RAW GOES LIVE

A FULL MOON IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY THE HOWL OF A COYOTE AS ALL 4 FACES OF THE MEMBERS OF ANARCHY, INC. APPEAR NEXT TO A DEVILISH LOOKING PUMPKIN. A DEEP, SCRATCHY MONSTER LIKE VOICE SAYS "HAPPY HALLOWEEN".

"ACROSS THE NATION" THEN HITS AND RAW's MONTAGE VIDEO FOLLOWS BEFORE FIREWORKS BANG THROUGH THE GOLDEN DOME WHICH IS LADEN WITH EXCITED TWF FANS EVERYWHERE.

Jim Ross: "We follow DoomsDay with a Halloween edition of TWF RAW and these fans in Monaco are pumped up King and why not? We have a spectacular show tonight"!

"VIVA LA RAZA" HITS AND LOS GUERRERO's COME OUT TO A GREAT POP.

Jerry Lawler: "We have several big tag team matches planned and we will also decide who gets the deadman for the World title at Deadly Games"!

J.R.: "Deadly Games is our next big pay-per-view event and it will feature the traditional four on four elimination matches and who knows, maybe these two will be on one of those teams King"!

THE HARVARD FIGHT SONG PLAYS AND CHRISTOPHER NOWINSKI COMES OUT WITH THE GENIUS.

Lawler: "Eddie Guerrero may not be the King of Cable but he and Chavo are havin' fun tonight"!

J.R.: "Eddie Guerrero and John Cena put on a show at DoomsDay but Latino Heat came up a little short"!

GOLD PYRO POPS OFF AROUND THE SET AS 24 KARAT GOLD PRODUCTIONS APPEARS ON THE TWF TRON AND JACKIE GAYDA LEADS GOLDUST TO THE RING, PUFFING A CIGAR.

Lawler: "Look at this... gold in the Golden Dome! (laughs) But on a more serious note... look at Jackie! Now who would come up short with her"?

J.R.: "Okay King, it may be Halloween but I think you'd get tricked long before you got a treat... at least from Ms. Gayda".

Lawler: "I like this team of Nowinski and Goldust. But does that mean there's not gonna be an Extra Credit tonight"?

J.R.: "I'm 'fraid not King but this should be an interesting tag match as Los Guerrero's look to get back on track against the bizarre combination of Nowinski and Goldust".

Lawler: "Is the Genius eyeballing Jackie? He is smart"!

Goldust and Christopher Nowinski w/ Jackie Gayda & The Genius vs. Los Guerrero's

Nowinski and Chavo started things off and Chavo got him in a front face lock when he lunged at his legs. After 2 stiff knees to the head, Chavo pulled him out and whipped him to the ropes, catching him with a backbody drop. Chavo then tagged in Eddie and held Nowinski down so his uncle could hit the flying helo. But after slapping his chest and screaming into the crowd, Eddie walked into the waiting hands of Goldust who dropped him throat first over the top rope. Nowinski then hit a stumbling Eddie with a clothesline and tagged in Goldust. Goldust came in and mounted Guerrero and then unzipped his attire, forcing Guerrero to put his hands on his bare chest. But this got Eddie all fired up and he pushed Goldust off before drilling him with consecutive right hands and an eye gouge. Eddie then tagged in Chavo who came in and tried to deliver a suplex but he couldn't get Goldust's 6'6", 280 pound frame up. Goldust then clobbered him with an uppercut before whipping him to the ropes and catching him with his butt bump. Goldust then tagged in Nowinski and this is where they really started to work as a unit, a unit that included Jackie and The Genius. Referee Jim Korderas was constantly distracted by one of the managers as Nowinski and Goldust double teamed Chavo after Nowinski knocked Eddie to the floor with a right hand. After a double suplex into a gutbuster, Nowinski covered Chavo but could only get a 2 count. Nowinski made an immediate exchange to Goldust who straddled Chavo on the turnbuckle for the Shattered Dreams but Eddie came in and dropkicked Goldust in the back. Nowinski came in and ran at Eddie but Eddie sidestepped him and threw him out of the ring. Eddie then hit a brainbuster like suplex on Goldust that was very impressive but Nowinski tripped him up and pulled him to the floor. Goldust followed and picked Eddie up, holding his arms back as Jackie slapped him 3 times, once with a backhand. But as this was going on, Chavo had climbed the turnbuckle and launched himself off with a cross body block that took out all 3 men and Jackie Gayda! Korderas began to excercise his 10 count. Just as he got to 9, The Genius had finally helped Nowinski up and he rolled him into the ring.

