SEPTEMBER 15, 2003 - Monday Night Raw

Less than two weeks away from Unforgiven, the pay-per-view card should continue to take shape tonight as we determine a new #1 contender for Triple H's World Heavyweight Title!

The evening opens with a sort of re-imagining of one of the greatest tag-team rivalries of all time. The World Tag Team Champion Dudley Boyz take on Christian and Matt Hardy! D-Von is isolated early as the former rivals show surprising continuity. D-Von manages to duck a Hardy clothesline to tag in his brother. Bubba goes to work on Hardy, until Christian tags in and hits a brainbuster. Matt comes in and scoops Bubba up, but accidentally clips Christian with Bubba's feet! That miscommunication is all the champs need, as one Bubba Bomb later, the Dudleyz walk out with the win. Afterwards, Christian gets in Hardy's face, blaming him for the loss.

Backstage, Ric Flair is hyping up Batista, saying that tonight he's going to show Rob Van Dam who the real Mister Monday Night is!

Pretty good back-and-forth match, everybody getting in their shots until RVD shows his experience advantage, blocking a suplex and turning it into a neckbreaker. Moments later, the Five-Star Frogsplash results in a victory for the Whole F'ing Show. Afterwards, Batista assaults RVD, throwing him from the ring. We haven't seen the last of these two.

World Champion Triple H is up next for a non-title match against Booker T. The crowd was way into this one, which is good, because the match itself was pretty subpar. HHH picks up another victory with his Main Event Sleeper. After the match, Chris Jericho rushes the ring with a chair and lays Booker out. These two will meet up at Unforgiven, but can they manage to keep from tearing each other apart for two weeks?

Trish Stratus looks for revenge against Victoria, who assaulted her with a chair last week. This match delivers on its promise as two of the best female wrestlers of this or any generation put on a clinic. Trish spends most of the match brawling, while Victoria uses bulldogs and headlocks to try and out-wrestle her. In the end, Trish lands Stratusfaction for the victory!

After the match, Trish is again assaulted from behind, this time by the Women's Champion Molly Holly! Molly lays out Trish with the belt and stands over her.

Goldberg takes on Scott Steiner in our next match, and - well - it's about what you'd expect. Goldberg picks up the win with the Jackhammer. Afterwards, Kane assaults Goldberg. What is the Big Red Machine's fascination with Goldberg?

Up next, it's yet another MATCH OF THE YEAR CANDIDATE as Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho go one-on-one. The two trade kicks and aerial assaults. At one point, Jericho manages to hit a superkick of his own on HBK. Michaels manages to swing things back in his favor, though, as he tunes up the band for Sweet Chin Music. However, Randy Orton drags Michaels out of the ring, resulting in a disqualification. Orton slams Michaels into the ring post, and now it's a two-on-one. Suddenly, Booker T hits the ring with a steel chair, chasing the heels off!

Michaels grabs a microphone and calls out Orton. If he wants a fight, he'll get one at Unforgiven! Orton accepts. We have an Intercontinental Title match!

And now it's the finals of the #1 contender tournament, pitting The Rock against Kane! The Rock has already knocked off Rob Van Dam and Goldberg, while Kane beat Shawn Michaels and got a bye to this match due to the Booker/Jericho draw. The two start out brawling before turning to slams, full nelsons, and lariats. In the end, Rock manages to clamp on the Sharpshooter. Kane struggles for a long time before finally having to give in to the pain and tap out. The Rock is going to Unforgiven! After the match, Goldberg hits the ring and lays out Kane with the Jackhammer.

Eric Bischoff makes it official on the TitanTron - in two weeks, it's The Rock vs. Triple H for the World Heavyweight Title!

Coming off the heels of a tremendous RAW, next week's RAW could wind up being even bigger! A huge six-man main event has been signed, pitting The Rock, Shawn Michaels, and Rob Van Dam against Evolution's Triple H, Randy Orton, and Batista! But first, The Rock and Triple H will sign the contract that makes their Unforgiven World Title match official! Also, Trish Stratus challenges Molly Holly for the Women's Title. Also, Goldberg versus Jericho, Booker T versus Kane, and so much more!
