NOVEMBER 10, 2003 - Monday Night RAW
Just six days away from the 2003 Survivor Series, the World Tag Team Titles will be on the line, team captains will do battle, two Divas will flaunt what they've got in a bikini contest, and our main event will pit the four top performers in last week's battle royal in a tag-team war!
Last week, Boss Man was pummeling the SuperHero In Training, when Rosey got a surprise assist from none other than the debuting Nova! Tonight, Nova has his first WWE match against Boss Man.
Nova leads off with a kick, a suplex, then a springboard dropkick for two. Flying axe handle off the top for two more. He tries a clothesline, but Boss Man ducks it and hits one of his own, followed by a bulldog. He sets up a suplex, but Nova blocks it and hits a rana. Nova then lands the Kryptonite Krunch to win his debut!
Up next, Spike Dudley faces the unenviable task of going up against Test. Test starts off hot with punches, a neckbreaker, and a slam. Spike fights him off with a mule kick, then strikes and a bulldog for two. He foolishly tries a piledriver, and the much larger man backdrops out of it. Test hits a powerslam for two. Then a big clothesline for two more. He drops down for a backdrop, but Spike kicks him in the face, then hits some more strikes. He attempts another piledriver, and again gets backdropped. More strikes from Test before finishing him with the Big Boot.
Test's tag team partner Scott Steiner hopes to continue their momentum as he takes on the ECW Original, the Innovator of Violence, Tommy Dreamer. Dreamer starts with punches, but gets mule kicked away. Steiner now punches back and hits a spinebuster for two. He goes for a slam, but Tommy fights out of it. Slam and piledriver get two. Spear gets two. Steiner hits a kick to the midsection and a piledriver of his own for two. Tommy fights out of a sleeper with a jawbreaker, then lands the Dreamer DDT for the win! Tommy celebrates the victory, but Steiner jumps him and lands the Steiner Spiral.
Val Venis is walking backstage when he's cut off by Rico. Rico tells him that last week, he had an epiphany. He's admired Val's... cinematic prowess for years. He's one of his favorites. He loves to watch him in action. And since we're both better known for what we do than who we are, maybe we should... you know... team up. Val looks at Rico for a long moment, then laughs and walks away, leaving Rico crushed.
Up next is the next step in the budding Hurricane/Matt Hardy feud, as the two go one-on-one in a preview of their Survivor Series match. Hurricane hits a flying axe handle from the second rope, then a super kick for two. He goes for another kick, but Matt blocks it and hits a pair of dropkicks for two. Shoulder slam gets two more. Hard back suplex. Hurricane fights out of a headlock and lands a face crusher for two. Dropkick to the knee, then a big spinning kick to the jaw. Matt fights out of a slam and lands a neckbreaker and a back heel kick from the second rope. When Hurricane gets to his feet, Matt grabs him and nails the Twist Of Fate for the win.
In six days, Stacy Keibler and Miss Jackie will be on opposing Survivor Series teams, but tonight Stacy looks to go one-up on the woman who attacked her last week on RAW by beating Jackie in a bikini contest! Stacy is out first, and the crowd loves her. Her bikini definitely accentuates her... ahem notable lower-body assets. Miss Jackie is next, and her very very skimpy bikini is a hit with the crowd, but it's clear from the crowd reaction who the winner is. Stacy is declared the winner, and Jackie looks on with disgust.
Up next, it's a battle of the big men as Goldberg takes on Batista. Batista kicks, strikes, slams, and punches Goldberg. Goldberg blocks a kick, then lands punches of his own and a clothesline for two. Batista reverses a hip toss, then lands a bulldog for two. DDT for two. He sets up for the Batista Bomb, but Goldberg backdrops out of it. Kick from Goldberg, but Batista fights out of a headlock and lands a punch. He whips Goldberg off the ropes, but he runs into a chair that Kane has swung up from ringside. Where did he come from?!? Goldberg staggers forward, right into the Batista Bomb! Batista wins! Goldberg is quickly to his feet, and right on top of Kane, nailing him with a Jackhammer, leveling his old rival.
Goldberg grabs the microphone and tells Kane that he had better hope that one of them gets eliminated at Survivor Series, because if they both make it to the main event, Kane is going to need to be stretchered out because he's next!
The Dudley Boyz have proven over the last couple of months that they are indeed fighting champions, defending the World Tag Team Titles tonight against William Regal and his latest attempt at finding a tag partner, Christian. D-Von starts off by striking Regal, then slamming him for two. Tag to Bubba, and they hit a double back elbow for two more. Bubba hits a spinning neckbreaker, but misses legdrop. Regal lands a reverse DDT for two, then tags in Christian. Christian lands a suplex for a long two, then a dropkick. He misses a legdrop, and eats a running knee lift from Bubba. D-Von tags back in and goes to work on Christian. Regal tags in, but gets slammed. D-Von sends Regal off the ropes, and Bubba sneaks into the ring... 3D! And the champs retain again!
This Sunday night, Rob Van Dam will captain Team Extreme against Triple H's Game Changers. Tonight, they will go one-on-one to try to establish momentum. HHH starts with a right hand, then more strikes, and a pair of slams. RVD kicks HHH in the midsection, then lands a DDT, and a spinning armdrag for two. He attempts an avalanche, but HHH gets a boot up, then lands a bulldog for two. DDT for two. RVD slides out of a slam and lands a dropkick. RVD misses a legdrop, and HHH capitalizes with a neckbreaker and the Pedigree for the win. After the match, RVD pushes the referee aside, slams HHH, and nails him with the Five-Star Frogsplash for a measure of revenge.
Our main event of the evening pits the four men with the most eliminations in last week's battle royal against each other as the World Champion The Rock teams with Shawn Michaels to take on Chris Jericho and the Intercontinental Champion Randy Orton. Conveniently enough, these men will be on opposing teams this Sunday at the Survivor Series! Rock goes to work on Jericho with a right hand and a big backdrop for a quick two. Tag to HBK, then a double suplex for two. HBK hits a dropkick to the knee, but Y2J fights out of a piledriver attempt. High-flying from Jericho gets two, then a tag to Orton. RKO hits his longtime rival with a spear for two, then a slam. Shockingly, he applies a rest hold, but HBK turns it into a jawbreaker. Dropkick to Orton, then a tag to Rock. Rock smacks Orton down a bit, and RKO tags in Jericho. Rock slams him down. The ref is still distracted by Orton, and doesn't see... MY GOD, KING! IT'S BOOKER T! HE'S BACK! Jericho notices the man he laid out several weeks ago just a little too late, as Booker T hits the Book End to lay him out! The Rock goes for the cover as the ref turns back around. He counts to three, and Rock and HBK pick up the win! Book sets up for another Book End, but Triple H hits the ring to chase Booker, HBK, and his longtime rival The Rock out as RAW goes off the air.
Less than a week from now, it's going to be the People's Team (Rock, Michaels, Booker, Goldberg, and Hurricane) against the Peepulation (Christian, Hardy, Steiner, Test, and Regal). Team Extreme (RVD, Dreamer, and the Dudleyz) against the Game Changers (Evolution, Kane, and Jericho). Plus, the survivors of those matches will go on to the big interbrand main event! You don't want to miss Survivor Series this Sunday night, only on pay-per-view!