Lawler: "See.... that's what brains get ya"!

J.R.: "No! Referee Jim Korderas said he didn't make it in time! This is a double count out"!

Lawler: "What"?!

AS NOWINSKI AND THE GENIUS ARGUED WITH KORDERAS, LOS GUERRERO's GOT BACK IN THE RING AND DROPKICKED THEM BOTH OVER THE TOP ROPE. EDDIE THEN TURNED TO CHAVO IN BEWILDERMENT AS "VIVA LA RAZA" HIT.

J.R.: "Well the referee has ruled this a double count out but the Guerrero's have gotten the last laugh"!

Lawler: "I think Eddie wants an explanation from his nephew for jumping on him".

BACKSTAGE.....

JONATHAN COACHMAN IS WITH ANIMAL.

Jonathan Coachman: "Animal, I know times are tough for you in both your personal and professional life with the loss of your long time partner Hawk so my question is.... where do you go from here"?

Animal: "Well Coach, you're right, it has been tough. But I got......

JUST THEN, ROB STORM COMES OVER.

Rob Storm: "You got what? A washed up career? Has been for a middle name? Come on Animal.... tell me, I'm beggin' ya".

Voice: "He's got me".

STORM TURNS AND LOOKS UP TO SEE JOHN HEIDENREICH STANDING BEFORE HIM.

John Heidenreich: "I'll see you in the ring".

Storm: "You just wait, (starts to back up and point) I got somethin' for your big ass".

HELMSLEY's OFFICE....

SHELTON BENJAMIN IS STANDING IN TRIPLE H's OFFICE.

Triple H: "Listen Sheldon.....

Shelton Benjamin: "Shelton".

Triple H: "Whatever. I know you're pissed about what happened to High Octane at DoomsDay but....

Benjamin: "You're dman right I'm pissed. Those Basham's, that wasn't cool man. In fact, I think it was pretty cowardly".

TRIPLE H STANDS UP, PUSHING HIS CHAIR BACK.

Triple H: "You think it's what?

HELMSLEY GETS IN HIS FACE.

Nah wait.... I got a better idea. (he points to the door) Get the hell out of my office".

Benjamin: "Any time man, any time".

BENJAMIN WALKS OUT THE DOOR.

Triple H: (to himself) "Oh yeah.... your time will be tonight".

COMMERCIAL BREAK......

A COMMERCIAL FOR SMACKDOWN 5 FOR PS2 IS SHOWN..... NOW IN THE TWF!

RETURN FROM BREAK.... BACKSTAGE....

AS SOON AS RAW RETURNS, CAMERAS ARE IN THE BACKSTAGE AREA AND STEPHANIE McMAHON IS WITH COACH.

Coachman: "We're back on RAW and Stephanie, can I ask what is so urgent"?

Stephanie McMahon: "Oh ya sure can Coach. Because ya know, Triple H is not the only one who can make matches, after all, I am the owner of RAW and if he didn't have a clause in his contract saying I can't fire him, I already would have. But what he did to High Octane at DoomsDay was wrong so tonight, I've made a DoomsDay return match, High Octane versus Spawn"!

STEPHANIE WALKS AWAY.

Coach: "J.R., King, back to you guys".

BACK AT RINGSIDE, THE CANADIAN NATIONAL ANTHEM IS PLAYING AND ROB STORM IS IN THE RING, WAVING THE CANADIAN FLAG AS A NEW THEME SONG HITS, THAT OF JOHN HEIDENREICH.

