SmackDown! March 4th 2004 Preview.

With just ten days until WrestleMania, be ready for an explosive night of SmackDown!! The advancement matches continue, as we will decide the SmackDown! representives for the Warzone match. Last Monday night, Goldberg offered a deal for Brock Lesnar to appear at the match, so that they can simply beat the hell out of eahc other. Will Brock Lesnar be in the advancement matches? And will he be in the Warzone match? Last week, Chavo Guerrero challenged his uncle to a one-on-one match, and that is what you SmackDown! fans will get, as the two Guerreros will battle it out to decide who is the better Guerrero? And what will Edge's answer be to the challenge that was made last week shockingly by Christian? Will Edge accept the challenge to defend the US title at WrestleMania against his brother? This, and a lot more this Thursday night on SmackDown!.

PS: Thanks a lot for the feedback, but don't be afraid to send me some negative stuff, as well. They usually help me to improve the diary. Keep them going!

This looks good. Though it lacks match quality, your Wrestlemania card looks very Wrestlemania-like so far.

Uhm..? My point is to make WrestleMania WrestleMania-like. What's your point?

SmackDown! March 4th 2004.

Phoenix, Arizona.

Michael Cole and Tazz.

Opening.

The pyros go off around the SmackDown! fist and the show is live.

Cole: Good evening, everybody, and welcome to SmackDown!! We are ten short days away from the biggest show on the Earth, WrestleMania XX!

Tazz: I can't wait for WrestleMania XX, Cole! Not after last week's announcement for the main event.

Cole: Tonight, we will see four advancement matches that decide who will compete for the Undisputed Gold at the biggest stage in the Warzone match!

Brock Lesnar's theme music starts to play and he walks down the ramp, jumps to the apron and enters the ring.

Tazz: Here Comes the Pain, and it's not looknig happy.

Cole: I think most of the people have already realised that if Brock Lesnar and Raw's Bill Goldberg get themselves into the Warzone match, the two monsters can and will go head-to-head.

Lesnar: You thought it wasn't possible. 'No, no, no, Brock. Goldberg is on Raw and you're on SmackDown!, there's no way the two of you can wrestle!' Well, look at the situation now: inter-promotiomal match for the Undisputed title. Bill Goldberg - the World Heayweight Champion and Brock Lesnar - the greatest talent on the SmackDown! roster. I will be in the match, and I will beat the hell out of you and walk out the Undisputed WWE Champion! You can consider your deal accepted.

Tazz: Alright!

Lesnar: Just make sure you don't lose the title to Kane next Monday night. And, Bill Goldb...

Crowd: Brock, You're Next! Brock, You're Next! Brock, You're Next!

Lesnar smirks.

Lesnar: That's right. I'm the Next man in the WWE to pin Bill Goldberg.

Cole: Very few people has ever pinned Goldberg. Triple H is the only man in the WWE that has done it.

Lesnar: At WrestleMania, I'm showing Bill Goldberg the true meaning of Off the Hook Pain!

Paul Heyman appears at the ramp.

Heyman: Brock, there is nothing I like more than to prove Paul Heyman's SmackDown!'s superioirity over Raw. Now, you do deserve your spot at the main event. Because, if it wasn't for Goldberg, you would have the WWE title on your waist right this moment. So, I have decided that I will let you be in the main event without having to wrestle an adv...

Stephanie McMahon also walks to the stage and interrupts Heyman.

Cole: Stephanie?

Tazz: Shane McMahon's team won the match at No Way Out, and now Stephanie is back on SmackDown!!

Stephanie: Excuse me, Paul, but did I just hear you saying that Brock Lesnar gets an automatic trip to WrestleMania XX?

Heyman nods his head and says: 'That's exactly right!'

Stephanie: Well, that's just not gona happen. As Co-Chairman of this company, I have the responsibilty to make sure that everything goes fair and square. In other words, Brock Lesnar does have to wrestle in an advancement match just like evryone else.

Heyman looks a bit pissed off, but then continues.

Heyman: OK, OK, OK! Brock Lesna wrestles in an advancement match tonight. I will choose a worthy opponent.

Lesnar: I don't care! I will do anything to get my hands on Bill Goldberg! You can send the whole SmackDown! roster after me, but I will get my revenge!

American Hero

Cole: Kurt Angle, the former WWE Champion, what are your last thoughts about the advancement match that's coming up? We just heard that you're facing your former 'student' Charlie Haas.

Angle: Charlie Haas is a great athlete. I know it, because I trained him. But Charlie Haas is donig this for himself, as I'm donig this for America. I'm going to WrestleMania XX, into the Warzone match, and win back my World Championship for this great country.

Cole: Kurt Angle, you lost the WWE title two weeks back at No Way Out. First of all, you weren't even involved in the pinfall, and secondly it was Raw's Goldberg who cost Brock Lesnar the victory and gave the title to John Cena. What do you think?

Angle: I know, and respect the rules, of a Fatal Four-Way match. I know that I can lose the title without being involved. But I also respect a thing called a 'rematch'. I never got a chance for a rematch, but in 10 days, at WrestleMania XX, I will get my revenge.

3:00

------------------------

Why, Crish, Why?

Chris Benoit's 'Whatever' theme hits the speakers and he walks down to the ring, to small chorus of boos.

Cole: Chris Benoit, in my eyes, has a lot to explain tonight. Last week, he faced John Cena in a match for the WWE Championship. After the match, John Cena offered a handshake, but Benoit pulled Cena into a Crossface.

Tazz: What would have done?

Cole: I would have shaked the dam hand!

Tazz: Well, you're Michael Cole...

