JR: Welcome to Raw folks, tonight we will see the rookie Randy Orton face Chris Candido in, Candido�s debut match here on Raw. Candido first came to raw after the Stairway to hell match between Shane Douglas and Taz, Candido offered Douglas friendship, and he has accepted. I think these two will become quite a force!
King: Talking of the Franchise he will be facing the Next Big Thing in singles action, I personally cant wait for that one folks. But hold the phone JR, the main event we will see Kane and the Undertaker face DDP and John Cena, DDP and Cena beat Sabu and Leviathan a few weeks ago on Raw for the number one contendership... and after No Mercy..
(( WHAT EVER! Our Lady Peace ---- Crippler ))
[King is interrupted by the Undisputed champion, Chris Benoit walks out with the strap around his waist. Chris Benoit receives a really bad reception from the crowd, Rock chants to break out, after the battle between those two at No Mercy. Chris benoit gets in the ring and collects a microphone]
Benoit: Wocky, Wocky, chant all you want he wont be coming out, he�s not even on Raw, add to the fact that he probably couldnt even walk down here after he lost consciousness from the Crippler Crossface. Just goes to show, that if you don�t tap you will black out! Now Im here to basically make Raw better, because quite frankly, I watched it last week and it was crap. I mean everything has changed since I was last on Raw. No Ric Flair, you actually had some talent on this show. But one thing still remains that Hollywood Hulk Hogan is still doing an awful job.
[Crowd boo and chant you suck]
Benoit: Im just telling you how it is, As you all know I am a record breaker, I am the first EVER two time Undisputed Champion to grace this federation but more importantly to grace this lower rate brand! You look at the past Undisputed Champions and the two from Raw have been pretty damn weak. You had Shawn Michaels the man I beat for the title and.....
(( DEAD MAN WALKING! �You�ve Done it Now�))
JR: That man, The Undertaker.... oh hell yeah!
[The Undertaker walks out with a microphone in hand]
Undertaker: What were you saying Benoit? Were you about to talk to me behind my back?. Well let me tell you a little something, that ring your standing... that�s MY YARD!. You see BOY you chose the wrong night to start running your mouth, especially with it yapping about Deadman Inc!
Benoit: Undertaker, Im surprised to see you tonight after the beating you took at No Mercy. As I was saying, you look at the Undisputed Champions and I am by far the best of them all....
Undertaker: WOA WOA... First Up don�t talk over me, Second of all.... just a little reality check for you son, I beat your ass not so long ago, for that very title around your waist!.
[Undertaker begins to walk down the rampway]
Undertaker: Im about this far from planting this soup bone right on you!
Benoit: Im warning you OLD MAN... don�t come any closer... everybody knows that you�ve had it. I mean Undertaker when was the last time you actually won?.
[Undertaker climbs up the steps and gets in the ring]
Undertaker: Well now I got one for you.... when was the last time you had to be checked into the hospital? Coz I have a feeling, your going to be going for a visit within the next few minutes!
[Undertaker walks right up to Chris Benoit, their noses are practically touching, each man eyeballing one another. Chris Benoit drops his microphone, and takes the Undisputed Championship from his waist]
JR: They�re going to explode any second now.... HERE WE GO... Undertaker with some huge left�s.... a second..... a third.... Benoit coming back with some KNIFE EDGE CHOPS.... GERMAN!!! GERMAN SUPLEX to the Undertaker. Chris benoit is going straight for the Crossface, but the Undertaker battles away... he�s up, sends Benoit into the ropes.... Look there�s 4 officials coming down to the ring. The Undertaker clotheslines Benoit out of his yard.... he goes to. The officials are breaking this two up, it looks like the Undertaker isn�t going to be taking any SHIT FROM ANYONE!.
King: The Undertaker is in the ring, he throws benoit his strap, and is telling him he wants some more� HA can you believe this, Big Evil I think you need be concentrating on the tag titles tonight!
MATCH ONE
Singles Match
RANDY ORTON vs CHRIS CANDIDO
JR : This should be a barnburner to kick us off here folks, the blue chipper rookie Randy Orton taking on a hardcore wrestling veteran in Chris Candido
King : Give me a break JR! It's going to be such a miss match it's unbelievable, Chris Candido....and Tammy....and Shane Douglas are going to wipe the the damn ring with Randy Orton!
JR : Well you got the story right there! It could well boil down to that folks but in any event....
((( AC/DC - CHRIS CANDIDO )))
King : Yes JR in any event here comes Chris Candido and by his side is standing his sultry valet Tammy Lee Sytch whooo!! PUPPIES ON RAW!
JR : Puppies tut! but that's not all that is with him King, he's got Shane Douglas out here with him, with the European Championship strapped around his waist, a title belt that he has held ever since the fourth show of the brand extension folks! so that's some fair back up I'd say as all three get in the ring and pose to boo's from the capacity crowd apart from a selection of ECW and XPW chants...
((( BLUE CHIPPER - RANDY ORTON )))
King : Now here comes Randy Orton to a huge pop for some reason from this crowd as he makes his way down to the ring to get his ass kicked by some wrestling veterans hah!
