Commentators: JR & King
JR: Welcome Ladies And Gentlemen again to Monday Night RAW! We have a great show here for you all tonight as we start the show off with Triple H vs. John Morrison.
King: Look at this JR, Triple H is gonna talk before the match starts, it must be important.
Triple H: Now, last week, a superstar said he was going to take some time to recover from an I Quit Match that happened last week and thinks he can get away with it, not on my watch. You see, this guy thinks he is important because he is a former World Heavyweight and ECW Champion, I’ve done 13 Times kid and I’ve had many more grueling matches than you. Some say that this kid is the future of the business, I don’t see it at all. John Morrison, tonight, I teach you a lesson. GAME ON!
TRIPLE H VS. JOHN MORRISON[/u]
The match starts out with Triple H and Morrison in the middle of the ring, nose to nose talking trash. Triple H slaps Morrison across the face and John smiles. He then jumps up and takes down Triple H with a kick to the side of the head. Morrison pulls Triple H up and hits an Uppercut and then hits a Swinging Neckbreaker and goes for the cover only to get a 2 count. Morrison then waited for Triple H to get up and then ran at him and hit him with a Head Scissors (fans start to cheer *Morrison*). Morrison taunts to the crowd for more cheers, but turns around and gets knocked down hard with a Closeline from Triple H.
Triple H then takes Morrison to the corner and starts to chop away at his chest. Triple H then attempts to throw Morrison into the opposite corner, but Morrison counters and Triple H hits into the turnbuckle. Morrison runs at Triple H, but Triple H moves and Morrison crashes hard. John turns around and then is nailed with a Spinebuster from the King of Kings, Triple H taunts to the crowd only to get booed. Triple H goes for the Pedigree but Morrison flipped Triple H over his back and then hit a standing Shooting Star Press for a 2 count only.
Morrison waited for Triple H to get up and attempted a Super Kick, but Triple H ducked and ran at Morrison to hit a High Knee. Triple H then hooked in a Crossface. The fans started to get behind Morrison and Morrison finally got to the ropes. Triple H fought with the ref about the count while Morrison recovered. When Triple H was done arguing with the ref, he got hit by a Springboard Kick by John Morrison. Both men lay exhausted as the fans showed their appreciation. Morrison went for another Super Kick on Triple H but Triple H ducked and attempted a Pedigree once again. Morrison spun out of it and hit the Midnight Drive for the win.
WINNER: JOHN MORRISON[/u]
JR: What a match between these two superstars, King.
King: That was amazing JR, Morrison has proven himself to Triple H that he deserves to be in the race for the WWE Title.
JR: Oh that kid has a lot of talent King, and could be the very well future of the business, on that note let’s send it back to Todd Grisham with an interview with Batista.
Grisham: Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome at this time the man who will be facing Rey Mysterio at Night of Champions for the WWE Title, Batista (fans start to cheer because Batista appeared on the titantron). So Batista, how do you feel about your’s and Mysterio’s relationship after last week’s tag team victory over Triple H and Carlito?
Batista: It’s the same as it was last week, we are still friends, but were also enemies. As long as that WWE Title is between me and Mysterio, friendships are put aside.
Grisham: Well coming up next you face off against Shawn Michaels, a man that Rey Mysterio has hand picked for you to face tonight, what are your thoughts?
Batista: Well Shawn is a tough guy everyone knows that, but tonight, I’m gonna give “The Heart Break Kid” a run for his money.
Grisham: Also, who is Rey Mysterio’s opponent for later tonight?
Batista: Now do you think people would stay tuned in if I just told you this answer? Come on Todd, that’s something ECW would do, hahahaha!
King: Haha, eat that you ECW Commentator!
JR: Oh lord, you’ll do anything for attention, well anyways, coming up next it’s Shawn Michaels vs. Batista
(Commercial)
We come back to RAW and see Triple H taking off his pads after a loss to John Morrison as Jeff Hardy walks into his locker room.
Hardy: Tough loss, king?
Triple H: Get the hell out of here Jeff before I put you out.
Hardy: You know, you said something like that last week and then this week, you lose. Should I believe you?
Triple H: I’ll tell you one more time, get out of my locker room.