Benoit: For the last week, people have been asking: 'Chris Benoit, why did you attack John Cena last week? You and Cena were friends.' Well, just for you to know, Chris Benoit is not here to make friends, Chris Benoit is here to be the Best! We all know that Cena doesn't desrve the title, he won it because of Goldberg and the Spear. In my opinion, anybody but Cena desrves the title. John Cena is nothing but a ghetto thug, who got lucky.

The crowd boos.

Benoit: I already know that I have an advancement match coming up, and I'm going reach my destiny to wrestle in the main event of WrestleMania XX and win the Undisputed title!

'Basic Thuganomics' starts to play and the reigning WWE Champion makes his way to the ring, as the crowd goes wild.

Tazz: Here we go, it's Cena!

Cole: How will Cen react, as Benoit called him a 'Ghetto thug, who got lucky'?

Cena: Yo, Chris, what's the deal here? You lose one match, and then my victory is a fluke? I maybe a ghetto thug, but, Chris, judging your history, you're a Dungeon fag...

Most of the crowd cheers, but the true fans throw mid-finger salutes to Cena.

Benoit: I couldn't care less of you're stupid rhymes! Right now, I'm concentrated on my advancement match. But come WrestleMania XX, Madison Square Garden, I'm going to kick your ass.

Benoit walks out of the ring.

Cena: You have an advancement match tonight, eh? Well, this ghetto thug will sit down at ringside to find out how good you really are!

SmackDown! March 4th 2004 Report.

Some of the most shocking SmackDown!'s in recent exploded on March 4th at the America West Arena. The most important things happening were Eight , of course, the Advancement Matches. Eight SmackDown! Superstars fought it out to decide wich four will move on to the Warzone match at Madison Square Garden. The four people advancing were: Kurt Angle, Chris Benoit, Brock Lesnar and Eddie Guerrero, whose match with his nephew Chavo turned into an Advancement Match. Brock Lesnar let us know exactly what being in the Warzone match means to him: it's an opportunity to beat Goldberg. Brock Lesnar has said that beating Goldberg is know more important to him than the Undisputed title.

Speaking of feuds, the situation between Eddie and Chavo boiled up on SmackDown!, as they finally faced each other one-on-one. It wa supposed to be a normal one-on-one match, but Paul Heyman surprisingly made it an Advancement Match, where the winner would move onto to the Warzone match. In the end, Eddie was able to capture the victory over his nephew and is no moving to WrestleMania XX.

Last week, Chris Benoit shocked the world by attacking the WWE Champion, John Cena after the match and applying him to the Crossface. On this week's episode of SmackDown!, Benoit let us know why he did it. Benoit said that he is not here to make friends, he's here to become the Champion. He also said that Cena's victory was a oure fluke, and it would never happen again. Benoit will have to prove his words, as he is one of ten men in the Warzone match in less than two weeks.

Even more WrestleMania announcements were made, as Charlie Haas challenged his tag team partner to a match. Shelton has accidently cost the match for Haas on two occasions, and now Haas has had enough. Haas pummeled his own tag team partner on the ground with a steel chair and said that it's the two of them at 'Mania!

The FBI had a good evening, as Nunzio became the #1 Contender for the WWE Cruiserweight title, and the other two members, Chuck Palumbo and Johnny Stamboli, will compete in a Triple Threat match, along with Too Cool, against the Basham Brothers for the WWE Tag Team titles.

Monday Night Raw March 8th Preview.

The final Raw before WrestleMania XX will be live from East Ruthersford, New Jersey! The biggest match of the night is the main event, where Goldberg will put his World Heavyweight title and the spot at WrestleMania on the line against Kane! Will Goldberg remain as World Champion and get his chance for revenge on Brock Lesnar and the Undisputed title at 'Mania, or will Kane dominate the Champion? Will Kane get some peace from the messages that he has been getting for the past month? And the second big match of the evening is the Six-Man Tag Team match where Randy Orton, Batista and Ric Flair of Evolution will take on The Rock, Chris Jericho and Mick Foley. Last week, Mick Foley accepted Randy Orton's challenge to match at WrestleMania. Foley later on insisted that it will be a Street Fight match. But this Monday on Raw, the two will be in the same ring together, and there is no guarantee on what happens! Also, expect Nova to be after some retribution from Matt Hardy because of the automatic DQ that caused Matt to retain his Intercontinental Championship. This, and a whole lot more, this Monday night on Raw!

Ross: The Rock is making his way to the ring. Last week, The Rock and Triple H fought in an Advancement Match, and The Rock had the win in his pocket, but Ric Flair and the sledgehammer made sure that it was Triple H that goes into the main event of WrestleMania.

Crowd: Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!

Lawler: Listen to this!

Rock: Finally...

Crowd: ...The Rock has come back to Ruthersford!

Rock: ...The Rock has come back to whoop Evolution's ass in East Ruthersford!

Lawler: Haha!

The crowd cheers.

Rock: The Rock is usually in a good mood, but tonight The Rock is basically pissed off!

Lawler: Oh-oh...

Rock: You all know what happened to The Rock last week here on Raw. The Rock - Triple H, one-on-one for the right to appear at the main event of WrestleMania XX. The Rock had layed the crashboombangtatatan smacketh down on Triple H and was about to hit the most electrifying move in sports-entertainment, the People's Elbow on him and cover him, 1-2-3, but down the aisle runs Ric Flair, carrying the sledghammer and smacks The Rock in the head with.

The crowd boos.

Rock: That gave Triple H the opportunity to pin the Great One in the middle of the ring, and god damn The Rock ain't happy! And when The Rock ain't happy, and when The Rock ain't happy, someone's gonna pay. So, right now The Rock is standing in this ring as long as it takes to get the Evolution here!

