Chapter 19 Preview: from week on Raw, Eugene defeated Triple H in a grudge match. After the match, General Manager Stephanie McMahon stripped Vince McMahon of his Undisputed Championship and named a Championship Tournament to start next week on Raw.

The matches are as follows:

1. Eugene vs. Triple H. These two men faced off last week, with Eugene coming out on top after injuring Triple H's shoulder. What will happen this week? Will D-Generation X be around to help out the Game? Or will it be Game Over for Triple H? Find out as these two battle in a Street Fight!

2. Vince McMahon vs. Carlito. Carlito returns on Raw, after an absence. Carlito was chokeslammed from a ladder through four tables and tombstoned from that very same ladder by the Undertaker. Who knows what condition Carlito is in. Whatever the case is, Vince will have his hands full. Who can draw blood first?

3. Kane vs. Chris Masters. Last week on Raw, The Undertaker played mind games with Kane. Kane seemed spooked. Does Masters have an unfair advantage over the Big Red Machine, with the Undertaker's mind games on his side? Or can Kane put Undertaker out of his mind and defeat the Masterpiece, where falls will count anywhere in this building? This match could end up outside!

4. Shawn Michaels vs. Marty Jannety. These two will finally meet. Marty screwed HBK out of the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 22. HBK has kept to himself with the Marty situation, but with the newly reformed DX lurking, does the Heartbreak Kid have an unfair advantage? HBK will finally get his revenge, but what is the stipulation?

5. Shane McMahon vs. Edge. These two have never met. With both of these dare-devils anything can happen. Tables, ladders and chairs. Oh my!

6. Big Show vs. Mark Henry. These two behemoths will clash on Raw. The results could be catastrophic. Both men will give it their all to fall the other. The Body Slam Challenge returns. Nearly 1000 pound will be in the ring. This has the potential to become nasty.

7. Randy Orton vs. John Cena. With Saturday Night's Main Event on his mind, can Orton focus on the Doctor of Thuganomics? Can Orton "see" Cena this Monday? Or, will the Undertaker's mind games be too much in this Finisher match?

8. Over the Top Battle Royal. Other superstars will have a chance to win the Undisputed Championship. This twenty man over the top battle royal will have a hardcore twist, as weapons will be scattered through-out the ring.

Also, Torrie Wilson takes on Candice Michelle and Ashley and Trish take on Mickie James and Victoria, after Raw goes off of the air. The match results will only be here, on the WWE Chronicles.

Last week on Raw, we found out that Saturday Night's Main Event is coming back. We also learned that we haven't heard the last from the Undertaker. Taker played with the minds of both Randy Orton and Kane. Paul Bearer spooked both men and announced that at SNME, The Undertaker returns to face Kane and Orton in a handicap Hell in the Cell match.

The Tournament and much, much more LIVE next week on Raw, just two weeks away from Vengeance.

Chapter 19

The fireworks show started off the Raw show, just 13 days away from Vengeance. Stephanie McMahon came down to the ring. She got into the ring and grabbed a mic.

"Tonight is a historic night. Tonight marks the Undisputed Championship tournament. And in 13 days time...we will crown a new Undisputed Champion. Our first match tonight is...Kane vs. Chris Masters, and it is a Falls Count Anywhere match!" Stephanie said and took a ringside seat.

"The Undertaker's mind games once again costs Kane something dear to him. Kane is now out of the Undisputed Championship title run. Kane will seek revenge at Saturday Night's Main Event." JR said.

"The Big Show advances to the next round as Mark Henry is going to the emergency room!" King said. "What a slam! Can we get an instant replay on that chokeslam?"

The EMTs rushed Henry out of the ring as the Big Show walked to the backstage.

Match 3

Randy Orton vs. John Cena

Round One

Stephanie got onto the mic as the people that were laying the new canvas got out of the ring. "The next match is the Randy Orton and John Cena match. And it is a Finisher match!" she said.

Orton came out first, Saturday Night's Main Event probably on his mind. Cena came out next and slapped Orton in his face. Orton hit a snapmare on the ex-Champ. Orton hit a dropkick on Cena and then locked in a headlock. Cena powered out and pushed Orton out of the ring. The "Legend Killer" fell on his face.

