Start of the Show:
As soon as Raw comes on the air nearly half the damned locker room is standing in the ring! Batista is introduced as well as Chris Jericho. Jericho goes in the ring and some of the guys get antsy but Vince McMahon comes to the ramp! McMahon says that everyone is expecting HHH to come out right now but frankly, that is not going to happen. The crowd boos. Vince McMahon says this just cannot happen because of the array of talent within the ring. He says what if someone like Steven Richards won this thing, then he would be your damn champion! McMahon then goes on to say that they promised a battle royal tonight and they are going to get one. HHH will face the winner of tonight’s battle royal and he will face them TONIGHT. Vince Mcmahon then says that the match starts NOW. Ring the Bell damnit!
Referees: Numerous Referees
Number One Contender Battle Royal
Every Man for Themselves!
The Battle Royal:
All men start going crazy as the ring of the bell. Flair is working on Christian in the corner as Snitsky has a giant hold on Maven. The Hurricane goes over the top thanks to Viscera but Hurricane hangs on! The Hurricane comes flying off the ropes but Viscera catches him. A bunch of people gang up on Viscera in the corner and Hurricane has him by the neck trying to pull Viscera over. With some help, he does it!
Rhyno gores Tyson Tomko but then he gets tossed out by Tajiri! Tomko is soon to follow Rhyno, I really could not see who eliminated him. Conway is hung on the bottom rope as we see a highlight of Benjamin giving Tyson Tomko a belly to belly out of the ring. Benoit and Flair go chop for chop in the corner to the delight of the crowd as there are a few people hanging onto the ropes. Maven eliminates Sylvian Grenier by drop kicking him in the legs as he was hanging on to the ropes on the apron. Eugene gives Maven a high five for eliminating Grenier but as Maven turns to walk away from Eugene, Eugene grabs him by the back of the head and runs and tosses Maven over the top rope!
When we come back from commercial the ring looks a little less filled and we learned that the Coach was elimated as he jumped out of the ring himself when Benoit went to chop him after Benoit chopped him several times. Regal and Conway get tossed by Snitsky who was nailing people in the head. The Hurricane and Rosey nearly go out at the same time as Snitsky tossed Rosey out and Batista tossed the Hurricane out. Snitsky and Batista then stared each other down and then they went at it! The Raw locker room broke them up attacking both of them to boos from the crowd. In the corner we catch a shot of Batista clotheslining the crap out of Eugene and someone else. He then gives a spinebuster to Val Venis. Batista then chucks Eugene, gives Tajiri a spinebuster, followed by an insane craze by Batista that saw the elimination of Tajiri, Val Venis, Christian, and EVEN Ric Flair! Ric Flair went insane on the outside of the ring as he realized Batista was the one who knocked him out! Somewhere in there Christian caught a spinebuster as well. Batista CLEANED house, literally!
When we come back Shelton Benjamin and Chris Benoit are trying to eliminate Snitsky but Snitsky fights his way off. However, Chris Jericho comes flying off the top rope and he nails Snitsky with a dropkick to eliminate him! We are down to six and they are Richards, Edge, Benjamin, Jericho, Batista, and Chris Benoit. Richards gets in the middle of the ring and calls for all men to bring it on. Classic funny stuff. A couple of guys drop him, kick him around, and then toss him out of the ring.
Benjamin and Edge go at it for a bit and Edge tosses Benjamin over but Benjamin holds on. But as he gets up Edge nails him with a spear sending him flying! We are now down to four! Edge and Benoit go at it as Jericho goes at Batista. Jericho chops away on the chest of Batista as Edge has Benoit hung up on the ropes. Batista is taken down to one knee as Jericho drives away. Jericho does his running knee to Batista. Jericho comes off the ropes, Batista ducks, Jericho kicks him in the chest and runs off the ropes again. Jericho goes for a cross body block but Batista catches him and throws him over the top rope. Jericho is eliminated! Batista turns around only to get a spear from Edge! Edge goes to give Jericho an implant DDT but Benoit reverses and lands a few german suplexes! Batista comes from behind and clobbers both men. Batista then calls for the powerbomb on Benoit but when Benoit goes up he punches away like a madman. Batista changes the hold and tries to literally throw Benoit out of the ring. He has Benoit SO close but Edge runs from behind and dropkicks the back of Batista! This sends Batista flying over the rop and to the floor, SOMEHOW Benoit holds on!
