A Raw Invasion?

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Raw Is War

Monday 8th March 2004

JR: Welcome to Monday Night Raw folks. I’m Jim Ross alongside Jerry the king Lawler, and what a night we have set for you. In our main event, Chris Benoit takes on the intercontinental champion Randy Orton!

King: That’s right JR, but what about Flair and Evolution? Mania is right round the corner and the nature boy is looking weaker than ever!

JR: I really do have to agree with that right there. What does Evolution have in store for tonight? or even better, what does the nature boy have in store for them?

Rhyno Vs Hurricane

The match didn’t really have anything to be honest. Without a doubt these two have talent but a cruiserweight and a heavyweight just don't work together. Hurricane tried to get involved but Rhyno just come back and dominated the whole way through. After hitting a pump handle slam, Rhyno set Hurricane up and scored with the gore in the centre of the ring, obviously from that Rhyno got the win. The celebration was pretty quick as well and Rhyno didn’t seem very happy.

Winner in 03:26 via a gore - Rhyno

- The cameras cut to the backstage area where Triple H is seen walking through the corridor. Turning the corner he bumps into Terri who tries to get some words out of the game -

Terri: Triple H, after last week’s brutal attack on Ric Flair, what are your plans for not only tonight but Wrestlemania XX?

Triple H: My plans? All you need to know is that the legend of the nature boy is going to die this Sunday at Wrestlemania...and if the nature boy decides to show up tonight, I’ll damn well make sure he doesn’t do the same at Mania!

- Triple H stares a whole through Terri, then walks off down the corridor -

King: See JR. You talk about Flair being the greatest icon in WWE history, well your wrong. Just look at the game JR, he is on top form!

JR: No denying that King and it’s certain that this Sunday Ric Flair is going to have to cause what will be seen as an upset to win the title. I’m not sure if he can do it, but I’m damn well certain he wont go down without a fight!

*Commercials*

Victoria Vs Molly Holly - Special referee, Lita

Victoria produced some of her best stuff in this match, from moonsaults to flying clotheslines. With Victoria in control, Lita tripped her to turn the match in the favour of Molly. The match was dominated for some time by Molly, up until Victoria managed to nail the widows peak after a great comeback. This would do nothing to help though as Lita pretended to have something in her eye. With that, Victoria attacked Lita and the two rolled to the outside. The bell was rung after Lita screamed for the disqualification. Victoria really didn’t care though as she set Lita up for a powerbomb onto the bottom of the rampway. Lita managed to flip backwards and run for cover up the rampway as Victoria screamed at her about this Sunday.

Winner in 08:13 via DQ - Molly Holly

*Promo start*

- The shot focuses on an empty arena with a man sitting in the corner of the ring. With the shot focusing even more, its clear that the person is Chris Benoit. The shot stops there though and starts to show clips from previous match’s and scenes -

Two men that have given there all to wrestling

Two men that have been side by side through there journey to the top

Two men that set out to be the best over ten years ago, and now they both have the chance...

Yet only one of these men can walk away with that crown

Only one man can be one step ahead of the other, and on one night, we will find out which one

One match, one night...one Wrestlemania

These two will do anything to be proven as the best...including battling it out for thirty minutes

This isn’t about titles, this is personal

Jericho: I’m the king of the world babyyyyyyy!

Benoit: I’m the best damn technical wrestler in the world today!

Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit...this Sunday at Wrestlemania XX...

Vince: Where it all begins...again!

*Promo end*

Shannon Moore Vs Rob Conway

This was really just to past time to be honest, yet it actually turned out better than everyone in the arena expected. In a way, Shannon carried Rob, believe it or not. There wasn’t really any of the heel leading for twenty minutes then the face making a comeback at the end, it was just back and forth throughout the whole match. The main high spot of the match would have to be Shannon with the springboard from the ropes to score a dropkick to the head of Conway. Without a doubt, Moore deserved the win, especially with him being added into a main match for this Sunday and well Conway was involved in nothing, so it made no sense having him win. The obvious thing to do was have Shannon go over Conway. That didn’t happen though as Conway managed to cover Moore after a weird looking brainbuster.

