King : Hello folks tonight we have a nice small show for you to take things easy after No Way Out! But remember the road to Wrestlemania has begun!!
JR : That's right, The Undertaker was booked to face Lance Storm here tonight but we understand that isn't going to happen, because Lance Storm is still re-couperating at home after that match inside the Battle Dome! And The Undertaker is unable to work because of niggling back injury, but we understand he'll be ready in a couple of weeks.
King : Not only that Shane Douglas isn't here tonight, nor The Rock, these two men will meet at Wrestlemania for the WWE Undisputed Championship, but after No Way Out, both men aren't ready to work and Hulk and Ric have agreed to give them the night off!
JR : Yeah, but although we expected that, we are disapointed with Shelton Benjamin, he was supposed to be wrestling tonight against Stone Cold Steve Austin tonight, in Steve Austin's return match, but Shelton says he has more important things to deal with, what those are I dont know, but as a result, to these fans disapointment, Stone Cold has been sent home and will be ready to go soon, It's BS if you ask me, Benjamin doesnt want to lose his winning streak for Team Angle! And that's the bottom line!!!
King : You may be right, lets look at the footage from earlier...
**Shelton Benjamin is arrving to the arena in a limo as usual�but the thing that�s different is he is alone�he is alone probally because he is at the arena a little bit early�ok maybe a few days later but he is still ready to go to work on his skills�So he makes his way to the weight room smiling at everyone and waving�He opens the door and takes in a deep breath knowing that its time to end the celebration, and get to work.***
Kevin Kelly: Well if it isn�t Mr. Benjamin�Shelton Benjamin in the flesh. How you been doing bud ** extends hand** Staying in shape **extends hand further�shrugs and pulls hand away**
Shelton: Been doing good�how about yourself?
KK: I'm great�No Way Out was awesome. The Battle Dome was great�Everything just went and surpassed my expectations.
Shelton: That�s good to know. That our hard work is paying off for someone�
KK: Its always paying off�its gotta be paying off for you I see tons of Team Angle Shirts in the crowd.
Shelton: of course you do we have the only shirts that don�t shrink or rip under the pressure, but what do you want?
KK: thoughts about your match with Austin�
Shelton: Its not going to happen I have more important things to take care of�I have Issues that need to be addressed�now If you would just leave me alone�
***Kevin Kelly leaves and he looks dumbfounded!**
JR : Exactly!! What can be more important than a match with Austin? running in to help his buddies keep up a winning streak? It's plain old horse crap!
King : Easy JR!! Anyway I know that tonight Hulk Hogan also isn't here, but he will be next week and so tonight we have Ric Flair in charge of affairs fully. But you know I wonder why Hulk isn't here? Over the past few hours, he's had criticism from some boys backstage, not mentioning any names, him and Flair booked a quality match, but Lance and Shane, they aint gonna be the same, and those are two guys that are Inter-Continental Champion and future Undisputed Champions possibly, so they are big players on raw!

Stone Cold P-P Shelton Benjamin
Pools Panel says.....Away Win (hehe)

[Camera's go backstage now live and we see Batista walking down the corridor getting pumped up for his big match up next with Kane. Batista barges past a few small men and knocks them away into walls, he's looked ripped and ready to kick somebodies ass! Last night at No Way Out he almost be-headed Booker T with a ring bell after losing his chance at the number one contenders at the hardcore title. Batista now comes up to the Raw interview set where Terri tries to get a quick word]
Terri : Hey Dave, Dave Batista can I get a word please?
Batista : Yeah I don't see why not Terri, go for it
Terri : Ok, last night at No Way Out you....