Lawler: "We're gonna have a DoomsDay return match tonight"?

J.R.: "We sure are King and right now, we're gonna see this pompous Canadian rookie face the giant like former NFL star John Heidenreich! It was Heidenreich who filled in at DoomsDay in that eight man tag and we have learned that he has been in Chicago for the last eight weeks privately training with the Road Warriors".

Lawler: "He's big, he's ugly and he's ready J.R., I don't like Storm's chances"!

J.R.: "Oh look out! My God"!

BEFORE HEIDENREICH COULD GET INTO THE RING, STORM BLASTED HIM WITH A STEEL CHAIR THAT KNOCKED HIM TO ONE KNEE AND THEN KNOCKED HIM OVER WITH A SECOND. AFTER BERATING THE BIG MAN, STORM GAVE HIM ONE MORE SHOT TO THE HEAD AS HE TRIED TO GET UP FOR GOOD MEASURE. STORM THEN WALKED UP THE RAMP AND THE CAMERA GOT ON HIM AS HE SAID "HE DIDN'T SEE ME IN THE RING DID HE"?! AS THE FANS LOUDLY BOOED.

Lawler: "He laid Heidenreich out J.R. and he's right, he didn'tg see him in the ring"!

J.R.: "That was a disgusting act by Rob Storm as Heidenreich just stood up for his mentor Animal! But as you said King, he's big and he's ugly but what happens when he's furious"?!

THE SHOT CUTS TO A NICE RESTAURANT WHERE VAL VENIS IS SITTING DOWN TO A CANDLELIGHT DINNER ACROSS FROM ALEXIS LAREE WHO LOOKS LESS THAN PLEASED.

Val Venis: "So, now that I know where you came from and what your measurements are, how bout after dinner we go to a nice hotel and we can make our own home movie called "Alexis is more than a luxury vehicle".

Alexis Laree: "Uh, let's just finish eating and get outta here".

Venis: (rubs his hands together) "That's what I like to hear".

BACK TO LIVE ACTION IN MONACO, CAMERAS CATCH AN ASSAULT IN PROGRESS AS SHELTON BENJAMIN IS ABSOLUTELY MANHANDLED BY THE BASHAM's AFTER VICTORIA REPORTEDLY TRICKED HIM INTO THE PARKING LOT.

BACK AT RINGSIDE, "THUGANOMICS" HITS AND JOHN CENA COMES OUT WITH A-TRAIN. HE IS WEARING A DENVER NUGGETS CARMELO ANTHONY JERSEY AND HAS THE KING OF CABLE TITLE AROUND HIS WAIST.

J.R.: "Triple H has used those damn Basham's to do his dirty work again"!

Lawler: "And did they ever put a hurtin' on him"!

J.R.: "The Basham's are acting as pawns for the game and speaking of doing someone's dirty work, how much longer is the A-Train gonna associate himself with John Cena"?

CHUCK PALUMBO AND SHAWN STASIAK's MUSIC HITS AND THEY COME OUT TO A GOOD CHEER.

Lawler: "Why shouldn't he? Cena is the King of Cable and on a heck of a roll! A-Train is in a great spot"!

J.R.: "Well they're gonna have to work as one tonight to defeat a very sound team of Palumbo and Stasiak".

