Kane vs. the Hurricane
As Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler spoke about what just went down in the ring, Kane's pyro went off to interrupt them and he made his way out to the ring for a one on one contest against his former tag team partner, the Hurricane!
The Hurricane gave Kane a number of hard right hands to start it off but Kane easily battled back with a knee to the mid section. The Hurricane then went off the ropes and then he stopped and lured Kane to the outside of the ring.

Kane gave the Hurricane a sidewalk slam and then he planted him with the choke slam and then the pin for the three count to pick up the easy win.
Kane went to set off his pyro as he normally does but nothing happened and that angered Kane.
Kane attempted to do it again but once again, nothing. The fans heavily chanted "Taker, Taker!" and Kane continued to get pissed off. Kane finally got his pyro to go off and he smiled and then the lights went purple and another weird video played on the Titantron to freak Kane out. This time, it said "In 34 days, the dead will rise again!" with many shots of the Undertaker in his old form.
Chris Benoit was shown walking through the backstage area and Eric Bischoff showed up. Benoit asked Eric what kind of GM is he? What was that all about? Eric said that he has every right to be upset and he has every right to be here on RAW. By winning the Rumble, he earned the right to face the Champion at Wrestlemania but he has a problem; Shawn's signature is on the contract and he is going to work that out. But Eric is going to give Benoit something he wants and something he deserves but next week live on RAW, it is going to be Chris Benoit vs. Shawn Michaels!
Terri was shown with Randy Orton and she asked him for his thoughts going into tonight's match? Randy said that it's completely unfair that he has to defend his title this close to Wrestlemania, let alone in a Triple Threat Match against RVD and Booker T. He doesn't even have to get pinned to lose! And to top it off, he has to worry about Mick Foley. Last week, Randy had Shawn Michaels beat and then Mick Foley gets involved. His thoughts are that it's a conspiracy!
Goldberg was shown walking through the backstage area and he looked as though he were leaving but Coach caught up with him and asked him what he's going to do now that he's been suspended by Mr. McMahon? Goldberg said he doesn't think he made himself clear. You see, he doesn't give a damn what anybody says. He's still got his ticket, he's still going to No Way Out and oh yes, Brock Lesnar is still next!
Mick Foley's music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring with a little something on his mind. Mick thanked the fans for their cheers and he said that he wants to make it very clear that he did not come out here tonight to screw up Randy Orton's Intercontinental Championship match. He came out here to explain to everyone in Portland, Oregon and around the world that on December 14, 2003, he turned his back and walked away on a match with Randy Orton. Now some people called him a coward, some people didn't. But one man became fixated with the idea that Foley is a coward. Randy Orton became obsessed with the idea of Mick Foley as coward and if his history tells him one thing, it tells him that when one individual becomes obsessed with one individual's faults, usually that person has something to hide of his own. What does this tell us about Randy Orton?
Mick would like to tell everyone a story about a young soldier. There he is, young Randall Orton, who joined the United States Marine Core to serve his country and do the United States of America proud, but this isn't the story of silver star, purple hearts or combinations of any kind. No, when it comes to Randy Orton, it's the story of a man who went AWOL, Absent Without Leave for 82 days. A story of a man who was given early dismissal for bad conduct. It's not the story of a man who walked away from a wrestling match, it's a story of a man who turned his back on his country. Mick said that when Randy Orton talks about a gutless coward, was he talking about himself? Mick gives Randy the ultimate chance to redeem himself. He refers to himself as a legend but as far as Mick is concerned, there is only one place and one time when a wrestler becomes a legend. That place is Wrestlemania and that time is March 14, 2004. He can call it the battle of the legends or the battle of the cowards. He doesn't give a damn. But what he wants is Randy Orton in one corner, Mick in the other. What he wants is a piece of Randy Orton's ass at Wrestlemania!
Randy appeared on the Titantron to answer the challenge and he asked Mick how does he know if he's going to have the match or walk out? If they want to settle their issues and if Mick wants to prove to Randy and the entire world that he isn't a coward, then they do it on Randy's terms. That's right, one on one right here, right now. Randy said that he's in catering, so if he wants him, come get him. Mick told Randy that if he wants him back in catering, then he's on his way! Mick then got out of the ring to head to the backstage catering area and he asked Dave Hebner where Randy was and Dave told him straight away. Randy was seen standing in the room alone and Mick entered the room only to get surrounded by Batista and Flair.
Mick took a look at them and then he charged at Randy Orton and beat up on him until Flair and Batista pulled him off. Batista rammed Mick Foley into a wall and then he picked him up and held onto him as Ric Flair gave him a number of hard right hands. Batista then lifted Mick Foley up and gave him a power bomb through a table in the catering area. Randy Orton then hovered over Foley and slapped him in the head a few times. Randy seemingly left the room but he returned with a hard kick to Mick Foley's head to leave him laying.
