World Tag Team Championships

The V Spot vs. Spirit Squad©

Viscera uses his size as an advantage through the match, allowing him and Val Venis to have control through the majority of the match. However, once the other members of the Spirit Squad start to make their presence known, things quickly turn around. Mikey ends up pinning Val with the help of his group, retaining the titles for the Spirit Squad.

Winners: And still World Tag Team Champions, The Spirit Squad

Rob Conway vs. Chavo Guerrero

A rather simple match. Chavo has since returned from “quitting” after talking to JR in the weeks before Backlash. He has been on a bit of a winning streak since making his return. Rob Conway gets in a few cheap shots and has control of the match for a little bit. Rob Conway goes to send Chavo into the ropes but Chavo reverses and then catches Conway with a drop kick as he comes back. Chavo does Eddie’s dance and then pulls Conway up, delivering the Three Amigos. Chavo goes to the top rope and points to the sky. Frog Splash! Chavo goes for the pin. 1... 2... 3!

Winner: Chavo Guerrero

Last Man Standing Match
Vince McMahon vs. Shawn Michaels

After the bell rings to start the match, Shane hops into the ring and a double team on HBK commences. Vince and Shane beat on HBK relentlessly as the show fades to commercials.

When the show comes back from the break, Shane McMahon lies motionless on the outside, having been given an elbow drop through the announce table. Inside the ring, HBK is taking to an already busted open Vince McMahon. Shawn backs up to the corner and starts to “tune up the band.” As Vince starts to get to his feet CHRIS JERICHO hops the barricade and jumps into the ring, going right after Shawn Michaels! Jericho puts a beating on HBK and then puts him into the Walls Of Jericho! Vince makes it to his feet and sees that HBK is being taken care of, and starts talking trash to him. After a few moments, Jericho lets go of the hold and then lifts HBK up. Vince talks some more trash and then delivers a Stunner to Shawn Michaels! Vince demands that the referee start the count, and count fast! The referee starts the count. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10! Chris Jericho raises Vince’s hand in victory as Shane McMahon slowly makes his way back into the ring. The three men raise their arms together and then leave the ring together. What the hell is Chris Jericho doing back on RAW? Not to mention siding with the McMahons!?

Winner: Vince McMahon

Intercontinental Championship

Rob Van Dam vs. Shelton Benjamin©

Rob Van Dam dominates the match right from the beginning. Shelton Benjamin only gets in a few shots here and there, but any offense he mounts is short lived. Part way through the match, Chris Masters makes his way down the ramp and walks around outside the ring, watching the match. Rob Van Dam continues the offense. He sends Shelton into the corner and then flips him right back out with a Monkey Toss. RVD comes off the ropes with a cartwheel and then a Standing Moonsault. RVD decides it’s time to take to the top, and he jumps to the top rope for the Five Star Frog Splash. However, Chris Masters quickly hops to the apron and shoves RVD off the ropes! Benjamin hurries to his feet as RVD gets up as well… EXPLODER FROM BENJAMIN! He goes for the cover! 1... 2... 3! Chris Masters jumps into the ring and begins to start a beat down on RVD with aide from Shelton Benjamin. Only a few seconds pass before Carlito seemingly flies down to the ring and slides in. He goes right after Chris Masters! His attack on Masters is short lived, however, when Benjamin comes to the aide of Masters. The beating continues for a few moments until RVD gets back to his feet and makes the save. Rob Van Dam and Carlito then proceed to fight off Masters and Benjamin. RVD and Carlito stand in the ring as RVD’s music comes over the speakers. The show fades to commercials.

Winner: And still Intercontinental Champion, Shelton Benjamin©

John Cena vs. Edge w/ Lita

When the show comes back from commercials, Edge and Lita are already standing in the ring as Edge’s music plays. His music fades out. The crowd begins to boo at the anticipation of John Cena coming out. After a few seconds, Cena’s music hits the speakers and he comes running from the back and heads straight to the ring. Lita scurries out of the ring as Edge begins to land in some kicks before Cena can even get to his feet. Cena fights his way to his feet, but Edge already has control. Edge maintains his control throughout the match. There are a few times when Cena seems like he’s going to gain the upper hand, but a little interference from Lita puts that to rest. Lita distracts the referee after tossing the championship belt into the ring for Edge. Edge BLASTS Cena in the face with the belt and then tosses it back over to the apron. Lita lets go of the referee and grabs the belt. As the referee turns around, he sees Edge deliver a Spear to Cena! Edge goes for the pin! 1... 2... NO! JOHN CENA KICKS OUT! Edge cannot believe it! He gets to his feet and pulls Cena up. He kicks Cena in the mid-section and goes for the Edgecution. BUT NO! CENA HAS HIM UP FOR THE FU! HE NAILS IT! Cena goes for the pin! 1... 2... 3!