Ross: The Rock has called out Evolution!

Lawler: This isn't smart, Rock...

Motörhead's 'Evolution' fills the speakers and all four members of the stable make thei way to the ring.

Ross: There you see four of the very best in this business today: Randy Orton, Batista, the Game and the Nature Boy, Triple H.

Triple H: So, let me get this straight: you're here to cry about losing to me last week and you're after some sort of rematch. Am I right?

Rock: No. The Rock ain't here to talk to you, so know your role and shut you mouth!

Lawler: He can't talk to the Game like that!

Rock: The Rock came here to talk to you.

The Rock points at Flair.

Rock: It was you who drove the sledgehammer right into The Rock's face last week, and The Rock wants to get some back!

Flair: Hold on there, Rocky. I just took a shower, and I'm not in the mood for fighting you. There's the Six-Man Tag Team match coming up and...

Rock: The Rock isn't talknig about tonight. The Rock isn't talknig about next week, No, no, no, no... The Rock is talking about something bigger: Madison Square Garden, March 14th, WrestleMania XX! That's where The Rock wants to figh you! What do you say? Are you ready...

The crowd joins The Rock.

Rock: ...to go one-on-one with the Great One at WrestleMania XX?

Flair: No problem at all, Rock. Nature Boy - The Rock at WrestleMania. But just for you to know, when you mess with one member of Evolution, you mess with them all.

'I'm Back' hits the arena and the Co-GM of Raw, Eric Bischoff, makes his way to the stage.

Ross: Now what?

Bischoff: You know, Rocky, I was just about to say that. You want to come out here and throw your way around? Fine, but the match isn't happening.

The crowd boos.

Bischoff: Instead, it is going to be The Rock vs. Ric Flair... and Batista!

Ross: What?

The members of Evolution start to smile.

Bischoff: That's right: The Rock vs. both World Tag Team Champions in a Handicap match!

Bischoff does a mockery People's Eyebrow and leaves, leaving The Rock in the ring angry.

Lawler: Bischoff just let The Rock know who's the boss.

The Rock stands still for a second, and then attacks Flair with solid right hands.

Ross: Bah Gawd! Look at the fight here!

The Rock knocs down Flair with the People's Punch, but when he turns around, Batista knocks him down with the World Tag Team title belt.

Lawler: The Rock is down!

The Evolution man-handles The Rock in a four-on-one assault, but Mick Foley, carrying Barbie, and Chris Jericho run down to the ring, causing the Evolution to retreat. Just before Randy gets out of the ring, Mick gets nails him with one shot to the back with Barbie.

Lawler: Oh no!

Ross: Mick Foley just hit Orton with Barbie! Oh, what a Six-Man Tag Team match we're going to see tonight, King!

Monday Night Raw March 8th Report.

March 8th was an episode of Raw that most won't forget! A shocking turn of evens happened in the night's main event, where Goldberg defended the World Heavyweight title against Kane. After a pretty even match, Kane had the victory in his pocket, but out of nowhere came SmackDown!'s Brock Lesnar with an F5 on Kane! Lesnar then pulled Goldberg on the cover for a title defense. After the match, Lesnar entered the ring again and gave Goldberg an F5, as well! Lesnar then posed with Goldberg's own World Heavyweight title in the ring. The other big happening was the Six-Man Tag Team match between Evolution and Rock, Y2J and Mick Foley. After a slobberknocker, Mick Foley forced Ric Flair to submit in the hands of the Mandible Claw. The Rock also made it very clear that he wants Flair at WrestleMania XX. Flair accepted the challenge, but the Co-General Manager, Eric Bischoff stated that the match ain't gonna happen: Ric Flair gets a tag team partner in Batista! Another WrestleMania-announcement was made, when Nova insisted that Mick Foley gives him another shot at Matt Hardy's Intercontinental Championship. Foley agreed to book Nova against Matt Hardy at WrestleMania, and the IC title is on the line. Kane got sent one last message from beyond the grave, when he found an urn in the middle of the ring, the ring shook and started raining. It was made clear that WrestleMania XX is the day when the stalker shows his face, as the message in the TitanTron said: 'Six Days...' Can the Undertaker be alive or is someone just making fun of Kane? But one of the biggest announcements of the night came from Shane McMahon: next week on Raw, the day after WretleMania, a Brand Lottery will be held with 30 Superstars up for grabs! Who goes where? Stick with Raw to find out!

Tazz: He must have stolen it last Monday night!

The crowd boos.

Lesnar: Oh, boo all you want! Boo me from the bottom of your hearts.

The crowd boos even heavier.

Lesnar: You can boo me, but admit it: my plan was perfect! By invading Raw last Monday night, I made sure that Bill Goldberg will get what's coming to him at WrestleMania! And by the way...

Lesnar tells the ring announcer to get in the ring and says something to him.

Ring Announcer: OK... ladies and gentlemen, in the ring the World Heavyweight Champion, Brock Lesnar!

Cole: Oh, please...

Tazz: Well, he is the Champ... technically...

Lesnar: So, it's just a matter of time, when I beat Goldberg in the Warzone match and capture the WWE title as well. And it means everything to me! And Bill Goldberg is the reason I'm not the WWE Champion right now. There is no one in this company that wants that title more than I do...

'Viva La Raza' pumps up the building and Eddie Guerrero drives his low-rider to the ramp.

Cole: Eddie Guerrero? What is Eddie Guerrero doing here?

Tazz: This must be some kind of mistake...

