JUNE 12TH 2006

A photo montage of what happened at the end of the main event at the KING OF THE RING is shown!!

The RAW titles roll and the pyro goes off in the arena!!

Jim Ross and Jerry “The King” Lawler welcome us to RAW!!

JR: We are 24 hours removed from a very controversial night at the KING OF THE RING with the Bischoff Association stealing another win over Batista. What will Batista have in response tonight. We are live in the Bryce Jordan Centre in University Park Pennsylvania!! JR and the King at ringside!!

Eric Bischoff’s music hits and The Bischoff Association which includes Eric Bischoff, Randy Orton, Edge, Triple H and Coach make their way to the ring!!

Randy Orton takes the microphone!!

Orton: I hate to say I told you so but I told you so. Each and every time I come out here and face you ingrates I tell you that I will retain my World Heavyweight Championship and last night guess what I retained my World Heavyweight Championship!! And to top it off Dave Batista will never get a title shot while yours truly is champion and newsflash my name is Randy Orton and I will be World Heavyweight Champion for a very, very long time!! And from this moment on there is nothing Dave Batista can do about it. No longer will Batista face me for my title and that is the way it should be. That big freak doesn’t deserve to be in the same ring as Randy Orton!! Back in the days of Evolution everyone knew who Triple H and Ric Flair thought should be the golden one. Both Hunter and Ric had Randy Orton down as the golden one and now I repay their faith!! Triple H believed in me and last night Triple H had my back!! But that doesn’t matter. That doesn’t matter because even if Edge, Hunter and Eric hadn’t come down to the ring I had that match won!! I don’t care what JR says, I don’t care what Batista says and I certainly don’t care what you people say about my victory last night!! Once again I proved I was the better man and last night I proved why I am the golden superstar of my generation!!
Randy Orton then passes over the microphone to Triple H!!

Triple H: Congratulations Randy. You are the golden superstar of your generation and somewhere down the line I fully expect you will repay the favour and give me a title shot!! But let’s not talk about title shots on such a glorious night!! That’s right this is going to be a great night and why it’s because we get to celebrate Edge keeping the Intercontinental Championship, we get to celebrate Randy Orton keeping the World Heavyweight Championship but most importantly we get to celebrate me screwing Batista over so he doesn’t get another title shot for a very long time!!

Batista’s music hits and he makes his way to the top of the ramp way!!

Batista: Triple H why don’t you stop all this crap your spouting and face me one on one in that ring tonight like a man!!

Bischoff: Who the hell do you think you are? Dave you don’t come out here and demand matches. Last night you got put in your place so you won’t be in any big matches for a very long time!!

Batista: Bischoff if you don’t give me Triple H tonight then I will come down there and rip your eyes out their socket and feed you them!!

Bischoff: Tough talk Dave. But if you even put a hand on me tonight then Dave you will be suspended without pay!! And another thing Triple H is already booked in one on one action tonight against William Regal so no luck tonight Batista!!

Batista: Well if your stooge won’t face me tonight then why don’t you put me in a match with your golden boy!! Give me Orton!!

Orton: Did Triple H hit you in the head that hard last night Dave? Can’t you remember Dave? Let me remind you that you don’t get any more shots at me and my World Heavyweight Championship!!
Batista: Who said anything about the title being on the line? I want you ass in that ring. I don’t care what kind of match it is, I want your ass in that ring!!

Bischoff: Eh no!!

Batista: No you say well let me throw this at you. Since I can’t go for the World Heavyweight Championship, why don’t I take that other title you have on your shoulder right here tonight. I will go find another partner and take those tag titles off you tonight. What you say. You too scared to put your titles on the line?

Bischoff: Randy Orton and Edge are not scared of anyone!! And to answer your challenge then you’re on!! Tonight in this ring it will be Orton and Edge versus Batista and a partner of his choice for the World Tag Team Championships!! And Dave after tonight you, your partner and the whole of MONDAY NIGHT RAW will never be the same!!

Eric Bischoff’s music hits and he has a big grin on his face!!

JR: What is Bischoff talking about? RAW will never be the same after the title match tonight? What does he mean?

Kane dominated John Cena the whole match and only one thing cost Kane that match!! That one thing was someone impersonating The Undertaker!! I say impersonating because we all know my only son Kane buried The Undertaker alive at WRESTLEMANIA 22 and that means we will never see The Undertaker again here on RAW, on SMACKDOWN or any other show for that matter!! So Kane and I would like to know who played The Undertaker’s music and if we don’t get an answer by next week on RAW then I will have no choice but to set Kane free in the locker room and Kane will find out the good old fashioned way!!

You see groups of people can get a little much when you try and go for your groceries but when it is groups a women then you just make an exception!! Haha.

That’s right the king is here because last night I overcame all odds to defeat Christian and Kane in one night to become the 2006 King of the Ring!! And I know Jerry that it means a lot to be a king but what I get out of this the most is that I got a free ticket to the main event of SUMMERSLAM!!

I certainly don’t care, Jerry Lawler doesn’t care and these peeps don’t care!! John you got lucky last night!! You see John you needed luck to beat me and you know it!! And you needed The Undertaker to beat Kane!! So the way I see it John you shouldn’t be in the main event at SUMMERSLAM!! I should be!! I would have beaten Kane without the help of The Undertaker!! And then I would be in the main event at SUMMERSLAM and then I would be your new World Heavyweight Champion!!

