WWE Raw News Headlines:

Raw Pay Per View?

WWE has started advertising an upcoming Pay Per View they plan to show on Sunday October 30th. The Pay Per View, yet to be named but will revolve around Halloween, is scheduled to be advertised on this week's Raw in a special promo that was shot last week. It has been stated that although funny, the promo also may cause concerns for the younger audience.

ADULT STAR HIRED?

The WWE has confirmed that this past week they have hired former Adult Star, and someone who has briefly appeared on Wrestling promotions of the past, Jenna Jameson. There has been no reason why she was hired, and what the plans for her are at this moment in the company.

TNA STAR HIRED!

The WWE has also tried to deny rumours that they have hired a former top TNA Superstar. Last week on Raw, Chris Jericho was brought back in a backstage on-air role as Vince's right hand man and stated he had found someone to bring in, with rumours stating it is this TNA star.

Highlight Reel!

After Jim Ross's introduction, we goto the Highlight Reel set up in the ring as Chris Jericho stood waiting inside, holding onto a mic, as pyros exploded around the ring.

Jericho: "Welcome to Raw is JERICHO! **pop** Im your host, The Ayatollah of Rock'n'Rolla, and welcome to another great edition of my Highlight Reel. What can I say, everyone thought I was down and out, but I'm back BABY! **POP** You see, since that assclown Shawn Michaels, the man who screwed Y2J, the man who cost me my future with this company, well since I finally shut him the hell up, **pop**, so Shawn has gone, and Vince, being the smart businessman he is, turned to the only man he knew who could make this show the best EEVVVVEEERRRRR! **pop** So Y2J is back, and although I may not be allowed to wrestle at this moment, soon I'll be around to kick everyone's ***. But I guess your wondering what I am doing out here tonight, well last week I promised I found someone for Vince, and they are standing backstage right now, so...."

Before he can continue, music hits, 'No Chance' as out walked in full business suit and doing the trademark Vince strut down to the ring and stomping up the steps, walked Vince McMahon. He climbed inside and walked over to shake hands with Jericho, before picking up a second mic.

Vince: "Well Chris, I'm here, you promised me something big, well I'm waiting."

Jericho: "Vince, I'm glad your here, because have I found someone for you."

Vince: "Last week you said you heard about someone who had been released, well I'm listening Chris, it had better be good, and had better be someone I have heard of, coz I would hate to be disappointed in your first week back on Raw."

Jericho: "Oh, you won't be disappointed Vince, this guy I found, he's young, he's got great potential, and he is a great athlete. So why don't we bring him out."

Newest Raw Member?

The crowd waits, as the lights go out, and it's dark around the arena, suddenly, the crowd pop at the sound of the music that hits. 'Im a Sexy boy' starts up, the theme to Shawn Michaels, which sets the crowd off and the lights come up as we see someone stood at the top of the ramp, in Shawn's full wrestling gear, with his back to the crowd.

After a moment as the crowd were cheering, he turned around and we saw that it wasn't Shawn Michaels. Jim Ross shouted out over the mic.

JR: "BAH GAWD, IT CAN'T BE, NO, THAT'S, THAT'S, THAT'S MICHAEL SHANE. BAH GAWD MICHAEL SHANE IS HERE ON RAW!"

As Shane posed for the fans who gave a small pop, with some not knowing who he was, he made his way down to the ring with Vince looking at Chris Jericho wondering what he brought to the company. Shane climbed the steps and inside the ring as he walked over to shake Vince's hand, and then Jerichos.

Jericho: "Well Vince, by the look on your face I'd say your lost for words?"

Vince: "Lost for words could maybe cover it, well, Chris, maybe you could answer me something, when does the real big name get here?"

Shane looks unhappy while Jericho tries calming him down.

Jericho: "What you talking about, I told you I had found someone special, someone who could be the future of this business, and here he is, do you even know who he is?"

Vince: "Of course I know who he is, why he's, he's, Michael Shannon or something isn't he?"

Jericho: "His name Vince, is Michael Shane, he is a multi time champion, he's the future of this business."

Vince: "Future, well he has to prove that, I mean, who exactly is he, what can he do?"

Jericho: "Who is he? WHO IS HE? Well Vince, this man is the future of Raw, you see, I hired him to show you something, and that is I don't show any grudges against a certain individual."

Vince: "What are you talking about Chris?"

Jericho: "I'm talking about the cousin of this guy right here, Michael Shane is the cousin of Shawn Michaels **pop**. You see, I know Shawn is gonna be out for months, so what a better way to keep the show number #1, than to get the best there is, the real deal, the man who is ten times better than Shawn, the man who with the best Sweet Chin Music will knock you into next week, the man who is the REAL HEARTBREAK KID, MICHAEL SHANE!"

Vince: "Ok, so he's supposed to be better than Shawn, but can you back that theory up?"

Jericho: "Of course I can, why doesn't someone come out here right now, and Shane can show what he can do in this ring!"

Michael Shane vs Val Venis

This was a rather short match which Shane dominated from the start with Jericho at ringside, as Vince went backstage to watch it. Val tried a fightback but Shane was in total control, and as Venis got sent to the corner, he staggered out to be met by a vicious Sweet Chin Music from Michael Shane before he covered and picked up the pinfall in his debut match on Raw. Jericho then climbed in and raised Shane's hand in victory.

Problem, Attacked?

Backstage we found Batista walking down the corridor with his World Tag Team Title over his shoulder, when a shot from behind suddenly sends him down. The camera turns as we see The Hurricane and Rosey standing behind Batista's fallen body, before they start to attack Batista laying on the floor, laying kicks into Batista.

From around the corner came the other World Tag Team member, Tyson Tomko who shouted out at the two attacking superstars before he ran and got stuck in. Tyson attacked Rosey and Hurricane before officials came running and tried to break it up, eventually pulling Hurricane and Rosey away from Batista who was trying to get back to his feet.

As Hurricane and Rosey got pulled away as they walked off, medics rushed to check on Batista.

A Special Message?

Bckstage we find Vince in his office, as a knock on the door is heard followed by it opening and in walked Damien. He had a smile on his face as Vince looked unhappy at seeing his unknown son once again.

Vince: "What do you want, I'm a busy man Damien, and if you have come here to talk about me retiring you can forget it."

Damien: "Oh, forget it you say dad."

Vince: "Don't call me Dad!"

Damien: "Why, everyone knows you are my father, even you know it deep down. I'm trying to help you Vince, I'm trying to give you forgiveness for what you have done, and yet each time you slam the door in my face. What do I have to do, to make you believe the truth dad? What do I have to show you to make you believe what you don't want to believe?"

Vince: "How about a body?"

JR: "A body, what the hell is Vince talking about, a body?"

Damien: "Father, how could you say that, you want me to dig up a body for you to believe in your own mind that you did what you did when you really know it isn't true? Why would I do that, when I have the evidence right here!"

Damien removes a video tape from under his robe he is wearing, and he places it down on Vince's desk as he looks at it, before Vince picks it up and looks back up at Damien.

Vince: "What is this, another one of your tricks Damien, coz it won't work I told you that!"

Damien: "Just watch the video father, then with your own eyes you will see what you do not want to believe. You didn't finish what you started, and the truth is there in your hands."

Damien smiles before he walks off, and Vince looks at the videotape as we close the scene.

JR: "What is going on with Damien, what is on that video tape he gave to Vince, I have a bad feeling about this, but folks, coming up right now, Tajiri and Chris Benoit will be teaming up for tag team action!"

Briscoe Bros. vs Tajiri/Chris Benoit

The Briscoe Brothers made their debuts on Raw teaming up against Tajiri and Chris Benoit and dominated for a small part showing some nice high flying moves, before one went too far. With Benoit just getting to his feet after being attacked inside the ring, Jay Briscoe climbed the turnbuckle and got ready to fly before he jumped off, only Benoit was waiting and as Jay Briscoe came down, somehow Benoit brought him down into a Crippler Crossface and Jay had no choice but to tap out to this finishing move.

After the match, The Briscoe's climbed in the ring and shook hands with Tajiri and Chris Benoit to a small pop from the crowd for an exciting match up.

That's Not Funny?

Backstage we found Maria standing by as she stopped Coach who was walking down the corridor heading towards Vince's office carrying a cup of some drink.

Maria: "Coach, can I have a word."

Coach: "You can have two, NO."

Maria: "But, that's one word?"

Coach: "Look, I know what you want, you want to know why the most handsome man on Raw is heading towards Vince's office right, you want to get a piece of the action here on Raw, you want to be the Number #1 Announcer, well listen up, this is my show, I am the best announcer and Interviewer this company has ever had, but, if you want some tips on being like the Coach, then after the show we could you know, go to my hotel room and discuss a few things"

Coach smiles at Maria as she looks confused.

Maria: "Actually, I just wanted to ask you about last week? Triple H attacked you in the bathroom last week and flushed your head down the toilet, I have to say it was very funny Coach **POP**"

Coach's face lights up in an expression of shock and digust.

Coach: "You think that's funny, you thought it was funny how I had my head flushed down a stinking toilet, you laughed at it I bet Maria, you had a good laugh at the Coach's expense?"

Maria: "Well, hmm, it was quite funny Coach. I mean the way he stuck your head down there and flushed it, and you came out all soaking wet!"

Coach's face shows complete disgust at the way Maria is making fun of him after what happened last week.

Coach: "I'm glad you had fun at my expense Maria, do you know what is also funny?"

Maria: "What?"

Coach: "This!"

Coach then threw his drink of what looked like orange juice all over Maria's dress as she let out a small scream and looked at her now stained dress.

Coach: "Now that, that's what I call funny Maria. How does it feel."

Maria looks unhappy and suddenly starts to cry at the way Coach has treated her before Coach suddenly sees Kane walking around the corner and quickly walks off not looking back as Kane walks over to see Maria crying.

Kane: "Maria, my darkness, what's wrong?"

Maria: "Coach just threw a drink all over me, and now my dress is ruined. Look at it, it's all stained."

Maria shows Kane the staines on her dress as she lifts part up looking at it still wet.

Kane: "Don't cry Maria, first we will get you sorted, and then, if you want me to, I will teach Coach a lesson, would you like me to do that Maria."

Kane runs his hand down Maria's face, wiping the tears which are running down from her eyes.

Maria: "He's a nasty man, I wish, I wish, I wish someone would do to him what he has done to me!"

Kane: "Leave that to me my darkness, I will make sure Coach pays for hurting you, because I don't like anyone hurting you Maria, you know I like you!"

Kane and Maria then walk off down the corridor as we finish the moment.

OR: 58.0%

JR: "Well it looks like Maria is liking Kane having her back here, anyone who seems to upset the Raw Diva looks like they will have to pay the price of that big Monster Kane. But here we go everyone, it's the final match of the 1st round of the World Television Championship Tournament, and we will see right now who Simon Dean will be facing!"

World Television Championship Tournament:

Simon Dean vs Eugene

Simon Dean came out and started on the mic about how he hated Delaware, claiming they should name it Fataware because everyone there wear's fat clothes to some heat from the fans before they popped as the music hit and out walked shaking his hand and bouncing around, Eugene. He smiled and shook hands with the fans on his way down to the ring as he climbed inside.

He went to shake hands with Simon Dean but Dean just attacked starting the match. Dean took the early domination and worked over Eugene before smashing his head against the turnbuckle that upset Eugene who started to 'hulk up' in a way, and he took it back to Simon Dean smashing him in the face with punches before a whip to the ropes and a huge backdrop.

Eugene went over and pulled out a health drink from Dean's bag as he staggered to his feet, and he opened it and took a drink down. Eugene turned around as Dean wobbled about in the ring and turned to go face to face with Eugene, who spat the drink out in Dean's face to a nice pop, before he kicked him in the gut and hit a Stunner on Dean before covering. The ref's hand came down and Eugene was the final entry into the Tournament semi-finals.

Seeing Is Believing?

Backstage after the match we find Triple H stood in his dressing room along with Trish Stratus.

HHH: "Look Trish, I know what I see, two weeks ago I attacked Ric, I made a mistake, last week I attacked Coach, that was another mistake ok, I know that, but everywhere I look, I see him, in my dreams, when I'm awake, down at the local supermarket, he's there, watching me."

Trish: "Hunter, I think you need to get some help, your losing it more than I have ever seen. You haven't slept in days, and you can't go on attacking innocent people, I mean last week you walked out on Naitch and you lost the chance to win the World Tag Team Championship Belts again. You have to see someone Hunter, you are going crazy!"

HHH: "CRAZY, I'm not going Crazy Trish, it's him, it's SHELTON. That bastard is everywhere I look, I can't stop thinking about him, I mean, everyone thinks I killed him but I didn't, but someone is playing games with me Trish, someone on this show is acting like I killed him."

Triple H runs his hand through his hair and scrunches his face in despair at what is happening to him, as Trish turns around and looks over at the showers where in walks Steven Richards.

Suddenly, from outside the dressing room door as Triple H looks on, we see none other than Shelton Benjamin walk past looking in smiling at Triple H. Shelton then disappears past the door and out of sight, as Triple H's face lights up.

HHH: "Did you see that!"

Trish and Steven Richards turned to look at Triple H.

Trish: "See what?"

HHH: "Shelton, he just walked past!"

Trish: "Shelton, oh great, he's at it again. Look Hunter, Shelton isn't here, remember, you kind of got rid of him?"

Trish looks at Steven Richards who does a small 'hes gone' signal with his hand waving next to his head back at Trish as Triple H turns around and sees it. He snaps as he grabs Richards and pushes him up against the wall.

HHH: "Listen, I am not crazy, I just saw Shelton walk past the door clear as daylight."

Trish: "Ok, OK, just let him go. Geez Hunter, you really need to see someone, you said Shelton won't be coming back, and now your seeing things."

Triple H let's go of Steven Richards.

HHH: "I know what I see Trish. He was right there **points to doorway**"

As Triple H points, in walks Ric Flair.

Trish: "Ric, I'm glad your here, Hunter said he just saw Shelton walk past out there, did you see anything?"

Flair: "Not this again, Hunter, there is no one out there, I just came from down the corridor, I never saw anyone about, Hunter we need to get you out of here. Let's go and get something to eat, let's get out of here!"

Flair goes and picks up Triple H's jacket and puts it on Hunter before they walk off, leaving Trish and Steven Richards standing in the locker room.

JR: "We are back, and you saw before the break what took place last week when the World Heavyweight Champion The Master Randy Orton attacked Christian after his match with Simon Dean, well later tonight Orton will be defending his title against Steven Richards but coming up right now, we have two men, former best friends, former manager of the other, and now bitter enemies, 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan is set to go one on one with his former Arab-American, Daivari!"

'The Great' Muhammad Hassan vs Daivari

'The Great' Muhammad came out first accompanied by his team of Ansari and Ameera to some great heat from the fans. They stood in the ring awaiting his opponent, before The Revolution's music hit to a pop and out walked Matt Hardy, Robert Conway, Lita and the opponent, Daivari. They walked down to the ring and Daivari climbed inside for the match to get underway.

Hassan looked on in disgust at Daivari over the way he has turned his back on him, and when they came close enough, Hassan slapped Daivari hard across the face stunning the Revolution member. Hassan did his prayer trademark move, before Daivari ran and took down Hassan with a spear and started to attack him with punches to the body and face before the ref tried pulling them apart.

Daivari got Hassan up and sent him to the ropes before coming back for a backdrop and then a close two count by the ref as Ameera and Ansari complained of what they said was a fast count. This distracted the ref allowing Hassan to come back and attack Daivari, hitting a low blow to the annoyance of The Revolution members stood outside. Matt then whispered something to both Lita and Conway who made their way around the ring and towards Ameera and Ansari who watched.

Suddenly the four came together, as Ansari was attacked by Conway, while Lita took it to Ameera as they fought on the outside of the ring, distracting the ref. This allowed Matt Hardy to jump in the ring and he turned Hassan around as he looked on and hit a kick to the gut followed by a Twist Of Fate. Hardy then slid out the ring and escaped just as the ref turned around.

Daivari slowly crawled over to where Hassan was out cold, and it looked like this may be the first loss for Hassan on Raw as Daivari covered with just getting an arm over the body, as the ref counted and stopped before he hit the three as he noticed Hassan's foot had just made it to the ropes in time. Hardy looked on in disgust thinking they had won this, as the match continued.

It didn't last long though as Ansari jumped in the ring along with Ameera followed by Lita and Conway as the fight continued inside and the ref called for the bell disqualifying both for the outside interference from both teams now in the ring.

The fight continued as Hardy jumped in and started to attack Hassan before officials ran down to try and break it all up pulling everyone apart.

Each Diva starts to scream out at full pitch, Stacy Keibler, Trish Stratus, Maria, Victoria.'

Voiceover: "If you scream, then it must be, HELLOWEEN!"

We see the divas run off out the house and down the roadway, before the camera turns and we see none other than Vince McMahon stood there holding the head of his wife Linda by the hair which had been cut off.

Vince: "What's the problem girls?" **shouting out as Divas run off**

We then see Linda's head turn and look up at Vince who looks down at her.

Backstage we find The Coach standing by with The World Heavyweight Champion, The Master Randy Orton.

Coach: "Randy, coming up shortly you will be involved with a man who last week took you out of the match, I mean of course, that imbasile, that moron, Steven Richards."

Orton: "That's right Coach, last week in our mixed tag team match, Steven Richards, the idiot who comes out dressed as someone else, and last week as Stone Cold Steve Austin **POP**, well he attacked my wife Stacy, which is why I asked Vince to make this match, no one, and I mean NO ONE puts their hands on my wife. Stevie, tonight, you can come out as anyone you want, but maybe it would be best if you come out as yourself, so that everyone, everyone at home and in this arena can see that you can't beat the World Heavyweight Champion at your best, tonight Stevie, you will pay for your crimes against The Gathering!"

The Master Randy Orton walked off leaving Coach smiling hoping Orton beats down the man who not long ago attacked himself. Suddenly, a echo came from behind him.

Kane: "Oh Coach!"

Coach gulped down, and turned his head to see Kane stood up at the top of the corridor, before he dropped the mic and ran off, leaving Kane stood smiling.

The Master Randy Orton © vs Steven Richards

Steven Richards came out first, dressed as himself and not as someone else, as he awaited the arrival of Orton as the eerie music started, and the lights dimmed down and out walked The Master Randy Orton wearing his robe he has been seen wearing for months now and he made his way down to the ring and climbed inside. He handed the belt over before the ref called for the bell and the match was underway.

Orton took the early advantage, working on Richards back and legs, before Richards started a comeback to a small pop from the fans. Richards had Orton set up and came flying off the top turnbuckle as he smashed into Orton but he reversed it over and almost got a three count. Orton jumped to his feet and got ready as Richards staggered up to his feet, and he turned to be met by the RKO by Randy Orton before he rolled over for the cover.

The ref got down to count, only to be dragged outside the ring by someone and we saw Christian had jumped over the barrier and pulled the ref out, before sliding in and going after Orton. The two men traded punches as they took it to each other, before Christian took the advantage and sent Orton to the ropes and came back with a huge backdrop, this was followed up as Orton got to his feet using the ropes and turned as Christian ran forward and clotheslined Orton over the top rope and outside the ring crashing into the announcers desk.

Orton had enough though as he got back to his feet and grabbed his title as he made his way around the ring and started to walk up the ramp.

They then walked down to the ring and climbed inside, each climbing the turnbuckles to pose some more before Batista took hold of a mic.

Batista: "Last week, me and Tyson got into some kind of Problem, and you all know, where's there a Problem, we have the Solution! **POP** Last week, two men, two former World Tag Team Champions took it upon themselves to attack me from behind, **heat** two men who decided to beat me down while I had my back turned, well listen up, Hurricane & Rosey, if you want a piece of the action, if you feel like you want to do some damage, then you don't need to look any further than right here in this ring. **POP** We're stood here waiting, so guys, if you both have a PROBLEM, then we have the SOLUTION!"

They stood waiting in the ring, when instead of the music hitting they waited upon, some different music started and the crowd popped as out walked the men who last week were in a thrilling tag team match, Chris Benoit and Tajiri. They walked out and down to the ring as they climbed inside. Benoit then took hold of a mic from Lillian.

Benoit: "Problem Solvers eh? Well I've been causing problems for the past twenty years, **Pop** now it doesn't look like your gonna get any action from who you wanted, so how about you get some against the tag team of me and Tajiri? You up for that!"

Tyson took hold of the mic from Benoit.

Tyson: "You want a title shot right now, you got it Chris, you see, we don't have any beef with you and Tajiri, but we also don't back down from any challenge, so if you wanna give us a Problem, then we will give you a SOLUTION!"

Benoit dominated from the start using his technical moves to keep Tomko down before tagging in Tajiri who continued using his Japanese kicks and shots until Tomko came back and took down Tajiri before tagging in Batista who dominated with his power on the smaller opponent. Tajiri tried coming back, and attempted a Tarantula on Batista but couldn't lock it in, before he was able to get a tag to Benoit who came in and took control back.

The ending came not too long after, as Tomko and Tajiri were back in the ring and Tomko attacked Tajiri before the tag to Batista who came in and worked on Tajiri's back. Benoit tried to get in but was knocked out the ring by Tomko who jumped inside, and then he climbed the turnbuckle as Batista picked Tajiri up and set him ready, with Tomko coming flying off with the Solution finisher as Batista covered for the pinfall.

The Problem Solvers started to celebrate, until Rosey and Hurricane came running down and slid in attacking the opponents from behind knocking them down. Hurricane and Rosey double teamed Tomko this time as Batista got knocked to the outside and then Rosey did a splash on Tomko from the 2nd turnbuckle before Batista came sliding back in just as Rosey and The Hurricane escaped and made their way back up the ramp, with Batista checking over his partner.

Hell In A Steel Cage?

As we came back, the lights went out and the eerie music started and out walked the World Heavyweight Champion, The Master Randy Orton. He stood at the top looking around at the fans who booed him before he walked down to the ring and climbed inside looking a little unhappy about last week's announcement regarding his match with Christian.

JR: "Randy Orton looks like he has something to say about Christian's challenge from last week, will he accept the challenge?"

Orton: "Last week, Christian **POP** challenged the Master, me, Randy Orton to a match at the upcoming Pay Per View Helloween. That challenge was for the World Heavyweight Championship, well Christian, you got your challenge alright, me and you, the belt on the line at Helloween in just over two weeks time inside of a Steel Cage, but remember this Christian, they don't call me the Master for nothing, I will get in your mind, I will play games with you and I will make you just another victim of the Gathering. Soon, you will be a nothing in this company, just another victim, another man who got beat by the Greatest World Heavyweight Champion this company and this show has ever seen. **heat** You may hold that 'Money In The Bank' contract, but you don't hold this title, and that's because you aren't the greatest Christian and you won't ever will be. And why? Because you won't ever be Great, you won't achieve the highest level that the Gathering gives me, two weeks Christian. Two weeks and we will see you take the most brutal assault in your career. Two weeks before you will finally bow down and look the real Champion in your eyes, and wish you hadn't challenged me to a match. The Steel Cage Christian, one of the most brutal matches this company can offer, the steel bars surrounding the ring, you have to win by climbing over the top or through the door. What I do promise you Christian, is that one of us will be leaving that ring, and one of us will be left bloody and battered inside, and I promise you Christian, that man standing outside, the man who will be holding aloft that World Heavyweight Championship, is the man standing in this ring right now, The Master of Destruction in this company, the one, the only, RANDY ORTON!"

Orton poses as he smiles to the fans.

The Mistress Prisoner

As Orton poses for the fans, the titantron comes on and we see Christian stood there to a pop from the fans, looking down on Orton.

Christian: "Hey, Orton, you remember me. I'm the man who in two weeks will be walking away as the New World Heavyweight Championship, your truly, The Peepmeister, Christian **POP**. But, I know your out there shouting your mouth off about how your the greatest, your the best champion ever, well, while you've been doing that Randy, I've been sat backstage talking, I've been talking to someone close to you, someone very close shall we say."

As he says that, he drags in by the arm, Randy Orton's wife, The Mistress of Darkness, Stacy Keibler who doesn't look happy and is struggling to try and get away.

JR: "Bah Gawd, Christian has a hold of Stacy."

Christian: "Randy, what you say, you don't mind if I have a sample of the merchandise do you?"

Christian smiles, before he grabs her face, and then he forces himself on her, kissing her as Randy looks on angrily, and looses it as he throws the mic to the ground and jumps out the ring running off as the screen still shows Christian kissing Stacy Keibler, Orton's wife.

Randy Orton disappeared backstage as the camera showed Christian letting go of Stacy who drops to the floor holding her face, wiping the taste of his lips from hers as Christian disappears from view. Suddenly, after a moment Randy Orton comes running down the corridor as he sees Stacy sitting on the floor crying at what just happened.

Randy ran over and crouched down to help Stacy, when Stacy screamed and Randy jumped up to be met by right hands from Christian who was stood waiting for Orton to appear. Christian took it to Orton and threw him against the walls and into some boxes backstage, as Stacy screamed on. Christian then got ready, as he picked Orton up who was struggling, and he smiled at him, before he locked it in place, and as the crowd were ready to pop for him, he smashed Randy Orton down in a Un-Prettier down on the concrete floor. Christian got to his feet as Stacy moved over to take hold of Orton who was out cold and Christian smiled down on his beaten opponent.

Christian: "When he wakes up, tell him, to say goodbye to being the champion, because in two weeks, he will be crowning a new World Heavyweight Champion, in the Peep's Champion, Christian. That's, 'Money In The Bank'!"

Christian walked off leaving Stacy to care for her husband Randy Orton who was still out cold from the assault.

JR: "What an assault, Orton is out cold still and Christian looks like he is ready already for his World Heavyweight Championship Match at Helloween, will Orton be able to comeback from this."

Evolution's Young Talent

Backstage we found the newest member of Raw, 'The Real Heartbreak Kid' Michael Shane as he makes his way down the corridor before he bumps into none other than 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair.

Flair: "Whoooo, why if it isn't the next biggest superstar on Raw, whoooo!"

Shane: "You talking to me Ric, hell, you must be coz they're is no one else as good as me on this show."

Flair: "Hey, listen up kid, you may think your good, but your no where near as good as the Ten Times Champion Triple H, and your nowhere near as good as the Sixteen Time Champion, whooo, the Nature Boy, whoooo, Ric Flair, WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Shane: "Your kidding me right, me not better than you or Triple H, who are you trying to kid?"

Flair: "Well, you could be just as good, listen up, how about me and you have a little talk, you see we are always looking for talent in Evolution, and I think you may have what it takes to be one of us!"

Shane: "One of us? What are you, gay or something Ric?"

Ric Flair's face lights up and he looks at Michael Shane in anger.

Flair: "Hey BOY, I was wrestling when you were still in diapers, so I'd watch who your talking to, your talking to the wheelin' dealing, kiss stealing, jet flying, limousine riding..."

Shane: "Most useless and pathetic excuse for a wrestler they ever has been."