Orton got to his feet and got into the ring. He kicked Cena in the balls. The ref couldn't disqualify him, so he just reprimanted him. Orton then set him up for the RKO. The lights went out. Orton dropped Cena and stared toward the ramp. The Undertaker's druids appereared at the top of the ramp. The druids walked to the ring, carring a casket. The druids opened the casket and Paul Bearer emerged! Orton ran and gave Bearer a dropkick! Orton slammed the lid shut on Bearer and kicked Cena in the balls. Orton then went back over to the lid and opened it. Bearer wasn't there.

Orton looked for Bearer, but couldn't find him. Orton went up to the top rope. He waited for Cena to get back up and came down with a dropkick. Cena pushed the ref into Orton's dropkick and the ref was knocked out cold. Orton couldn't belive it but hit the RKO on Cena. The ref wasn't coherent to see the RKO. Paul Bearer rolled into the ring and hit Orton with the Undertaker's urn. Bearer rolled back out as another referee came running down. Cena got to his feet and lifted Orton into the air and hit a F-U. The ref called for the bell. John Cena moves on to round two.

Winner

Advances to Round Two

John Cena

After the match, Cena went to the back as Bearer grabbed a mic.

"You have done it now, Randy. You have put your hands on me. In 35 Days, you will pay dearly!" Bearer said and stomped on Orton's face. Bearer walked away. Suddenly, he was turned around and RKOed! Bearer fell to the floor as the Legend Killer stood over his prone body. The lights dimmed and the bell gonged. Lightning struck the ramp. Orton got out of the ring and ran to the back as the druids helped Bearer to the back.

"Well, so far we have Chris Masters vs. The Big Show set for next week and John Cena will either face Edge or Shane McMahon.

Stephanie got on the mic again. "Well, thats something you don't see everyday. The next match is Edge vs. Shane McMahon in a TLC match!" Stephanie said as the crew put the tables, ladders and chairs around the ring. Edge came to the ring first, without Lita. "Here Comes the Money" hit the PA system and Shane O Mac came to the ring.

Match 4

Shane McMahon vs. Edge

Round One Match

Shane grabbed a table and tossed it into the ring, starting the match. Edge picked up the table and set it into a corner. Shane ran into the ring and walked into Edge's boot. Shane rolled out of the ring and grabbed a steel chair. Shane brought it into the ring. Edge took it out of the ring with a dropkick. Shane went to get it but Edge grabbed his hair and drug him into the ring and hit a DDT. Edge covered and McMahon kicked out. Edge then picked up and threw him into the table set into the corner.

Edge got to his feet and rolled out of the ring, breaking the count. Edge picked up Shane O Mac and rolled him into the ring, and then got the ladder. Edge set the ladder up and started the climb.

Edge started to crawl over to McMahon. Edge covered Shane. 1-2...Shane kicked out.

Edge looked shocked. He covered Shane again and again he kicked out. Edge picked up McMahon. Shane had a sudden burst of energy and jabbed Edge in his face. He jabbed him again and then danced around the ring. Shane hit Edge with a forearm and covered. Edge kicked out around two. Shane got to his feet and set up a table in the corner. Edge quickly got to his feet and speared Shane through the table. Edge pinned for the three count.

Winner

Edge

"Folks. John Cena will face Edge, next week on Raw. What shape will Edge be in? I have gained a lot of respect for Edge, because of this match." JR said, as Stephanie got back on the mic.

"Clear the ring. The next match will be Triple H and Eugene." Stephanie said.

"Well, before this match begins, lets take a look at the history of Eugene and Triple H." King said.

The video package played. It showed the Undisputed Championship match with Eugene and Vince McMahon, the attack on Eugene after that match and last week's match.

The video package ended and Triple H came to the ring. He stopped at the ramp, still favoring his arm. Eugene ran down after him and attacked him. The Game fell on the steel steps and Eugene gave him a dropkick to the back of the head, into the steel steps. Eugene capitalized on the injury and rolled him into the ring. Eugene covered and HHH kicked out. Eugene got to his feet and Triple H kicked him in hte gut and gave him a Pedigree. The Game covered for the quick three.

Advances to round two

Triple H

Backstage, Shawn Michaels was backstage talking to Kevin Nash. Randy Orton butted in.

"Kev, can I get a couple minutes alone with Shawn?" Orton asked.

