RAW Results November 24th:
The fireworks went off in the arena for the start of WWE RAW and tonight, we'll witness the return of the "RAW Roulette" as hosted by Eric Bischoff!
Eric Bischoff's music hit in the arena and he was in the ring with two Roulette girls and the roulette wheel. He welcomed everyone to RAW Roulette, saying that it's the most outrageous, titillating, exciting two hours on television! Now clearly, RAW Roulette is an idea straight out of the city of Las Vegas, but he couldn't think of a better way to bring some excitement to this dull little town than RAW Roulette. He knows a lot of guys here from Utah are sitting around asking your three or four wives what exactly is RAW Roulette? Well let him explain it, almost every match tonight is going to be determined by the spin of the RAW Roulette wheel. Almost every WWE Superstar can end up in the most outrageous matches you have ever seen and that will be determined by the wheel. What will we see? A first blood match? Or how about a last man standing match? Or what about a kiss my ass match? But wait, there's more because tonight, in the main event, it is going to be a rematch for the World Heavyweight Title in this very ring, Triple H faces Goldberg! So without any further adieu, let's get this show on the road!
As Eric Bischoff spun the wheel, Shawn Michaels made his way out to the ring and he was thrown out of the arena last week and he's making his presence felt here tonight. Shawn said that since Eric came out and interrupted his interview last week, he thought the least that he could do was come out here this week and uh, return the favor so here he is. Shawn wanted Eric to know that after he kicked him out of the building last week, he went home and did exactly what he said. He looked in the mirror and considered all that reverse psychology crap the tried to lay on him and as he looked in the mirror, the man staring back on him, had a clear conscience. Crystal clear! And he gave the fight of his life at Survivor Series and everybody knows it. Make no mistake about it, if it wasn't for Eric Bischoff and Evolution, Stone Cold Steve Austin would be here tonight. Batista's music hit in the arena and he made his way out with a mic in hand. Shawn said there's nobody up there stopping him, keep on walking and they can finish what they started! Batista told Shawn to wait a minute and he said that he didn't come out here to fight with Shawn, so he's not going to waste his time and roll around with Shawn. Honestly, he's got chunks bigger than him in his bowel movement. But what he did come out here for, he wanted to tell Shawn one thing. He agrees, he thinks Shawn is 100% right. He didn't cost Austin his job. You know how he knows that? Because Batista did when he power bombed Shawn's ass straight to hell. Shawn told Batista to come down to the ring and Eric Bischoff interjected, telling Batista to stop right there. Eric calmed Shawn and Batista down and told them that Batista vs. Shawn Michaels is a great idea. Damn, that is one hell of a great idea but he's already given Salt Lake City way too much. So here's what we're gonna do, we're gonna make Shawn Michaels vs. Batista at Eric Bischoff's next pay per view, Armageddon. But since they want each other so bad, he's got an idea. Why don't they go to the wheel and see if they can find a way to make a match. Oh wait, they don't have to because it's already on Bischoff's choice. Imagine that. Now what would Bischoff want to see tonight? He's got it. Eric Bischoff would love to see a tag team match tonight. Yeah, with Batista teaming up with Ric Flair to take on Shawn Michaels and his partner, who might that be... how about Shawn Michaels teaming with the man he went toe to toe with at Wrestlemania? How about Shawn Michaels teams up tonight to take on Batista and Ric Flair, how about he teams up with the same man that split his head open at Survivor Series? How about Shawn Michaels teams up tonight with Chris Jericho!
Steel Cage Match - Lita vs. Victoria
Lita's music hit in the arena and she made her way out to the ring just one week after being fired and rehired in the same night and as she got in the ring, Eric Bischoff appeared on the Titantron and he said to kill the music.