Batista : Woah! Stop right there missus, I'm not here to talk about last night, I'm not here to
talk about No Way Out, I'm here to talk about Raw here in Toronto! You see I'm in the ring tonight and I've got a match against Kane, a big red retarded freak. A guy that thinks he's had it tough by getting a little scald mark on his cheek when he was little. And he wears a mask to cover it! Give me a break Terri, I've spent my whole life moving from FOSTER HOME TO FOSTER HOME!! I was never loved or appreciated, Kane was brought up by Paul Bearer as legend has it! I was locked in a room and forgot about, I was an outcast, even in a foster home! so you know what I did I started to train up to become the biggest bad ass of all time! And I think I've done it, and I'm going to prove it tonight against Kane!
Terri : Ok Batista thanks for the small interview before the match, but.....
**Just then Kane comes walking onto the set and puts his hand on the microphone and moves Terri's hand up to his lips so he can speak into the microphone.**
Kane : Batista, you don't know what it's like to mess with fire , and you know, I am that fire, and when you mess with fire, you get burned! It's as simple as pie, and believe me The Big Red Machine likes his pie! It's a lot easier now I changed the mask! But anyway what I'm trying to say Batista is that the match for me tonight will be as easy as pie, because what I've seen so far doesn't impress me, your nothing new, you couldnt even beat Booker T!! Your a failure! and tonight Im going to prove it! Batista lets go out and there and see how long you can last before I Choke Slam you and pin your ass 1.....2.....3!!
Batista : You make me laugh Kane, I wouldn't be worried about the Choke Slam, because your not even going to get one move, your forgetting I'm Batista and I'm the new guy around here, out with the old, in with the new, Kane enjoy the use of your legs while you still have them, because your gonna be a paraplegic in about 10 minutes time son!
*Both men stare at each other as the scene goes to a commercial*

Match Two
Dave Batista vs Kane
((( BOOM!! - Slow Chemical )))
JR : Here comes The Big Red Machine! Walking through hell fire and brimstone, you just know that this following match will be a slobberknocker between two of Raw's biggest bulls!
((( Evolution - BATISTA )))
King : Here comes Batista folks, he's about ready to kick Kane's ass, I know Kane is one tough guy, but this Batista is awesome! Just look at him! He's going to be a huge player here on RAW! You can tell, Kane playing mind games saying how unimpressive Batista is, but I think that Batista is absolutely off the page!
JR : Both men now banging chests in the middle of the ring, Batista shoving Kane's face and now Kane shoving Batista's chest and now Batista runs at Kane with a football tackle but Kane counters with a Big Boot!! Kane knocks down Batista but the rugged beast Batista is straight back up and runs at Kane and knocks him down with a Clothesline! Kane now sits straight up though! Kane is up and he looks at batista who throws a right hand but it's blocked by Kane and he comes back with an uppercut and now into a Sidewalk Slam!! Kane covers 1........2.......Batista powers out and now Kane is up and waits for Batista again into a Powerslam...but Batista escapes down the back of Kane and counters with a German Suplex on The Big Red Machine! Batista with a big move there and now kicking away at Kane's ribs and chest, and whole upper torso.
King : This Batista is looking so impressive, you know with all the other stars away tonight, Batista is going to stand out even more. Batista now pulls up Kane and uses a Suplex...textbook!! Batista holds on to Kane though and looks for a second and he has him up in the vertical position but OH MY!! changes in mid air to a powerslam position...RUNNING POWERSLAM!!! What a move especially to a 320lbs guy like Kane. Batista now covers 1.......2........Kane just about kicking out! Batista now drops an elbow on Kane's chest and a hook of the leg again 1....2.....Kane again kicks out and Batista stands up and screams out loud, he is absolutely pumpin'!! Batista pulls Kane up by the hair and hits him with a right forearm and then the European Uppercut in combo and now he hits the ropes, looking for could be clothesline but The Big Red Machine ducks and Batista hits the ropes the other side, he comes back and Kane catches him into a bearhug position! Kane though jumps forward with a spinebusting like move to Batista and Kane planted him there and covers him 1........2.........Batista just kciking out....
