Kurt Angle, Mark Jindrack, Luther Reigns, Carlito Carribean Cool vs. Big Show, RVD, John Cena, Eddie Guerrero
Smackdown Elimination Match: Team Angle vs. Team Guerrero
Cena comes out last, and chases Carlito and Jesus backstage, taking the fight to the parking lot, shouting to Carlito “you send your boy after ME?!?!” as the two steal a car and drive away. Meanwhile back at the ring, the teams stand off and fight outside of the ring. Big Show drags Jindrak into the ring as the match officially starts. RVD gets tagged in, beats on Jindrak, and now it’s Eddie’s turn, but Jindrak takes it like a man, until he can finally tag Angle in. Eddie in the heel corner, and they take turns beating on the former Champion, although Eddie looks super-cute in his new black and teal tights. Mark Jindrak starts getting cocky, doing the Rick Rude pelvic twist to loud heat, and Eddie’s able to make the hot tag to RVD. Angle in, and RVD with kicks an dtwirly things galore, followed by a five-star frogsplash on an interfering Jindrak. Angle pins RVD using the ropes behind Charles Robinson’s back, and RVD is first eliminated. Jindrak is quickly eliminated by Eddie using the ropes, to even things up. Show and Reigns in, and they trade blows before Reigns starts working on Show’s injured ankle. That’s short-lived as Show pins Luther after a chokeslam. Show about to chokeslam Angle but reversed into an anklelock. Show reverses and Kurt’s out of the ring and up the ramp, giving up. RVD appears on the ramp, however, and Angle backs back up toward the ring, into the arms of Big Show. Funny spot where Angle tries to beg off Show. Back in the ring, and Cena FUs Kurt, followed by Eddie and a frogsplash, but Show’s the legal man, so he comes in for the pin, and Kurt’s eliminated giving Team Guerrero the win!

Evolution talks about how Snitsky is a loose cannon and how they are going to win and run RAW for the next two weeks, putting Edge and Snitsky in a position where “they aren’t gonna be in any shape to challenge for anything.” As HHH leaves the room, Batista tells Flair how “I can’t wait until it’s my week to run RAW.”
Video package for the main event.

HHH and Batista comes out with Flair to Evolution’s theme song, followed by Snitsky and then Edge. They also show a replay of the Maven injury angle.
RAW Elimination Match for one month control of RAW: Randy Orton, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho and Maven vs. HHH, Batista, Gene Snitsky and Edge w/Ric Flair
Gene Snitsky’s goatee rivals only Spike Dudley’s van dyke, as former friends and Tag Team Champions Edge and Benoit start the match and the bell rings. J.R. explains that Maven’s out and then discusses elimination rules. Snitsky in, as well as Orton, and the ladies scream. I’ll let you guess for whom. Kick to the gut for Orton, and Randy’s on the offensive, then poses! Jericho in, wedgie to Gene, then Chris gets tah kickin’ on Gene’s midsection. Jericho knocked down with a lariat, and HHH is in. Quick tag to Randy, and the third generation wrestler pounds his former mentor into the floor, stomping a proverbial mudhole in him. BUT THE HIGH KNEE turns the tables, and DAVE is in, throwing the master of the RKO into quite a predicament. Tattoos are flying everywhere, and Batista’s 318 pounds are no match for Randy’s. Edge comes in AND DOES THE RKO POSE! Pounding of Randy into the mat, standing dropkick, taunting, but Randy turns the tide and tags in Benoit who is a suplex machine. Batista’s the legal man, but HHH’s getting his arse kicked. No Edge is the legal man. No HHH is. Oops. Benoit suplexes Edge ONTO The Game, then does a flying headbutt on BOTH Edge and HHH! Sharpshooter on Triple H, dragged to the ceneter of the ring, and SNITSKY breaks it up, and gets a little too close for comfort to the ref. Edge in the Crossface, HHH Pedigree on Benoit, who then gets pinned by Edge! Jericho in and Edge with the swinging neckbreaker, then Snitsky and HHH argue over who he tagged in! They shove each other, HHH is on the ground! Dave and Gene go face to face and ALMOST MAKE OUT, but HHH’s in the WALLS of Manhasset, and all hell breaks loose! Jericho and HHH the legal men in the ring, and Flair breaks up the Lionsault, but the ref sees it and kicks Flair to the back! Flair’s jacket is off and he throws it at a fan as the crowd wakes up, like, huge! Randy illegally doubleteams DAVE along with Jericho as the ref continues to argue with Flair, and batista beats them both down with a double clothesline, and then poses all metrosexual-like, calls Jericho a MUTHAFUCKA, and is about to go after Jericho when Randy hits DAVE with the World Title, and Jericho pins him! Batista gets one clothesline in on Jericho before leaving, and it’s now Jericho and HHH in the match, with Snitsky and Randy (and Maven?) still alive. Snitsky is tagged in, and takes a beating to Jericho. J.R. and King debate whether or not Lita’s miscarriage was Gene’s fault, then realize oops there’s a match going on, and HHH has been left without any members of Evolution at ringside! Edge and Jericho in the ring now, and they’re both down for the count. Tag to Gene, running elbow drop to Jericho, knocks Randy off the apron, Randy back in, then tossed back out as Edge and HHH kick his proverbial ass as Jericho DDT’s Snitsky in the ring and goes for the tag – but no one’s in his corner! BUT WAIT! Maven stumbles out to the ring! Jericho makes the hot tag, and Maven does his best to prove he’s TOUGH ENOUGH to be in the main event by TAKING IT to Snitsky! And then HHH! And then Edge! He tosses Gene out, tosses Edge out, hits the MAVEN EFFECT (top turnbuckle DDT) on HHH! But Snitsky’s in and hits Maven with a chair, and is DQ’d for the elimination! He hits Jericho with a chair, then Randy! HHH pins Maven and then tosses Jericho into the ring to continue the match. Edge is now in, as HHH rolls Jericho in, and Edge tries three covers, but none are successful. HHH tries the pedigree, reversed by Jericho, SPEAR by Edge, and Jericho’s OUT, leaving HHH and Edge vs. Orton. Orton crawls into the ring, picks himself up, and tells Edge and HHH to bring it on. Double-team on Orton in the corner, but Edge is the legal man, so HHH is back in his corner. Edge taunts Randy, back suplex, kickout! HHH in and they slug it out in the middle of the ring. DDT on Orton, 2! Another cover and another 2! Randy makes the comeback, dropkicks Edge into HHH, who falls to the floor, rollup for 2! HHH runs in and hits a spinebuster as the ref tries to get him out of the ring. Edge speak, Randy ducks out of the way, and he hits HHH! RKO on Edge, pin, 1-2-3! And Randy Savage comes down to the ring! And points! No. Penis punch on Orton, as it’s HHH and Randy with the final two. HHH sets Orton up for the Pedigree, taunts the crowd, and that’s proves costly as Randy REVERSES INTO THE RKO and gets the PIN 1-2-3!
Survivor: Randy Orton
Order of elimination: Benoit – pinned by Edge; Batista – pinned by Jericho; Snitsky – DQ’d; Maven – pinned by HHH; Jericho – pinned by Edge; Edge – pinned by Orton; HHH – pinned by Orton
HHH tossed out to the floor as Randy celebrates in the middle of the ring and in the corners!
