"Rick Martel and me don't have much chemistry in the ring. How about putting me in a program with a worker like Chris Jericho? I think our styles would really work well together."- Al Snow

Argh! Lost my ass on this one.

Still, great show. Vader vs HBK/Whoever at Summerslam might be one to avoid...

But seriously though, nice to see Triple H getting what he was supposed to before the infamous Kliq incident. I didn't really see Yokozuna coming back as the partner for Warrior.

Still, Al Snow kinda spilled the beans on you having Jericho on your roster.

Other than that, I thought it was a great show. You really struck gold with Marc Mero vs Owen.

Great show as usual Hewey. Can I ask a question though, feel free to decline but could you post the overness of your wrestlers. In particular, Rick Martel, I'm interested to see just how over he has become.

Cheers matey

Great show! I liked the cactus/taker match. That feud it heated. Didnt see Yoko as Warrior's partner. I liked the main event and the finish. I would think a rematch between HBK and Jarrett would be in store for SummerSlam, but Vader and HBK might be good. Looking forward to Raw.

PS- One of these days Im gonna win a prediction contest. Im always like one off!

Location: Green Bay, Wisconsin

We're just twenty four hours removed from the King Of The Ring. And alot of things went down. Shawn Michaels retained the WWF Championship but almost lost it thanks to Ric Flair! Yokozuna returned! Hunter Hearst Helmsley was crowned the 1996 King Of The Ring and Vader became the number one contender! Not to mention the wild brawl that took place between Cactus Jack and Undertaker.

Warrior's team won last night meaning that tonight Ultimate Warrior gets British Bulldog in the ring one on one! This will no doubt be one of the biggest main events in Monday Night Raw history. Can Warrior beat Davey Boy Smith or will Bulldog get the win over the Warrior?

Hunter Hearst Helmsley was crowned the 1996 King Of The Ring, Tonight we'll have the special coronation for Helmsley. Helmsley went through Ahmed Johnson and Rick Martel to win the King Of The Ring last night. You know that Helmsley will be bragging about his huge win.

Shawn Michaels and Jeff Jarrett are also scheduled to show up, Michaels will have alot to celebrate while Jarrett will no doubt be in a bad mood after coming so close to winning the title if Referee Earl Hebner didn't run down to the ring in the end of the match up and told Ric Flair about Jarrett using the title to pin Michaels. What does Jeff Jarrett have to say? What will Michaels say?

Matches for Monday Night Raw

The young Scott Taylor takes on Bob Holly. Taylor has been quite impressive since debuting in the WWF but Holly is one of the top superstars in all of wrestling. This will no doubt be a great match up between two superstars who represent the New WWF Generation.

Yokozuna made his return last night and helped Warrior win. Tonight Yokozuna takes on last year's King Of The Ring........ Mabel! What a great contest this will be.

Sycho Sid has a injured back but he'll have to suck it up, Sid goes one on one against the bizarre Goldust! Can Goldust beat Sid tonight or will Sid overcome the back injury suffered last night?

The Smoking Gunns defend the WWF Tag Team Championship against Sean Waltman and Steve Austin in a rematch from last night. Can the Smoking Gunns beat Austin and Waltman one more time? Or will we have new tag team champions?

And in the main event we'll see British Bulldog go up against the Ultimate Warrior!

Plus Shawn Michaels, Jeff Jarrett, Ric Flair, Hunter Hearst Helmsley and much more!

*both Cactus Jack and Undertaker have been given the night off after their war last night.*

AntPaulseno · October 25, 2004

Great KOTR Hewey, i did ok with my predictions.

It should be interesting to see a Raw without Undertaker and Cactus Jack on it. You should do ok though.

Hailtothechimp · October 25, 2004

man, my predictions sucked this go around. But I did get the king of the ring all right so im happy . Great PPV, im liking how HHH gets the King of the Ring... even though it would have happened a year later and Vader vs. HBK might not be great idea, although I could be wrong. anywayz Raw looks promising and I cant wait to see Bulldog/Warrior. Keep up teh good work

Announcers: Jim Ross and Vince McMahon

Monday Night Raw opens up with it's regular video package and then we're taken inside the arena where pyro shoots off. We're taken to the announce position where Jim Ross and Vince McMahon are standing by. They hype up tonight's main event of British Bulldog facing Ultimate Warrior!