JR : Kane now leaving the ring through the ropes and going up top, could be the Flying Clothesline here, he waits for Batista to get up, he is, Kane jumps off the top rope and connects with a clothesline to Batista! Kane now scurries across the canvas into a cover on Batista 1......2......Batista kicks out! Very impressive kick out from Dave Batista there. Kane also impressive here, Batista is performing excellent and credit to Kane taking him all the way, Kane is exceptional, both these men so under rated. Kane now holding his head in his hands as he stands up and ruffles his glove, he wants to use the Choke Slam on Batista. Batista is up and he turns around and Kane throws his hand across Batista's neck.....CHOKE SLAM! Batista is driven with that! Batista wont be getting up anytime soon! Kane now drops down into a cover on Batista 1..........2...............BATISTA KICKS OUT!!
King : I can't believe we just saw that! did Batista really just kick out of The Choke Slam?
JR : Yeah he did, Kane can't believe it as now he grabs up Batista and throws his hand across his neck again, but Batista breaks it and shoves Kane at the ropes, he bounces back at Batista who kicks him in the gut, and now what? Batista looking for a Sit-Out Powerbomb! Batista lifts Kane, can he plant him?.....YES!! Batista plants Kane and into a cover right away, Batista is awesome 1...........2...............KANE KICKS OUT!!!
King : I can't believe we just saw that! did Kane really just kick out of The Sit Out Powerbomb?
JR : Yeah he did, and I think I just felt a feeling of deja-vu come across me, either it's a coincedence or its a glitch in the matrix, but in any event Batista and Kane are both up and I haven't got a clue what must be going through their minds as now they exchanging right hands, Kane on top as he has Batista reeling at the ropes, Kane irish whip, Batista reverses, Kane comes back off the ropes and Batista with a HUGE SPINEBUSTER 1.............2.............Kane kicks out again! I cant believe that as now Batista pulls Kane back up, he's pissed off, he's got Kane in front headlock and lifts him for a SUPERPLEX and Kane is up, but Kane drops down behind Batista, who turns around and Kane lifts him TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER!!! Kane has Batista, fighting and really struggling to not get planted, but he cant escape, Batista is DRILLED!!! Kane crosses the arms as the crowd chant the count 1.............2..............3!!
Winner : Kane
King : What an excellent match as Kane now pulls up Batista and holds him against the ropes, and he gets his arm and puts it in the air, great sportsmanship by Kane, and Batista taking deep breaths holding the ropes, this was a great match....
( WHOOOO!! - Ric Flair )
JR : Here's the Nature Boy!
King : What the fudge does he want?
[Ric Flair]
Guys guys, you know what, you two may have been in undercard matches at the PPV, you may have both lost at the PPV, but tonight you two guys came back in the best possible way! You two guys gave these fans a great match in the absence of some of the more established stars! So Kane congratulations for winning, but really you've both won, because you know yesterday at no way out, Booker T won the number one contenders slot for the Hardcore Title? Well I've changed my mind, next week on Raw we'll see Booker T vs Kane vs Batista in a Triple Threat Match with the winner getting the privelage of a shot at the UNIFIED World Hardcore Title, in two weeks time on RAW! Whooooo!
JR : What a bombshell!!
King : Damn right what a bombshell! I cant wait for that match next week!
-------
**Scene goes to the gym in the arena where we see Shelton Benjamin in his tracksuit doing a few stretches, the camera then switches to Charlie Haas who has his tracksuit on and he's doing exercises whilst wearing one of the tag title belts. And then we see Kurt Angle doing some sit ups, eventually Shelton stops exercising and starts to speak to Haas and Angle who are still stretching**
Benjamin : So guys Team Angle still undefeated huh!
Haas : Yeah I know! You sure showed Stone Cold! Not even The Rattlesnake beat you tonight!
Angle : That's right Charlie, We need to keep this streak going, we had impressive wins at No Way Out over Kane, Undertaker and Benoit, but tonight it's Benoit and Booker T, in a tag team match, it shouldnt be too taxing, but still we need to be professonal about it! and hand them there asses Oh It's True! And hey can i get a woah Team Angle around here?....