Winner: John Cena

A new leaf.

We’re introduced to the sight of a podium set up, not on a stage, but on the floor. There are chairs on each side of the podium, facing the crowd, and then chairs facing the podium, where the crowd is seated. The crowd consists of World Wrestling Entertainment stars and crew members. The seats next to the podium are soon occupied by Vince McMahon, Shane McMahon, Linda McMahon, and Stephanie McMahon on one side, and then Triple H, Jim Ross, Dave Lagana, and another man we don’t know. Vince McMahon approaches the podium.

Vince McMahon: Ladies and gentlemen, we required this meeting here today, because we have a very important announcement that you all needed to hear. I’m not going to waste any time by standing up here and talking, so let me bring my lovely daughter, Stephanie, up here to talk to all of you.

Stephanie McMahon approaches the podium and hugs her father. Vince takes his seat and Stephanie prepares to speak.

Stephanie McMahon: As you all know, Paul and myself are expecting our first baby in a matter of months. I said recently that I was planning on bringing the baby on the road with me so that I wouldn’t miss any time at work. However, Paul and I have talked about it, and we’ve come to the conclusion that staying at home would be better for the baby and myself. We haven’t decided yet how long I will be gone after the baby is born, but it will most likely be quite a while. Because of my leave, the Head of Creative position will be left open. That is the purpose of today’s meeting. We would like to introduce all of you to the new Head of Creative. The person that will be taking over my duties as lead writer while I am gone. So, at this time, I’d like to ask Jason Randall to the podium.

The previously unknown man now stands up and makes his way to the podium. He shakes hands with Stephanie before she heads back to her seat.

Jason Randall: Hello, everyone. Ms. McMahon already introduced me, but I would like to introduce myself anyway. My name is Jason Randall, and I have been given the honor of taking over the lead writing duties here in World Wrestling Entertainment. I received a phone call the other day from Ms. McMahon herself. She informed me that she was taking maternity leave and they needed to fill her place while she was away. She told me that she had been referred to me by another writer, who now writes for one of the developmental territories. I couldn’t believe my ears, to be honest. I go from working an average everyday job, to getting a phone call to write for the biggest wrestling company in the world. Needless to say, I agreed to the job. They flew me in and filled me in on a few details and that brings us to today.

I would like to cover a few things during this meeting today. These things will range from a few superstars that will no longer be working for the WWE after today - to the future outlook of WWE programming. I’m going to start the meeting by discussing the RAW brand. Following this discussion, we’re all going to take a ten minute break, and then return for the Smackdown brand discussion. So, with that said, let’s get things started, shall we?

The first thing I want to talk about, is the small list of RAW superstars that will no longer be with us starting immediately. The list is as follows: Matt Striker, Momma Benjamin, and Candice Michelle. I would personally like to wish you three the best of luck in the future, but you’re services are no longer needed in World Wrestling Entertainment. The reason for these cuts is a mix between budget cuts, and a lack of creative ideas for each of you.

On a better note, one of the first things I would like to do now that I am the Head of Creative here in WWE, is rebuild the tag team division on both brands. In an effort to do so, here on RAW the tag team of Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch will be put back together. We will also having what I am now calling “The V Spot” consisting of Val Venis and Viscera. Last but not least, we have our current World Tag Team Champions, The Spirit Squad. There will also be couple more tag teams brought into the company in the next couple of months. The tag team division has pretty much been a lost cause for the last five years, and I am setting out to bring back tag team wrestling in this company. The fans want it. The fans will get it.

My second issue, is the Women’s Championship. This was actually a hard topic for me to approach. See, I am a fan of women’s wrestling… when’s it’s done by women wrestlers. I am not, however, a fan of women’s wrestling when it’s done by untrained women who have no idea what they’re supposed to be doing. Now, due to not having the budget to bring in actual wrestlers, I am afraid I am going to have to do away with the Women’s Championship. A roster consisting of Trish Stratus, Mickie James, Victoria, and the occasional Lita, just is not enough to make the division interesting. Women will NOT be getting released because of this, there is still plenty of room for you within the company, and you will still get the chance to wrestle, we are simply closing down a competitive championship as of the time being.

