Week 2

SmackDown side…

RVD and Mysterio are walking down the locker room. They just fought against the Bashams and they won with the 619 and Frogsplash combo.

"Hey Rob, nice match tonight huh? We showed the Bashams all about us, right?" said Rey.

"That's right Rey," replied RVD, "we really are the dominant tag team nowadays in SmackDown!"

Then two men walked in. The other one was Japanese and the other one was French. They were the former Tag Team Champs Kenzo Suzuki and Rene Dupree.

"Hey, RVD! I heard you say 'the dominant huh'?" said The French Phenom.

"You two are nothing compared to us!" said Kenzo, "your win against us are just all about luck!"

"Then why don't we settle the match tonight? We should ask Mr. Long about a Tag Team Match…" said RVD.

Then Kenzo grabbed RVD in the face for the Claw Hold STO. It connects as Rene Clotheslines Rey. Both are laughing as they walk out of the locker room.

RVD and Rey rushes to Theodore Long. Then RVD exclaimed, "Look at what they've done to us, Mr. Long! We demand a match here, right now!"

Then Mr. Long said, "Well, you've got yourself a Normal Tag Team Match tonight against Suzuki and Dupree… and it's for the WWE Tag Titles!" The crowd went wild, as Theodore Long announced the main event!

RVD and Mysterio go against Suzuki and Dupree

Now, the match starts… RVD goes first with his yin-yang entrance, following the "Rob Van Dam" chant by the fans.

Next comes the master of 619 Rey Mysterio with the hip-hop entrance. Fans go really wild but until the entrance of the unusual tag team.

The two tag team members both go to the ring with Dupree's music on.

"And now starts the main event!" exclaimed Tazz, "no Hiroko here now. Might be on vacation."

The bell rings, as the first one to fight is RVD and Rene Dupree. Dupree goes for the clothesline but RVD evades. Rene goes for the ropes, only to be elbowed by Mr. Thursday Night. RVD goes for the feint kick. He goes for the Rolling Thunder. Then goes for the pin but Dupree kicks out at two. This time, Dupree connects a Death Valley Driver then tags to Kenzo.

RVD struggles and goes for a tag, but Suzuki punishes him with major chops. He then toe kicks RVD then goes for the snap suplex. He Irish Whips Rob to the turnbuckle resulting in a fatal back damage. Rey calls for a tag but Rene comes to punch the master of the 619. Rob Van Dam then was grasped by the Bronze Warrior for the Claw Hold STO. But Van Dam counters and goes now for the tag with Rey. Mysterio clotheslines Kenzo. Dupree tries to come but Rey does a Hurrancarrana to him. Suzuki tries to punches Rey but Rey executes the Drop Toe Hold move to the ropes. Looks like the 619's going to connect but Rene disturbs Rey. Rey now tags back to RVD.

First, Mysterio takes care of Dupree by sending him a Hurrancarrana to DDT. RVD then Drop Kicks Kenzo to the ropes and calls for Mysterio. Mysterio then connects with the 619, and then follows up for the Five – Star Frogsplash by Van Dam. Then for the cover, 1… 2! Suzuki kicks out at 2. Now Mysterio does again a 619 to Kenzo, followed by the Rolling Thunder. Rey does the Hurrancarrana to Kenzo then RVD with the second Frogsplash! Then 1… 2… 3! RVD and Mysterio wins!

Mysterio grabs a microphone and tells the people, "Now you see what the high – flying team of Mr. Thursday Night and the Master of the 619 are made of!" The crowd roar as this edition of SmackDown is finished. But, what's this? Theodore Long comes out. "Well, fans! I forgot to announce that the high – flying team of RVD and Mysterio will face the unusual tag team in Wrestlemania, in a Tornado Tag Steel Cage Match!" This made the fans go wild, now noise is spread to the stadium!

RAW side…

"Welcome to Monday Night RAW and I'm Jim Ross with Jerry "the King" Lawler at ringside!" announced JR.

"Hey, JR, the main event for tonight's show is the Intercontinental Championship!" said King, "the show starts with a 4 – Man Elimination Tournament Matches for the Number 1 Contendership for the Intercontinental Champion!"

"And now, the first match is Kane VS Chris Jericho in a singles match. And now comes Y2J with his entrance!" announced JR.

Y2J comes to the ring with an impact to the crowd, as usual. Then fans chant the "Y2J". But they don't know that Kane is the opponent of Y2J because they are carried away.

Now comes Kane with his scary and horrifying entrance. His finale will be the flames of hell.

Then the 1st match starts with Y2J clotheslining Kane. Kane was hit, but recovers easily. He made a Throat Thrust to Chris Jericho, following a Big Boot to the face. The Big Red Machine continues the big assault. But Y2J counters a mistaken move by Kane and takes advantage. Jericho connects now with a deadly Enzuigiri. And now for the cover, 1… 2! Kane kicks out at two but Y2J does a fast Lionsault then goes for the Walls! Kane is in great pain!

The torture lasted for five long minutes, which is almost an hour to Kane. But Kane recovers. An angry Kane punished Y2J. Throat Thrusts, Big Boots, Sidewalk Slams and all that Kane have were used to Jericho.

Then Kane takes it to the next level… he now used the long forgotten move of his, the Tombstone Piledriver. He connects it, and then he raises his opponent. All Kane sees is a dummy with no life as he used his patented Powerbomb. He then goes for the vital Chokeslam to Jericho. The fans thought this is the end of their favorite's torture, but to no avail. The Big Red Machine added insult to injury, as he made Jericho tap out with his own finishing maneuver, the Walls of Jericho. Kane won, but all of the fans were silenced, as they watch a hell match, not a singles match. The Big Red Machine grinned and RAW knew that this was the awakening what the Flames is all about.

"My God, King! If I were there, I was good s dead!" exclaimed JR.

"You are right JR, but I'm sure glad that Kane did not use that steel chair. My gosh, Y2J was needed to be taken out with a stretcher? Oh, my!" said King.

"The second match was about to begin with Christian, going against what? There's no second person?" asked JR.

The one who came was no other than Kane, beating down supposedly opponent Gene Snitsky. Kane instead rushed down and did a Chokeslam to Christian, and won. He went again for Snitsky, whom he threw to Christian. The two tried to fight back, but they suffered the Double Chokeslam. The carnage ended as the result was Kane being the Number One Contender for the Intercontinental Championship.

Then, Shelton came out. This was the third match for Kane. Shelton Benjamin rushed and he continued to do a flurry of punches to Kane. Kane countered a kick from Benjamin, but it was a bait for a Dragon Whip. It connects and Kane was fatigued. Shelton went for the Flying Clothesline to Kane, connects then he goes for the T – Bone Suplex and wins against Kane.

Eric Bischoff comes out and tells everybody, "Kane impressed me so far with his new attitude, so the Intercontinental Champion will defend it against Kane in a Hell in a Cell match!" Shelton Benjamin enjoyed what Bischoff said as he wants to fight Kane again, fair and square, fresh and ready to rumble.
