AUGUST 9, 2004 - MONDAY NIGHT RAW

Thirteen days away from Summerslam, and a huge main event has been signed - former World Champion Kurt Angle taking on the 2004 King of the Ring, Chris Benoit! Plus, a preview of Summerslam's fatal fourway for the United States Title as champion Rob Van Dam takes on Chris Jericho in a non-title match.

The night kicks off with a ten-man battle royal featuring the RAW midcard. La Resistance's Sylvan Grenier is the first casualty, courtesy of Natural Born Ministry member Johnny Stamboli. Stamboli's partner Palumbo takes care of Rob Conway shortly thereafter. And completing the trifecta of La Res eliminations, William Regal eliminates Rene Dupree. Stamboli is the next victim, courtesy of Val Venis, then fellow NBM member Shawn Stasiak gets taken out by Charlie Haas. Hass then gets taken out by Venis to give us a final four of Palumbo, Regal, Venis, and A-Train. Regal takes out Palumbo. Val eliminates Train, and then Regal uses his Power of the Punch to take out Venis for the win.

Backstage, Rhyno is walking down a corridor when he's stopped by Undertaker, his Summerslam opponent. Taker again reiterates that he's going to avenge his WrestleMania loss to Rhyno in two weeks, while Rhyno says that he's going to do what his friend Edge has failed to do all summer, beat Undertaker on pay-per-view.

Big Show and Kane, the Ministry's Monsters, make their way to the ring with their WWE Tag Team Title belts for a non-title match with ECW Originals Lance Storm and Tommy Dreamer. If Storm and Dreamer can pick up a win, they'll earn a title match next week. Unfortunately for them, though, Show and Kane simply overpower them, resulting in Dreamer eating a double chokeslam for the loss.

Rob Van Dam cuts a brief promo on Randy Orton and Canadian Violence and the fatal fourway for his United States Title at Summerslam. RVD has had a firm grip on the gold since winning it from Sean O'Haire two months ago. And he's going to run through all three opponents at Summerslam.

The Divas are out next for an eight-woman tag match. Women's Champion Mickie James captains a team made up of Lita, Trish Stratus, and Victoria against Gail Kim, Jacqueline, Jazz, and Shaniqua. Trish Stratus gets the isolation treatment from the heels through the middle of the match. Eventually, it comes down to Mickie and Jazz. Amidst some confusion, Molly Holly hits the ring and lays the champ out with the Molly-Go-Round allowing Jazz to pick up a cheap win.

It's Chris Benoit and Chris Jericho's turn to hype themselves up as they cut a promo on their chances at winning the United States Title at Summerslam. They tease a bit of tension, but they're on the same page heading into Summerslam.

Up next, two men on the verge of superstardom clash as Shelton Benjamin takes on Randy Orton. They put on a very exciting match that unfortunately gets marred by Damien chokeslamming Shelton resulting in a DQ victory.

Damien remains in the ring for what should be a hard-hitting encounter with the manbeast Rhyno. These two go to war, throwing forearms, slams, spears, neckbreakers, you name it. Eventually, Rhyno - like everyone else not named Shelton Benjamin - succumbs to the chokeslam. After the match, Benjamin blasts Damien with a superkick for a measure of revenge.

World Champion Sean O'Haire is out next to cut a promo on Kurt Angle. Last week, Angle said that he would leave World Wrestling Entertainment forever if he couldn't take the World Title from O'Haire at Summerslam. O'Haire's business is not ending careers. But if that's what Angle wants, that's what he'll get. Angle's day is done. Sean O'Haire is the future of this industry, and he's going to prove it by walking out of Summerslam still the World Champion. But he's not telling us anything we don't already know.

It's RVD versus Y2J next, just 13 days before they make up half of the United States Title match at Summerslam. They put on a very exciting high-flying match that unfortunatley comes to an abrupt end as Randy Orton hits the ring, resulting in a three-way brawl that requires an army of officials to break up. Shockingly, Jericho's partner Chris Benoit never bothered to make the save...

And now for our main event. Even when Angle and Benoit both phone it in, they tear the house down! Suplexes, jawbreakers, hammerlocks, headbutts, spears, dropkicks, tigerbombs, an Emerald Fusion... They pull out all the stops. Eventually, Angle gets Benoit onto the mat and clamps on the Angle Lock. But before Benoit can tap out, Sean O'Haire is in the ring, and he lays Angle out with the Prophecy! The referee calls for the bell as the World Champion stands tall as RAW goes off the air.
