with dueling dropkicks. Apparently Team Angle is already trying to endear themselves to their new General Manager.

Also Mortis, Lance Storm, Rob Van Dam and TRIPLE H Have all been traded to Smackdown as part of this deal. The Cruiserweight Division is now a sole propority of Smackdown while the Tag Team Titles will now be completely owned by RAW. There will not be another Tag Team Championship in WWE After Armageddon. As there will be a Unification match for the Tag Team Titles. The World Tag Team Champions at the time will face off against the WWE Tag Team Champions and the winners will be the Undisputed Tag Team Champions!

Both Eric Bischoff and Shane McMahon sign the deal at the same time and on the outside Team Angle is still taking care of The Superhero Duo but inside the ring. Once both have signed the contracts. Shane McMahon very suddenly hits a Flying shot with the clipboard to the head of Eric Bischoff which makes the crowd go nuts!! Then Shane McMahon makes motions at the Undertaker and Taker puts his fist in the air as he picks Eric Bischoff up to his feet and sticks his head in position. LAST RIDE ON BISCHOFF, LAST RIDE ON BISCHOFF!!! Is the call we hear from Jim Ross at the RAW announce position. What a trade! We head to a long commercial break immediately after the last ride. Promoting the upcoming RAW brand house shows.

AJ Styles vs Sabu

WWE American Championship Match

The crowd is still hot for the last segment so Styles doesn't get as big a reaction as others have gotten tonight from the crowd as his music hits and he comes through the saloon doors and out to the ring. Styles makes his way to the ring and rolls under the bottom rope. Then Sabu's music hits and the crowd cheers loudly for him though that cheer is probably the weakest of the night for any good guy.

Now there is an intermission break in which time the Rings are prepared and readied. The second ring had basically not been used tonight. Mostly because the wrestlers were told to stay out of them. The intermission break allows the War Games Cells to be lowered and put into place properly. All the ropes to be adjusted and made sure there won't be any problems. After fifteen minutes we return from intermission. In the time of this intermission the viewers at home are previewed of the final three matches by J.R and The King as well as shown videos of the three upcoming huge matches. Then once they finally finish it we stay with J.R and The King for the next Two War Games Matches!

Shawn Michaels vs Triple H

Interpromotional War Games Match, 1 on 1

"It's Time to Play the Game!" is heard being said by Motorhead. Triple H makes his way through the saloon doors and stalks around the War Games cell. Barely any room between the Barricade and Cell but just enough to walk. Triple H finally from ringside grabs a Sledgehammer from behind the Smackdown announce position and there is a little rope attached to the bottom of it so he can climb with it. (Circa 2001 No Way Out with Mick Foley) Triple H then begins climbing the War Games Cell to the top! The crowd is cheering loudly and then explodes even louder as Shawn Michaels "Sexy Boy" Music hits and HBK comes sauntering through the Saloon doors and drops to his knees as the pyro goes off behind him at the set. HBK then stands up and motions to Triple H as if accepting the challenge and HBK begins ascending the Cell!!! HBK gets up to the top as Triple H does and both men move towards each other on top of the cell. The crowd is cheering insanely loud the entire time as Triple H tries for a sledgehammer shot to the head but HBK instead hits a Drop Toe Hold on HHH INTO The Cell! It wasn't meant for someone to be on top obviously because HHH's head bounces off the mesh of the cell. It's been rigged to be very hard and tight it seems. HBK picks up the sledgehammer that Hunter dropped and HBK makes motions like he's going to use it.

HBK moves towards HHH making a crucifix sign with the sledge and then goes at Hunter to smash it down on him. Triple H was begging HBK the entire time not to do it but the begging falls on deaf ears. So Triple H instead kicks HBK in the crotch and HBK falls to his knees in pain. They're close to the Smackdown announce table side of the ring..you can casually see both the Spanish announce table and the Smackdown announce table removing their monitors from harm's way as well as getting up as Triple H grabs HBK and OH MY GOD HE THREW HIM OFF THE CELL JUST LIKE MICK FOLEY THROUGH THE SPANISH ANNOUNCE TABLE BELOW!!!! HBK is heard screaming in agony about his back. HBK had landed back first to the table and is writhing in pain. He's obviously not paralyzed but what damage did that do to HBK!! Medical personnel come running out to help HBK as Triple H climbs down to where he's at. Triple H being the sadistic man he is. Picks HBK up and drags him over to the Smackdown Announce table, ignoring the medical staff and pushing them away. He stands up with HBK on the table..no not that Hunter! PEDIGREE THROUGH THE SMACKDOWN ANNOUNCE TABLE!!! He's trying to end HBK's Career since tonight is his first night as a member of the Smackdown Roster!! HHH picks HBK up after a moment and drags him..basically pulling him along to where the Cell door is still open and he pushes HBK inside and into the ring. He then climbs into the ring and covers HBK. The referee which is Earl Hebner...reluctantly counts HBK down..1...2....3! "The Game" By Motorhead hits and Triple H raises his arms in triumph and climbs the turnbuckles. About 10 medical personnel in all get into the ring and tend to HBK. Eventully after Triple H is gone. They bring a stretcher out and put HBK onto it and wheel him up the aisle through the saloon doors. The last thing we see as the doors are swinging closed is HBK giving a thumbs up to the crowd which brings a huge eruption but how bad is HBK Hurt!?

(Winner: Triple H)(Both Men Lost Overness due to a short feud as well as Triple H losing overness from a weak gimmick?)(Shawn Michaels did sustain an Injury in this match. Details tommorrow night on RAW!)

Chris Jericho/Jay Lethal/Steve Corino/???? vs The Rock/Kane/John Cena/Booker T

World Heavyweight Championship War Games Match

Lillian Garcia is in the ring now to explain the rules of this match, the same rules applying to the Smackdown War Games Match!

Lillian Garcia: This match is scheduled till the Last Man is Eliminated!! Four Men will start in the Cell. Two in Ring one and Two in Ring two! Every 3 minutes another participant will make his way down to the ring. Pinfalls are only legal inside of the Rings. Around the ringside area or elsewhere is not legal. The only way to eliminate an opponent is by Pinfall or Being Knocked Out! The Match starts as two teams and once every man has entered the ring. The timer will start for a final time for five more minutes. When it expires, Team Rules are dissolved. Team Members cannot commit pinfalls on each other during the match until the Team Rules are dissolved! and then it's Every Man For Himself For the WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!

Now Lillian begins announcing the men to the ring as the first four men come out. We notice in each of the four corners of the War Games Cell are trash cans filled with weaponry. Obviously this match is No DQ! Steve Corino's music kicks up as it appears he will be one of the first four to the ring! Earl Hebner is in one of the rings and Nick Patrick in Ring Two to allow for maximum coverage for pinfalls. Corino enters through the Cell door which another referee is manning which makes for three referees at the ring. Then once Corino has been motioned down to the second ring with Nick Patrick in it. The Next participant's music hits which is..Pyro explodes at the set and Kane comes walking through the saloon doors and this obviously cannot mean good things for Steve Corino!! Kane walks down to the ring and climbs inside the first ring and walks over to the side where the rings are right next to each other and climbs over both sets of ropes as he is directed to the Second Ring as well!!! Corino and Kane start it off in Ring #2! As they stare each other down the third participant's music hits..and it is Jay Lethal's theme! He comes barging through the saloon doors obviously not happy with losing his Intercontinental Title tonight and looks very determined as he makes his way to the ring and climbs inside. He stands in wait in Ring #1 with Earl Hebner as well standing...waiting for Participant number four!

John Cena's Music hits and he busts through the saloon doors, thugged out more than normal as he walks to the ring and takes his retro Denver Nuggets jersey off and gets inside the ring. The bell sounds and the crowd explodes as this War Games Match begins!

Ring #1: Cena locks up with Lethal immediately and begins overpowering him with some hard clubbing shots to the back and sinches in a front facelock. He tries to work Lethal over with this move and Lethal has real trouble powering out of it. Cena then hits a hard vertical suplex on Lethal and throws him over the top rope. Cena plays to the crowd after throwing Lethal over the top but Lethal hung onto the top rope and landed on the ring apron. Cena sees this and runs at Lethal but Lethal hits a hard shoulder thrust into the gut of Cena and then hits a Sunset Flip over the top rope and onto Cena. Cena grabs the top rope and tries to sit down on Lethal's shoulders to get the pin that way since pinfalls count anywhere and it's no DQ. But Lethal manages to slide out of it and gets to his feet before Cena gets off his knees. So Lethal hits a front dropkick to the back of Cena's head and that knocks Cena to the outside!

