Not ONE singles match for the entire show….

Johnny Nitro is gone from the show’s intro.

Eric wants Kane to know that he has to name a new title contender because Kane lost. Kane walks it off, then destroys Eric’s office. Next JR calls both HHH and HBK to the ring to end their feud after the Hell in a Cell match the previous night. when they look like they’re about to shake hands, Eric comes out and says he has new info about the #1 contender. Cue Kane’s fire and brimstone as he makes his way to the ring as well. He boots HBK, looks at HHH and everyone expects HHH to come to HBK’s aid. Nope, he lets Kane kick the crap out of HBK, and eventually Pillman’s HBK’s neck. HBK is “bleeding internally” and is stretchered out. Later HHH comes into Eric�s office wanting to know what happened. “Kane is Eric’s response. Uncle Eric says that in order to get a title shot, HHH has to beat someone who is undefeated so far. Eugene.

FUCK YOU TODD GRISHAM talks to Matt Kennedy Gould, also known as Joe Schmo is some cross promotion with the second Joe Schmo. How nice.

The diva search will search for divas in LA, NC and Chicago. They’ll narrow it down to ten and then we’ll b tortured for three months straight with that crap.

Lita is in the bathroom and will be taking a pregnancy test. Later she tell Stacy and the 4 million people watching RAW and asks Stacy to keep the secret cause Matt Hardy and Kane, I mean Matt Hardy doesn’t know.

Matt Fact: Matt and Lita are not morning people.

Highlight Reel: Special Guest Eugene
Eugene comes down with regal, Jericho asks his favorite Jericho moment. It was when Jericho pissed in Regal’s tea. Eugene says he did the same thing last week. Jericho says despite that HHH is his favorite wrestler, HHH doesn’t like him. Cue HHH and Evolution with gifts for Eugene and a sense of danger for the crowd. HHH says he’s Eugene’s friend and takes a photo with him. He says Jericho is a liar and he’ll deal with the liars.

Current Vengeance card:
HHH vs. the World Champ

June 21st –

matches:
Trish d. (WOMAN)Victoria w/roll up and held ropes Victoria is later saved by a man in drag
Regal & Kane fight to a no-contest as Regal jumps Kane on the ramp but gets the “bloody hell” beaten out of him
Batista/Orton d. Jericho/Edge w/ Demon Bomb on Edge
Eugene & HHH go to a no contest after the match was re-started by Eric cause Eugene didn’t get hurt enough and interference by Evolution and Benoit.

Return of the Rock! He’s in his home, Miami and asks Eugene to come out. Cue Randy Orton. Eugene’s not here, cause HHH is picking him up in his limo. But Orton says he’s the new hot 3rd generation wrestling star after beating Rock and Sock at WMXX. Rock says his dad beat up Orton’s dad and his grand dad beat up Orton’s grand dad. Uncle Eric comes out and then kicks the Rock out. On his way out, the Rock tells Trish not to look at the peoples package, tells Tomko that he loves his show – Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, pulls Molly’s wig off, asks Rosey if he says anything besides “super size”, and runs the Coach off. randy wants him to shut up and get out of the building already. Rock says Randy’s gonna get hurt in 3, 2, 1 and SPEAR from Edge out of nowhere. Cause we were all looking at the Rock, not the ring.

Benoit tells Eric that is HHH wants a title shot, he can have it and to keep Eugene out of this. No dice and the match is on for the main event. Later Regal says that it’s unfair to have Eugene fight HHH tonight. Eric says Eugene’s an embarrassment to the family and needs to leave wrestling. regal says Eric is dirt, and Eric tells Regal that his first match is next against Kane. After Kane kills Regal, he asks if that was what Eric wanted. Eric said yes and after HHH kills Eugene, he’ll be #1 contender, but Kane gets a rematch net week on RAW against Benoit.

Chicago diva search wrap up.

Matt Hardy is congratulated by Stacy for being a dad. He says that he’ll propose to Lita tonight but Stacy shouldn’t tell, neither should the four million RAW viewers. I remembering calling Lita’s cell phone that instant and telling her to ruin the surprise. Later, I guess I got her machine before she got to the ring because Matt and Lita come to the ring and Matt proposes cause they’re gonna have a family. Lita nods yes, but Kane interrupts. Kane says he’s the dad, not Matt. Lita cries and Matt flips out. Even later still, Matt finds Lita backstage and she says she did Kane to keep him off Matt. Lita says the baby MIGHT be Matt’s. Ouch. Matt leaves.

Evolution, Eugene and Eric are in the locker room and HHH says he’s not gonna kill Eugene cause they are friends. Eugene leaves and everyone laughs. Uh oh…

June 28th –

matches:
Edge/Jericho d. Batista/(IC)Orton w/Spear then Lionsault on Batista
HHH d. Regal w/DQ when Regal used brass knuckles stolen from HHH
(TAG)La Resistance d. Sgt. Slaughter/Rhyno w/Au Revoir on Slaughter
(WORLD)Benoit d. Kane w/Crossface

HHH will face the winner of Kane/Benoit, but wants to talk about Eugene. He explains last week he was only trying to toughen hi up in their match and wouldn’t lie to him or hurt him like Benoit would. Eugene’s offered an honorary spot in Evolution, cue William Regal who says it’s a trap. HHH says Regal was hired to be Eugene’s friend and was only pretending. HHH says to choose Evolution or Regal. Cue Uncle Eric who says that if Regal and HHH have problems they can settle it in the ring with a SPECIAL referee, Eugene. Later Flair rightfully questions what the hell HHH is doing with Eugene. Trips says that once he has the title, Eugene is done. After the match, HHH pushes Regal into Eugene and Eugene goes tardy on Regal. Later HHH tells Eugene that Regal pushed him and Benoit hit him with the chair, but Evolution will protect him from here on out. Even later Flair comes out of Eric�s office and Coach is walking in. Coach says he’ll be happy to be interim GM next week, but Eric says he’s gotta keep it in the family. So next week, Eugene is GM for the day.