Winner in 06:50 via a brainbuster - Rob Conway

JR: Conway managing to get the win over Shannon Moore then in a pretty impressive match from both competitors.

- On the titantron, Kane is seen walking down the hallway seeming to be heading for the ring -

King: Oh no JR!

JR: Kane take's on Shelton Benjamin and Lance Storm next!

*Commercials*

Kane Vs Shelton Benjamin and Lance Storm

Whoever isn’t a Lance Storm fan is crazy as he works pure gold in the ring. Kane dominated the start of things by pure power. After Storm and Shelton started to work away on the leg of Kane though, things totally changed. Storm and Shelton played it pretty simple through the whole match, with all sorts of hold’s applied to the leg of Kane. After Shelton and Storm dominated for a bit, Kane got back into the mood of things and literally beheaded Shelton with a clothesline. Storm ran right into a big boot, followed by a chokeslam. Shelton had made his way back up as well and Kane hinted at a chokeslam but changed his mind...yeah...Shelton got planted with the tombstone. The monster was on fire that was sure and Shelton was never getting the shoulder up as Kane got the three count. Straight after the match, Edge and Christian slid into the ring with steel chairs in both hands. They looked to be setting Storm and Benjamin up for the usual con-chur-to but Kane thought they had come for him. Christian got the steel chair into the face after a big boot, and Edge got loved right a chokeslam to the canvas, leaving all four men down and out. Kane made his way up the ramp with a smile on his face, but the smile was soon swept away as Cactus Jack dived from out of nowhere and started to pound on Kane. Cactus Jack was like a crazed man as he slammed the head of Kane into the steel. With Kane up, Cactus didn’t bother to hesitate as he through Kane from the top of the ramp all the way down from the side , forcing Kane to crash a good twelve feet through tables galore. Kane actually started to move, which got Cactus even more angry and forced him to come running and diving from the stage, down onto Kane who was wrapped in the wreckage below. The crowd marked out for Cactus Jack as EMT’s rushed to check on the two.

Winner in 13:45 via a tombstone - Kane

JR: My god what carnage right there. Cactus Jack, formally known as Mick Foley, just flying through the air right there and landing on that wreckage below. I can’t think to imagine what this Sunday is going to turn out to be like!

King: That’s if they make it there JR!

- The camera cuts to the backstage area and after looking around it finally stops and keeps its focus on Raw general manager, Eric Bischoff. The crowd do nothing but boo at the sight of the guy. Into the angle comes William Regal, which turns out to be a little surprise for the crowd as they haven’t seen the guy in sometime -

Eric: So you understand Regal?

Regal: Err yes I think so Eric. May I ask, why on gods name do you want to see Chris Jericho, Chris Benoit and Lance Storm?

Eric: I need to discuss something with the three. Now Regal enough of the questions, you do this for me and I’ll make sure you get your spot on tele.

Regal: Very well Eric.

Eric: Regal, I want to see all three first thing after the show, I don't have time to waste anymore.

- The camera slowly fades out and over to the announcers table where Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler look a little puzzle at things -

King: What does Eric want with them three JR?

JR: I have no clue what so ever, but it doesn’t sound right that's for sure. Wrestlemania XX just six days away now.

JR: This Wrestlemania promises to be one of the best, if not THE best, in the history of the WWE...but now folks, its time for our main event...Randy Orton and Chris Benoit coming up next, we’ll be right back!

*Commercials*

Randy Orton Vs Chris Benoit

As expected, neither of these men got a poor reaction from this crowd. As a matter of a fact, both these men got possibly the most cheers/boos of the night. Orton took control early on with basic moves. Benoit tried fighting back early on but was stopped by a swinging neck breaker from Orton which almost got the three count. Orton mocked Benoit by hitting two German superplex‘s‘, but he couldn’t manage to find a third as Benoit reversed the move and scored two of his own. Benoit couldn’t manage the third either was Orton scored with a rollup, only to get a two count.

