-Test going over was good, but not the best of matches to kick off the show but it still should be good. -I like the idea of Angle winning by countout since Austin wasn't at the arena. -3 on 2 tonight should be awesome. Looking forward to that one later tonight. -Edge going over was the better call in my opinion. A fantastic match. -A great main event to end the show. Good hype for the six man tag team match at Survivor Series. -Good show.

Tajiri def. Ron Waterman with the Tarantula
WWF PRESENTS MONDAY NIGHT RAW NOVEMBER 26TH, 2001 [ARENA IN OKLAHOMA CITY, OK]
Before the Monday Night Raw opening airs, we see clips of what occurred on this past week's Smackdown! Not only did Kurt Angle 'defeat' Steve Austin, but he also 'earned' himself a #1 contenders match against The Undertaker! But, in our main event, we saw Chris Jericho & The Dudley Boys one up Rob Van Dam & The Rock, Jericho using the Rock's own Rock Bottom to put the World Heavyweight Champion down as Smackdown came to a close.
Then, we see the normal WWF Monday Night Raw opening air and we go live into the Arena in Oklahoma City, where the homecoming boy, Jim Ross, was standing by with Jerry Lawler to welcome us to another edition of Monday Night Raw! Ross tells the folks at home that tonight's show will be explosive as our main event consists of Kurt Angle facing off against The Undertaker in a #1 contender's match for Steve Austin's WWF Championship! But, that is not all, as Edge & Christian will face off in a title vs. title match, and Rob Van Dam defends his WWF Hardcore Championship against D-Von Dudley!
The music of Ric Flair, co-owner of the World Wrestling Federation, hits and the crowd goes absolutely insane as the Nature Boy wonders down to the ring with a big smile on his face to open the show. Flair returned to the WWF last week to reveal himself as the person who bought all of Shane & Stephanie's stocks when they sold them to buy ECW & WCW. Flair has the wait for the crowd to quiet down before he can say anything and then he finally lets out a big 'WOO!' and the crowd goes nuts again. After a few moments, Flair finally starts talking about how it is so good to be back in the World Wrestling Federation and he says he feels like he is home again. He promises the fans to keep things in order around here and since Vince isn't in the arena yet, he is in charge! The crowd loves this and Flair just keeps strutting around the ring before stating that he is here to stay! Flair tells the crowd to enjoy the show and goes to leave before he is interrupted by Kurt Angle. Angle comes stomping down to the ring and tells Flair that he may be in charge right now, but he will only listen to his real boss, Mr. McMahon! Flair tells Angle that is his choice, but he has a match to prepare for...with the Undertaker! Angle looks all mad and mumbles under his breath as Flair wishes him luck and we cut to commercial.
Match #1; Singles Match William Regal vs. The Big Show A solid opener between two competitors hungry for competition. The Big Show, one of the members on the winning Team WWF at Survivor Series, hasn't been in the ring since and William Regal is trying to prove that he is a bad ass after kissing Vince McMahon's ass, literally, last week in order to save his job. Big Show dominated the match in the opening and Regal had to take him off his vertical base in order to get any amount of offense in. Regal tried locking the Regal Stretch, but Big Show was too large and he threw Regal off. Show was then lining the British-man up for a chokeslam when a man attacked him from behind while the referee was aiding Regal. When the referee looked up, Regal put on a pair of brass knuckles and knocked Big Show out and scored the three count! Winner: William Regal
Regal celebrated his second straight victory on Raw as Big Show held his head in agony. The man who attacked Show appeared to be Booker T, formerly of the Alliance. Either way, the mystery man hightailed it through the crowd to get away from the angry giant and WWF security.
A replay of the Gravy Bowl from this past Smackdown aired as Trish Stratus was able to defeat Stacy Keibler...and get a few other people messy at the same time.
Stacy Keibler, the duchess of Dudleyville, made her way down to the ring and the crowd stood in awe as she made her usual revealing entrance into the ring. Stacy told the fans that she is out here for one reason and that is to get another piece of the WWF Women's Champion, Trish Stratus. Stacy feels that Thursday's loss was a fluke and she wants to face Trish in a bra & panties match...right now! Trish, not missing a beat, came down to the ring...ready for action!