Cena: When you going to stop whining and complaining!! That’s all you do!! Christian you would already be champion if you could whine and complain to get the title!!

Christian: Well if you are so confident Cena then why don’t you face me and Tomko in that ring tonight!! Why doesn’t the “two kings of the WWE” take me and Tomko on?

Cena: You and Tomko against me and Jerry Lawler? Jerry what do you say?

Lawler: I say let’s show those two punks who the real kings of RAW are!!

JR: We are live in the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester New York welcome one and all to MONDAY NIGHT RAW and King does this man have a lot of explaining to do!!

King: JR we were all shocked to see the return of Bill Goldberg last week but even more shocked when he speared Shawn Michaels and Batista and shook the hand of Eric Bischoff!! Will we here an explanation now?

JR: I sure hope so King!!

Goldberg takes a microphone in the ring!!

Goldberg: Who’s next? Shawn Michaels is next!! For whatever amount of years Shawn Michaels has been on top of the WWE it has made me sick to my stomach!! My first stint here in the WWE I tried my best to get on with Shawn and I tried my best for all you fans to like me!! Every time the Goldberg chant rung out around an arena you what I used to think? I used to think that these sad, deluded fans think I care what they think!! That’s right even back in WCW I didn’t care what you people thought and right now I still don’t care!! I don’t care if you cheer me or you boo me, makes no difference to me because the only single thing that matters to me is the pay checks!! Eric Bischoff approached me a couple of weeks ago and he said he could offer me the most lucrative contract in the history of MONDAY NIGHT RAW!! And I said yes!! I said yes because that is what I am about. I am the box office star. Back in WCW I was the box office star. In my first time around here on RAW I was the box office star on RAW!! And now I am the box office star of RAW!!

I will own every RAW superstar in the back and from this moment forward I am putting the whole locker room on notice!! If you piss Eric Bischoff off you will have to deal with the World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton!! The Intercontinental Champion Edge!! And now the most dominant superstar in the history of professional wrestling Bill Goldberg!!

Shawn Michaels music hits and he makes his way to the top of the entrance way!!

HBK: Eric Bischoff you are out of control. Bischoff your ego is far to inflated to run RAW. To me this whole shin dig you got going on is starting to resemble your little stable back in the day of WCW and we all know how that turned out don’t we!! So this is what I propose!!

Bischoff: You don’t propose a thing Shawn!! And how dare you question my actions!! Goldberg speared the crap out of you last week and I am surprised you even made it to RAW tonight!!

HBK: Bischoff I wouldn’t miss it for the world because what I propose is to go down to that very ring and kick all your asses right about now!!

Goldberg then slaps the back of Bischoff and walks off!!

JR: We are sold out in the Crown Center of Cumberland County in Fayetteville, North Carolina and by god are these great RAW fans in for a hell of a ride tonight!! Hello one and all I’m Jim Ross alongside The King and King what a huge main event we have in store tonight!!

King: JR three weeks ago Randy Orton took out Tajiri before a scheduled match and now Tajiri can get revenge when he teams with William Regal to take on Randy Orton and Edge for the World Tag Team Championships!!

JR: That will be a great watch!!

Eric Bischoff’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring!!

Bischoff: The question I have been asked the most over the past week was why did you sign Goldberg when you have Triple H in your ranks. Well there is a simple answer to that question. Bill Goldberg and Triple H are two of the best this business has ever seen!! Bill Goldberg who I know very well from WCW tore the competition apart in WCW and when I Eric Bischoff brought him to the WWE back in 2003 he done the same and became the World Heavyweight Champion!! And Triple H well what can I say about Hunter that hasn’t already been said. Triple H is the game, he is the cerebral assassin!! He is one of the best of all time and last week he proved his worth to the Bischoff Association and that him and Goldberg can work together and make this group, this alliance, this association the greatest faction of all time!! And most importantly help I Eric Bischoff in my mission in WWE domination!!

Chris Benoit’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring!!

Benoit: Don’t look so tough now do you Bischoff without your henchmen to back you up!! Bischoff don’t worry I came out here to talk. Don’t look to shocked I can talk as well. And I have a few things to get off my chest!! So here I go Eric. Back in early 2000 I made my debut in the WWE along with Eddie Guerrero, Perry Saturn and Dean Malenko. We were called The Radicalz!! We came to the WWE in early 200 because the company we were in before was going straight into the ground faster than pouring milk down the sink!! And Eric answer me this who was in charge of that company back in early 2000? Let me answer it was you Bischoff!! It was you that ran WCW into the ground back then and now I see a pattern!!

RVD: Shock horror RVD has some mic time!! Well I better take the chance while I have it. And only one thing I can talk about is RVD vs Booker T in a Hardcore Rules Match at THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH!! Well if there was one match that suited the style of RVD it’s a Hardcore Rules Match!! I mean come on. I was brought up in that environment with Paul Heyman in ECW!! This match at THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH will showcase what is right about ECW!! Booker T thinks that because he was in WCW and that he is the five time, five time, five time WCW Champion that he is better than me. Well newsflash Booker. ECW was the heart and soul of professional wrestling and ECW produced one hundred more great wrestlers than WCW ever did!! ECW back in the day created stars like Lance Storm, like Sandman, like Stone Cold Steve Austin!! In WCW you took washed up has bean’s from the WWE and made them irrelevant and stalled the careers of great wrestlers such as Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho and Eddie Guerrero!! I was born in ECW and this match in three weeks at THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH will prove that ECW was and always will be above WCW!!