**All three put there hands in and they got Woooooaaaaaah TEAM ANGLE!! As the scene ends!**

Lance Storm P-P Undertaker
Pools Panel says : Score Draw (hehe)

**Scene flicks backstage where we see Ric Flair talking to Chris Benoit, all of a sudden his cell phone rings...**
[Ric Flair]
Just a minute Chris....HELLO?.....Hey Booker hows it goin? (crowd applause) What?.....you can't get to the arena?.....(fans boo).....you have a concussion from last night at No Way Out?.....That'll be the shot with the ring bell mate.....(fans laugh) Yeah ok, you were supposed to be main event tonight though! It was your big chance, I hope your not bitter that I scrapped your number one contenders slot against Douglas, and make you have it again against Batista and Kane, that was in the best interest of the business!......Well Book, rest up then man, and come back strong next week, your gonna need to be to beat Kane and Batista, later days man!
[Chris Benoit]
What? So I gathered that Booker can't get here tonight! I'm here all in my ring attire and I have no partner, so I guess its a handicap match then Naitch
[Ric Flair]
Looks like it, I hate it when this happens, But you know Chris, I think I might have a plan, The fans deserve a fair match, so thats what they are gonna get, Team Angle wont eb expecting this one! Raw may have been bowling sue ugly tonight, but this main event, is gonna raise a few eyebrows, and I'm not talking about The Rock! I'm talking about another former world champion, this roof is gonna explode! Whooooooo!!
[Chris Benoit]
Well all they have to do is stand on the apron, because Kurt Angle and Kurt Angle are gonna be victims of the crossface here tonight and that's a promise Ric!
**Chris Benoit then walks out of the room as Ric Flair has a huge smile come across his face!**
JR : Wow! Benoit now has another partner? He better be good, Haas and Angle are undefeated!
King : Yeah, who's gonna help out Benoit? he's got no friends come on!! But I agree he'd better be good, because Benoit can't beat Angle 1 on 1 let alone 2 on 1 against the tag champs!
**Benoit has left the room and Ric has a smirk on his face still, when all of a sudden his cell fone rings!**
[Ric Flair]
Look Booker I'm busy, I'll call you ba......Oh sorry Hulk hows it goin!? (fans cheer loudly) yeah i'm glad your doin fine........so am i, fixing to get a whole lot better too.....so what you want?...........Whats that?........Booker T didn't tell me that...........so I have got to change it back again yea?
JR : whats he on about?
[Ric Flair]
I've got to give Booker T his hardcore title shot next week?.........Oh right......I didn't know he has a clause like that in his contract.........ok, I'll change the match back..........oh but Hogan I already promised Kane and Batista.........HOGAN THATS GENIUS!!..........So Booker T gets his shot next week against Douglas?.....(fans applause).....and against batista and against kane!! (fans cheer even more!) Ok man catch ya later!
King : What?
JR : I think the match has been changed again!
King : Batista vs Kane vs Booker T vs Shane Douglas - World Hardcore Title? THATS HUGE!!
JR : I cant believe this!!

Ok guys I'm not too bothered about the poor turnout because No Way Out was such a huge PPV and the time you guys had to put together a Raw rp was limited. But thanks to those who did rp, fantastic, stuff, I didnt have much time so I tried to focus results around those who did rp, rp'r of the week goes to The Big Green Irish Machine Brendan, great roleplay, followed closely by Batista and Kurt Angle, next week's card will be up after these results and its got 3 matches, but please everyone try to roleplay and keep Raw the number one brand! even when It's just me and Kev running it LOL, ok also if Stu isn't back I'll need a bit of help with results, I already had a few offers which is very nice, and I'd appreciate if I got a bit of help next week because I've got a lot on, even more than this week would you believe lol. Ok pages will be updated soon apart from raw and Sadistic main, because Stu will need to do them, cheers
Raw rating ; 2.3