Cole: This is suicide, Eddie!

Eddie gets out of the car and recieves a huge ovation as he climbs to the ring.

Eddie: What's up, homes?

Brock Lesnar asks: 'What the hell are you doing in here?'

Eddie: What I'm I doing here? I'm here to congratulate you, homes! You are the World Heavyweight Champion, right? I lie, I cheat and I steal, but that... that is off the hook, homes. I see you come in here and bamble about how winning the Undisputed title means everything to you. Well, you're doing this for Brock Lesnar. Eddie Guerrero does this for the Raza, homes!

The crowd cheers.

Lesnar: Do you have something good to say or are you here to just waste my time?

Eddie: What I'm doing here? What am I doing here? I'm here to challenge the World Heavyweight Champion, ese!

Cole: What?

Tazz: Wow, wow, wow... don't do it, Eddie!

Lesnar: You? You want to fight me tonight? Well... haha... if you're serious, you've got it!

Cole: I think this isn't too smart from Eddie...

Eddie: Oh, I'm serious, homes! Tonight, on SmackDown! Eddie Guerrero vs. Brock Lesnar!

Lesnar: I hope you know what you're doing.

Lesnar offers a handshake and Eddie accepts it. Lesnar then pulls him to a hard Clothesline.

Cole: Oh, come on!

True Champion or Not?

Kurt Angle's theme music starts to play and the former WWE Champion makes his way to the ring, recieving a huge ovation and the 'you suck' chants.

Cole: Kurt Angle, one of the greatest ever in this business. He will be on of five men that will represent SmackDown! in the Warzone match this Sunday. But what does he have to say now?

Angle: A lot of people have said to me: 'Kurt, if it wasn't for that Fatal Four-Way rule, you would still be WWE Champion.' That might be true, but the rules are the rules. You can lose the title without losing the match, and I understand that. But I also have said that I respect a rematch. And, John Cena, you never beat me in a one-on-one match. So, what I'm gonna do is that I'm going to call you and challenge you for a fair one-on-one match tonight. I'm not asking you to put the title on the line, as it would be pointless. A true Champion accepts any challenge, anywhere, anytime and anyplace.

Cole: Kurt Angle has called out the WWE Champion, John Cena!

'Basic Thuganomics' start to play in the arena, and the WWE Champion makes his walk to the ring, also recieving a big ovation.

Cole: John Cena won the Fatal Four-Way match at No Way Out to become the WWE Champion for the first time ni his career.

Tazz: They all said Cena couldn't do it, but Cena proved them wrong.

Cena: Yo, you want to face me? Tonight? In a one-on-one match? Non-title?

Angle: Just to find out who the better man is.

Cena: Aye... John Cena is a true Champion, and he accepts a challenge anywhere, anytime and anyplace, so the match is on!

Tazz: Oh right!

Cena: Kurt Angle vs. John Cena - tonight!

Chris Benoit's theme music starts to play and he walks down to the stage.

Tazz: Benoit?

Benoit Boo-hoo... how heart-warming. How touching. Two great Superstars ready to find out who's better in a non-title match. That just proves the point I made earlier: Kurt Angle, when you challenge the Champion to a match, you challenge him for the title! I said you don't have the desire to win the Warzone match, and this proves it.

Cena: Yo, Chris, you have a problem with the two of us you can always come here and say to our faces!

Benoit I would, but I just had a rough time when I beat Edge. It means that I'm done for the day, but at WrestleMania XX, I'm going to get what's mine, and that is the Undisputed Championship!

Tazz: Benoit sure made a statement.

08:50

--------------------------------

Born to Lose?

Josh Matthews is backstage with Brock Lesnar.

Josh: Brock Lesnar, what are you thinking about facing Eddie Guerrero in tonight's main event?

Lesnar: What am I thinking? Right now, I don't want to concentrate on some loser Eddie Guerrero, when I have the main event of WrestleMania, the Undisputed title and Bill Goldberg on my mind. Eddie Guerrero is a clown. He's here to entertain these people and win some minor league titles. He's not here to wrestle Brock Lesnar. Eddie Guerrero should be damn happy that he has the honor to face me tonight. Enjoy the main event.

SmackDown! March 11th Report

He Lies, He Cheats, He Steals, He Pins Lesnar!

The Road to WrestleMania has ended! March 11th was an episode of SmackDown! that Eddie Guerrero will never forget, as succeeded to pin Brock Lesnar in a one-on-one match! In the beginning of the night, Eddie Guerrero challeged Lesnar to a match, Lesnar accepted and bashed Eddie straight to his own low-rider. When the two squared off at the ring, Eddie turned out to be anything but a 'Clown' that Brock claimed him to be. Eddie took a chairshot from Lesnar that turned his face into a crimson mask. Eddie kept on fighting and, in the end, Lesnar was distracted by Goldberg's music and Eddie caught him up to a roll-up for the three-count! Goldberg then came to the SmackDown! ring to get what's his: the World Heavyweight title that Lesnar stole from him last Monday night on Raw. The night was big also for Kurt Angle and John Cena. Kurt Angle said that he wants to face Cena in a fair one-on-one match to decide who the better man is. The two met in a non-title match. After getting a beating, both men were down for the 10-count and the referee called the draw. A brawl also started between Paul London and Chavo Guerrero, as Chavo thought that London and Mysterio were laughing at him. Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas also settled some of their differences, and this lead to a Six-Man Tag Team match between Charlie Haas/Nunzio/Chavo Guerrero and Shelton Benjamin/Shannon Moore/Paul London. We'll see you next Sunday at WrestleMania XX!

Legend-Hunting

Randy Orton is standing in the backstage in front of a camera.

