NOVEMBER 22, 2004 - MONDAY NIGHT RAW

After a spectacular week of WWE television, RAW looks to continue that trend with a huge main event with John Cena challenging Chris Benoit for the United States Title! Plus, the #1 contender tournament for a shot at Trish Stratus' Women's Title kicks off, a six-man tag match featuring three of the huge matches already signed for Starrcade on December 26th, and an appearance by WWE Chairman Eric Bischoff to discuss the fate of the Intercontinental and World Tag Team Titles!

We kick off with a triple-threat match to kick off the Women's Title contender tournament as Mickie James, Jacqueline, and Shaniqua go at it. Good crowd reaction because Mickie is insanely over, but the match itself isn't anything to write home about. Mickie hits Jacqueline with the Mick Kick to pick up the win and advance to the semifinals.

Payne has been on a roll since his recent debut, but tonight he butts up against one of the most brutal competitors on the RAW roster, William Regal. Payne picks up the win with a powerbomb, but Regal retains some heat, laying him out with the Power of the Punch after the bell.

A video plays hyping the WWE Tag Team Champions La Resistance. I'd love to get these guys over, 'cause I don't have a lot of high-overness tag teams.

Two men who have been struggling in the midcard lately, Charlie Haas and Sean O'Haire, do battle next to try and regain some momentum. It's a pretty solid match, but both guys have lost a step or two during their slide down the card. Eventually O'Haire puts Haas away with the Prophecy to pick up the win.

ECW Originals Lance Storm and Tommy Dreamer have been engaged in a mini-feud with NBM members Chuck Palumbo and Johnny Stamboli for months now, and their in-ring chemistry continues to impress tonight. Lots of back-and-forth action until Lance Storm blasts Palumbo with a superkick to get the three-count.

United States Champion Chris Benoit is backstage, and he's got a huge title defense tonight against John Cena, but first he wants to talk about the tag match from Friday night when Rey Mysterio pinned him. Benoit's going to be on SmackDown! this week, and Mysterio had better watch his back because last week was a fluke, even though everybody seems to think Rey has Benoit's number. Friday night, he's going to prove them wrong.

The Women's Title contender tournament continues, and we now know that the winner of this match will face Mickie James in two weeks on RAW. Gail Kim and Jazz put on a pretty solid match that allows both Divas to show off their skills until Jazz manages to get Gail to tap out to the STF.

Rob Van Dam and Shelton Benjamin are two of the most exciting stars on RAW, and tonight they take on two of the most violent, the Natural Born Ministry's Undertaker and Damien! Really good match that lets all four guys get their spots in. During a moment of confusion, Randy Orton hits the ring and blasts RVD with the RKO behind the ref's back allowing Damien to pick up the cheap win. After the match, Orton joins the Ministry members to triple-team RVD and Shelton, mostly focusing on Van Dam.

Eric Bischoff is backstage and he once again has the Intercontinental and World Tag Team Titles with him. He mentioned on Friday that the process to determine new champions would begin this week on SmackDown!, and he's here to announce the specifics. First, the tag titles will be up for grabs in a triple threat match as a trio of former champions go at it. It's going to be the Dudley Boyz against Los Guerreros against the Metro Connection! Also this Friday, sixteen of the top Superstars will begin a tournament that will culminate at Starrcade and a new Intercontinental Champion will be crowned!

The first half of our double main event is up next as Eddie Guerrero teams with the top champions in WWE, Rhyno and The Rock to take on their respective Starrcade opponents Chris Jericho, Brock Lesnar, and Tajiri! The faces use quick tags to isolate Jericho early, but once Jericho makes a tag to Tajiri, the heels manage to triple-team Rhyno for a while. Eventually, Eddie and Jericho wind up in the ring and Guerrero hits a swinging DDT to pick up the win!

And now for our main event! Big match feel for Benoit versus Cena, but unfortunately it's marred by interference from Christian, which sets up Benoit to clamp on the Crippler Crossface to pick up the submission victory. Benoit holds up the title as RAW goes off the air.