Orton working away on Benoit in the corner sometime, then following up with a sleeper hold in the centre of the ring. The crowd really getting behind Benoit, who manages to fight out of the hold and run against the ropes...only to come back off and fall right back into a sleeper hold. Benoit reversed to be held though as he fell down and hit Orton with a jaw breaker, forcing him to release the hold, leaving both men down and out. When they both got back to there feet, Benoit managed to take control off the match, scoring consecutive blows to the face of Orton, followed by a hard clothesline. Orton back up and he walked right into the German superplex. Far from stopping there though and Benoit went on to hit another three of them, leaving Orton in the centre of the ring. Benoit calling for the death of this match as he climbs the top rope...Orton down...Diving headbutt coming...but out of nowhere comes Triple H. Instead of touching Benoit though, he just slowly walks down the ramp, distracting him as much as possible. Benoit turns back to Orton who by now is up...Orton grabs Benoit on top...TOP ROPE RKO!...Not ever Goldberg could get a shoulder up from that one and Orton made the cover, giving him the victory.

Winner in 17:22 via Super RKO - Randy Orton

JR: Chris Benoit being robbed off this match right here after Triple H did his best to distract Benoit. The game has entered the ring and is clapping Orton on. Who the heck does this guy think he is?

King: He’s the game JR! The man that is going to end the legend in Ric Flair this Sunday!

JR: I think Flair will have something to say about that one!

King: Where is he then JR? He isn’t even here to touch Triple H, face it, Flair is done for!

- In the ring, Triple H and Orton begin to stomp away on Benoit up until Jericho starts running down the rampway. He slides into the ring and gets in the face of the game, seeming to tell him that Benoit is his. The game moves out of the way as Jericho goes to work on Benoit. Out of nowhere comes Matt Hardy, sending Orton over the top rope from behind. Triple H looking to clothesline Hardy, who manages to duck it and score with a reverse DDT. Jericho turning around and running right into a flying forearm. From the back comes Batista and Shawn Michaels to the aid of Orton and Triple H. The two attack Hardy and send him to the outside. Orton, Michaels and Batista begin to pummel away on Hardy, with the four getting further and further up the ramp. On the outside Benoit has made it up and him and Jericho are going at it, up until Benoit whips Jericho into the steel steps. On the inside of the ring, Triple H makes it back to his feet and begins to scream towards the top of the ramp, telling the rest of Evolution to destroy Hardy -

King: I told you JR...Never mess with Evolution!

JR: MY GOD...THE NATURE BOY...FLAIR...RIC FLAIR IS HERE!

King: WHAT!

- The crowd go berserk as from out of the crowd comes the nature boy. He slides into the ring as Triple H turns around with into a clothesline. Flair drags Triple H up and begins to pummel on him in the corner, with Evolution still not noticing this. The Game somehow fights back and knocks Flair down, who starts to plead when...LOW BLOW! -

King: What? He cant do that to the game!

JR: The dirtiest player in the game just took control, my god Flair is on fire right here!

- The nature boy locks in the figure four leg lock in the centre of the ring as The Game begins to scream for his life. Michaels and Batista finally notice what is happening and begin to charge down the rampway. By now though, Triple H has began to tap over and over while still screaming at the top of his lungs. Michaels and Batista hit the ring but are to late as the nature boy quickly slides out and jumps into the crowd, making his get away -

JR: My god King, Triple H tapped. The world champion tapped out to the figure four leg lock. If we see this at Wrestlemania Twenty, then we are going to see a new champion crowned! My god that's all we have time for folks...what a night...I'll see you this Sunday AT WRESTLEMANIA TWENTY!

Right Mania has been really hard to write up. So is what I'm going to do is finish like one more match off and post the first half tonight. Then work on the second half over the next two or three days and post that then. Then I'll just post up like quick results and stuff after that. Hopefully all works out.