Ring #2: Kane locks up with Steve Corino at the same time as they lock up in Ring #1 but Kane begins basically mauling Corino in the early going. Kane slugged him in the head and hit his throat thrusts to the throat of Corino in one corner of the ring. Kane then whipped Corino across the ring and hit a running clothesline into the corner on Corino. Kane whipped Corino across the ring but this time Kane met Corino's boot as he ran in! Corino then ran up and bulldogged Kane to the mat and went for a cover..1...thrown off. Obviously it'll take alot to finish Kane off! Corino climbed out of the ring and began to take down one of the trash cans and set it in that corner of the Cell. He pulled a lead pipe from within the trash can and climbed back into the ring...

Ring #1: Cena is pulled back into the ring by Lethal but as Cena gets to his feet on the apron he Stunners Lethal on the top rope by grabbing his head and pulling down. Cena then climbs back into the ring and begins to go to work on the ribs of Lethal again. About 30 seconds now until the next guy comes out. Basically it breaks down from there. So Cena tries to go for the F-U on Lethal but Lethal rakes Cena's eyes and falls to his feet behind Cena. Lethal in turn lifts Cena up into a Vertical Suplex and holds it for a Falcon's Arrow and covers Cena..1...2.kickout soon after 2..the 10 second count begins.

Ring #2: Corino climbs back into the ring with the lead pipe and runs at Kane but Kane levels Corino with a big boot to the jaw. Kane picks Corino up and whips him to the ropes.

Corino takes a moment to recover from Kane's mauling as the clock counts down! 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1...

A Buzzer sounds as it hits zero and "King Of My World" Hits! The crowd explodes as the World Heavyweight Champion steps through the saloon doors as the lights go down. Jericho does his standing pose and swivels around as the Cell door is opened for Jericho. Jericho walks to the ring and hands the belt off to the referee outside the War Games Cell.

Lethal and Cena were forced to fight for the first four minutes but now take advantage of the Team Rules. Cena gets up while Jericho is working Lethal in a corner with knifedge chops. Cena goes outside the ring and takes down another trash can and empties the contents neatly somewhat into that corner of the cell. Cena then climbs back into Ring #1 with the Trash can and SMASHES it over the back of the head of Jericho..from there it turns into double team warfare!

He's in pain but also knows he can't be pinned outside the ring. Cena and Lethal both climb out of the ring and begin double whipping Jericho into the ring and Steel Mesh sadistically!

Kane has trouble getting off the mat a couple times for long two counts. At the 10 second mark Corino lets go of it and covers Kane..1...2...shoulder up! At this point the clock hits zero and the next man out comes to the ring!

"Yes Yes! No NO!" and Booker T's music is what is heard! Booker T pushes his way through the saloon doors and makes his way halfway to the ring and then kneels down and does his pyro signal!

So PATRICK GETS AN F-U!!!! That'll show him!

Cena grabs Jericho and rolls him over into ring one and Cena does his best possible impression of a Lionsault once Cena is in the ring and Jericho is close to the middle of the ring. Jericho knowing his own finisher though gets his knees up and gets to his feet slowly as Cena holds his stomach in pain. Jericho then lifts Cena up onto his shoulders...JERICHO HITS AN F-U ON CENA! Jericho then covers Cena..1....2....Cena's Shoulder shoots up as Hebner's hand came down for three. Jericho decides to make this a bit more brutal and slides out of the ring and grabs a chair. He slides it back into the ring and puts it near the middle of the ring. He picks Cena up and HE HITS A BREAKDOWN ON CENA SMACKING HIS FACE DOWN OFF THE CHAIR! Both Jericho and Cena are down but Jericho takes just about five seconds and then uses what's left of his strength to throw an arm over Cena..1...2.....NO!!! Cena somehow by the graces of god on instinct alone threw his arm up and then it almost limply fell back down but he kicked out! Jericho seems insensed and gets up slowly in pain. This match has taken a ton out of both men! Jericho goes for a Lionsault on Cena but it's sloppy and he takes too long as Cena gets his knees up. Jericho flops around in pain for a moment and gets back to his feet as Cena does. Cena then kicks Jericho in the gut...F-U ONTO THE STEEL CHAIR!!! Cena slowly rolls into the cover and hooks the leg..1...2......3!!! NEW CHAMPION! Cena's Music hits as the bell sounds and the cell door is unlocked.

The referee on the outside hands the World Heavyweight Championship to Earl Hebner and he places it on Cena and raises his limp arm. Cena may not even realize he's done it but he's become the World Champ for the first time in his young career! He's beaten the odds and seven other men to become the NEW World Heavyweight Champion!! After a moment the RAW Referees and the New World Heavyweight Champ, John Cena clear the ring. Cena walking triumphantly to the back but it's more of a stagger. Finally a defeated Chris Jericho gains his senses and staggers to the back, looking quite defeated as one would after such a hard fought battle. Then the Smackdown crew comes down to the ring and begins setting up the trash cans back to the way they were or pulling out a couple new ones for the ones demolished. They pull a couple tables out from under the ring and lean them on the War Games Cell as well!

Mysterio comes walking to the ring, playing to the crowd all the way. The crowd is eating this up the entire time. Mysterio steps into the cell and walks over to Ring #2. Mysterio then leaps up onto the ring apron, then leaps onto the top rope and springboards into Ring #1..

Ring #1: Brock Lesnar immediately spears Eddie back into one corner of the ring and begins plowing his shoulder hard into Guerrero's gut. Lesnar then drives his shoulder into Eddie four more times and then whips him to the opposite corner of the ring. Lesnar follows him in but Eddie avoids the contact and then school boys Lesnar and gets his feet on the ropes...1..2...kickout by Lesnar!

Ring #2: Benoit tries to lock on a Crippler Crossface at this point but Mysterio rolls out of it and dropkicks Benoit in the back of the head! Mysterio runs to the ropes and then baseball slide dropkicks Benoit in the ribs! Mysterio then runs over and slides out of the ring as the clock on the tron hits 30 seconds. He pulls down a trash can and empties the other weapons into the corner of the cell there. He climbs a corner near Benoit quickly and as the clock expires to zero. Mysterio goes for a Giant Legdrop with the trash can underneath him but he hits nothing but mat, crushing the can!

You Think you know me! Smoke begins to engulf the saloon doors and then the WWE Champion busts through the doors and pumps the crowd up as they explode in cheers! Edge comes down to the ring and takes his leather jacket off. He also unstraps the WWE Championship and hands it to the referee manning the cell door. Then Edge steps inside the War Games Cell and goes for Ring #2 immediately to help his buddy Rey Mysterio out!

Ring #1: Lesnar is the first up and begins pounding it to Eddie Guerrero again. Lesnar then whips Eddie to the ropes and runs into him for his Spearing Spinebuster, he spins back towards the middle of the ring with it and drives Eddie down into the mat! Lesnar covers Eddie after that..1...2..kickout by Eddie! Lesnar goes outside the ring and brings a table back into Ring #1 as we cut to Ring #2!

Ring #2: Edge slides into the ring as Chris Benoit gets up and Edge spears him back into one of the corner's of the ring near the first ring. Edge drives his shoulder into Benoit several times and begins laying in knifedge chops. This seems to insense Benoit and he flips it around and lays in huge Knifedge chops to the chest of Edge! Benoit then whips Edge across the ring as hard as he can. Benoit himself goes down to throw Edge harder to the corner. Edge hits the corner so hard, he goes down hard! Mysterio is stirring by now so Benoit turns to him laying in huge knifedge chops to him as well. Benoit then whips Mysterio to the ropes and grabs what's left of the trash can and puts it behind him. Benoit then BACK BODY DROPS MYSTERIO ONTO THE TRASH CAN!

Ring #1: Lesnar begins setting the table up, leaning against a corner that connects to Ring #2. Eddie Guerrero is up by now and hits a Standing Leg Lariat on Lesnar as he turns around. Eddie then rolls over to ring #2 really quickly as Lesnar lies on the mat but is close to the side next to Ring #2. Then EDDIE GUERRERO DOES HIS FLYING SENTON OVER THE RING #2 and RING #1 Ropes! He nails Lesnar and then covers him as the clock begins counting down from ten. 1....2.....kickout by Lesnar! Eddie seems to begin to get frustrated and stomps on Lesnar several times as the clock expires.

Ring #2: Benoit then quickly covers Mysterio after the back body drop and hooks the leg..1...2...Edge breaks it up with a kick to Benoit's head. Edge picks Benoit up and whips him to the ropes and hits a Flapjack to Benoit! Edge then backs up into a corner and tells Benoit to bring it on. Edge runs at Benoit when he gets up and turns around towards Edge. Benoit slaps on a Crippler Crossface onto Edge, avoiding the spear into his finisher!!! Mysterio though manages to get out of his stupor enough to go up top and LEGDROP BENOIT AND IT BREAKS THE CROSSFACE! All three men are down for the final ten seconds and the buzzer sounds again as the next competitor comes to the ring

the tones of "Medal" start and a huge eruption occurs within the crowd. Just a giant reaction. Some boo's but some cheers too as Kurt Angle comes walking through the saloon doors and the buzz around the arena is huge as he walks down to the Cell and takes off his "Gold Medals" and hands them to the referee. Kurt then steps through the cell and climbs into Ring #1!