Flair gets furious at this and he rips off his jacket to a nice pop from the fans. Suddenly from around the corridor walked Chris Jericho who walked towards the action that was taking place and he stood next to Shane.

Jericho: "What's going on here, Ric, oh let me guess, Flair thought he would take it upon himself to invite you to become a member of Evolution, right?"

Shane: "Evolution, that's a joke!" **Jericho and Shane laugh**

Flair: "HEY, this is Ric Flair your talking to, I suggest you shut your mouths and listen when the Nature Boy is about, whoooo!"

As Flair went to do another of his trademark whooo's, Michael Shane slapped him right across the face which staggered him back. Flair rubbed his face and then went to attack Shane but Jeirhco intervened.

Jericho: "Hey Ric, what's the problem, he's only done what everyone wants to, and that's to SHUT YOU THE HELL UP! I tell you what, you wanna piece of the greatest wrestler on Raw? You want to hear some Sweet Chin Music, then why don't we do it right now, inside the ring Ric, if you have the balls for it, WHOOOOOO!"

Jericho and Shane laughed as they walked off leaving Flair in a fit of rage, his face bright red and he started kicking his jacket which was on the floor.

Watch The Revolution

A video aired next of what took place last week, with The Revolution and The Arab-Americans getting into a fight inside the ring which resulted in a double dq for both Hassan and Daivari, and annouced tonight, Hassan's friend, Ansari would be in action as he meets Rhyno in the Semi-Final of the World Television Championship Tournament!

OR: 56.7%

JR: "Folks, get ready because as you saw just before we went to the break, Michael Shane, the man who is the cousin of Shawn Michaels, the man who Chris Jericho brought onto Raw just last week slapped, yes that's right, he slapped Ric Flair backstage and we have been told that right now we have a match between Ric Flair and 'The Real Heartbreak Kid' Michael Shane."

Ric Flair vs 'The Real Heartbreak Kid' Michael Shane

The match was made after Michael Shane slapped Ric Flair earlier, and Flair came out to a huge pop from the fans, before the Heartbreak Kids music hit, and out walked accompanied by Chris Jericho, Michael Shane dressed like the old HBK. He made his way down to the ring looking cocky in his attitude before he climbed inside and the match got underway.

Flair tried every trick in the book to keep control over his younger opponent, who almost got several pins on the Legend before the final act came around. Flair had Shane locked in the Figure 4 Leglock when Jericho jumped onto the apron to distract the ref, which broke the hold from Flair. Flair went over and knocked down Jericho as the referee tried getting him down, and he turned to a waiting Michael Shane, who was ready and smacked him in the face with some Sweet Chin Music as Flair dropped back and down, allowing Shane to cover and pick up the pinfall on the Sixteen Time Champion to the disagreement of the crowd.

Shane jumped outside and helped Jericho up as they made their way up the ramp looking down on Flair who was just coming back to with the ref's help.

After the match we went backstage, where we found Maria walking down the corridor when out stepped The Coach who was hiding to stop her.

Coach: "Maria, I'm glad I have found you, listen up, about last week, you know it was a joke right, it was an accident I mean, I never meant to spill the drink on you and ruin your dress, you understand that right?"

Maria: "Oh that, yeah forget about it Coach, I have."

Coach: "So, it's not a problem, right, by any chance have you **coughs as he looks around nervously** spoken to Kane about it? You know, kind of told him it was an accident."

Maria: "Yeah, don't worry Coach, I spoke to Kane, and he's ok about it all, I told him it wasn't your fault and he's ok about it, don't worry he's not looking for you!"

Coach: "HE ISN'T? I mean, he isn't? Ok, coz you know I would have taken him if he kept coming for me like that, The Coach don't run from anyone. **tries acting tough to impress Maria** Listen, so you and Kane are like, an item now?"

Maria: "Oh no, me and Kane, come on, he's just a friend, why Coach?"

Coach: "Well, **tries to be smooth**, what about me and you go and get a bite to eat, you know, I'll even let you pay, what you say?"

Maria: "Sure, I just need to get my things, their in the locker room, why don't you come in for a minute!"

Coach smiles believing he's in luck here and follows Maria into the dressing room as he closed the door behind him. Suddenly after a moment, a lot of crashing and screams are heard from inside, and then silence after about 30 seconds of noise, when the door opens and out walks Maria carrying her bag she went to collect, and the crowd then popped as out walked following her, Kane.

Maria smiled along with Kane as she reached up and kissed him on the cheek for what he just did, and they walked off down the corridor, as the camera turned around and we saw the locker room in a complete mess, with chairs everywhere and then we saw Coach laying down in the centre, unconciouss at what looks a beating he just took.

The Masterpiece

Elsewhere backstage we found Todd Grisham standing by with a mic in his hand.

Todd: "Ladies and Gentleman, I am standing next to the man who next week will be taking part in the second semi-final of the World Television Championship Tournament, I am of course talking about Chris Masters."

Masters walks into view of the camera standing at the side of Todd but doesn't look happy.

Masters: "Wait a minute, first up, address me by who I am, I am 'The Masterpiece', I am a picture of perfection, when people look at me they realise that God created the Perfect Specimen, a wonderfully crafted body with a million dollar brain of which everyone else was to be taken from, but it seems somewhere down the line after he created me, he seems to have failed, I mean, for once, these people in where are we?"

Todd: "We're in Quebec!"

Masters: "Quebec, what kind of a name is that? Are we in France, I don't think so, so why have a stupid name like Quebec, I mean, do these people even speak American?"

Todd: "Actually Chris, they are French-Canadian, and we are in Canada."

Masters: "French-Canadian, what's wrong with being just French, or being just Canadian, you see Todd, this is why the world is changing, because we have cross-breeds like Quebec, **heat**. So we're in Canada right, the home of the Mapleleafs, **POP**, the home of Bret Hart **POP**, no wonder this place has a bad reputation. You just have to look at these people to see it, they have no class in Quebec **heat**, they have no style, not like A Masterpiece, I can only thank god I am not out there tonight to listen or even look at these, these, people who don't deserve to see someone who's such a work of art inside this building **heat**, you know Todd, people pay to go and see something like me, but I bet half of these people didn't even pay to get in this arena, they probably can't afford it."

Todd: "Well, getting back to why your here, next week you will be facing Eugene **pop** in a semi-final match to see who will meet either Rhyno or Ansari in the Final."

Masters: "Eugene, the world's greatest buffoon. Who does he think he is, he acts like Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock **POP**, and he dresses like a four year old child. Next week, I will show Eugene a lesson in the art of Wrestling, next week we will witness a Masterpiece in action."

World Television Championship Semi-Final:

Rhyno vs Ansari

The music hit to the heat from the fans, and out walked the Arab-Americans, Ameera with 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan and the man involved in the match, Ansari. They walked down to the ring as Ansari climbed inside ready for his match, while Hassan and Ameera walked around the ring smiling as they carried their titles they held.

The music then hit to a nice pop, and out ran Rhyno as he made his way down to the ring and slid inside before he immediately attacked Ansari taking him down and working on him from the start.

Rhyno dominated most of the match, before Hassan was able to interfere, as Ameera distracted the ref, and Hassan used his 'Allah' Championship to smash into Rhyno who fell back and collapse in the ring, before Ansari covered, as the ref turned and made the count for the three and the victory as Ansari picked up the win and was through to the Final of the Tournament.

They stood at the top of the ramp with Matt holding a mic and Hassan looking unhappy at this interuption.

Hardy: "Hassan, the Revolution is still going strong, and last week we showed that you may try and knock us down, but you can't knock us out. **pop** This is America, the greatest country in the world, and next week, The Revolution is putting up a challenge, it will be me and Lita challenging you, 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan and your slut of a friend, Ameera to a Tag Team match.

Shock To The System

As we returned from the break, we found Damien stood in the ring, holding a mic as the fans gave a mixed reaction, before he got ready to speak.

Damien: "For the past few weeks, I have done what has been needed in this company, what is needed on Raw, and that is to make my father, Vince McMahon come to his senses and realise he is not needed anymore, I have shown him the evidence that he needs to see, the proof that he didn't finish what he started, and tonight, I want my father, my own flesh and blood to come out here and offer his resignation that he finally has told me he will give. So, DAD, come on out and do the right thing, do what is needed, finally get down and bow down to the real DEAL!"

As he waits, the music hits 'No Chance' and out walks in business suit, Vince McMahon, as he walks down to the ring in his trademark strut and stomps up the steps before climbing inside and goes and takes hold of a mic from Lillian at ringside. Damien goes to hug his father but he pushes him away.

Damien: "Father, you don't have a hug for your own son, for your own flesh and blood!"

Vince: "You may be my son, you may be my own flesh and blood, but you will never be a McMAHON! **POP** After the evidence you have shown me Damien, well, maybe I should say the lies, and deceit you have tried to force my hand into giving you the company I built, the company I created, well it won't work."

Damien: "Lies, Deceit, Vince, Father, if it is Lies and Deceit, then you need look no further than yourself. For years you have lied about yourself, about your past, still remember Dad, the days you came and visited, the time you spent with my mother, and the presents you gave me. Do you remember them dad, do you remember the time we spent together, when you used to treat me as a piece of garbage, you threw me around like a rag doll, you beat me just because I cried, you were nothing more than a bastard Vince, you never cared about me, you never cared about my mother, you use people just like you have used this company and the people on this show for your own sick gains, well it will finally stop Father, I have what it takes to stop you."

Vince: "Why do you lie Damien, I have given you everything you have ever wanted, I gave you the most precious thing in this world, LIFE, and yet you come out here, lie about me and start these sick rumours hoping that you can get into my head, hoping that you will destroy my family, but it won't work, you see, I am VINCENT KENNEDY MCMAHON DAMNIT, I am the creator, the Genius behind Raw and the WWE, and I don't care what you come out and say, you don't have anything on me because there is nothing there to FIND!"

Damien: "How can you say that Father, I have shown you the evidence, the photograph, the video last week, what more do you need."

Vince: "That, that, that rubbish, them lies, them tapes that you made, you created just to try and fool me, to trick me into doing what you want, what do you take me for, a fool? I know what happened to your mother Damien, I was there, I saw it happen, so I suggest you get the hell out of my ring before I make you!" **POP**

Damien: "So you were there, it's true what she told me then?"

Vince: "What she told you, what are you talking about?"

Damien: "I have been speaking to my mother Dad, I've been talking about everything that happened, the way you used her, the way you treated her, you were right what you said Dad, I could never be a McMahon, because, I don't want to be one, to know the truth about you is what this world should know, but this isn't for me to say, my mother has plans for you, she has plans for what will happen to you."

Vince: "Plans, what are you talking about kid, your mother has been dead for over 20 years, I even saw her on the slab in that mortuary, so don't try and say sick things about her, when I know the truth. You can't trick a McMahon Damien."

Damien: "I'm not trying to trick you, I just want the world to see the Real Vince, the real Vincent Kennedy McMahon. The man who did this to me, **showing off his scarred face**, the man who locked me away when I was still young, putting me in a room with no windows, being unable to see my own mother so you could carry on your lies. That is just part of the real Vince, but you want the truth Vince, you want the real truth, my mother isn't dead Vince, she never was, you see, she escaped just like me, and she has been hiding knowing her life was in danger if she ever came out and told people who she was, but I found her, and soon she will come walking down this ring, and look you in the eyes and you will see the fire that is burning inside of her, you will see the pain and suffering that you have caused us."

Vince: "You know what, I am getting sick of all of this, Damien, you can say all these lies and you can try and show me videos and evidence which I know doesn't exist, but it's about time you got to come to terms with what happened, and if you don't then there is nothing more I can do for you."

Damien: "Not lies Vince, the TRUTH. Soon you will see for yourself, but I still want you gone Vince, I want you gone from my life, gone from this company, which is why I am here, I have come up with something myself, something which I think you need to consider. In just over two weeks, we are having a Pay Per View, something which you have called, Helloween, well on that night, I challenge you Vince, Father, to a match. A match made in Hell, a match in which there can only be one winner, and that winner will get it all Father, a match that will be the end of one of us."

Vince: "Your challenging me, The Great Vince McMahon to a match."

Damien: "That's right, all on the line Father, me and you, one on one, no interference, no rules, no forgiveness. The winner, well they will get what they want, if you win, then I, Damien, Leader of the Gathering, your own flesh and blood, your son, will leave this company forever, never to be seen in the WWE again. **POP as Vince smiles at this thought** But if you, Father, Vince, loses, then you will sign over the company, you will give up your position in the WWE, and you will never step foot on this show again without my permission. Everything you own shall be mine, your Raw, your company, your life, YOUR SOUL!"

Vince: "So If I win, you will be gone, never to be seen in this company again, let me think about that, **Vince thinks for about a second before he reacts**. YOUR ON **POP** In two weeks at Helloween, it will be Vince McMahon vs Damien, Father vs Son, and it will be No Holds Barred!"

Damien smiles at this and he casually makes his way out the ring as he walks off up the ramp at finally getting what he wanted. He stops at the top of the ramp and turns to look down at his Father, Vince standing in the ring grinning at the thought of finally getting rid of his unknown son off Raw once and for all.

Damien: "Father, in two weeks you shall look into the belly of the beast, and you shall bear witness to the Gathering and all it's power. FOR I, DAMIEN, LEADER OF THE GATHERING, THE MASTER OF THE DARKNESS, WILL FINALLY DO WHAT NO ONE ELSE HAS BEEN ABLE TO!"

As he said that, Damien raised his hands, and to the shock of the fans, and Vince stood in the ring, some lightening came flashing down and struck the four ringposts as suddenly the ring ropes themselves caught fire, and Vince looked around as he got surrounded by the ropes on fire from hell.

Damien: "WELCOME TO HELL FATHER!"

Damien laughed as Vince looked concerned at the ring on fire around him as the screen showed the ring heading to the closure.

WWE Raw News Headlines:

SUPERSTAR LEAVES?

The WWE has confirmed that Tajiri has left the company after a new contract was not offered since his current one has just expired. Tajiri who hasn't been used as of much lately made his final appearance on the last Raw being beaten by The Problem Solvers along with Chris Benoit as his Tag Team Partner. One other factor could be Tajiri's age? At the age of 35, the company has been heading towards pushing more of the younger talent with having released several older superstars not long ago.

Superstar Stays!

The WWE has stated that Superstar The Hurricane has signed an extension to his contract which was close to running out and he will remain with the company for the forseable future. Hurricane, who is currently involved with Rosey against The Problem Solvers has been on and off the shows over the last few months while being involved in the Gathering Storyline which is still being run. Hurricane held the World Tag Team Titles along with Rosey back in April beating Tajiri & William Regal (both who have now left the company) and lost the titles a month later to Ric Flair and Triple H.

Monday 17th October 2005

Attendance: 2,667

TV Audience: 846,694 viewers (down by 31,574)

The show kicked off with the final moments of last weeks Raw, as we saw Damien challenging his father, Vince McMahon to a match at Helloween, before we see him stood at the top of the ramp looking down before some lightening came down and hit the ringposts as the ring ropes caught fire, and we saw Vince stood inside a flaming ring surrouned before the credits rolled and we then saw the fans in the audience before joining Jim Ross at ringside.

JR: "Welcome to Raw. We are coming to you Live from Pennsylvania and tonight we have some great matches for you. Our Main Event will feature a rematch of Summerslam last year when we crowned the youngest ever champion in Randy Orton who will once again go up against Chris Benoit in a non-title match. Also, 'The Real Heartbreak Kid' Michael Shane will square off against Triple H in one of his toughest matches to date, while we will see who just will meet Ansari in the final of the World Television Championship Tournement, will it be Eugene or the Masterpiece, we'll find out tonight."

Father vs Son?

As Jim Ross finished speaking the music played, 'No Chance' and out walked the owner and General Manager of Raw, Vince McMahon as he walked out in a business suit. He stood at the top of the ramp looking around to a nice pop from the fans before he made his way down the ring in his trademark swagger of a walk before he stomped up the steps and climbed inside, walking over to take hold of a mic from Lillian at ringside.

Vince: "In about two weeks time, at the Pay Per View, Helloween, we will finally see the end of one man, one man who has come into this promotion and caused nothing but trouble, one man who's mission it seemed was to destroy me, the man who gave life to him, the man who did everything he could to provide for him and take care of him, and yet, this is how I get repaid. For weeks now, my son, and believe me when I say it pains me to say that, Damien, has tried to make me retire from this show, this company that I helped build into what it is today. All the lies, the deceit, the video tapes of your so called mother, and the woman who I once had an affair with, tapes which you obviously recorded either a long time ago, or made up because I know just like my wife does that your mother died a long time ago now. Damien, in two weeks the time will come for you to finally come to terms with who you are, and to come to terms with who I am, I may be your father, you may be my flesh and blood, but you will never, and I mean never be a McMahon. To be a McMahon, you have to have a heart, and it's obvious you don't have one, especially with what you have done in this company. In two weeks, I will finally lay to rest something I should have a long time ago, and that is you Damien. In two weeks, you will finally be gone from my life forever."

Vince smiled at this thought, when he was interupted by the darkening of the arena, and the eerie music hit as out walked wearing his trademark long black robe, Damien. He stood at the top of the ramp looking down on his father with mic in hand.

Damien: "Father, in two weeks someone will finally be gone from their lives, but it won't be me. In two weeks, at Helloween, it will be the moment that every superstar will savour, when you, Vincent Kennedy McMahon, the man who created Raw, the man who built the WWE will finally bow down in front of the man who will take the company into the next era. You father, you will finally bow down in front of the Great Lord, you will bow down at my knees and beg for mercy, for forgiveness for your crimes against me and my family, and you will do it in front of millions of people. The darkness has arrived Vince, the power, the energy that drives me to destroy you and your family will become a reality at Helloween."

Battle Next Week?

After Damien finished speaking, Vince was ready to comeback with more comments.

Vince: "We will find out Damien in two weeks, but I think, the fans deserve something before then, which is why, seems I am the General Manager still around here, and will be for quite a while yet, then next week Live on Raw, we are gonna have a Tag Team Match. You see, at Helloween, they will be two battles going down, and next week, that battle will commence, when it will be you, Damien and your friend who you helped capture the World Heavyweight Championship, The Master Randy Orton, and you both will be meeting inside the ring, the challenger at Helloween for the title, Christian **POP**, and his tag team partner, **pauses as he thinks for a moment**, ME, VINCENT KENNEDY McMAHON."

JR: "BAH GAWD, next week folks, Damien and The Master Randy Orton will be facing Christian and our very own Vince McMahon."

Damien looks down in shock at this match made for next week, just one week before their battle for power in the company before he brings the mic to his face as he speaks.

Damien: "Vince, next week, me and The Master will show you and Christian that we hold the power around here, and then, at Helloween, we will pay witness to the greatest World Heavyweight Champion in history, The Master Randy Orton once again prove to the world that no one can touch him, when he will beat Christian and then your life will be in my hands Vince, and I promise you that you will finally remember your past and you will beg for FORGIVENESS!"

Hurricane and Rosey took on The Briscoe Bros in an exciting opening match, with the Briscoe's getting some close calls before Hurricane got a tag to Rosey who used his power to destroy both of the opponents. It ended with slamming down Mark Briscoe, followed by a tag to Hurricane who flew off Rosey stood in the corner of the turnbuckle for his own splash and covered for the pinfall.

As Hurricane and Rosey celebrated, some hard hitting music hit, and out ran the World Tag Team Champions, 'The Problem Solvers', as Batista and Tomko ran down to the ring and slid in before Hurricane and Rosey attacked them as they slid under the bottom rope. After picking both men up and sending them to the ropes, both Batista and Tomko came back with a clothesline, knocking down Hurricane and Rosey to a good pop from the fans. Both started to 'hulk up' in a way, and turned to each give a thumbs up to thumbs down on their opposition. They went to pick up Hurricane and Rosey but it was too late as they rolled out under the bottom rope and escaped just in time as they made their way up the ramp, leaving Batista and Tomko to look on, calling for them to return and finish what they started.

Not Fit To Take Part!

After the video, the mood changed as the heat started up and the music hit of the Arab-Americans as out walked Ameera and Ansari to the hatred of the crowd, with Ameera carrying her Women's Belt and also the 'Allah' Championship. They stood at the top of the ramp and looked around before turning back and looking for 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan who made his entrance, but not as it seemed. He walked out on crutches, with his foot in bandage as he hobbled onto the stage area looking around at the booing raining down on the team. They walked down to the ring with Hassan using the crutches to make his way down and stopped outside as Ameera took hold of the crutches and Hassan climbed onto the ring apron and rolled under the ropes before Ameera handed the crutches to Ansari who was now inside and helping Hassan to his feet before he placed his hands back on the crutches and hobbled to the center of the ring with Ameera joining them as Ansari took hold of a mic and handed it to Hassan.

Hassan: "Tonight, Live on Raw, here in, wherever this discriminating US state is, **heat**, I, 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan was scheduled to be involved in a tag team match along with my friend and colleague Ameera, to take on those people, those Revolutionaries who have taken it upon themselves to rid this company of us Arab-Americans. **pop** Well as you can see, due to an injury I picked up this week, I am unable to compete in this match, **heat**. You may hate me, but you cannot deny the pain I am suffering as I stand here in this ring, **heat**, my leg was badly injured a few days ago and I have been informed by my doctor, my own Arab-American Doctor because I don't trust your American Doctors **heat**, I have been informed that I will be unable to compete. Now, this doesn't mean that match has been cancelled, because my friend, my associate who has paved the way for future Arab-Americans in speaking the truth on this show, Ansari, will take my place in tonight's match, and they will beat down these two Revolution members, Matt Hardy and Lita **POP**, tonight, we will see the future World Television Champion in action for which you should all be getting down and be grateful for bearing witness to greatness in this town finally." **HEAT**

As he said that, Ansari took hold of the mic and got ready to speak.

Ansari: "Tonight, in front of all you 'PEOPLE', all you typical American's, you will see the end of a Revolution, you will see the end of every man's hope of making us quiet, because the last I heard this was a free country, free to speak the truth, to tell the world about how you 'people' lie and cheat your way to power, how you do anything you can to destroy all those around you just so you can get to the top, unilke us Arab-Americans, where I, Ansari, will step into the 'Great' Muhammad's shoes, and just like he would have done, I will help finish Matt Hardy along with our friend Ameera who will destory Lita. Tonight the Revolution will end!"

JR: "Well folks, we still have a match but 'The Great' Muhammad has had to pull out of being involved and Ansari will take his place in this mixed tag team match."

Matt Hardy & Lita vs Ansari & Ameera

As Ansari and Ameera waited, the music hit, 'Its time for a Revolution' and the fans popped as out walked Matt Hardy and Lita to the delight of the fans. They walked down the ramp with Hardy pointing at Hassan who was still stood in the ring holding onto his clutches, before Hardy and Lita climbed inside.

As they climbed in Ameera attacked Lita while Ansari went to attack Hardy but got met with punches back as the Revolution fought back, and eventually cleaned the ring of the two opponents. After that Hardy saw the opportunity, as he grabbed Hassan who hobbled about, and then he went and threw him head first over the top rope crashing down on Ansari outside the ring to a pop from the fans.

Eventually the match got started, and Lita and Ameera began, with Lita dominating from the start. After a while, Ansari was in the ring taking a beating from Matt Hardy when Ameera went and attacked Lita which caused the ref to be distracted on the outside of the ring. This allowed Hassan to jump into the ring to the heat from the fans as he took hold of one of his crutches and smashed it against the back of Matt Hardy who crashed down onto the mat, before Hassan slid out under the ropes and posed for the fans on the outside for what he just did, before Ansari went and made the cover, and the ref turned to make the pinfall. Lita tried climbing in but was held back by Ameera until it was too late and the ref called for the bell awarding the victory to Ameera and Ansari.

Ansari, Ameera and Hassan made their way up the ramp, with Hassan holding one of his crutches, with the other being used to smash against the back of Hardy, and acted like he still had a bad foot as they celebrated at the top of the ramp with Lita checking on Matt Hardy inside the ring.

The Fat Interviewer!

Backstage we found Maria standing by with Simon Dean who was taking a drink of his Simon System Milkshake before he finished and wiped his mouth smiling at the camera.

Maria: "Simon Dean, you have been here for a number of months now, and yet to make an impact on Raw, do you have any comments about this?"

Dean: "Comments about it, listen up, fatty, **Maria looks shocked at being called fat**, my name is Simon Dean, I invented the Simon System, a one way trip to removing all the fat that all these Americans have. **heat** I mean, look at you Maria, I mean come on, have you ever heard the word, NO, I bet your the type who when theres a slice of chocolate cake left on the plate, your the first one in there wanting it, right, you just have to look at those legs, look at the fat on them. **Maria looks at her legs and doesn't understand what he's talking about** And that waist, please, now if you take one of my Simon System Shakes every day, then maybe, and I have to say maybe with someone like you, then there's a slim chance you may lose some of the blubber you are wearing."

Maria: "I'm not fat, I actually like my figure!"

Maria does a twirl in her outfit to the pop of the men in the crowd.

Dean: "Do you want my help or not? You see, all these American's, they are the reason I haven't been succesfull yet, because they like being fat and overweight, you know, maybe we should rename this place, the Fatty States of America, **heat as Simon smiles**."

Maria: "Hasn't it been proved, that in fact your Simon System don't work?"

Dean: "What, WHAT! Listen up, fatso, some people did some stupid experiment using some of my System, but it was never actually proved it was my stuff that did the damage to those people, you know they tried other products as well as mine, and if you don't watch your mouth then I will get my lawyer onto you. I mean, look at you, you've obviously tried my system and your still as ugly as can be."

Simon Dean takes hold of another of his drinks and opens it, he goes to drink it as he looks at Maria, but then stops and turns it upside down over Maria who gets soaked by the Simon Sysyem Milkshake he pours over her, before he laughs.

Dean: "Now that's what I call, a Dumb Shake."

Simon walks off leaving Maria stood soaking wet once again Live on Raw.

World Television Championship Tournament Semi-Final:

Eugene vs Chris 'The Masterpiece' Masters

First out to some heat, came Chris Masters in his trademark entrance, as he made his way down to the ring and awaited his opponent, as the fans popped and out came Eugene waving to the fans. The match eventually got started with Eugene starting some funny moments which upset Masters who eventually got mad and started to beat up Eugene. This went on for a while before Eugene started to get mad himself as his head got smashed into the turnbuckle, and he eventually fought back attacking Masters with his own fightback.

As Eugene was in control once again, he went to his a Rock Bottom on Masters which connected, and Masters layed in the center of the ring and ran to the ropes and came back for a People's Elbow but Masters moved out the way just in time as Eugene crashed to the mat. Masters then took the opportunity and he waited for Eugene to get to his feet, before he was able to lock in the Masterlock on Eugene who started to fade away, and eventually the ref checked on him before calling for the bell, and awarding the victory for Chris 'The Masterpiece' Masters who went through to the final to meet Ansari.

JR: "As you have just seen, Michael Shane has taken it to Val Venis and last week he beat Ric Flair, well right now he will be going up against his toughest challenge to date, Triple H."