Eric then said that it is so good to see Lita again. My, she must have had a rough week. First of all, she loses her boyfriend and then she loses her job. He has to say that he wasn't exactly thrilled with Christian getting her job back, but come to think of it, keeping her around to play with might more entertaining than firing her in the first place. With that in mind, he knows he set up a match between her and Victoria, but to keep the excitement, he wants to introduce the Women's Champion, Molly Holly to spin the wheel to determine Lita's fate in her match tonight. Molly Holly then spun the wheel and it landed on a steel cage and this is the first time in the history of RAW that we will have two women in a steel cage!
Molly and Eric both agreed that it's dangerous and Bischoff sarcastically wished her good luck.
Lita attacked Victoria as she entered the steel cage and then she immediately launched her into the steel cage wall like a dart.
Lita went for a DDT but Victoria got out of it and knocked Lita down to the mat and then gave her a slingshot into the steel cage as the fans heavily chanted "Lita, Lita!"
Lita knocked Victoria down in the ring and then she attempted to climb out of the cage but Victoria climbed up with Lita and stopped her from getting out. Lita kicked Victoria down to the mat but Victoria quickly popped back up to pull Lita back into the ring. Victoria then slammed Lita from the top turnbuckle to the center of the ring and then Victoria pinned her but only got a two count.
Lita climbed up the ropes in another attempt to get out of the ring but she slipped and fell back into the ring as Victoria was down on the mat.
Lita later hit the moonsault on Victoria and then she crawled towards the cage door and tried to get out but Matt Hardy stormed to the ringside area and slammed the door on Lita's head. Victoria then crawled out of the cage to pick up the win over Lita, thanks to Matt Hardy.
Matt Hardy got in the ring to taunt Lita and Christian stormed to the ring and chased Matt Hardy out of the ring and after Matt left the ring, Christian showed compassion for Lita as her head was in pain.
Eric Bischoff was shown backstage and he said that he has a hell of an idea. When he turned around, his two ladies were with Randy Orton and Orton said he was telling them that come Armageddon, they're looking at the new Intercontinental Champion. Eric said that he was spinning the wheel and it came up on a Legend Killer Match for Randy Orton. Eric said that he flew in a very special legend for Randy Orton and his match is next! After Randy left, Eric started to talk to his ladies but the Hurricane and Rosey flew onto the scene. They have a match tonight and they're here to find out what it is. Eric said that tonight's match is Hurricane vs. Rosey. The only question is, what kind of match is it going to be? Eric Bischoff then spun the wheel and it landed on Capture the Midget and The Hurricane said that in the name that is all short and stout, what's up with that? Eric said he'll show him and he brought Fernando onto the scene and he's a midget and he ran off.
Eric told them that the first one who catches the midget and wins. Hurricane asked what if they refused? Eric said then it turns into loser gets fired match. Hurricane then told Rosey to wait there and he went off to catch the midget and when Rosey realized, he went after Hurricane. After they left, Eric Bischoff told his ladies that he loves his work.
Legend Killer Match - Randy Orton vs. Sgt. Slaughter
Evolution's music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring for a Legend Killer Match against the legendary Sgt. Slaughter!
Randy went for a right hand on Slaughter but Slaughter ducked it and immediately put Orton in the Cobra Clutch and Orton struggled until he got to the ropes as the fans heavily chanted "USA, USA!"
Sgt. Slaughter gave Randy Orton a gut buster and then he pinned him but only got a two count.
It should be noted that Sgt. Slaughter lost a ton of weight as compared to the last time we saw him wrestle, but he did look a little sickly.
Sgt. Slaughter put Randy Orton back in the cobra clutch but Orton was able to get to the ropes to break it.
Behind the referee's back, Orton gave Slaughter a low blow and then Orton planted Slaughter with the RKO to pick up the win.
After the match, Randy Orton stomped away on Sgt. Slaughter until Rob Van Dam hit the ring to make the save. RVD knocked Orton down to the mat and went for the frog splash but before RVD could jump, Orton rolled out of the ring and then RVD went and helped Slaughter up off the mat.