Woooooooooooo!

We kick things off with the music of Shawn Michaels hitting the arena to a huge ovation as the World Wrestling Federation Champion makes his way down to the ring. Ross and McMahon talk about match from last night and how Michaels came close to losing the title. Michaels poses inside the ring while pyro goes off behind the "Heart Break Kid". Michaels is handed a microphone and the crowd starts chanting "HBK".

Shawn Michaels- I stand here before all my fans and the entire Kliq still the man in this business. I am still the World Wrestling Federation Champion. I almost lost the title thanks to Ric Flair making a mistake. I thank God that Earl Hebner came down from the back and showed Flair the footage of Jeff Jarrett using the title on me. Because if it hadn't been for Earl, HBK would have been screwed out of the World Wrestling Federation Championship last night. So Earl on behalf of the Kliq and myself, We thank you. And Ric Flair, You did do a good job until you screwed up. And if I had lost the title then I would have had no choice but to super kick you right across the face. Your mistake almost cost me the WWF Championship. Hell you couldn't even keep Rick Rude out of the match! I wonder if someone paid you a little something extra to keep your back turned when Rude got involved. Maybe you are a crooked Commissioner. Maybe not. As long as you stay out of my way then it's fine. I don't like you Flair. I do respect you and everything you've done but I never cared for you. I think you might be a bit bitter because last time you were here you were the man. Well it's three years later and now the "Heart Break Kid" is the man. And many people have said that Shawn Michaels is better than Ric Flair ever was. And I think that might make you just a bit angry. Maybe you came back to the World Wrestling Federation to be in the spotlight again? And it didn't work because no one is paying attention to you Flair. They're all paying attention to the WWF Champion. And Ric Flair has always been in the spotlight, But not anymore! The "Heart Break Kid" is in the spotlight and I'll continue to be the top man in the WWF for a very long time!

Michaels is about to talk some more but he's interrupted by the music of Commissioner Ric Flair. The fans go wild as the Commissioner makes his way down to the ring not looking too happy at the comments the champion made. Flair gets inside the ring and faces Michaels.

Ric Flair- Maybe Ric Flair came back to the World Wrestling Federation to be in the spotlight again? Shawn Michaels don't you know that Ric Flair has always been in the spotlight....... Wooooooooooo! You think I was paid off by Rick Rude and Jeff Jarrett? You think that the Commissioner of the WWF can be bought? I don't need Rick Rude's money. Last night I went after him when he tried to interfere. It's not my fault you got distracted and got nailed by Jarrett. And you're right, Jarrett was going to be awarded the WWF Championship if Earl Hebner didn't come down to the ring. And you now think I'm jealous of you? How many times have you held that World title? Once? I've been World champion fifteen times! I'm Ric Flair, I don't get jealous of nobody! I do think that you're the best in the business. But that's because the "Nature Boy" ain't wrestling. Because Shawn Michaels if we were to wrestle, I would mop the floor with you "Heart Break Kid" wooooooooooo! But last night's match was full of controversy. And there will be a rematch this Friday night. You and Jarrett one more time! And the winner will be the World Wrestling Federation Champion! And just to make it fair, I will be naming a special stipulation later on tonight!

Shawn Michaels- I hope you don't name yourself the special guest referee for this Friday night then, Because we all know how well you do as a referee.

Ric Flair- Oh no Shawn, Don't worry about me being the referee. This Friday night one of you will have to climb your way to the top of the World Wrestling Federation. Wooooooooo!