Booker T’ music hits and he makes his way down to the ring!!

Booker T: Tell me you didn’t just say that? Tell me you didn’t just say that? Rob you must be high on all the crap you lot in ECW smoked back in the day!! Don’t ever compare WCW with ECW. WCW did have its faults but at least we were professional athletes and not glorified stuntmen!! But don’t get me wrong Rob at THE GREAT AMERCIAN BASH in our Hardcore Rules Match I don’t mind getting extreme on your punk ass!!

RVD: Glorified stuntmen? Why don’t I show you right here, right now how much of a stuntman I am?

Booker T: We have a match at THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH I don’t need to fight you tonight!! I don’t care what you want and I don’t care about what these people want!! I look out for one man and that is the five time, five time, five time WCW Champion!! Booker T!!

RVD: Before you go into your boring routine can I just say that at THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH you won’t know what hits you when Rob Van Dam and Mr Thursday Night and Mr Pay Per View goes extreme on you!!

Booker: That don’t scare Booker T!! You don’t scare Booker T!! Nothing scares Booker T and when you look into my eyes in three weeks you will see that nothing will stop the Book man from kicking your ass!! Now can you dig that Sucka!!

Booker T then nails the microphone of the head of RVD!! Booker then hits hard right hands on RVD and then stomps away on RVD!! Booker picks up RVD and chops away on the chest of RVD and then bounces RVD off the ropes and then goes for a spin kick but then RVD ducks it and hits a spinning heel kick on Booker!!

Booker then quickly leaves the ring and backs up the ramp way and then his music hits!! RVD is on his knees in the ring holding his back as Booker backs up the ramp talking trash to RVD!!

As announced by Michael Cole earlier tonight Rey Mysterio will indeed face Ric Flair at THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH. I’m sure that will be a huge match. And I’m sure you will all enjoy. But earlier tonight I wanted to create history for SMACKDOWN by having a Sumo Match between Big Show and Akebono!! But Big Show had other ideas. He decided to throw salt in the eyes of Akebono and then crush a steal chair over his head. As you know I don’t mind the odd but of hardcore action but tonight was not the night. Tonight I wanted to showcase what was great about what Akebono did. I checked on the status of Akebono and he is getting his eyes flushed out and could have a pretty ad concussion and will definitely not make SMACKDOWN next week!! And probably won’t be on WWE television until THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH!! But let’s change the subject. I don’t want this to be a dour promo on how much I am annoyed. Let’s make this good and I have a huge announcement. I think everyone has saw that over the past few weeks that vignettes have aired that the greatest superstar in the history of SMACKDOWN will return!! Those are cool vignettes and they are true. I have made the biggest signing in the history of SMACKDOWN!! And in four weeks time this man will make his triumphant return to this great show!! The man I am referring to is a man who not that long ago his contract on RAW expired and he chose not to renew. So I took the opportunity to get one over on Eric Bischoff so I did!! I signed a man that will shake SMACKDOWN to its very foundations!! In four weeks time this man will make his return and this man will electrify!! (A huge cheer goes up and Rocky chants go up) You guessed who it is yet? That’s right in four weeks time right here on SMACKDOWN we will see the return of The Rock!! Have a nice day!!

Well newsflash Bill. In these parts you are just one of the guys!! In these part Bill you ain’t nothing special. You might have been some big cat back in the doldrums of WCW and you may think that you deserve the spotlight but let me let you in to a little secret!! Let me tell you a secret that some again may or may not have heard. Around these parts the spotlight belongs to good old HBK Shawn Michaels!! Okay I admit that wasn’t really a secret but what I said was true. I am the show stealer around these parts and I am the main event and I am the icon!! And most of all Bill this is not Atlanta, you don’t get what you crave and last week I showed you just that!! I showed that when you mess with me I kick your teeth down your throat!!

Goldberg: I have been waiting for this moment for a very long time Shawn!! You see Shawn the first time around when I was on RAW I fought you a couple of times and I won but that’s not what I wanted. Because Shawn I sat there and watched how you are in the locker room. With all your buddies. Showing me no respect. My first match I beat The Rock but yet not once did you approach me and say good job. Not once did you come to me and say welcome to RAW pal. What happened to the new Shawn Michaels? To the born again Shawn Michaels!! Huh Shawn? What happened? I’ll tell you what happened. You were scared of me!! You were scared of what I did in WCW and you were scared of what I could do here on RAW!! Shawn I didn’t want to beat you in the ring, I wanted to tear you limb from limb!! But I couldn’t because the brass wouldn’t allow their precious Shawn Michaels to be hurt!! Well guess what Shawn? This time around I don’t care what the brass says!! Shawn I detest you with all my being and when I choose my moment you will know that you’re next!!

Triple H’s music hits and he makes his way to the top of the ramp way!!

Triple H: Shawn’s right. Goldberg you don’t belong here on RAW!! RAW is my show and I didn’t want you here first time around and I sure hell don’t want you around this time around!! But that’s when Shawn is right stops because what he said about having the spotlight well I am the man who the spotlight should be on!! I am the game!! I am the Cerebral Assassin!! I am that damn good!! No one man can touch me and both you two know that first hand!! So it’s real simple. For me there is no room in The Bischoff Association for you and I Bill. So Eric I hope you are listening because I am only going to say this once. If you don’t fire that jackass right here tonight then I walk!! If don’t get rid of Bill Goldberg tonight then I leave The Bischoff Association and I assure you Eric I am one man you don’t want on the other team!!