'The Real Heartbreak Kid' Michael Shane vs Triple H

'Its Time To Play The Game' hit around the arena, and out walked to a mixed reaction carrying his bottle of water, Triple H. He stood at the top and looked down on the ground, before taking a drink and then making his way down to the ring walking around the side and climbing onto the ring apron, taking another drink and throwing the bottle into the crowd. He did his trademark entrace on the ring apron spitting water in the air and looking at the camera, before climbing inside and awaiting his opponent.

'Im a Sexy boy' then hit to a pop from the fans, and out walked in full HBK gear, 'The Real Heartbreak Kid' Michael Shane. He walked down a few steps and looked around before he stopped, and raised his arms as pyros exploded behind him before they stopped and he continued making his way down to the ring and climbed inside.

The match eventually got started and got some good pops from the fans, with Shane giving as good as he gets, as he fought back Triple H, until he made the mistake, and Triple H was ready, as he hit a kick to the gut and locked Shane in ready to some heat from the fans, before he hit a Pedigree on Michael Shane, and went for the cover.

As the ref counted, some music hit to the pop from the fans and to the shock of Triple H who got to his feet as the ref stopped the count on two. The music played of Shelton Benjamin as Triple H moved to the ropes looking around for him, in anger.

There was no show from Shelton though, as Triple H continued to look on at the top of the ramp as the music stopped, and this allowed Shane to get back to his feet. Triple H backed up a few steps and turned around as he got met with some Sweet Chin Music of the Superkick by Michael Shane before he covered and the ref counted for the three awarding the victory to Michael Shane who escaped out the ring and made his way up the ramp, leaving a fuming Triple H in the ring.

World Champion's Challenge!

Backstage we found Todd Grisham standing by stood alongside The Master Randy Orton clutching onto hit World title belt.

Todd: "Randy, coming up next you will be in action in a rematch from Summerslam last year against none other than the Rabid Wolverine, Chris Benoit. **POP**"

Orton: "That's right Todd, a rematch, Summerslam 2004, the moment the world stood up and took notice of the Youngest, did you hear that, THE YOUNGEST World Heavyweight Champion in history. A lot has happened since then though, but look at me now, I am back as the World Heavyweight Champion no matter what anyone throws at me. Tonight, Chris Benoit will be facing me in that ring, and once again I will show why I am the best, and then, next week, seems Vince has decided to play about with matches once more, I will be teaming up with the man who will soon be the owner of Raw, and the Leader of the Gathering, Damien when we face not only Vince, but the man who for the past few weeks, since he won that 'Money In The Bank' contract thinks he deserves a title shot. He's not only attacked me, but he dare to lay his hands on my wife, The Mistress of Darkness Stacy Keibler. Well next week Christian, they'll be nowhere to hide, nowhere to run, but all you will be able to do is pray, pray that I end it quickly because you will bow down to the greater man at Helloween, and you will pay for your crimes against what you have done to me."

JR: "We are back for the final time folks, and we are set for a great match, a rematch from Summerslam last year, it's Randy Orton taking on Chris Benoit, right now Live on Raw."

Non-Title Match:

'The Master' Randy Orton vs Chris Benoit

Benoit came out first to a huge pop from the fans as he made his way to the ring and awaited his opponent. The lights dimmed down, and the eerie music started up, as out walked the World Heavyweight Champion, The Master Randy Orton who walked out dressed in his long black robe with hood up over his face. He stood there for a moment, before he removed the hood to show his face and slowly walked down to the ring before climbing inside opening his robe to reveal his World Title he still holds.

The match then got underway and was a great technical bout with Benoit taking a beating at first from Orton who worked over Benoit's arms, before making a mistake of ducking a clothesline from Benoit and thinking he had got away with it, only for Benoit to come back off the ropes and knock Orton down from behind with an arm to the back of the head. The ref checked on Orton thinking he was out cold, but he was still ready to go on, as Benoit got down and locked in a Crippler Crossface, only for Orton to escape being too close to the ring ropes as the hold got broke and he slid outside.

Orton walked around the outside trying to get back to his senses from the assault, as Benoit had enough and slid out after him, chasing him around the ring before Orton slid back inside and Benoit followed to be met by kicks to his back as Orton took control from then on.

Orton continued the attack on Benoit for a while longer, and sent him crashing into the turnbuckle shoulder first as he came staggering out. Randy Orton was ready behind, waiting for him to turn around as he did, and he went for the finisher, only for Benoit to grab Orton's arm and take him down once again, locking in another Crippler Crossface in the center of the ring.

As Orton tried to escape, he struggled to make it towards the ropes, but Benoit kept rolling him back inside the center of the ring until he eventually the final time made it as he got his fingertips onto the ropes as the ref called for the break which Benoit eventually did after a four count. The ref talked to Benoit about it, as Orton climbed to his feet struggling with Benoit coming from behind and hitting a German Supplex, as Orton layed in the center of the ring.

Benoit called the slow cut throat, as he walked over and outside the ring climbing to the top turnbuckle, as he got ready to fly and came off but Orton moved at the last second, as Benoit hit the mat hard and clutched onto his head in agony. Orton slowly got to his feet, and turned to call for Benoit to climb, as he did and he turned to be met this time by an RKO from the World Heavyweight Champion, who then covered and picked up a victory as the hand hit the mat for three, with Lillian announcing Randy Orton as the winner.

As the ref handed the belt back to Orton, who stood in the ring against the ropes raising his title looking down at Benoit who he had beaten, when at the top of the ramp out walked the challenger for the upcoming match at Helloween, Christian. He stood at the top of the ramp looking down on the Champion, who noticed him after a moment and moved to the ropes looking back in a staredown between the two.

JR: "Randy Orton picks up an impressive victory, but next week folks, it will be Randy Orton and Damien taking on Christian and Vince McMahon, what will happen, who will survive as we head into Helloween?"

The show ended with a shot of Randy Orton looking up at Christian smiling down on the Champion.

As JR finished speaking, the music hit around the arena to a mixed reaction, 'Its time to play the Game' as out walked in full business suit, carrying his trademark water bottle which he took a drink of before he made his way down to the ring and climbed inside, taking one last drink and throwing it into the crowd, as he posed for the fans inside before taking hold of a mic waiting for him.

HHH: "For the past few weeks, someone has been playing with my mind, playing mind games, well it stops right here, right now. I am sick of this charade, this pathetic way of trying to make me, the greatest champion in the history of this company, trying to make me go crazy, trying to show me up in front of all these idiots in this arena **heat**. Last month, I did something, something which I still don't regret, and that was to beat the living hell out of Shelton Benjamin **pop**. I paid him, I paid him money to go and never return to Raw, to disappear and he has done that well, while I suffered the consequences of his disappearance, the accusations, the looks of all you people and everyone backstage that I, Triple H, may have killed another Superstar, that I may have done what no one think would be possible, to be arrested, and almost thrown in jail for a crime I didn't commit, well Shelton, I applaud you. **Triple H claps for a moment**. You've played the Game well Shelton, you have turned everyone, all these fans, all those superstars, and even my friends against me, they believe I have gone insane, well the truth is, I know your around Shelton, I can feel you watching me as I speak right now. Well, this message is for you Shelton, something I want you to take note of, listen to me very carefully, because this thing between us, this game you have been playing with my mind, it has only made me stronger, and since this Sunday we are gonna be having a Pay Per View, 'Helloween', then let's get it on Shelton. That's right, I know your watching me and I am challenging you to a match this Sunday, me and you Shelton, one on one, no more mind games, no more excuses, I want my revenge for what you have put me through for the last few weeks. I will be there, live at 'Helloween' and I will be waiting for your answer, but if you don't show, then I will find you Shelton, the world is finally gonna see Triple H do what he has been unable to do since you arrived here on Raw, and that is to finally beat you, one, two, three in the center of this ring. See you at Helloween Shelton, where it will be the last moment you see in your life!"

As Triple H finished speaking, he dropped the mic and headed towards the ropes and started to climb out whent the titantron came on. A video aired over it, it showed the moments of Shelton Benjamin beating Triple H on every occasion they met, and then it showed the alleged murder of Shelton from the Raw Special that took place. The screen then went black, as a picture of Shelton showed up, with the words R.I.P below the picture, and then it faded away, and the screen changed to some words which showed up on the screen.

"Sunday 30th October 2005:

Kane w/ Maria vs Simon Dean

This match was made after what Dean did last week, and he was first out, and started to upset the crowd claiming how he could make anyone fit, apart from anyone in the town they were in when the pyros flames came on, and out walked Kane accompanied by Maria. They walked down to the ring and climbed inside, as Simon Dean tried apologising to Kane and Maria for what he did last week, claiming he was under a great deal of stress, and he had something for Kane to help him, handing over a Simon Dean Health Bar. Kane looked at it, and unwrapped it taking a bite, before he smiled at Simon Dean who looked happy, until Kane's face turned to a frown and Simon Dean looked on in shock, when Kane attacked knocking him down.

Kane then gave a brutal assault to Simon Dean as he got shot around the ring, and at one stage, he called Maria who was standing outside cheering Kane on upto the apron, as Kane held Dean and Maria slapped him right in the face, as he staggered back, and then he turned to be met by Kane's grip to the throat, and the chokeslam as Kane covered and picked up the victory.

Kane climbed outside and he and Maria walked back up the ramp to celebrate the victory as the ref checked on Simon Dean.

Non-Title Match:

The Problem Solvers vs Hurricane & Rosey

First out came the challengers, Hurricane and Rosey to some heat from the fans, until the crowd popped big time as the hard hitting music hit, and out came the World Tag Team Champions, The Problem Solvers of Batista and Tyson Tomko. They didn't waste any time though as they ran down to the ring throwing their belts to one side and immediately set upon attacking Hurricane and Rosey.

The four brawled around the ring, and the referee had no control as the bell wasn't even started, with Hurricane and Tyson Tomko fighting on the outside, and Batista taking it to Rosey on the inside. Batista set Rosey up and hit a boot to the face knocking the big man down. Outside the ring, Hurricane grabbed a hold of a chair and smashed it against Tyson's back, sending him down, before he slid in the ring and smashed it against Batista.

Tomko grabbed a hold of the chair on the outside and slid in the ring as he went after Hurricane as the two collided smashing the chairs together, before Hurricane and Rosey slid out the ring and made their way up the ramp, before Batista took hold of a mic, with Tomko standing beside him in the ring.

Batista: "You two want a problem, well now you have a problem, this sunday at Helloween, both myself and Tyson Tomko are challenging you two, Hurricane and Rosey to a World Tag Team Title match. **POP** And seems you want to bring objects into the match, how about we make it a No Holds Barred Match **POP**."

Damien: "Listen up, I don't have to discuss anything with you, I am Damien, Leader of the Gathering, I brought you back when you were close to the bottom Randy, I gave you life when you had none left, and what I do is my decisions."

Orton: "But your going to ruin it all, you have put everything on the line this Sunday against Vince, listen to me Damien, this guy can't be trusted, he'll do anything to make sure he walks out of there this sunday still the Owner of the company, while you could be forgotten about."

Damien: "Don't worry about Vince, I have plans for him."

Orton: "Don't worry about him, for god's sake Damien, what you do effects me, have you thought of that, I have backed you all the way, you brought me back from the brink of disaster, I was close to quitting this business forever, but you helped me, and I will be grateful for that, you gave me another lease of life, but what you have planned, your match against Vince, that is beyond my control. Your match can effect me Damien, later that night, I have a match defending my belt, MY WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP, I live for this belt Damien, I breathe for this belt, and you could cost me it. I need to worry about my title match against Christian, not about your revenge of your father. You know what, you do what you have to do, but if this backfires, me and you will have words Damien, and they won't involve the word congratulations, but more like, I told you so!"

Orton walks out furious at Damien who is angry at Orton's verbal attack on him.

JR: "Well folks, it doesn't look like The Gathering is all on the same page tonight, will this effect tonight's Main Event? But coming up right now, we have the Final of the Tournament and we will be crowning the new World Television Champion, who will it be, Ansari or The 'Masterpiece', let's find out right now!"

World Television Championship Tournament Final:

Ansari vs Chris 'The Masterpiece' Masters

First out came Ansari to the heat of the fans, followed by 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan and Ameera both carrying their titles. They walked down to the ring and climbed inside, before the music changed, and to a small pop and mixed reaction came out the opponent, 'The Masterpiece' Chris Masters as he made his trademark entrance at the top of the ramp. He slowly walked down to the ring and climbed inside as the referee called for Hassan and Ameera to get outside the ring.

The match got started, and Ansari took the early control, using some dirty tricks at time to keep control of the match, and at one point throwing Masters outside the ring, and distracting the ref while Hassan got to work on Masters before sending him back in as Ansari covered but Masters just escaped.

After a while, Masters came back and hit a huge backdrop on Ansari before he awaited to finish him off, but Ameera climbed onto the apron to distract the ref, and Ansari hit a low blow to Masters to the heat from the fans. As the ref was still distracted, Ansari held Masters as Hassan climbed in holding his title, as he ran at him, only for Masters to break out the hold just in time as Hassan smashed the title into Ansari's face knocking him down. Masters grabbed Hassan and threw him over the top rope crashing out as Ameera jumped down and ran around to help him.

Inside the ring, Ansari was just getting to his feet as Masters got ready, and he locked in the 'Masterlock' on his opponent and tightened the grip, as the ref checked and after a moment, he called for the bell when Ansari's hand dropped for the third time, as Lillian announced the winner, and World Television Champion, to Chris 'The Masterpiece' Masters.

Match This Sunday!

As Chris Masters climbed out the ring, clutching onto his World Television Championship he had just won, out walked The Revolution's Matt Hardy, carrying a mic as he met Chris Masters at the top of the ramp, and he shook his hand in congratulations at winning the title before Master's disappeared backstage. Hassan, Ameera and Ansari stood in the ring furious at what happened before they looked up at seeing Hardy stood at the top of the ramp watching them arguing at Ansari losing out on winning the belt.

Hardy: "Hey, nice to see you doing so well in the ring guys, **pop as Ansari lost**. Listen up and listen up good, I have talked to Vince, and he has agreed what I put forward, and that is, this Sunday, Live on 'Helloween', we are gonna see a match, a match involving myself, and my fellow Revolutionaries, Robert Conway and Lita, **pop**, and we will be facing, you, Muhammad Hassan and your little groupies that you hang around with to protect you, Ansari and Ameera. **POP** This sunday, you will meet the Revolution in the ring, and the full force of America will be behind us when we show you, that America doesn't respect 'Greatness' like you three."

Tag Team Match:

Vince McMahon/Christian vs Damien/The Master Randy Orton

First out, to the darkness of the arena, and the eerie music came Damien, and the World Heavyweight Champion The Master Randy Orton as they walked down to the ring and climbed inside. Orton posed on the corner turnbuckle as Damien just stood looking around at the fans booing them. The music then hit as out walked one of the challengers, Christain as he walked down to stand outside the ring awaing his tag team partner. 'No Chance' then hit to a huge pop and out walked in wrestling black top and trousers, Vince McMahon as he walked down to the ring and stood outside with Christian, before the both made their move and slid under the bottom rope and attacked both Orton and Damien inside the ring, both cleaned the ring as they threw and clotheslined their opponents ouside the ring and the referee eventually took control.

Christian and Damien started the match, with Christian in control with his more wrestling experience as he worked on Damien's arms and legs, before he made the tag to Vince which everyone had been waiting for. Vince slapped his unknown son around, and sent him crashing into the turbuckle, before he went in after him but got met by a huge boot to the face, and then a clothesline as both men crashed down.

It was the first to get a tag as both men slowly crawled over, and eventually Damien got the tag to Orton who climbed in and attacked Vince before he could make his tag, and started to knock Vince around the ring to the heat from the fans. Orton teased Christian with his destruction of Vince, until he took it too far and for too long which gave Vince the chance to get back to his feet, and Orton turned and was met with a kick to the gut, and a Stunner from Vince as both crashed down.

Vince crawled over to Christian who was waiting for the tag, and eventually he made it as Christian jumped in and ran over to knock Damien off the corner as he crashed to the outside, he then attacked Orton who was struggling to get back up, and Christian sent Orton to the ropes and back with a huge backdrop. Some more shots to Orton and a throw to the turnbuckle as Orton crashed in hard and staggered out to be met by a waiting Christian as he locked in his move, and was able to hit an Un-Prettier on Randy Orton for the cover, as the ref got down and counted the three calling for the bell and awarding the victory to Christian and Vince McMahon who celebrated, as Orton rolled to the outside.

The Final Curtain!

Afetr the match, both Christian and Vince celebrated in the ring, as they climbed the turnbuckles and posed for the fans, which gave the opportunity for Orton and Damien to do a sneak attack. They rolled back in the ring carrying some chairs, and the each moved over to their opponents for this sunday and at the same time they smashed a chair onto the backs of both Vince and Christian as the fans gave some heat to this action. Christian fell forward off the turnbuckle and crashed down and to the outside of the ring. Orton climbed out after him as he smashed another chair shot raining down onto Christian's back, meanwhile in the ring Vince crashed back into the center of the ring with Damien smiling down on his beaten father.

Damien dropped the chair onto the mat, as Vince layed there in agony, while Damien went and took hold of a mic as he dropped down and looked down at his father Vince.

Damien: "Vince, Father, I warned you about dealing with me, this is just a taster of what will take place this Sunday Vince, you will get down and beg for forgiveness, and you will be finally removed fom power in this company, for I, Damien, Leader of the Gathering, shall become the most powerfull man in Sports Entertainment. As for you Father, you will be but a living memory in the minds of all these people, the devil's work will be completed and this Sunday Vince, I will have the final nail in your coffin, when I give you what you thought was dead, I will show you, that my Mother is still ALIVE!"

JR: "BAH GAWD, WHAT WILL HAPPEN THIS SUNDAY, WHO WILL HAVE THE POWER AFTER THE PAY PER VIEW! BAH GAWD, IS THIS THE END OF VINCE McMAHON!"

Damien looked down and gave off a sly grin at Vince promising to show that his mother was still alive at this Sunday's 'Helloween' Pay Per View, as we headed to the close of the show.

WWE World Tag Team Championships:

The Problem Solvers © vs Hurricane & Rosey

It started with an attack backstage on 'The Problem Solver' Batista by Rosey & Hurricane, since then the former World Tag Team Champions have looked at recapturing the titles, while the current Champions are looking at resolving a Problem that they just enjoy solving!

Ric Flair vs 'The Real Heartbreak Kid' Michael Shane

'The Real Heartbreak Kid' Michael Shane made his debut on 'The Highlight Reel' with Chris Jericho who brought him to Raw. Since the, Shane has hit his own version of the Super Kick (Sweet Chin Music) to Val Venis, Triple H and Ric Flair who lost out to the newcommer thanks to a distraction by Jericho. Can Ric Flair show the Kid that Legends don't fall that easily, or will Shane prove he's the future of the business?

6 Man Inter-Gender Tag Team Match:

The Revolution (Matt Hardy, Robert Conway & Lita w/ Daivari) vs

The Arab-Americans ('The Great' Muhammad Hassan, Ansari & Ameera)

For months, 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan has tried to dominate Raw with his own remarks about the USA, and beat Matt Hardy on a Raw Special to capture the 'Intercontinental Championship', upsetting the American fans when he desicrated the title, by spray painting it and renaming it for himself as the 'Allah' Championship. Matt Hardy has gathered together a team he has called 'The Revolution' to look at finally shutting up the 'Arab-Americans'.

Triple H vs Shelton Benjamin

It started with a 'alleged' murder, and has ended up with the loss of control by Triple H. Triple H, who's obsession it seemed was to beat Shelton Benjamin failed on each occasion they met, and finally finished it off when he kidnapped Shelton, locking him in the trunk of his car and letting it drive off the bridge deep down into the ocean below, or so he thought. Shelton who still hasn't been seen since the incident is proposed to be alive and well, and after Triple H called him out last week, a message claimed 'Revenge' is on the cards. Is this finally the moment Triple H can pick up the win he is still looking for?

The Power Struggle (Father vs Son):

Vince McMahon vs Damien

Since his arrival in the company, no one has made much more of an impact than Damien. Having formed 'The Gathering' by helping 'The Master' Randy Orton capture the World Heavyweight Championship, Damien himself looked at finally making his Father quit the company and hand over the power to his son. Will Vince be able to match the power his son has, or can Damien take the Power Struggle from within, and finally make his father beg for forgiveness on his knees? Also, is Damien's mother (Vince's Mistress back in the day) still alive and will she show up on the Pay Per View?

WWE World Heavyweight Championship:

Steel Cage Match

Christian vs 'The Master' Randy Orton ©

Christian captured the 'Money In The Bank Contract' by beating both Chris Benoit and Edge in one match, and set about looking to take the chance by beating the World Heavyweight Champion 'The Master' Randy Orton on his first night as challenger. Orton hasn't beaten Christian since then, and maybe tonight is the night that Christian's dreams come true, or can Randy Orton be able to retain his title once more?

The Problem Solvers © vs Hurricane & Rosey

The first men out were the challengers, The Hurricane and Rosey as they made their way down the ramp and climbed into the ring. They climbed the turnbuckles posing for the fans, before the crowd awaited the Champions.

Tyson: "If You've Got A Problem!"

Batista: "We have the SOLUTION!"

The crowd popped big time, as out walked in their full wrestling gear and black leather jackets with 'Problem' and 'Solver' on the back of them, came the World Tag Team Champions, The Problem Solvers of Batista and Tyson Tomko. They stood at the top of the ramp posing with the titles, before making their way down the ramp towards the ring. Hurricane and Rosey climbed out the ring as Batista and Tyson Tomko climbed inside and posed some more with their belts, as Hurricane and Rosey looked on, before they each grabbed a chair and slid in behind the champs and went to attack smashing a chair each on their opponents.

Batista and Tomko went down as Hurricane and Rosey both attempted a quick cover, but they kicked out in time as Batista and Tyson started getting a beat down more. Hurricane and Rosey dominated some more, working over both men inside and outside the ring, before Tomko and Rosey were on the outside, while Hurricane picked up the chair, and Batista started to crawl to his feet, with Hurricane smashing the chair down on Batista's back, but with no effect. Hurricane attempted again, but it seemed to push Batista more as he started to get angry, and he turned to look at Hurricane who went for a third shot, but for Batista to grab the chair in mid air as both held it.

Batista then kicked Hurricane in the gut, and the chair fell down to the mat, before Batista got Hurricane ready and he picked Hurricane up and set up hitting a powerful Batista Bomb onto the chair with Hurricane screaming out in agony. Batista went for the cover, only for Rosey to get inside and attack Batista to break it up and keep the match going.

Rosey attacked Batista, and sent him to the ropes, but it was reversed, and Rosey got sent to the ropes, and he came back as Tomko waited and gave Rosey a huge boot almost taking his head off. Batista and Tomko then got hyped up, as the crowd started to pop before Tomko climbed up the turnbuckle, and Batista picked Rosey up and held him in position, as Tomko came flying off crashing down on Rosey with the 'Solution' finisher before Batista made the cover, and the ref counted the three as the bell sounded and The Problem Solvers succesfully defended their titles.

The Final Arrival?

After the match, we go into the parking lot where we see a large black limo pull down the drive and pulls up into a parking space, as it stops and out steps the driver as he makes his way around the limo and opens the back door as out steps one of tonight's Superstars and current Owner of WWE, Vince McMahon as he steps out smiling seemingly confident at winning his match tonight. He steps away from the car as out steps his wife, and CEO of the company, Linda McMahon. Vince and Linda walk arm in arm over towards the doors as he opens them and they walk inside the arena.

JR: "Well we will find out later tonight Coach, but what a match we have right now, The Nature Boy Ric Flair will be squaring off against a newcomer to Raw, and making his Pay Per View debut, 'The Real Heartbreak Kid' Michael Shane."

Ric Flair vs 'The Real Heartbreak Kid' Michael Shane

The first man out, as the crowd gave a small pop with the music hitting around the arena. 'Im a sexy boy' and out walked in full HBK type costume, the man who beat Ric Flair just a few weeks back, 'The Real Heartbreak Kid' Michael Shane as he stopped a few steps down, and posed with the pyros exploding behind him. He then made his way down and looked into the camera admiring his face before he climbed inside the ring and got ready for his first pay per view match.

The '2001' theme then hit, and the crowd popped big time as out walked in his trademark flashy gown, came 'The Nature Boy' Ric Flair as he walked down to the ring, walking over to the steps and walked up onto the apron, as he called for the ref to open the ropes which he did and he climbed inside. Flair then got prepared as the ref called for the bell to start the match.

The match started with them both looking at each other, before Shane reached his hand out for a handshake to kick it off, but Flair refused, and after Shane put his hand back, Flair put his hand out for a handshake, and Shane went to shake it when Flair drew it back and ran his hands through his hair and flicked them back at Shane who wasn't impressed at this insult, and set about to attack Flair locking him in a headlock as the match finally got started.

Shane dominated for a while, using his youth and speed to keep control over Flair before he made a mistake and climbed the turnbuckle, jumping off as Flair got to his feet only to be met by a punch to the gut and Shane doing a 360 through the air landing on his back in the ring. Flair then took control working over Shane's legs setting him up, before he took a hold of one of Shane's legs, and danced around for a moment, before he locked in the Figure 4 Leglock.

Shane screamed out in pain as Flair locked it in tight, and Shane struggled for a while, before he somehow made it to the ropes, and the ref had a problem getting the connection of legs broken up, as Flair got to his feet and worked more on Shane's legs, with shots to them as Shane screamed in agony.

Shane tried getting to his feet, but found it hard, after the attack to one of his legs and he hobbled around the ring, with Flair kicking the back of him sending him back down each time, before he came from behind and took him out one last time, connecting his shoulder down through his leg. Flair stood up and gave out one of his trademark 'whooooos' remark, as he ran his hands through his hair, and he moved over to the corner, climbing the turnbuckle, but Shane used the ropes to get to his feet, and as Flair got on the top turnbuckle, Shane staggered into the ref who fell backwards and hit the ropes, as Flair dropped down doing the splits over the turnbuckle as he grabbed his crotch in pain.

Shane argued with the ref, claiming it was an accident he knocked into him causing Flair to crash down, before he moved over and got Flair set up hitting a super-plex off the top rope. Shane covered but only got a two count as Flair kicked out. Shane checked his leg as he got up and moved over to the corner, and started the band with Flair struggling to get up.

Flair eventually made it to his feet, and he turned around as Shane moved forward and went for his Sweet Chin Music only for Flair to duck down and Shane missed, as he turned around to be met by a poke to the eyes from Flair to a nice pop from the fans. Flair then sent Shane to the ropes, and he came back with Flair hitting a huge backdrop on Shane who crashed to the mat.

Shane got to his feet as Flair moved in and went for another throw to the ropes, but it was reversed and Flair got sent, coming back as Shane out of nothing hit a connecting Super Kick to Ric Flair who got knocked out by the hit to the face, as Shane moved for the cover and the ref made the count for three giving the victory to 'The Real Heartbreak Kid' Michael Shane once again over Ric Flair.