Ring #1: Kurt Angle climbs into the ring and begins helping Eddie Guerrero stomp the hell out of Brock Lesnar! Eddie and Kurt pick Lesnar up and hit a double Suplex on him and Angle lets Eddie cover Brock..1...2...kickout! Kurt suddenly picks Eddie up and hits him with a Overhead Belly to Belly suplex!

Instead Mysterio picks Benoit up and Edge kicks Benoit in the gut..EDGEOCUTION! and Edge covers Benoit.1...2.....3!!! Benoit has been eliminated as we switch to Ring #1! (Elimination #1: Chris Benoit)

Ring #1: Eddie gets to his feet at this point and is taunting Angle on the mat but then he turns into a burly bearhug from Brock Lesnar! Lesnar squeezes the life out of Eddie for about 30 seconds before he finally spins him around and drives him into the mat with a spinebuster and covers him.1...2....kickout! Brock Lesnar pops up and goes after Angle as the clock hits 30 seconds. Lesnar and Angle slug it out in the middle of the ring for about the entire 30 seconds.

Ring #2: For just about the entire minute and a half left before the buzzer Edge and Mysterio recover since they're buddies and on the same team. Then we cut to the saloon doors. Benoit is making his way back up the aisle as the buzzer hits zero

The saloon doors bust open and RHYNO RUNS OUT AND GORES THE HELL OUT OF BENOIT!!! This garners a huge reaction as Rhyno yells down at Benoit about getting what he had coming to him. Rhyno then walks to the ring and climbs inside of the War Games Cell! Rhyno climbs into Ring #1 and we will have this three minutes inside of just Ring #1 since there is no action in Ring #2 for this time

Ring #1: Rhyno slides into the ring and immediately goes after Eddie Guerrero, tackling him into a corner and beginning to hit hard knifedge chops and fists to the head. He whips Eddie across the ring but Eddie leapfrogs out of the corner and avoids Rhyno. Eddie then hits a beautiful dropkick on Rhyno to stagger him back into the corner. Then Eddie Monkey flips Rhyno out of the corner. In another corner Brock Lesnar is pounding Kurt Angle over and over with hard right hands. Angle reverses it at this point and begins laying into Lesnar with those powerful rights of his. Angle then takes Lesnar out of the corner and hits a snap suplex on Lesnar! Eddie is trying to sinch in the Lasso From El Paso on Rhyno but Rhyno flips his legs out of it and then stands up in wait for Eddie. Rhyno goes for the Gore on Eddie as he gets up but Eddie sidesteps it and gives Rhyno a push into the corner and SMACK against the ringpost! Rhyno goes down holding his shoulder and Eddie goes down to a knee.

Ring #1: Angle goes outside the ring and grabs a Steel Chair from underneath the ring. Angle climbs back in the ring and crushes it over Lesnar's skull as he was getting up! Angle then lays the chair on Lesnar and climbs to the nearest corner! Angle isn't gonna do this!! The crowd does a huge gasp/cheer as Angle leaps off the top rope for a beautiful Moonsault which catches nothing but CHAIR! Lesnar rolled out of the way but left the chair and Angle smacks his upper body off the chair! All four men are somewhat down as the the buzzer sounds and the next man is out!

The Matt Hardy Version 1.0 loading video is seen and then Matt Hardy Version 1.0 comes walking through the saloon doors and his mattfact appears on the screen with him "Mattitude just like Survivor Series is a Winning Tradition!" The second Mattfact that pops up is that "Matt Hardy has never lost a "Cage" Match" We don't know if that's necessarily true but Matt Hardy Version 1.0 makes his way inside of the Cell anyway. He walks over to Ring #2 but Rey Mysterio does a suicidal move!

Ring #1: Lesnar at this point crawls over and covers Angle with an arm..1...2...kickout by Angle! Eddie flapjacks Rhyno as he comes out of the corner.

Hardy moves away and gets to his feet as the buzzer sounds (Elimination #2: Rey Mysterio)

We wait for the next man out and it's AJ Styles!! The New WWE American Champion comes walking to the ring with the American Championship in hand. He walks down to the ring, taunting the crowd.

Hardy telegraphs the back body drop just a second too early and Styles hits a Crucifix DDT to Hardy! Edge is up groggily in a corner and is waiting as Styles stands back up and turns RIGHT INTO A SPEAR!! All three men are down as we shift back over to Ring #1 for the last minute and a half before the last Entrant which is obviously The Dead Man.

Ring #1: Rhyno is standing in wait for Eddie Guerrero as he gets to his feet. Rhyno hits a pumphandle slam on Eddie and covers him..1..2...kickout by Guerrero! Rhyno rolls out of the ring and grabs a Singapore Cane and grins sadistically. He rolls back into the ring but Eddie kips up and hits a HARD Leg Lariat to Rhyno taking him down as the clock is hitting 30 seconds to go. Eddie Guerrero then sinches in a Lasso From El Paso for the final 20 or so seconds until the buzzer hits!

Edge then locks in the Edgelock (Standing Figure-Four) for the last 30 seconds until the buzzer sounds.

"Red Devil" Hits and the crowd explodes in cheer as Taker comes walking slowly through the saloon doors. Probably the most fatigued of all the men entering this match. Taker walks his way down to the cell and walks through the cell door. He then climbs into Ring #1 and begins to go to work.

Ring #1: Taker climbs into the ring and SLUGS Eddie Guerrero right between the eyes. Taker begins putting a beating on Eddie Guerrero and whips the fatigued Eddie to the ropes and hits a hard big boot to the head of Guerrero.

Eddie does his best cheat by just straight up kicking Taker between the legs. Taker lets out one of those loud yells of pain but stays standing. Eddie then DROPKICKS TAKER IN THE GROIN!

Ring #2: AJ Styles picks Matt Hardy up as time expires for the Team Rules..STYLES CLASH!!! AJ Styles then covers Matt Hardy..1....2....3! AJ Styles eliminates Matt Hardy!! Edge at the same time is picking up Eddie Guerrero and EDGEOCUTION ON EDDIE! Edge then covers Eddie..1...2....3! (Elimination #5: Matt Hardy Version 1.0)(Elimination #6: Eddie Guerrero)

Taker climbs into Ring #2 at this point and goes after Rhyno immediately while Styles couples off with Edge and begins beating on him in one corner of the ring. Taker pounds on Rhyno for about a minute until Rhyno reverses the position in the corner and begins hitting hard shoulder thrusts to the gut of Taker. Rhyno then backs up and GORES Taker in the corner. Rhyno then goes outside the ring and pulls a table from under the ring and gets into the ring with it. Rhyno then SLAMS the table into Taker and Rhyno goes across the ring to the opposite corner. Rhyno then runs full force at Taker and the Table in that corner. RHYNO COMPLETELY DESTROYS THROUGH THE TABLE!!! Unfortunately The Undertaker moved and Rhyno only hit table and turnbuckle. Rhyno staggers out of the corner right into a TOMBSTONE!!! The crowd explodes for the Tombstone and Taker covers Rhyno..1...2....3! (Elimination #7: Rhyno)

While the Taker/Rhyno fighting was happening.

Edge sees Taker getting up though and SPEAR FROM THE TOP ROPE TO TAKER!! Edge rolls away from him and stays down for a moment. Styles sees an opening though and while still hurting. He climbs to the top rope and hits a Giant 450 Splash on Taker and covers him..1....2....3!!! (Elimination #8: Undertaker)

Edge gets to his feet slowly as AJ Styles does the same. Edge kicks Styles in the gut and goes for an Edgeocution right off the bat but Styles reverses it with a Northern Lights Suplex with a bridge..1....2.....SHOULDER UP! Edge manages to kickout. Styles slides out of the ring and grabs a Trash can from it's setup in a corner and carries the whole thing over and climbs up onto the apron. He drops it into the ring and then hits a big leapfrog clothesline to Edge! Styles is looking like a Champ in this! Styles picks Edge and looks to be going for a Styles Clash!! Edge uses his leg strength to knock Styles down to his back and uses this for a pinning predictiment..1...2...Styles rolls it back so that Edge is pinned..1...2...kickout by Edge. Styles grabs a 2x4 out of the trash can and swings for the fences at Edge. Edge ducks the attempt and hits a basement dropkick to the left knee of Styles. Edge winds up making it very un-dramatic as Edge grabs a steel chair out of the trash can very quickly. Edge then winds up and CRUSHES IT over the head of Styles. Then Edge shows a very nasty side that we haven't seen before as he smashes it up and down over Styles head four more times on the mat. Edge then throws the chair onto the mat and picks Styles's groggy, limp body up and EDGEOCUTION DOWN ONTO THE CHAIR! Edge makes the academic cover and hooks the leg on AJ Styles..1...2.....3! Edge manages to defeat nine other men to retain his WWE Championship! Edge rolls out of the ring and limps out of the Cell. He grabs his WWE Championship from the referee and lets him raise his arm. Then he straps it and puts it around his neck and begins ascending the cell.