FIRST PART OF WRESTLEMANIA!

Wrestlemania XX

Madison Square Garden

Sunday March 21st 2004

*The screen fades into a shot of a wrestling ring sitting in an empty gym, empty for all but the man who is stood up against the ropes. Voices begin to overlap the shot as it slowly begins to zoom in, closer and closer*

Matt Hardy: I’ve waited for a night like this all my life.

John Cena: Nothings holding the doctor of thuganomics down on a night like this.

Mick Foley: It’s nights like these that give me the chance to shine.

Booker T: This is everything for me...I came from the gutter...and I’m still here.

Victoria: Us women were always classed as nothing, well this is a night we get the chance to prove them people wrong.

Kurt Angle: I’ve worked my whole life for this, I cant throw it all away now.

Chris Benoit: I’ve worked all over the world, and still this night stands as the biggest event of them all.

Eddie Gurrero: Getting over the drugs, I did it all for a night like this. I’ll lie, cheat and steal if that’s what it takes on a night like this.

Triple H: I tore my quadriceps and still damn well came back to this business, just for this night.

*The shot has finally reached the man in the ring. It is still focused on his back, but finally as the voices stop, the man turns around revealing himself to be Ric Flair. Unusually, he looks into the camera more serious than ever*

Ric Flair: Wrestlemania. It’s the night that gives you the chance to take back what you rightfully own.

*The shot fades to black, then fades back into Vince McMahon standing in the shadows*

Vince: Wrestlemania Twenty...Where it all begins...AGAIN!

*The shot fades out and right into Madison Square Garden where the arena is in pure silence. The attention is set on Lillian Garcia who is stood in the centre of the ring. She is not alone though as beside her stands Vince McMahon*

Lillian: Oh, say can you see, by the dawns early light!

Vince: You know what? This is a night where it all begins...again. Madison Square Gardena is sold out here, and across the world millions of viewers are watching this shows. I promise to not disappoint. So without further due, lets get this show on the road and welcome you ALL TO THE BIGGEST EVENT IN THE HISTORY OF SPORTS ENTERTAINMENT...WRESTLEMANIA TWENTYYYY!

*The attention is now turned to the stage area where a spotlight hits the shadows to reveal all members of Linkin park. They slowly cue in, and then the crowd erupts as they begin to play the Wrestlemania Twenty theme song, One Step Closer*

I cannot take this anymore

I'm saying everything I've said before

All these words they make no sense

I find bliss in ignorance

Less I hear the less you'll say

But you'll find that out anyway

Just like before...

Everything you say to me

Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

I need a little room to breathe

Cause I'm one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

I find the answers aren't so clear

Wish I could find a way to disappear

All these thoughts they make no sense

I find bliss in ignorance

Nothing seems to go away

Over and over again

Just like before...

Everything you say to me

Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

I need a little room to breathe

Cause I'm one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

Shut up when I'm talking to you

Shut up, shut up, shut up (2x)

I’m about to break!

Everything you say to me

Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

I need a little room to breathe

Cause I'm one step closer to the edge

And I’m about to....BREAKKKK!

*The crowd erupts as the song ends and fireworks and pyros begin to explode across the arena. Lights begin to flash all over the place as the cameras swing around all different parts of the arena, viewing all the fans. Finally we come down to the ringside area with the Smackdown announcing team, Michael Cole and Tazz*

Michael Cole: We welcome you to Wrestlemania Twenty, sold out in Madison square garden. I’m Michael Cole alongside Tazz, and what a night we have booked for you.

Tazz: This is it Cole, the biggest night off them all, the night where it all begins again. These fans are buzzing, this night is without a doubt a night that will go down in the history books.

*One off a king blasts through the arena and the crowd erupt as not only RVD, but Booker T too, walk out from the curtains and onto the stage. The two slowly make there way down to the ring, being applauded by the huge amount of fans around the arena*

Michael Cole: What a way to kick off the show, with Booker T and RVD challenging for the WWE Tag Team titles.