Americans Will Suffer?

Backstage we found Todd Grisham standing by with the team up next, The Arab-Americans.

Todd: "Guys...."

Hassan: "Todd, there is a Princess present."

Todd: "I'm sorry, tonight you three will be taking part in a Six Man Inter-Gender match, against a Team that is looking at finally shutting you all up about your remarks about America."

Hassan: "Shutting us up, SHUTTING US UP. What happened to free speech Todd? Tonight, this team, this Revolution we face will come up short, just like America does in everything they compete in, and just like this place we are in, Canada, the lapdog of America. For months now, I have only stated the truth, the truth in how we, myself, Ameera and my friend Ansari have been treated by you Americans. You look down on us, you treat us with disrespect and yet we have done nothing wrong."

Todd: "Well, you did win that title and disrespect all the Champions of the past when you desicrated it by spray painting over the name?"

Hassan's eyes bulge at what he considers an insult to what he has done. Ameera snatches the mic off Todd looking on with hatred towards him.

Ameera: "Todd, if that's your real name. What 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan did is not disrespecting that title, it's what America has done to us Arab-Americans that you should be talking about. Since 'The Great' Muhammad arrived, he has never been given a real opportunity to compete for a title, and it was only when our friends around the world wrote in and supported our comments for justice for him that something was done, and even then, Vince tried everything he could to stop him having that chance, just like he had done to me. Now he has allowed this new team, this Revolution to come into force and tried to help them with every opportunity in taking away what we deserve, and that is Justice for all Arab-Americans. Tonight, he made a match between us and Matt Hardy, Robert Conway and Lita **POP**. Well listen up America, **Heat as in Canada** The Revolution will suffer at the hands just like they always do, tonight, Arab-Americans all over the world will stand up and be proud to show that we will not be treated this way anymore."

Ansari then pushed Todd into the wall as himself, Ameera and Hassan walk off leaving Todd looking a little diturbed at their reaction to his questions.

OR: 66.1%

JR: "I hope to god that The Revolution get to finally shut up these Arab-Americans and especially that Hassan."

Coach: "JR, I have worked with Hassan before, as you may know, but what I do know is that he is a tough opponent when he steps in that ring, now sometimes he may say things that even I don't agree with, but he is the Champion of Raw, and he's not a man to be beaten easily, remember, he's unbeaten on Raw JR."

JR: "He may be unbeaten on Raw Coach, but this isn't Raw, this is Helloween and we are live from Calgary, Canada and I know these fans will be supporting the good 'ol USA against Hassan and his followers."

Six Man Inter-Gender Match:

The Revolution vs The Arab-Americans

The Arab-American music hit to some heat from the fans, as out walked the three members, Ansari, Womens Champion Ameera and the leader of the group, and 'Allah' Champion, 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan. They stood at the top of the ramp and looked around, before each looked down on Canadian soil and spat on it, upsetting the local crowd before making their way down the ramp and climbing inside, while Hassan prayed on the outside and then joined the other two inside the ring.

The music then changed, 'Its time for a Revolution' and the crowd popped as out walked the three members of the Revolution, Robert Conway, Matt Hardy and Lita. They stood at the top of the ramp looking down on their opponents, of which Hassan looked on at the group, before Hardy called out their fourth member, and out walked Daivari to the insult of 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan who went mad in the ring at seeing his former manager once again come out in support of America. They then walked down to the ring and climbed inside as The Arab-Americans made their exit outside the ring looking back in at The Revolution posing for the fans.

The three opponents then climbed back on the ring apron, and the ref was able to get the match set with Conway and Ansari ready to kick the match off. Ansari took the early control, and Conway got attacked after being distracted by Hassan, with Ansari knocking him down and laying the boot in. Ansari picking Conway up and sent him to the ropes and he came back to a backdrop from Ansari which connected.

Ansari gave a few more shots to Conway before Hassan called for the tag, and he did as he climbed inside, with Ansari holding Conway wide open for Hassan to connect with a fist to the stomach sending him down to his knees. Hassan walked over and taunted Hardy and Lita who tried getting inside, as the ref ran over to stop them and allowed Ansari and Hassan to work on Conway as Ameera held him near the ropes.

They worked on Conway not allowing him anywhere near his tag team with quick tags between Ansari and Hassan each putting more pain on Conway. Hassan was inside when the mistake was made, as Hassan shot Conway to the ropes and ducked down for a backdrop, but Conway knew what was coming and hit a huge boot to Hassan who raised up clutching his face, before Conway ran and connected with a clothesline as both men crashed down.

Both struggled to make the tag, as Conway finally did to Matt Hardy as the crowd popped on his tag and he jumped inside, with Hassan getting to Ansari. Hardy knocked Hassan out the ring, and then worked on Ansari inside the ring connecting with right hands, and sending him crashing into the turnbuckle hard. Matt Hardy then hit a supplex on Ansari and covered but Ansari kicked out in time.

Matt looked over at Lita who was wanting in, and he looked at Ansari who was crawling down on all fours, before he picked him up and threw him over to their corner, with Hassan still down on the outside, and Ansari made the tag to Ameera, while Matt walked over and put his hand out, as Lita tagged herself in.

Ameera got in and walked over until she saw Lita climb in the ring and didn't want anything to do with her, as she backed up, but Lita wasn't having it as she kicked her in the gut, and sent her to the ropes coming back into a Lita clothesline. Lita put some kicks in and then picked her up and sent her to the ropes coming back this time into a backdrop. Lita was ready to finish it, as she picked Ameera up and slammed her down near the turnbuckles, while she moved over and climbed up the turbuckle.

Hassan started to get back to his feet on the outside as Matt Hardy ran around the ring apron and came flying off with a clothesline taking both of them down, while Conway went and knocked Ansari off the ring area and followed after him climbing through the ropes.

Lita then looked back as she stood on the top turnbuckle and hit a Lita Moonsault back connecting onto Ameera and then covered for the pinfall as the ref called for the final bell and The Revolution picked up the victory. They celebrated walking up the ramp as Hassan climbed inside after the assault by Hardy and checked Ameera with Ansari who joined them.

Hassan looked up at Hardy and the Revolution smiling back down on them over their victory tonight.

Murder or Revenge?

A video aired next showing moments of what lead upto the next match. It started with Shelton's trade to Raw over a year ago, and his first appearance on Raw as he beat Triple H, followed by his long unbeaten record against the former champion. It then showed Triple H kidnapping Shelton Benjamin and locking him in the trunk of his car, before he drove it too a bridge, and dropped a wreath down on Shelton's body lying inside the trunk, before the car sped off and over the bridge down into the ocean below. We then saw Triple H on Raw, and his vicious assaults on Ric Flair and Coach, and believing what he saw was Shelton walk past his locker room as Evolution believed he was losing his mind.

It ended with the call out by Triple H last week on Raw, wanting Shelton Benjamin to show up at Helloween as we head back to the arena.

OR: 56.4%

JR: "Folks, you may remember the controversy surrounding what happened weeks ago when Triple H kidnapped Shelton Benjamin and what everyone is believed to have killed him, and since then we haven't heard from Shelton, but last week Triple H got a message that tonight, it's not about beating your opponents, it's about Revenge for one man."

Coach: "It may be about revenge JR, but is Shelton even here tonight? No one has seen him around this arena or since that incident happened."

JR: "That's true Coach, but we will find out right now if Shelton is here, and if he can once again beat the smile off Triple H's face."

Triple H vs Shelton Benjamin

'Its time to play the game' started up as the fans gave a small pop along with some heat from others, as out walked carrying his trademark water bottle, Triple H. He stood at the top with his head down, before he poured some water over his face and then made his way down to the ring before walking around the side, taking a drink of water and throwing the bottle into the crowd as he stepped onto the apron and did his entrance of posing spitting water up into the air before climbing inside the ring and up onto the turnbuckle posing for the fans. He then climbed down and walked over to take hold of a mic.

HHH: "For the past few weeks, one man, one individual has done more damage to me than anyone I have ever faced. He's done more than Stone Cold Steve Austin, Batista, Randy Orton, and he's even done more damage than The Rock has ever done to me. Well tonight, that myth, that unbeaten run against me comes to an end. A few weeks ago I took the matter into my own hands, I kidnapped him and locked him in that boot of the car, and I let it speed off over that bridge and down into the ocean, but the thing you didn't see is that he wasn't actually still in that car. You see, I removed him from that car before it went over the edge, and I paid him a lot of money, and I mean a lot to go away, to leave Raw and never return but it looks like that he wouldn't take the hint. Well tonight, this comes to an end, me and you, one on one, you believe you can beat me, well I know I can beat you, so I suggest you get your ass out here Shelton, because tonight, the murder people saw on the screen a few weeks ago, is now going to become a reality live on Pay Per View."

Triple H threw the mic over the ropes to the outside, as he stood awaiting his opponent tonight. He stood waiting for a moment with nothing happening, and then the music hit of Shelton Benjamin and he stood prepared to attack at his appearance.

Suddenly from through the crowd ran someone in a zipped up tracksuit top with hood over his face, and he jumped the barrier and slid in the ring behind Triple H. Triple H looked on but no one showed at the top of the ramp, and he turned around as he got met with some right hands sending him back to the ropes and then the man whipped him to the ropes and Triple H came back with a backdrop. The man then unzipped the top, and removed the hood to show it was in fact the return of Shelton Benjamin and he had a look of evil on his face, looking to gain revenge for what Triple H had done to him.

Shelton attacked Triple H and beat him all around the ring over the next few minutes, before he sent him to the corner and ran in for a huge splash but Triple H just moved out in time as Shelton crashed into the top turnbuckle. Triple H tried a roll up from behind and put his foot on the ropes as the ref counted but could only get a two out of it.

Triple H then made his comeback and worked on Shelton attacking him with vicious shots and kicks for what he had put him through for the past few weeks. Triple H worked on Shelton to the heat from the crowd, and he set him up to finish the match off as he hit a kick to the gut and got him in place, connecting with a Pedigree, before he covered and the ref counted. The hand came down for the three when just a split second before Shelton somehow kicked out, and Triple H got to his knees looking on not believing what he just did, he then picked Shelton up and went to hit another Pedigree, only for Shelton to reverse and send Triple H over the top into a backdrop hard onto the mat.

Shelton gave some shots to Triple H's face and body with his right hand and kicks before sending him to the ropes and coming back into a clothesline, before Triple H staggered to his feet with Shelton waiting and Triple H turned to be met by Shelton in position and he connected with a T-Bone Supplex before covering and the ref counted, as the bell sounded and the victory came once again over the man he had beaten on every occassion, Shelton Benjamin.

Shelton slid out the ring and made his way up the ramp celebrating as Triple H looked on furiously at losing again to this man he just wasn't able to beat. Shelton smiled back down with the crowd popping for another victory to him as Triple H lost it in the ring and he grabbed the ref and knocked him out in one right swing of his fist for making the count.

Disagreement?

Backstage we found The Gathering's Damien and The Master Randy Orton in their locker room.

Damien: "Are you ready, because tonight is the beginning of the next era in the WWE, the era of the Gathering."

Orton: "I hope you are right Damien, I've backed you all this time, and tonight, you may get a chance of revenge against your father, but don't forget the bigger picture here, my World Heavyweight Championship."

Damien: "Well Randy, your title won't mean anything if I lose, maybe you need to realise that? If my father wins, then not only will I be gone from this company, but he will do everything he can to rid you of that title, so maybe you should be getting behind me, instead of focusing on your opponent, I mean, my match is next remember."

Orton still doesn't look happy, as he goes face to face with Damien.

Orton: "Well you remember, I've been behind you, I have supported you like you have done for me, so I hope your plan works tonight, because if it doesn't, me and you will have a problem!"

Damien: "The plan will work Randy, and don't you ever, come this close to me again!"

Damien scrunches his face in disapproval at Orton, before he walks off out the room leaving Randy Orton looking worried about what may happen tonight.

OR: 75.6%

JR: "We saw it last week on Raw, and once again tonight it looks like Damien and The Master Randy Orton are not on the same page."

Coach: "They seems to be a friction between them JR, Damien came to Raw and helped Orton win his title back that he lost a long time ago, and now Damien wants to rid this company of his father, the man who made this company."

JR: "Coach, folks, this is gonna be one hell of a fight, a Father vs a Son, a Power Struggle where whoever wins gets to destroy the other man. If Vince wins then Damien will be gone from this company forever, but if Damien wins, then Vince has to sign over the papers to his own son, the son he he had forgotten about for so long, this is gonna be the power between good and evil, and I just hope Vince comes out on top because I dread to think what Raw will be like under the leadership of Damien."

The Power Struggle (Son vs Father):

Damien vs Vince McMahon

The arena darkened as the eerie music kicked in, and out walked in a black robe, along with someone else beside him was Damien. They stood at the top as they made their way down to the ring and Damien walked up the steps opening the ropes for this mystery person as they climbed inside. Damien walked over to the ropes and picked up a mic waiting for him, as the mystery person stood in the center of the ring.

Damien: "Tonight, the Lord of Darkness, the Power of Evil will begin his reign as the new Leader of Raw. **Heat** Vince, Father, I call upon you to come down to this ring, to do the right thing and get down on your knees and ask for forgiveness for your sins of the past, for what you have put me through and my family. I call upon you to walk down and meet the woman you sacrificed for your own family, a woman who gave everything to support me, a woman who put my future before hers and the woman who helped give life to your son!"

Damien dropped the mic down as he looked on awaiting his father, Vince as the crowd gave some heat towards him. Suddenly the music hit, and the crowd popped. 'No Chance In Hell' started and out walked along with his wife, Linda McMahon came Vince fully dressed for action as he made his way down to the ring and climbed inside along with Linda, before walking around and grabbing another mic from Lillian.

Vince: "What is this Damien, you expect me to believe that this is your mother, this person whoever it is is not and shall never be your mother, because the last time I saw her she was laying on a slab in the mortuary dead. Now if you want a fight, I'll give you a fight, because after tonight, you and your little gang of zombies you have will be driven from this company, because there is only one higher power here, and his name is Vincent Kennedy McMahon, and I'll be damned if I will ever get down on my knees and beg for forgiveness from someone like you."

Vince throws the mic down and he opens the ropes as out steps Linda McMahon to the outside, before Damien opens the ropes and the mystery robed person climbed out as the ref finally called for the bell and the match got underway.

Vince started the match well, using his power over his son to throw him around like a rag doll inside the ring. Vince threw some right hands to Damien before sending him crashing into the corner hard, and followed up with a vicious clothesline almost taking Damien's head off. Vince dominated for almost the whole match, when he called for Linda to climb onto the ring apron, and he took hold of Damien, and asked for her to hit him, as she reached back and slapped Damien across the face which could be heard throughout the arena, but this caused upset at the mystery person.

The mystery robed person walked around the ring towards Linda and they got into an argument outside the ring before the mystery person slapped Linda who dropped down onto the mat outside the ring holding her face in agony at the shot she was just given. This distracted Vince and the ref who made their way to the ropes and looked over at what was happening. The ref reached over and called for the mystery person to move around the other side, as Vince backed up and turned to be met by a hard low blow from Damien who was waiting.

Vince grabbed himself in agony at what just happened, as Linda made her way up the ramp away from danger and behind the scenes. The ref turned as he saw Damien rising to his feet and Vince on his knees wondering what had taken place and shouting at Damien asking what happened. Damien claimed innocence at what took place, and he picked Vince up to his feet and he looked him in the eyes, and his face scrunched up in a look of anger at him, before he grabbed him by the throat and picked him up and dropped him in a chokeslam.

Damien then got Vince ready and he locked his legs in position before he turned him over and had positioned himself for a Sharpshooter as Vince screamed out in agony as he tried desperately to reach the ropes, but they were too far away. Damien put more pain onto Vince's back as he tried everything to break free, but it was just too much as eventually, and without much choice, Vince tapped out as the ref called for the bell to the heat from the crowd in the arena.

Damien kept the hold on though for more, as the ref tried to break it and eventually he did after giving more pain to his father. Damien smiled at his victory and now become the new owner and head of Raw after beating his own father, as he moved over and opened the ropes as in walked the mystery person and Damien took hold of a mic as he got ready to speak, with Vince crawling on the floor.

Damien: "Now father, now that I have shown the power I have, and the power that I have gained by beating you, now you shall get on your knees and beg for forgiveness at the woman you destroyed."

The mystery person walked over and stopped at the head of Vince, as Damien moved over and removed the hood of the robe as he placed it back, and we saw an old woman, her face all scarred and deformed, with just small strands of hair on her head as she looked down on Vince.

JR: "BAH GAWD, THAT IS DAMIEN'S MOTHER!"

Vince moved his head up as he looked at the old woman staring down on him, and his face turned to shock at seeing this woman, the mother of Damien and the woman he had an affair with long ago looking back at him as he got up on his knees and started to shake in fear at what he was witnessing.

Damien: "Now Father, you will suffer like we have suffered, your fate will be the same fate that we went through, your time has come for you to pay for your sins of the past!"

As he said that, out came running two guys in white jackets and carrying something as they raced down into the ring and grabbed Vince who just knelt there in shock still. They placed the white jacket over Vince and reached it around the side, tying it up behind him as he never moved, before they rolled him back under the ropes, standing on the outside with Damien moving around and getting down on his knees in front of his mother.

The two men took hold of Vince locked away in a straight jacket and carried him up the ramp and backstage where the camera followed them, and we saw them lead him through the corridors back through some double doors into a waiting parking lot where an ambulance was parked waiting for them. They opened the back doors and moved Vince inside before the sirens started up and the ambulance drove off up the ramp and out of sight leaving Damien and his mother stood in the ring.

JR: "Vince has gone, what in the hell is happening here, where have they taken him!"

A video aired next showing moments of what lead upto the next match. We saw The Master Randy Orton capturing the title against Batista on Raw, with help from Damien, before their rematch in which Orton picked up another victory over Batista after hitting an RKO on the former champion. It then showed Christian beating both Edge and Chris Benoit in a triple threat match followed by the following night on Raw, as Christian attacked Orton, before their non-title match later that night when Christian pinned the champion.

JR: "We will soon find out Coach, this is Randy Orton vs Christian for the World Heavyweight Championship, this is sure to be a slobberknocker, let's goto the ring."

WWE World Heavyweight Championship:

Steel Cage Match:

'The Master' Randy Orton © vs Christian

The steel cage slowly came down over the ring as the referee's locked each section into place and opened the door ready for the Main Event.

The music then hit as the fans popped and out walked ready for his match, the challenger and Money In The Bank holder, Christian. He slowly made his way down the ring and walked around the steel cage looking at it, before he walked up the steps and climbed inside the ring. He moved over to a corner and climbed up on top of the steel cage and looked around signalling to his fans before the music stopped and he made his way back down.

The music then hit of the Champion, as out walked ready for action, the World Heavyweight Champion, The Master Randy Orton. He stood at the top of the ramp and posed with the title before making his way down the ramp towards the steel cage surroundings. He looked on at Christian inside before he handed the title over to a ref on the outside, and he climbed the steps and through the ropes inside the steel cage, as one ref locked the door on the outside.

The ref called for the bell and the match got underway, and immediately Orton ran to the corner and upwards trying to escape in the first seconds but Christian was able to stop him, as he pulled him back down and started laying some punches to Orton before sending him crashing to the other corner. Christian ran in after him and Orton got his foot up as Christian crashed into it and dropped to the mat, with Orton turning and climbing the steel cage again looking at escaping but Christian got back to his feet and stopped him once again.

The match carried on back and forth for another twenty minutes or more, and ended up in a bloody battle as Christian shot Orton smashing into the steel cage cutting him open and rubbing his face into the steel cutting him more with blood pouring out. Christian then was able to almost finish the match, as he set up Orton and hit an Un-Prettier on the Champion to a pop from the fans, and he looked around at the door, before he signalled instead for the cage as he walked over to the corner and started to make his way up the corner of the ring and steel cage.

As Christian was climbing up, Orton had slowly struggled to crawl over to the door area, and the door was opened and Orton tried in vain to climb out the ring when Christian noticed it, and he jumped back down off the steel cage and ran over and grabbed Orton's foot at the last second as he tried using the steps to pull himself out. Christian held on though, and he pulled him back inch by inch before he was almost back inside, and Christian got to his feet, still holding onto Orton.

Suddenly, The Master Randy Orton's wife, Stacy Keibler came running down the ramp and around towards the door area, as Christian went to close the door and Stacy grabbed the door and smashed it backwards as it smashed into Christian's face who fell backwards and crashed into the ring. Stacy moved and grabbed a hold of Orton's arm and tried dragging him out the ring and slowly did so but she couldn't get him fully outside, as she ran up the steps and climbed inside the ring and behind the Champion Orton, and started to push him from behind towards the door as he was half out, when Christian started to come to and he saw what was happening.

Christian crawled over as Stacy finally pushed Orton and he collapsed onto the outside of the ring over the steps and the ref called for the bell, as The Master Randy Orton picked up the victory and defence of his World Heavyweight Championship. Stacy got to her feet in celebration at helping him win his match, as Christian crawled over and as she tried to step outside the ring, Christian grabbed a hold of one of her legs.

Stacy turned around and saw Christian holding her and she screamed out for Orton to help, but he was still almost unconciouss on the outside not realising what was happening. Christian struggled to his feet as he grabbed Stacy and pulled her back in the ring, and threw her over into the other corner. Christian stepped outside the cage, and he looked down on Orton laying on the outside, and he pushed one of the ref's away and looked under the ring where he found a steel chain before making his way back in the ring and closed the door behind him.

Stacy looked on in horror at what was happening, as Christian locked the door and then put the chain through the door and cage locking them inside. He then turned as he saw Stacy stood in the corner, and she was trembling almost at what he might do before she turned and started to climb up the turnbuckle and tried to escape the steel cage, but he ran over and grabbed a hold of her, and pulled her back down into the ring with a bang. Stacy crawled towards the door area, as Orton was just getting to his feet when he noticed Stacy inside with Christian and he ran towards the door and grabbed the chain locked around it but couldn't break it free.

Christian smiled inside the ring as Stacy got up and banged on the door screaming for Orton to break it to get her out, but he couldn't get it open. Christian walked over and he grabbed Stacy's hair from behind and pulled her back in the center of the ring with Orton looking on in anger screaming for him not to touch her, but Christian just smiled and he set her up as he got ready and smashed Stacy down into an Un-Prettier as Orton looked on. Orton called for help, when out came Kane who came running down the ramp along with Hurricane and Rosey and they tried in vain to open the cage, until Kane had a go and started to unhinge the door somehow before he ripped it off the hinges and threw it away.

Christian saw what was happening and he ran to the corner and climbed up over the steel cage just as Orton and the rest of them climbed inside to help Stacy as Christian dropped to the outside of the ring steel cage area and over the barrier into the crowd looking back at what he just did.

JR: "BAH GAWD, Christian has destroyed Stacy Keibler."

Coach: "I can't believe he just did that JR, Christian will be lucky to get out of this arena alive now."

JR: "BAH GAWD, WHAT WILL HAPPEN TOMORROW NIGHT, WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO RAW NOW DAMIEN IS IN CHARGE."

The pay per view ended with a shot of The Master Randy Orton holding Stacy's unconciouss body in his arms looking hurt at what just happened to her.

Last night at 'Helloween', Damien defeated his own father Vince McMahon for full control of the company and Raw. Where does the show stand now? Vince was last seen being carried away in a straight jacket and rumours are that only Damien knows where he is now. What's next for Damien as well, he now runs the show but can he make an impact as big as last night? And what about the woman who appeared ringside with Damien?

The biggest news for Raw tonight, is a Huge Main Event featuring Kane against Christian who lost out on winning the World Heavyweight Championship against 'The Master' Randy Orton last night after Orton's wife Stacy Keibler ran to his aid and helped him escape the cage.

WWE Raw

Live From Rhode Island

Monday 31st October 2005

Attendance: 1,882

TV Audience: 973,683 viewers (up by 479,355)

The show kicked off with photos of last night's huge Pay Per View 'Helloween' which made an impact on Raw. It showed The Problem Solvers succesfully defending their World Tag Team Titles, 'The Real' Heartbreak Kid' Michael Shane beating Ric Flair with a Super Kick, Lita helping The Revolution beat The Arab-Americans by pinning the Women's Champion Ameera, Shelton Benjamin's return to Raw as he once again beat Triple H, Damien beating his father Vince McMahon after help from his mother on the outside, and finally 'The Master' Randy Orton beating Christian thanks to help from his wife Stacy Keibler before Christian gained some revenge by hitting the Un-Prettier on Stacy inside of the steel cage before he made a quick escape leaving The Gathering and Orton to check on his wife. We then went Live to the Arena without any opening credits and awaited the start of the show.

JR: "Folks, welcome, we are Live from Rhode Island just 24 hours after our huge pay per view 'Helloween' what an event we had and we almost crowned a new World Heavyweight when Christian was screwed out of winning the title thanks to Stacy Keibler, but she paid the price last night for helping The Master Randy Orton."

A New Era?

The lights dimmed down, and the eerie music started up as out walked to lots of heat from the fans, the man who last night beat his own Father Vince McMahon, and now is the Owner and General Manager of Raw, Damien. He walked from behind the curtain in his long robe with hood up covering his face, and carrying a clipboard as he stood at the top of the ramp and took in the heat. He slowly made his way down the ramp and towards the ring before he walked the steel steps and climbed inside the ring before moving to the center of the ring and looking around at the company he now owned. He moved over to take hold of a mic before he moved back and got ready to speak, only for the fans to show their disapproval of what he did to Vince by chanting 'You Screwed Vince' to him as he took it in, and angered them more when he moved the mic down to the side of his body before raising both his arms and doing a 180 turn around at the fans posing for them.

He then got ready to speak, as the fans quietened down slightly awaiting to hear what he said about last night.

Damien: "There comes a time in every family, when a son must stand up to his father, and that he must show him that he is now the Master of the household. **Heat** Last night, on one of the biggest stages of them all, in front of thousands in attendance and millions on Pay Per View, I finally did something, something that no man has been able to do in their career. Last night, I not only beat my father, Vincent Kennedy McMahon, but I DESTROYED MY FATHER **HEAT**. He is now suffering the consequences of going up against the strongest force that this company has ever witnessed. I gave him plenty of chances to back out, I give him the position where he could easily have stepped down as Owner of this Company and hand it over to where it deserves to be, in my hands. **heat** I promised revenge, and I delivered. Not only did I deliver, but I have put my father where he belongs, he is now suffering the same actions I had to suffer, he is now locked away in a room, with no windows, with no doors, sitting there, praying, hoping that his life ends soon. He is going through the torture, the hell that I suffered for many, many years, and in the end, unlike me, he will finally break down and suffer the consequences of his actions. **heat** What I hold here in my hand, is the written contract, signed, sealed and delivered by his wife Linda into my hands. This contract, this piece of paper will finally seal the fate of this show and this company."

