RAW: 23/2/2004

Monday Night RAW was live from Omaha. Nebraska. Recap of last week's match with Benoit and HBK and the events afterwards naming the Triple Threat Match for WrestleMania 20.

Lita head down to the ring and we have our first match of the night which is a Ftal four way for the WWE Women's Title. Molly Holly defends her title against Lita, Jazz, and Victoria.

Heels attack the faces to start, Elimination are in order.

Lita eliminates Jazz by DDT

Victoria eliminates Molly Holly by a variation of a bridge rollup

At this point Molly attacks Victoria and has to be restrained by officials. This is a very quick match and surprised that the first commercial takes place here

After the break, Victoria has Lita in a headlock as we get back to the action. Victoria in control for a couple of minutes before Lita mounts a comeback. Now both ladies are going at it neither one getting the clear advantage for long. Lita hits a huge twist of fate for a close two count. After Lita climbs the buckle, Victoria who was playing possum, hits Lita and hits the Widow s Peak for the 3 count. Steven Richards runs down and celebrates with Victoria.

A long black limo arrives and out comes Vince McMahon. He instructs the driver to take his wrestling gear out of the trunk and into his office. Vince walks off to his office

Coach comes into Bischoff's office to make sure that Eric is aware that Vince is in the building. Christian walks in and says the same thing that Coach just did. Christian pitches an idea to Eric. Y2J & Christian vs. the World Tag Champs. Eric does't like that idea and doesn't like Y2J very much. Eric cuts a brief promo on why he hates Y2J and then makes a match for tonight. It will be Christian vs. Y2J's other best friend, Trish Stratus

Randy Orton walks down in his wrestling gear, this leads to our next match

Poor Val, he finally gets on RAW and is basically getting squashed by the IC Champ. Val starts off with some offense but Orton dominates the rest of the match. Orton is mocking Foley doing the Bang bang sign, getting even more heat with the crowd. Val with some more offense but Orton reverts to some more heel tactics to get the advantage again. RKO by Orton on Val for the pin fall victory.

Benoit vs. Batista is mentioned again as we go to commercial

We come back and a recap video is shown involving the Monday Night Wars DVD and the clip of Bischoff training for a fight against Vince. Coach and Eric didn't like that clip and Eric is going to find out who it is. Austin comes into the shot and tells that he was the one who played that clip. Austin is actually giving a pep talk to Bischoff. Bischoff starts to run his mouth as Vince is right behind him. Vince responds to Eric's words and then leaves.

We go to Evolution's locker room as Orton and Flair give Batista a pep talk. HHH walks in and says to leave a little for Benoit. The 4 Evolution members walk out of the locker room together.

HHH music plays as the World Champ comes out in his street clothes. He comes out with all of his Evolution buddies. HHH is cutting a promo on his WrestleMania 20 Triple Threat match, that he is the game; HHH is playing the crowd and makes the point that makes WM the most important night in his career. HHH is that damn good and here comes Chris Benoit.

Benoit stops at the bottom of the ramp with a microphone in hand. HHH invites him into the ring. Benoit walks to the other end and grabs a chair and walks into the ring. Batista runs Benoit down and it's a 3 on one beating. HBK runs in and helps clean house until Benoit puts HBK in the cross face. Austin comes out on his ATV and walks off and into the ring. Austin enforces the law and says that the Batista/Benoit match is next. If anyone interferes in this match, then they won't make it to WrestleMania 20.

After the commercial break, atista/Benoit match already in progress. Benoit is dominating in the early going of this match. Batista is now in control and using a bear hug and some power moves to gain some serious control in this match. Every time Benoit tries an offensive move, Batista gets out of it or reverses it. Benoit finally hits the German Suplex and actually hits 3 more on Batista. Flying head butt attempt by Batista but Batista rolls out of the way, Batista picks Benoit up for a power bomb attempt but Benoit rolls out and gets the Cross face on Batista in the center of the ring and gets the submission victory. (Note: This is the first time Batista has ever tapped out)

The McMahon/Bischoff confrontation is mentioned as well as a Tag Title match coming next. It will be RVD & Booker T vs. La Resistance next.

We are in Bischoff's office, as Austin is giving Bischoff another pep talk. Austin is getting Bischoff all fired up and gives Bischoff 3 choices all designed to get Bischoff all worked up

RVD comes out to the ring for our next match. Out comes Booker T to his Originals music and fire pyro show.

Good back and forth Tag team action to start this off. La Resistance is dominating the early going by isolating Booker T away from RVD. Booker T finally gets some offense in and makes the hot tag to RVD. RVD and Booker T now have the Advantage. Bookend followed by the 5 Star frog splash for the victory. Conway was the legal man but Renee was pinned.

A Mick Foley interview is next, but before the commercial they show photos of Mick's battered face from last week including a really badly swollen shiner under Mick's left eye.

Trish walks into Christian's locker room and it appears that Christian is going to lay down for Trish in their match. Christian suggests that Trish lay down for him later on. Trish is confused but Christian was just testing Trish to make sure that she wasn't going to two-time on Y2J. Trish sternly tells him to not fool around with her, she was already stressed out enough with Bladewolf's obsession with her.

A recap video is playing showing last week's Foley beat down. A pre-taped interview is shown with JR and Foley. Foley is selling his injuries and looks like crap with blood in his left eye. Foley cuts a good promo here and basically says that on March 1, Mick Foley is coming to RAW.

The next match is Trish Stratus vs Christian. Trish stratus comes out and we are set for our next match.

Christian lies down and Trish gets a two count. Christian kicks out and then starts talking to Trish. Trish starts to walk away so Christian taps her butt. Christian then gives a vicious clothesline to Trish. He then helps Trish to her feet and grabs her legs and puts her in the Walls of Jericho. Christian makes her tap out but he does not release the hold.

OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!

The Devil's Wolf plays to a loud mixed reaction and the lights dim to a blood red and out comes the Bladewolf without his metallic mask or jacket, his demonic hellfire eyes gleaming in the blood red light behind his demonic wolf mask.

"And here comes the Bladewolf, I don;t think he was pleased with what he's been seeing thus far." JR said.

Bladewolf comes into the ring over the top rope as Christian backs off and presents Trish like a piece of meat ready for a lion to feast on. Bladewolf looks down at Trish and walks forward...BEFORE GRABBING CHRISTIAN BY THE THROAT! Bladewolf lifts him up...AND PLANTS HIM WITH A CHOKESLAM! Bladewolf viciously starts beating up Christian, kneeing him in the ribs and punching him in the head before throwing him out the ring and follows him.

Bladewolf picks up a steel chair and...WHACKS CHRISTIAN IN THE LEGS WITH IT! Bladewolf smacks the chair off the legs time and time again before he wraps the chair around Christian's foot...AND STOMPS ON IT!

"Oh my God..." JR said as Bladewolf sadistically continues his punishment on Christian.

Bladewolf eventually stops and grabs Christian, scoops him up...AND HITS THE TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER ON THE FLOOR!

Bladewolf gets to his feet before rolling into the ring and walks over to Trish, looking down at her. Trish looks up at him and quickly rolls out the ring but her body flares up in pain and she falls down, moaning in pain.

Bladewolf exits the ring and looks down at her, tilting his head before he scoops her up bridal style to some cheers and wolf whiustles as he walks away with Trish in his arms.

"I... I was not expecting that when Bladewolf walked out here." Jerry shook his head.

"Neither did I, King." JR said.


Hope you enjoyed that chapter.