Monday Night RAW

November 17, 2003

We see scenes from last night's incredible Survivor Series PPV. The Dudleys putting both Mayhem and Fury through Tables with 3D's to retain their Titles. Christian cheating his way over Jay Lethal for the IC Championship. Triple H nearly killing Shawn Michaels by throwing him off the War Games Cell and then pedigreeing him through the Smackdown announce table. Then we show scenes of War Games and the finish of John Cena destroying Chris Jericho with a Championship Caliber F-U to take the World Heavyweight Championship..the Cena Era begins on RAW..NOW!

The RAW Intro kicks right in and we hear Union Underground take us to the live feed from The Pyramid in Memphis as pyro explodes all over the RAW set and we kick the show off HOT!

A familiar voice is heard on the mic as "Thuganomics 101" hits and John Cena with the World Heavyweight Championship on his shoulder, comes walking out onto the stage and down to the ring, rapping about what he did last night.

Cena: Yo yo yo cut my beat.

Oh look out it's John Cena in the house.

I'm gonna make you people hear me, I ain't gonna squeak like no mouse.

Everyone said oh John you can't beat seven other men.

I Said ya well screw you I can beat ten!

They said oh John man you ain't thug enough to win War Games

I Said you bet your ass Cena is the man and now IVE GOT THE FAME!

I'm the Champ and I am the Man!

I beat down Jericho so easy, It was easier then when i'm on the Can!

At this point "King of My World" hits and Jericho comes walking out onto the stage. Jericho walks down to the ring but seems to be making a B line for the ring. Jericho climbs into the ring and Cena stands up straight with his chin up at Jericho. Cena adjusts the Title on his shoulder very obviously to taunt Jericho. Jericho grabs the microphone from Cena and begins to do his own talking.

Jericho: Now look here Junior! You think just because you've been able to pin me that makes you the man? I've been beating snots like you for years before wrestling was ever even a twinkle in your eye. So if you think that your gonna stay the Champ. You got another thing coming. So spit out your little rap about that Assclown!

Cena has this almost flabberghasted look at being called an Assclown and he's about to talk more smack but Jericho whom had been about five feet away. Suddenly leaps at Cena and nails Cena with a flying forearm to knock him down. Jericho then grabs the World Heavyweight Championship that Cena had over his shoulder and as Cena gets up..CRACK! Jericho blasts Cena across the head with the Title. Jericho then puts the Title on the chest of Cena and goes for a BIG LIONSAULT!!! Cena gets clocked with the Lionsault and rolls out of the ring. Cena crawls around ringside and eventully gets to his feet backing up the ramp as Jericho yells down at him, calling him back to the ring to finish it. Cena wants no part of Jericho right now, holding his ribs and he raises his arm with the World Title in hand to taunt Jericho as we go to commercial break!

(Chris Jericho AND John Cena Gained Overness From This Segment..Yay)

Randy Orton vs Shark Boy

The first man out tonight is Shark Boy. He comes out to a very good reaction from a hot crowd tonight! They ate up the opening segment and now eat up Shark Boy's entrance. Sharky comes to the ring and then the "Evolution" Entrance hits and now we can see Evolution isn't dead because HHH is gone! Randy Orton comes strutting onto the stage. Orton comes down to the ring and seems to have some newfound confidence...he needed more? Flair comes down to the ring, following Orton and stays around as his manager. Orton climbs into the ring and this match ends up being close to a squash. Shark Boy's realm is still pretty much in Hardcore and Orton has advanced his technical skills it seems cause he looks pretty good in this match. Orton misses a spot and Sharky misses two at different points but the match overall is pretty decent. It ends when Flair gets on the apron going apeshit and Sharky knocks Flair off the apron. Shark Boy then turns around into a huge RKO and Orton covers Sharky..1....2....3! Orton has finally gotten over the hump with Shark Boy and beats him cleanly! Orton isn't finished after this match though. He's aiming to put Sharky out of commission as he brings a Steel Chair into the ring and slams it down over Shark Boy's head three times. Orton then picks Sharky up after putting the chair on the mat..RKO ONTO THE CHAIR! Randy Orton leaves Sharky laying unconcious in the ring as he and Flair head to the back! The Damage is done though!!

Christian vs Steve Corino

WWE Intercontinental Title Match

Steve Corino is the first man out and the crowd which has been hot all night so far. Is hot again and gives Corino a big ovation. Corino gets to the ring and stretches out a bit as Christian's music hits and he comes strutting out onto the stage, playing to the crowd as they boo the hell out of him. Christian has the Intercontinental Championship around his waist as he climbs up the ringsteps and into the ring. Christian climbs into the ring and the bell sounds as Christian hands the title over to Nick Patrick the referee. This match is probably of a better quality than any match at Survivor Series! Both men pull out all the stops and neither man misses a spot in the match. Corino actully looks really strong and like he may take the IC Title from Christian after he just won it! Corino hits a Corino Bomb (Falcon's Arrow) Late in the match for a very long two count. Some of the crowd thought Corino might win it with how long it took Christian to get his shoulder up. Christian hits his reverse DDT about a minute later when he reverses out of another attempted Corino Bomb. Christian gets a long two count and then Jay Lethal comes running down to the ring! Jay Lethal obviously doesn't care about a DQ cause he slides right into the ring and spins Christian around, Christian's back had been to the stage. Lethal then hits a huge Lethal Ride on Christian!! Jay Lethal leaves immediately after it but Christian will retain the Intercontinental Championship because of that! Corino's chance is lost and once Corino gains his bearings he probably won't be happy!!!

Rocky doesn't pose or anything, he just climbs into the ring and begins beating down on Batista. At one point Batista begins to fight back and hits a hard spinning Spinebuster (Arn Anderson Style) for a long two count and goes for his Powerbomb but Rock winds up breaking out of it and landing on his feet. Rock then kicked Batista in the gut and Wham DDT! Rock covered him for a long two count. Late in the match Taz came running down to ringside..another new member of RAW and jumped onto the Apron when the referee had his back turned to Rock. He clipped Batista's neck on the top rope, staggering him back towards Rock..ROCK BOTTOM! Rock then hooks the leg on Batista..1..2....3!

We go to a short commercial break after this match and then when we come back..HBK's music hits and the crowd goes ballistic!! Shawn isn't in the arena though. He's joining us via satelite from his home in San Antonio, Texas!

HBK: Thanks for that guys. I appriciate it. Now everyone is saying in the back. My friends have called me and told me. HBK is dead. Only Mick Foley could've survived the beating that HBK took last night! Well HHH made the mistake of leaving me breathing. It's unfortunate that he fled like the coward he is to Smackdown. He probably requested the trade to Smackdown to escape the wrath of the Heartbreak Kid. I will be..

I'm Back and I'm Better Than Ever! The music plays and Eric Bischoff's video kicks up. This cuts Shawn Michaels off and that is the end of that. Eric was never known for being Tactful. Eric is on the stage with a microphone and is set to announce a couple things.

Bischoff: Sorry everyone. That goodbye speech ran about three minutes too long.

Eric Bischoff looks up to the crowd with a sly smile and then back to his clipboard and begins reading and talking to the crowd.

Bischoff: Now Armageddon is a short time away and it's the Third RAW Brand only PPV. There are several matches that I am making tonight for that event. Some of them you could already guess or have heard about.

The Dudley Boys will be taking on Team Angle to Unify the make the New Undisputed Tag Team Champions!

Christian will have to defend his Intercontinental Championship against Jay Lethal but Christian make pick a stipulation that he would like.

In John Cena's first ever Pay Per View Title Defense. He must defend against the former Champion. Chris Jericho!

Bischoff's music then kicks up again and he walks to the back grinning as the crowd boo's him off stage!

Kane vs Test

This match features two of the biggest men on RAW. There really isn't much of a reason for this match. More than likely it's because RVD was traded to Smackdown, leaving Kane out of someone to fight. So Test filled his spot. Kane does make short work of Test though. Late in the match Test hits a Big Boot to Kane but only gets a long two count. Test is in the face of Nick Patrick, yelling about how he had three. Then he turns around into Kane's hand. Kane had gotten up and now has Test by the throat..CHOKESLAM! Kane then covers Test..1...2.....3!! Kane gets a victory over Test and we head to our final commercial break of the night!