John Cena and A-Train vs. Chuck Palumbo and Shawn Stasiak

This was a classic tag team match in which the former RAW tag team champs Palumbo and Stasiak did their best to not allow the huge A-Train into the match, working together against Cena. After catching Cena with a double arm overhead belly to belly suplex, Palumbo locked in a reverse armbar that kept Cena grounded. Cena finally got up and tried to elbow his way out but Palumbo tagged in Stasiak who came off the top rope with a double axe handle right on the elbow joint. He then rang Cena's arm back but caught a forearm to the mouth followed by a northern lights suplex. Cena popped up and whipped Stasiak to the ropes where Palumbo slapped his back, tagging himself in and catching Cena with 2 of his textbook right hands followed by a discus punch. Palumbo then went and hit A-Train with the same right hand and A-Train tried to come in but referee Jack Doan did his best to hold him off. But in the ring, both Palumbo and Stasiak were wearing out Cena until Stasiak charged and was backdropped out of the ring to the floor. Palumbo came over but Cena ducked the Jungle kick and pushed him right into the scissor kick of A-Train who had come into the ring. Doan forced A-Train back to his corner but Cena had Palumbo pinned and Doan turned around to make it official.

Match Time: 7:28

"THUGANOMICS" HIT AND A-TRAIN GRABBED THE KING OF CABLE BELT AND GAVE IT TO CENA.

Lawler: "A-Train didn't even get into that match legally and they still won"!

J.R.: "Not legally but he sure as hell made his presence known and this is what I mean King, he does all the work and let's Cena take all the glory"!

Lawler: "Well it looks like A-Train's about to get his own glory"!

AS THE RING BELL FURIOUSLY SOUNDED OFF, A-TRAIN PICKED PALUMBO UP FOR THE "TRAIN WRECK" BUT BEFORE HE COULD DELIVER IT, STASIAK CAME IN AND TOOK HIM OUT WITH A CHAIR SHOT TO THE BACK. CENA WENT TO HIT STASIAK WITH HIS BELT BUT STASIAK TURNED AND SWUNG THE CHAIR. ALL HE CAUGHT WAS AIR BUT IT WAS ENOUGH TO FORCE CENA OUT OF THE RING.

J.R.: "Yeah, now look at the King of Cable with his big bodygaurd on his back"!

Lawler: "Stasiak's gonna pay for that J.R.! Cena ain't gonna forget this"!

STASIAK HELPED PALUMBO UP THE RAMP AS CENA AND A-TRAIN LOOKED ON IN ANGER FROM INSIDE THE RING.

BACKSTAGE.... TRIPLE H's OFFICE....

TRIPLE H IS IN HIS OFFICE AT HIS DESK WHEN SHAWN MICHAELS COMES IN. TRIPLE H GETS UP.

Shawn Michaels: "No, no, no Hunter, I don't play like you do, I'm not here for a surprise attack. What I am here to do is to tell you how big a mistake you're making by doing the things your doing as enforcer of RAW. It's gonna catch up to you.... old buddy, old pal".

Triple H: (getting in his face) "Shawn, just like in the past, it's obvious you're jealous that I am doing something you did and doing it better. I know you're bitter that you're not the enforcer of RAW anymore and frankly, I don't give a damn. But I also know how you operate Shawn and I'm not fallin' for it. So from this RAW enforcer to the Heartbreak Kid..... get the hell out of my office"!

MICHAELS PUTS HIS HANDS UP AND GIVES HIM A LOOK LIKE "OKAY" BEFORE WALKING AWAY AS THE SHOT FADES OUT.

COMMERCIAL BREAK......

A COMMERCIAL FOR WENDY's FAST FOOD RESTAURANT's IS SHOWN.

A MAN IS SHOWN SITTING IN A RECLINER, READING A NEWSPAPER. HE HAS HIS THUMB PARTIALLY OVER A FRONT PAGE ARTICLE THAT SAYS "10 YEARS FOR ARMED ROBBER". A VOICE WITH AN OBVIOUS AUSTRALIAN ACCENT BEGINS TO SPEAK.

Voice: "They didn't know then and they still don't know now...... what drives me"!

A SHOT OF A SADISTIC LOOKING NATHAN JONES IS SHOWN.

NATHAN JONES......

RETURNS TO RAW NEXT WEEK!!!

AS RAW RETURNS, SCOTT STEINER AND BILLY GUNN ARE IN THE RING; STEINER's MUSIC PLAYING.