Now onto the Intercontinental Championship. This belt has not been nearly as prestigious as it’s supposed to be in the last few years. It’s time to bring that importance back to this championship. And, right now, I think the championship is on someone who is fully capable of helping in bringing back that prestige. That person being Shelton Benjamin. I plan to make this championship as important as it once was. No longer will the division be used for filler matches. Shelton Benjamin, how about we take that championship back to the days of the late 80’s and early 90’s? Back when it meant something.

As we here, and the rest of the world saw at Backlash, Edge pinned Triple H in the Triple Threat Match to win his second WWE Championship. That isn’t the route that I would have went with this, but it actually opens up a few new options for me to go with, which I plan to do. These options, will be going into full effect in the next week or two here on RAW.

---

The WWE superstars file back into the conference room as the meeting is about to continue.

Jason Randall: Okay everybody, welcome back. It’s time for us to talk about the Smackdown brand. I suppose I will start this half of the meeting off the same way I did with the last half. That being by announcing the names of those who will no longer be working with us as of tonight. So, to the following of you, I am sorry, but we have nothing for you. The Boogeyman, Vito, Road Warrior Animal, Tatanka, and Mark Henry. I myself, as well as WWE, wish you the best of luck in the future.

This half of the meeting is pretty much going to follow the same format as the last half. I am going to discuss certain areas of the Smackdown programming, and what I plan to do with those areas. The things discussed now, will be in basically the same order as they were discussed earlier. So with that, I am going to start by discussing the tag team division on Smackdown. We have a rather healthy division on this side. MNM, The Mexicools, London and Kendrick, Noble and Kash, Gymini, and of course, our WWE Tag Team Champions, MNM. Things have been looking up lately for the tag division here, so let’s keep things that way. Let’s keep improving the division and once again giving the fans a reason to care about WWE’s tag teams.

The Cruiserweight Championship needs some more attention as well. But much like the tag team situation, the cruiserweight division has been getting at least a little more exposure lately, ever since Helms was traded to Smackdown. Now, from what I understand, Helms will be returning from his broken nose in about two weeks. So, when he comes back, I am going to push this division hard. The fans want to see these guys get some more TV time, so let’s give it to them.

The United States Championship has been getting some meaning back behind it lately. The feud between Booker T and Chris Benoit. The feud between Chris Benoit and our current United States Champion, JBL. This championship is a lot like the Intercontinental Championship, in the sense that it used to mean a lot more than it does now. So, I am going to do my best, to give this championship some of its old meaning back, just like I am going to do with the Intercontinental Championship.

As far as the World Heavyweight Championship is concerned, Rey Mysterio has been doing a fantastic job as our champion. The triple threat match at WrestleMania was phenomenal, and everything Rey has done since has been just as great. I assure you all that you can expect some very interesting things to come in Smackdown’s main event scene. It’s going to be great.

Grudge Match
Finlay vs. Chris Benoit

The match goes back and forth and has a very old school style to it. Benoit tries to use his technical style on Finlay, but Finlay does his best to keep Benoit at bay by simply beating the crap out of him. The match eventually turns into a brawl as opposed to a match. Chris Benoit sends Finlay into the corner and charges after him. Finlay, being a cheat, pulls the referee in the way, causing Benoit to crash into the referee. Benoit stumbles back and Finlay charges at him with a Clothesline but Benoit ducks and gets behind him… GERMAN SUPLEX! Benoit holds onto Finlay. ANOTHER SUPLEX! Benoit still doesn’t let go! A THIRD AND FINAL GERMAN! Benoit gets to his feet and signals that this is the end. He notices a noise behind and spins around… CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL! Benoit is OUT! JBL drags Finlay on top of Benoit and then kicks the referee to wake him up. JBL climbs out of the ring and ducks beside the apron. The referee crawls over for the count. 1.….. 2.….. 3!