Booker T's music hits first and he's the first man out. Booker comes down to the ring and rolls under the bottom rope, getting inside. Then "Thuganomics 101" hits and John Cena comes walking down to the ring. No Microphone this time, Just the World Title over his shoulder and a scowl on his face. Cena climbs into the ring and throws the belt at Booker which distracts him more than anything. Allowing Cena to gain the early advantage. Cena pounds Booker over and over with kicks to the gut and fists to the head. Cena also backs Booker into a corner of the ring and drives his shoulder into Booker's gut. Cena whips Booker across the ring and follows him in. Booker does his sunset flip out of the corner..1...2...kickout by Cena. Cena gets up first and demolishes Book with a clothesline. Cena then picks Booker up and tries to go for an F-U but Booker gets out of it and hits a hard Back Suplex to Cena. Booker gains momentum from here hitting a Hard Leg Lariat on Cena. Booker also followed that up by hitting a HARD Spinebuster to Cena and floating over for a cover..1...2...kickout! Cena pulls from his tights his chain and wraps it around his fist. Cena gets up and Booker goes for a Book End! The referee is out of position and doesn't see Cena WALAY Booker in the side of the head with the chain. Cena goes down as well, more so he can hide the chain again. Cena then gets up slowly, playing to the beating he's gotten so the referee suspects less. Cena then picks Booker up..F-U! Cena hooks the leg on Booker..1...2...3! John Cena retains with the method that got him to the top, Cheating! We leave RAW with John Cena celebrating his victory on the second rope, holding the Title up in the air!

(Winner and STILL World Heavyweight Champion: John Cena)

WWE Smackdown

November 20, 2003

Scenes are shown from Survivor Series in the Smackdown Perspective to open the show tonight. Showing Psicosis retaining his Cruiserweight Belt over Ultimo with the help of Christopher Daniels and the Handcuff Crucifixtion that followed. Then it showed Team Angle retaining the Tag Titles over O'Haire and Taker barely but then being Traded to RAW! It shows HHH possibly ending the career of HBK! We also see AJ Styles winning the WWE American Championship off of Sabu and finally we see the triumphant Edge overcoming all the odds to retain his WWE Championship! Then we cut to the Smackdown intro video and music. Then once it is finished the camera comes to stop on the Smackdown set as the intro pyro begins going off. Then we cut to Michael Cole and Paul Heyman giving us the previews of the matches tonight but before we can get very far. The first match begins.

Psicosis vs ???

WWE Cruiserweight Championship Match

Psicosis is the first man out, he walks to the ring as his music plays. The Cruiserweight Title around his waist as he comes down to the ring. Psicosis rolls into the ring and he awaits the challenger for his title. STAND BACK THERE'S A CYCLONE COMING THROUGH! Then the entrance which is identical to Hurricane's except it's all White and Cyclone doing all the things in the video. Cyclone comes walking out from the back. The crowd cheers him loudly as he walks to the ring to challenge for the Cruiserweight Title on his first night on Smackdown! Cyclone gets into the ring and both men put on a very good Cruiserweight Match. Psicosis in the middle of the match goes for a Psycho Stunner but Cyclone pushed him off to the ropes and nails a huge Leg Lariat to Psicosis. Later on in the match it looks like Cyclone is gonna hit the Cyclone-Bomb (Tiger-Bomb) but the lights go down and another Mortis cryptic message comes onto the tron and as the lights are out but flashbulbs are going off. It can be seen in the ring that Mortis is attacking Cyclone..With the flashbulbs going off we can see Mortis hit what we think is a Flatliner. The lights come back up a moment later and Mortis is gone. Psicosis is up and Cyclone is on the mat laid out. Psicosis picks Cyclone up..PSYCHO STUNNER! Psicosis then covers Cyclone..1...2....3! Psicosis retains and then Mortis pops up from behind the ring, the announce table side. Mortis has a chair with him and begins to drill the chair into the ribs of Cyclone. Hurricane's music hits and he comes running down to the ring. Psicosis and Mortis bail out of the ring, leaving the Superhero Duo in the ring, Hurricane yelling at the evil-doer Mortis.

ITS TIME TO PLAY THE GAME!!! The lights go down as the strobes hit and Triple H comes walking slowly to the ring in Jeans and a "I am the Game" Leather Jacket. HHH gets in the ring and begins one of his long monotone Promos!

Triple H:I Got traded to Smackdown at Survivor Series and now i'm here. After destroying HBK For Smackdown and now I demand what is rightfully mine. Edge I know you have the night off but I want your ass tonight! For the Title! Your still in the back I've seen you!

"Here Comes The $$$!!" Shane McMahon bounces out from behind the curtain with a microphone in hand and Shane has a puzzled look on his face. He addresses Smackdown's newest Acquisition.

Shane: Hunter you mistake Smackdown for some two bit show like RAW. You actully have to earn your shots here. You haven't earned shbeep here yet. You took out Shawn Michaels because you were going to anyway. If you want to impress people here. Start by winning. Oh against him I'd say.

As Shane was talking Rhyno made his way through the crowd and as Shane says that HHH turns around into..GORE GORE GORE!! Rhyno lays HHH out and tells him that he'll see him later on! No-Sell that Biatch!

Ultimo Dragon vs Jeff Hardy

Jeff Hardy was out first to his more gothic gimmick underneath Mattitude. His music was a darker version of his old music. Then Ultimo came out and Ultimo disected Jeff Hardy in every way. This was almost a complete squash match but Jeff did fight back and nearly hit a Swanton Bomb but Ultimo moved. but CHRISTOPHER DANIELS!! Comes running down to the ring..He's supposed to be in Japan! Ultimo hit his DDT Finisher while Daniels was running down and didn't see him. Ultimo covered Jeff..1..2...CRACK with a chair! Daniels had a chair in hand and knocks Ultimo silly with it. Daniels pulls out those handcuffs and he gets a pretty solid reaction from the crowd as they've grown knowledgable of what is to come next. He slaps the cuffs on Ultimo to the ring ropes and smacks Ultimo over his prone head several more times and then gets on the stick. I love this part!

Daniels: You see Ultimo I did compete in Japan last night. But I had to catch a flight back here. I could not stand to see your Ego continue to grow. Beating on Jeff Hardy who has problems of his own. He does not need you to add to them! So you pick on men who are not fully prepared. You attack when they are prone. Well I do the same Ultimo! For I am here to make sure the sinners of the WWE Do not get away with their crimes! And That's The Gospel, According To The Fallen Angel!

Daniels then rears back with the chair and begins destroying Ultimo's Right knee with the chair over and over and finally cracks Ultimo over the head once with the chair and hits him in the prone chest with it. Daniels then drops the chair and puts his hands inside of his preacher robe and walks to the back..his work done.

Rob Van Dam vs Spanky

Spanky comes out first and then RVD's music and pyro go off. He comes walking out to heavy boo's from the crowd. At least they watch RAW and know he's a baddy! He shows he's a bad guy throughout this match anyway. He taunts the crowd and Spanky throughout. Despite overmatching Spanky throughout. Spanky nearly hits his Sliced Bread #2 but instead of pushing off the top rope. RVD lifts him a bit and instead Spanky crotches the ring post!!!! Not the Turnbuckle but the top of the post!! Spanky falls off to the outside of the ring in pain. RVD then does an incredibly sick Five Star Frog Splash from the top rope to the outside of the ring!! RVD gets back in the ring and Spanky gets counted out as he can't get back inside by 10. RVD then goes and grabs a chair from ringside. Spanky gets to his feet and uses the ring to help him up. RVD is on the other side of the ring..COAST TO COAST VANTERMINATOR!! Spanky began to climb into the ring head first as RVD did this and RVD knocks Spanky out with the move!!! RVD taunts Spanky and the crowd as we head to commercial!

Triple H vs Rhyno

It's Time to Play The Game! and the sinister laughter echoes through the arena as HHH comes out from behind the curtain and gets boo'ed heavily. He walks to the ring doing his normal entrance and water spit. Then once he's in the ring Rhyno's music hits and he comes out from behind the curtain beating his chest to cheers from the crowd. Rhyno gets into the ring and these two men go to war. It's a bit sloppy and mostly because of Triple H. Rhyno hits a pumphandle slam on HHH for a long two count. HHH hits his Facebuster and high knee to get a long two count on Rhyno. Rhyno goes for the Gore late in the match but HHH sidesteps it. Rhyno recovers enough to run to the ropes instead of into them. He comes back at Triple H who takes him over in a Main Event Spinebuster! (Yes I renamed it) Trips then waits for Rhyno to get up..kick wham..PEDIGREE! Triple H then covers Rhyno..1...2....3.! Triple H celebrates in the ring and then goes outside and gets his sledgehammer! He comes back in the ring and waits for Rhyno to get up. He goes to clock Rhyno but RHYNO GORES HIM INSTEAD!!! Rhyno gets the one up on Triple H in the end as we head backstage!!

That damn Kurt Angle he's showing up late again tonight. Someone needs to talk to him about showing up late like this. Angle walks into the building and past Edge, in street clothes with his WWE Championship over his shoulder. Edge smiles that million dollar smile and says "Hello Kurt" This seems to Anger Kurt as Edge seems to be gloated almost about retaining at Survivor Series and Kurt storms off.