SUMMERSLAM is coming!!

Vince McMahon’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring and grabs a microphone!!

Vince: How is everyone in Philadelphia? It has been a while since yours truly has been on MONDAY NIGHT RAW so I thought I would come here tonight to deliver some very important news for the WWE!! This news is huge. This news will change the face of one of our biggest Pay-Per-Views!! So far the summer of 2006 has been a blast!! In the summer of 2006 we have crowned a new King of the Ring in the name of John Cena!! How about that. That was huge!! And in a couple of weeks THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH will have a historic Yokohama Street Fight between Big Show and Akebono!! And also over on SMACKDOWN later this month we will see the return of the great one!! The return of The Rock!! Damn even I am excited about The Rock returning!! What a great summer it has been already and the signal for the end of the summer is an event called SUMMERSLAM!! Before I came out here you all saw an advert for SUMMERSLAM and I have a huge announcement regarding the future of SUMMERSLAM!! From this year onwards the biggest party of the summer will be one hour longer!! That’s right SUMMERSLAM will now rival WRESTLEMANIA and be a huge four hours long!! Four hours long for SUMMERSLAM!! Now with that out of the way let’s get down to the business at hand and that is the performance of the General Manager of RAW Eric Bischoff!! Many feel that Eric has been out of control in recent months and quite frankly I would have to agree with those statements!! But before I go on any longer I would like to say what I want to say to this man’s face to Eric Bischoff get your ass out here!!

Eric Bischoff’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring!!

Vince: Now Eric I don’t want you to say a word. You have done more than enough talking to last a lifetime over the past few weeks!! When I appointed you as the General Manager of RAW back in year 2002 I hired you to take RAW to new levels. And to be fair I feel you did that fairly well. But ever since WRESTLEMANIA 22 you have been on an ego trip!! Ever since WRESTLEMANIA you have made the show I created all about Eric Bischoff!! You made The Bischoff Association and you recruited Randy Orton and Edge to be your henchmen!! Then you brought Triple H back over from SMACKDOWN and then you hired Goldberg!! Now I don’t know what you are trying to do but I heard you wanted to take over the WWE. I heard you wanted me out of the way so you could step in and make up for putting WCW in the ground!! Well I am here Eric why don’t you get your men out here and try and take over the WWE!! That’s right Eric you ain’t going to do a damn thing. Eric you don’t have the balls to take me on. I proved that back in the day. Eric I employed you to do a job not so you can over take me in the food chain. Eric there is no chance in hell that you are your Association will ever be in control of the WWE!! And also Bischoff the board of directors have came up with a solution to the problem that is you!! Personally I wanted to fire your ass but apparently you still a couple of years on your contract and I don’t want to give you any more money than I have to!! So I agreed to the solution the board of directors came up with!! They said to me that they want to appoint a Co-General Manager like they did a few years ago with Stone Cold and Mick Foley. But don’t worry it won’t be Austin or Foley.

Bischoff: Come on Vince you don’t have to do that. I will step back and give other talent a chance. I promise. I will be a better GM for the fans!!

Vince: SHUT UP!! Don’t ever interrupt me again!! Eric you will have a 50-50 partner in the running of RAW because you have proved without a shadow of a doubt that you can’t be trusted with the show all by yourself!! So without any further ado the new Co-General Manager of MONDAY NIGHT RAW is ………………………………………………………………… … PAUL HEYMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paul Heyman’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring!! Heyman gets into the ring and shakes the hand of Vince McMahon!! Vince leaves the ring and then Heyman claps his hand as Bischoff looks in complete shock!! Heyman then laughs in the face of Bischoff and pushes Bischoff over on his ass!!

JR: Oh my god what have we just seen!! We have a new Co-General Manager of RAW and his name is Paul Heyman!! Paul Heyman is back in the WWE!! Heyman and Bischoff hate each other!! How on earth will Heyman and Bischoff work together!!

Paul Heyman laughs at Eric Bischoff some more as RAW goes off air!!

THURSDAY JULY 6TH 2006

A video package of Kurt Angle beating JBL last week is shown!!

The SMACKDOWN titles roll and then the pyro goes off in the arena!! Marilyn Manson’s Beautiful People belts out as the camera pans around the fans as Michael Cole and Tazz welcome us to SMACKDOWN!!

Cole: For the second straight event the WWE has landed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and this time the A show SMACKDOWN is in the limelight!! We are just ten days away from THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH and what a night we have in store!! Hello everyone I am Michael Cole and I am alongside my broadcast partner Tazz!!

Kurt Angle’s music hits and makes his way to the ring and grabs a microphone!!

Angle: The holiday season is upon us and everyone is in the holiday spirit. The 4th of July holidays are a time were all Americans can celebrate everything to do with America. Well I am not in a party mood!! The saying what have you done for me recently comes to mind!! Every single night I come out here and without fail you ungrateful parasites boo the crap out of your American hero!! I am embarrassed to represent you people!! It’s true, it’s true. Another embarrassment to American is the so called General Manager of this show Mick Foley!! Mick Foley goes around thinking he is a big shot. Mick Foley goes around bully people!! Mick Foley you are a joke of a General Manager. Last Monday on RAW Paul Heyman was announced as the new Co-General Manager alongside Eric Bischoff and quite frankly I wouldn’t mind seeing you put in your place and having to share duties!! I am Kurt Angle dammit. I deserve to be in the WWE Championship picture and what Mick Foley is doing to me is an absolute disgrace!! A man of my calibre doesn’t need number one contender matches to justify getting a WWE Championship match!! I am Olympic Gold Medallist at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. Mick this is how it is going to happen here tonight!! I am going to stay in this ring until I am in the WWE Championship match at THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH!! At the top of the show everyone saw that last week I beat the WWE Champion John Bradshaw Layfield in the middle of this ring!! I don’t need to prove myself anymore!! Mick I am not leaving this ring until you come out here and make the match at THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH a triple threat match!! Come on Mick. Do the right thing!!