Randy: Mick... tonight's the the night. Tonight's the night when Randy Orton proves that he is the Legend-Killer. That's what I do. Mick, you want to face me in a Street Fight match? You see, that proves my point: you just can't admit that your best days are behind you. You insist that you frace me in a Non-Sanctioned Street Fight match, where the referee is there only to count the pinfall. That's fine by me. But let's face it, Mick: the only reason you wanted the match happen is that you still think that you're great Hardcore Legend Mick Foley. I don't care if you happened to win some Deathmatches in Japan, because that was then and this is now. And face the reality, Mick: right now, you're nothing. You're absolutely nothing. You're not the Hardcore Legend anymore. To me, you're just a author of children's books, who wants to be a wrestler. The best thing for you to do, is walk away. That's right. Walk way from this match, Mick. We understand you. We know that you're not a wrestler anymore. Walk away, Mick.

Steven Richards comes out next, carrying a kendo stick.

Casket.

Kane vs. Undertaker.

Ross: Ladies and gentlemen, the next match has been advertised as Kane vs. the Undertaker match, but to be honest we have no earthy idea who Kane is going to face here tonight.

Recap

Kane: I cam here tonight to give an eulogy for my brother, the Undertaker. The man I buried alive at Survivor Series. My brother and I used to share a common bond: we were monsters! But my brother commited a sin: he betrayed himself! He became one of you. This man was not my brother, this man was not a monster, this man was nothing but a froad! I buried him alive. Rest in peace.

Chris Jericho is now the only two-time Undisputed Champion in WWE history, and has made it clear that whoever decides to underestimate him, is dead wrong.

Lesnar Setted the Score

Also in the Warzone match, Brock Lesnar succeeded in his objective to pin Goldberg. Goldberg was about to hit Lesnar with the destructive Jackhammer, but Lesnar countered with an F5 for the pinfall! The pinfall victory came with a cost, as Lesnar was laughing at Goldberg, Chris Jericho rolled him up for a pinfall. Will this be the end of the feud? Will the two Superstars end up in the same show at the brand lottery? Time will tell...

The Dead Has Risen

We all thought he was dead. We all thought he was buried alive at Survivor Series. We all thought that he would never return. We were all wrong. The Undertaker returned to seek revenge to his brother, Kane at WrestleMania XX. Undertaker put Kane inside an air-tight Casket and shut the lid. The Dead has returned.

Vince is the Owner... again

Some score was also settled between Vince and Shane McMahon. The two met in the bloody and brutal Last Man Standing match, where the winner would become the 100% owner of the company. Both men put their everything to the match, but it was Vince coming out on top at the end, when Shane missed a Diving Elbow and crahes through the announce tables. What will happen as a result of this?

...and new Hardcore Legend: Randy Orton!

Eventhough, he faced Cactus Jack instead of Mick Foley, Randy Orton succeeded to come out on top and win the Street Fight. The match was a brutal one, and it included things liek thumbtacks, barbedwire boards and the infamous Barbie of Cactus Jack. Both men took and gave damage, but the final RKO on thumbtacks was too much for even Cactus Jack to withstand. So, Randy Orton is now, without a doubt, a Hardcore Legend.

Christian Wins the Brotherly War

Edge and Christian took care of business in the Ladder match, with the US title on the line. After a war, Christian clumbed the ladder to grab the US title for the win. Has Christian finally proven that he is better than his brother?

Matt Cheats His Way to Retain

Nova finally got to face Matt Hardy in a one-on-one match for Matt's Intercontinental title. It seemed like Nova had the match won, but Matt used the ropes for levereage to make sure Nova stays down for the three-count. Though, Nova will without a doubt be seeking for revenge.

Evolution is Superior to Hollywood

The Handicap match between The Rock and Evolution saw The Rock get beaten for the three-count after Batista's Sit-Out-Powerbomb. The Rock gave a hell of a fight, but the man-advantage was just too much. Will The Rock now seek for a one-on-one match?

Mordecai Makes an Impact!

The Triple Threat match for the Hardcore title was almost won by Steven Richards, but an unidentified man (it was Mordecai) interfered and attacked everyone involved in the match. The biggest blockbuster was that Mordecai was accompanied by the one and the only Paul Bearer! Raven then used his last powers to cover Steven to retain the title.

All About the Benjamins

Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas also took care of the unfinished business by pitting up at the grandest stage of them all. Both men had the match won on many occasions, but Shelton Benjamin and the Dragon Whip made sure that Charlie Haas stayed down for the pin.

London With a Huge Upset

In the match that was booked just three days before the event, Paul London pinned Chavo Guerrero. London reversed Chavo's Cross Body into a roll-up for the win. Where will London go from here?

FBI Gathers the Gold

In the first match of the evening, Nunzio pinned Shannon Moore for the Cruiserweight gold. Then, a little bit later, Johnny Stamboli and Chuck Palumbo succeeded in capturing the Tag Team gold. So, now all three FBI members have gold on their waste. Will they finally get the respect Nunzio was talking about?

Monday Night Raw March 15th

Tampa, Florida.

Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler.

Recap

A video package shows us the highlights of last night's WrestleMania.

Opening

Before the opening credits, we are shown that in the ring, there is a red carpet and a pedestal-style statue that has a brand-new Undisputed title placed on the top.

Ross: And there you see it: the Undisputed title that will soon be awarded to the new Champion.

The opening credits play, the pyros go off and Raw is live.

Ross: Welcome, everyone, to Monday Night Raw! After the most shocking, most memorable, most unpredictable night at Madison Square Garden, Raw is live from Tampa, Florida!