*With Booker T and RVD in the ring, the lights slowly dim and an explosion hits the top of the ramp as the Dudley's walk onto the stage, to a rather good ovation, yet the team seems to also be receiving some amount of boos*

Michael Cole: The Dudley boys to defend there tag team titles here in what should be a brilliant opening match for this night.

Tazz: Without a doubt Cole, all four of these men know how to get the crowd going.

Dudley Boys© Vs RVD and Booker T - WWE Tag Team Title’s

D-von and RVD start the match off. RVD scoring a few kicks to start things off, but D-von just shakes them off. Both men back into the centre of the ring and locking grips, and D-von shows he is the more powerful man as he forces RVD down to the canvas. D-von smirking away, but that smirk is wiped right off his face as RVD flies to his feet and knocks D-von down with a spinning wheel kick. RVD straight into more offence as D-von is forced into the corner. RVD scoring a few kicks to the ribs, followed by a spinning kick to the jaw of D-von. The Dudley boy staggering out of the corner and right into a leg rolling pin attempt from RVD, but D-von gets the shoulder up at one. D-von back up, and scoring with a thumb to the eye on RVD. Tag to Buh Buh who comes in and scores a few left and right handers on RVD. RVD sent against the ropes and as he comes off, Booker slaps him on the back to make the tag. Buh Buh knocks RVD down with a clothesline, but Booker comes in and literally beheads Buh Buh with the sidekick to the head. Booker bringing Buh Buh back to his feet and scoring with a few chops, forcing him into the corner. Booker looking to whip Buh Buh into the opposite corner now, but Buh Buh manages to reverse the move, sending Booker into the turnbuckle. Buh Buh charging at Booker, but nobody is home as Booker gets the elbow in the way, sending it crashing into the jaw of Buh Buh. Booker running back into the centre of the ring but only to get knocked down to the canvas with a clothesline from Buh Buh.

Michael Cole: Back and forth action so far in this match.

Tazz: Like I said Cole, all four of these men know how to open the show, they know how to put a good match on. That’s exactly what they are both doing, neither one of these teams want to lose on a night like this, which means they have to be on top of there game.

Buh Buh working away on the shoulder of Booker T with hard elbow shots to it. Booker sent into the ropes and Buh Buh lifts him up and slams him down with a hard powerslam. The tag to D-von, who comes in and scores with a hard elbow drop right away. The Dudley boys in total control now as D-von slams Booker T down to the canvas with a superplex. D-von wasting no time what so ever has he applies a headlock on Booker T, who is spread across the canvas in the centre of the ring. Booker T doing his best to break the hold somehow as the crowd begin to chant his name. Booker T with a huge adrenaline rush now as he pulls himself up to his feet, D-von forced into the ropes, ducks the clothesline, off the opposite ropes...FLYING BACK ELBOW SMASH!...Booker T knocked straight down to the canvas after D-von’ hit that hard elbow into his face. A cover...One...Two...Kick out by Booker T just before the three count. D-von dragging Booker T back to his feet and whipping him into the corner. The tag to Buh Buh now and D-von twirls the arm of Booker T round...Buh Buh coming into the ring and scoring with a jumping axe handle to the shoulder of Booker T.

Michael Cole: Great offence from the Dudley Boys here, and Booker T and RVD are yet to get involved in this match properly.