Winner: Finlay

Matt Hardy vs. Booker T w/ Sharmell

As the show returns from the break, Matt Hardy stands in the ring as his music plays. His music fades out and Booker T’s music comes over the speakers. He makes his way to the ring with Sharmell at his side. Booker T attacks Hardy before the bell even rings, giving him the early unfair advantage. Due to this attack, Booker is able to keep the upper hand for a while. Booker T hits Hardy with a kick to the mid-section. Booker T comes off the ropes for the Scissors Kick but Hardy moves! Booker spins around and Hardy hits him with the Side Effect! Hardy gets to his feet and signals for the end. Booker makes his way to his feet and turns to face Hardy, ending up in the set up for the… TWIST OF FATE! Hardy goes for the pin! 1... 2... 3! Booker T has lost to Matt Hardy again! Matt Hardy salutes the crowd and then heads toward the back while Booker T remains in the ring. Sharmell tries to console him, but its no use. Booker T starts having a temper tantrum, which eventually leads to him hitting the referee with the Book End.

Winner: Matt Hardy

WWE Tag Team Championships

Mexicools vs. MNM© w/ Melina

The music of the Mexicools plays over the speakers as they make their way to the ring on their “Juan Deeres.” They park them next to the ring and then climb into the ring and play to the crowd as the show fades to commercials.

As the show comes back from commercials, MNM’s music hits the speakers. They make their way out to the ring with their paparazzi. Joey and Johnny get into the ring and flaunt their belts and then signal Melina to enter the ring. Melina does her usual entrance to a small pop from the crowd. Shortly after, Melina exits the ring and the match begins with Johnny and Super Crazy. At first, the match goes back and forth, but as the match progresses, it seems more and more like the Mexicools are going to pull it off. Super Crazy ends up in the ring with Joey Mercury while Psicosis and Johnny Nitro are fighting on the outside. Super Crazy slams Mercury down near the corner and then climbs to the top for his Moonsault. On the outside, Nitro slams Psicosis into one of the lawn mowers and then jumps up onto the apron, shoving Super Crazy off to the outside. Crazy lands face first on the hood of one of the lawn mowers. Johnny Nitro tosses Psicosis into the ring, Joey Mercury is now to his feet. They set him up for the Snapshot. JAMIE NOBLE and KID KASH hop the barricade on the outside and start to beat on Super Crazy while the referee is paying attention to what is going on inside the ring, which is MNM hitting the Snapshot on Psicosis! Joey Mercury goes for the pin! 1... 2... 3! Having kept Super Crazy from making it in for the save, Jamie Noble and Kid Kash exit the way they came in. Melina climbs into the ring and celebrates with her men and their belts.

Winners: And still WWE Tag Team Champions, MNM

King of the Ring Match
Lashley vs. Burchill

Lashley controls the match from the start, due to Regal constantly distracting Burchill from the outside. Rather early in the match, Lashley sends Burchill into the ropes. As Burchill hits the ropes, Regal jumps up on the apron and nails Burchill in the back of the head with Brass Knuckles. Burchill staggers forward and finds himself being hoisted up onto Lashley’s shoulder. DOMINATOR! Lashley goes for the pin! 1... 2... 3!