AJ Styles vs Sean O'Haire

O'Haire is first to the ring and the crowd gives him a pretty nice ovation for being back just a few weeks in action and on Smackdown. Then Styles music hits and he comes strutting out from the back with the WWE American Championship around his waist. He comes to the ring and Sean O'Haire proceeds to dominate the smaller Styles for much of the match with high impact power moves. Styles hits some high spots from the top rope. A Top rope hurricarana and a Top Rope Leg Lariat which was beautiful. O'Haire hits a Running Powerslam as well as a Reverse Vertical Suplex. O'Haire late in the match looks like he's going to win but while the referee isn't looking. Styles hits a low blow on O'Haire. Styles slides out of the ring and grabs his American Championship. Brian Hebner admonishes Styles but Styles seems to want to end this match his way and clocks O'Haire in the head with the Title. Hebner rings the bell and DQ's Styles. Styles laughs at O'Haire and flees the ring. When O'Haire gains his bearings he won't be happy!

Then "Medal" Hits and Kurt Angle comes walking out through the curtain and walking to the ring. This ends up being a fairly basic Tag Match. Nothing too much except Lesnar playing the face in peril and making a hot tag out to Taker but Benoit ends up chop blocking Taker as he was trying to Chokeslam Angle. Angle then picked Taker up and hit a huge Angle Slam on Taker! Then he sinched in the Ankle Lock. Lesnar tried to break it up but Benoit cut Lesnar off and took him down to the mat. Then he applied the Crossface. Both Taker and Lesnar tap out at about the same time and the match is given to Angle and Benoit. They celebrate in the ring but then Benoit turns with a sinister look on his face as Angle celebrates on an opposite second rope. Benoit then runs up behind Angle..2nd ROPE RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX!!!!!

Heat Matches

Low Ki gets the victory over Fury when Chavo Guerrero and Eddie Guerrero come down to the ring with two hubcaps, one would reason to think from Eddie's Low Rider and hit a Con-Chair-To..maybe it should be a Con-Car-To but anyway to the head of Fury while Low Ki had the referee distracted. Los Guerreros then roll out of the ring to the far side of the ring as Low Ki leaps on Fury for the cover..1....2...3!

Monday Night RAW

November 24, 2003

We have the normal RAW intro done by Union Underground, all the normal wrestlers you'd see on it and then we cut to the RAW set where we don't start with pyro tonight. We start with something else entirely.

THE GLASS SHATTERS! The crowd literally explodes to hear the Rattlesnake's Music and Austin comes walking out from behind the curtain and walks down to the ring with that Stone Cold purpose in his step. He does his Four Corners Salute and then grabs a microphone. This is the point where we hear from the Rattler who has been pretty quiet if not down right dead since he lost the World Heavyweight Championship to HHH Back in May at Judgement Day! Austin brings the mic to his mouth and begins to talk at this point.

Austin: Ya know alot of people been wonderin..Ole Stone Cold. Why ya losin to Regal on Heat and What's happened to you Stone Cold. You used to be Great!

Stone Cold walks around the ring while he talks on the microphone. The crowd chants What after every sentence is finished.

Austin: I'll be honest with all you fans. I had lost my fire. I was happy with what I had accomplished. Then I realized sitting around one day that it sucks being on Heat. It sucks not being here every night entertaining and kicking some ass. So I am putting all the boys in the back on Notice and especially all the New Bucks thinking they can knock off Stone Cold. The Rattlesnake is BACK and he is gonna kick ass and drink beer until..

"Evolution's Theme" hits and Randy Orton comes walking out onto the stage with a microphone in hand and walks to the ring slowly as he talks to Austin.

Orton: Now Steve. You think that just because you come out here and talk all big and bad. That's going to change what you are?

Orton walks down to the ring and climbs inside while he says the next few sentences.

Steve. You went to Heat and lost your fire cause Triple H. The Best in the business still today. Kicked your ass in a Barbed Wire Match and sent you packing. You just didn't have the sense and unfortunately you did have the choice unlike Mick Foley! You should've retired Steve. Guys like me. Randy Orton are The Future of this business. Not a Washed up old has been like you!

Orton is in the ring at this point and is almost face to face with Stone Cold Steve Austin. Austin now snaps back at Orton

Overall Rating: 81%

Austin: Now who wants to see me stomp a mudhole in this som bitch. Gimme a Hell Ya!

The Crowd gives Austin a big "Hell Ya" so Austin shrugs and drops his microphone and begins slugging Orton with those huge right hands of his. Austin then backs Orton to the ropes and whips him across the ring. Then nails a huge Lou Thesz Press on Orton, slugging him in the face while he has him down. Austin then gets to his feet and waits on Orton..kick wham..no Stunner! Orton pushes Austin off and spins him around..RKO!!! Orton lays Austin out in the ring and Orton grabs a microphone from the ring as he leaves, taunting Austin.

Orton: Too Slow Steve. You'll never be able to beat someone like me, being that slow. See ya later Steve!

Orton waves from the top of the stage to Austin in the ring who was up to a seated position and seemed to have a rage in his eyes that hadn't been seen in a long time!

Sonny Siaki vs ???

WWE Hardcore Championship Match

Sonny Siaki came down to the ring with the Hardcore Championship around his waist. He grabs a microphone from ringside and rolls into the ring. He then begins talking to the guys in the back.

Siaki: Alright now I know nobody has answered this challenge yet and they don't want a piece of the Best thing to hit Wrestling since the Suplex but. Come on and let's see if we can get someone down here so I can retain my Title!

Kane's Pyro goes off and Siaki can almost be seen shitting his pants. Remember Sid folks? It did really happen! Kane disects Siaki in every fashion in this Hardcore Match. Siaki barely gets any offense and when he does it's with some kind of Hardcore weapon! The end comes when Kane nails a Chokeslam on Siaki onto a Trash Can and Kane covers him.1...2....3! Kane wins the Hardcore Championship! Well damn Siaki didn't expect that did he! Kane holds the Title high up in the air in victory as RAW takes the first commercial break of the night

WWE Intercontinental Championship Match

Booker T is out first to his normal entrance. The crowd gives him mad cheers as he walks down the ramp and rolls into the ring. Then Christian's music hits and the crowd boo's him heavily as he saunters down to the ring, blowing kisses to the crowd. Christian climbs up the ring steps and through the ropes to enter the ring. Christian hands his IC Title over to Nick Patrick and then begins clubbing Booker T early to gain the advantage. Christian whips Booker to the ropes and deals him a hard shoulder block. Christian then runs to the ropes and Booker stays down. Christian runs over and Booker gets to his feet and Leapfrogs Christian as he comes by but Christian stops right behind Booker..Reverse DDT and a beauty it is! Christian covers Booker..1..2...kickout! Christian picks Booker up and backs him into a corner. He begins to lay in chops to Booker's chest. Booker reverses it around and begins to lay him hard chops and smacks to Christian's chest. Booker then whips Christian to the opposite corner but Christian reverses it sending Booker in. He follows Booker in but Booker does his reversal into a sunset flip out of the corner..1...2..kickout by Christian!

Booker gets up and waits for Christian. Then hits a super high Flapjack on Christian and then waits for him to get up. As Christian gets up Booker goes for a Running Leg Lariat but Christian ducks it and Booker clobbers Nick Patrick with the Leg Lariat! Christian then hits his Reverse DDT into backbreaker on Booker and he goes down as well. Then Goldust comes walking down to the ring with a gold Steel Chair. Goldust slides into the ring and waits for Booker to get up. He gets up about the same time as Christian. Goldust completely destroys the Chair against Booker's head. Goldust then rolls out of the ring and shakes Nick Patrick from outside the ring. Christian picks up the fallen Booker T and UNPRETTIER! Christian then rolls Booker T over and covers him, hooking the leg...1...2....3! Christian retains again and immediately after the fall is counted. Goldust gets back into the ring and begins to drive the Golden Steel Chair down over and over into Booker's Left knee. Then finally Goldust gives Booker a tremendous Chair shot to the head as Christian has left the ring happily with his IC Title!

Goldust is still in the ring and slams the chair down once more on Booker's head knocking him completely silly now. Goldust then motions for a microphone and begins to talk in his Goldust Persona. (Minus the Stammering)

Goldust: You see Booker. I'm proving right here why I left you for dead with the Dudleys Over a Month ago. You were the Weak link in our team. Not Me! You were always needing rescuing and help. I Always had to be there to save the day..yes I had to be. I've been proving week after week you lose. Last week you lost a World Heavyweight Championship Match to John Cena. Tonight losing to Christian. You lost at Survivor Series..When will you win Booker?! Never again while..Golllddddust is around

Evolution (Batista/Orton) vs Taz/???