Flair's music plays and the Commissioner leaves the ring. Flair heads to the back while Michaels stays inside the ring. McMahon and Ross wonder what the special stipulation will be.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Scott Taylor Vs. Bob Holly

Bob Holly seems to be improving as Scott Taylor didn't have to do a carry job here. McMahon and Ross chose to talk about Flair's stipulation for Friday Night Mayhem and the King Of The Ring instead of the match. Holly started off doing pretty well for himself. Holly got a couple near falls on Taylor and send the cocky young man out to the floor with a clothesline. Holly went out after Taylor and rammed Taylor's head right into the steel steps! Holly rolled Taylor back into the ring and got a few more near falls on Taylor. Holly went for a suplex but Taylor countered and hit Holly with a big DDT. Taylor used a few high risk moves on Holly but couldn't put away the tough man from Alabama. Taylor ended up going up top for a big splash but Holly moved out of the way and Taylor hit the canvas! Holly made his comeback and put Taylor down with several stiff clotheslines. Holly hit Taylor with the Race Car Slam but Taylor had his feet on the ropes. Holly put Taylor up on the top turnbuckle and went up top with Taylor. Holly tried a superplex but Taylor blocked it and shoved Holly down to the canvas. Taylor then came off the top with his Flying DDT to Holly! Taylor covered and easily got the 1,2,3! Afterwards, Scott Taylor posed and the crowd booed the young man.

Interview with Vader and James E. Cornette

We cut to the back where we see Vader and his manager James E. Cornette standing by.

James E. Cornette- Last night the whole world as stunned! Last night the whole world was proved wrong! Everyone thought that Sid would run right over Vader and beat Vader to become the number one contender for the World Wrestling Federation Championship. Well everyone was proved wrong! Last night everyone saw Vader beat Sid to be crowned the number one contender. It's official! It'll be Vader against Shawn Michaels for the World Wrestling Federation Championship at SummerSlam! Live from Cleveland, Ohio on August 25th! That's the night where this man will be crowned the WWF Champion. It'll be the night where everyone knows that Vader is truly a monster that cannot be stopped! Look at the names Vader has beaten. Yokozuna, Bret Hart and Sid. Two of them are former WWF Champions! Now it's time for Shawn Michaels' name to be added to the list. It's time for Shawn Michaels and the Kliq to be added to the list. Shawn Michaels whether it's you or Jeff Jarrett doesn't matter to Vader. He'll run right over the both of you! He's not afraid of either of you two! But Michaels if it's you, We're laying down the challenge right now. For In Your House "Canadian Invasion" on July 21st. You bring on two partners and face Vader, British Bulldog and Owen Hart! We don't have to wait until SummerSlam! First it'll be Canadian Invasion and then come SummerSlam the title will be going around this man's waist. Because the WWF will truly know that Vader is here and that it's

Vader- Vader time!

Vader lost overness from this segment.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Yokozuna Vs. Mabel

Yokozuna is a bit slimmer here. Good for him since he was getting pretty out of shape since 1995. Lets hope he stays away from the pizzas backstage. This one wasn't too bad considering that it involved Mabel and Yokozuna. It was decent but both men move so slowly......... Mabel and Yokozuna went right after each other, Hitting each other with heavy blows so to speak. Mabel backed Yokozuna into the corner and just pounded the former two time World Wrestling Federation Champion. Mabel was even able to take Yokozuna off his feet with a huge clothesline! Mabel slowly beat Yokozuna down and hit the Big Splash to Yokozuna! Mabel hooked the legs but Yokozuna kicked out! Yokozuna then made the comeback and hit Mabel with several oriental chops. Yokozuna sent Mabel to the corner and avalanched the 1995 King Of The Ring. Yokozuna then hit a big time belly to belly suplex on Mabel! Yokozuna dragged Mabel to the corner and hit the Bonzai Drop to Mabel! Yokozuna covered and got the win! Afterwards, Yokozuna posed while McMahon shouted that Yokozuna is back!

