RAW: 8/11/2004
Monday Night RAW was live in Austin, Texas. To kick off the show is Triple H. Triple H is on the mic and said that him returning tonight will spell a lot of problems around the locker room. He said him leaving should have taught everyone a lesson, but it didn't. Triple H announced that Ric Flair would not be here tonight and that because of that, Batista is very angry. He said the attacks against Flair took place right under the very watchful eyes of General Manager Eric...Bischoff (who says his own last name to cut Triple H off). Bischoff comes down and tells Triple H to come to grips with the fact that all four members of the winning team at Survivor Series this Sunday will get control of RAW for a full month.
Triple H grabs Bischoff and he tells Triple H not to do this, pointing out that he is the GM of RAW and that laying his hands on him would force him to strip him of the World Heavyweight Title. Triple H eventually lets go and Bischoff continues. Bischoff says it is quite simple, this Sunday at Survivor Series, it will be Triple H's team vs. Randy Orton's team.
The four members of the winning team will then each get the helm of RAW while he is on vacation. Bischoff said if chaos insues, so be it. He said if he was Triple H, he wouldn't worry about those stipulations. Bischoff said he should concentrate more about keeping that belt around his waist after Survivor Series. Triple H assures Bischoff that his team will win and that he will keep his World Heavyweight Title.
He tells Bischoff that no one can beat him for his title. Bischoff agrees with him and asks the fans if they want to see action tonight. Bischoff announces the first match of the night and requests the bell to be rung. Lilian Garcia introduces Batista followed by his opponent...Randy Orton. Orton comes out and we go to commercial.
We are back from commercial and the match is already in progress. Both Orton and Batista lock up and Orton breaks it up until Batista responds with an elbow to the face. Orton goes for the RKO, but Batista pushes away and rolls out of the ring. Triple H is at ringside as well and stares down Orton.

Next up for the tag team match for the World Tag Team Titles.
In the arena, Jackal's theme hits and he makes his way to the ring...ONLY TO BE ATTACKED FROM BEHIND BY THE CHAMPIONS! La Résistance beats Jackal down and sends him into the steel steps, causing him to clutch his shoulder before Conway picks him up and brings his forehead off the barricade before both men toss him into the ring and slide in, Conway demanding the referee ring the bell.
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
Grenier beats down Jackal as Conway hold shim down, this match becoming more of a 2-on-1 Handicap match for the tag team titles. Conway and Grenier stomp on Jackal, keeping him down.
'Bladewolf! Bladewolf! Bladewolf!' The crowd chanted, hoping it would summon the Demon Wolf himself despite the fact he doesn't seem interested in teaming with Jackal again.
Conway shouts at the fans before he drops an elbow down on Jackal's chest and holds him down as Grenier locks in a hold on Jackal's legs, wanting to make him tap out but Jackal holds on as he yells in pain.
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
The Devil's Wolf plays to a loud pop and out comes the Bladewolf, no metallic mask, no coat or Intercontinental Championship. He storms down the ramp as Grenier and Conway release Jackal and back off.
Bladeowlf climbs over the top rope and stands in the ring, walking until his feet stopped next to Jackal's head and the masked Demon Wolf stares down at Jackal before he reaches down and grabs Jackal by the throat, which got boos as he pulls Jackal to his feet and the two stare each other down as Jackal clutches Bladewolf's arm due to the grip on his neck.
Bladewolf tilts his head before he suddenly let's Jackal go, Jackal turns around...AND HITS GRENIER WITH A SPEAR! The crowd popped as Conway looks at Bladewolf with wide eyes, begging for mercy but Bladewolf slowly shakes his head at his pleas as Jackal stands behind Conway. Conway turns into a hard right hand that knocks him into Bladewolf's grip.
Bladewolf lifts Conway up...AND PLANTS HIM WITH A CHOKESLAM!
Jackal picks Grenier up and shoves him to Bladeowlf who picks him up...AND THEY HIT THE FLAPJACK/CUTTER COMBO FINISHER! BLADEWOLF HOOKS THE LEGS! ONE! TWO! THREE! WE HAVE NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
The Devil's Wolf plays as Bladewolf gets to a feet and flips his hair back. "Here are your winners and the NEW! World Tag Team Champions...JACKAL AND THE BLADEWOLF!"
Jackal is handed the title and he gives one to Bladewolf who looks at it, tilting his head before he lowers the title and nods at Jackal before they fist bump and raise the belts together.
The Wolfpack was back together again and the new World Tag Team Champions...
I really, really loved the 2002-2010 design of the World Tag Team Championship, it just looked like a tag team belt, same with the 2002-2010 design of the WWE Tag Team Championship.
So expect Bladewolf to hold the '02-'10 design of the World Tag Team Titles several times.
Also Bladewolf has now turned Face because of this reunion.