Buh Buh choking Booker T on the middle rope with his leg as the referee begins a count...One...Two...Three...Four...Buh Buh stops the hold as he distracts the referee, meanwhile D-von gives Booker T a cheap shot to the jaw, sending him down to the canvas. The cover from Buh Buh...One...Two...Shoulder up at two. Buh Buh quickly locking Booker T in another sleeper hold in the centre off the ring and things really aren’t looking good for Booker T as he slowly seems to be fading. Booker T losing every ounce off strength he has in his body leaving him no chance to even try to fight to get to the ropes. The referee picking up the arm and it drops down to the canvas...One...The arm brought back up again and dropped...Two...The crowd’s chanting seems to be making no difference here as the arm is lifted up for the third and final time, then dropped...NO...Booker T somehow comes right back to life and keeps it from dropping to the canvas as the crowd erupt. RVD hyping the crowd up by banging his feet on the edge of the ring. Booker T fighting back to his feet, elbow shots into the gut of Buh Buh. Booker T pushed into the ropes and off he comes...AND HE SCORES WITH THE JUMPING KICK TO THE JAW OF BUH BUH!...Booker T pulling up the jumping back heel kick and now both men are down on the canvas in the centre of the ring and have found themselves pulling towards each others corner. Buh Buh makes the tag first and D-von is in...but Booker T has made the tag as well. D-von into the ring...SPINNING WHEEL KICK!...Buh Buh back up...ANOTHER SPINNING WHEEL KICK!...D-von on his feet and whipped into the ropes...VAN TERMINATOR!

Tazz: Look at this guy go Cole, RVD is on pure fire!

D-von is out on the canvas and Buh Buh is not even in sight. RVD off the ropes...A devastating rolling thunder to D-von. RVD with the cover...One...Two...Thr...NO...Buh Buh just breaks up the pin fall before the three count. Booker T out of nowhere with hard left and rights to Buh Buh, sending both men to the outside. The referee trying to concentrate on the outside as RVD brings D-von back up, but D-von scores with the low blow on the way up. RVD crumbling to his feet now. On the outside Booker T sends Buh Buh crashing into the steel steps and slowly starts to make his way up to the ring apron to get back in the ring. On the inside D-von has RVD set up for the reverse DDT...RVD spins out of it and is looking for the spinning wheel kick again...BUT D-VON DUCKS AND HE HITS BOOKER T!...Booker T sent flying from the apron and down to the outside. RVD is looking to the outside to check on Booker T. Obviously Booker seems hurt and RVD turns round and right into the 3-D...Buh Buh makes the cover...One...Two...Three!

Winner’s in 11:21 with the 3-D and still WWE Tag Team Champion’s - The Dudley Boys

Michael Cole: The Dudley boys steal the victory here after the accidental kick that caused an error in the team of Booker T and RVD.

Tazz: The Dudley's walk away with the gold Cole, that's all they care about.

By now the Dudley boys have made there way to the outside with the gold and are slowly walking up the rampway. Back in the ring, an angry looking Booker T confronts RVD. The two exchanges words with RVD explaining it was all an accident. The two seem to have sorted things out as RVD extends his hand, which Booker shakes...BUT ONLY TO PULL RVD IN AND HIT HIM WITH THE BOOK END IN THE CENTRE OF THE RING!

Michael Cole: What the heck?

Tazz: Whoa!

RVD lies motionless on the canvas as Booker T exits the ring, shouting abuse at RVD while also making his way up the rampway.

Michael Cole: What the heck is that all about?

Tazz: I think Booker thinks that kick was no accident, and one thing that is sure, that book end was no accident. God what a way to kick of Wrestlemania.

Michael: A distraught Booker T shocking us there and now we are going over to the Raw announce team of JR and Jerry the king Lawler.

*The focus switches from the Smackdown announcers table and all the way over to the Raw announcers table that is sat near the rampway*

JR: Thank you Michael Cole. We welcome fans to Wrestlemania Twenty, I’m Jim Ross alongside Jerry the king Lawler. Booker T certainly shocking us all with his actions right there.

King: Certainly JR, I really miss this guy being on Raw.

JR: Of the subject off Smackdown now though as we welcome you to the Raw part off things. Wrestlemania live to viewers across the world right now, along with this sold out crowd, live in Madison square garden. What a night we have scheduled for you folks, and on a night like tonight you would expect something special, and that special ness certainly lies in our main event that's for sure.

Lawler: Your right JR, the more you mention it though, the more I try to tell you that the nature boy is done for. JR he was the dirtiest player in the game...then we all met Triple H.