Winner: Lashley

Champion vs. Champion
JBL© w/ Jillian vs. Rey Mysterio©

As the show comes back from commercials, JBL’s music is already playing and the limo has already pulled out from the back. The driver then opens the back door and JBL steps out, followed by Jillian. They make their way to the ring, with JBL proudly wearing his United States Championship belt. JBL climbs into the ring as Rey Mysterio’s music comes in over the speakers. Mysterio shoots up out of the stage beside the aisle and then makes his way toward the ring, playing to the crowd. Mysterio climbs into the ring and before he can even completely take off the World Heavyweight Championship belt, JBL attacks him. JBL is in control for pretty much the entire match. He moreless just toys with Mysterio throughout the match. However, JBL’s cockiness soon gets the better of him, and Mysterio starts hitting move after move. Mysterio attempts to whip JBL into the ropes, but JBL counters with ease and goes for the Clothesline From Hell as Mysterio approaches him! Mysterio ducks and goes off the opposite ropes. Before JBL can turn around, Mysterio lands a drop kick to his back, sending him falling toward the ropes. JBL lands on the second rope and crowd begins to cheer in anticipation of the… 619! JBL stumbles backward and Mysterio springboards off the ropes for the West Coast Pop! OH!!! POWERBOMB TO MYSTERIO! JBL caught Mysterio and Powerbombed him straight to hell! Mysterio rolls over, grasping his back in pain as JBL creeps over toward the ropes, preparing to go for the Clothesline From Hell. Mysterio slowly makes his way to his feet and JBL goes off the ropes and charges at him and NO! Mysterio ducks and JBL BLASTS the referee with the Clothesline From Hell! The referee isn’t moving! JBL quickly spins around and nails Mysterio with the same move, but doesn’t exactly have a referee to make a count. JBL, realizing the referee is down, throws a fit in the middle of the ring. WAIT! What’s this?! IT’S CHRIS BENOIT! CHRIS BENOIT IS IN THE RING! He charges at JBL, who attempts to Clothesline him, but Benoit ducks and gets behind JBL… GERMAN SUPLEX! AND ANOTHER! AND ANOTHER! JBL is down! Chris Benoit climbs to the top rope… DIVING HEADBUTT! Benoit quickly leaves the ring, the damage having been done. Mysterio starts to get up, and notices that JBL is down, and crawls over to make the cover! The referee sees the cover, and slowly crawls over. 1.….. 2.….. 3! Mysterio slowly makes his way to his feet as someone at ringside hands him his belt. Mysterio climbs to the second rope and poses with his belt as the show fades out.

Winner: Rey Mysterio

RAW on USA

Rene Dupree vs. Chavo Guerrero

This match is pretty much the same as Chavo’s match last week. Rene gets in the cheap shots and has the upper hand until Chavo catches him with a few drop kicks. The drop kicks are followed by the Three Amigos. Chavo finishes him off with the Frog Splash and goes for the pin. 1... 2... 3! Rack up another win for Chavo Guerrero.

Winner: Chavo Guerrero

Tag Team Match
Cade and Murdoch vs. Eugene and Goldust

Eugene and Goldust come out to the ring to their separate entrances. They talk inside the ring while Eugene’s music continues to play. The show fades to commercials.

As the show returns from commercials, Cade and Murdoch’s music comes over the speakers and they make their way down to the ring. The match starts and proceeds as your average run of the mill tag team match. It comes down to Eugene and Murdoch being the legal men. Eugene hits his version of the Rock Bottom and goes for the pin, which brings Cade into the ring to break up the count. Goldust hurries into the ring and starts exchanging punches with Cade. While those two are fighting, Murdoch sends Eugene into the corner and does a ten punch. As Eugene stumbles out of the corner, Murdoch climbs to the second rope and soars off with a Flying Bulldog on Eugene. At about the same time, Cade clotheslines Goldust over the top rope to the outside and Murdoch goes for the pin, making sure to get a handful of tights. 1... 2... 3! As soon as the bell rings, Val Venis and Viscera hurry to the ring. Well, okay Val hurries to the ring, Viscera takes a while. Anyway, Venis goes after Murdoch and starts laying in some punches. Cade pulls Val off of Trevor and they start exchanging right hands. Viscera finally makes it into the ring and delivers a rather painful looking splash to Murdoch, who is still down on the mat. Cade attempts to whip Val to the corner but Val reverses it. Viscera then runs… I guess you could call it that… across the ring and splashes Cade in the corner.

Winners: Cade and Murdoch

Tag Team Match
Rob Van Dam and Carlito vs. Shelton Benjamin and Chris Masters

Rob Van Dam and Chris Masters start the match. Chris Masters gets the upper hand early on, using his strength and size to his advantage. Masters continues to toy with RVD as the show fades to commercials.

As the show returns from commercials, Chris Masters has lost a bit of control over RVD, who is now getting in a few shots, which eventually enables him to tag in Carlito. As soon as he tags in Carlito, Masters hurries to the corner and tags in Shelton Benjamin. The match continues, going back and forth, until Carlito gets the hot tag to RVD, who storms the ring and takes out both Chris Masters and Shelton Benjamin. RVD sends Masters to the outside a clothesline over the top rope, and then delivers a few of his trademark moves to Shelton inside the ring. Carlito ends up hitting Shelton with his backbreaker, which is followed up by a Five Star Frog Splash from RVD. Van Dam goes for the pin. 1... 2... 3!