Hardy: Ok, ok, but let me tell you this. Tonight, I’ll do something you didn’t do and that’s win (fans start to cheer *Hardy*).
“THE HEARTBREAK KID” SHAWN MICAHELS VS. BATISTA[/u]
The match started with a Lock Up in the middle of the ring and Michaels got a Head Lock on Batista. Batista used his power to throw Michaels off the ropes and as Michaels came running back at Batista, Batista nailed a stiff Shoulder Block on Shawn. Batista then lifter Michaels up and hit him a few times until Michaels backed up into the corner. Batista hit a few Should Thrusts on “The Heart Break Kid” and then went for a Big Back Body Drop, Michaels countered it into a pinning maneuver only to get a 2 count.
Michaels then ran at Batista, but Batista caught Shawn and went for a Spinebuster, but Michaels countered it into a DDT. Michaels then locked in the Sharpshooter in the middle of the ring. Batista came close to tapping a few times (fans start to chant *Batista*) and finally he got to the rope. Then Michaels brought back Batista in the middle of the ring and hooked it in again.
With Batista close to tapping out again, he found a way to get to the ropes one more time. Michaels then started to tune up the band and while Shawn was taunting with the fans, The Animal got up. HBK turned around to get hit with a Spear from Batista. Both men were down and the crowd was going crazy (chants of *Batista* and *HBK* echoed throughout the arena). Both men got up and started going back and for with hits and finally Batista got the better half of it. He then threw Michaels across the ring and caught him and hit the Spinebuster. Batista then taunted to the crowd and went thumbs up, thumbs down.
Batista went back over to HBK and lifter him for the Batista Bomb, but Shawn reversed it and hit Sweet Chin Music but only got a 2 count! Michaels didn’t know what else to do, so he went to the top rope. Michaels went for a Shooting Star Press, but Batista moved at the last second. Batista then lifted Shawn up for a Running Powerslam, but Michaels slid off his back, got him in a roll-up and pulled Batista’s tights for the win.
WINNER: “THE HEARTBREAK KID” SHAWN MICHAELS[/u]
King: Woah, wait. What just happened?!
JR: Michaels stole one from our #1 Contender, King. He used the tights for the cover, I didn’t expect that from Shawn Michaels.
King: Does that mean he’s the new #1 Contender JR?
JR: I don’t know King, I guess we’ll find out later tonight. Look at Batista, he had this match won.
King: Key word there JR “had”. Oh, here comes Bischoff right now, let’s listen to him JR.
Bischoff: Great match Shawn, you did a terrific job. Now, I know what you’re going to ask me. Are you going to be in the WWE Championship Match at Night of Champions with the man you just beat, Batista, and the WWE Champion Rey Mysterio? Well Shawn, I’m sorry to inform you, but the match papers are final and cannot be changed and they have been signed, so, NO! You will not be in the WWE Title Match at Night of Champions.
JR: Oh my, look at the face on Shawn Michaels, I wouldn’t want to cross paths with him tonight.
King: Oh boy, I have a feeling someone’s going to get hurt by that man.
(Commercial)
We come back with an interview with WWE Champion Rey Mysterio on the recap of the Michaels/Batista match.
Grisham: So Rey, I guess you made a good choice here tonight, huh?
Mysterio: Well, I didn’t do it just for the sole reason to see Batista lose, I did it because I care about the fans and what they want to see. So I hope they enjoyed it (fans start to cheer).
Grisham: Well Rey, your match is coming up later tonight, who do you think it’s going to be.
Mysterio: I have a feeling of who it is, but I won’t give any names away. (Rey then smiles and then walks away).
We head back to the locker room where Shawn Michaels and Matt Hardy are.
Hardy: Sorry bout your loss, Shawn.
Michaels: Sorry? SORRY?! What would you do Matt if someone just told you you couldn’t have a WWE Title shot?! Huh?!
Hardy: Well, I……
Michaels: You know what, you’ll never know, you know why Matt?! Cause you’re nothing but a body that lurks around that couldn’t make it big in ECW. ECW, come on Matt, just quit while you’re ahead.
Hardy went to slap Shawn in the face, but Shawn blocked it and hit him right in the face. Shawn continued to hit Matt until Matt was knocked unconscious.