LA RESISTANCE's MUSIC HITS AND THEY COME OUT TO THE MOST HEAT OF THE NIGHT WITH WILLIAM REGAL. BENEATH THEIR CAPES, THEY HAVE ON THEIR NEWLY WON RAW TAG TEAM TITLES.

J.R.: "Tag team titles are on the line as we return to RAW and this match was supposedly signed out of fairness by Triple H, giving Steiner and Gunn their rematch".

Lawler: "See J.R., Triple H knows what he's doing! HBK doesn't know what he's talking about"!

J.R.: "Well I'd never put Triple H and fair in the same sentence".

THE 3 MEN STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RAMP.

William Regal: "At DoomsDay, you two toerags took it upon yourselves to interrupt the beautiful French national anthem. Well, according to RAW enforcer Triple H, if you do it tonight, you lose your title match".

J.R.: "Oh for cryin' out...., we gotta listen to this"?!

Regal: "Rene, Sylvan, commence".

J.R.: "Get your earplugs"!

DUPREE AND GRENIER SING THE FRENCH NATIONAL ANTHEM, A RENDITION THAT GOES ON FOR AT LEAST A FULL MINUTE AND A HALF AND WHEN THEY'RE DONE, STEINER GRABS A MIKE.

Scott Steiner: "Cut the crap and get in here so we can get our titles back"!

J.R.: "Let's do it.... get in there"!

LA RESISTANCE STARTS TO SLOWLY REMOVE THEIR CAPES AND THEN THEIR BERETS BUT GUNN AND STEINER HAD SEEN ENOUGH AND GO AT THEM, STARTING THE MATCH ON THE FLOOR.

RAW Tag Team Title Match

Challengers.... Scott Steiner and Billy Gunn vs. La Resistance w/ William Regal

Outside the ring, Steiner rammed Dupree into the steel post and Gunn whipped Grenier into the ring steps before referee Charles Robinson came out, forcing them to bring it into the ring. Steiner rolled Dupree in after yelling at Robinson and got in himself sounding the bell to make the match official. Steiner kept the pressure on the young Dupree, putting the boots to him and softening up his lower back. After a bodyslam, Steiner tagged in Gunn who wore Dupree down with his stiff jabs and then a hip toss into a neckbreaker. But when Gunn pulled him up, Dupree poked him in the eye and hit a nice DDT before tagging in Grenier. Grenier went to work on the historically problematic right shoulder of Gunn, stretching and pulling it in several different directions. After a big elbow drop, he made a pin attempt but Steiner came in to break it up. Grenier tagged out and Dupree kept Gunn down before turning and spitting on Steiner. Steiner tried to get in but Robinson stopped him. However, as this went on, Dupree kicked Gunn in the groin and made the cover but Steiner came in and pulled him off. Grenier came in as Robinson walked Big Poppa Pump back to his corner and he and Dupree hit their double flapjack. It was all over but again, Steiner came in to break it up, drawing a stern warning from Robinson. Regal got on the apron and started yelling at Steiner but he pulled Regal in and nailed him with a Steiner Line. Dupree and Grenier put Steiner down with a double backbody drop before again putting a weakening Gunn down with the double flapjack. Grenier topped him and Robinson made the count 1.......2......, but Steiner stomped on his head, stopping the count. But this time, Robinson called for the bell, disqualifying the challengers!

Match Time: 8:33

J.R.: "What the hell is that"?!

Lawler: "He got disqualified! The referee warned him J.R."!

STEINER WAS IN ROBINSON's FACE YELLING BUT ROBINSON WAS YELLING BACK UNTIL STEINER DROPPED HIM WITH A RIGHT HAND. GUNN RUSHED OVER AND SPUN STEINER AROUND BEFORE SAYING "WHAT THE HELL YA DOIN'", ONLY TO BE DRILLED WITH A RIGHT HAND BY STEINER ALSO! STEINER THEN PUT HIS OWN PARTNER DOWN WITH A DEATHDROP DDT BEFORE HIS MUSIC HIT AND THE CROWD BOOED HIM AS HE WALKED UP THE RAMP.