Mick Foley’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring and picks up a microphone!!

Foley: Kurt you want me to do the right thing. In your eyes the right thing is to insert you in the main event at THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH. In my eyes that is not the right thing to do. That is not the right thing to do because a month ago Eddie Guerrero won a number one contender tournament to earn his place against JBL at THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH!! Eddie Guerrero beat you Kurt in that final to earn his spot. And ever since then you have moaned night in night out about not being in the main event. So I gave you a chance!! Since SMACKDOWN is the land of opportunity I gave you an opportunity!! I told you had to beat JBL and then beat Charlie Haas. If you beat the two champions then you get your wish!! And guess what Kurt that is not going to change!! Last week you did beat the WWE Champion JBL and well done on that but tonight if you want to be in the WWE Championship match at THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH you will have to defeat the United States Champion Charlie Haas right here tonight in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania!!

Eddie Guerrero’s music hits and he runs down to the ring and goes for Kurt Angle but then Angle quickly leaves the ring!! Mick Foley then holds back Eddie Guerrero!!

Foley: Eddie. Eddie calm down Eddie. Eddie there is no good in fighting Kurt tonight!! Eddie you need to keep fresh for your match later tonight with JBL!! That’s right THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH is coming early!! But it won’t be for the title!! And Kurt as far as your concerned your match with Charlie Haas will be right now!!

Mick Foley’s music hits and he backs Eddie Guerrero out of the ring and up the ramp way and Eddie doesn’t take his eyes of Kurt Angle!! Angle gets back in the ring and takes his t-shirt off and pulls his straps up and warms up!!

Come on did you really think I was going to have a Sumo Match with that piece of trash? Hell no I wasn’t!! I am a five hundred pound wrecking machine. Not a joke who prances around in his underwear!! That is all Akebono is. He is a joke. Akebono has no real talent. Lifting another individual off his feet and putting them out of a circle is not a talent!! And quite frankly will never be a talent. Whereas I am a wrecking machine who has won two WWE Championships!! Now that is talent. I have won the US Championship. Now that is talent!! I have won the old WCW Championship. Now that is talent. I have won multiple tag team titles. Now that is talent. Not only am I a wrecking machine but I can wrestle. I can wrestle and the best in this business can verify that. And come THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH my talent will shine through were Akebono will be out of his depth!! At THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH Akebono will not know what has hit him!!

Mick Foley’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring!!

Big Show: What the hell do you want?

Foley: I suggest you take that tone out of your mouth!! Last week I wanted to see a Sumo Match between Akebono and Big Show. But that didn’t happen and we all know why. We all know why and we all know how. Akebono did suffer a concussion last week and fortunately has not suffered anymore ill effects to his eyes. So with that being said I got in touch with the people that represent Akebono and I offered them an invitation. I offered them the kind of invitation they couldn’t refuse!! I offered them a chance to meet you in this ring three days before THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH!! I offered Akebono the chance to come to SMACKDOWN next week and look you in the eye and show that he will not back down to you Big Show!! Next week Akebono will get the chance to look you in the eye and show no fear!! Next week will be the final face off before THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH and I assure you Show that I will not be doing what I done earlier tonight between RVD and Booker T!! I will not be getting security in if Akebono decides to turn things up a notch!!

Big Show: You think I’m scared Foley? I don’t care what he does next week. I will just rip him apart like what I did last week!!

Foley: Like I said next week anything goes!! But that is next week. Don’t think you are getting the night off. Since you don’t want to participate in Sumo matches why don’t we have a good old fashioned wrestling bout? Next you face Mark Jindrak!!

Matthews: JBL what is your reaction to the main event at THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH being changed to a triple threat match to allow Kurt Angle into the match?

JBL: My reaction Josh? My reaction is that it’s a freakin travesty!! I may not like Eddie Guerrero but at least he earned his way into a match with me!! Kurt Angle whined and complained and there is nothing more I hate is a whiner and a complainer!! Kurt thinks he can beat me well newsflash. I am the WWE Champion and I am a wrestling god!! Angle can come close to my talent and I don’t care if there is a chance that I may not be pinned but lose my title because I am that good that I will make sure that will not happen!! Kurt Angle thinks he is the best then at THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH Kurt Angle will have a wakeup call of epic proportions!! Mark my words!!

Nunzio’s music hits and he comes down to the ring alongside Steven Richards and The Blue Meanie who are wearing BWO t-shirts!!