Michaels: Hey Matt. I’m not sorry for that! (after that, Michaels just did the motion to suck it)
Michaels turned around and Triple H was standing right behind him (fans start to boo both of them)
Triple H: Now that’s the Shawn Michaels I know.
JR: Oh my god King! What has come over Shawn Michaels?!
King: I have no idea JR, but you know when those 2 get together, it’s not going to be good when people are in the way.
JR: Well ladies and gentlemen, right now, were gonna have ourselves a Fatal-Four Way Match to see who is going to face Shelton Benjamin for the Intercontinental Title at Night of Champions.
FATAL-FOUR WAY MATCH TO DETERMINE WHO GETS AN INTERCONTINENTAL TITLE MATCH AT NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS
WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPION JEFF HARDY VS. MICK FOLEY VS. KEN KENNEDY VS. CARLITO
(If Jeff Hardy wins, he will have a double match at the pay-per-view going for the Intercontinental Championship and defending the World Tag Team Championship)[/u]
The match started with Carlito talking trash on his 3 opponents, then Jeff Closelined Carlito (fans start to cheer). Hardy then picks up Carlito and Suplex’s him over the top rope. Foley took Kennedy into the corner and started to hit the former World Heavyweight Champion a few times. Foley then ran at Kennedy going for a Closeline, but Kennedy moved and Foley hit the corner hard. Then Kennedy hit Foley with a Back Suplex. Then Hardy came over to help Kennedy by both men hitting a Double Suplex on Mick Foley. After that Kennedy and Hardy met eyes and stared each other down. Carlito was about to get back in the ring when both Kennedy and Hardy Dropkicked him back to the outside.
Hardy and Kennedy Lock Up in the middle of the ring and Kennedy caught Hardy with a knee to the gut. Kennedy then picked up Hardy for a Suplex but Hardy reversed it into a Reverse DDT. Hardy then went over to Mick Foley and hit him with a DDT. Hardy then noticed that Carlito started to get up on the outside, so Jeff ran to that side and flipped over the top rope to take out Carlito once again (fans start to chant *Hardy Hardy Hardy*). Hardy gets back into the ring and puts Foley in the corner. Hardy runs at Mick, but Mick flips Jeff over the top rope, but Jeff landed on the apron. The two men are going back and forth until Foley pokes Jeff in the eye and Suplex’s Jeff back into the ring.
Foley went over to Kennedy. Kennedy tried to hit Foley but Foley blocked it and started hitting Kennedy until he got Kennedy and hit a Brainbuster Suplex, he went for the cover and only got a 2 count. Foley then catapulted his body into the corner and when Kennedy turned around he got hit with the Double-Hook Armed DDT but only got a 2 count since Carlito broke it up. Carlito went to Foley and bashed Foley’s face off his knee. Carlito then went to Hardy and hit a Swinging Neckbreaker. Carlito went for it all and went to the top rope and attempted a Moonsault on Ken Kennedy, but Kennedy moved and then hit Carlito with the Mic Check, but got broken up at the 2 count by Jeff Hardy.
Hardy grabbed Foley and threw him out of the ring and then Kennedy came over to Closeline Hardy, but Jeff ducked and sent Kennedy over the top rope. Hardy then went over to Carlito and hit the Twist of Fate. Hardy noticed that Kennedy was coming back in the ring so he hit the Whisper in the Wind to take him out (the fans are going crazy). Hardy was taunting to the fans, but when Hardy turned around, he got nailed by a Pedigree from Triple H (the fans start to boo). Triple H then lays Carlito on Hardy and Carlito gets the 1, 2, 3.
WINNER: CARLITO[/u]
After the match, Triple H stayed in the ring and then called down someone. It was Shawn Michaels. Michaels came in and hit Sweet Chin Music on Jeff Hardy, Hardy turned around and got hit with another Pedigree. Then Triple H got on the mic.
Triple H: You lied Jeff, you didn’t win tonight, but ultimately I did. You see, you and your brother don’t know how to be a good tag team and how to respect your superiors and that’s why at Night of Champions, The Hardyz will lose the World Tag Team Titles to D-Generation X!!