J.R.: "Steiner's gonna pay for knocking the ref down but what the hell is his problem?! Billy Gunn's his damn partner"!

Lawler: "Maybe he's sick of the partner thing because I don't think they are anymore"!

BACK AT THE RESTAURANT, VAL VENIS AND ALEXIS LAREE ARE SHOWN STILL AT THEIR TABLE DRINKING WINE. THE CAMERA ZOOMS OUT OF THE ROOM TO THE ENTRANCE WHERE A SECURITY GUARD IS WITH JOE COREY.

Security Guard: "So tell me again, you're who"?

Joe Corey: "I'm The Show Joe Corey, I work for the TWF. C'mon man, I'm the one everyone pays to see".

Security Guard: "Well like I said, this is reservation only and you aren't on the list".

Corey: "Look, I'll give you my autograph, it's worth thousands, just let me in".

Security Guard: "I can't do.....

Corey: "Here".

COREY RIGHTS SOMETHING ON A PIECE OF PAPER PRESSED UP AGAINST THE GUARDS CHEST, PRESUMABLY HIS AUTOGRAPH AND THEN GOES IN.

BACK TO THE ARENA, ANARCHY, INC's THEME DONE BY MEGADEATH HITS AND JUSTIN SANE STEPS OUT WITH NAILS.

J.R.: "Joe Corey is in that restaurant King! That wasn't part of the deal"!

Lawler: "Well let's be honest J.R., deal or not, she shouldn't be there against her will. We'll have to call Val Kobe if he doesn't watch it"!

J.R.: "Kobe"?

Lawler: "Never mind".

J.R.: "Fresh off their victory at DoomsDay here are two members of Anarchy, Inc. and King, I see this group as a real detriment to RAW".

Lawler: "Well just wait because later tonight, Nemesis could become the number one contender to the World title"!

KURT ANGLE's MUSIC HITS AND PYRO POPS INTO THE AIR AS HE COMES OUT AND RAISES EACH INDEX FINGER INTO THE AIR.

J.R.: "Well I'm happy to say that I'm not the only one who sees these goons as a detriment! Angle and Pyromania asked for this match against any two of these jerks"!

Lawler: "Well look out, they're comin' to meet Angle"!

ANARCHY, INC. CAME OUT BUT BEFORE THEY COULD DO ANYTHING, "DON'T PLAY WITH FIRE" BY 2PAC HITS AND AUSTIN PYROMANIA COMES OUT TO ONE HECK OF A POP AND THE FIGHT IS ON.

Nails and Justin Sane vs. Kurt Angle and Austin Pyromania

This was a tough, physical contest that favored Nails and Sane and they pounded on both men outside the ring. Inside, Pyromania was beat from one side of the ring to the other by Nails. After a wicked stick piledriver, Nails went over to the turnpad and looked as through he stuck something inside it and then tagged in Sane who referee Earl Hebner had a tough time controlling. He used as many blatant chokes and eye gouges as he could and really slowed Pyromania down. After an irish whip, he scooped Pyromania up for a torcher rack drop but Pyromania slipped off and then caught him with a back heel kick before tagging in Angle. Sane had no answer for the Olympic champion until Angle went for a german suplex and was mule kicked. Sane then tagged in the demonic Nails who also choked Angle before pulling him up for a headbutt. After several shots to the kidneys, Nails whipped Angle to the corner and charged in but Angle got a foot up in his face. He tried to follow up with a clothesline but Nails ducked and caught him with a hard right hand. Hebner got in his face about a clenched fist but Nails wasn't phased as he went and drilled Pyromania with the same shot. Hebner was about to DQ him but Angle got up and hit a triple german suplex. He then tagged in Pyromania who went to the top rope but Sane came around and hit him in the shin with his bamboo stick! Pyromania grabbed his leg in pain but Angle took out Sane with a baseball slide. He turned around to see Nails coming at him but Angle picked him up and held him in position for Pyromania who came off the top rope with a shooting star press that took Nails out of Angle's arms and to the mat! Pyromania grabbed his leg but covered Nails for the 1.......2.......3.