Damien takes hold of a pen from the clipboard and signs the contract before he moves it to the corner and places it on the turnbuckle away as he gets the mic ready to continue his speech.

Damien: "Now, with no further ado, this company, this show Raw is finally in my hands to do what I please. And tonight, people will pay for their crimes, starting with the man who last night put their hands on something precious to a friend of mine. Last night, after losing his match, after he suffered at the hands of the Greatest World Heavyweight Champion alive today, 'The Master' Randy Orton, well tonight, CHRISTIAN **POP**, tonight you will pay for putting your hands on Randy Orton's wife, The Mistress of Darkness Stacy Keibler, while Orton is staying at Stacy's bedside after the horrific attack last night, then tonight, you will go up against the Most Dominate Creature in the history of Raw, the Most Destructive Superstar that has ever walked the Earth, you will go up against none other than, KANE. **POP** Tonight, the Monster, Kane will make you pay the price for your crimes, you will suffer, you will go through more Pain than you will ever have been through before, and then you will suffer more. Tonight, The Gathering will gain some revenge for what you did. But now, I want to show the world, show the one person, the woman who helped me destroy the only thing standing between me and the power that I now hold. I bring to you, the woman who helped me last night, I bring to you my mother."

The fans waited as the curtain moved and out walked in a long black robe walked someone, as they walked down to the ring and climbed inside as Damien opened the ropes for them. They moved and stood in the center of the ring as Damien walked around them smiling at his actions, before he removed the hood and we saw the same old woman from last night, with scars and strands of hair on her head looking like she had clawed her way back from hell, the mother just stood there.

Damien: "Ladies and Gentleman, I present to you, the woman who made all this possible, the woman who helped me destroy the one man standing in my way, I bring to you the only woman in my life and the only woman who loved me since I have broke free from my prison."

With that small speech, Damien moved the mic down to the side of his body, before he moved over to his mother, and took a hold of her, and as the fans started to gross out, he grabbed her and kissed her passionately on the lips as they bent over slightly, with Damien holding his mother and forcing himself onto her, but she seemed to enjoy it as her hands ran up and down the back of his body before he brought her back up and they finished kissing, with him stopping to look deep in her eyes. Damien smiled as the fans started to gave some huge heat at what was taking place in the ring.

Damien: "I bring to you, the Love of My Life, the Only Woman to love me for who I am. I bring to you, the soon to be most dominant Woman in the history of Raw."

With that, the mother started to rip off parts of her face, and revealed she was wearing make up and a rubber face of some kind, as she then removed the hair piece she had on as well, as her long golden locks of hair dropped down and out down her back, as she smiled back at Damien who milked up the reaction from the fans who were going wild with hatred towards the con that Damien had pulled off.

JR: "Bah Gawd, Damien screwed his own father and everyone here in the company with that woman dressed up as his mother."

Damien: "Vince, you were right all along. My mother is dead, she's dead because she was not a Survivor like me, she paid the price of what you did to us both, and while I stand here in this ring, my mother, that whore who gave me life, that bitch who you slept with you when you fancied something extra is lying deep down where she belongs, in a grave being eaten away. **heat** That is where she deserves to be, for giving herself to someone like you, Vince, if you ever hear this, I screwed you good, I screwed you just like how you screwed my mother, I hope she rots in hell for even letting you touch her, just the thought of you putting your hands on her makes me wish I was there when she died, so I could put that final knife in and see her life fade away. The sight of seeing you last night, standing in that ring, looking at this, this beautiful woman, **pointing to the woman standing in the ring**, believing that my mother, that she was still alive was the greatest moment in the history of my life, to see the fear in your eyes, to see the pain and suffering you finally realised you had done to me, that was a picture that will live in my memory for the rest of my life. Vince, now I have done the greatest damage anyone has ever done to you, you have nothing left, you have no company, you have no future, your life is in MY HANDS! Just one call is all it will take, one call from me and I can finish your life at the snap of my fingers, **snaps his fingers** thats all it takes, and soon it will happen, but for now, you must suffer, you must suffer how I suffered, living your life in a room, a room with no exits, a room with no hope of survival, and you will feel the pain, the Pain as thousands of volts of electricity will be shot through your body. Finally, we shall witness the end of Vincent Kennedy McMahon. **heat** For what you fans are seeing now, what you viewers are tunning into now is my Raw, this is my life, this is my company, THIS IS MY WORLD!"

Damien raised his arms as the lights darkened slightely and thunder and lightening seemed to be inside the arena. Damien then grabbed hold of the woman at his side, grabbing her hair and pulling her down to one side slightly, as he forced himself on her once again and they kissed passionately as the fans gave huge heat for what he said.

OR: 93.1%

A Chance Of A Return?

As Damien and blonde kissed, the lights stayed dark slightly, and then they were interupted, as the titantron came on and the countdown began. The pyros hit the stage as the countdown struck, and the music hit as the fans popped and out walked with his back to the ring area, came Chris Jericho. He stood there before turning around and making his way down to the ring as he climbed the turnbuckle and posed on the outside before he climbed inside as Damien and the woman looked on with Damien not happy at this intrussion on his opening night as Owner, while Jericho moved and took hold of a mic.

Jericho: "So, this is a new era on Raw eh? Having some two-bit obsessed son of Vince McMahon come down and talk about his family with some disrespect? What a surprise. But enough of all this crap, I'm sure you know why I'm here?"

Damien: "Your here because I asked you to attend tonight, that's why your here, and do you know why I made you come here tonight?"

Jericho: "Because you finally realised that Raw is nothing without the charismatic Chris Jericho. Ever since your father screwed me, this show has been going downhill. Vince re-hired me back on Raw a few weeks back, and since he's now gone, thanks to you, so now I guess it's your turn to get down and kiss my ass in the hope I will return to the company?"

Damien: "Chris, your here for one reason, that's to pay. You were the one who got down and kissed my father's ass in the hope of getting your job back, and anyone who does that, I don't like. So tonight, Live here in Rhode Island *pop**, you are gonna get a chance to reclaim what you lost, that's right Chris, your chance to come back on Raw. If you win your match coming next, then I will reinstate you to the active roster list, because being the new owner of Raw, I can do whatever the hell I want."

Jericho: "So let me get this straight? If I win my match, I get to come back, not be someone's lackey, not go around wiping your ass like your little groupies do?"

Damien: "Chris, your beginning to piss me off, and it doesn't help when you piss off the new boss. So tonight, in fact right now at this very moment, get ready, because your opponent for the match, will be, The Hurricane **pop**."

Jericho: "Hurricane, is that the best you can do?"

Damien: "You didn't let me finish Chris, your opponent is The Hurricane and Rosey in a Handicap Match!"

JR: "We're back and we are all set for our opening match, as Chris Jericho faces not one, but two men next with a chance to become a Raw Superstar once again."

Handicap Match:

Hurricane & Rosey vs Chris Jericho

The opening match saw Chris Jericho take on both Rosey and Hurricane in a Handicap Match. The Tag Team dominated from the start with both men attacking Jericho before the ref was able to take control and got Hurricane out the ring allowing Rosey to continue the attack inside the ring. Rosey beat down Jericho before making the tag to Hurricane who climbed the turnbuckle and came flying off, only for Jericho to move at the last second as Hurricane hit the mat. The fans chanted for Jericho who slowly climbed to hit feet at the same time as Hurricane and the two went at it together laying punches at each other before Jericho took over and stunned his opponent. Jericho whipped Hurricane to the ropes and he came back to be met by a huge backdrop. Rosey went to climb in but Jericho moved and hit a dropkick as Rosey tried climbing through and he collapsed towards the outside, but his foot got caught in the ropes and he dangled upside down outside the ring.

Jericho sent Hurricane into the turnbuckle and ran in with a clothesline before Hurricane staggered out into the middle of the ring and hit an enzuguri knocking Hurricane down, while the ref checked on Rosey trying to release him. Jericho ran and came bouncing off the middle rope and hit a Lionsault on Hurricane before getting to his feet and then grabbing Hurricane's legs and turning him over locking in a Walls of Jericho. The ref eventually released Rosey from being tied to the ropes and he fell to the outside before he turned to see Hurricane tapping out as he called for the bell awarding the match and return to the active roster list Chris Jericho.

The Arrival?

After the video, we saw the parking lot where a limo was parked, and the driver got out as he walked to the back and opened the door, and out stepped in a business suit and shades, Triple H. He stood almost with a snarl on his face angry at losing again last night before he made his way towards the arena doors smashing them open and walking inside as we headed back to the ring.

The Coach's Corner: Triple H & Ric Flair

Back inside the ring we found the stage set up as stood in the middle was the host of our next feature, The Coach's Corner with Jonathan Coachman.

Coach: "Folks, last night at Helloween, we witnessed two upsets on the card. I am of course talking about the supposedly, 'The Real Heartbreak Kid' Michael Shane defeating 'The Nature Boy' Ric Flair, and the other, the return of the man who everybody thought was dead, Shelton Benjamin as he came back and once again defeated the Ten Times World Heavyweight Champion Triple H. Well it is my honour, to bring these two men out here, so give it up, for 'The Nature Boy' Ric Flair and Triple H."

The crowd awaited the arrival, as the music then hit around the arena 'Its time to play the game' and out walked Triple H on his own to some heat from the fans. He stood carrying a water bottle and looked around before he made his way down to the ring and took a drink before climbing the steps and into the ring as Coach looked on waiting for Ric Flair but he didn't show up.

Coach: "Hunter, first I want to say it is an honour to have you as a guest on my show, but before we talk about last night, I was wondering, is Ric Flair with you?"

HHH: "Coach, at this moment I don't care if Ric Flair is about, what I have to say don't concern him, what I do have to say will concern you Shelton Benjamin. Last night, you once again did something that no one has ever done, you kept up your winning record by beating me. **POP** Well this won't last forever, I know it, these fans know it, and more importanly YOU know it. Next week Shelton, one final time, one last match, winner takes all as they say, me and you. If you win, then I will finally leave you alone, and I will do something I have never done to anyone in this ring before, and that is I will shake your hand. But, if I win, then you will finally agree that the best man won. What do you...."

Suddenly Triple H is cut off, as echos of 'Whooo' is heard around the arena and out walked to his theme music and a huge pop from the fans came 'The Nature Boy' Ric Flair as Triple H stood angrily in the ring. Ric Flair walked down in his business suit and climbed the steps before getting Coach to open the ropes before he climbed through into the ring and walked over to take hold of a mic.

HHH: "Now, before I was rudely interupted...."

Flair: "WHOOOOOOOO!"

Triple H turns angrily as he snarls at Flair before reacting.

HHH: "Naitch, what the hell are you doing, this is my time, this is my chance to finally say what needs to be said, so I suggest you do the right thing and shut up to allow me to finish!"

Flair looks at Triple H in shock at what he said to him, and just as Triple H went to speak again, Ric Flair interupted.

Flair: "Whooooooo! **Triple H went to speak again** Whoooooo! **Triple H started to get furious and he went to speak for the last time holding the mic near his mouth as he opened it to say something before interupted again** WHOOOOOOOO!"

Flair: "Listen up man, this is 'The Nature Boy' speaking, whooooo! You've said what you wanted to say, and now its time for the real man to speak, whoooo!"

Ric Flair walked over and stood in front of Triple H speaking to the camera as Triple H ran his hands through his hair behind him angry at this interuption he keeps getting.

Flair: "Michael Shane, the Real Heartbreak Kid as he likes to call himself, well this is for you, WHOOOOO! I'm the Nature Boy, the greatest Champion in the history of this business, and last night I got screwed by you Kid. Well if there is to be any screwing around here, it will be by me, 'The Nature Boy' Ric Flair, WHOOOOOOO!"

Triple H moves to the side and he steps in front of Ric Flair stealing the spotlight once again.

HHH: "This one is for you Shelton, like I was saying, next week, one on one, no rules, no countouts, just a match between me and you winner takes all."

Flair: "Whoooooo!"

Triple H quickly turns around and goes nose to nose with Ric Flair.

HHH: "Naitch, will you stop the hell doing that when I am speaking. This is my show Naitch, this is my group, my time, you had your chance and you blew it just like your career, now I suggest before you do anything else, you get the hell out of my ring."

The two stand going nose to nose before Ric Flair backs off slightly, and Triple H smiles, until Flair suddenly comes back and goes nose to nose again directly in the face of Triple H.

Flair: "Whooooo, Whooooo, Whooooo, WHOOOOO, WHOOOOO, WHOOOOOOOOOO! Listen up Hunter, no one, not even you talks to the Nature Boy like that. WHOOOOO!"

Coach steps forward to try and break them up as he pushes them apart and speaks.

Coach: "Wait up one minute guys, you two are the greatest wrestlers alive today, you both know it, so why the trouble? You Ric, are the sixteen times World Champion, and you Triple H are the Ten Times World Champion. Your both in Evolution, you were both the greatest of friends, now why all the problems?"

HHH: "The problem is standing right here in this ring Coach, this man, who I once called my friend, the man who stood side by side next to me for years is now the man who thinks he can once again be the champion. Listen up Naitch, this is my chance to shine, you had your hundred years of glory, and look at you now, still trying to hold onto the past. Forget it Naitch, it's time you finally stepped down and admitted defeat."

Flair: "Admit Defeat, I'm the Nature Boy, **Flair does his little strut in the ring** Im Ric Flair, the Greatest Living Legend World Heavyweight Champion of all time. WHOOOOOOO! Hunter, I stood by your side, I walked down to this ring week in, week out watching your back, and look at you, your nothing. You don't even hold a title, you call yourself the greatest wrestler alive today, well listen up BOY, I'm the greatest wrestler of ALL TIME! WHOOOOOO!"

HHH: "Naitch, you don't want get into this with me, you saw what I did to Shelton."

Flair: "I saw alright, I saw him whoop your ass last night at 'Helloween'."

HHH: "Ric, you want a fight, then you've got one. **POP** But you stand in line just like everyone else who thinks they can beat Triple H, coz first next week as I was saying, it will be me and Shelton Benjamin for one last time. Then, when I've finished with Shelton, me and you will have more than just words Ric!"

Triple H snarls at Ric Flair before he slowly walks off, climbing through the ropes and walking up the ramp leaving Flair and Coach in the ring.

JR: "Folks, next week, Shelton Benjamin and Triple H will go at it for one last match, but coming up right now we have Chris Masters defending the belt he won not too long ago against Rhyno."

World Television Championship:

Chris Masters vs Rhyno

First out for this title match came Rhyno to a good pop from the fans, before the crowd started to give some heat as it went silent for a moment and we witnessed Chris Masters entrance at the top of the stage area removing his gown and revealing the World Television Championship around his waist before he made his three trademark poses and then walked down to climb in the ring.

The match got underway and Masters started off well, working on Rhyno's shoulders and arms before Rhyno came back with the backing of the fans and he may have picked up a win, as he went to hit a Gore on Chris Masters who luckily moved out the way at the last moment and Rhyno crashed into the ring post shoulder first, which allowed Masters to take hold of him again and smash his shoulder once more against the ring post before signalling for the finish. Rhyno staggered backwards out of the corner clutching onto his now injured shoulder, and this allowed Chris Masters to lock in the Masterlock and push Rhyno around. After a minute of Rhyno being unable to escape, the ref checked on him and then called for the bell as Masters threw Rhyno to the ground and given back his World TV Championship.

Finally Some Respect!

After the match, we went backstage where we saw the new Owner of Raw, Damien sat on the couch in his office along with his lady friend sat next to him as her arm was around his back. Suddenly, a knock at the door came and in walked 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan, the 'Allah' Champion, and his friend and 'Womens Champion' Ameera walk inside the room and over to where Damien was still sat.

Hassan: "Let us introduce ourselves, I am the man who has the greatest, and I have to say longest Unbeaten run on Raw, and I am your 'Allah' Champion here, 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan, and standing next to me, is the woman who made my dream possible, she is the 'Womens Champion', Ameera."

Damien: "Welcome to the new office of the new Owner of Raw."

Hassan: "Thank you, and let me say what an honour it is to have someone, as gracious, as honoured as yourself in charge of this show. When you beat your father, when you defeated him in that ring last night, myself and my friends celebrated knowing that finally we would have someone in charge around here, who does not discriminate, who shares the beliefs of what it is like to be an outsider, someone who understands where we come from."

Damien: "Thank you for your comments Mr Hassan, and let me say how delighted I am with you being one of our champions right here on Raw. Now, I'm sure you come here for another reason than to just thank me for winning my match last night."

Hassan: "Well, Sir, as you may know last night that team of Revolutionaries as they like to call themselves, they robbed us of another crowning moment in the history of fighting injustice. I ask you, as the new owner, and a fellow man who knows about injustice, to let us seek revenge against the man who's mission it is to make fun and ridicule not only myself but this company and what you stand for."

Damien: "I tell you what, I'm in a good mood after my win last night, so coming up next, it will be a match between the leader of the Revolution, Matt Hardy **POP**, as he takes on not only you 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan, but also your fellow Arab-American Ansari. How do you like that idea?"

Hassan: "I love that idea, thank you for helping us reach out and show the injustice that not only the Revolution and Matt Hardy did, but what your father started and I promise you will no be disappointed by what we will do to Matt Hardy."

Damien: "Just make sure I'm not, now if you don't mind, me and my lady here wish to be alone!"

Hassan and Ameera walked off out the room smiling at getting the match they wanted.

OR: 70.6%

Handicap Match:

Matt Hardy vs Ansari & 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan

First out came the leader of the Revolution, Matt Hardy who was all alone with the others doing some charity work elsewhere. The heat then poured down as out walked the Arab-Americans. Ansair, Ameera and 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan walked out all in similar costumes, as they looked around at the American fans before making their way down to the ring.

As Hassan climbed in, Matt Hardy immediately went to work attacking the 'Allah' Champion as Ansari jumped in only to be thrown straight back out the other side of the ring by Matt Hardy. Hardy then worked on Hassan some more hitting a huge backdrop and some clotheslines on him, as Ansari jumped onto the ring apron trying to get in but kept getting knocked back out by Matt Hardy each time.

Hardy slammed Hassan down in the ring before climbing up to the 2nd turnbuckle and came down with a big legdrop on Hassan before covering as the ref counted, only for Ameera to grab Hassan's foot and put it on the bottom rope before shouting at the ref to stop the count as he saw the foot on the ropes and broke the count.

Hardy was furious knowing what he believed had happened, and he went out after Ameera who tried pleading her innocence before Ansari ran around and attacked Hardy from behind coming to Ameera's defence. He whipped Hardy into the steel steps and shot him back in the ring as Hassan was getting to his feet.

They both then double teamed on Hardy with kicks and shots to his back keeping him down on the mat, before Ansari held Hardy up by his arms and Hassan ran to the ropes and came back with a clothesline but Hardy escaped and Hassan hit Ansari full on as he collapsed backwards and through the ropes to the outside.

Hardy came back as he attacked Hassan once again and sent him to the corner and went in after him with a big clothesline. Hassan staggered out and Hardy kicked him in the gut, and set him up before hitting a Twist of Fate on his opponent and covered, as the hand came down for the three only just broken up as Ansari just got inside and jumped on Hardy to stop the count.

Ansari then went at it with Hardy only for Matt to fight back and he sent Ansari into the corner, and this was followed by Hassan being sent crashing into him as well, before Hardy went to run in, but Hardy grabbed the ref and pulled him in the way.

Hassan kept a hold of the ref and Hardy looked on, but Ameera climbed in behind Matt Hardy and got down to lift her arm up hitting a low blow on Matt Hardy who fell to his knees as Ameera jumped out the ring, before Hassan let go of the ref.

The ref looked around to see Hardy down on his knees and wondered what happened as Hassan moved out and gave a slow cut throat to the crowd who hated this torment before he grabbed Hardy and hit an Inverted STO before covering for the pinfall.

After the match as the ref awarded the victory, Ansari came back into the ring after climbing out carrying two chairs handing one to Hassan as both waited. Hardy climbed to his feet as he turned to be met by a huge chair shot from Ansari, and turned around before Hassan layed a second vicious chair shot to Hardy's head as he crashed to the mat. Hardy was out cold as Hassan got down and locked him in place, as he put Hardy in a Camel Clutch seeing Hardy's head cut open and blood pouring out from the two chair shots he had taken.

The ref tried to get Hassan to break it up but he wouldn't before more officials ran down and eventually Hassan broke the hold, as they checked on Hardy. Hassan moved to the center of the ring and stood above Matt Hardy's bloody and beaten body as he stood next to Ansari and Ameera on each side of him as they raised their arms in victory to the boo'ing from the crowd.

A promo was shown next of what lead to tonight's Main Event. We saw photos of last night's 'Helloween' as we saw Christian pull 'The Master' Randy Orton back into the ring as he tried escaping from the steel cage, before we saw a photo of Stacy Keibler run down, and then a shot of her smashing the door onto Christian's face knocking him back in the ring and out cold, before we saw her climb in and push Orton out to retain his World Heavyweight Championship. We then saw shots of Christian take his revenge as he pulled Stacy back in the ring and locked the doors, before he hit an Un-Prettier on Stacy inside of the Steel Cage.

We then saw some moments from the top of the show, as we saw Damien announce tonights Main Event, before a promo showed the two men who will be in action, Kane and Christian.

JR: "We are back for the final time everyone and what a Main Event we have, Christian who almost won the title last night will go up against the Monster Kane after the match was made by Damien at the top of tonights show."

Christian vs 'The Monster' Kane

First, the pyros exploded on the ring posts as out walked accompanied by his new friend Maria, the Monster Kane as they walked down to the ring, before they both climbed inside and Kane raised and dropped his arms as the pyros exploded once again which seemed to delight Maria.

The music then hit as the fans popped and out walked the man who last night almost captured the World Heavyweight Championship but attacked Stacy Keibler inside the Steel Cage, Christian. He made his way down to the ring and climbed inside, before stepping up onto the turnbuckles posing for the fans who were popping at seeing one of their favourites.

The match got underway and Kane dominated straight away as he tossed Christian around like a rag doll, with Christian unable to match Kane's strength. Instead Christian tried an alternative approach, as he lured Kane to the outside and climbed back in before Kane followed which allowed him to attack Kane and keep the Monster down.

Christian worked on Kane's legs trying to keep him from standing and it worked for a while until Kane started to come back and attack Christian. Christian was once again taking a beating before he got sent to the outside and he was lucky enough to reverse a shot to the corner as he sent Kane crashing into the ring post on the outside.

Christian looked around holding his chest in pain at what he went through last night and taking on Kane tonight, before he saw Maria standing around the other side of the ring. He made his way around towards her and he smiled as he stood looking at her, with Maria uneasy at what he was smiling about. Christian walked over and grabbed Maria, before he threw her under the bottom rope into the ring and followed her in. The ref tried to stop him but he grabbed Maria, as Kane looked on from the outside and slid in to stop what may happen after what he witnessed at the hands of Christian last night.

Kane stood at the other end of the ring, when Christian saw it and pushed Maria towards him as he grabbed her. Christian backed off for a moment, as Kane ushered Maria to goto the outside, as the ref helped, but Christian saw an opportunity and came from behind kicking Kane between the legs with a low blow as he grabbed himself and turned around allowing Christian the opportunity and he got Kane ready before finishing with a Un-Prettier and covering as the ref turned with Maria now on the outside and started the count giving the three before calling for the bell.

Christian got up as his hand was raised to a pop from the fans as he picked up a win against the odds against The Monster Kane. As Christian celebrated in the ring, out walked the new Owner Damien standing at the top of the ramp looking furious at his plan backfiring on him as they got in a staredown, before Christian indicated the World Heavyweight Championship belt would be his soon as we ended the show.

JR: "BAH GAWD, Christian gets the victory, but what will Damien have up his sleeve next week to stop this man."

WWE Raw Preview

Live from Indiana

November 7th 2005

Last week against all odds Christian picked up a victory over 'The Gatherings' Kane after he used Maria to distract the Monster. Elsewhere Chris Jericho regained his position back on the active roster list after he beat Rosey & Hurricane in a Handicap Match. What will be in store for both these men tonight, while it has been confirmed on wwe.com that both Chris Jericho and Christian will team up tonight as they take on four men in a special four on two Handicap match. Will both these Canadians be able to make it through the night unhurt?

Was last week the beginning of the end of Evolution? The cracks started to show as Triple H appeared on 'The Coachs Corner' only for Ric Flair to come out and talk over him. This week both these men will have to have their minds on their own matches as Ric Flair will look to gain some revenge against the man who has knocked him out twice in 'The Real Heartbreak Kid' Michael Shane, while Shelton Benjamin will look to continue his winning streak against Triple H in what is scheduled to be their final encounter.

Last week 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan and his tag team partner and fellow 'Arab-American' Ansari put a beat down on the leader of the 'Revolution' Matt Hardy while his fellow Revolutionaries were doing promotional work elsewhere leaving him to fight for himself. After Damien was impressed with Hassan's actions, he has added both Hassan and Ansari into the Four on Two Handicap Match to face Christian and Chris Jericho. Can Hassan keep the boss happy by helping to beat down the two men who are not backing down against 'The Gathering'.

The credits then hit and pyros hit the stage area as we are live for WWE Raw.

World Heavyweight Champion!

The music played as out walked carrying his World Heavyweight Championship belt, 'The Master' Randy Orton as he walked down the ramp and made his way up the steps before climbing in the ring. He climbed the turnbuckle posing for the fans who gave some heat towards the champ before he stepped down and took hold of a mic.

Orton: "Eight days ago, something happened, something happened that was against the rules, it was against any human belief, and that was when one man, when Christian **pop** laid his hands on my wife, Stacy Keibler. To do that act of inhumanity to a woman, to actually lay your hands on something that is not yours, then you have to pay a price Christian. **POP** That's right, you applaud him, you applaud a man who beat up a woman, that's typical of this place we're in, it's typical of you inbreeds in this town **HEAT**. Christian, you are gonna pay the price for what you did to Stacy. Last week, you got lucky, you beat the Monster Kane but only because you cheated to victory, just like how you cheated to try and beat me at Helloween. I crawled out of the Steel Cage, defending this World Heavyweight Championship Belt **holds it up high** on my own **heat**. You had your chance now Christian, and just like Batista before you, you have come up against someone who you cannot beat. It doesn't matter if it's a Steel Cage, a Hell In A Cell, or even a Ladder Match, the announcement is always the same, and that is I am the Greatest World Heavyweight Champion this company has ever seen, I'm the Youngest champion ever in the history of this company. Well after discussions with Damien, who isn't here this week because he needs to just finalise all the paperwork to be rightfully named as the New Owner of this company. Well after discussing it with Damien, we come up with a plan for tonight, that is to cause you more pain once again, you see last week you were lucky Christian, when you beat Kane, but tonight, luck won't be on your side, in fact, on your side will be another fellow Canadian, and a man who pissed off Damien last week when he managed to somehow put himself back on the Active Roster List, Chris Jericho **POP**. Tonight, the two of you will go up against not one, not two, that would be too easy for you, you will be going up against four men in a Four on Two Handicap Match. Facing you tonight, are The Hurricane & Rosey, and two men who last week pleased the boss in their anhiliation of Matt Hardy, 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan and Ansari. Welcome to Hell Christian, welcome to the world where you cannot win at all costs!"

