World Wrestling Entertainment: RAW 25/11/02!

- 21:00-21:04[/color] - Introduction: Many television monitors are shown, highlighting the WWE logo as it flashes to show different television shows that WWE have broadcast over the years before cutting to show the WWE logo again. A recap from last night's Survivor Series airs, reminding us of happenings in last week's edition of RAW, as the new World Heavyweight Champion, Shawn Michaels was sitting an interview with RAW general manager, Eric Bischoff only to be attacked by Kane, as Kane stood tall whilst RAW went off the air last week.

- 21:04-21:04[/color] - Pyrotechnics and Up the Ramp: We cut to the live arena, as pyrotechnics go off and the crowd go insane for the beginning of this live edition of WWE Monday Night RAW! Jim Ross and Jerry "King" Lawler are sat at the top of the ramp on a platform as they introduce us to RAW and recap us to last week's edition of Monday Night RAW, as the new World Heavyweight Champion, Shawn Michaels was attacked by Kane.

- 21:04-21:13[/color] - In The Ring: "I'm Back" played throughout the arena as the crowd booed loudly, as the general manager of climbing into the ring, a microphone in hand. Bischoff welcomed everybody to Monday Night RAW, featuring stars from the number one brand in World Wrestling Entertainment. Bischoff told us that tonight, he had something spectacular planned, as tonight it will be Kane taking on Rob Van Dam in the main event, also, "Big Poppa Pump" Scott Steiner unfortunately declined his offer to appear tonight, but he will next week! And also, Jeff Hardy will take on not one...not two...but all THREE of Three Minute Warning! The crowd hissed as he laughed, saying that this would be up next! The theme of Jeff Hardy then played into the arena as the crowd popped, Hardy walking out, a microphone in hand as he asks Bischoff why the hell he is doing this to him. Bischoff dates us back to last Monday night, where Jeff verbally insulted his boss, Eric and as a result, Jeff had to be punished. Jeff then continues to talk about why Shawn Michaels was set up last week, after what he's been through in the last four years. Bischoff burns Jeff by saying that Hardy's jealous because Jeff is a Shawn Michaels wannabe, then saying that somebody needs to face HBK for the World Heavyweight Championship, and why not Kane. Jeff then responds by saying that if this is the case, then he's just going to have to try and get to Kane and weaken him, if Bischoff wants to play hardball! Bischoff threatens to punish Jeff more if he needs to, threatening to make his situation with Three Minute Warning worse! Jeff smirks, leaving.

- 21:13-21:14[/color] - Parking Lot: We cut to the backstage hallway as Chris Jericho and Christian were arriving at the arena with the World Tag Team Championships, and it was announced by Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler that they'd be defending those titles against Booker T and Goldust tonight!

- 21:14-21:17[/color] - Commercial Break #1

- 21:17-21:23[/color] - Match #1: Test with Stacy Keibler defeated Steven Richards with Victoria This was a mildly entertaining way to start off this edition of Monday Night RAW in the ring, as Test took on Stevie Richards, in a match where these two meshed ring styles and it didn't work out too dandy. Steven Richards tried to go after Test like he was a midget, just rushing at the larger Test and delivering numerous blows, though not too many of them damaged Test, as the larger man easily threw Richards around, though Stevie got in a few cheap shots, low-blowing Test whilst his bizarre girlfriend, Victoria distracted the referee, and Richards even hit the Steven Kick, but Test still kicked out! Test eventually caught Richards going for a crossbody from the top and turned it into a pumphandle slam for the win! **[/color]

- 21:23-21:25[/color] - After the Match: Test begins to celebrate his victory over Steven Richards, as Stacy Keibler climbs onto the apron but at that moment, Dave Batista wandered out to the ringside area with Ric Flair, as Batista grabbed Keibler and kidnapped her! Batista took Keibler up the rampway over his shoulder as Test chased Batista up the rampway, only to trade blows going through Ric Flair!

- 21:25-21:26[/color] - Interview: We cut to the RAW interview area as Jonathan Coachman was standing by with Jeff Hardy, as Hardy is asked by The Coach as to why Jeff is so rebellious and flamboyent to Eric Bischoff's orders. Jeff says to Coach that Bischoff has done nothing but disrespected a well-respected legend by the likes of Shawn Michaels, even though Shawn has returned from back injury; two back injuries and won the World Heavyweight Championship. Howard Finkel then interrupted, informing Jeff that his three-on-one handicap match with Three Minute Warning is up next! Jeff tells Coach he'll talk later!

- 21:26-21:27[/color] - Advertisement: An advertisement airs, hyping up the next WWE pay-per-view spectacular, WWE Armageddon, live on pay-per-view on Sunday 15th December, 2002 from Fort Lauderdale, Florida!