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Sycho Sid Vs. Goldust with Marlena

Sid actually sold the back injury suffered last night as a result of Powerbombing Vader. Jim Ross and Vince McMahon questioned whether or not Sid was too smart for getting in the ring after injuring his back last night at the King Of The Ring. Goldust attacked Sid early on like a shark smelling blood in the water. Goldust pounded on Sid's back giving Sid a real hard time. Goldust and Sid ended out on the floor and Goldust sent Sid to the steel ring post multiple times! They went back into the ring and Goldust put Sid down with a big back suplex. Goldust locked Sid into a camel clutch for a long time but Sid wouldn't give it up. Goldust broke the hold and went back to work on Sid's back. Goldust ended up going for the Curtain Call but Sid kicked out of it! Sid then ran down Goldust with several clotheslines! Sid was able to Choke Slam Goldust! Sid lifted Goldust up and tried the Powerbomb but he couldn't lift Goldust up. So Sid planted Goldust with another huge Choke Slam! Sid hooked the legs and got the 1,2,3! Afterwards, Sid posed for a bit still selling the back injury. Ross wondered how Sid could even walk after suffering a back injury so serious at the hands of Vader last night.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

The 1996 King Of The Ring

Monday Night Raw returns from the break with Vince McMahon standing in the ring holding a microphone. There's a cape and scepter inside the ring on a table with the King Of The Ring crown. There's also a big trophy that says "1996 King Of The Ring" and at the bottom there's a small nameplate with Hunter Hearst Helmsley's name on it.

Vince McMahon- Last night it was the annual King Of The Ring Tournament. It was down to four men and one of them would be crowned the 1996 King Of The Ring. In the end it was Hunter Hearst Helmsley winning the tournament. Hunter Hearst Helmsley not only beat Ahmed Johnson but he beat Rick Martel all in one night to be crowned the 1996 King Of The Ring. Tonight will be the official coronation for this young talented athlete. So without further adieu, The 1996 King Of The Ring......... Hunter Hearst Helmsley!

The crowd starts booing, Helmsley's music plays and out comes Helmsley with a big smile on his face. Jim Ross says he doesn't like the son of a gun but Helmsley won fair and square last night. Helmsley gets inside the ring and does his pose. McMahon prepares to talk again.

Vince McMahon- Hunter Hearst Helmsley last night you proved what being a superstar of the New Generation is all about. You overcame Ahmed Johnson and Rick Martel in one night. With no help or anything, You were able to win the King Of The Ring. And because you won the Tournament, You will face the World Wrestling Federation Champion next week on Monday Night Raw! How do you feel after those two brutal matches last night?

Hunter Hearst Helmsley- How do I feel? What are you? A moron? Last night I became the fourth King Of The Ring in World Wrestling Federation history. I joined the elite names of the World Wrestling Federation. I have done what I said I was going to do. Last night I not only went through Ahmed Johnson but I went through Rick Martel as well. I dominated both those men and became the 1996 King Of The Ring award winner. I am the best young talent that the WWF has to offer. I'm what the New Generation is all about! Hunter Hearst Helmsley has arrived. I'm in the spotlight now. No one believed that I could do it. Well one person did and that was me! Rick Martel was proved wrong! Ahmed Johnson was proved wrong! And so were all of these fans. These fans thought that Ahmed Johnson would run right over me, Or if it wasn't Johnson then it certainly would be Rick Martel. But in the end both men felt the Pedigree. I am the King Of The Ring and I'm going right to the top of the World Wrestling Federation! There's nothing anyone could do about it! I call the shots from now on!

Vince McMahon- After two grueling matches with opponents the caliber of Ahmed Johnson and Rick Martel there has to be some sort of respect earned for both men. How much do you respect both those men?

Hunter Hearst Helmsley- Respect? You think I respect those morons? Ahmed Johnson is nothing but a street punk! He should get back to the "hood" and stay out of a WWF ring. He proved that he's nothing. I beat him in less than ten minutes. I didn't even break a sweat! I showed everyone that he's not a wrestler! He's a street fighter! All he can do is fight. He can't wrestle. I outsmarted him and came out on top. Ahmed Johnson is nothing to me! Ahmed Johnson is a joke! All the people who like that moron are a bunch of idiots!

Vince McMahon- What about Rick Martel? Surely you have to respect his comeback to the ring. He gave you one heck of a fight! He even kicked out of the Pedigree!