JR: I can’t believe Triple H and HBK, how could they do such a thing to Jeff Hardy.
King: Easy, Triple H just said it, and I told you JR, someone was going to get hurt tonight, and those people were The Hardyz.
JR: It’s not right King, but at Night of Champions, it’s gonna be one hell of a match.
(Commercial)
We return to see Grisham and General Manager Eric Bischoff talking about Night of Champions.
Grisham: A lot of things happened here tonight Mr. Bischoff, how do you think it’s going?
Bischoff: Oh it’s going great, I mean, we had Triple H/John Morrison, HBK/Batista, and that Fatal-Four Way that just ended a few minutes ago was amazing! I didn’t expect Carlito to win after the beating he took through the match.
Grisham: Yes, now we know it’s going to be Carlito going one on one with Shelton Benjamin for the Intercontinental Championship, but Mr. Bischoff, what about HBK and Triple H? Are you going to give them the title match with The Hardyz?
Bischoff: Well, they did do a wrong thing, but like I say, controversy sells, so yes DX will go for the World Tag Team….
Just then, the door blows open and Jeff Hardy comes in and starts going crazy.
Hardy: DID YOU SEE THAT BISCHOFF?! Did you what just happened out there?! I was screwed out of my Intercontinental Title opportunity thanks to those pieces of trash you call superstars!
Bischoff: Calm down Jeff, I’ll take…..
Hardy: NO! I’m not calming down! They put my brother in the hospital and think they can get away with it?! Bischoff, I don’t care if they’ll be facing my brother and I at Night of Champions, but give me this, next week, right here on RAW, make it Jeff Hardy vs. Triple H in an Extreme Rules Match! (fans start to cheer)
Bischoff: You know what? You got it! Next week, Extreme Rules, Jeff Hardy vs. Triple H.
Hardy: Thank you Mr. Bischoff, you won’t be disappointed.
We now go to see Carlito in the locker room after his match as Mr. Kennedy walks in.
Kennedy: Hey, good match out there Carlito, I didn’t think you could do it.
Carlito: What do you mean, Kennedy? When you and I were partners I carried the team, not you.
Kennedy: Is that so? Well how come I looked like I was in the match fighting and you were in the match doing nothing but getting your ass kicked until DX came down and attacked Hardy? Does that make you amazing?
Carlito: You know what? I’m glad I dropped you Kennedy, now I can go back and get what’s rightfully mine, the Intercontinental Championship, and that, that’s cool.
Kennedy: Yeah, that’s cool for you, but while you do that, I’ll go on and win back the WWE Championship (fans start to cheer). Now that, that’s cool!
JR: Oh man a lot has gone down here tonight folks, two more matches added to Night of Champions and the reuniting of D-Generation X.
King: I like what Triple H and Shawn Michaels are doing JR, they’re not taking anybodies crap and making there own way.
JR: Yeah they’re doing that alright, but in a bad way mind you, but ladies and gentlemen it is time for our mainevent, WWE Champion Rey Mysterio vs. an opponent of Batista’s choosing.
Just then, the music of Intercontinental Champion Shelton Benjamin hit and we had the question of Rey’s opponent answered.
WWE CHAMPION REY MYSTERIO VS. INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION SHELTON BENJAMIN[/u]
The match starts with both champions shaking hands in the middle of the ring. Both men Lock Up then Shelton jumps and hits a Leg Scissors Take Down on Rey. Then Rey ran at Shelton and hit a Hurincanrana on the Intercontinental Champion and went for the cover but only got a 2 count. Then Rey ran at Shelton and hooked his body around Shelton into a Bear Hug/Sleeperhold. Shelton broke the hold by running into the corner and Rey got off. Rey didn’t have enough time to move out of the corner before Shelton came back and hit a hard Dropkick to the WWE Champion.
Shelton then grabbed Rey and hit a Snap Suplex on him. Shelton then Shelton ran across the ring and bounced off the ropes to drop a knee on Mysterio. Shelton went for the cover but only got a 2. Shelton then picked Rey up and went for a Reverse Suplex but Rey reversed it into a Reverse DDT in mid-air. Rey then went on the apron and flung himself back over to hit Shelton with a Flipping Leg Drop. Rey ran across the ring and hit a Senton on The Gold Standard. Rey then went to the rope to attempt a Frog Splash but got caught with a Super Kick from Shelton on the way down.