- 21:27-21:31[/color] - Commercial Break #2

- 21:31-21:36[/color] - Match #2: Three Minute Warning defeated Jeff Hardy in a handicap match This was pretty much all three members of Three Minute Warning ganging up on Jeff Hardy with Hardy repeatedly trying to overcome the odds and succeeding only half of the time. Jeff and Rico started things off, just like last week's encounter between the two, as Jeff managed to scare Rico into tagging Jamal. Jeff would try to take down Jamal, but Jamal wouldn't have any of it, as he delivered a hard clothesline to Hardy! Jamal would soon tag in Rosey, as he made matters worse by splashing from the top rope, possibly crushing the ribs of Jeff! This killed all future chances of Jeff winning, as Three Minute Warning played catch with Hardy, Jamal tossing Jeff's carcuss at Rosey, into a Samoan Drop for the win! **1/4[/color]

- 21:36-21:38[/color] - After the Match: Three Minute Warning begin to celebrate their victory over Jeff Hardy's unconscious body, as Rico laughs and slaps Jeff across the face to a cheap chorus of boos. Rosey and Jamal just stand around their fists raised high before The Dudley Boyz arrived! D-Von and Bubba Ray were joined by Spike as the trio entered the ring and traded blows with Three Minute Warning! The Dudley Boyz would sweep the floor with Rosey, Jamal and Rico, causing them to flee the ring!

- 21:38-21:39[/color] - Hallway: We go to Booker T as he is standing around in the hallway, waiting for his partner. He seems excited and motivated for his upcoming World Tag Team Championships opportunity, as Booker was waiting to kick Chris Jericho and Christian's asses. Goldust then wandered out, his back to the camera, as Booker turned him around to show Goldust wearing his facepaint...but in the colors of the Canadian Maple Leaf flag! Booker asked what Goldust was doing, Goldust saying that he was following Booker's orders and 'getting inside Jericho and Christian's heads', as Booker tells Goldust to wash it off and redo it as he normally does. The crowd laughed.

- 21:39-21:41[/color] - Classroom: We hear the theme of Christopher Nowinski play, as the camera pans from a mug, to show Christopher Nowinski reading a Harry Potter book and criticising it for its literature. Nowinski notices the camera and says hello, talking about how he graduated from Harvard and he wants to educate the audience. He also says that he wants to educate one Al Snow, whom failed last week, and as a result, Nowinski has been injured thanks to that hooligan. Nowinski informs us that he will be keeping an eye on Snow in the next few weeks, and he will be back in six weeks.

- 21:41-21:42[/color] - Parking Lot: We cut to the backstage area as Terri is standing by, noticing Shawn Michaels, the World Heavyweight Champion getting a big pop, but Shawn denies an interview with Terri for the viewers at home, storming right on ahead!

- 21:42-21:46[/color] - Commercial Break #3

- 21:46-21:54[/color] - Match #3: Chris Jericho and Christian defeated Booker T and Goldust to retain the World Tag Team Championships This was a great first-hour main event, here on RAW as it featured the two talented Canadian World Tag Team Champions defend their title gold against Booker T and Goldust, the odd couple here on RAW. Goldust and Christian started things off, as Goldust would get in quite a lot of quick shots and he could of sneakily got the titles won early in the bout, rolling Christian up. Jericho would then get the tag, though, as Y2J took Goldust's legs from beneath him and worked away at the knee of Goldust, trying to wear him down for the eventual Walls of Jericho submission hold. Goldust would eventually slip out of the Breakdown move by Y2J and collapse, tagging in Booker in the process! Booker T would then go on a spree of offense over Chris Jericho and Christian, hitting the Scissors Kick on Christian! But that's when Jericho would clothesline Goldust in the leg on the apron, distracting the official! Booker would go to talk to the referee, and that's when Christian came from behind with the Unprettier for the win! ***[/color]

- 21:54-21:56[/color] - After the Match: Chris Jericho and Christian began to celebrate their successful defense by grabbing the World Tag Team Championships and quickly heading up the rampway in victory, Goldust and Booker T left wriving in pain in the ring.

- 21:56-22:00[/color] - Commercial Break #4

- 22:00-22:02[/color] - General Manager's Office: We go to the office of RAW general manager, Eric Bischoff, as Chris Jericho and Christian wander in, fatigued from their World Tag Team Championships defense just moments ago. Bischoff says he is glad Jericho and Christian are enjoying themselves because Eric is going to enjoy himself at Armageddon. He says he has a great idea for the World Tag Team Championships match at the pay-per-view, Jericho and Christian, defending against Booker T and Goldust, Three Minute Warning and the Dudley Boyz in elimination rules! Jericho questions Eric's sanity, Eric just saying it'll be good for ratings. The champions storm off.