Val Venis was shown with Lance Storm and Storm asked Val if he's sure these girls are going to show? Val said they are and he brought him up to speed, these girls are from Utah, so they're going to have to go out of their way to make them believe they're more than just nice guys. The ladies showed up and Val introduced them to Lance Storm. Val asked them if they're ready to go out and have a great time? The blonde said that she heard wrestlers are a little crazy so they're nervous. Storm said nothing can be further from the truth, but as he said that, the midget ran by and Rosey and the Hurricane were attempting to catch him as the girls watched on. The girls asked what was that? Storm said that he has no idea. He doesn't know who they were, they're not with them.
The Coach was shown with Ric Flair and Coach said that Flair has to be proud that the Ultimate Ric Flair Collection is the fastest selling DVD in WWE history. Flair said that he's proud of his historic past, but he's more proud of Evolution. Tonight, Randy Orton has taken out another legend in Sgt. Slaughter. And later on tonight, the Heartbreak Kid has to wrestle against Ric Flair and Batista. Flair is confident and sure of what Batista will be doing, but how does Shawn feel about what his partner will be doing? And in just a few moments, Triple H, the World Heavyweight Champion will walk the aisle. Goldberg survived at Survivor Series but tonight, Triple H takes back what is rightfully his and that's the World Heavyweight Championship!
Matt Hardy was shown with Eric Bischoff and Eric was telling him that he doesn't want the fact that Lita is here let him down. Matt said that he has officially slammed the door on that chapter of his life. Eric took Matt Hardy's drink and put it on Stone Cold's book to use it as a coaster. Bischoff then said that everybody here on RAW wishes Stone Cold a Happy Thanksgiving and he hopes that Austin can gather himself and not break down again on his Wednesday Special because he'll never step foot on RAW again. Eric then told Matt Hardy to spin the wheel for his match and he did just that and it's a Strange Bedfellows Match. Eric said that this is all about tag team matches that we've never seen before. Superstars that have never wanted to tag up together. Matt said that's cool because everyone has wanted to team up with Mattitude! Matt left and Eric said that Matt will love it.
Goldberg was shown pumping himself up for his match against Triple H and that's coming up!
Strange Bedfellows Match - Christian and Matt Hardy vs. Bubba Ray and Garrison Cade
Matt Hardy's music hit in the arena and he made his way out to the ring with Bubba Ray Dudley and Garrison Cade already in the ring as partners.
Matt Hardy started it off in the ring against Bubba Ray and Christian shoved Matt right into Bubba and then Matt looked back at Christian like "What the hell?" Bubba and Matt then tied it up in the center of the ring and Matt whipped Bubba off the ropes but Bubba came back with a hard shoulder block to knock Matt down.
Bubba Ray gave Christian a Samoan drop and then he went to the second rope and came off with a senton but Christian rolled out of the way to avoid the impact. Christian then went to tag Matt Hardy but Matt dropped down from the ring apron and taunted Christian.
Bubba splashed Christian from behind and then gave him the Bubba Bomb and Garrison Cade tagged himself in and gave Christian a big elbow from the top rope and then pinned him for the three count to get the win!
Bubba Ray seemed baffled as to what Garrison Cade just did and Garrison showed Bubba some respect by giving him the belt but he pulled it back and Bubba snatched it. Bubba told Garrison that he and his partner better watch themselves.
Triple H was shown walking through the backstage area with Ric Flair and it's Triple H vs. Goldberg up next for the World Heavyweight Title!
Terri was shown with Shawn Michaels and she said that it seems as though Eric Bischoff has it out for Shawn Michaels as he'll be forced to team with Chris Jericho. Shawn said it's unfortunate because he thinks Chris Jericho is a really talented young man, the only problem is that they can't stand each other. Bischoff has the odds stacked against him, but he's going to beat those odds. Shawn left, telling Terri that there's a midget looking up her dress and it was Fernando, sneaking a peak. The Hurricane and Rosey then showed up and ran after Fernando as he took off.