The diva search was in NYC

Lita is crying backstage on the hone with Matt’s voicemail. Stacy ponders what Lita will do, and Lita doesn’t even know who the dad is.

JR interviews Kane in the ring, he answers a few questions. He Pillman’d HBK because he was “robbed” at Badd Blood. He impregnated Lita because he never had a normal life, so he wanted a kid to “keep on truckin'” the in the ways of Kane Bearer. Of course I’m paraphrasing. JR reminds Kane that it could be Matt Hardy’s kid, and Kane goes to attack JR but Matt Hardy beats Kane to the punch and attacks him. Uncle Eric comes out with security and has Matt taken out of the building. to make it up to Kane, Eric says that the only way Benoit can win is by submission.

After the main event Lita comes out to prevent Kane from killing Benoit (couldn’t she just sleep with him again?), and pretends like she’s on his side, when she turns, Lita gets in a low blow and goes to hit him with the title. Kane gets pissed brings Lita up to chokeslam her, but puts her down cause she’s, you know, “expecting”. He yells at her, then Benoit hits him with the title to end the show.

Orton and Flair aren�t happy with their stations in life. Orton’s got Jericho tonight and Edge Sunday and Flair is “a 16 time World Champion, and I�m out there playing Ring Around The Rosie.� They get to Eugene’s inflatable bouncy bounce (office) and Eugene says that HHH said he would protect him. He reminds him of when Kane hurt him, and since HHH can’t wrestle Kane tonight, Batista can. He asks if Orton remembers when La Resistance beat Rhyno/Venis, Orton flips out and says it just happened, well Eugene is gonna book a tag match at Vengeance with a tag team that can beat La Resistance, Ric Flair and ….. EUGENE. Later HHH is out saying Benoit’s title reign is a miracle. Yeah, for us the fans. Edge interrupts him says that he wants Trips to give Orton a message, that one by one, Evolution is going down cause someone needs to take a stand. Helmsley says that Foley, Austin, the Rock, HBK and Benoit have all said that before, what makes Edge different? They fight, Evolution comes out and Edge runs. Even later Trips is jumping with Eugene and they have a deal. He leaves to inform flair that not only has he been jumping for 20 minutes, but it’s gonna be Eugene, Flair and HHH vs. Benoit/Edge tonight. Flair isn’t happy because he wanted their tag match on Sunday cancelled.

Later Uncle Eric says Eugene is cut out for the wrestling business after all an that tonight, it’s Eugene vs. Benoit for the title. After the match, Benoit ad Eugene get a beating from Eugene.

FUCK YOU TODD GRISHAM interviews Flair who says that he wishes Eugene the best of luck. Flair says he hates encountering freaks, and cue the Hurricane with a whoosh. Hurricane wants an autograph, but that’s not gonna happen. Flair says since Gregory Helms has been in the wrestling business, he’s become a joke. Hurricane says his book was good, but not as good as Rock, Hogan or even Chyna’s book. Nor was it #1 like Foley’s book. Hurricane gets punched for that one.

We’re introduced to the Diva Search girls all night

Highlight Reel:
Jericho says that since they have no privacy anyway, Kane and Lita might as well settle this in front of all the Jericoholics. Lita says Kane won’t touch he because of the baby and it must be Matt’s cause he’s more of a man than Kane will ever be. Kane flips out and tries to destroy Jericho’s set.

Evolution does like him and they’re not his friends, he was never in Evolution (duh, he was an honorary member). Eric come out to say that his sister called to say that Eugene is not wrestling anymore. This brings Regal out and he hates HHH. Eric says HHH’s reward will be a 60 minutes Iron Man Match on RAW next week.

Highlight Reel:
Jericho has the divas from the diva search on. Looking for an immunity envelope they eventually tear Eric’s office up. Later the divas are in bikinis. PK’s pick from the beginning was Carmella. My pick from the beginning was death.

After the Hurricane match, Trish confronts Stacy (who was at ringside) and hits her with the cast, Tomko goes for a powerslam, but a Superhero Rosey makes the save! New costume.

Lita finds Matt backstage (shouldn’t they get there together?) and says she’s having the baby with or without him.

HHH was Regal’s student in WCW 11 years ago and they were a tag team and they acknowledge that and regal goes on to cut a great promo on HHH that I can’t do justice to, but I’ll say that the phrase “violent venom” was used and that’s cool in my book.

Cue Orton who brings his title down, HHH wants Orton to hand it over, instead HHH gets a huge loogey and then a title to the face. Later, Eric makes HHH vs. Orton for the title at Unforgiven