JR: Triple H, the world champion, to defend the title against Ric Flair here tonight. One thing the nature boy doesn’t do is backing down and we will go into this fight tonight as the underdog, especially with Evolution lurking near the ringside area.

*The WWE Women’s champion’s music hits the arena and out walks Lita to a chorus of boos from the sold out arena*

JR: Kicking off the raw side of things here at Wrestlemania Twenty with some women's action. Lita set to defend the women’s title against Victoria and a mystery opponent. Eric Bischoff announced a week ago that someone would be added into this thing to spice it up.

King: I don’t care JR, puppies galore!

JR: I had a feeling that line was coming sooner or later.

*Lita has made her way into the ring and up onto the turnbuckle, only to be booed straight back down. She looks to climb the opposite turnbuckle, but she is cut off by the sound of All the things she said by Tatu, as the crowd give a small pop to Victoria, who walks out onto the stage and begins to make her way down the ramp*

JR: The two of these women going at it this past Monday after Victoria was cost her match with Molly Holly by Lita, who was actually the special guest referee.

King: Hey, maybe Molly Holly is the mystery woman.

*By now, Victoria has made her way into the ring as the referee stands between the two to stop them coming to blows. Victoria’s music slowly fades out and the arena is turned to pure silence. To everyone's surprise, I’m back, the theme music for Eric Bischoff, blares across the arena and out walks the Raw General Manager to huge boos*

JR: What the heck does Bischoff want out here?

Bischoff: Now I haven’t come out here to interrupt, I have simply come out here to introduce the third woman to be entered into this match. Now without further due, please welcome to lovely...MADUSAAAA!

King: Who?!?

*Everyone is expecting Madusa to come charging out from the backstage area, but instead she comes through the crowd and right over the banister, then slides into the ring behind both women*

JR: My god, Victoria just got beheaded from behind by that woman.

Lita© Vs Victoria Vs Madusa - Women’s championship

Victoria sent to the ground straight away with the clothesline from behind. Lita looks over at Madusa as if to say they can be friends, but Madusa no sells and beheads Lita with a power clothesline. The crowd let out a few cheers for the former WCW lady. Victoria back to her feet and Madusa kicking her into the stomach. Victoria sent into the ropes, off she comes, and Madusa scores with a solid powerslam. Lita back up, but she is right back down as Madusa plants her in the centre of the ring with a double arm superplex.

King: Who is this lady JR?

Bischoff: That would be Madusa, a former WCW Cruiserweight champion and women’s champion. Heck a former WWE women’s champion, you would know wouldn’t you JR?

King: When did you get here Eric?

Bischoff: Just now King, am I not wanted here?

King: It’s a pleasure Eric, ignore JR.

JR: Yeah what a pleasure.

Bischoff: Really? That’s good, because I’m going to be joining you two for the main event later tonight. Oh what a DDT from Madusa to Lita right there. So JR, do you remember Madusa? Do you remember when she won the WWE women’s title back in 1996, then moved over to WCW...AND BINNED THE WWE WOMEN’S TITLE? Classic WCW right there.

In the ring, Victoria has made her way back to her feet, while on the outside Lita seems to be out cold after rolling out from the DDT. Madusa sending Victoria into the ropes, and this time Victoria manages to clothesline Madusa down. Victoria off the ropes again, and hitting a jumping shoulder block to Madusa. Victoria dragging Madusa back up, and now Lita is back in the ring. The two seem to have put things aside, or are just wanting to take Madusa out of the picture, either way, Madusa gets lifted into the air and planted in the centre of the ring with a double superplex. The two put Madusa to one side though and begin to go at it themselves. Lita getting the better of Victoria and sending her crashing into the turnbuckle. Lita charging in for the clothesline, but Victoria moves and Lita crashes into the turnbuckle. Lita slowly pulling out from the corner and she walks right into a superplex from Victoria. The pinfall from Victoria...One...Two...Kick out from Lita. Victoria dragging Lita straight back to her feet and sending her into the ropes, Lita comes off and ducks the clothesline, kick to the midsection...TWIST OF FATE!...Lita hitting the twist of fate and is now going up top for the moonsault. Just before she can even think about diving off, out of nowhere comes Madusa. She leaps up onto the second ropes, locks her arms around the waste of Lita and pulls backwards with a German superplex off the top rope.