Match #2; Bra and Panties Singles Match (non-title) Trish Stratus vs. Stacy Keibler This wasn't the best wrestling match and honestly, it consisted of the two divas rolling around in the ring, trying to pull each other's clothes off! The crowd seemed to like it and since it wasn't too long, it was a refresher for everyone. Eventually, after both women's bottoms were yanked off, Trish got Stacy's top off and won the match! Winner: Trish Stratus
Trish celebrated with Stacy's top in hand as the entire crowd was able to see Stacy in her bra and panties! The WWF Women's Champion once again got the best of Stacy here tonight!
We then fade to Trish celebrating on a monitor backstage, where Matt Hardy is watching in his locker room. Matt just keeps staring a hole through the TV until his brother, Jeff, and girlfriend, Lita, walk into the ring. Jeff tells Matt to look at him so they could talk. Jeff tells Matt that he needs to get his head in the game, but as Jeff is talking, Matt seems distracted and is half paying attention. Lita tells Jeff that she is going to get coffee and leaves. Jeff pulls Matt closer and tells him to get his mind off of that woman since he has one already with Lita. Jeff adds that he got Matt a match this Thursday on Smackdown to try and get himself back into things. Matt tells his brother okay and shakes his hand before the two leave to meet up with Lita.
Match #3; TITLE VS. TITLE MATCH Intercontinental Champion Edge (c) vs. European Champion Christian (c) (w/Test) This match should be intense as it features two workers who know each other very closely, since they are former tag team partners. Christian didn't wait for Edge to make his entire entrance and started brawling on the outside. After a few shots back and forth between the two, the referee couldn't get them inside and eventually, Test got involved and attacked Edge! The referee decided to end the match before it even begins! Winner: No Contest
Test continued his assault on the Intercontinental Champion and even threw him into the steel ring steps! Before any more damage could be done, Scotty 2 Hotty & Albert came running down to the ring to stop this before it got worse and fought off Christian and Test! Test & Christian retreated up the ramp after a few minutes of trading blows with the tag team. Scotty & Albert then tended to the downed Edge as we cut to commercial break.
We see a limo pull up in the parking lot and the WWF Chairman, Vince McMahon, came stepping out of it. He doesn't seemed to be in a good mood and he is heading towards the building.
A replay of Chris Jericho's attack on the Big Red Monster, Kane, last week was shown. Next, these two will have a rematch from last Monday Night!
Match #4; Singles Match Chris Jericho vs. Kane Kane couldn't wait to get his hands on Jericho for attacking him with a steel chair last week and the match started off a bit one-sided. Jericho could barely get any offense in and the Big Red Machine pounded him and threw him all around the ring. Kane seemed to have Jericho in the palm of his hand, but after attempting a big clothesline from the top, Kane missed and Jericho started working on his legs. After various leg maneuvers and chop blocks, Jericho was setting him up for the Walls of Jericho, but then the theme of the Rock hit and it distracted Jericho! The Rock eventually stepped out on the ramp and watched Jericho receive a big Chokeslam from Kane and lose the match! Winner: Kane
Jericho was livid with the Rock afterward and as he was down in the ring, The Rock raised his World Heavyweight Championship on the ramp and taunted Jericho before leaving!
As we return, we see that Kurt Angle has caught up with Vince McMahon. Angle is expressing his concern for his match with the Undertaker later on tonight. McMahon reminds Angle of their plan, which seems to calm him down a little. They arrive at McMahon's skybox in the arena and as Vince opens the door, Ric Flair is sitting in there already! McMahon is irate as Flair asks his partner how it was going and it seems that Flair has made himself at home!
Then, the camera quickly cuts to the Big Show, who is searching for the man who attacked him earlier tonight and made him lose his match against William Regal. Show is throwing crates and other various items around, obviously upset.