Nunzio: Was everyone a little surprised at what they saw last week? Big Show took out Akebono. Oh my god!! Kurt Angle beat the WWE Champion JBL. Oh my god!! No none of them didn’t come close to the biggest shock of last week!! The biggest shock of last week was the return of the BWO!! No one turned up last week to SMACKDOWN and expected to see Nunzio, Stevie Richards and The Blue Meanie to show up and take out the Cruiserweight Champion in the fashion we did!! We took him out so bad he isn’t even here tonight!! A few weeks ago I made a statement by taking what will be mine at THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH when I officially become the Cruiserweight Champion!! And last week I rubber stamped that statement when I had the vision to bring back the most dangerous group in the history of professional wrestling!! Evolution, the NWO, DX, the Four Horseman they don’t come close to what we are!! And what we will become!! When I officially take this beautiful title belt at THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH then I guarantee there will be no stopping the BWO from running through the SMACKDOWN roster!! With these two men by my side then I assure each and every one of you that we will not stand back and have people dis-respect us!!

Heyman: Hands up if you were a teeny weenie bit surprised when yours truly showed up on RAW last week!! One man who should have his hand in the air is my brand new 50/50 partner Eric Bischoff!! Eric last week you looked like you seen a ghost!! A little surprised Eric? Well I got call over the weekend and at first when Vince pitched the idea to me I wasn’t to up on the idea but we continued to talk and Vince told me that anything Eric Bischoff does then I have to agree to it or it won’t happen!! That sentence alone sends a shiver down my spine and I like it!! Eric there is no doubt that we don’t like each other but I feel we have to put the past in the past for the sake of this great show called Paul Heyman and Eric Bischoff’s MONDAY NIGHT RAW!! I was also told Eric you tried to talk Vince out of putting me in the job and Eric that is not a good idea because it is like this Eric. Paul Heyman is here on RAW and Paul Heyman is here on RAW to stay!! So let’s spice some things up. No longer will the Bischoff Association be in full charge of RAW and no longer will they be getting what they want!! Starting of this moment!! Ever since KING OF THE RING your World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton has not defended his World Heavyweight Championship and I feel it is high time that very prestigious championship was defended one time before SUMMERSLAM!! Now we all know John Cena gets a title shot at SUMMERSLAM and I have no problem with that. But since Eric you are not here yet tonight then I have brought it on myself to make a main event that will be huge for my first RAW as 50/50 partner of RAW. Randy you will defend the World Heavyweight Championship in this very ring against Y2J Chris Jericho!! Oh and before I forget we will have a special guest referee for that match and his name is one John Cena!! I love my new job!! So moving on from that I have another huge announcement for you great people of Iowa. There has been a superstar who got injured a few months back and he has been ready for competition for a good few weeks now but the old regime would not allow him back on RAW for what reason I have no clue. I have no clue because this superstar is a fans favourite. This man loves to fly. This man can be extreme. And everyone knows I like a bit of extreme!! This returning superstar will also get a title shot tonight. This returning superstar will get an Intercontinental Championship shot against the Intercontinental Champion Edge!! So who will be Edge’s opponent tonight well it is going to be this man!!

Triple H: I have one question and one question only. Where the hell is Eric Bischoff? Dammit I want to know where Bischoff is and if I don’t find out then for sure Paul Heyman you won’t get your main event for the title!! I don’t care about the World Heavyweight Championship tonight I want know where the hell Eric Bischoff is? Eric I know you are not here tonight and when I see you again I want answers. I want answers when you do decide to return to RAW!! Eric you owe me the damn truth!! I need to know why you brought back Bill Goldberg and decided you couldn’t trust me as the top guy on this show!! Eric you brought me back to be the man and take the Bischoff Association to the next level and I did that. And I am capable of taking it another level further. But instead you bring back that overrated WCW chump Goldberg. Eric this is the WWE not WCW. In the WWE we have the best of the best. You don’t need overrated monkeys from Atlanta!! Eric as I have said before you can’t have both of us. It’s one or the other. Eric your choice is simple. Either you want Goldberg in the Bischoff Association or you want the game Triple H in the Bischoff Association!! And I want the answer at the very latest next week on RAW!!

Batista’ music hits and he makes his way to the top of the ramp way with a microphone in hand!!

Batista: Triple H a few weeks ago at the KING OF THE RING do you remember what happened? Do you remember what you did in the World Heavyweight Championship match between Randy Orton and myself?

Triple H: Damn right I remember Dave. I got a sledgehammer and nailed you in the head with it costing you the World Heavyweight Championship and therefore not getting another shot while Orton was champion!!

Batista: That’s right. You cost me the World Heavyweight Championship. You cost me the one thing that means the world to me. You cost me the one thing I have dedicated my life for. You cost me everything. So my advice to you Hunter is to stop bitching and moaning about Goldberg and start concentrating on me!! You better start focusing on me Hunter because I will not forget and I will forgive. So what that means Hunter is that I will not stop until I get what I want and that is to rip you limb from limb!!

Triple H: Dave listen up. Back in the day. You know back in the days of Evolution. Myself and Ric Flair always saw you as a huge superstar but also lacked one key ingredient. You lack one main thing Dave. And that is brains. Batista you have all the strength in the world but you don’t have one bit of intelligence in you!! Because if you did you would know I don’t care what you think and that what I want is Eric Bischoff to get to this ring and tell me what I want to here!!

Batista: The Triple H I know wouldn’t be bitching and moaning about kissing the ass of Eric Bischoff. Triple H I think you have became soft!! Hunter you have become Bischoff’s lap dog!! You go around doing whatever he tells you. What happened to the game!! What happened to the man that led DX? What happened to the man who created Evolution? I will tell you. The man who I formally knew left the WWE when he got beat from JBL at JUDGMENT DAY!! Hunter you have become a shell of your former self and when I get my hands on you I will make sure we never see Triple H back in the WWE!!