'The Master' Randy Orton smiled as the fans gave some heat towards him.

JR: "You have to feel sorry for Christian and Jericho who are gonna be up against it all tonight?"

No Escape Orton?

As Orton posed and smiled, suddenly some music hit and out walked to a huge pop from the fans, Christian holding a mic and stopping at the top of the stage signalling to his Peeps in the audience tonight.

Christian: "So tonight I will pay Randy, tonight as you say I can't win at any cost?"

Orton: "That's right Christian, tonight, you are gonna pay for what you did to my wife, and if it wasn't for this cold I had, I would deal with you myself."

Christian: "Cold? Oh, I'm sorry Randy, you have a cold so obviously you can't wrestle tonight, I mean god forbid that you should you know, actually get in that ring tonight to compete against me. **pop** But there is something you forgot about Randy, how long have you had that belt, what, 4 months or so? Well you forgot who currently holds the 'Money In The Bank' contract? That's right, moi, yours truly, the next World Heavyweight Champion, CHRISTIAN **POP**. Randy, in 3 weeks time we have another huge Pay Per View, entitled, 'No Escape'. And what a name that sums up perfectly what the Main Event will be. You see Randy, in three weeks time, the Main Event will be, you, 'The Master' Randy Orton taking on me, Christian for the World Heavyweight Championship. This won't be any ordinary match though, you see, it has to be something special. That is why, at 'No Escape' it will be two men locked inside, for the first time in the history of this business, a Steel Cage Of Hell!"

JR: "What the, what is Christian talking about a Steel Cage of Hell?"

Randy Orton looks on wondering what he is talking about.

Orton: "What the, what the hell are you talking about Christian? Make up your mind, is it a Steel Cage or a Hell In A Cell?"

Christain: "It's BOTH RANDY! That's right, we will be locked inside a Steel Cage **POP**, 15 foot high, no way out, because outside that Steel Cage will be a Hell In A Cell. **POP** So even if your lucky to escape the steel cage, they will definitely be No Escape from the Hell in The Cell!"

Randy Orton looks stunned at this Huge Pay Per View Main Event, and the first of it's kind in the history of the business.

Christian: "There is another surprise Randy, but I'll keep that for later. Count down the days Randy, count down the days to you finally losing your title to the next World Heavyweight Champion, THE PEEP'S CHAMPION, CHRISTIAN **POP**"

Christian smiled and posed for the fans signalling to them once again before he walked off backstage leaving Randy Orton worried at this announcement.

JR: "We're back and what a huge announcement we just saw moments ago by Christian, as he challenged the World Heavyweight Champion 'The Master' Randy Orton to a Steel Cage of Hell match. That is the first time I have ever heard of anything like this, not only will they be locked inside a fifteen foot steel cage, but if any one of them is lucky to escape that, then they will be trapped inside a 20 foot Hell in A Cell. **music starts of Simon Dean** We'll have more about that hopefully later, but coming up right now we are gonna see the World Tag Team Champions in action."

World Tag Team Championship Match:

The Problem Solvers © vs Simon Dean & Garrison Cade

This was a total squash match for the World Tag Team Champions. One funny moment in the match came near the end when Simon Dean was stuck in the middle of the ring all alone as Cade got sent to the outside. Dean offered both Tyson Tomko and Batista one of his Simon Shakes which they took and drank down. They both then looked at each other, and both put their thumbs in their mouths and blew on them, acting like they were blowing up their muscles as their arms grew bigger and bigger moving up until they were pumped up fully.

Dean smiled at this until he turned to be met by a huge boot to the face from Tyson Tomko who came off the ropes and knocked him out. Batista then gave the thumbs up to thumbs down and picked Dean up for the final Batista Bomb and pinfall picking up the easy win.

The two superstars looked at each other unhappy with bumping into the other one as they got into a huge staredown that lasted for a minute or two with no one speaking but the crowd giving a pop waiting for something to happen, until officials came running down and pulled each man apart as they both got dragged away from each other not taking their eyes off the other superstar while walking away.

First out came the latest superstar of Raw, 'The Real Heartbreak Kid' Michael Shane as he danced around on his way to the ring acting more like Shawn Michaels, until the 2001 theme played and out walked Ric Flair to a nice pop from the fans, and the match eventually got under way.

Shane started well and worked on Flair sending him into a big backdrop and flying into the corner before doing his comedy falling flat on his face routine. Flair came back for a while working on Shane's legs and looking like he may go for the finisher only for for an appearance from Triple H who casually walked down to the ring and stood outside watching, distracting Ric Flair.

This allowed Shane to get to his feet, and set himself up as he waited before Flair turned around and Shane struck with some Sweet Chin Music. Only this time, Flair knew it was coming and he grabbed Shane's foot in mid air. He danced around with him as Shane was left hopping about before Flair took him down, and then moved into position as he locked in the Figure 4 Leglock.

Shane was struggling with the pain and he tried reaching the ropes but his fingertips just couldn't reach them as Triple H looked on. Flair applied more pressure on Shane as he screamed out in pain, when as the ref was looking at Ric Flair, Triple H pushed the ropes further in the ring which allowed Shane to be able to grab them as the ref saw it and told Flair to break the hold.

Flair eventually broke it and looked upset at Triple H interfering in his match, as he climbed to his feet and moved to the ropes shouting abuse down at Triple H. Unfortunately for him, this did allow the chance once again as Shane struggled to his feet, and Flair turned around to be met this time with a perfect shot of Sweet Chin Music which connected to his face knocking him down and out. Shane climbed over the top and the ref counted the three before calling for the bell as 'The Real Heartbreak Kid' Michael Shane was announced as the winner of the match. Triple H just casually walked up the ramp and backstage not looking back at his former best friend who he just helped get beat.

Why Turn On Best Friend?

After the match, backstage we saw Triple H walk down the corridor when Maria ran up behind him and stopped him trying to get some answers to why he just did what he did to Ric Flair.

Maria: "Triple H, Triple H **finally catches up with him as he stops and she gets ready to ask a question** Triple H, the people will surely want to know why you just distracted your best friend Ric Flair which lead to the opportunity for 'The Real Heartbreaker' Michael Shane to hit the Superkick?"

HHH: "You want to know why I just helped, what they call him, 'The Real Heartbreak Kid' beat my former, best friend Ric Flair. It's quite simple, for years, I have still been stood in Naitch's shadow, wherever I go all anyone says is, 'wheres Ric', 'wheres the nature boy Hunter'. Well Im sick of it, I created Evolution, it was my group, my team of 4 of the greatest wrestlers to help back me up, and just like Batista, just like Randy Orton, they all got to big for their boots and thought they could do better without me. Well tonight, I showed Naitch that I am still the Man, I am still the Greatest Wrestler Alive Today. It doesn't take someone to go out and interfere in a match, it doesn't take me to get inside that ring and beat the living hell out of someone to show why they call me 'The Cerebral Assasin'. I AM THE GAME."

Maira: "Later tonight, you have to go up against the one man who holds an unbeaten record against you, in Shelton Benjamin."

HHH: "That's right, tonight I finally get to show the whole world that Shelton Benjamin was just on some strange lucky streak everytime he beat me in that ring, and it will end tonight believe me. In this ring I will gain back the respect of everyone in this locker room, when I pin Shelton Benjamin in the center of the ring. You see Shelton, you've been extremely lucky on a number of occasions when you faced me, you know it and these fans know it. Tonight, The Game RETURNS!"

Triple H walked off leaving Maria stood holding the mic on her own.

But it looks like we are ready and Eugene is in the ring waiting for our next match."

Birthday for Eugene?

As we returned from the video, we found Eugene in the ring and getting ready for action as he takes off his jacket over his head and throws it to the outside as he gets all excited about his match. Suddenly, two men wheel out a huge box as they use a trolley to take it down to the outside of the ring and then leave it there as they walk back off up the ramp and disappear.

Inside Eugene looks on wondering what is going on as he slides out the ring and walks around to look at the box, which has a note taped to the side reading:

"To Eugene, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!"

Eugene gets all excited even though it isn't his birthday and he walks around this huge box getting more and more excited as he jumps up and down clapping at this present hes got.

He slowly starts to open the side of the giant box as suddenly it rips open and out jumps laying punches to Eugene, none other than Steven Richards as he takes it to Eugene sending him crashing into the ring post on the outside. He then grabs Eugene and starts laying some more blows down on one of the fan favourites, before he sends him into the ring and follows him in.

Richards picks Eugene up and sends him crashing into the turnbuckles in the corner and follows it up with a big clothesline sending him down as he sat in the corner allowing Richards to put some kicks into Eugene. A ref came running down and tried to break it up, but Richards just got him and threw him over the top rope and outside the ring.

Richards then pulled Eugene out from the corner and got him ready before he hit a big DDT and then stood above the beaten man as the boo's came down on him from the fans for his vicious attack on Eugene.

JR: "Here we go, a match I have been looking forward to all night. This will be the Final Encounter between these two men, can Triple H finally get one up on Shelton Benjamin, or will Shelton continue his unbeaten record against the Ten Times World Heavyweight Champion?"

Final Encounter:

Shelton Benjamin vs Triple H

Shelton Benjamin got a huge pop as he walked out and climbed in the ring, before the crowd gave some good heat as out walked Triple H making his way down to the ring. The match eventually got started as both men looked at beating their opponent.

Triple H started well dominating the match as he took down Shelton Benjamin with a series of punches and whips to the corners. Triple H made the mistake though as he ran in after him into the corner only for Shelton to lift his legs and hit Triple H in the face stunning for the former ten times World Champion.

Shelton came back with some vicious chops to Triple H and giving a big backdrop before sending Triple H into the corner and running in for the Stinger Splash he does so well. Shelton then got set as Triple H stumbled out of the corner and he set him up hitting a T-Bone Supplex on Triple H before making the cover. The ref got down and the crowd chanted along with him as somehow Triple H just kicked out at the last second leaving Shelton in shock.

Shelton picked him up and went to throw him to the ropes only for Triple H to reverse and Triple H connected with a moving Shelton Benjamin with a high knee knocking him down. Triple H then turned his head as he saw Ric Flair walking down the aisle and standing outside infuriating Triple H.

Triple H screamed out at Flair to watch the Greatest Wrestler Alive today in action. Triple H then turned as Shelton got to his feet and turned to be met by a kick to the gut, and Triple H turned around to face Flair before he hit a perfect Pedigree on Shelton Benjamin to the fans heat of this victory.

Triple H made the cover, as the ref got down to count, only for Flair to shout at the ref to stop the count as Shelton Benjamin had his foot on the bottom rope, which Flair had quickly done without Triple H or the Ref seeing it. The ref broke the count and Triple H was furious at this interference of a match he knew he had won.

Triple H stood up and shouted at Flair to keep out of his business, while Shelton climbed to his feet. Triple H grabbed him and whipped him to the turnbuckle as he turned to look back at Flair, but he didn't see Shelton jump up onto the top turnbuckle and turn around instead of crashing into it. Triple H did some more finger pointing at Flair until he turned around and Shelton Benjamin came flying off with a splash coming down hard on Triple H.

Shelton got to his feet and crouched down ready as Triple H struggled up and turned to be met by a waiting Shelton Benjamin who grabbed Triple H in position and hit a second T-Bone Supplex on him, followed by a pinfall. The ref got down to count, and not seeing once again, this time Ric Flair grabbing a hold of Triple H's leg and holding him down as the ref counted the three and awarded the victory to Shelton Benjamin to a huge pop from the fans.

Shelton's hand got raised as Triple H was furious at this and complained to the ref, before he saw Ric Flair walk back down the aisle and stand at the top of the ramp, as Triple H slid out and ran down the ramp after him as they both disappeared backstage.

But what a Main Event we have now, a 4 on 2 Handicap Match and will Chris Jericho and Christian be able to go up against all odds coming up right now."

4 vs 2 Handicap Match:

Hurricane/Rosey & 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan/Ansari vs Christian & Chris Jericho

The four men were already waiting in the ring for their opponents as Ameera stood on the outside holding Hassan's title belt. The music of Christian then hit as both men walked out looking uneasy at this match they have been put in as they walked down the ramp and climbed the steps to get in the ring.

The match got underway with Jericho and Rosey starting it off, with Rosey dominating and making quick tags between himself and Hurricane who both worked over Jericho. Jericho was taking a beating when Hassan stepped in the ring and continued the assault, slapping Jericho's face as he stood in the corner. This upset Jericho though who got worked up and turned it around placing Hassan in the corner and hitting some vicious chops to Hassan's body heard around the arena, before sending him to the ropes and coming back into a Sleeper Hold.

Jericho had Hassan down and almost out when Hurricane jumped in to break it up, as the ref told him to get out the ring, as both men were down. Each man crawled to their corner, and both succesfully made a tag, as Hassan tagged in Ansari and Jericho made the tag to Christian to a nice pop from the fans. Christian ran in and clotheslined Ansari down before knocking Hassan outside the ring with a back elbow as he fell between the ropes and out while Ameera ran around to help him.

Christian dominated Ansari for a few moments as he hit a big backdrop and went for a cover, only for Hurricane once again to climb in and break the count, as he kicked Christian in the back a few times and picked him up as Rosey climbed in. Hurricane held Christian as Rosey ran and came off the ropes and ran at him, only for Christian to somehow get out the way as Rosey collided with Hurricane who flew backwards and under the bottom rope and out, before Rosey turned to be met by a Dropkick by Christian who then fell outside the ring.

Hassan climbed in and went to attack Christian who ducked and Hassan got a clothesline of his own from Chris Jericho before he picked him up and sent him over the top crashing to the outside once again. Ansari climbed to his feet and turned as Jericho hit an Enzuguri on him as Ansari crashed to the mat face up, before Jericho ran to the ropes and hit a Lionsault on Ansari.

Ansari then stumbled to his feet and turned to be met by a kick to the gut from Christian who then hit him with a Un-Prettier and covered for the pinfall as the crowd popped at the victory against the odds for Chris Jericho and Christian.

Fair Game?

After the match, Jericho and Christian were celebrating in the ring when suddenly Hurricane and Rosey attacked from behind sending them down. Hassan then slid in and joined in with Ansari as well as all four men gave a beat down on Jericho and Christian for winning the match.

As they continued the domination over the two men, suddenly Matt Hardy, Robert Conway, Daivari and Lita came from through the crowd and jumped over the barrier, as Conway and Daivari slid in the ring to come to the aid of their friends, as Hardy grabbed a chair and climbed in.

Hassan turned as he got met with a hard chair shot from Matt Hardy as he collapsed back and under the bottom ropes to the outside before being checked on by Ameera. Hurricane then got threw over the top rope by Daivari before Matt Hardy and Robert Conway went and clotheslined Rosey over the top rope and out. Lita slid in the ring to eventually join them as the four now beaten men crawled up the ramp.

JR: "BAH GAWD, WHAT WILL DAMIEN AND RANDY ORTON DO NOW AFTER THIS HUMILIATION?"

The show ended with a shot of both The Revolution and Jericho and Christian stood in the ring, Matt Hardy clutching onto a steel chair, as Hurricane and Rosey and their tag team partners of 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan and Ansari along with Ameera stood at the top of the ramp looking down on the men who just fought back against this attack as we end the show.

[TheRyno]

I'm really digging this diary, as it's one of the only WWE diaries I read on a regular basis. I wanted to wait to see how the Damien story went before I said something though. That was pretty much my main draw to it, but at first, I didn't think it was perfect. Even though Vince was supposed to be a face, I found myself rooting for Damien because Vince is enough of a scumbag that he really could have a one night stand with a woman, leave her for dead and put her son in a mental institution. But the whole thing with Damien's mother not being real and the "offensive" promo just made it work so well. Now you're doing other things a lot better, like the slow-burn to a HHH/Flair feud as opposed to the sudden turn that WWE did. Bringing back the heel Jericho only to have him turn face by default. And Christian's title hunt as well because I'm sure most of us (myself included) would've automatically put the title on him last PPV. The only thing I have a problem buying is cocky-ass Randy Orton being the leader of a goth stable. I was also drawn to see who the Master was going to be but was a bit disappointed that it was Orton, even though it made sense.

[goodieuk]

Thanks TheRyno for your comments. I was unsure about the 'Damien' character myself at first but I really got into him and tried coming up with good storylines of how he could be involved in the company (eg. Vince's unknown son). At times I do have 'controversial' or 'offensive' comments or promos in the diary (and does contain another 'controversial' moment in the episode on 14th November), which some may not like but I think since this is a diary it allows me to go closer to the edge that the real wwe wouldnt do or show on tv and i think thats what diaries are all about, letting your imagination go wild with ideas.

The Christian vs Randy Orton 'Helloween' Main Event I loved writing, especially the controversial ending which of course sets up the rematch at 'No Escape' this month set in my own creation 'Steel Cage of Hell'. Randy is more co-leader or 2nd in command of the group, Damien being in command as he was the one who brought Randy back from the brink of destruction after he lost at WM21 to The Undertaker. Like you said it made sense that Orton was 'The Master' since he was injured and needed time out to recover before returning and set him up for his return to the company. Goth Stable, I guess you could call it that, lol, I just find it more of a Dark stable that is willing to do anything to get what needs to be done. I do have Kane returning in a few weeks time on Raw with a new 'Goth Edgy Look' to him I feel.

Like I said before, this was posted elsewhere till forum folded, therefore I have written episodes upto and including Monday 28th November (which is 1 episode after No Escape PPV). I also have my rough guide to the 'Major Storyline' that will figure for the upcoming 6 months or more which I feel could get quite exciting. I have planned the Main Event of Wrestlemania 22 which I am still having as my big PPV of the year, and I think people will find it very interesting and still has the dark edge to it, plus what will take place after it so really looking forward to getting to that and writing it as I have so many ideas to set up the Match at WM22.

Cant believe I have been doing this diary for 8 months, usually I end it after a month writing a diary but I am enjoying writing this still and hopefully will keep it going for a long time yet. Thanks for the comments though, much appreciated.

The WWE confirmed that Stone Cold Steve Austin has left the company albeit he is rumoured to return in the future. Austin, who was only on a verbal contract with the company hasn't made many appearances, and aparently upset the company when he informed them he would be leaving first thing on the day of his release which was the morning of Raw. The company had hoped he would make one final appearance on Raw tonight in a storyline they planned where he would come out during Damien's Speech in the ring, only to hit a Stunner to Damien before being Fired by the new owner live on Raw. This has now been changed with rumours that a McMahon will now be making an appearance in replacement of Austin.

Attendance: 2,472

TV Audience: 876,455 viewers (down by 38,993)

The show kicked off with the closing scenes of last week, as we saw Christian and Chris Jericho pick up a shocking victory over four opponents. The music this hit for Raw and we are Live from South Carolina as the pyros hit the stage area and the crowd goes wild with JR standing by at his announce table.

JR: "Welcome everyone to Raw, and what a night we have planned for you. Tonight we will be seeing a Six Person Inter-Gender match as Matt Hardy, Robert Conway and Lita who came to Jericho's and Christian's rescue last week will be taking on 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan, Ansari and Ameera, and if you remember Lita at Helloween pinned the Women's Champion, and we understand that has put her in possible line for a title shot at our next pay per view 'No Escape' which will take place on November 27th. Later tonight we will be seeing both Trish Stratus and Victoria in a Number #1 Contenders match and the winner, will take part in the match against the Women's Champion Ameera. Also tonight, we will show you footage of earlier tonight before Raw started of a challenge issued between Chris Jericho who was re-instated to Raw just a couple of weeks ago, and he will team up with Chris Benoit as they will take on the World Tag Team Champions 'The Problem Solvers'. But what about our Main Event folks, we have been informed that tonight, the two men who will meet at 'No Escape' will be facing each other tonight as the World Heavyweight Champion 'The Master' Randy Orton will meet Christian in a Non-Title Match. **Arena goes dark, and eerie music kicks in** And it looks like we are gonna kick tonight off with the World Champion and the man who brought him back to the company, Damien."

Promises Tonight!

As the music played, and the arena was in slight darkness, the crowd gave some heat as out walked the man who beat Vince McMahon at 'Helloween' to take control of the company and Raw, Damien lead arm in arm by the woman who stood by his side since he escaped from where he was locked up, the woman who pretended to be Damien's own mother. They are accompanied by the World Heavyweight Champion walking behind them, 'The Master' Randy Orton.

They walked down to the ring as Orton climbed in and up on the turnbuckles posing with his title, while Damien opened the ropes for his girlfriend to climb inside the ring before following her. She then walked over and took hold of a mic and handed it to Damien as the crowd continued their heat at The Gathering.

Damien: "Live the moment people, for this is the future of what you have to see every week while I run this company. **HEAT** You can hate me as much as you want, but you are standing in my world, you are all standing in my arena and on my show, AND I RUN THIS DAMN BUSINESS DON'T YOU ALL FORGET IT!! **HUGE HEAT** Now, let's get started tonight, we will start with the man who last week somehow, against all the odds came out victorious with another win against four men. Well Christian, **POP** I heard what you said last week, I heard your little announcement regarding your match at 'No Escape' against the greatest Wrestler in this ring today, the 'World Heavyweight Champion' The Master Randy Orton. A 'Steel Cage of Hell', it's an interesting choice Christian, interesting in that when that match is over, that is exactly where you will be heading. TO HELL!"

The fans start a chant of 'asshole' as Damien starts growing angrier at this crowd while Orton tries calming him down along with the woman beside him.

Damien: "Listen up people, because I shall say this only once, tonight our Main Event will be Christian against Randy Orton in a Non-Title Match **Orton doesn't look happy at taking on Christian tonight**, but tonight will be the beginning of the end of Christian, because this won't be just any old match, oh no, I promised you Randy I would protect you, which is why, tonight the Main Event will be a Lumberjack Match!" **POP**

Orton smiles as he hears this, and shakes Damien's hand before Orton takes control of the mic for a moment.

Orton: "A Lumberjack match, I have to say Damien, that's Ingenius. And let me guess, the Lumberjacks will be several of the toughest men backstage right, several men who let's say, will have a certain someone's back? **Damien nods in agreement** Wow, well I have to take it all back, everything I said to you earlier tonight about why in god's name you made this match, but instead I should have known you had something up your sleeve. You kept your promise Damien, ever since I returned to Raw you have helped me, you helped me capture this belt against the one individual who I didn't think I could beat in the Animal Batista, and then, I beat Christian in our Steel Cage Match thanks to my wonderful wife's help, and let me tell you she will be here next week, after suffering that brutal assault after I beat you Christian, after you hit her inside that steel cage with that Un-Prettier, Stacy has a little surprise for you next week, so you have to make sure your here for that, as it's a knockout, as a matter of fact, you could say it's a R.K.O."

Orton laughs along with Damien and the woman as Damien takes hold of the mic once again.

Damien: "Now, getting back to tonight. Coming up shortly, three members of a group who came to me for help, a group who I thought could get the job done now have to pay for their mistakes. Coming up you will be seeing the Women's Champion Ameera, the 'Allah' Champion 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan and his friend Ansari, as they take on The Revolutionaries of Matt Hardy, Robert Conway and Lita in a Six Person Inter-Gender Match. But, there's more to that, you see if Lita is able to get a pinfall over Ameera tonight, then I guess that will have to guarantee her a title shot at 'No Escape', while, I suppose if The Arab-Americans lose their match, then also at 'No Escape', I will have to make plans for Hassan to defend his title against someone who is worthy of the challenge. Also tonight, Victoria will meet Trish Stratus in a Number #1 Contenders match, so if Lita does win, then the Women's belt will be on the line in a Triple Threat Match, but if Lita can't pick up a pinfall over Ameera, then it will be a simple Singles Match, so that's an incentive for you there Lita. What else have we got tonight, oh yes, The World Tag Team Champions, The Problem Solvers **POP** will be in action, as they take on both Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho in a Non-Title Match after the two Canadians asked me to make that match up after what took place earlier today, well you get your chance guys, and you had better make it worthwhile."

Orton stands still posing with the belt, as the woman moves and has her arm around Damien as he kisses her before starting to speak again.

Damien: "Regarding last week, as I finalised the deal to make me now the Owner of the company and Raw **Heat**, and after me and my lady Jenna here got down to some uncensored action, I decided to pay a visit to someone. Someone who, let's say helped me in a way. I decided to pay a visit to my father, Vincent Kennedy McMahon. **pop**. Now, while I can't tell you where he is, for obvious reasons, I paid my father a visit to see how he is going in his new home. And just for all you people I have specially recorded some of the moments that I thought you would all like to see and we will show you that later tonight and I promise you people, this is footage you just can't wait to see. **Smiles** Now it has come to my attention that a McMahon of all people will be making an appearance tonight. **POP** Well I say, come to Raw, come and see the footage of Vince. So wether it's Linda, or even Stephanie or Shane, **POP** I don't care who you are, come here to South Carolina, come to this arena, walk down this ramp and witness the man and what he has become now as you watch the footage I have to show. Come and see the end of the McMahon dynasty once and for all!"

Damien laughs as he drops the mic and they climb out the ring making their way up the ramp towards backstage as we headed to our first break.

After a while, Lita got tagged in as well as Ameera, as the two squared off, and Ameera slapped Lita before she came back taking Ameera down and beating her around the ring. Hassan tried to climb in but Hardy jumped in and took himself and Hassan out over the top rope while Ansari got took down by Conway.

The match continued with Lita climbing the top turnbuckle and somersaulting backwards directly onto Ameera before covering and the ref counted the three as The Revolution, and Lita picked up the victory once again.

Hassan and Ansari dragged Ameera out the ring and they walked up the ramp as The Revolution celebrated in the ring.

[sLAM OF THE WEEK: Christian announcing the 'Steel Cage of Hell Match' last week on Raw]

Respect?

As we returned from the short break, the music hit to a mixed reaction from the fans, 'Its Time To Play The Game' started up as out he walked ready for action, carrying his water bottle Triple H. He stood at the top of the ramp and posed for a moment before pouring some water over himself and then continuing his walk down the ramp before climbing in the ring and posing on the turnbuckles and then standing in the middle holding onto a mic ready to speak.

HHH: "Two weeks ago, I stood right here, on this spot in the middle of this ring and said something that few people believed. Although I demanded one final match, one Final Encounter against the man who has helped make my life a misery on this show since he came here over a year ago, I stood in this ring, and stated that if by any chance, by any fluke chance that Shelton beat me in that Final Encounter, then I would not only congratulate him, not only would I say it's over between the hate between us for what has taken place, but I would do the unthinkable, I would actually shake the hand of the man who no matter how much I tried, no matter what I gave every chance we faced each other, the one man that I, the Greatest Wrestler In The World, Triple H, could not beat. **POP** Yeah, you all applaud Shelton's victory, but that is just one man in hundreds that I have faced, and each one has got down and begged for no mercy, for no more pain when they step in this ring to face me. He is just one man in hundreds who I was unable to get a victory over, that is nothing to be ashamed of, in fact, it's a compliment to Shelton. You see, every man has an Archiles Heel, every man has something that no matter how hard they try, no matter how much blood, sweat and tears they go through, they just can't do it. Well Shelton, you are that Archiles Heel for me, and just like I promised two weeks ago, I ask you to come down here, and accept this handshake as a sign of respect between the two of us."