When both Shelton and Rey got up, Shelton got a German Suplex locked on Rey and hit it and went for the cover, but before the ref could get to 3, Shelton rolled over the pinned down Rey and hit another Suplex and then went for the win, but Rey kicked out before the 3. Shelton went for Pay Dirt, but Rey countered it and hit an Enzugari and Shelton dropped in between the top and middle rope. Rey bounced off the opposite side and hit the 619 on the Intercontinental Champion. Rey then went to springboard off the ropes and pin Shelton, but Shelton hit the Pay Dirt as Rey was coming down, but still Shelton only got a 2! (the crowd goes nuts and starts to chant *619 619 619* ). Shelton then went for the T-Bone Suplex, but Rey reversed it into a cover to win the match.
WINNER: WWE CHAMPION REY MYSTERIO[/u]
JR: What an obviation for these two superstars, what a match!
King: Wow JR, how crazy were those moves in there? I mean Shelton did so many good things in there.
JR: Yes Shelton did, King, but don’t take anything away from our WWE Champion Rey Mysterio, he did some pretty amazing things in there as well. Well Ladies and Gentlemen, thank for……..wait a minute!! Here comes Batista!
Batista: Well done, Rey. Unfortunately for you, that won’t be the story at Night of Champions because I will walk out the WWE Champion after our match.
Mysterio: You know what Batista? I know that you’re a great wrestler and a great guy, and I’m proud to call you one of my close friends, but at Night of Champions, there are no more friendships, it’s all about the WWE Title!
JR: What strong words from both the #1 Contender and the champion.

After the match, Triple H stayed in the ring and then called down someone. It was Shawn Michaels. Michaels came in and hit Sweet Chin Music on Jeff Hardy, Hardy turned around and got hit with another Pedigree. Then Triple H got on the mic.
Triple H: You lied Jeff, you didn’t win tonight, but ultimately I did. You see, you and your brother don’t know how to be a good tag team and how to respect your superiors and that’s why at Night of Champions, The Hardyz will lose the World Tag Team Titles to D-Generation X!!
JR: I can’t believe Triple H and HBK, how could they do such a thing to Jeff Hardy.
King: Easy, Triple H just said it, and I told you JR, someone was going to get hurt tonight, and those people were The Hardyz.
JR: It’s not right King, but at Night of Champions, it’s gonna be one hell of a match.

We return to see Grisham and General Manager Eric Bischoff talking about Night of Champions.
Grisham: A lot of things happened here tonight Mr. Bischoff, how do you think it’s going?
Bischoff: Oh it’s going great, I mean, we had Triple H/John Morrison, HBK/Batista, and that Fatal-Four Way that just ended a few minutes ago was amazing! I didn’t expect Carlito to win after the beating he took through the match.
Grisham: Yes, now we know it’s going to be Carlito going one on one with Shelton Benjamin for the Intercontinental Championship, but Mr. Bischoff, what about HBK and Triple H? Are you going to give them the title match with The Hardyz?
Bischoff: Well, they did do a wrong thing, but like I say, controversy sells, so yes DX will go for the World Tag Team….
Just then, the door blows open and Jeff Hardy comes in and starts going crazy.
Hardy: DID YOU SEE THAT BISCHOFF?! Did you what just happened out there?! I was screwed out of my Intercontinental Title opportunity thanks to those pieces of trash you call superstars!
Bischoff: Calm down Jeff, I’ll take…..
Hardy: NO! I’m not calming down! They put my brother in the hospital and think they can get away with it?! Bischoff, I don’t care if they’ll be facing my brother and I at Night of Champions, but give me this, next week, right here on RAW, make it Jeff Hardy vs. Triple H in an Extreme Rules Match! (fans start to cheer)
Bischoff: You know what? You got it! Next week, Extreme Rules, Jeff Hardy vs. Triple H.
Hardy: Thank you Mr. Bischoff, you won’t be disappointed.
We now go to see Carlito in the locker room after his match as Mr. Kennedy walks in.
