Monday Night RAW

RAW was kicked off tonight by another six-pack challenge qualifier – Ken Kennedy VS Carlito!!!

"MRRRRRRRRRRR... Kennedy!!!!!"

Kennedy made his way to the ring and as usual, announced his own entrance.

Carlito then made his way to the ring and this match was on!!

A good match, about ten minutes in length, which ended when Kennedy countered the Back-Cracker into a roll-up, where he held the tights and got the pin – to qualify for the third place in the six-pack challenge match!!

Commercial Break

We returned to RAW with The Legend Killer, Randy Orton – in the middle of the ring, with a mic.

Orton – "I believe I'm being made to compete this weekend at No Mercy – a Smackdown PPV – against that washed up TNA reject – Monty Brown. In a Street Fight??? Hahahahahahahaha!!!! Are you serious?? The only reason I agreed to face the damn idiot is because I got a special reward out of it. But more about that in a minute. Who in the hell does this clown – Monty Brown – think he is? Challenging me, the Legend Killer, to a Street Fight at No Mercy?? Well let me just tell you all one thing – at No Mercy – I will KILL Monty Brown's WWE legend – before it even starts!!"

The sound of breaking glass filled the arena and Austin made his way to the ring.

Austin – "Okay, Orton – let me get this straight... You're killing legends that don't even exist now? WHAT??? But seriously – good luck in the match on Sunday, it's the first chance since I've arrived that we get to show those other sons-of-bitches that the Board call 'brands' that RAW is the number one show!! So, to add a little 'spice' to this match – next week on RAW you and Monty Brown will square off once again – in a Tag Team Match. Let's see... Randy Orton, and King Booker... VS Monty Brown and CM Punk!!!!"

The crowd went insane!! CM Punk on RAW next week!

Austin – "Now you said something about a little 'reward' you got during the week... Out with it, Orton!!"

Orton – "Well as much as I dislike you making matches for me – I guess I'll have to accept it now you're our GM... Anyways, as a result of this match with Brown at No Mercy, I am officially allowed to name my own opponent for my six-pack qualifier!"

Austin – "Oh and I suppose that you're gonna pick one of the Divas for the easiest match possible."

Orton – "Well, I did think about that... I also considered naming YOU as my opponent..."

The crowd went mad – Austin VS Orton??

Orton – "But in the end I decided... in two weeks time, RAW's main event shall be... the Legend Killer, Randy Orton... VS Eugene!!!"

JR – "What the hell, King??? This guy has got to be kidding!!"

King – "I can see it now... Eugene beats Orton – and goes on to become the next WWE Champion!!!"

Austin – " Well now you're done acting the damn jackass, get out of my ring and let the damn show go on!!!"

As soon as Austin said that, he was blindsided by an enraged Triple H – who smashed a sledgehammer into his knee and then into his back.

JR – "Oh for God's sake!!! Someone stop this animal!!!"

Triple H then repeatedly punched Austin in the face, busting him wide open – before throwing him over the top rope and following him to the outside. HHH then slammed Austin's head off the announce table four times, before kicking him in the gut and Pedigreeing him on the floor!!!

King – "JR – Triple H has just destroyed RAW's General Manager!!! What does this mean?"

Triple H then grabbed a mic – "Austin, I warned you last week what would happen if you didn't quit!!! Not only did you not do that – but you cost me a shot at my WWE Title!!! Now I'm gonna make you wish you were never BORN!!!"

Triple H dropped the mic and threw Austin knees first across the steel steps, and proceeded to punch him repeatedly again. Security finally came down to pull Triple H off a bloody Austin.

Austin gets up!!! He makes a charge through the security for Triple H, but Triple H counters and rams an Austin – blinded by his own blood – into the barrier. He then punches several security guards and Pedigrees Austin again – this time on the steel ramp. He then does his celebratory pose, as his music plays. He leaves the arena to a chorus of boos.

Commercial Break

The next match on the card tonight was for the RAW Tag Team Titles, pitting Cryme Tyme against The Spirit Squad!!

The match was fast-paced and finally ended around the twelve minute mark when JTG and Shad Gaspard hit the G-9 on Mikey for the three count and to crown them as new Tag Team Champions!!!

The next match featured Bobby Lashley, making his RAW debut against Shelton Benjamin!!

Good debut for Lashley, he won the match around the eight minute mark after a Spear and Dominator on Benjamin.

Commercial Break

The Main Event was up next – Kane VS The Undertaker in a six-pack qualifier, and it was No DQ!!!!

This was an absolute brutal match, with Kane kicking out of the Last Ride, and Undertaker out of the Chokeslam! The match went for twenty minutes, with both men buste wide open, and exhausted, Kane came off the top rope trying to clothesline Taker, but he countered it and hit the Tombstone Piledriver!!!! 1 – 2 – 3!!!!!! Taker takes the fourth spot in the six-pack match for the WWE Title!!!!!!

After the match, Taker celebrated and left the arena, while Kane sat up. Enraged, he went to the announce table and tore it apart, before grabbing Jerry 'The King' Lawler and chokeslamming him straight through it!!! Kane then laughed maniacally as RAW went off the air.

ECW

ECW kicked off tonight with a match putting the Hardy Boyz together again for the first time since 2002, and on a night where a new ECW Champion would be crowned!!!

The Hardyz came out to a huge ovation, followed by their opponents, Test and Bob Holly. The match itself was shortlived, however, when Johnny Nitro and Chris Masters came from the crowd to nail Matt and Jeff with the Tag Title belts. They then proceeded to drag both men into the ring, and while Test and Holly watched, give them a beat-down. They were interrupted by Indy Trice, who came running to the ring to defend his ECW counterparts.