Winners: Rob Van Dam and Carlito

WWE Championship Backlash Rematch

John Cena vs. Triple H vs. Edge© w/ Lita

John Cena and Triple H make their way to the ring and exchange insults as they await the arrival of Edge. Finally, Edge’s music hits and he emerges from the back with Lita. They make their way down to the ring and the match is ready to begin. From the start, John Cena and Triple H both go after Edge, seemingly working together. Part way through the match, the show fades to commercials.

As the show returns from the break, things have changed, and now Cena and Edge are working together to take out Triple H. The match continues as such, with Cena and Triple H teaming up, and then Cena and Edge. There are a few near falls where it looks as though Cena is about to regain the title, but the count is broken up by the third man, be it Triple H or Edge, every time. As the match progresses, all of the team work stops. Lita hops onto the apron to distract Triple H, which then enables Edge to Spear him. Edge then goes after Cena with the Spear. However, Cena steps out of the way, sending Edge shoulder first into the ring post. Edge stumbles back and walks right into an FU from Cena! At this time, Triple H is getting back to his feet. He staggers around and finds himself on the shoulders of Cena. Once again, the crowd erupts into boos as Cena is about to FU Triple H. Cena hesitates, not sure whether to do it or not. After a few moments, Triple H fights his way out of Cena’s grasp and nails Cena with a Pedigree! Edge, who is now fighting his way back to his feet, sees an opportunity. He runs over and tosses Triple H over the top rope to the outside and goes for the cover! 1... 2... 3! Edge steals another victory! Edge is handed his belt and he flees the ring with Lita and starts to head up the ramp. Triple H sits on the outside, looking a bit confused, but mostly pissed off. Inside the ring, Cena is still unconscious. The camera focuses on Edge and Lita smiling as they back their way up the ramp as the show fades.

Winner: And STILL WWE Champion, Edge

King of the Ring Match
Kurt Angle vs. Matt Hardy

Surprisingly, this match isn’t one-sided. Matt Hardy is able to hold his own and appears to have a chance. The match goes back and forth with both men getting in a few near falls. Eventually, Hardy starts to build up a solid offense and looks like he might actually have a chance at winning. Hardy continues to get in some good offense before finally hooking Angle for the Twist of Fate. However, before he can hit the move, Hardy happens to look over his shoulder and see Booker T and Sharmell making their way down toward the ring. Matt drops Kurt and approaches the ropes, yelling at Booker T. Booker T, while still approaching the ring, talks trash to Hardy. With Hardy distracted, Angle comes up behind him and nails him with the Angle Slam and goes for the cover! 1... 2... 3! Booker T laughs and then slides into the ring and immediately starts to beat on Matt Hardy. Kurt Angle, knowing that it’s not his business, leaves the ring and heads to the back. Booker continues the assault. He pulls Hardy to his feet and then uses his OWN MOVE against him! Matt is down from a Twist of Fate from Booker T. With the damage done, Booker and Sharmell head to the back.

Winner: Kurt Angle

London and Kendrick vs. Noble and Kash

Very good, solid, back and forth tag match. A lot of high flying from London and Kendrick while Noble and Kash attempt to keep them grounded with some mat work. All four men seem to work incredibly well together as the match progresses nicely. It comes down to Paul London and Jamie Noble in the ring. Jamie Noble takes London down with a nice neck breaker as Super Crazy and Psicosis sneak over the barricade and come up next to Noble and Kash’s corner. Noble tags in Kid Kash. Kash takes a few steps toward the middle of the apron and then springs up to the top rope, but as he springs up, Psicosis hops up and grabs the rope, causing Kash to crash down to the mat. As Jamie Noble sees this, he hurries to the outside to chase off Psicosis and Super Crazy. Meanwhile, inside the ring, London rolls up the injured Kid Kash. 1... 2... 3! London and Kendrick celebrate while Kid Kash rolls around on the mat, hurt from the fall. Jamie Noble comes running back to the ring, but realizes he is just a tad bit too late.

Winners: London and Kendrick

Burchill vs. Finlay

More of a brawl than a match. Finlay has the upper hand early on, but Burchill eventually turns the match around. With Burchill controlling the match, Finlay starts to get a little desperate. As soon as he gets a chance to pull away from Burchill, he sneaks out of the ring and grabs his shillelagh. He brings it into the ring with him and goes after Burchill, who catches him with the C4! The shillelagh goes flying near the corner of the ring. After the move, Burchill decides to add insult to injury by playing to the crowd. In the meantime, the referee, seeing the shillelagh on the mat, goes over to the corner and picks it up, intending to hand it to someone at ringside to get it out of the way. With the referee’s attention elsewhere, Regal comes out of nowhere and slides into the ring, delivering a stiff shot to Burchill with brass knuckles! Regal quickly flees from the ring as Finlay is coming to. Finlay sees Burchill down and instinctively goes for the cover. The referee makes the count. 1... 2... 3!