- 22:02-22:08[/color] - Match #4: Victoria defeated Jacqueline in a non-title match by disqualification This was actually pretty decent for a match between two women, as Jacqueline showed off her usual stiff showing, in there against the younger, more inexperienced yet twice as crazy WWE Womens Champion, Victoria. Victoria started it off with two bitchslaps to Jacqueline in a staredown before Jacqueline would repeatedly deliver stiff shots to Victoria! Jacqueline applied the STF, she tried anything she could in her power to take Victoria down and work over the body of the WWE Womens Champion. Victoria eventually raked Jacqueline in the eyes using her long fingernails, then following up with her Widow's Peak move! That's when an angered Trish Stratus rushed down the rampway and into the ring, jumping Victoria! **1/4[/color]

- 22:08-22:09[/color] - After the Match: Trish Stratus buries Victoria with left and right forearms, as Victoria repeatedly broke out and fired back with sadistic shots! The two then had to be seperated by referees and officials!

- 22:09-22:10[/color] - Medical Room: We cut to the medical room, as Jeff Hardy was shown sitting on a bench as the trainer, Chris taped Hardy's ribs up, saying they have became extremely brittle and fragile from the splash from Rosey earlier tonight, and he should take it easy for a few weeks. Chris leaves, as Shawn Michaels entered to a big pop, Shawn telling Jeff that he's got his back because Jeff has his. Jeff is barely able to stand as Shawn offers to hand to Jeff, Jeff and Shawn shaking hands.

- 22:10-22:14[/color] - Commercial Break #5

- 22:14-22:22[/color] - Match #5: Lance Storm with William Regal defeated The Hurricane This was a pretty good match here, as Lance Storm and The Hurricane traded athletic moves and submissions here, in what would really be the match of the night in terms of in-ring quality, and the crowd were entertained and all, but just not too much. Storm started off with several kicks to the upper body of Hurricane, but the superhero managed to fly at Storm with a diving crossbody for an extremely near fall, and also when Storm and William Regal stood at ringside, negotiating strategy for the match, Hurricane dove over the top to an outstanding reaction. Hurricane seemed to be setting up for the win, hitting his Hurri-Chokeslam on Storm and preparing to go for the Eye of the Hurricane, but William Regal got on the apron! Regal was then knocked down by Hurricane's super kick before Storm rolled Hurricane up for the win! **3/4[/color]

- 22:22-22:24[/color] - After the Match: Lance Storm and William Regal celebrated their victory over The Hurricane in the ring before Tommy Dreamer came out of nowhere, unleashing an unlimited amount of singapore cane shots to Storm and Regal! The crowd popped loudly for it, as Storm and Regal fled the ring! Dreamer attended to Storm before somebody nailed Dreamer in the cranium with a singapore cane...Val Venis!? Venis stood tall as he joined Storm and Regal on the rampway, arms raised high!

- 22:24-22:25[/color] - Hallway: We go to a hallway as Kane was walking down it, before he sees Eric Bischoff, the general manager of RAW. Kane requested that this match with Rob Van Dam be made no holds barred, just so he can show everybody tonight what he can do, and what he will do in twenty days at Armageddon! Bischoff grins, saying it'll be grand for ratings. Kane continues his walk as Kane and RVD fight next!

- 22:25-22:29[/color] - Commercial Break #6

- 22:29-22:51[/color] - Match #6: Kane defeated Rob Van Dam in a no holds barred match This was a great main event as it featured the 'Big Red Machine' Kane take on 'Mr Monday Night', Rob Van Dam in an extraordinary no holds barred match. Kane started off this match, dominating Rob Van Dam as though RVD was an enhancement talent, but Van Dam kept fighting back, starting with numerous forearms, only to run into a sidewalk slam. Another occurance happened when Kane went to nail Van Dam with the steel steps, but Van Dam kicked the steps onto Kane's face! Van Dam nailed the Rolling Thunder onto a steel chair on top of Kane, he even tried repeatedly hammering Kane with the chair, but nothing seemed to be able to tame the 'Big Red Machine'. Kane fought back with many sidewalk slams, stomping away and delivering numerous uppercuts to 'Mr Monday Night'. RVD would end up busted open as Kane just planted him with a steel chair to the cranium. Kane eventually gave Van Dam the end of offense by finishing it after a Chokeslam, but instead of covering, he put RVD to sleep in a Dragon Sleeper. ***[/color]

- 22:51-22:53[/color] - After the Match: Kane continued his celebration as Kane grabbed Rob Van Dam's carcuss and Chokeslammed him again! Kane set off his pyrotechnics before Shawn Michaels, the World Heavyweight Champion rushed down to the ring, jumping Kane and delivering two Sweet Chin Musics to Kane! Michaels stood tall but Kane scarily sat up! Shawn then nailed Kane in the face with the chair, as HBK stood tall whilst RAW went off the air!