Hunter Hearst Helmsley- So he kicked out of the Pedigree. Big deal! I beat him didn't I? He's not here tonight is he? No he's not! And I'll tell you why, He knows that he can't beat me on his best day! I was meant to be the 1996 King Of The Ring! Martel should take his curtain call and leave the World Wrestling Federation. Rick Martel knows he's not in my league. Sure he had some fight in him but in the end I came out on top. Like I always do. Now Vince if you don't mind, Present me as the King Of The Ring!

Vince McMahon- Excuse me?

Hunter Hearst Helmsley- Put the cape around me! Come on do it! Treat me like a King Of The Ring should be treated!

Vince grabs the cape and puts it on Helmsley. Helmsley motions for the scepter and Vince hands him it.

Vince McMahon- Well there you go....... The King Of The Ring............

Hunter Hearst Helmsley- We're not done! Crown me! Put the crown on my head! Come on Vince! I don't got all day!

McMahon takes the crown and puts it on Hunter Hearst Helmsley's head.

Vince McMahon- Anything else Mr. Helmsley?

Hunter Hearst Helmsley- Hang on! I will now be known as "King" Helmsley! You shall call me "King" Helmsley! And now you can ask the question again!

Vince McMahon- Anything else "King" Helmsley?

Hunter Hearst Helmsley- Get me my trophy McMahon! Hurry up! You couldn't be one of my assistants. Look at how slow you work!

McMahon takes the trophy and hands it to Helmsley. Helmsley raises the trophy high in the air and the fans start booing the King Of The Ring.

Vince McMahon- Anything else "King" Helmsley?

Hunter Hearst Helmsley- No I don't need you for anything else, And to every other Superstar in the World Wrestling Federation. I say this, I am the King Of The Ring and I'm sending notice to each and everyone of you! Shawn Michaels or Jeff Jarrett it'll be you and I next week for the WWF Championship. And on that night I will be crowned the new champion. It's my time! I am the 1996 King Of The Ring and I will be the new World Wrestling Federation Champion next week!

Vince McMahon- Ladies and gentlemen "King" Helmsley!

Helmsley's music plays and now the crowd gives Hunter Hearst Helmsley some big heat. Helmsley heads to the back wearing his cape with the crown on his head, He carries the scepter and big trophy with him as Monday Night Raw goes to a commercial break.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Bret "The Hitman" Hart is back and someone is not happy about it!

Monday Night Raw returns from the commercial break and the music of Bret "The Hitman" Hart plays to a huge ovation from the crowd! The crowd goes nuts as "The Hitman" makes his way down to the ring in street clothing. McMahon and Ross say that we haven't seen Hart since the last In Your House when he lost to Vader. Hart asks for a microphone and the crowd begins a huge "Bret" chant.

Bret Hart- Thank you for that great response. I know everyone has been wondering where I've been as of late. Well I been in my home in Calgary. See last month I wrestled Vader and he beat me. That wasn't the problem though, After the match he gave me two Vader Bombs. My ribs were hurt and the World Wrestling Federation told me to rest. So I did. But now I'm back. I seen what's been going on since I took my month off. Guys like Cactus Jack, Jeff Jarrett and Rick Rude are doing what they please. And Shawn Michaels is still the World Wrestling Federation Champion. Now it's time for me to go back to the title picture. It's time for "The Hitman" to get his title shot against Shawn Michaels. I'm back and I'm not going anywhere. So Shawn Michaels I want the next title match. I know you got Jeff Jarrett, Vader and Hunter Hearst Helmsley going after you but I'm a former champion. And I haven't forgotten about Wrestlemania XII either Shawn. You beat me for the title and I want my rematch. I don't care who I have to beat to become the number one contender again. I'm back and I'm going to become the World Wrestling Federation Champion for a fourth time. I know everyone likes Shawn Michaels but I don't really care what I have to do to get in the ring with him one more time. Shawn Michaels it's time that the title left your Kliq and went back to the waist of "The Hitman". The fans want the title back around my waist, And around my waist is where the title will be! Shawn Michaels you will once again know why I am the best there is, The best there was and the best that there ever will.............