"Yeah. Whatever. Shawn, I'll be over at my locker room prepping for the battle royal." Nash said and walked away.

"What is it, Randy?"

"I need help. Your very good at overcoming the odds. I have the Undertaker to deal with in Hell in a Cell, again. You've had to deal with Taker before. Any advice?" Orton said.

"No, Randy. I have no advice. Come to me once you have your head out of your ass. Stop being so damn arrogant and maybe, just maybe, someone will be nice to you. I hope at Saturday's Night Main Event, you get your ass handed to you by the Undertaker. You deserve it." HBK said and walked away, leaving Orton fuming.

Match 7

First Blood Match

Vince McMahon vs. Carlito

Vince came down to the ring and got into a corner. Carlito came down to the ring to a very loud pop. Vince grabbed Carlito as soon as he got into the ring and kneed him in the head. Vince took advantage of the still injured Carlito and drove a knee into the stomach.

Carlito rolled out of the ring.

"Folks, sorry if this match won't live up to your expectations. Carlito is still obviously injured." JR said.

"Vince is going to obviously win this match." King said.

Main Event

Raw went off of the air with D-X checking on Shawn Michaels.

Chapter 20 Review: from WWE. com

The RKO heard round the world

Last week on Raw, Stephanie McMahon held the first round of the Stipulation Undisputed Championship Tournament.

Earlier in the night, Randy Orton lost his match against John Cena in a finisher match. After the match, he went up to Shawn Michaels and asked if he had any advice for him, going into Saturday Night's Main Event with the Undertaker. HBK promptly told him to get his head out of his ass and to stop being so arrogant, then to come to his for advice.

HBK went out for his match with Marty Jannety. After a hard fought match, it seemed as if HBK would come out on top. HBK climbed the ladder, only to have Randy Orton give him a RKo off of the ladder, through four tables!

With 28 days left before Saturday Night's Main Event, what has Orton gotten himself into?

In other matches, Vince McMahon defeated the returning Carlito in a first blood match. Vince was cut open first, but he hid it from the referee. Triple H came down and hit Carlito with a steel chair, busting him open. After the match, The Game sent a message to McMahon by giving him a Pedigree.

The Undertaker's mind games cost both Kane and Randy Orton their matches this past week. Kane had a Falls Count Anywhere match with Chris Masters. The match found itself in the backstage area. Kane had a broom and went to utilize it on Masters but the lights turned off. They came back on and Taker's urn was there. Kane picked it up, only to succumb to the Masterlock seconds later. Randy Orton had a finisher match with John Cena. Halfway during the match, the Undertaker's druids made their way to the ring with a casket. The casket opened and Paul Bearer stepped out. Orton beat on Bearer and then hit the RKO on Cena, only to find out the ref was down. Cena eventually hit the FU on Orton, earning himself the victory.

In the Battle Royal, Stone Cold Steve Austin came out at number four and won the whole thing. After the match, Hall of Fame inductee Bret Hart came out and tossed Austin over the rope. Austin was shocked to find out that Bret got him tournament spot.

In other matches, Triple H made short work of Eugene. Triple H advanced in the tournament, but what condition will he be in with the injured shoulder? In a TLC match, Edge beat Shane McMahon in an early Match of the Year candidate. And in an odd twist, Big Show defeated Mark Henry in a Body Slam Challenge by giving him a chokeslam THROUGH the mat.

And in a exclusive, Torrie Wilson defeated Candice Michelle with a Nose Job. And, Ashley and Trish beat Mickie James and Victoria, after Ashley gave Mickie a powerbomb.

Our confirmed matches for next week are:

1. Chris Masters vs. Big Show. These two will meet in a submission match!

2. John Cena vs. Edge. These two bitter rival face-off in a hardcore match.

3. Vince McMahon vs. Marty Jannety. These two will face off in a Chair on a Pole match. The first man to grab the chair off of the pole and hit their opponent will be the winner.

4. Triple H vs. Bret Hart. These two will fight inside a Steel Cage!

5. Torrie Wilson, Ashley Massaro and Trish Stratus vs. Mickie James, Victoria and Candice Michelle in a 6-Women Bra and Panties Tag Team Elimination Match.

Vengeance is only 13 days away and Saturday Night's Main Event is 26 days away.