Holly went for Trice, but Trice backdropped him over the top rope to the floor. Nitro and Masters went for him, but were surprisingly stopped by Test. Trice then hit a massive Spear on Nitro and Test hit the Pumphandle Slam on Masters, clearing house as the four ECW Extremists celebrated in the ring!

Styles – "About time someone stuck up for the Hardyz!! I'm sick of those sneak attacks by Nitro and Masters!"

Tazz – "Yeah and the Hardyz are bringing the gold home after No Mercy!!"

The next match was Tommy Dreamer VS Balls Mahoney.

A short match where Balls nailed Dreamer with his trademark chair, before Dreamer recovered and got the victory after a Dreamer DDT on Balls' chair!

Suddenly the arena went black

"Deranged is coming to ECW... In three weeks..."

The camera then cut to a boiler room, where the back of a masked man was shown. A janitor entered the room, and the masked man went crazy – Chokeslamming him on the steel floor and stuffing him into the boiler – before sitting down in a cross-legged position on the floor and rocking back and forth.

The cameras cut back to the arena, where the lights came back on.

Styles – "What the hell was that??"

Tazz – "I dunno – but I hope that janitor is okay!!!"

Commercial Break

Next up was the ECW Championship match – Shawn Michaels of the NWO VS The Sandman!!!

Tazz – "This would be a disaster for ECW if Michaels wins tonight!!! I'm personally guaranteeing that while I'm still standing – that will NOT happen!"

Styles – "Tazz – don't you think that maybe fighting these guys is a bad idea?? I mean there are three of them!"

Tazz – "I don't give a rat's ass Joey! This is about more than a Title – this is ensuring ECW doesn't get taken down the same route WCW followed cos of the NWO!!!!"

Shawn Michaels came out first, to the NWO theme, accompanied by Chris Benoit and Finlay. All three men wore the NWO shirts and Michaels led the way to the ring, prancing and pretending to strum along to the NWO entrance music on an air guitar.

Paul E – Cut this damn music!!! Cut it now!!"

Paul Heyman appeared on the stage.

Paul E – "You thought the ban applied for one week??? Hell no!! Security, remove these two indiscretions from ringside!"

Michaels – "Fine Heyman, they'll go – but that won't stop me from claiming the Title – the NWO Title!! And I've got a little present for a little runt at ringside..."

Shawn Michaels superkicks the unsuspecting Tazz straight in the mouth!!

Michaels – "There ya go, I feel a lot better already!!!"

Styles – "Ah for crying out loud – Tazz, are you okay??"

Benoit and Finlay left ringside, grinning at Paul Heyman as they passed him.

The Sandman's music hit next, and he made his usual entrance through the crowd to the ring!!!

Paul E – "This match is ECW Rules, with no time-limit, for the ECW Championship!! Referee, ring the damn bell!"

Shawn and Sandman locked up in the centre of the ring. Quick hip toss by Michaels, and he grabs Sandman's Singapore Cane! He smacks Sandman with it three or four times, before Tazz bursts from his seat and pounces on Michaels, raining blows on his face and body!!

Michaels rolls out from under Tazz and immediately gets caned by Sandman!! Five... Six shots with the cane!!! Michaels is still standing, albeit very dazed in the ring. European uppercut from Sandman to Michaels to floor him.

Tazz is up now, and directing traffic while getting the crowd going – "ECW, ECW, ECW!!!!"

Tazzmission on Shawn Michaels!!! Sandman then pulled up the beaten Michaels – White Russian Leg Sweep!!!

Through the crowd came Finlay and Benoit at that moment, jumping the barrier, with Finlay pulling Tazz out of the ring and beating him across the head with the shilealagh, and Benoit rolling into the ring with a chair in hand.

Paul E – "Stop them now dammit!!"

Paul E and his security run to the ring, where Tazz is now fighting back and he and Finlay are trading blows on the outside – before one of Heyman's security smashes Tazz across the head with a night – stick!!!

Paul E – "What the hell are you doing???"

The security and Finlay then beat the hell out of Tazz, before Finlay hits the Celtic Cross on Tazz on the floor!!!

Back in the ring, Sandman counters Benoit swinging the chair at him – throwing him into a superkick from Michaels!!! Second White Russian Leg Sweep to Michaels! 1 – 2 – Heyman's security pull the ref out of the ring!!

The security and Finlay are backing Paul Heyman up the steps and into the ring, where they launch an assault on Sandman!!!! Sandman tries to fight them off, but there are just too many of them and Finlay hits a Celtic Cross on a bloody Sandman.

Finlay then drags Sandman up... Sweet Chin Music from Michaels to Sandman!!!!

The ref is back in the ring... Paul Heyman throws him out!! Before being backed up in a corner by Finlay and his security... Paul E bursts into a massive smile, and takes off his traditional trenchcoat... revealing an NWO shirt!!!!

Styles – "You can't be serious... No fin way!! This can't happen!!"

Heyman then motions for Michaels to cover the fallen Sandman – Heyman counts... 1 – 2 – 3!!!!! It's over!! Shawn Michaels is the new Champion!!!!

Styles – "Why Paul??? Why have you turned on your own creation to side with this scum??"

Paul E – "Here is your winner – and new NWO Heavyweight Champion... Shawn Michaels!!!!!"

Benoit, Finlay, Michaels, and Heyman then celebrated in the ring together while Heyman's security dumped Sandman over the top rope – as ECW went off the air.