Benoit and Edge go at it shot for shot, Edge in the ring and Benoit on the apron. Edge comes flying for a spear but he catches an elbow to the chin. Benoit then grabs Edge and pulls him over and both men are on the apron, Edge nearly gets eliminated but only a tiny part of his one foot touches. Benoit gets around the waste of Edge and it looks as if he is going to german suplex him off the apron but Edge holds on! Benoit then grans the head of Edge and it looks like a crossface type move but BOTH men go flying to the floor at the same time.
The referees raise the hands of both men! WHO THE HELL WON? WWE goes to commercial as both men have their hands held by different referees inside the ring!
When we come back we see a replay that does not so much evidence at all. We even get a replay in slow motion and it does not show anything.
Winner: Chris Benoit and Edge?
Orton in the back, wants to know who won?
Randy Orton is in the back with two referees from the match and they are proving each other’s points as to who won the match. Randy Orton says the two guys differ and they have no clue. Orton says he is going to have to make a decision. Vince McMahon comes in and says that Randy has a large decision to make. Randy asks Vince Mcmahon if he has an opinion. Vince says he does, but he is not going to tell Orton because Orton is in charge! Edge comes in and practically BEGS for a world title shot. He says he deserves it and so on. Orton says he will think about it, multiple times. Edge flips out when Orton leaves.
Maven wants gold:
Maven is shown sitting with Shelton Bejamin complaining that in four years he has not had any gold for himself. Eugene shows up and asks Maven if he can help him put on his tag team title belt. Maven freaks out and tells Benjmain that Eugene can’t even spell “title” and even HE has one. Eugene then spells title and Maven gets up in his face. Regal comes and says that a battle royal is every man for themselves and Maven should not have a problem. Maven cools off and sits down to take his kneepads off.
Benoit meets up with Orton:
Orton has a short talk with one of the new girls. She asks if he dress is too revealing. Orton takes a hard look at her, tells her her dress is fine, and kisses her hand. Benoit then comes up and asks Orton what he is going to do about this. Each week in and out they are getting screwed since winning the Survivor Series match. Orton says he understands and he will sort things out in his announcement next!
Orton speaks:
Orton welcomes the crowd and then goes on to book a few matches. He books a tag title rematch with La Resistance and Eugene and Regal. He also books a legends match with the King and Ric Flair! It’s the King’s birthday and Orton led us to believe it was going to be Jim Ross again but he fooled us! He then books a 3 way world title match as the main event, tonight! Edge, Benoit, and HHH for the world title, tonight!

He introduces Christy Hemme who looks damn good! He then says they have Baltimore’s own hometown sweetheart, Stacy Kiebler!!!
Stacy gets a huge ovation as she is the hottest one to come to the ring. Orton tells the girls that they have no idea why they are out here. Orton says it’s the Holiday Season and that is a time for giving. He says he is going to give the fans a RAw Lingerie fashion show. He says they are not prepared and he asked Spike TV for a few minutes extra but they declined. So he has they have to do it with what they’ve got right now! He asks the ladies if they will do it and they all say yes. Melina goes first and she looks a little hesitent standing in the middle of the ring. Orton cuts the music and says Melina is a little nervous. Orton asks the crowd for a little help and they cheer her on! She takes off her dress and she has a nice blue lingerie on. She dances up on Randy and then walks around the ring a bit for fun. It was not that good. Candice is up next and she flaunts her stuff revealing a giant rack.