Bret Hart can't finish his sentence as he's interrupted by the music of Jeff Jarrett. The crowd boos as Jeff Jarrett and his manager Rick Rude stand on the RAW entrance way.

Rick Rude- Hold it right there "Hitman"! You want the next title shot? And you say that Shawn Michaels is going to be the man you're going to beat for the title? I don't know what you're on but Bret Hart it won't be Shawn Michaels you'll be wrestling for the WWF Championship. It'll be this man right here! Jeff Jarrett! The man who beat Shawn Michaels last night! Jeff Jarrett would have walked out of the King Of The Ring with the WWF Championship if it hadn't been for Earl Hebner! But this Friday night everything will change. See this Friday night we're going to see Jeff Jarrett beat Shawn Michaels to be crowned the new World Wrestling Federation Champion. And I know Commissioner Ric Flair will pick a special stipulation that suits Jeff Jarrett. This Friday night Jeff Jarrett will stand as the new WWF Champion. It should have happened last night. But we can wait until Friday night. Shawn Michaels enjoy your final days with the title. Because it's coming to Jeff Jarrett! And "Hitman" when you and Jarrett go face to face, He will injure you alot worse than Vader could ever injure you!

Jeff Jarrett- Bret Hart I am glad to see you back, You want to know why? Because I have never beaten you before. We've been in the ring in the past and you're always sneaked a win. But when the time comes everyone will see me standing over you. This Friday night I hope you watches what happens to Shawn Michaels. I hope you see me standing over his body with the World Wrestling Federation Championship around my waist. It's time for the Jeff Jarrett era to begin. At King Of The Ring I pinned Shawn Michaels down one, two, three. I should be the champion right now! But no worries because this Friday night it'll finally happen. Shawn Michaels and I will be in that ring and I'll be the new World Wrestling Federation Champion. Bret Hart I want you to be the first person I defend the title against. I want to show all these people that you're not a hero. I've beaten Undertaker and I'll beat you and Shawn Michaels. I'm going to be the first man in the WWF to beat all three of you. My name will be recognized as the greatest WWF Champion of all time!

Bret Hart- Jeff Jarrett you'll never be recognized as the greatest champion of all time, You need Rick Rude to do your dirty work for you. You can't win a match by yourself. And you'll never beat me. It won't matter if you got Rick Rude in your corner or not. When the time comes for us to step into this ring, You will find out why I am the excellence of execution. And you will find out when you're tapping out to the Sharpshooter why I am the best there is, The best there was, And the best that there ever will be! I wish you and Shawn Michaels the best of luck on Friday Night Mayhem, I'm making myself the challenger for the both of you!

Bret Hart's music plays as Rude holds back Jeff Jarrett from coming into the ring. Hart poses while the fans chant "Bret".

British Bulldog is going to take the Warrior out once and for all!

We cut to the back where we see Dok Hendrix standing by with British Bulldog and his manager James E. Cornette.

Dok Hendrix- British Bulldog last night it was you and your manager James E. Cornette facing Ultimate Warrior and his mystery partner Yokozuna who returned to the WWF after being out of action for several months. And your team lost which means tonight you'll be facing Ultimate Warrior in singles action! Your thoughts?

James E. Cornette- Last night wasn't a fair fight! First of all Yokozuna was in the ring with us! We weren't given notice about Yokozuna! So there was no way to prepare for this match! And second of all, I'm not a wrestler! I should have never been put in the ring with Ultimate Warrior and Yokozuna! This isn't fair!

Dok Hendrix- Fair or not it will be British Bulldog against Ultimate Warrior. And James E. Cornette you challenged Shawn Michaels for In Your House "Canadian Invasion" for a big six men tag team match up. Do you think Ultimate Warrior will be one of Shawn Michaels' partner?

James E. Cornette- It doesn't matter on whether Warrior is one of Michaels' partner. I hope Warrior is one of the men Shawn Michaels picks as his tag team partner! I know there's nothing more that Camp Cornette wants then to beat both Shawn Michaels and Ultimate Warrior down! Tonight Warrior it'll be you and Davey Boy Smith. I hope you know what you're in for. Camp Cornette always has a plan! Just remember that Warrior! And Michaels I hope you watch this one as well!