Lawler: This is going to be a great night, but it may be the last night with Raw as it is, as we don't know what happens in the brand lottery!

The countdown begins, the fans get on their feet and the new Undisputed WWE Champion, Chris Jericho makes his way tot he red-carpetted ring, holding both World titles and getting a huge ovation.

Ross: I don't know about the lottery, but I know what happened last night! Chris Jericho survived the Warzone, Chris Jericho outlasted the Game to win the Undisputed Championship at WrestleMania XX!

Lawler: OK, calm down, JR. We all saw what happened.

Ross: Chris Jericho finally proved that his victory over The Rock and Stone Cold three years ago wasn't a fluke.

Jericho: Welcome to...

Jericho takes a deep breath.

Jericho: Raw is...

Crowd: ...Jericho!

Jericho: ...the Undisputed WWE Champion, Jericho!

Lawler: Well, he is the Champion, alright.

Ross: Damn right he is.

Jericho: Three years ago, I...

Crowd: Y2J! Y2J! Y2J!

Jericho: Thank you. Three years ago, I became the first-ever Undisputed Champion, by beating The Rock and Stone Cold one after the other. But instead of 'Chris Jericho, I knew you could do it! You really are a great wrestler!', I heard that my win was just a fluke, that Triple H was having an injury, that he would take the title away from me, when he came back. OK, that happened. It happened. But three years later, at WrestleMania XX, Madison Square Garden, I made the Game tap out!

Lawler: Aaaww... that wasn't supposed to happen.

Ross: But it did happen and Jericho won the Undisputed title!

Motörhead's 'the Game' once again fills the arena and a very angry-looking Triple H appears at the stage. Triple H throws the waterbottle to the ground and stomps on it. Triple H then makes his way to the ring with a furious look in his eyes.

Lawler: Oh, man... the Game doesn't look too happy, does he, JR?

Ross: What in the hell is he even doing here? This is Chris Jericho's moment. The Game has no business being out here.

Triple H: I'm in no mood for any of your crap tonight!

The crowd boos.

Triple H gets right in the face of Jericho.

Triple H: You have one big, fluke victory and you're the big shot, huh? Let me tell you, something...

Crowd: You tapped out! You tapped out! You tapped out!

Triple H: Shut up! Just shut the hell up!

Ross: I have never seen Triple H like this.

Triple H: Yeah, I tapped out. Does that make you that happy? Huh? Does it make you happy?

The crowd cheers.

Triple H: Let me tell you something: it is never, and I mean never, going to happen again! And what's the big deal, anyway? One subm...

Jericho: Yeah, what's the big deal. I mean, it was just the biggest match in the history of this business. Nothing big.

Triple H: For your own good, Jericho, shut up! I came out here for a reason. Now, we all know, Jericho that your victory last night was just a fluke. A fluke that will never happen again. Now then, as your victory was nothing but a fluke, you should do the right thing.

Ross: Do the right thing?

Triple H: You give that Undisputed WWE title... to me.

Ross: Oh, please...

Lawler: It's the righ thing. Jericho should do that.

Triple H: Jericho, listen to me: you don't have what it takes to be a true Champion. The bullseye is now on your chest, Jericho. Everybody's after you. For the sake of this company, give me the belt.

Jericho: Sure. I'll do the right thing and you this belt.

Jericho grabs the Undisputed title and knocks down the Game with it.

Lawler: Oh, no! That's not the right thing!

Ross: Jericho just clubbered down the Game with the Undisputed title!

Jericho climbs the turnbuckle and celebrates with the Undisputed title.

Ross: Chris Jericho is a fighting Champion that we can we proud of, King!

Hardcore Legend in the Battered Flesh

Evolution's theme music fills the Tampa arena, and a bruised Randy Orton carefully walks to the ring.

Lawler: Here he is, JR: Randy Orton, the Legend-Killer!

Ross: Indeed, last night Randy Orton did wha he promised: he pinned Mick Foley in his own game in Madison Square Garden.

Lawler: At WrestleMania XX, JR. Don't forget that.

Randy: Last night...

Crowd: Asshole, asshole, asshole...

Lawler: Come on, Tampa... respect!

Randy: Oh, yeah, you boo me now, but deep down you all know that I am the Man. You see, last night, Randy Orton made history. Not only did I beat Mick Foley, I beat the true Hardcore Legend, Cactus Jack in a Street Fight. I'm bruised, I'm battered and I'm hurt, but I am also the new Hardcore Legend. Thank you very much!

The crowd boos.

Randy: We all know that there is only one reason for your booing, and that is called jealousy. I understand. I'm 23 years old. What did you do in the age of 23? Huh? Did you get a job? Did you buy your own apartment? In the age of 23, Randy Orton wrestled Cactus Jack in Madison Square Garden. In the...

'If ya smell...' interrupts Randy's victory speech and The Rock appears at the stage, recieving a huge ovation from his homestate fans.

Ross: Bah Gawd! Bah Gawd! It's The Rock!

Lawler: The Rock?

The Rock starts to make his way to the ring.

Ross: I had absolutely no idea that The Rock was here tonight!

Lawler: He has no business being here! He lost last night!

The Rock grabs a microphone.

Crowd: Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!

Rock: Finally...

Rock and Crowd: ...The Rock has come back to Tampa!

Lawler: Listen to this crazed audience! They're nuts!

Ross: This is The Rock's homestate.

Rock: Randy Orton. I have to say that The Rock is disappointed.

Lawler: What?