Match #5; WWF HARDCORE CHAMPIONSHIP Rob Van Dam (c) vs. D-Von Dudley Van Dam & Dudley started off quickly, using some weapons from under the ring. These two seem to know each other pretty well from ECW fame. The former alliance members knocked each other around with a few steel chair shots, before D-Von's tag partner, Bubba Ray, came down to the ring. At first he just watched, but then he started to lay it into Van Dam after a few moments. It seemed that the Dudleys had RVD on the ropes and Bubba Ray then set up a table in the ring. They attempted a 3-D, but RVD battled out of it and set Bubba Ray over the top rope with a spinning heel kick. RVD then threw D-Von on the table and nailed a 5 Star Frog Splash and scored the victory! Winner and STILL WWF Hardcore Champion: Rob Van Dam
RVD celebrated his victory on the ramp as Bubba Ray tended to his fallen partner. Bubba screamed at RVD that this wasn't over by a long shot.
Kevin Kelly was able to catch up with the WWF Champion, Stone Cold Steve Austin, who had just arrived in the arena. He asks for Austin's opinion on the main event, which is coming up after the break, and Austin tells Kelly he doesn't give a rats ass who wins tonight because it won't matter. Nobody can take the WWF Championship off of old Stone Cold and he will prove that by beating the living hell out of the winner of tonight's match.
Match #6; #1 Contenders Match to the WWF Championship Kurt Angle (w/Vince McMahon) vs. The Undertaker Nobody had heard from the Undertaker all night until now and maybe it was for good, because he came out firing. Angle seemed scared still entering the match and he had good right to be. Taker really took it to the Olympic Gold Medalist and seemed to be on target in the early going. Angle had to use desperate tactics to get back into the match, but it still seemed like Taker had the upperhand. Accidentally though, The Undertaker went for the Last Ride and Angle's foot kicked the referee in the face and he was knocked out! Taker nailed the move, but was then distracted by Vince McMahon! This led to the Rock to coming running from the back to stop Vince, but following the Rock was Chris Jericho and Jericho had a chair. He nailed both The Rock and The Undertaker with chairshots and then Angle nailed a quick Angle Slam on Taker to score the three count! Winner: Kurt Angle
Angle celebrated his victory as Jericho was trash talking a fallen Rock. Vince picked up a microphone and announced that he has a brilliant idea. He says that he is sick and tired of the Rock running around with a World Championship that wasn't Vince's creation and he is BEYOND sick of the current WWF Champion, Steve Austin. At Vengeance, we will see these championships unify into one UNDISPUTED Champion. Vince smiles as Angle looks at him confusingly and Jericho hits the Rock again with a chair. Raw comes to a close as McMahon struts up the aisle as Angle looks on bewildered.

Alright opening segment for the show, not much really happened. Regal going over Show was surprising but I really like it. Booker T helping Regal win was interesting, since I don’t recall Booker having a championship so him being part of the company is strange. I’m very interested in Matt’s apparent obsession with Trish. Not surprised that Edge/Christian went to a no contest. Good win for Kane and advancement of Rock/Jericho. RVD going over is perfectly fine and predictable. Happy to see Angle pick up the win over Taker and even more advancement for Rock/Jericho. Not a bad episode this time around.

- Talks of the World Wrestling Federation working some Alliance members back into storylines have been thrown around. One idea talked about would have Ric Flair bringing these guys BACK in to sabotage McMahon & the WWF, but this rumor has since been squashed. Either way, it will be no surprise to see former Alliance members back sooner rather than later.
- The WWF Championship situation has gotten hairy within the past few weeks and with two World Championships, something will be done. The idea of unifying the Championships should come to occur at Vengeance. Vince isn't too fond of anything to do with WCW anymore and wants to rid of the Championship all together apparently.
- Shawn Michaels was backstage visiting a few friends recently at a show. Of course there was no talk of a return to the ring, but its not a 'never' thing.
- On the subject of Shawn Michaels, his good friend, Triple H has been rehabbing over the course of the year since he tore his quadriceps and seems to be on the final path of the road to recovery. Expect the Game to be back on our television screens within the next few weeks.
- Talk of releasing some unused talent has been thrown around, but creative has complained of a lack of roster to use.