British Bulldog- Warrior you wanted me in the ring? Well now you got me in the ring! It's just you and I tonight! Lets see how badly you'll want me after this match! Last night you had to bring that idiot Yokozuna to help you beat me. But tonight it's just us. Are you man enough to beat me by yourself? Tonight I'm going to prove to you that my bite is worse than my bark! Tonight you and your little Warriors will know why I'm the best that the World Wrestling Federation has to offer! Tonight I'm going to end all these games by beating you in the middle of the ring one, two, three! It's as simple as that Warrior!

Dok Hendrix- Fans don't go away because up next it's ultimate Warrior against British Bulldog! This is one of the biggest main events in Monday Night Raw history! Who will win it? Find out when Monday Night Raw returns from the commercial break!

COMMERCIAL BREAK

WWF Slam Of The Week- Hunter Hearst Helmsley beats Rick Martel with two Pedigrees to become the 1996 King Of The Ring! (King Of The Ring 6/23/96)

Ultimate Warrior Vs. British Bulldog

Good God this one was a horrible match! But the crowd was into it though. Before the match even started, The referee told James E. Cornette that he was barred from ringside! Bulldog and Warrior started off with a dramatic lock up which was won by Warrior. They locked up again and Warrior once again overpowered Bulldog. They went for another lock up but Bulldog kicked Warrior right in the gut! Both men slugged it out and Warrior clotheslined Bulldog out to the floor. Out on the floor, Warrior sent Bulldog into the steel ring post! Warrior went to hit Bulldog with a chair but the referee took it from Warrior which allowed Bulldog to send Warrior to the steel steps! Bulldog took the top part of the steps and hit Warrior over the back with it! Bulldog then proceeded to slam Warrior on the outside! Bulldog controlled the rest of this match keeping Warrior in a big chinlock. Warrior was able to power out but he walked right into Davey Boy's Running Powerslam! Bulldog covered but Warrior kicked out at 2! Bulldog hit Warrior with right hands but they had no affect on Warrior! Warrior started nailing Bulldog with huge right hands! Warrior ran down Bulldog with multiple clotheslines! Warrior ran right over Bulldog with the shoulder tackle! Warrior called for the Warrior Press Slam! Warrior lifted Bulldog up and dropped Bulldog back down with the Warrior Press Slam! Warrior then came off the ropes and hit the Warrior Splash to Bulldog! Warrior rolled Bulldog over and got the 1,2,3! Afterwards, Warrior was celebrating his win and out came Owen Hart from the back! Owen tried to jump Warrior but Warrior ran Owen down with a clothesline! Warrior went after Owen but Owen and Bulldog quickly fled to the back. McMahon wondered whether or not Warrior would be one of Shawn Michaels' partner for In Your House "Canadian Invasion".

Ric Flair announces the stipulation for the main event for Friday Night Mayhem!

Our cameras cut to the back where we see Commissioner Ric Flair standing by working on some paperwork. Flair looks up at the camera and begins to talk.

Ric Flair- Earlier in the evening I told Shawn Michaels that I had a special stipulation for Friday Night Mayhem. And I do. The match will be him and Jeff Jarrett one on one for the WWF Championship. Well what's the big stipulation you ask? See you can't have Rick Rude running around. So this match won't be having Rick Rude at ringside! Because Rick Rude is banned from ringside during Friday Night Mayhem! And now for the match itself, I want something over the top. Something big for these two huge superstars. So that's why on Friday Night Mayhem it'll be Shawn Michaels defending the World Wrestling Federation Championship against Jeff Jarrett in a Cage Match! A fifteen foot high steel cage! The only way to win is to escape the cage! Woooooooo! Thank you and have a good night!

Monday Night Raw goes off the air with the announcers going nuts over the announcement made by Ric Flair. Michaels/Jarrett in a steel cage this Friday night!