JR : That may well be the case but King this lad is going to be a huge star on RAW and as Randy said were gonna see the very best of Randy Orton from now here and oh! Orton slides in only to get doubled up on by Douglas and Candido as Tammy leaves the ring, Douglas and Candido now before the bell has even rung right hands to Orton and now Double Irish whip on Orton, Orton comes back off the ropes and ducks the clotheslines and now goes to hit the other ropes but instead slides out of the ring and he is right next to Tammy Sytch and he stares at her and OH MY!
King : He cant do that! he just planted a HUGE KISS on Tammy! I'm jealous JR! I wanna do that hey Tammy come up here I wanna have a kiss and I wanna see some PUPPIES!
JR : Don't mind him folks but in any event now Shane and Candido dont look too pleased at that especially Candido who comes out of the ring and starts chasing Randy Orton around the ring, Orton now slides inside but gets taken out by Douglas with a sharp clothesline! sure got him that time! But this is nothing more than a glorified handicap match, the bell hasn't even rung yet! Candido now coming inside the ring and the referee is ejecting Douglas AND Tammy from ringside! That's a good call from where I sit!
King : Good call getting rid of Tammy?
JR : Yeah you heard me right now we might get to see a good one on one contest as Douglas and Tammy are out of here! Candido is complaining about this to the referee and now Orton with the roll up ONE.............TWO...............THR.....KICKOUT!! Orton nearly beat Candido with a schoolboy roll up pin! Both men to there vertical bases now as they exchange right hands, Candido the veteran coming out on top by going downstairs with a knee to the gut and now hitting Orton with a Side Suplex.

Candido is pissed he nearly lost again! Both men back up and now Orton goes for a right hand but gets taken down with a neckbreaker by Chris Candido, Candido now into a cover from that move looks like hurt Orton bad 1............2..........Orton pops a shoulder up however but now Orton looks like he's hurt his neck and this isn't funny at all nobody likes to see this but Candido now is going to home in on that injury and use it to his own advantage
JR : Candido now pulls up Orton and uses a Snapmare followed by a Neck Snap to Randy which only is going to inflict more pain on that neck, all these moves are almost literally what we call them, SNAPmare, Neck SNAP, Neck BREAKER it doesn't really sound good for Randy does it? He could be in serious trouble as now Candido relentless with huge elbow drops to the back of the neck of Orton and now he gets on top of Orton and hooks the leg back for the cover 1..........2.........Orton popping out still great resiliance and now Candido getting mad with himself, he feels he should have had this match won by now. Candido pulls up Orton and Irish whips him into the corner and Orton hits it with velocityand his neck snaps back off the top turnbuckle! That must have hurt this kid is getting taken apart now, it's only a matter of time until Candido puts him away I feel and now Candido charges in but Orton leapfrogs him and counters with a BACKSLIDE 1.............2.............3 ORTON GOT HIM!! Orton just pinned Candido and that is Randy's first pinfall victory in WWE Sadistic!
King : That was out of nowhere! Randy has won it but Candido is PISSED AT THAT! and now as Randy Orton celebrates on the turnbuckle he leaves the ring and comes back with a Steel Chair! Orton now with his arms in his usual pose on the turnbuckle but WHACK! Candido with a steel chair to the back of the head and neck of Orton! and now Orton his neck has got to be hurt as now Candido lies the chair on the mat and goes up top with Randy and WOAH! he turns Randy around and FISHERMANS BUSTER from the top rope onto that steel chair on poor old Randy!
JR : Thats enough you sick BASTARD! you lost the damn match now dont take out your frustrations on the better man! He's a young talent on Raw and you try to go and end his young career by doing that!
King : He's leaving now JR but the big news is Randy Orton as EMT's ruin down here to try and help him and the crowd are cheering him along as he stumbles to his feet not wanting to leave on a stretcher. Orton has won his first ever match on RAW via pinfall and wants to live up his victory

Candido sliding back out of the ring, he�s looking for something underneath the ring. Heyman still frantically trying to get Lesnar out of there, but Douglas has started working on him. He�s hammering away with boots to left shoulder of Lesnar. What the hell is Candido looking for.... oh no, that�s a table JR. This doesnt look good.

MAIN EVENT
TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP
KANE(CHAMP) & THE UNDERTAKER VS. DDP & JOHN CENA
JR: Well it�s been another rollercoaster ride on Raw tonight King, but now it�s time to see who will be the tag champions. The Undertaker must be on the winning side here otherwise he won�t have ever been recognised as tag champion, DDP & John Cena will want that honour themselves.
King: Oh yeah, a lot on the line tonight on both sides, it�s gonna be great. Undertaker is gonna be in a foul mood coming off of No Mercy, but so is Page.
(((JOHN CENA)))
Cena appears staring intently at the crowd and walks in his unique manner down towards the ring entering under the bottom rope. He climbs the buckle and raises his arms.
(((BANG! IT�S ME, IT�S ME, IT�S DDP)))
DDP makes his way halfway down the ramp, makes the diamond sign as his pyro�s shoot off and then gets into the ring and talks a little tactics with Cena.