The Evolution theme hits and Randy Orton comes walking out onto the stage in his usual entrance with Batista right behind him. They both make their way down the ramp and to the ring. Then Taz's "Thug Superstar" theme hits and he comes walking down to the ring with an Orange and Black towel over his head. Taz then folds his arms as he stands at ringside..HERE COMES THE REAL DEAL NOW! And then D'Lo Brown's music kicks up and the fans give D'Lo a hero's welcome for his return. Giving him perhaps the loudest pop of his career but it quiets down after that. Evolution seems to be disturbed that D'Lo has returned to help Taz! Taz and D'Lo get into the ring and Taz begins to go to war with Batista but quickly Batista begins to handle Taz. While D'Lo and Orton go toe to toe. Batista/Orton throughout the match cheat and pull cheap double team moves. Taz finally makes the hot tag out to D'Lo but gets poked in both eyes by Orton at one point. D'Lo spins around and goes for a Sky High on Batista but instead poor Charles Robinson takes the Sky High. Poor Little Napes. Anyway this is the point where...THE GLASS SHATTERS!!! Stone Cold comes running down to the ring and Orton drops off the ring apron to meet him as Austin comes running down the ramp. Austin ducks an attempted clothesline from Orton..KICK WHAM STUNNER!

The Dudley Boys music hits and pyro goes off. The crowd is boo'ing heavily but it's not Bubba and D-Von that come out! It's Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin. Charlie is wearing his Tag Team Title around his neck and Shelton is acting like a chicken with his head cut off to mock the World Tag Team Champions. Charlie and Shelton come walking down to the ring and pull two tables from under the ring and push them under the bottom rope. Then climb inside the ring and Charlie pushes Shelton and yells..Shelt-Von GET THE TABLES! Lame yes but enraging. Yes as well. The Dudleys come running down at this point as Haas and Benjamin quickly set both tables up. Bubba is the first man in and catches a Title shot to the forehead from Haas. D-Von slides into the ring and Shelton grabs him and whips him to the ropes. Shelton then lifts D-Von into a flapjack towards one of the tables they setup. Haas joins the move..3D THROUGH THE TABLE ON D-VON!!! Team Angle pulls the other table to the middle and waits for Bubba to get up. Bubba gets to his feet and staggers a moment. Then turns right into Shelton...3D THROUGH ANOTHER TABLE!!! The Dudleys have been laid out with their own finisher and own Tables!

Rock is the first out. He saunters down to the ring as his music hits. He does his usual entrance and then stands in the ring waiting as John Cena's Thuganomics 101 hits and Cena comes walking out onto the stage with the World Heavyweight Championship over his shoulder and a microphone in his hand. He begins to cut a beat on Rock as he slowly walks to the ring.

Cena: You see Rock you get a shot against the Champ tonight.

WWE Smackdown

November 27, 2003

Smackdown's normal intro goes down and we see and hear the video/music that normally starts Smackdown off. Then we finish with the Smackdown set coming into camera and pyro going off. Then Michael Cole and Paul Heyman welcome us to Smackdown. From here we hear Matt Hardy's music kick up.

Matt Hardy's entrance begins with the computer loading screen. Then it finishes and his music kicks up..OHHH YEAAAA! and his Version 1.0 music plays as he comes walking to the ring holding his hand high in the air in a Mattitude symbol. Matt's Mattfact of the night is "Matt Hardy has beaten Edge in Arm Wrestling every time they've matched up." This is obviously intended to be a goof way of saying he's better than Edge at something. Matt gets to the ring and gets on the microphone.

Matt Hardy Version 1.0: I came out here tonight because I have a match with Cyclone but I decided something else. I Realized that Edge is the WWE Champion!

The crowd gasps as almost nobody kicks out of the Edgeocution! Edge gets up groggily and can't believe it either. Edge climbs to the top rope and stands poised in wait as Hardy gets to his feet very slowly. SPEAR FROM THE TOP ROPE BY EDGE!!! and Edge just stays on top of Hardy as Hebner counts the pin...1..2....3.!!! Edge retains but not after an extremely close call and tremendous match!

Monday Night RAW

December 8, 2003

the usual Union Underground theme kicks up to start RAW as the video starts as well. Then once it concludes the cameras turn on in the arena and we watch the intro pyro for RAW explode and then we kick the night off with a wrestlin match. How appropriate..it is a wrestling show after all right?

Mark Jindrak vs Batista

This really turns out to be nothing more than a mauling. Jindrak is out to the ring first and he walks down the ramp to an ok ovation. Then once Jindrak is in the ring Batista's music hits and the crowd boo's him heavily as he walks down to the ring. Batista climbs inside and the bell sounds. From here on out it's almost all Batista. Batista dominates Jindrak from turnbuckle to turnbuckle with hard power moves. Several impact slams, a couple suplexes and just pounding. Batista looks like he's set to finish off Jindrak when Taz comes walking down to the ring. Batista throws Jindrak to the mat and yells at Taz from the ring, pointing his finger and yelling curses at him. From behind though as Taz gets to the ring and gets onto the apron. Nick Patrick has to try and get Taz off the ring apron. While this happens D'Lo Brown comes from the crowd and gets in the ring behind Batista. He spins him around and SKY HIGH! D'Lo rolls out of the ring and Jindrak gets over and gets an arm on Batista..1...2....3! Mark Jindrak just upset Batista due to D'Lo Brown and Taz! Batista won't like that at all

Booker T vs Test

Test comes down to the ring first to his music and entrance. The crowd embraces him as one of their own!..no I lied they boo the shit outta him. He climbs into the ring and waits for Booker T. Booker's music hits and he comes walking out onto the stage and does his whole entrance. Booker then climbs into the ring and as he does. Goldust comes running out from the back. Test begins the match with Booker in the ring but Goldust with that gold plated chair in hand slides into the ring and destroys the chair over Booker's head! The referee disqualifies Test immediately as Goldust throws the chair on the mat and picks Booker up. Goldust then manuevers Booker over the chair and..CURTAIN CALL ONTO THE CHAIR!!! Goldust then grabs the chair and begins driving it over and over into Booker's back, trying to weaken it perhaps for their I Quit Match at Armageddon. Test is laughing at the beating Booker is taking. Goldust was more serious than Test and just gives Test a shot to the head with the chair for good measure when Test wasn't expecting it. We go backstage just before we head to commercial break.

Bubba Ray Dudley vs Charlie Haas

This is another match setting up Armageddon as the Dudleys pyro go off and their music plays. Bubba comes walking down to the ring with his World Tag Team Championship around his neck. J.R and The King inform us that The Partner for each team has been barred from ringside in this match. Bubba rolls into the ring and then "WGTT Entrance" hits and Charlie Haas debuts the new music for Team Angle. Charlie gets to the ring and both men put on a fairly good match. Bubba uses his brawling style to beat down on Haas, while when Haas has the advantage he uses his technical skill with suplexes and submission holds to wear Bubba down. Eventull late in the match Haas hits an overhead Belly to Belly and goes over, covering Bubba and getting his feet on the second rope in the cover..1....2.....3! Haas rolls out of the ring, leaving a frustrated Bubba in the ring as D-Von comes running down to the ring and chases Haas. Haas hightails it around the ring and up the steel ramp where Shelton Benjamin is waiting. The WWE Tag Team Champions celebrate, getting one up on the Dudleys yet again!

Kane vs Chris Nowitski

WWE Hardcore Championship

Nowitski is the first one out to the ring. He taunts the crowd as he walks to the ring and climbs inside. He gets on the microphone and states to the crowd that he will defeat Kane for the Title without succombing to the barbaric forms of brutality that most use to get ahead in this business. That's ok cause Kane has no problem with doing it and he comes down to the ring and basically destroys Nowitski. He finishes him off with a Chokeslam onto a Stop sign which finishes Nowitski off. Eddie Guerrero though comes running down to the ring and climbs to the top rope, behind Kane as Kane was covering Nowitski...1...2....3!! But just as Kane is trying to get up. Eddie Frog Splashes the back of Kane down onto Nowitski! Eddie then rolls out of the ring and steals the Hardcore Title!!! Eddie Leaves with it, leaving a very angry Kane stewing in the ring. So Kane gives Nowitski a TOMBSTONE onto the chair for good measure.

Chris Jericho vs Ken Shamrock

This was mostly to get Jericho on RAW other than the feud video. So first out comes Shamrock to the ring and then after that "King of My World" Hits and Chris Jericho does his normal ring entrance, climbing inside. Both men put on a very very good match. Best of the night by far. Jericho and Shamrock go back and forth exchanging suplexes, chops, slams and every other move. Until Jericho hits a powerbomb on Shamrock which is followed by a Lionsault suddenly!! Jericho then hooks the leg on Shamrock but looks around waiting for Cena to interfere..1....2...3! Jericho gets to his feet and seems relieved that Cena didn't stick his nose into the match tonight. Jericho leaves victorious as we head backstage

Randy Orton is backstage preparing for what one would think is a match later. He turns around facing towards a Steel Garage door in the back, doing stretches. As he does this. The crowd pops huge as they see Stone Cold Steve Austin, sneak up behind Orton and wait for him to stop stretching and turn around. Orton gets this feeling that someone is behind him and turns slowly.