Batista’s music hits and he drops his microphone!! Triple H drops his microphone and then motions that Batista should come to the ring!! Before Batista can walk to the ring a bunch of security guards stand infront of Batista in the middle of the ramp way!! Both men talk trash to each other as Batista backs up the ramp way!!

We then see Randy Orton and Chris Jericho warming up before the main event and then we cut to Todd Grisham with the special guest referee John Cena!!

Grisham: He is the special guest referee for the World Heavyweight Championship match which is up next, he is John Cena!! John as I said you are referee for the title match. How will you stay impartial in this match?

Cena: Todd are you suggesting that I won’t call this match straight down the middle? Are you suggesting that I will somehow cost Randy Orton the World Heavyweight Championship? No I won’t!! I won’t screw Orton tonight because Paul Heyman has trusted me to do a job tonight. I have been trusted to referee one of the biggest main events in the history of RAW and I will do it right!! And by doing it right I mean I will call right down the middle unless a certain Randy Orton decides to provoke yours truly!! Then I may not be able to control what happens next!!

JR: Orton vs Jericho with John Cena the referee is next!!

JBL: Incase any of you ingrates in Minneapolis have forgotten John Bradshaw Layfield is the WWE Champion!! I am the WWE Champion and that means I am the representation for the WWE!! That means that I am the standard bearer of the WWE!! That means that I am the man!! No one else!! Just me!! I earned this WWE Championship in a gruelling 60 Minute Iron Man Match back at JUDGMENT DAY without breaking a sweat!! And ever since the man who is supposedly in charge as General Manager Mick Foley has gone out his way to screw me out of what is rightfully mine!! Mick Foley has put superstar after superstar infront of me to try and take my WWE Championship away from me but he has failed!! He has failed because of all the characteristics I posses!! I am a leader of men and that is why Ric Flair stayed on SMACKDOWN and decided to become my senior adviser in my cabinet!! A man decorated as Ric Flair is knew what team to pick because he knew how good I am!! Not only am I a leader of men my skills in this squared circle are second to none!! I am at the peak of my career and in the best shape of my life hence why everyone in the world calls me a wrestling god!!

Kurt Angle’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring and picks up a microphone!!

Angle: Did you just say you were a wrestling god?

JBL: You’re damn right I said it and I will say it again!! I am a wrestling god!!

Angle: You think you are a wrestling god? Personally it is my opinion that you are a wrestling fraud!! And in my opinion in just three days you will be saying goodbye to that WWE Championship and the WWE Championship will be saying hello to yours truly Kurt Angle!! It’s true. It’s true!! JBL I beat in in one on one competition just two weeks ago. Infact I have the footage to prove it. So if you could play the footage and show just how good I am!!

A video package showing Kurt Angle beating JBL from two weeks ago is shown!!

Angle: Haha that was a good night!! Ever since that night JBL the seed of doubt has been put into your head!! Ever since that night you have been doubting yourself night in and night out!! Ever since I beat you JBL you keep thinking what if. What if Kurt Angle beats me again? What if Kurt Angle puts me in the ankle lock? What if I lose the WWE Championship at THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH?!! Well JBL this Sunday it won’t be what if it will be when!! It will be when I take the WWE Championship away from you because it has been too long since the last time I was WWE Champion and I will not rest until I once again become the WWE Champion!!

Eddie Guerrero’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring and picks up a microphone!!

Eddie: All this talk of you are going to be WWE Champion and you are going to be WWE Champion and quite frankly I don’t care what you say because this Sunday it is not a talk show it is THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH!! This Sunday we face off in a triple threat match!! That means that if I pin JBL I become the WWE Champion and if I pin Kurt Angle I become the WWE Champion!! So champ I wouldn’t like to be in your shoes this Sunday!!

Angle: Eddie when I pin you I will become the WWE Champion!!

Eddie: Is that right? Remind me who I beat to become the original number one contender Kurt? Who was that again? Oh yeah Kurt that was me and this Sunday I will have no problem kicking your ass again and becoming WWE Champion!!

JBL: You are forgetting one thing and that is me!! You will not underestimate John Bradshaw Layfield!! I am a wrestling

Mick Foley’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring and steals Kurt Angle’s microphone!!

JBL: How dare you interrupt the WWE Champion!! Who in the hell do you think you are?

Foley: JBL I am the General Manager of SMACKDOWN that is who I am!! And I will interrupt who I please!! I came out here because I didn’t want the last SMACKDOWN before THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH to be a slagging match of the participants in the triple threat saying they will walk out of this Sunday as the WWE Champion!! Oh no I didn’t want that to happen!! So what I thought was that since that is this Sunday we need a main event for tonight!! We need a main event and I was racking my brains to see what I could come up with for the good people of Minneapolis, Minnesota!! So what I came up with was this. We will have our self a triple threat match!! No we will have our self a triple threat tag team match!! The team of Eddie Guerrero & Rey Mysterio will be in one corner!! The team of Kurt Angle and the number one contender for the United States Championship Carlito in another corner and the team of JBL and Ric Flair in the other corner!! And that is my final judgment and have a nice day!!

Foley: Show you done something that is unforgiveable in my book two weeks ago and I am sure this Sunday Akebono will rip you apart but as far as tonight goes I want everything to run smoothly!! I want one final face off tonight and leave the fighting until THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH!!