Rock: Yeah, The Rock is very disappointed. Last night, it was Randy Orton - Cactus Jack, one-on-one. And yes, you pinned Cactus Jack, 1-2-3. You'd think that after a match like that, after a performace like that from both men, you would come out here and respect your opponent. But no. Instead, you come out here and run your mouth. Well, The Rock is sick of Randy Orton running his mouth. What do you say..?

Randy cuts-off The Rock.

Randy: Hold on there, Rocky! What in the world are you doing here? This doesn't even concern you! What match did you wrestle in, anyway? No wait - I remember: you got your ass kicked by Evolution's Ric Flair and Batista. Am I right?

The crowd boos.

Lawler: That's exactly right!

Rock: OK... yeah, The Rock lost. Last night, Evolution proved that in a two-on-one situation, they are capable of beating The Rock, and it takes them more than 15 minutes!

The crowd cheers, as Randy looks angry.

Rock: But let's not talk about Ric Flair and Batista. No, no, no, no... let's talk about The Rock and Randy Orton. The Rock has watched you running your mouth for long enough. What do you say? Are you read, to go one-on-one...

Randy: Wow, wow, wow, wow... there is nothing I would like more than to kick your ass in yoru homestate of Florida, but the truth is that I'm still quite hurt because of the Street Fight, and I need some time-off to heal.

The crowd boos.

Rock: The Rock understands. Oh, yeah, The Rock understands. There isn't going to be a match. No match is not gonig take place... but there will be a fight!

The Rock drops the microphone and starts to lay the smackdown on Randy Orton, as the crowd goes wild.

Lawler: Watch it! Watch it! Randy's injured!

The Rock pummels Randy over the top rope and grabs the microphone again.

Rock: If ya smell what The Rock is cooking?

Ross: The Rock just layed the smackdown all over Randy Orton!

The Roc celebrates in the sound of his theme music, but from out of nowhere comes Batista who attacks him.

Ross: Wait a minute! It's Batista!

Randy climbs back into the ring and blindsides Rock with an RKO.

Ross: Too injured to wrestle? Yeah right!

Ross: Well... Vince McMahon regained his position as the Chairman of the WWE Board last night by beating his son, Shane in a Last Man Standing match. and Vince truly was the Last Man Standing.

Lawler: Just look at his face, JR...

Vince: Guess who is the new Chairman of the Board?

The crowd boos.

Vince: Let's get down to the business now. Some time ago, my son Shane decided to single-handedly ruin my creation, by annoucing a Brand Lottery for tonight.

The crowd goes wild.

Vince: That's right! 30 WWE Superstars will be up for grabs and will change shows. In my opinion, that is the stupidest idea ever. If you ask me, this Lottery-thing should never happen.

The crowd boos again.

Vince: But. I already discussed this with the Board of Directors, and they told me that there is not a damn thing I can do about it. So, the Lottery is on and it will happen.

Ross: It's gonna happen tonight, King!

Lawler: I can't wait!

Vince: And by the way, speaking of winning the lotter, Shane, Stephanie... you're fired!

Ross: Well... can't say that I'm surprised.

Evolution's theme music starts to play for the second time tonight and all four members make thair way to the ring.

Triple H: Vince... congratulations for your victory last night. But we didn't come out here to congratulate you. We came tell you that this Brand Lottery can not happen. It can't happen. There is a too big chance for Evolution breaking up! Especially after last night, Evolution has to stick together. We can't afforrd...

Vince: Hunter, I understand what you mean. But I already told you that the Board of Directors have made up their minds. Each and every WWE Superstar is up for grabs. And the Lottery is tonight.

Triple H: So, there is absolutely nothing you can do? There is nothing Eric Bischoff can do?

Vince: Nothing.

Triple H: Listen to me! If even one of us gets drafted to SmackDown!, you make sure that he gets back on Raw!

Vince: Actually, if someone gets drafted to another show, he has an unsackable contract with that brand for six months.Wich means that the person has to be on that show for half a year before any changes are possible. I'm sorry, but that's the way it goes.

Triple H throws the microphone on the mat and the Evolution leaves the ring.

Singles

Hurricane vs. Mordecai w/Pauk Bearer

The Hurricane's theme music starts and the Green Superhero make shis heroic entrance to the ring.

Ross: King, in just a few seconds, we will witness one of the most brute WWE Superstars to step in the ring, as the Hurricane goes one-on-one with Mordecai.

Lawler: Oh, man... Mordecai is one scary-looking monster, JR.

Ross: Mordecai made a huge impact last night by interfering in the Hardcore Triple Threat match...

We are shown some still images from Mordecai's assault last night.

Ross: ...and one of the biggest upsets was the person who Mordecai was with: Paul Bearer!

Mordecai's theme music starts and the White Beast, with Paul Bearer, makes his way to the ring, carrying a staff.

Lawler: Paul Bearer is almost as scary as this Mordecai is.

Then actually see Bearer carrying an urn. Just like the one he used on the Undertaker in the 90s.

Ross: Wait a minute... is that... an urn?

Ross: There certainly is a flashback of two about the Undertaker and Paul Bearer.

Aftermath

Lawler: Is it just me, or does Mordecai act a lot like one certain Phenom, who also associated with Paul Bearer?

Ross: He certainly does, and... well, I'm not sure what is going on, but something is going on.

------------------------------------------

Retribution

We go backstage, where Nova is standing in front of a camera.

Nova: Matt Hardy... you must be very pleased of the outcome of our match last night? Well, I'm gonna wipe that smile off your face next week, when I will call you out and tell you the stipulation of our rematch at Backlash. Oh, didn't I tell you? On of the last actions that Mick Foley did as Co-GM, was that he made special rematch-clause in my contract: should you cheat to gain the victory at WrestleMania, I would get to choose the time, the place and the stipulation for our rematch. I'll see you next week, Champ.