(((BOOM+YOU�VE DONE IT NOW)))
Undertaker and Kane�s music�s combine as the Brothers of Destruction appear to a huge cheer from the fans. Kane is holding both the tag title belts as he approaches the ring. The brothers enter as we prepare for the bell to sound.
JR: The belts are held up, this is for the titles folks and it should be a classic. There�s the bell and it�s going to be Kane and Cena starting things off. Cena trying to out battle Kane physically, not gonna work. Kane takes control with some hard right hands and he knocks Cena to the floor. Cena scrambles around Kane and gives him a kick in the calf as he gets to his feet. Kane clotheslines him right back down, Cena with another kick to the calf, that�s good strategy from the rookie. Kane now stomps away on the chest of Cena, he doesn�t want his leg getting knotted up. Kane let�s up long enough for Cena to get to his feet. Kane now with a big scoop slam, Cena bounces back up, Kane with a military press, hurls Cena up for the flapjack, but Cena lands on his feet behind Kane and scores with the dropkick right in the calf area again, Kane down to one knee now. Cena bounces off the ropes now and takes kane down with a chop block. Now Cena makes the tag to Page.
King: Here comes the smiler with an elbow drop right into Kane�s leg. Page now dragging him back towards his corner, that�s smart. Page has been around the block a few times, in more ways than one, ha. Now Page applying a leglock on Kane just trying to wear down the champ. Earl Hebner asking Kane if he wants to quit, there�s no way he�s going to yet. Kane now fighting back with some hard right hands to Page and he forces the break. Kane gets to his feet now and catches Page coming with a vertical suplex. Rolling into the cover now, 1+2+Page kicks out. Kane now whips Page to the ropes, big boot, no, Page ducked it and I think Kane strained a leg muscle with the attempt. Page now off the ropes, blind tag by Cena, Page runs past Kane clubbing him across the back of the head and heads for the ropes once more as Cena now enters the ring. Page comes at Kane from the front, Cena from the back. Simultaneously Page scores with a clothesline and Cena with a chop block taking Kane down hard. Wow, that was a helluv an impact. Hebner getting Page out of the ring now, yeah do your job Hebner you idiot.
JR: We�re seeing some great teamwork from Cena & Page tonight. Kane struggling back to his feet, Cena again tries to beat him back down. Punches having no effect on Kane, goozle, Cena counters and rolls up into a small package, 1+2+no, Kane powered out. Cena right back to his feet but so is Kane. That wheel of his doesn�t look to have been damaged as much as Cena and Page would have liked. Cena with an excellent standing dropkick rocking Kane. Cena now like a cat up to the top rope, high cross body, but Kane caught him, what strength. Backbreaker by Kane, but he may have hurt his leg again doing it. Cena going for the tag to Page, makes it, Kane wants the tag as well. Page coming to stop him but he�s too late, here comes Taker. Bulldozes through Page with a clothesline, Cena is still in big boot by Taker turns him inside out. Page back to his feet but met by a barrage of rights and lefts from those big soup bones of Undertaker backing him into a corner, hard reverse elbow smash. Here comes Cena, Taker grabs him by the throat with both hands and slings him into Page in the corner.
King: Taker is on fire here. Another reverse elbow. Taker chasing Hebner away now to get him out of his face. Now he charges back in nailing squashing Page and Cena with a huge clothesline. Cena falling down out of the way, Taker now with another huge clothesline to Page almost taking him over the top rope. Now Taker wraps his hand around the throat of Page, wait Cena back up, Taker grabs him by the throat with his other hand, surely he can�t, DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE. Wow, I don�t believe that. He makes the cover on both men, 1+2+3. Kane retains his half of the tag-team titles and The Undertaker wins a half. I can�t believe that double chokeslam. Wait though, now what is Taker doing? He snatches his belt from Hebner and shoves him over. Page back to his feet and Taker floors him with the belt to the head, Cena back up and he receives the same. Taker throws his belt down and gets out of the ring. Now what? He�s throwing chairs into the ring, and the ring bell.
JR: Yeah but look, on the stage, there�s the Undisputed champion Chris Benoit. He�s making his way down here. What is this about? Meanwhile Taker is back in the ring, he drives the ring bell hard into the chest of Page and then Cena. Now he pulls Page up. Benoit is at ringside now. Kane is trying to calm Taker down but Taker shrugs him away. Kane realises it�s futile, he takes his belt and he�s leaving Taker to it. He knows he can�t stop Taker in this mood. Kane leaving and he didn�t see Benoit who is still out here. Taker now has Page up, what�s this? TOMBSTONE ON THE STEEL CHAIR. Oh my God! Taker really does need stopping now, he�s lost control. Now he�s placing another chair, he drags Cena to his feet and scoops him up. Benoit is still watching all of this. TOMBSTONE ON THE CHAIR to Cena. My God! Benoit looked like he was going to get in the ring, there are officials everywhere now, Taker is hitting out at anything that moves. Benoit seems to have changed his mind now. I don�t know what he had in mind, but he certainly isn�t going to do it anymore. Benoit now taking his title and leaving as Taker is finally distracted long enough for officials to remove Page and Cena from the ring. Wow, what a night.