Show: Mick I have done everything I need to do to Akebono!! I am already in his head so I will go out there tonight and I will be a man and offer my hand and have a good talk with Akebono!! You better go tell Akebono to do the same thing!!

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Mick Foley’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring and takes a microphone!!

Foley: This is it. In just 3 short days it will be the first ever Yokohama Street Fight between Big Show and Akebono at THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH!! And right here tonight in Minneapolis, Minnesota is the final face off and without further ado let’s welcome Akebono!!

Akebono’s music hits and he and his entourage make their way to the ring and shake hands with Mick Foley!!

Foley: Welcome Akebono back to SMACKDOWN. Next up his opponent for THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH the Big Show!!

Big Show’s music hits and he slowly makes his way to the ring with a huge grin on his face!!

Foley: So the object of this final face off is for both men to give their final thoughts ahead of the Yokohama Street Fight and first up Akebono!!

Akebono: When Mick phoned me up and told me how he wanted to make history I was excited. When Mick described what he wanted to do with me and you I saw it as another great challenge in my career. That’s why I said yes to all of this. That’s why I agreed to face you. But along the way you thought it would be a good idea to make things personal. Along the way Big Show you thought by taking me out you would get into my head. Let me tell you what I think because for weeks now all you have done is trash talk and hit cheap shots. I don’t mind the trash talk so much but what I do mind is the cheap shots. Big Show what I think is that you resorted to cheap shots because you know in your heart, deep down in your heart that you can’t beat Akebono in a Yokohama Street Fight at THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH!! When we first met in this ring I pushed you out of this ring and ever since that day you knew you couldn’t beat me in any kind of match we had!! I am Akebono and I am the Japanese Warrior and I don’t blame you for getting scared but you didn’t need to make it personal!! You made it personal when before our Sumo Match a couple of weeks ago you decided to attack me and put stitches in my head!! Making this thing personal was the last I repeat the last thing you wanted to do!! Because since you have made it personal this Sunday at THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH you will not know what has hit you!! You will not know what has hit you when you get in the same ring as me!!

Big Show: You really believe the crap that just came out of your mouth? By god that was emotional Akebono!! It really was. Come on man you expect me to believe that you will run me down? You expect me to believe that you are in control? Ake can I call you Ake? Ake I have came out here a few times and ran you down with my words but I only did that because you were too scared to show up!! When you pushed me out of this ring you were too scared to show up because you knew I would tear you apart the next time I saw you!! You came back when Foley told you I wasn’t going to retaliate and I was willing to have the Sumo Match!! But it was all a lie!! I lured you back here to SMACKDOWN and I did what I had to do to send you a message!! I don’t care about Sumo matches and I don’t care about what you have done in your career!! I am a former WWE Champion!! That is all what matters!! And this Sunday I will go one step closer to becoming the WWE Champion once again when I not only beat you but when I end your career this Sunday!! That’s right I said it. This Sunday at THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH I will not stop until I end the career of the great Akebono!!

Foley: Now the final thoughts have been said can I ask both men to come forward and have the official photographs taken by the world media!!

Big Show and Akebono come forward and then they get their photos taken and then Big Show offers his hand!! Akebono stares into the eyes of Show as Show tells Akebono to be a man and shake his hand!! Akebono then goes to shake the hand but then Show pulls it away and turns away but then turns back and hits a right hand to the head of Akebono!! Akebono falls over and then his entourage pounce on Big Show but then Big Show gets out of the ring!! Big Show’s music hits and he heads up the ramp way as the entourage of Akebono checks on Akebono!!

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Michael Cole and Tazz look back at Big Show taking out Akebono with a right hand just three days before the Yokohama Street Fight at THE GREAT AMERICAN BASH!!

We then cut to the backstage area where Josh Matthews is with Rey Mysterio!!

Matthews: In three days my guest at this time takes on the Nature Boy Ric Flair. Rey Mysterio. Rey what are your thoughts going into this match?

Mysterio: I can’t wait to get my hands on Flair Josh. You see this all started when I tried to talk Flair out of retirement. We all thought he was going to retire after he couldn’t beat JBL for the WWE Championship but it was a set up. It’s not the first time I have been set up and probably won’t be the last but I thought Ric Flair was better than that!! I thought Flair was a legend of this great business but the Flair that I have seen lately is a coward!! The Flair I have seen is not the Flair I thought I knew!! So this Sunday Josh I get my revenge!! And that revenge starts tonight!!

JBL & Ric Flair vs Eddie & Rey vs Angle & Carlito is later tonight!!

Billy the past few weeks have been tough for you with The BWO branding you, stealing your title belt and repeatedly attacking you. How will you be able to keep your composure to be able to retain your title tonight?

Kidman: It will be hard Josh!! It will be hard. When Nunzio wanted a title match then I thought fine let’s have a great match but over time he has went out his way to show what kind of human being he is!! Nunzio is low life and so are Stevie Richards and Blue Meanie. Those 3 men shouldn’t be on SMACKDOWN in my opinion!! They are low life and I think they need to be put in their place!! I don’t mind if Foley makes this match a 1 0n 3 Handicap Match because I want all 3 of them!! All 3. Tonight I need to remember that my title not his by the way, my title is on the line and when it is all set and done I will walk out of here with my title back where it belongs!!

SUMMERSLAM is coming!!

A video package showing the rivalry between Billy Kidman and Nunzio is then shown!!