Bischoff: Wow!

JR: My god what impact right there, I think Lita may have a broken neck from that.

Madusa makes the pin straight away...One...Two...Three...the referee counts the three and rings for the bell, as Madusa gets to her feet and is handed the women’s title. Both Victoria and Lita are down on the canvas still.

The same goes for you Batista, and well Michaels I don't think I need to say anything to you, as you already know the score.

Michael: Welcome back to the Smackdown side of things here, John Cena ready to defend the US title against the French guy, Rene Dupree.

Tazz: What a match up this is going to be Cole, these two have been going at it for sometime now, and believe me while this French guy is hated, you cant deny his talent.

Michael Cole: Certainly so and that was proven this past week on Smackdown when he took John Cena out in the backstage area, injuring Cena’s left leg pretty badly.

*Michael Cole is cut off as basic thuganomics blasts through the speakers and the crowd erupt as John Cena walks out onto the stage*

Tazz: Man what a reception for the doctor of thuganomics, John Cena.

*Cena makes his way down the ramp and then into the ring, where he takes a microphone and stands in the centre of the ring, staring at Rene Dupree who is just a few feet away*

Cena: Yo, yo, yo, I’m standing in the centre of the garden *Huge pop*

Am I the only one in the Garden that thinks Dupree’s a bit of a pansy?

The rumour I heard was that you and Michael Cole wear the pant’s of a ninety year old granny *Cheap pop*

It’s quite simple dog, you and the French make us people sick

I aint got time for your pathetic words, I’m way to busy loving the New York KNICKS! *Huge cheap pop*

All you ever do is look at this title as if its some sort of toy

Hey frenchie, why you got to always be strutting around the ring like your the god damn nature boy?

So basically, your trying to be someone that you aint. Dupree your nothing but a jock

Heck I aint got time for this, so why don’t you just suck my...{The crowd screams “cock”}

Tazz: Oh my god Cole!

Michael Cole: I think Rene Dupree just caused the biggest upset off all time right there, and to end it with John Cena’s own finishing manoeuvre.

Tazz: I’m in shock Cole, that came out of nowhere as well. Dupree came into this thing as the underdog, and man did he make a huge point here tonight.

Michael Cole: A match that will surely be talked about in years to come, we have a new US champion guys, and its Rene Dupree.

Tazz: I have to admit it Cole, I kinda like this guy. What a performance he put on tonight, and that just proved every word I said earlier. Tonight is a night that people get there chance to shine, and boy did Dupree take that chance.

*The cameras cut into the backstage area where Eric Bischoff is seen sitting in a chair at his desk. The camera keeps focus on Eric, but it seems someone else is in the room*

Eric: You know what you have to do tonight. What ever happens tonight, you know what needs to be done when everything is all said and done. I relied on you at a time in WCW, and you didn’t let me down. So hopefully I can count on you again.

*The camera doesn’t get the chance to even see who Eric is talking to as the music of Edge and Christian blares across the arena, cutting off the feed from the backstage area*

King: Who was Eric talking to JR?

JR: I have no clue, but more of a question, what was he talking about?

*Edge and Christian tease a few people down at ringside before sliding into the ring and doing a few poses. They are quickly cut off though by a mix of a Canadian and American national anthem as out walks the World Tag Team Champions, Lance Storm and Shelton Benjamin*

JR: The world tag team titles up for grabs here, with Shelton and Storm defending against a team of Edge and Christian. You have to believe Edge and Christian have the advantage here after this past Mondays Raw where Shelton and Storm took on Kane.

King: Maybe JR, but look what happened to Edge and Christian when they tried to get involved.
