JANUARY 31, 2005 - MONDAY NIGHT RAW

Brock Lesnar's quest to destroy Rob Van Dam's past on the way to destroying his future continues as RAW opens tonight. Tonight, Lesnar faces one of RVD's best friends, Tommy Dreamer. As soon as the bell rings, Lesnar goes on the attack. Big punches, a butterfly suplex, then a Russian legsweep. Dreamer comes back with a slam and an old-school ECW-style piledriver, but Lesnar fights right back with a spear and a big DDT for a nearfall. Big kick to the stomach to set up the F-5 and Lesnar picks up another win. After the match, RVD hits the ring and lays Lesnar out before hitting the Five-Star Frogsplash and standing over his rival.

Back from commercial, Tommy Dreamer and Rob Van Dam are two of twenty men in the ring. Tommy's definitely feeling the effects of his beating at Lesnar's hands, but now one of the mid/upper-midcarders in the ring will become the newest member of the Elite! As soon as the bell rings, Billy Gunn shockingly throws his partner Rico Constantino over the top rope! Sean O'Haire is the next casualty, courtesy of Matt Hardy Version 2.0. A-Train takes out Chris Kanyon, while The Hurricane takes out Paul London. Damien takes out Shelton Benjamin. We know A-Train won't be the first superstar with two eliminations, because Dave Batista throws him out of the match. Hardy, on the other hand, does get a second elim by taking out Haas. RVD takes out Damien, and a lot of the expected heavy hitters are now out of the match. Gunn gets his second elimination by taking out Nunzio, only to get dumped out by Chavo Guerrero, and we're down to ten. Randy Orton takes out Hardy. D-Von Dudley eliminates Carlito. Bubba Ray Dudley eliminates John Layfield, while his brother gets taken out by Chavo. The Hurricane eliminates RVD, and Batista eliminates Bubba Ray Dudley to bring us down to our final four. Either Chavo Guerrero, Batista, The Hurricane, or Randy Orton will be Elite when all is said and done! Chavo is taken out by Batista, and we have a tremendous triple threat on our hands. Eventually, Orton takes out his old Evolution stablemate Batista, then hits an RKO on his rival Hurricane, dumping him to the floor! Orton has found the loophole to get himself back on RAW!

After the match, Hurricane grabs a microphone and challenges Orton to a match at Superbrawl. Orton is flying high after the win and he accepts the challenge. The match is on!

The United States contender series continues next as Natural Born Ministry members Sean O'Haire and Haas go at it. Haas enters this match 1-0 and his leader O'Haire is 0-1, but when all is said and done, both men are 1-1 after Haas gets caught with the Prophecy. After the match, they shake hands, showing that the Ministry still stands together.

Our next contender series match pits two 1-0 superstars against each other. A-Train and Shelton Benjamin have been partners on more than one occasion, but tonight they go to war for position in the contender rankings. Solid match between the two fan favorites ends with Shelton hitting the Dragon Whip to climb to 2-0, while Train drops to 1-1. After the match, the friends shake hands.

Both Paul London and Rene Dupree lost their matches last week, so tonight they both need the win to stay in contention. Really good match that shows that Dupree is starting to get over. London picks up the win with London Calling to climb up to .500!

Through two weeks, the standings in the U.S. Contender Series are as follows:

2-0 Shelton Benjamin
1-1 A-Train
1-1 Haas
1-1 Paul London
1-1 Sean O'Haire
0-2 Rene Dupree

Rey Mysterio and Mickie James are backstage. Basically a reminder that there's a bit of history between them. They talk about Rey's feud with Matt Hardy Version 2.0, and they insinuate that there might be a mixed-tag match on SmackDown!

Time to kick off our massive quadruple main event as Eddie Guerrero and Chris Jericho battle it out in a match between two of the fastest members of the Elite! Great match that goes back-and-forth several times. Eddie hits the frogsplash, but before the ref's hand can hit a third time, Eddie gets blasted by a Kick of Death from Tajiri! The ref calls for the bell, but Jericho and Tajiri pummel Eddie. John Cena's music hits, and the IC Champ is here! He hits the ring and helps Eddie drive off the heels.

Officials clear the ring, and now it's time for Cena versus Tajiri! This match is even better than its predecessor, proving that these two could very well be the future of the industry. Tajiri hits a big top-rope DDT, then motions to the back. Jericho returns to the ring and clamps on the Walls of Jericho! The ref misses the whole thing because Tajiri has him distracted. Tajiri picks up the cheap pin, but Eddie Guerrero makes the save after the bell. He uses a chair to drive off the heels and repay Cena for the earlier save.

And the matches keep getting better as WWE Champion The Rock takes on Royal Rumble winner Christian in an absolute masterpiece. In a nearly identical finish to the previous match, Chris Benoit clamps the Crippler Crossface on Rock, allowing Xian to pick up the win. After the match, World Champion Rhyno makes his entrance with a chair to drive off the heels.

I guess I put these matches in the wrong order, because the Rhyno/Benoit main event winds up being the worst of the four main events. Still a really good match, but the other three were better. Again, the main event is marred by interference, but Christian blasting Rhyno with a chair results in a DQ this time. Benoit and Xian go to work until The Rock makes it to the ring to drive them off, leaving the world champions standing tall as RAW goes off the air.
