JANUARY 17, 2005 - MONDAY NIGHT RAW

“I'm ba-ack!” The show kicks off with WWE Chairman Eric Bischoff making his way to the ring. We're six weeks away from Superbrawl, and we've already got a handful of matches booked. Tonight's main event will feature the eight men who've already punched their tickets as World Champion Rhyno will team with WWE Champion The Rock, Intercontinental Champion John Cena, and Eddie Guerrero to take on their respective Superbrawl opponents Chris Jericho, Christian, Tajiri, and Cruiserweight Champion Matt Hardy Version 2.0. And, just because he feels like shaking things up as the Road to WrestleMania 21 rolls on... whoever takes the fall tonight is out of the Elite! Bah Gawd, Steve! Can you believe it?!?

Since joining the Natural Born Ministry, Haas has seemingly turned his career around. Betraying his longtime friend and partner Shelton Benjamin has given him new life, including a spot in the final four of the Royal Rumble eight days ago. Tonight, he teams with his new mentor Sean O'Haire to take on Benjamin and a man who knows a thing or two about O'Haire... A-Train! Decent tag match with all four guys getting in their spots. Eventually, though, O'Haire gets the better of Benjamin with the Prophecy to pick up the win. Afterwards, both teams brawl into the crowd and this is clearly far from over!

Chris Benoit is backstage, and he's holding his Money In The Bank briefcase that he won at King of the Ring last June. He talks about waiting. He's sat on this title opportunity for more than half a year, and he's prepared to sit and wait even longer. Because he's gone his entire career hearing people say that he'd never make it to that “next level.” He was too small to fight with the heavyweights. He was too big to fight the cruisers. He was too technical to catch on in WWE. But he outlasted 31 of the top superstars in the company (including a win in the finals against the current WWE Champion) last summer, and soon, very soon, he's going to cash in and do what everyone knew he never would. Because it took Eric Bischoff believing in him and making him a charter member of the Elite to light this fire under him, but soon enough he'll have no choice but to start building the entire company in his image. And he can't wait to prove. You. Wrong.

Last week, Paul London's RAW debut was interrupted by the Ministry's rookie monster Damien, who was thrilled to have some “new meat.” Tonight, they go one-on-one, and the winner will be the #1 contender for the United States Title! London looks good in his first official RAW match, but he eventually – like so many others before him – falls victim to Damien's brutal chokeslam.

Eric Bischoff appears on the TitanTron and announces that Damien has earned himself a date with U.S. Champion Rey Mysterio at Superbrawl! Damien flashes a demonic grin. He just devoured one cruiserweight, and in six weeks, he gets a shot at another!

Two of the hardest-hitting superstars in WWE go at it next as Rob Van Dam takes on Brock Lesnar, and they don't disappoint! RVD gets a hot nearfall after a frankensteiner off the top rope. Lesnar gets one after a sick jumping powerbomb. Eventually, RVD goes for one of his back kicks, but Lesnar ducks it and rolls him up... grabbing a handful of tights! The ref misses the tights and awards Lesnar the cheap pinfall victory! RVD jumps Lesnar after the bell for a measure of revenge and drives him to the ramp.

RVD asks for the ringside mic, and he tells Lesnar that if he wants to try to prove that he's still in that upper tier by making an example of somebody, he picked the wrong guy. What do you say we do this again at Superbrawl? Lesnar accepts, and we've got another big match!

We heard from Chris Benoit earlier, and he's in action next against Rey Mysterio (who we now know will face Damien at Superbrawl). Fantastic match with lots of high-flying and high-impact offense. Unfortunately, the ending is marred by the interference of Matt Hardy Version 2.0, who blasts Mysterio with a steel chair, resulting in a disqualification. After the match, the two heel Elite members go to work on Rey!

Eddie Guerrero is backstage, and he cuts a promo about Tajiri. Tajiri did a number on him last week on RAW, and their issue is clearly far from over. Eddie may not be 100%, but he's excited to be in the same ring as Tajiri tonight and to get a little measure of revenge!

Back from break, Vitamin C are already in the ring for our main event, and they cut a promo on their main-event opponents. Mostly comedy stuff, but these guys are both gold on the mic, and they sell their respective feuds and the match itself.

The main event is, as you would probably expect, a little bit of a clusterfuck trying to build up the respective matches for Superbrawl. Cena got his hands on Tajiri, Eddie brawled with Hardy, and Rhyno and The Rock both got their hands on Jericho, though Christian managed to elude The Rock. Nobody wanted to give up their slot in the Elite (and, with it, the right to appear on both RAW and SmackDown!), which led to some unusual teamwork. Eventually, though, The Rock managed to get himself alone in the ring with the Cruiserweight Champion, and drove Matt Hardy Version 2.0 out of the Elite with the Rock Bottom!