Triple H waits around as the fans wonder what is gonna happen, when the music hit. 'Its all about the Benjamins' played and out walked ready for action himself in blue wrestling gear walked Shelton Benjamin. At first he stood at the top of the ramp looking down on Triple H wondering if he should go and confront him, as the fans gave a pop for him, while Triple H waved for him to walk down and climb in the ring. Shelton casually made his way down and carefully climbed in the ring watching Triple H all the way in case of attack before he made his way around and took hold of a mic from Lillian.

HHH: "Shelton, like I have been saying, your the one man who I just couldn't beat no matter what I did, and even though, Im sure you'll admit you got some controversial decisions by beating me, like last week, then I wanted to come out here and show these fans, show everyone backstage that I am not the cruel bastard people think I am. So here I am Shelton, I promised it two weeks ago, no jumps from behind, no hidden clauses, no sneak attacks, I am offering my hand in respect for what you have achieved against me, so do the right thing Shelton, accept my handshake and let's forget about everything that has gone on in the past."

Triple H puts his hand out to shake Shelton's, but Shelton is unsure about it, as the fans try shouting out not to do it, which Triple H doesn't like. Instead Shelton goes to speak as Triple H pulls his hand back realising he is not ready to shake his hand yet.

Shelton: "You expect me, to just walk out here, stand in this ring and shake your hand after what you put me through, not only me but my family. You say I made your life a misery, but you put me through hell Hunter. Just because you had this obsession that you couldn't beat me, just because you couldn't accept that maybe between the two of us, I was always the better man. You not only made my life hell, but you almost ruined my family, the family who was sat at home watching that night, remember it Hunter, do you remember what you did."

HHH: "I remember what your talking about Shelton, what I did was maybe unforgivable, maybe I shouldn't have done it, but I suffered too Shelton. You pushed me to the limit, I used to come out here claiming I'm the best Champion in this company, and then there's this one guy, this one man who I just can't beat. That plays with your mind Shelton, it almost destroyed me. I know what I put you through, and I know what I put your family through, and I apologise for it, but you also have to take some blame for it" **Heat**

Shelton: "What, I have to take some blame for you actually trying to kill me Live on TV!"

HHH: "Yes you do Shelton, after all, both me and you were the only ones who knew I never killed you. You could have picked up that phone, you could have phoned your family and told them you were still alive and ok. But you didn't, you actually helped put your family through suffering by not doing what maybe you should have, so I can't take all that blame. Now like I was saying, I apologise for what I did to you, I accept my resonsibility for my actions, and I want to ask you for forgiveness. Now I know what your thinking Shelton, this is just another one of Triple H's tricks, after you turn your back I'll jump you and beat you down to within an inch of your life. **Heat** You can either listen to these people, or you can listen to me Shelton. I came out here because I promised that if you beat me last week then I would shake your hand, what happened between me and you is over, I have someone else I need to concentrate on now. Now I'm here, standing in this ring, in the middle of South Carolina **POP**, holding my hand out, don't let this opportunity pass you by Shelton, because it may never come around again. Even though it hurts me to even think about what I am about to say, I will say it anyway, I maybe a wrestling great Shelton, but I will admit, that you are a great wrestler."

Triple H holds his hand out one last time, as Shelton looks around at the fans who don't trust Triple H but Shelton slowly but surely holds his hand out and they shake hands without any complications.

HHH: "Shelton, you got guts doing this, and one day, I believe you will be a World Champion."

Shelton starts to back up as Triple H goes to talk.

JR: "I never thought I would see the day Triple H shook hands with Shelton Benjamin but picture this moment folks, as I doubt it will ever happen again!"

HHH: "Now this brings me to someone else, a former World Champion, in fact a former fifteen time World Champion."

Before he can continue though he is cut off, "whoooooo!" is heard around the arena and out walked in dressing robe and holding a mic, 'The Nature Boy' Ric Flair as he stands at the top of the ramp looking down on both Shelton Benjamin and Triple H stood in the ring.

HHH: "Ric, just the person I wan..."

Triple H gets cut off in the middle of his sentance which angers him.

Flair: "SHUT UP and listen, coz the Nature Boy is in town. WHOOOOOOOO! **POP** Hunter, I was sat backstage watching your acting there in that ring, and you deserve an oscar for that performance, whooooo! All that crap about respecting Shelton Benjamin, when you know in this business, you have to earn respect Hunter, you don't give Respect to people like Shelton who hasn't done anything in this company."

Shelton: "Hey Ric, I was the Intercontinental Champion, I'm a former Tag Team Champion over on Smackdown, hell, I have an amateur record that would wipe the floor with anything you have achieved."

Flair: "Is that so, well to me kid that don't mean squat. In case you have forgotten, I'm a Fifteen times, FIFTEEN TIMES WORLD CHAMPION. WHOOOOOO! No one can beat that kid, not even Triple H there in that ring. Whoooo!"

HHH: "Ric, you may be a fifteen times World Champion, but right now your a has-been. Your nothing Ric without me at your side. All them years of standing side by side, me watching your back, have you forgotten about that? Is your mind going senile old man?"

Flair: "Well obviously yours is Hunter, because if I remember right, it was me who was always coming to your rescue. How many times have you been close to losing the World Heavyweight Championship, only for 'The Nature Boy' to come running down that aisle and bail you out. Whoooo! Now last week, you cost me my match with 'The Real Heartbreak Kid' Michael Shane, and now it's about time you paid the price Hunter. It's about time we found out just who is the best, so why don't you and your new found friend there, **pointing at Shelton**, get ready, because me and my new friend are issuing a challenge to you right here, right now" **POP**

HHH: "You want a piece of me Naitch, you want a piece of Triple H, the Game, then you get your ass down here so we can finish this."

Flair: "Ok, then it will be, Triple H and Shelton Benjamin, taking on, 'The Nature Boy' Ric Flair, whooooo, and my tag team partner."

The music hit as the crowd popped and out walked to 'Sexy Boy' none other than the man who beat Flair last week, 'The Real Heartbreak Kid' Michael Shane. They slowly walked down to the ring as we headed to another break.

[AD BREAKS]

JR: "Welcome back folks, and before the break Ric Flair came out and challenged both Shelton Benjamin and Triple H to a tag team match, and we have already started so let's get in on the action!"

Tag Team Match:

Ric Flair & 'The Real Heartbreak Kid' Michael Shane vs Triple H & Shelton Benjamin

The match had already started by the time we returned to the ring from the breaks. Ric Flair and Shelton Benjamin were battling it out before the crowd were calling for Triple H to get involved and he did, as he got tagged in by Shelton. He smiled at the thought of getting it on with Ric Flair, only he bailed out as he tagged in Michael Shane and rolled under the ring outside.

Triple H pointed down at him which allowed Shane to attack from behind and he started a beat down on Triple H, before Flair asked to be tagged back in as Triple H was down. Flair went and hit a knee down on Triple H's face, before he stood up and did the Flair strut followed by his trademark whooo. Flair turned to be met by Triple H stood up and he connected with right hands to Flair who backed up until Flair luckily came back with a poke to the eyes and stunned Triple H before getting over for the tag.

Shane came in and went after Triple H but he ducked Shane and knocked him down before making his way for the tag to Shelton Benjamin who came in and Shane and Benjamin then went at it for a good few minutes back and forth.

The ending came when Shelton was on the top turnbuckle ready to fly off, only Flair pushed him off as he crashed to the outside. Flair then went after him as he picked up a chair and smashed it against Shelton Benjamin before Triple H came around and attacked.

Shane came around and suddenly a brawl broke out between every man as the ref counted on the inside, and reached the 10 as he called for the bell. Flair somehow got free and got into the ring as he got followed by Triple H as the two continued their fight inside, until Flair got pushed to the ropes and Triple H ran and clotheslined Flair over the top and outside the ring.

Shane ran around to help Flair as Shelton climbed into the ring. The match ended with Lillian annoucing it as a Double Countout, while Shelton and Triple H pointed at both Flair and Shane to come back to the ring.

Lumberjacks?

Backstage after the match, we found The Gathering talking in their locker room, with Orton sat down on the sofa smiling holding onto his World Heavyweight Championship belt. In front of them stands the Monster Kane, Hurricane and Rosey and Damien stood ready to speak to them.

Damien: "Now listen up, tonight, not only do we get to take out that piece of garbage Christian, not only for what he did to you two guys last week, which I still can't believe you let him beat you, but also Kane, for what he did to you when he put his hand on Maria. Tonight, we protect one man, and that is the World Heavyweight Champion, each of us will be down at ringside, tonight we will all be Lumberjacks, but we will all get a chance to put our hands on Christian. Champ, are you ready for tonight."

Randy Orton gets up and smiles at the rest of the group.

Orton: "With all of you behind me, I think tonight will be a moment to remember for Christian. But remember guys, we only need to soften him up, because next week, Stacy is back with a special surprise for Christian. And I think we will all want to see that!"

They all smile at what will happen to Christian next week.

JR: "We knew that Damien would have something up his sleeve when he announced this Main Event tonight. Tonight, the Gathering will be stood outside as Lumberjacks while Randy Orton will go one on one against Christian. But coming up right now, who will get a chance to face the Women's Champion Ameera at our next pay per view, Trish Stratus or Victoria!"

Number #1 Contenders Match:

Victoria vs Trish Stratus

This was a small match with Trish Stratus getting some good pops for her moves. The ending came as Victoria was on the turnbuckle, and Trish climbed up and both women crashed to the center of the ring hard as they attempted a super-plex. The ref saw the covers as both landed with one hand on the other and called it as he called for the bell and awarded a double pinfall to the disappointment of the fans.

After the match, we see a video of what took place last week. We see Eugene come out to the ring and stand inside ready for his match when a box is brought out to celebrate his birthday, when it wasn't, and ended up with Eugene being beaten down by Steven Richards who smashed out of the box to lay a beating down. After the video footage of last week, we then saw a promo advertising that Eugene would be back next week.

The Challenge!

As we came back from a break, we saw some video footage of what took place earlier in the day as The Problem Solvers ran into Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit leading to a match tonight.

The video started with pictures of Jericho and Benoit arriving for Raw tonight as they climbed out of a car and were heading into the arena, when Jericho stopped Benoit in his tracks, and pointed to a large black flashy sportscar which was parked near some doors. Jericho smiled as they both walked over and looked inside, before Jericho reached in and pulled out the World Tag Team Championship belts. He handed one to Benoit before he then wrapped one around his waist and fastened it while Benoit looked at the one handed to him smiling at seeing the belt.

Jericho: "What you think, you know Chris, I think Gold is my colour, what you say?"

Benoit: "Looks good on you, you know, it's been a long time since I held a title, wouldn't it be good to walk out tonight World Tag Team Champions."

As Jericho looked at his title, along with Benoit suddenly the camera swung around and we found the real World Tag Team Champions of The Problem Solvers, Batista and Tyson Tomko stood behind looking at Jericho and Benoit pretending to be the champs, looking unhappy at it.

As Benoit and Jericho continue playing with the belts, Tyson Tomko coughs slightly as they raise their heads and realise someone is stood behind them. Jericho and Benoit turn around slowly and see Batista and Tomko stood there looking down on them both.

Batista: "Have you guys got a problem?"

Jericho: "Listen, we were just looking at the belts."

Tomko: "So you do have a problem!"

Benoit: "What is this? **Tries impersonating both Batista and Tomko in his next words** You got a problem, I have a problem, I can't find my problem Dave, You've always had a problem Tyson. For god's sake lighten up guys!"

Tyson and Batista look at each other and laugh at first for a moment, before quickly changing to almost a growling expression looking down on Jericho and Benoit.

Batista: "I didn't think that was funny Chris. What do you think Tyson!"

Tomko: "I didn't find it funny at all Dave. Maybe they think they are tougher than us, maybe they think they should be holding those titles instead of us?"

Jericho: "**Does impersonation of Tomko** We're two tough guys Dave, hell, we're so tough, we even have to sleep in the same bed!"

Batista: "You definitely have a problem with us, so why don't we settle this."

Benoit: "Why not, shall we Chris?"

Suddenly Jericho and Benoit smash the belts into The Problem Solvers faces as they drop back slight in reaction to it, before all four just suddenly go for it attacking each other. After a moment officials come running through the doors and break it up. They pull the four men apart as Jericho and Benoit get dragged to the doors as all four men started shouting back at each other.

Jericho: "Tonight guys, we want you in that ring, title belts on the line. WE DEFINITELY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOU NOW!"

Batista: "ANYTIME, ANYPLACE JERICHO, BENOIT, IF YOU'VE GOT A PROBLEM!"

Tomko: "WE HAVE THE SOLUTION!"

Jericho and Benoit get dragged inside the arena doors and out of sight as Batista and Tomko look on snarling almost at what just took place.

No Escape?

JR: "Folks, coming up shortly we will see that match that was made earlier today, when The Problem Solvers will face Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit in a Non Title Tag Team match. But what about what is coming to you on Pay Per View on November 27th folks, Raw is proud to present to you, WWE No Escape. We have been informed of some matches that have already been made, earlier tonight we saw Trish Stratus and Victoria compete to a double pinfall in their Number #1 contenders match, well we have just been informed that at No Escape Ameera will be defending her Women's Championship against the woman who pinned her earlier Lita, also against both Trish Stratus and Victoria in a Four Way Match. Will this be Ameera's final curtain call on being the Women's Champion, we all hope so. But also at No Escape, Shelton Benjamin will meet 'The Real Heartbreak Kid' Michael Shane, and what about our Main Event. Folks, this will be one hell of a slobberknocker if there ever was one, Christian and 'The Master' Randy Orton will meet once again, but this time in the first ever 'Steel Cage of Hell'. That's right folks, a Steel Cage of Hell, because this match will take place not only inside a Steel Cage, but they will also be locked inside a Hell in a Cell. Folks, this is setting upto be a pay per view that you can't miss. Order it now or contact your local operator, Sunday 27th November, No Escape, and we will have more about upcoming matches next week!"

OR: 59.8%

JR: "We promised you the match folks and we are set for a slobberknocker. Can Jericho and Benoit do what no one else has been able to do in beating the current World Tag Team Champions The Problem Solvers!"

Non-Title Match:

The Problem Solvers © vs Chris Benoit/Chris Jericho

The Tag Team match was vicious as all four men got involved. Batista and Tomko dominated from the start using their upper body strength pushing Benoit and Jericho around until they were able to get together and use their own advantage to take down the tag team champions.

The ending came as Jericho was fighting with Batista on the outside, as Jericho got sent to the barrier near the fans, and Batista ran in for a spear only for Jericho to move and Batista crashed through the barrier to a big pop from the fans.

Inside the ring, Tomko was distracted by what he just saw and he eventually turned back as Benoit was able to lock in a Crippler Crossface on him as Tomko struggled to break free, and with Batista out of it still on the outside, Tomko had no other option but to tap out.

Jericho climbed in and celebrated with Benoit as they had their arms raised and surely got a title shot against the champions now.

McMahon Arrives?

After the match, we see the parking lot area as a large black limo pulls down the ramp and pulls up. The camera works it's way around it and then stops at the back of the car, before zooming in, down on the license plate which read "Mc-Mahon" as the crowd popped realising one of the McMahon family had arrived on Raw as had been rumoured.

JR: "Bah Gawd, one of the McMahon's are here, who is it, who is in that black Limo!"

The clip ended before we saw who it was as we headed to a break.

The End Of The Dynasty?

As we returned, we found Damien stood in the ring with Jenna, his girlfriend. They stood taking in the heat from the fans before Damien got ready to speak.

Damien: "At the top of the show, I promised you footage of my own father, Vincent Kennedy McMahon, and what Damien promises, comes true. So, let's get ready and look at this footage that I took just this past week at an 'undiclosed' location."

Damien and Jenna both point to the titantron ready to watch the video, but instead, were interupted as music hit the arena to a huge pop, the 'Wrestlemania' theme hit and out walked the CEO of the company Linda McMahon. She slowly walked down to the ring and climbed inside walking over to take hold of a mic from Lillian from the outside.

Damien: "Well, well, well, I heard the rumours but I didn't believe them. The rumour that a McMahon would be showing up on Raw, you know, I thought it may be Shane though, after all he seemed to be the only one with the balls in the family. Hell, I thought I might have struck it lucky and the Billion Dollar Princess may have showed up, now that would have been a party, I mean, I know you don't mind a little three way do you babe. **Jenna smiles and licks her lips at the thought of it**. Hey, with Stephanie, you definitely have a handful and I'm always happy to have a slice of American Pie!"

As he said that, Linda slapped him across the face. Damien rubbed his face before he snapped back and put his face directly in front of Linda's holding the mic.

Damien: "Don't you EVER do that again Linda!"

Damien then backs up, and changes from an angry impression to a smile.

Damien: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have reacted like that, it's just, well, you know what happened the last time this happened. Anyway, Linda, what can I do for you?"

Linda: "I want to know where my husband is. Where have you got him Damien?"

Damien: "So that's why you came here tonight? And here's me thinking it was for my obvious good looks. Linda, your husband is safe, well for the time being. I don't know if you heard but this past week I paid him a visit, it's so depressing seeing him like he is now though Linda, he's all frail and weak, he's nothing like the, what did he used to say, 'Jackhammer' he used to be to you? **Laughs** I tell you what, why don't you see for yourself. Let's all take a look at the footage of Vince when I visited him this past week. But before we do, a little warning people. Some footage you may see here will be unsuitable for younger children, I suggest you send the kids out of the room for a few moments while this is shown. It's not for the faint hearted, roll it!"

The titantron comes on as it shows Damien stood outside a huge white building as he spoke to the camera.

Damien: "Im here at, well, Im afraid I can't say where I am for safety reasons. But I am here to pay my respects to the man who helped conceive me, the man, who gave me life I guess you could say, the man who tried to kill me when he took me away from my own mother and locked us both away, making us suffer at our own hands. The man who at Helloween I beat to take over not only the company, but also Raw. My father, Vincent Kennedy McMahon. So, let's go inside and see what he has been upto since he got brought here."

Footage cuts off, then comes back on as we see inside a huge room loads of Pyshiatric patients wondering around in hospital gowns. Most wandered around drugged up like they didn't know where they were. A Few screamed and acted up as Damien and the cameraman passed them. We then saw in the distance, an old man sat down on a chair looking outside the window. He just sat there, slightly rocking back and forth, just staring outside the window as Damien moved over to see it was none other than Vince McMahon himself as the crowd gave a small pop. Damien slowly walked around as the camera focused on Vince who at first never noticed anyone there. Damien bent down and looked in Vince's eyes as he stood in the spot where Vince was looking directly at, and whispered to him.

Damien: "Father, father, Vince, it's me, your son. Can you hear me dad, it's Damien, I've come to pay you a visit."

Vince looks at him and at first it seems he's still looking directly through him, then he stopped rocking, and seemed to act like he saw him as he gently spoke.

Vince: "Son...... You come to see me..... Damien."

Damien smiled as he heard his name, but this quickly changed.

Vince: "Son.... **slight pause** YOU BASTARD!"

Vince suddenly struck out as he grabbed Damien by the throat and wouldn't let go as he began choking him and fell on top of him as Damien struggled to get Vince off him and stop him from killing him. Suddenly some orderlies came running and pulled Vince off dragging him away, as he screamed out Damien's name over and over.

Damien slowly got to his feet and held his neck trying to catch his breath back, coughing and spluttering as he looked on at his father being took away.

The scene cut off again, and came back as we saw Damien stood next to a door speaking to the camera once again.

Damien: "Unfortunately, after the incident that took place not long ago, and after communicating with the doctor, we felt it would be best if my father, Vince McMahon had to receive some kind of punishment. The doctor didn't think it was really needed, but I talked him around to it, I mean, what's best for father is best for us all right. So inside this room right now, Vince McMahon is, well why don't you take a look."

The camerman turns around to look through the glass in the door and we see Vince McMahon being strapped down by two orderlies onto a large bed type piece of equipment, before they stuck something in his mouth, and we saw a doctor come into view, holding two steel pieces of equipment attached to a machine at the top of the surface that Vince was laying on. The doctor rubbed them together, before he went to place them down on Vince, as Damien pulled the camera away and towards himself.

Suddenly, the sound of screaming is heard from inside the room, as Vince was receiving what could only be shock therapy. Damien listened intensly at the sound, the sound of screaming, the sound of the electricity running through the system, his eyes closed listening.

Damien: "Do you hear that, god I have missed that for so long, that sound, that screaming, that feeling of power, the electricity running through your body. That is the beautiful sound that I heard day after day while I was locked away. That wondeful sound is what I hear every night in my dreams, The feeling of power that it gave me, the rush that it sent through my body. **Screaming heard again** Oh yes Father, scream for me, FEEL MY PAIN."

The footage then cuts off as the video ends to the shock of fans in the audience who can't believe what they just witnessed that was taking place to Vince McMahon, former owner of WWE.

A video aired before the show started, showing what took place last week on Raw. It showed the assault on Christian that ended the show, and Orton's announcement that Stacy Keibler would be back this week on Raw with a huge announcement.

OR: 59.1%

JR: "Welcome to Monday Night Raw folks. We are just 6 days away from WWE No Escape Live on Pay Per View. Tonight, we will see Christian in action against the man who he has been able to beat almost on every occasion but not where it mattered most at our last Pay Per View 'Helloween' when Stacy Keibler slammed the steel door onto Christian's face costing him the match which allowed her husband 'The Master' Randy Orton to retain his World Heavyweight Championship. Tonight we understand it will be a Tag Team Match, Christian and Shelton Benjamin will be facing 'The Master' Randy Orton and 'The Real Heartbreak Kid' Michael Shane tonight Live on Raw. We also still don't know what Stacy Keibler's surprise will be for Christian for his attack on her at Helloween, Stacy and Randy Orton are scheduled to be here tonight but haven't arrived yet. Also tonight, we have got a Divas Tag Team Match scheduled, plus Chris Masters will defend his WWE World Television Championship when he competes against Steven Richards, and we all saw what Richards did just two weeks ago to Eugene, well we have confirmation that Eugene is here tonight. ."

Tonight?

The lights darkened down, and some eerie music kicked in as out walked the owner of Raw and the company, Damien. He came out in a long black robe as usual and slowly made his way down to the ring before climbing inside and taking hold of a mic as a chorus of 'asshole' echoed around the arena.

Damien: "Last week, we punished one man, one man who's mission it seems is to take something that does not belong to him. One man who at WWE Helloween last month laid his hands on property of the Gathering, and in particular property of the World Heavyweight Champion. Christian **POP**, tonight you will take part in our Main Event, you will be teaming with Shelton Benjamin **POP** and you will both take on 'The Real Heartbreak Kid' Michael Shane, and the World Heavyweight Champion 'The Master' Randy Orton. **Heat** Orton and his beautiful wife are not here yet, but they will be here in time to show you Christian your future. Randy Orton last week promised you that Stacy would be here tonight with a very special surprise for you, and she will be later tonight. Christian, you had better be prepared, because you may not even make it to 'No Escape'. As for others tonight, first, I want to address an issue with someone, and that someone is you Jim Ross!"

JR: "What, what do you want with me!"

Damien: "JR, Good 'Ol Jim Ross, the cowboy hick with a face like the backend of a cow. **HEAT** Listen up JR, you see I watched back last weeks show, I wanted to watch it after several superstars informed me of what you said after the beating we gave Christian. Last week you claimed this place is going to hell, ever since I took charge of Raw. You called me, what was it again, oh yes, 'The Evil Bastard' after the footage of my visit to see my father. Jim Ross, you think this place is going to hell, you think I am an Evil Bastard, well you haven't seen anything yet. You want Hell, I can bring you hell, you want me to be an Evil Bastard, I can be more evil than you could even imagine. I suggest you watch what you say JR, because just like everyone else backstage, you are expendible. You are a relic of an old generation Jim Ross, and I'll leave you with this thought, if I can destroy the one man, the one man who gave me life, just think of what I can do to you, or anyone else backstage who thinks they want to go up against The Gathering. All of you watch, watch what will happen tonight, and what will happen to Christian this sunday when he meets Randy Orton, then you will all realise the price people pay for standing in the way of the Genius that is Damien!" **Heat**

JR: **Unheard by Damien** "Well, the last time I looked this was a free country, and I can say what the hell I want Damien, and I still think your a no good piece of trash, you destroyed the one man who built this company up, you destroyed your own father and just like I said last week, I will say it again, You are an 'Evil Bastard' Damien, I hope to god you rot in hell!!"

Damien: "Tonight, thanks to yours truly, the real Leader and owner of Raw, I bring to you some huge matches. Up shortly we will see a Diva Tag Team Match, all four members who will be taking part in Sundays Pay Per View Womens Championship will be in action, as the Womens Champion Ameera will be teaming up with Trish Stratus to face Lita and Victoria and The World Television Champion Chris Masters will defend his title against Steven Richards. And don't forget, what beholds Christian tonight, for you cannot miss Stacy's Surprise."

Damien's music started as he dropped the mic and made his way out the ring and up the ramp. He stopped at the top and looked directly over at Jim Ross at the announcing table with hatred towards him, before the show went to it's first break.

[AD BREAKS]

JR: "Welcome back folks, and we are all set for our opening match which will feature the four divas who will take part at this Sundays Pay Per View 'No Escape'."

Divas Tag Team Match:

Trish Stratus & Ameera vs Lita & Victoria

The Divas match kicked the night's action off as Lita and Victoria came out together, while Trish and Ameera came out seperately, with lots of heat aimed at Ameera.

The match started with Victoria and Trish, Trish taking the match from the start with some nice moves before tagging in Ameera who beat down on the woman she beat to win the title. Ameera worked on Victoria sending her to the corner, only to run in and be met by a knee to the face. This allowed Victoria to reach over and make the tag to Lita who climbed in. Lita went on to attack Ameera and whipped her to the ropes as she came back to be met by a big clothesline.

Ameera slowly crawled over to make the tag to Trish as Lita stood by, and as Ameera reached up, Trish dropped down off the mat not wanting to make the tag. Trish casually walked off leaving Ameera looking on screaming at her to come back. Ameera got to her feet and shouted up at Trish who stood at the top of the ramp looking down on her partner, who turned around to be sent to the mat by Lita. Lita then climbed the turnbuckles and came off with a Litasault and landed on Ameera for the cover, and the three count once again picking up a pinfall over Ameera.

Ameera was laying in the ring, as Lita got to her feet celebrating, when Victoria came from behind and kicked Lita who went flying through the ropes to the outside. Victoria then grabbed the belt off the ref who brought it in to hand to Ameera. Victoria stood, and raised the belt in her hands before looking down on the Women's Champion, Ameera.