Winner: Finlay

WWE Tag Team Championships

Lashley vs. Mr. Kennedy

Exceptional match. Surprisingly, it goes back and forth, as opposed to the much larger Lashley dominating. Lashley does, however, have control for the first few moments of the match. After a couple of minutes, Kennedy manages to score a mule kick, and from there he is able to keep Lashley from gaining an advantage, but he himself cannot gain one either, due to Lashley managing to over power him. Eventually, Kennedy gets desperate and starts to untape his wrist. He then uses that to choke Lashley. Somehow, the oh-so-wonderful referee doesn’t notice. This finally enables Kennedy to gain control of the match. Kennedy sends Lashley into the corner, and it seems as though he is about to set him up for the Kenton Bomb. However, before he can fully prepare for the move, the arena lights go out and the Undertaker’s GONG sounds over the loud speakers. Kennedy is frantic, looking every which way for the Undertaker. Suddenly, the lights come back on. Kennedy slowly turns around, fearing that Undertaker is behind him. When he turns around, LASHLEY is there and immediately gets him up for the DOMINATOR! Lashley goes for the pin! 1... 2... 3! Lashley celebrates for a few moments until Kennedy manages to roll himself out of the ring. As soon as he is able to stand, Kennedy flees to the back in fear of the Undertaker.

Winner: Lashley

United States Championship

No Disqualification Match
Chris Benoit vs. JBL© w/ Jillian

Chris Benoit is the first to the ring. He circles around the ring as JBL’s music comes over the speakers. The limo pulls out and then stops in front of the entrance. Benoit watches on as he waits for JBL to be let out, but the driver never gets out of the car. Instead, BAM!!! JBL attacks Benoit from behind. JBL has control of the match for a good five minutes, pretty much toying with Benoit. Eventually, however, JBL’s cockiness gets the better of him, as it allows Benoit a momentary opportunity to get a move in, and he does just that. Benoit takes control of the match following a German Suplex. From this point on, Benoit works on JBL’s arm and occasionally his back. Things go back and forth a few times, but Benoit keeps coming back out on top. Benoit goes for a whip, but JBL reverses and sends Benoit into the ropes. As Benoit comes back off the ropes, JBL goes for a clothesline but Benoit ducks and gets behind JBL… GERMAN SUPLEX! AND ANOTHER! AND A THIRD! Benoit signals for the end! Benoit climbs up to the top rope, and as he’s climbing up, Jillian slides the United States Championship belt into the ring to JBL. Benoit soars off the rope and… WHAM! A FACE FULL OF GOLD! JBL tosses the belt over to the apron as he goes for the cover! 1... 2... NO! BENOIT KICKS OUT! JBL is in disbelief! JBL gets to his feet and measures JBL up for the Clothesline From Hell. Wait… what’s this? Rey Mysterio comes running down the aisle and jumps onto the apron. He springboards off the ropes at JBL but JBL ducks! Mysterio lands on his feet, and picks up the United States belt off the apron and runs at JBL with it! JBL DUCKS AGAIN AND… NO!!! MYSTERIO JUST BLASTS BENOIT IN THE FACE WITH THE BELT ON ACCIDENT! Mysterio doesn’t know what to do! He turns around… CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL! JBL quickly goes for the cover on Benoit! 1... 2... 3! Mysterio just inadvertently cost Benoit the match! JBL grabs his belt and heads up the ramp with Jillian as Mysterio lays on the mat across the ring from Benoit. Benoit starts to come to, and looks at Mysterio as if he’s going to kill him. Mysterio tries to get to his feet, but to no avail. He speaks to Benoit from across the ring as they both remain on the mat, apologizing repeatedly. They eventually both make it up to their feet and Mysterio continues to apologize. Benoit stares him down for a few moments before finally shaking hands with him and patting him on the back. Benoit’s music cuts JBL’s music off and he heads toward the back with Mysterio as the show fades.

Winner: And still United States Champion, JBL