Austin: WHAT!

Then kick wham and Orton gets a Stunner on the concrete to lay him out!! Austin puts a couple more stomps into Orton before walking off.

Shark Boy vs Christian

WWE Intercontinental Championship

Shark Boy is the first one out and the crowd explodes in cheers as they hadn't seen Sharky in several weeks. He comes down to the ring, looking as fresh as ever. Then Christian's music hits and he comes sauntering down the ramp with the Intercontinental Championship over his shoulder. He taunts Sharky from outside the ring and then turns around to the crowd and taunts them. Sharky takes things into his own hands by running to the ropes on the opposite side of the ring and palancha's to the outside, Nailing Christian in the back and back of the head! Sharky then gets to his feet and picks Christian up. Shark Boy tries to whip Christian into the steel ring steps but Christian reverses it sending Sharky in very hard to the steps. Christian regains his composure and rolls Sharky into the ring. Christian gets into the ring. Christian covers Sharky and gets his feet on the rope trying to steal the win early..1..2....the referee sees the feet on the ropes and kicks Christian's feet off. Which allows Sharky to roll Christian over and begin laying punches into his head. Sharky then gets up and shakes the cobwebs out. Christian gets to his feet and Sharky runs at him but CHRISTIAN BACK BODY DROPS HIM OVER THE TOP ROPE!!!! Sharky lands full out on his back, no landing on the feet crap in this diary. At this point Jay Lethal comes running out from the back. Lethal slides into the ring and runs at Christian but Christian just takes the momentum and throws Lethal over the top rope on the opposite side of the ring.

Christian then climbs out of the ring on the side Sharky is at. Sharky fights back from Christian trying to roll him back in the ring. Sharky kicks Christian in the gut and sets him up for a vertical suplex that would land Christian on the ring apron on his back but before that can happen. Lethal had pulled a ladder out from under the ring on the side he was on. Lethal comes around the corner of the ring and destroys both men with a ladder shot! Nick Patrick throws the match out at this point and security comes rushing out to break the three men apart before more damage is done as we head to our final commercial of the night

He runs up behind Corino and CRACK, knocks him silly with it. Cena then picks Corino up and drags him to the ring. He rolls him inside and covers him..1....2..Cena even gets his feet on the ropes!...3!!! Cena just like that has cheated his way to another victory. Cena goes up the ramp and picks up his World Heavyweight Championship he dropped on the way down to hit Corino.

WWE Smackdown

December 11, 2003

Smackdown kicks off after the intro video with a tremendous match which you get to see right now.

Christopher Daniels vs Psicosis vs Ultimo Dragon

WWE Cruiserweight Championship, Triple Threat

Ultimo Dragon is the first man out for this match. His music hits and the crowd pops huge for him as he comes down the aisle with his pyro going off behind him. Then the next man out is Christopher Daniels. Ultimo is yelling at Daniels as he walks to the ring. Daniels takes his time outside the ring as Psicosis's entrance hits and his music plays. Psicosis comes walking down to the ring with the WWE Cruiserweight Championship around his waist. Psicosis gets into the ring, unafraid and hands the belt over. Psicosis then immediately attacks Ultimo, hitting kicks to the gut as well as viscious chops to the chest. Daniels now gets in the ring after Psicosis has begun to work over Ultimo. Ultimo fights back though on Psicosis and Daniels immediately drops to the mat and rolls back out of the ring as Ultimo takes control. Daniels stays outside the ring since he can't be counted out, watching Ultimo back Psicosis into the ropes and whip him across the ring. Then Ultimo hits a Rolling Leg Lariat to Psicosis and covers him..1..2...kickout. Daniels pulls up a steel chair at ringside and sets it up. Sitting down to watch the match he's in! Ultimo picks Psicosis up and runs over towards the side of the ring that Daniels is on the outside of. Ultimo then throws Psicosis over the top rope but Psicosis catches the top rope and lands on his feet. Ultimo then runs at him and it's a combination of a palancha/back body drop from Psicosis and ULTIMO LANDS FLAT OUT IN A CROSS BODY ON DANIELS!!!

Daniels is laid out and Psicosis just shrugs and NAILS AN ASAI MOONSAULT ONTO BOTH MEN! The crowd is cheering big time for that series of moves. Ultimo is the first man up and he throws Daniels into the ring and gets into the ring himself. Psicosis gets into the ring as well. Before Ultimo can do anything to Daniels, Psicosis dropkicks Ultimo, knocking him to the mat. Psicosis then picks Ultimo up and nails a snap suplex on him to the mat. He floats over into a cover..1..2...Daniels breaks it up but it looks like Ultimo would've kicked out anyway. Daniels gets to his feet with Psicosis and kicks him in the gut. Daniels immediately goes for the Last Rites but Psicosis back body drops him out of it! Psicosis then stands in wait for Daniels...PSYCHO STUNNER ON DANIELS!! But before Psicosis can capitalize Ultimo Dragon has grabbed him from behind into a Dragon Sleeper!!!! Daniels is slow to recover as Psicosis fades quickly, Ultimo has it sinched in good. The referee raises the arm of Psicosis once...then twice and then Daniels has gotten up and recovered enough to deliver a front dropkick to the face of Ultimo. Ultimo drops to the mat, releasing the hold. Daniels then quickly picks Ultimo up and throws him over the top rope to the outside. Daniels then picks Psicosis up..LAST RITES!!! Daniels then covers Psicosis quickly, hooking the leg..1...2....3! Ultimo is too late getting back into the ring and we have a NEW WWE Cruiserweight Champion! Brian Hebner hands the belt over to Daniels who escapes the ring with the belt and never having let Ultimo get a hand on him!!

Paul London vs Matt Hardy Version 1.0

This match stemmed from last week when Mattitude beat down London and then Scotty when London wanted to join and was refused physically. Then Scotty got a beat down for sticking up for London. This match is pretty basic. Hardy beats down on the smaller London for a majority of this match but late in the match London hits several high impact moves. A hurricarana from the top rope. A Top rope Dropkick as well as a springboard moonsault off the top rope!!! They only get two counts. London looks to have the advantage and motions for the London's Calling but Shannon Moore comes running down to the ring and jumps up onto the ring apron. This distracts London long enough for Hardy to recompose himself and when London turns back around..kick to the gut..TWIST OF FATE!!! Hardy then covers London, hooking the leg..1...2...3! Shannon Moore gets into the ring and both men begin to beat the hell out of London until...Scotty 2 Hotty's music hits and Scotty comes running down to the ring!!! Mattitude clears out as Scotty's old "Too Cool" Music is playing and Scotty yells at Matt and Shannon while checking on London. Scotty 2 Hotty is back and Mr. MF'er is dead!! Praise the day!

(Winner: Matt Hardy Version 1.0)(Scotty 2 Hotty's turn was negative since the fans realized he turned under three months ago...damn smarks in the crowd)

AJ Styles vs Rey Mysterio

AJ Styles is the first man out to the ring, followed by Rey Mysterio shortly after him. This is basically a filler match for smackdown but was given enough time and both men hit their high flying arsenals as well as AJ unloading his Technical arsenal of suplexes and unique offense. Mysterio went for a "619" halfway through the match but received the dropkick to the gut that many use on Mysterio to counter it now. Mysterio flies out of the ring and to the mats on the outside. Styles then tries to palancha to the outside at Mysterio but Mysterio moves and Styles hit the matting on the outside hard. Mysterio got back into the ring and nailed a "619" on Styles as he tried to climb back into the ring. Mysterio "619'ed" him in the ass to get him back into the ring. Then Mysterio called for the West Coast Pop and springboarded off the top but Styles stopped the Hurricarana when Mysterio was hanging with his legs wrapped around Styles's head. Styles then steps over..STYLES CLASH!!! Mysterio is destroyed from the move and Styles covers him..1...2....3! It's over and AJ Styles has picked up a much needed victory. He was on a losing streak lately, except for a Heat victory. Now that AJ is off the block he can get back after O'Haire perhaps!

Tonight he'll face off against Cyclone! Cyclone then comes to the ring next but doesn't get far as Mortis comes running out of the back right behind Cyclone. Cyclone somehow manages to duck the attack though the attack. Cyclone then grabs Mortis and throws him into the Smackdown set! Then both men brawl off to the backstage area and Mike Chioda just starts the bell and counts Cyclone out. Awarding the match to Rikishi without a fight as we head to commercial!

Edge reverses the position and begins laying into Benoit with chops of his own but Benoit reverses it back around. Again laying in those chops. They are just purely harder than Edge's!