World Tag Team Title Shots?

Backstage we found Maria standing by with the World Tag Team Champions, Tyson Tomko and Batista. Maria got ready to ask the questions as they posed with the belts over their shoulders.

Maria: "Batista, Tyson, last week you were challenged to a match against Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit, both Canadians. You agreed to a match but not putting your belts on the line, and during that match Batista you crashed through the barrier, while Tyson here tapped out to the Crippler Crossface losing your first match since you won the belts, now guys, I have to ask, are you scared of these foreign superstars?"

Tyson and Batista look at each other confused, wondering what Maria is talking about in foreign.

Batista: "Foreign superstars, you do know where Canada is right, Maria?"

Maria: "Of course I do, it's part of the UK right?"

Tyson runs his hand over his face and over his beard while Batista looks to the sky's.

Batista: "Maria, Canada is next door to us."

Maria: "You mean next door to us, I thought that was Wallmart next door?" **Looking confused**

Batista: "Look Maria...."

Batista gets cut off by Tyson who shakes his head trying to tell him not to bother explaining to her.

Batista: "Yes Maria, next door to us is Canada's WallMart. **shakes head** Anyway, last week Benoit and Jericho challenged us to a Title match, well since we are the World Tag Team Champions, then you have to earn your shot at these belts Maria. Now last week, they got lucky, I suffered a damaged shoulder when I crashed through that barrier, and was unable to get back in the ring and help my tag team partner, Tyson Tomko. Well we won't make that mistake again, you see, Benoit, Jericho, last week you beat us alright, but you also showed us up and no one does that. We asked if you had a problem, and it seems you do with us being the World Tag Team Champions. Now if you have a problem, then there is only one thing we can say."

Tomko: "We have the Solution guys. You want some of us, well you got it. This sunday at 'No Escape', Batista and I are challenging you to a World Tag Team Title Match **POP**. If you have the balls guys, then meet us in that ring, but since me and Dave spoke, we don't think you have any balls, I mean, you are from Canada!"

Maria: "Next door right!"

Maria smiles confidently like she's happy she knows where Canada is now, as Batista and Tyson Tomko look at each other and the make their way off down the corridor, as Maria looks on.

Maria: "It's next door isn't it, guys..... guys?"

AD BREAKS

Interuption?

As we return, we see a video of what took place during the break, as we saw Damien inside his office with his girlfriend, Jenna. They were sat on the sofa about to embrace in a kiss when as their lips were about to meet, the door to the office opened and in walked unannounced 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan which stopped Damien. He walked over and stood over the sofa, looking down on Damien and Jenna unhappy with something.

Hassan: "Damien, I just heard, what is this about me having to defend my title in a Triple Threat Match this sunday?"

Damien: "First of all, when you enter my office, actually, before you enter my office, you knock on the door and await my approval, you do not just barge in and talk to me with that attitude Hassan. Second, it is true that you will be defending your belt in a Triple Threat Match this Sunday at 'No Escape'. You see, I am unhappy with what you have done for me lately, I gave you a chance, first I allowed you to beat down that leader of the Revolution Matt Hardy, you did that alright, but then, when I put you in a match with three other superstars to take care of my problem of Christian, then you blew it and allowed The Revolution to interfere and help Christian. And then, last week, once again you lost to The Revolution, you call yourself 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan, well this sunday, I am gonna put that to the test. You say your the next big thing on Raw, your the man this company should be pushing, but I have seen nothing but defeat so why should I help you."

Hassan: "**looks angrily** Because I am 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan, I am the 'Allah' Champion, I am the voice of every Arab-American that stands in this world, I speak on behalf of my people. I am the next generation in this company, the future of this business, but just like your father, you discriminate against me because I am not your typical American."

Damien: "How dare you Hassan even compare me to my father, I am and will never be anything like him. He was weak, he made mistakes all his life, and he hated everyone who was not American. I Hassan, I have supported you, I want to help you achieve your goal, but not until you can prove to me that you are capable of being 'Great'. That's why at 'No Escape', you will defend your 'Allah' Championship, against two men who you must resolve your differences with, when you take on not only Robert Conway, but also Matt Hardy of The Revolution."

Hassan's face lights up at hearing who is opponents will be this sunday.

Damien: "As for your interuption by barging in here, then just like everyone else you must pay a price. That's why coming up right now, we are gonna see you in action so you can find your friend Ansari, because your opponents, will be the World Tag Team Champions, The Problem Solvers!" **POP**

Hassan doesn't like what he is hearing and storms out in protest at having to take part in the match next, while Damien sits back down next to Jenna who smiles at him for his actions he just took against Hassan.

Non-Title Match:

The Problem Solvers © vs 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan & Ansari

First out came the 'Allah' Champion, 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan and his tag team partner, Ansari. They got big heat as they both stood at the top of the ramp and spat down on American soil before making their way down to the ring and climbing inside.

As they waited, the music changed and the crowd popped as out walked to their hard hitting music, The World Tag Team Champions The Problem Solvers. Stood at the top of the ramp holding their titles stood Batista and Tyson Tomko. They made their way down to the ring and Hassan and Ansari climbed out as the champs posed on the turnbuckles with the belts.

As they posed, this allowed the chance to attack from behind as Ansari and Hassan struck attacking the two men and sending them back into the ring before they each had them set, and both Hassan and Ansari tried to whip Tomko and Batista into each other in the center of the ring but it got reversed as Hassan went crashing into Ansari instead.

Batista grabbed Hassan and sent him packing over the top rope and out, while Ansari turned to be met by a huge boot by Tyson Tomko. Both men got pumped up and they got the crowd reacting as Tomko picked Ansari up and threw him to the Animal Batista who set him up and hit a powerful Batista bomb before the cover and the ref counted the three for a quick and impressive victory for the Tag Team Champs.

Batista and Tomko were handed their titles back and celebrated as they walked backwards up the ramp, when suddenly from the top and running down came the challengers for this sunday's pay per view, Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho. The two Canadians attacked the tag team champions from behind and sent them crashing to the hard steel at first. The two picked up their opponents and put some fists to them sending them back down to the ring and sent Tomko inside, as Benoit sent Batista crashing into the steps.

Benoit and Jericho then climbed inside the ring and attacked Tyson Tomko some more and worked on him trying to cause as much damage before their match as possible. They beat him up more as Jericho held him and Benoit laid some heavy punches to his body and slaps to the chest area before Batista somehow made it to his feet and inside the ring. Jericho threw Tomko down and away as Benoit and Jericho went to attack Batista but they got caught immediately with a double clothesline by the huge Animal.

Batista hulked up some more as he gave the thumbs up to thumbs down, and he picked Jericho up and set him up for the Batista Bomb. As Batista was lifting Jericho up, suddenly from behind came 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan with a steel chair who smashed it against Batista's back as he dropped Jericho down and fell to his knees. As Batista knelt there, Hassan brought the chair down and smashed it on his head sending him down to the mat.

Suddenly officials came running down to the carnage in the ring as they pulled Jericho, Hassan and Benoit away from the brutal assault they had just gave Batista and Tyson Tomko who were receiving medical attention.

WWE World Television Championship:

Steven Richards vs Chris 'The Masterpiece' Masters ©

Steven Richards came out first as he awaited his opponent in the ring, as the lights dimmed and Chris Masters, the World Television Champion made his trademark entrance at the top of the stage area posing for the fans as pyros exploded behind him. Masters then made his way down to the ring and climbed inside handing the title over to the ref as the match got underway.

Masters started off well and attempted on several occasions to get Richards in his Masterlock but failed each time, before the match went to the outside, and Masters made a mistake running at Richards who was stood against the ringpost, as he moved out the way and Masters hit the ring post hard with his shoulder. Richards then worked more on it, as he sent Masters crashing over and over into the ring post before sending him into the ring.

Richards followed with a cover, but Masters kicked out before Richards worked on his arm more. Richards dominated for almost the rest of the match working over Master's arms so he couldn't finish the match. The mistake came when Masters was able to reverse a DDT from Richards and hit a backdrop on him, before following with a whip to the turnbuckle before Richards stumbled out and got hit with a backdrop.

Richards struggled, as suddenly Masters came from behind, and he got prepared to finish him, as Richards made it to his feet, with Masters then attempting the finisher as he tried locking in the Masterlock. Richards was able to keep Masters from sealing the fingers together though, and he couldnt finish it off due to the pain he suffered in his shoulders from being worked on by Richards.

Richards broke free as Masters held his shoulder in agony, when suddenly Richards kicked Masters in the gut and hit a Stevie DDT. Richards crawled over for the pinfall and the ref got down when suddenly before he could make the three count, Eugene appeared and attacked Richards.

As the match got called for a dq to Chris Masters, Eugene continued his assault on Steven Richards and eventually clotheslining him over the top rope and out. Richards struggled to make it to the top of the ramp as Eugene picked up a mic.

Eugene: "Steven Richards, you've been bad, you've been very bad. Two weeks, **looks at his fingers and counts to make sure he's right** yes, two weeks ago you hurt me. **Heat** You hurt me bad Steven Richards, you attacked me from behind, your a nasty man and thats why we are gonna have a match at 'No Escape'." **POP**

Arrival?

After the incident in the ring, we went to the parking lot where a large black limo drove down the ramp into the parking area and pulled up. The driver stepped out and walked around the side to open the back door as out walked the World Heavyweight Champion 'The Master' Randy Orton, and put his hand inside the limo, as he came out with 'The Mistress of Dakness' Stacy Keibler. She smiled at her husband before they walked towards the arena doors and into the arena.

Old Friends, Bitter Enemies?

After the arrival of Orton and Stacy, we went back to ringside, when suddenly the music hit. 'Its time to play the Game' and out walked in business suit, and with his trademark water bottle, Triple H!! He stood at the top of the ramp milking up the mixed reaction he was getting before he took a drink of water, poured some over his head and continued his walk down the ramp before climbing up on the mat area outside and doing his other trademark pose outside spitting water into the air. He then climbed in the ring and up on the turnbuckles before he posed for the fans and finally took hold of a mic and got ready to speak.

HHH: "It seems, the time has come for the end of an era. For over 10 years I have stood in this ring, looking up at one man, one man who was the pinnacle of this business, one man who everyone aspired to become. This one man, this individual, was known throughout the world as the Greatest Wrestler Alive Today, he was an inspiration for everyone, and yet, I heard the rumours, I remember people telling me 'oh hes only in it for himself'. Well it seems them rumours are true, when I needed him, he shut the door in my face, he let me walk off when he should have stopped me, he let Vince McMahon stop him from helping me out when I really needed it, hell, I would have knocked Vince out and helped him if the roles were reversed. About four years ago I helped bring this man into this company, not just to be my friend, but so we could all admire what he has achieved in this industry. He is the Sixteen Times World Heavyweight Champion, he is known as 'The Man' but to me, he is nothing. You see, I am the Greatest Wrestler Alive today, I am 'The Man' around here, and that is why we need to sort this problem out. You either back me up or you stand in my way, and if you decide to stand in my way, then you have to be prepared to suffer the consequences. So, I want an answer right here in this ring, right now. So, Ric Flair, the self proclaimed 'wheelin dealing, kiss stealing, jet flying, limousine riding, whoooooo, son of a bitch! So get your ass out here right now and give me your decision."

Triple H stood in the ring for a moment as the fans awaited Flair's arrival, which didnt look like it was gonna happen. As Triple H brought the mic to his mouth to say something once again, is when the music hit and out walked in a smart business suit, the 'Nature Boy' Ric Flair. He slowly made his way down the ramp and climbed into the ring as the fans popped for seeing him there.

HHH: "Well Ric, whats your decision gonna be? Are you gonna apologise for what you did, or is this over, is Evolution finished with Ric, am I gonna have to prove to you once and for all that you are nothing without me?"

Flair: "Whoooo. Do you know who your talking to, BOY! I'm 'The Nature Boy' whooooo!!! When you address me, you address me as Sir or Mr Flair, whooooo. I sat back there and listened to what you said, well you want an answer, the 'Nature Boy' has got your answer. But let me tell you Hunter, I respected you man, I respected everything you had done for this company, I respected Evolution, and I respected the World Heavyweight Championship, but that was, until recently. Hunter, you think your the best, well you haven't proved it yet. I am the Sixteen Times World Heavyweight Champion, you hear that, SIXTEEN TIMES, what have you done Hunter, Ten times? Your not even in my league yet."

HHH: "Not even in your league, you listen hear old man, your past it, your time has come and gone, while my time is now. This is my time Ric, this is my league your playing in, you have seen first hand what happens to anyone who steps in my path, I've done it to Randy Orton, I did it to Batista, and I have no problem doing it to you!"

Flair: "Is that so? Well Randy Orton and Batista can't compare to 'The Nature Boy' **does his little strut dance**, your standing in the ring with a legend. Your standing in the ring with the Greatest Wrestler Alive TODAY!"

HHH: "Well how about we put that to the test, right here, right now Ric!" **POP**

Flair: "You want a piece of me, you want a piece of 'The Nature Boy' whooo."

Ric Flair rips his jacket off as Triple H does the same and they go nose to nose standing in front of each other.

Match Made?

As they stood in the ring, in a staredown in which no one moved an inch, some music hit and out walked to some heat the Owner of Raw, Damien as he stood at the top of the ramp holding a mic. The two seperated but kept an eye on their opponent as Damien got ready to speak.

Damien: "Look what we have here, The Past **pointing to Ric Flair**, The Present **pointing to Triple H** and, the Future of this business **raises his arms in the air indicating himself**. Now, as you know I now run this company, and I make any decisions on Raw, which is why we aren't gonna be seeing Ric Flair take on Triple H tonight. **HEAT** Oh no, something like that needs to be on a stage, a stage so big that someone has to pay a price. That is why, this sunday at 'No Escape' we are gonna have a match, a special match. You see, to be brutally honest, I can't stand you, in fact, I hate you both, so I dont care who loses this match and who wins, but I want to give the fans something to remember, something that every one will never forget. I warned you Hunter, when I came to this company, when The Gathering started that Evolution would be a forgotten team, that you would not last the distance, and you should have looked into my eyes and seen I was telling the truth, now everyone knows what I promise, I deliver. So at 'No Escape' I am gonna promise this, it will be a match featuring Triple H, taking on Ric Flair **POP**, it will be inside that ring, with the winner getting all the glory, and the loser, this is good guys, the loser, will be gone forever. You see, this match, will be a Contract on a Pole Match! **Triple H and Ric Flair look on at this announcement in shock almost** That's right guys, both your contracts, you Triple H and you Ric Flair, will be hanging from a Pole at each end of that ring. The first man who is able to grab their opponents contract, well all they have to do is rip that contract up and that loser will be gone from this company forever. I'll see you both this sunday guys, so you had better be prepared, because one of you, it will be your last night in this company!"

JR: "Bah Gawd Ric Flair will face Triple H this sunday, and one of them will be leaving the company for good!!"

Damien smiles as he looks down at the two of them before he makes his way backstage. It ends with Ric Flair and Triple H in a staredown once again as they stand in each corner of the ring, before Flair climbs out and walks up the ramp backwards not taking his eyes off Triple H in the ring who indicates his time is coming to a close at his former best friend.

Tag Team Match:

'The Master' Randy Orton & 'The Real Heartbreak Kid' Michael Shane vs Shelton Benjamin & Christian

As we came back from the break, we found 'The Real Heartbreak Kid' Michael Shane and 'The Master' Randy Orton stood in the ring with his wife, Stacy Keibler. They stood waiting, as the music hit and out walked one of the opponents to a nice pop, Shelton Benjamin. He made his way down to the ring and stood outside not wanting to climb in, before the music changed and the crowd popped big time as out walked the challenger for the World Heavyweight Championship this sunday, Christian. He stood at the top of the ramp posing for his peeps before he walked down and joined Shelton on the outside.

As they stood, they suddenly ran and slid in the ring and attacked Shane and Orton starting the match already as Shelton took Shane to the outside and followed him sending him crashing into the barriers. Inside Orton was taking a beating from Christian as Stacy was on the outside after making a quick exit. Christian sent Orton to the ropes but he grabbed hold of them and stopped himself from going back to be attacked by Christian, as he stood and pointed to his head indicating he used his brain this time, only to turn around and be met by a clothesline by Christian which sent Orton crashing to the outside.

Stacy ran around to check on her husband before Shelton picked Shane up and sent him back inside the ring for Christian. The ref eventually gained control of the match as Shelton stood in his corner, and Orton eventually got up into his corner after being sent crashing.

Christian worked on Shane some more before tagging in Shelton Benjamin as the two men meeting at 'No Escape' this sunday continued the match. Shelton worked Shane over, and he went to send him to the turnbuckle, only to be reversed but Shane didn't notice as Shelton jumped up onto the top turnbuckle and waited for Shane to turn back around and he did as Shelton flew off. Shelton went flying, only Shane ducked down to the mat at the last second and Shelton crashed down hard onto the mat. Shelton held his stomach in pain after the landing as Shane got to reach over and make the tag.

Orton came into the ring and smiled at Christian, trying to get him in the ring as Christian did try only to be held back by the ref. This allowed Randy Orton to get to Shelton though and try strangling him with the ropes until the ref came back and warned him as he broke it up. Orton went on to destroy Shelton Benjamin some more, as he teased Christian with every opportunity he got.

After a while, Christian was itching to get into the match, as he eventually got the tag as both Orton and Shelton were down, only Shane made it into the ring and distracted the ref who never saw it, and after a moment got Christian to almost get out the ring, as Shane worked on Shelton, but Christian pushed the ref out the way and went for Shane with some right hands stunning the opponent.

Christian sent Shane down to the mat, as the ref came from behind and tried to pull Christian off, only he didn't see it was the ref and he pushed him away crashing into the corner. The ref had enough, as he called for the bell and disqualifying Christian for attacking him. Christian turned around as he heard the result and he pleaded with the ref, only for Randy Orton to come from behind and he got down on one knee waiting.

As Orton prepared himself, Christian turned around and he got met with a R.K.O. by Randy Orton who stunned the challenger for this sundays Main Event. Orton stood above the challenger, smiling at what he just did, as Shelton got to his feet and he got met with a Superkick by 'The Real Heartbreak Kid' Michael Shane.

Shelton crashed down and rolled to the outside as Shane followed and continued his assault as officials came running down and tried seperating them.

She first walks over and raises Orton's hand in victory, to a chorus of boo's from the fans. Stacy then got ready to speak as Christian was laid out in the corner of the ring crouched up against the ropes.

Stacy: "Christian, last week my husband, the greatest World Heavyweight Champion in the history of this business **Heat**, he promised you that I had a surprise for you. Well right now is that moment Christian, ever since you attacked me, ever since you put me in that steel cage at the last pay per view, since you hit me with your Un-Prettier, I have been wondering how I can get even with you and this is how. I want to humiliate you, I want to make you suffer just how you made me suffer, so that is why I have come up with a fool proof plan. This Sunday, at 'No Escape', you will be involved in a match against my husband, Randy Orton for the World Heavyweight Championship, but I want to show you up on the biggest stage of them all, and what's worse than losing, **long pause** to a woman. So this sunday, it will be Christian taking on my husband, Randy Orton and me, Stacy Keibler in a Handicap Match!"

As Stacy said this, Randy Orton turns in shock at hearing what his wife just said. He screams at her, shouting at her screaming about what she was doing. Stacy tried claiming she knew what she was doing as Orton couldn't believe it as he ran his hands through his hair looking uncomfortable at having his wife now involved in the match which will take place inside a Steel Cage and inside a Hell in a Cell.

As Orton tried getting around the announcement, Stacy tried calming him down saying she knows what shes doing, behind them crouched down in the corner of the turnbuckles, Christian went from suffering at the hands of Orton, to a wry smile after knowing this may work in his favour.

Steven Richards vs Eugene

It started with a brutal attack on Eugene as Steven Richards smashed out of a supposed present for the popular superstar, leading to Eugene taking time off. He made his return just last week though on Raw when he interfered in the Steven Richards vs Chris Masters match for the WWE World Television Championship, leading to a DQ. After the revenge attack on Richards who made his quick exit, Eugene made the challenge to Steven Richards at 'No Escape'.

'Allah' Championship #1 Contender:

Shelton Benjamin vs 'The Real Heartbreak Kid' Michael Shane

Since making his debut on Raw, Michael Shane has made a huge impact, none more so than when he defeated Ric Flair on several occasions after renaming himself 'The Real Heartbreak Kid' as he replaced his cousin Shawn Michaels who suffered an injury and would be out for months. Shane still contains the cockiness that Michaels has, while believing he has what it takes to be the top superstar in the business. Facing Shane will be one of the most gifted athletic superstars in wwe history, Shelton Benjamin. Since he lost his 'Intercontinental' Championship to Christian back in April, nothing has gone right for Shelton. The biggest impact he made lately was when Triple H kidnapped him and 'allegedly' murdered Shelton Live on Raw which caused a huge uproar throughout the country, before Shelton made his return and once again showed Triple H that he is that archilles heel that he can't shake off by continuing his unbeaten record against the former ten times World Champion. At 'No Escape', these two young superstars will battle it out to earn the right and face the 'Allah' Champion down the line, but who will clinch it?

WWE World Tag Team Championship:

The Problem Solvers © vs Chris Benoit / Chris Jericho

It seems The Problem Solvers have come across a Problem, and when they do that, they know they have a Solution!! Just several weeks ago, The Problem Solvers lost their first match since winning the World Tag Team titles after being challenged by Canadians, Chris Jericho and Chris Benoit. Benoit made Tyson Tomko tap out inside the squared circle, while Jericho helped dismantle the Animal Batista on the outside. Now having earned the right to a title shot, can the Canadians do it all over again and defeat the often brutal and huge tag team that consists of Batista and Tyson Tomko? Will the problem be solved tonight?

WWE 'Allah' Championship:

Triple Threat:

Matt Hardy vs 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan © vs Robert Conway

Wherever he goes, people hate him, and yet the man who renamed the title that was once known as the 'Intercontinental' Championship continues to defy the odds by holding onto his title. After beating Matt Hardy for the belt back at the end of August, for three months he has been able to defend it successfully, albeit with help at times, against several opponents, but none has caused more problems for him than Matt Hardy. Their feud goes back to when Hassan beat him for the title, and lead to Matt Hardy having to call upon reinforcements in the eyes of Robert Conway and Lita to form what became known as 'The Revolution'. A group looking to finally rid Raw of the Arab-Americans that do nothing but cause hatred towards them at each event they appear. Hassan with help from his new found friends, the Women's Champion Ameera (formerly known as Molly Holly) who replaced Hassan's long time friend and former Manager Daivari who shocked everyone and especially Hassan when he joined Matt Hardy in his fight, and Ansari (formerly known as Maven). This trio are trying to show injustice not only in America but within the WWE. 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan as he has become to call himself still has the record on Raw of never being pinned, yet at Pay Per View's his record doesnt hold well. Is this the time 'The Revolution' can strike at the heart of the Arab-Americans, can Robert Conway and Matt Hardy team together to defeat Hassan or will it be each man for himself inside the ring? Is this the end of 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan, or will he have some plan so he can continue to be heard on WWE?

WWE Womens Championship:

Fatal 4 Way:

Trish Stratus vs Victoria vs Ameera © vs Lita

Ameera captured the Women's Championship on the same night her colleague, 'The Great' Muhammad Hassan won the Intercontinental Championship. Although not many have challenged Ameera for the belt, tonight may be the end of her reign as Champion. Victoria will be looking to avenge her loss at losing the belt to Ameera back in August, while Trish Stratus will be looking to continue her record breaking Womens Championship title wins, while the return of Lita as part of 'The Revolution' may be the final key to the puzzle in her return to action after picking up two consecutive wins against Ameera. All four women will be inside the ring at the same time, but can Ameera hold out for long enough?

Contract on a Pole Match:

Loser Loses Their Job:

Triple H vs Ric Flair

Just over four years ago, a Legend arrived back in the WWE thanks to one man, Triple H. Now, four years on almost and a long standing relationship as best friends has come down to a cruel judgement made by the new owner of Raw and the WWE Damien. Triple H, who no matter what he tried could not beat Shelton Benjamin finally cracked and attacked the superstar and almost killed him leading to many superstars, including Ric Flair, not sure if he did make the ultimate sacrifice. When Triple H came back after the kidnapping of Shelton, and while being arrested by Police, Ric Flair stood motionless after being forced to just watch by then owner Vince McMahon. Triple H has never forgave Flair for refusing to help his best friend, indicating that he would have helped him if the roles were reversed. Now it has come down to one match, a match in which one superstar, one former best friend will finally draw a line on his position within the WWE. The first man to climb the turnbuckle, reach up and grab the opposing superstars contract and rip up will remain employed by the company, while the loser will be no longer welcome within the company. This is two former best friends, a Legend against a Great Superstar of today, this is, 'THE GAME' VS 'THE NATURE BOY'!!

WWE World Heavyweight Championship:

Steel Cage of Hell Handicap Match:

Christian vs 'The Master' Randy Orton © & Stacy Keibler

Many thought he may never return since he lost at Wrestlemania 21 and his legacy as 'The Legend Killer' died. But, he did return and made the biggest impact any superstar has made on Raw in years when he defeated the then World Heavyweight Champion Batista for the belt on July 11th 2005 in Montreal as another 'infamous' screwjob occured. Orton with help from now owner of the company, and Vince's unknown son Damien manipulated and played Mind Games with the champion until that night a new Champion was crowned.

Meanwhile, Christian became the Intercontinental Champion by beating Shelton Benjamin in April of this year, before losing to the returning Matt Hardy. Christian then took the opportunity he needed when he competed in a match against two fellow Canadians, Chris Benoit and Edge in a battle for the 'Money In The Bank' Contract which he eventually won by beating his former Tag Team Partner. While Christian has been able to pin the World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton on several occassions, each has been on a Non-Title Match.

Their last meeting became one the fans will never forget, when Orton and Christian met inside a steel cage for a brutal title match with Orton just scraping out a victory thanks to his wife Stacy Kebiler coming to his rescue. Stacy suffered the consequences of her actions as she got attacked after the match was over by Christian and was missing from Raw for several weeks until her return just this past week when she claimed she had a special surprise for Christian. What was supposed to be a surprise for Christian though, turned into a nightmare for the World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton as he heard his wife state that she would be taking part in the title match at 'No Escape' and looking forward to humiliating Christian by making him lose to a women inside the ring.

Now, two men will battle it out for the most coverted prize in Wrestling, while one Diva will be standing at her husbands side hoping to gain her revenge for the attack on her. All this will be taking place inside one of the most brutal, and unusual matches ever to take place in WWE History, as they compete inside a Steel Cage, which is also inside a Hell In A Cell. Will Randy Orton be able to defend both the title and his wife's honour, or can Christian use this to his advantage.

Whatever happens, however brutal this may become, one thing is for certain...... there will be.....

NO ESCAPE!!!!!