Kennedy: Hey, good match out there Carlito, I didn’t think you could do it.
Carlito: What do you mean, Kennedy? When you and I were partners I carried the team, not you.
Kennedy: Is that so? Well how come I looked like I was in the match fighting and you were in the match doing nothing but getting your ass kicked until DX came down and attacked Hardy? Does that make you amazing?
Carlito: You know what? I’m glad I dropped you Kennedy, now I can go back and get what’s rightfully mine, the Intercontinental Championship, and that, that’s cool.
Kennedy: Yeah, that’s cool for you, but while you do that, I’ll go on and win back the WWE Championship (fans start to cheer). Now that, that’s cool!
JR: Oh man a lot has gone down here tonight folks, two more matches added to Night of Champions and the reuniting of D-Generation X.
King: I like what Triple H and Shawn Michaels are doing JR, they’re not taking anybodies crap and making there own way.
JR: Yeah they’re doing that alright, but in a bad way mind you, but ladies and gentlemen it is time for our mainevent, WWE Champion Rey Mysterio vs. an opponent of Batista’s choosing.
Just then, the music of Intercontinental Champion Shelton Benjamin hit and we had the question of Rey’s opponent answered.
WWE CHAMPION REY MYSTERIO VS. INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION SHELTON BENJAMIN[/u]
The match starts with both champions shaking hands in the middle of the ring. Both men Lock Up then Shelton jumps and hits a Leg Scissors Take Down on Rey. Then Rey ran at Shelton and hit a Hurincanrana on the Intercontinental Champion and went for the cover but only got a 2 count. Then Rey ran at Shelton and hooked his body around Shelton into a Bear Hug/Sleeperhold. Shelton broke the hold by running into the corner and Rey got off. Rey didn’t have enough time to move out of the corner before Shelton came back and hit a hard Dropkick to the WWE Champion.
Shelton then grabbed Rey and hit a Snap Suplex on him. Shelton then Shelton ran across the ring and bounced off the ropes to drop a knee on Mysterio. Shelton went for the cover but only got a 2. Shelton then picked Rey up and went for a Reverse Suplex but Rey reversed it into a Reverse DDT in mid-air. Rey then went on the apron and flung himself back over to hit Shelton with a Flipping Leg Drop. Rey ran across the ring and hit a Senton on The Gold Standard. Rey then went to the rope to attempt a Frog Splash but got caught with a Super Kick from Shelton on the way down.
When both Shelton and Rey got up, Shelton got a German Suplex locked on Rey and hit it and went for the cover, but before the ref could get to 3, Shelton rolled over the pinned down Rey and hit another Suplex and then went for the win, but Rey kicked out before the 3. Shelton went for Pay Dirt, but Rey countered it and hit an Enzugari and Shelton dropped in between the top and middle rope. Rey bounced off the opposite side and hit the 619 on the Intercontinental Champion. Rey then went to springboard off the ropes and pin Shelton, but Shelton hit the Pay Dirt as Rey was coming down, but still Shelton only got a 2! (the crowd goes nuts and starts to chant *619 619 619* ). Shelton then went for the T-Bone Suplex, but Rey reversed it into a cover to win the match.
WINNER: WWE CHAMPION REY MYSTERIO[/u]
JR: What an obviation for these two superstars, what a match!
King: Wow JR, how crazy were those moves in there? I mean Shelton did so many good things in there.
JR: Yes Shelton did, King, but don’t take anything away from our WWE Champion Rey Mysterio, he did some pretty amazing things in there as well. Well Ladies and Gentlemen, thank for……..wait a minute!! Here comes Batista!
Batista: Well done, Rey. Unfortunately for you, that won’t be the story at Night of Champions because I will walk out the WWE Champion after our match.
Mysterio: You know what Batista? I know that you’re a great wrestler and a great guy, and I’m proud to call you one of my close friends, but at Night of Champions, there are no more friendships, it’s all about the WWE Title!
JR: What strong words from both the #1 Contender and the champion.
King: I’m so excited for that match JR, it’s like David vs. Goliath.
JR: I can’t wait for Night of Champions and I can’t wait for next week, thanks for joining us here tonight Ladies and Gentlemen, good night.