01:00

------------------------------------------

Who Got Pinned, and Who Didn't?

HBK's 'Sexy Boy' fills up the arena and a bruised but smiling Shawn Michales makes his way down to the ring.

Ross: Bah Gawd! It's Shawn Michaels! Shawn Michaels, King!

Lawler: I see that but what is he doing here?

Ross: HBK is one of ten men who were involved in that Warzone match last night.

HBK: Obviously, I came out here for a reason. I simply came out here to call out the new Undisputed WWE Heavyweight Champion, Chris Jericho!

Ross: HBK is going to call out Jericho?

The new Y2J Countdown hits #2 and the Undisputed Champion makes his way to the ring, recieving a huge ovation and carrying the brand-new Undisputed title.

Lawler: Well, here comes Jericho.

HBK: Now, Jericho, before you say anything, I would just like to say that you fought one hell of a match last night and you deserve to carry that Undisputed title on your shoulder.

Jericho nods his head.

HBK: But there is one thing that I would like to address. In the match last night, HBK never got pinned. That's right. The EMTs put me on a stretcher and carried me to the back. Therefore, In my opinion, your first title defense should be against the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels.

The crowd goes nuts.

Ross: Jericho and Michaels?

Jericho: Shawn, I know what happened last night. I saw it, and I know that officially, you were never eliminated from that match. About the match, I would love to take you on, anytime and anywhere. And I think that these people, in Tampa, Florida...

The crowd cheers again.

Jericho: ...would love to see Y2J and HBK too hook it up?

The crowd cheers again.

Jericho: Now, you ask if I'm ready to take you on? Guess what, junior? I am. Let me ask you this: are you ready to take me on... tonight?

HBK: I simply love the idea!

Both men start to get ready for a match, but Eric Bischoff's music interrupts them.

Bischoff: Gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen...

Both, HBK and Y2J have the same angry expression on their faces.

Bischoff: I have to agree with HBK, because I simply love the idea of Y2J vs. HBK, too. And I actually decided to give you fans what you want. That's right: we are going to have that match...

The crowd goes absolutely bananas.

Bischoff: ...at Backlash!

The crowd boos.

Bischoff: I hope you understand that I have to think business-wise. But here me out: tonight, in that very ring, Shawn Michaels will team-up with the Undisputed Champion, Chris Jericho to take on Evolution's Ric Flair and Batista - for the World Tag Team Championship!

Ross: What?

Lawler: Haha! This is great!

HBK and Y2J are absolutely stunned by the decision.

Lawler: Look at the look on their faces!

Ross: HBK and Jericho have shot for the World Tag Team titles tonight! This is just... totally unexpected.

10:00

Arrival

Backstage, we see the SmackDown! GM, Paul Heyman arrive at the arena in a limo.

01:00

-----------------------------------------------

Better Man -Interv.

The Coach is interviewing Shawn Michaels backstage.

Well, Shawn, you must be having some cross-minded feeligns right noe about your Tag Team match against Evolution. You have a shot at the World Tag Team titles, but with Chris Jericho, who you will face at Backlash for the Undisputed title. What are your thoughts?

HBK: Sure, it's great to have a shot at the World Tag Team titles, and I wouldn't mind taking the titles away from Evolution, but the chemistry between me and Chris. You see, Chris knows that I'm the better man. Yeah, I respect Jericho's accomplishment adn his victory last night was no fluke. But at Backlash, I will be the better man.

Normal Tag

WWE World Tag Team Championship

Evolution© vs. Shawn Michaels/Chris Jericho

'Evolution' starts to play and the World Tag Champs, Ric Flair and Batista make their way down to the ring.

Ross: This will be an interesting match, King. Just moments earlier, we found out that Chris Jericho will defend the Undisputed title against Shawn Michaels at Backlash. And moments after that, we find out that tonight HBK and Jericho will team-up to fight for the World Tag Team titles.

Lawler: Let me tell you, JR: those two can't work together. They just can't do it. They've been hating each other since the Royal Rumble in 2003.

Ross: You may be right about that. In that very event, Jericho made sure that Shawn Michaels was the first man eliminated from the Royal Rumble match.

'Sexy Boy' starts playing again and the Heartbreak Kid kneels down on the ramp, exploding the pyros and moves to the ring.

Ross: One of the very greatest of all time, Shawn Michaels was involved in the first-ever Warzone match, and he was not pinned. He was never officially eliminated. He said he respects Jericho, but at Backlash, he will be the better man.

Lawler: I'm pretty sure that's what's gonna happen: Shawn Michaels takes the title away from Chris Jericho and prove that his victory at WrestleMania was nothing but fluke. A very big one, though.

The Y2J Countdown starts, and when it stops at 2, huge pyros go off and the Undisputed Champion walks down to the ring, getting a standing ovation once again.

Ross: Well, if you ask me, Jericho's victory last night was no fluke.

Lawler: Thank God no one asked you, JR.

HBK and Jericho immediately get into a staredown.

Ross: This in not going end well, I can tell you that...

Brand Lottery

Both men are standing at both sides of the stage. In front of them, are twi lottery machines with the names of every WWE Superstar in the roster. Bischoff has the names of the SmackDown! starts, and Heyman has the Raw talent. We are explained the rules: both GMs have 15 picks, 30 in total. One by one, they pick the names from the lottery machine, and the person whose name is on the piece of paper, will change shows. Bischoff starts.

Both GMs have a dazed look in their eyes, as Vince McMahon enters the stage, laughing
