DECEMBER 22, 2003 - Monday Night RAW

Just six days away from Armageddon, and tonight RAW announces the rest of that card. We figure out which two superstars will do battle for the vacant Intercontinental Title, four men will qualify for the Royal Rumble, and long-time rivals will compete in tag-team action!

The show opens with a Royal Rumble qualifying match pitting Hurricane against Boss Man. Boss Man has struggled in recent weeks, and tonight was really no exception. He manages to get in a couple of power moves, but Hurricane's speed was just too much, and he puts him away with the Shining Wizard to become the first RAW superstar to advance to the field of 30.

Up next is a match that promises to be a technical masterpiece as Lance Storm takes on William Regal! Excellent back-and-forth match ends with Regal taking the cheap way out and landing Power of the Punch for the victory.

The World Tag Team Champions the Dudley Boyz are out next for a match with La Resistance, but the titles aren't on the line tonight. The winners of tonight's match will both qualify for next month's Royal Rumble match. The Dudleyz control the early going, cutting Dupree off from his partner. When Grenier finally tags in, he blows an elbow drop, which allows the Dudleyz to take control. Dupree manages to get a tag back in, but eats a 3-D and Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley are going to the Rumble!

Backstage, Rico is just hanging out when he's approached by Val Venis. Venis goes off on him - "Why the hell are you stalking me? Don't you get it? I don't want anything to do with you! Stay the hell away from me!" Rico denies up and down that he had anything to do with Val being assaulted last week, but Val doesn't believe him and storms off.

And now the final chapter in what's been the most lackluster feud in all of World Wrestling Entertainment - Goldberg versus Kane. Tonight, there are two prizes at stake - a spot in the Royal Rumble... and your career! That's right, it's an I Quit match, where the winner gets a 1-in-30 shot at a title shot and the loser has to leave WWE! Yet another absolutely shitty match between the two ends when Kane improbably clamps on an ankle lock. Goldberg has no choice but to say the two words that no man ever wants to say, "I quit!" As the fans start to sing "Na na na na," Kane offers Goldberg a "Well, you tried your best" handshake. Goldberg looks at Kane's hand, spits on him, and walks away.

In six days, The Rock will face Triple H for the World Title, but tonight both men have picked tag-team partners. H will team with his Evolution mate Batista, while The Rock will face the man who has given Bats more than he can chew the last few weeks - Tommy Dreamer. The Armageddon opponents start the match, but Batista quickly tags in, and Evolution presses their advantage. Dreamer gets the hot tag and piledrives Batista and a big clothesline before Batista strikes him back. Both partners tag back in, and Triple H nails Rock with a neckbreaker, then hooks the tights during the pin and the ref doesn't see it! Cheap win for HHH just days before his title shot, but they're not done!

Our first semifinal match in the Intercontinental Title tournament is up next as Chris Jericho (who has defeated Lance Storm and Goldberg to get to this point) takes on Matt Hardy Version 1.0 (who holds victories over Mark Henry, Nova, and Hurricane). All four men brawl up the aisle and to the back. Very good back-and-forth match that the crowd unfortunately wasn't all that into, since both men are heels. As the match winds down, Booker T takes advantage of a distracted referee to lay Jericho out with a steel chair, allowing Matt to hit the Twist of Fate to advance to the title match! Afterwards, Jericho gets the chair away from Booker and hits him with it!

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa WHOA!" As Jericho and Batista continue to brawl, Eric Bischoff has come out onto the ramp. "You two are driving me insane! I put all this work into putting together an amazing tournament for the Intercontinental Title, and you two have been sabotaging it from the get-go, just to get your hands on each other! Well, at Armageddon, I'm happy to oblige. But this is it. One man wins, one man loses, and you're done with each other. And to make it more interesting, I'm going to hang a briefcase above the ring. And inside that briefcase is a World Title shot at the Royal Rumble. Whoever can climb that ladder first and pull down the briefcase gets their shot at the title. The loser has to suck it up and move on!"

And now to determine Hardy's Armageddon opponent, Rob Van Dam (who has had the toughest road to the Final Four, having defeated Test, Batista, and Christian) faces Shawn Michaels (who has pinned Triple H and Rico to get here). These two put on a pretty good match, but the crowd still really isn't into it. Good back-and-forth match that ends with RVD pulling off the upset with the Five-Star Frogsplash! After the match, HBK goes to congratulate him, but Christian hits the ring and levels him with a chair!

HBK manages to fight back and grab a microphone, challenging Christian to a match at Armageddon. It's accepted!

Before we go off the air, Eric Bischoff confirms that it will be Rob Van Dam versus Matt Hardy Version 1.0 for the vacant Intercontinental Title at Armageddon!

Armageddon is just six days away, and the card is set - The Rock versus Triple H in a Last Man Standing Match for the World Heavyweight Title! The winner will go on to the Royal Rumble to defend the gold against the winner of the Booker T/Chris Jericho Ladder Match! Plus, Rob Van Dam versus Matt Hardy for the Intercontinental Title and Shawn Michaels versus Christian!
