Opening Credits.
The show opens with GM Tiffany entering the ring with an announcement...........
she feels the Monday Night Raw Roster were embarrassed at Survivor Series and last week was no better, this week she wants the roster to take back control, get their pride back, so tonight Trish Stratus will lead the Women's Division back to the top, when she takes on Taeler Hendrix, also tonight Stone Cold Steve Austin will face the TNA Turncoat A J Styles....................tonight the WWE strikes back!!
Just then MVP comes out to address Tiffany however before he could utter a word, Sandow jumps him from behind...........beating him down, before acknowledging the WWE Universe to a huge ovation..........
Backstage: Renee Young has with her Kaval, she asks him about Survivor Series and what's in Kaval's future?
Kaval reminds everyone that he one pinfall away from becoming the WWE Champion at Survivor Series, which is why his only ambition is to become WWE Champion, and it doesn't matter if it's the reigning Champion Edge or TNA's chosen one Samoa Joe, he's putting himself forward as the next Contender............
Just as the interview is concluded though, Kavakl finds himself on the end of an attack from behind by Suicide, an attack that left Renee signalling for medical help.................
Out in the ring, Santino Marella is in the ring, he has decided to step up and represent Raw, and he decides to call out any member of the TNA Rostrer for a match.................what he got, was THE MONSTER.....................
Santino Marella v Abyss
.
Whether Santino will regret that decision will come down to whether or not he will even remember it, after the savage mauling he took..........
Backstage: Taeler Hendrix interrupts a discussion between Trish and Melina to insult Trish being called a leader.............she claims that once she beats Trish tonight, she will be on her way to the top of the LADDER, a clear reference to the match Angelina Love wants at TLC, Trish retaliates that tonight she'll show Taeler what WRESTLING is all about, while also claiming a Ladder match is simply a game of chance.............
Promo: Jack Swagger is in the ring, he heard A J's comments last week about him, and obviously disagrees, he is AJ's present and Future, so he can forget about any Title Matches................just then an old familiar sound bursts out around the arena..................."MISTER!!!!!!!!!"
and out struts Mr Kennedy straight to the ring where he confronts Swagger............he tells Swagger he can't hang with the best, which next week he will prove when they go one on one.................
Backstage: R-Truth has returned, and he has a message for Sting.............the man who prevented him taking part at Survivor Series, then betrayed the WWE, as a result he guarantees that Justice will be his.....................when and where is the question............
Coming up next, A J Styles takes on the resident Rattlesnake Stone Cold Steve Austin...............
A J Styles v "Stone Cold" Steve Austin
Mid Match: Stone Cold appears to have the match in control, A'J was in serious danger, but he wasn't going to suffer defeat by Pinfall or Submission, suddenly Sting leapt into the ring attacking Stone Cold causing the DQ, but that didn't matter, what mattered was sending a message, between the 2 of them they beat Stone Cold down and then celebrated over his body..............
Winner:Taeler Hendrix via Submission.
Clearly that match did not go as Trish had planned, but now she has to start thinking about her Title defence and whether or not to accept Angelina's proposition from last week.................
Promo: Kane makes his way to the ring and demands a microphone................last week he was not on Monday Night Raw, but saw the destruction that Abyss caused, and has heard the moniker he has "The Monster", however there is only room for one monster in this business, and "To be the Monster, you have to BEAT The Monster" putting people through tables is one thing, but Kane has been setting people alight long before Abyss came on the scene.......................
Just then Tiffany comes out, she acknowledges that she and Kane are not close, but likes the idea of Kane taking out Abyss, so she makes a match for TLC.............. a TABLES MATCH!!!!!!
Meanwhile Backstage Heyman and Abyss are watching on a monitor.............Heyman is very positive about the news, he knows Abyss will destroy Kane.............Abyss meanwhile is impatient, he informs Heyman that he has a message to give Kane, and he'll do it in the ring...................
Now coming up next The Miz is using his automatic rematch for the United States Title against Ryback, who after being ejected last week has no Nexus backup..............
(c) Ryback v The Miz
United States Title
Mid Match: A great match up was suddenly disrupted a nd ruined when Mr Kennedy leapt into the ring and assaulted both Superstars causing a No Contest Decision.
Backstage: Apparently making his way to his parked vehicle in the Parking Bay, Samoa Joe ambushed Drew McIntyre............was this retaliation for turning down Heyman's offer earlier..................
Jade & Velvet Sky w/ Taeler Hendrix v Lita & Natalya w/ Nikki Bella
This match was completely chaotic with all 4 competitors going for it, their pride was on the line, and with the 2 Women outside the ring as well causing distractions and fighting among each other, it was an amazing feat that the referee kept control. Although the referee did end up ejecting both Nikki & Taeler from ringside.
.
Winners: Jade & Velvet Sky via Pinfall by Jade on Natalya.
Commentary: Analysing the match that just happened, King suddenly noticed the ring filling with Smoke, and then Cole acknowledged thatr the atmosphere had got decidedly cold................
and then Abyss made his way to the ring...........it was time for him to send that message to Kane......................
Abyss claims that at TLC he will dismember, disembowel and disfigure Kane so badly before sending him back to Hell that the demons will quake in fear at the merest sight of him, he claims putting Kane through a Table will not be enough, he then claims that after TLC, Kane will not be resting in Peace in the slightest..................suddenly a hand busts through the ring behind Abyss, and up rises Kane's brother The Undertaker, completely oblivious to The Undertakers presence Abyss turns, before he can react The Undertaker grabs him by the throat and delivers a huge Chokeslam.................then kneeling on one knee, Undertaker summons another coffin from under the ring................but before any further action can happen, Sting rushes the ring, baseball bat in hand and cracks it over Undertaker, before delivering further blows with it...............in time Abyss climbs back to hius feet, then between them he and Sting roll Undertaker out of the ring, and then unbeleivably Abyss throws Undertaker into the coffin and slams the lid shut.......................before he and Sting celebrate over the coffin.......................
How will Kane react to this "Message"?
