Backstage, Orlando Jordan is watching the events unfold in the ring from a video monitor.

They show a video recap of the continued Eddy-Rey fued. Rudo heroin baby!

Commercial break.

Backstage, Rey walks into Eddy’s office and asks him to reconsider. Reconsider what Eddy says. Rey tells Eddy to please not go there. Eddy says it isn’t about what Rey wants…. its about what Eddy wants. Eddy says tonight he has a chance to win the tag team titles and that Rey is going to be his partner. Eddy says forget about it, he will go ahead and tell everybody the truth about them. Rey has a quick change of heart and begs Eddy not to tell. Eddy says he thought Rey would see it his way.

Elsewhere, Muhammed Hassan is in Teddy Long’s office. He says it is his destiny to liberate the World Heavyweight title. Hassan says he was never officially pinned or submitted in the six man match last week. Hassan demands to be the #1 contender. Teddy agrees with him and makes a #1 contender match between The Undertaker and Muhammed Hassan at Great American Bash. Daivari objects so Teddy makes a match between Daivari and the Undertaker for TONIGHT! Holla!

Commercial break.

Rey hits the 6-1-9 on Nitro and then drops the dime with the springboard legdrop. Rey covers….1 ….2… Eddy breaks it up and beats his partner down! Eddy lays down on the corner ropes a la HBK in DX.

Postmatch, Eddy gets on the mic and goads Rey to punch him. He warns Rey that if he punches him, Eddy will tell the world their secret. Rey tries to leave, but Eddy tells him he can’t leave unless Eddy says so. Eddy has Rey open the ring ropes for Eddy so Eddy can exit the ring.

Commercial break.

Raw Rebound: HBK turned on Hulk Hogan after their victory over Kurt Angle and Carlito.

Commercial break.

Matt Morgan comes out to the ring to face William Regal when the MEXICOOLS come out and beatdown Matt Morgan so bad, he got fired. Tornado DDT by The Juice. Psicosis doesn’t have dreads this week, he has green spiked hair. When the juice says so the juice makes so! Your ass is grass and they are the lawn mowers! We’re not mexicans … we’re mexicools! I f*cking LOVE this gimmick.

Commercial break.

Daivari v. The Undertaker
Hassan called this a sacrifice for a greater good. There is a message scrolling across the bottom of the screen warning us about graphic content about to occur due to events that have recently happened in London. Whatever. Hassan continues to assure Daivari on the outside that it’s going to be ok. Daivari refuses to go into the ring, so Hassan grabs him and tosses him in. Taker grabs Daivari by the throat and quickly chokeslams him down. Hassan simply watches with a slight smirk on his face. Taker grabs Daivari and tombstones him for the 1-2-3!
Winner – The Undertaker

Hassan drops to his knees and does his arms extended pose. All of a sudden, five men in black sweaters, khaki pants, and black ski masks come out and jump Taker! One of the men has a lead pipe and he cracks Taker in the skull with it. Another man pulls out a cord and chokes Taker out with it. Hassan gets in the ring and locks on the camel clutch on a lifeless Taker. The five terrorists pick up Daivari and carry him to the back like he was Jesus Christ himself. I actually kinda dug that.

Commercial break.

Batista v. Christian
I do believe that this is non-title. Batista quickly tosses Christian on his ass. Christian gets in some punches, but Batista comes back with a shoulderblock takedown. Batista goozles the throat and hits a press slam. Batista dumps Christian to the outside and plays to the crowd as we take a commercial break.