Match Time: 7:17

J.R.: "Are you kidding me?! That was one of the most amazing moves I've ever seen"!

Lawler: "Nails just got pinned by Pyromania! I can't believe it"!

J.R.: "Angle and Pyromania are really starting to gel and who knows, maybe this will give Strife the momentum to knock Nemesis off his tracks"!

BUT JUST THEN, A MAN DRESSED UP IN A HALLOWEEN COSTUME CAME OUT OF THE CROWD AND HIT ANGLE IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH SOME KIND OF FOREIGN OBJECT. AS THE PERSON WALKED THROUGH THE CROWD, PYROMANIA TURNED TO SEE ANGLE LYING.

J.R.: "What the hell just happened? A fan just took out Angle"!

Lawler: "That's no fan J.R., look"!

OUT IN THE CROWD, THE SPOTLIGHT SHOWED TEDDY LONG STANDING NEXT TO THE PERSON IN COSTUME. HE REMOVED THE UGLY MASK AND IT WAS RON KILLINGS.

J.R.: "Oh no! It's those two"!

Lawler: "That's payback for him getting involved in their business at DoomsDay J.R.! How's that for a trick or treat"?!

J.R.: "This is turning into one hell of a Halloween! What else is gonna happen"?!

BACKSTAGE....

AS THE SHOT GOES TO THE BACKSTAGE AREA, TOMMY DREAMER IS STANDING WITH JONATHAN COACHMAN.

Coachman: "Well Tommy, you wanted this time. What do you wanna say"?

Tommy Dreamer: "Well Coach, I couldn't help but notice the promo for Nathan Jones and the fact that he'll be back next week. It says, they didn't know then or now what drives him. Well, all I know is he's a damn criminal who has no place in the TWF so next week on RAW Nathan, for your big comeback match, I want it to be against me, I got someone I'd like you to meet".

DREAMER RAISES UP HIS SIGNATURE SINGAPORE CANE AND GETS AN EVIL GRIN ON HIS FACE.

BACK AT THE RESTAURANT, VENIS AND LAREE ARE CONCLUDING THEIR "DATE".

Venis: "Shall we"?

VENIS GRABS ALEXIS' HAND, HELPING HER UP WHEN SHE MAKES CONTACT WITH JOE COREY WHO IS BEHIND VENIS HOLDING A BOTTLE OF WINE.

Venis: "What, what is it"?

Laree: "I didn't even notice that beautiful painting behind you".

VENIS TURNS AROUND AND COREY SMASHES THE BOTTLE OVER HIS HEAD, KNOCKING HIM ONTO THE TABLE AS SECURITY AND RESTAURANT EMPLOYEES RUSH IN.

Restaurant Manager: "You! You must leave now.... before I call the police"!

NOTHING CAN WIPE THE SMILE FROM COREY's FACE.

Corey: "Times up Val.... this date is over".

COMMERCIAL BREAK.....

A COMMERCIAL FOR TWIX IS SHOWN FOLLOWED BY A PROGRAMMING AD FOR JOE SCHMO... THE REALITY SERIES THAT's NOT REALLY A REALITY SERIES.

AS RAW RETURNS, A PROMO GRAPHIC WITH THE RAW LOGO IN THE BACKGROUND IS ON THE SCREEN. ON ONE SIDE IS NATHAN JONES AND ON THE OTHER IS TOMMY DREAMER, HOLDING A SINGAPORE CANE.

J.R.: "Well I can't believe I heard Tommy Dreamer right but he wants Nathan Jones in a match next week and he's got it"!

AN ENGINE REVS AND "DOWN WITH THE SICKNESS" HITS, LEADING HIGH OCTANE TO THE RING.

Lawler: "We haven't seen Nathan Jones in months J.R.! Imagine if he's even bigger"!

J.R.: "Well speaking of big, this man had his hands full in the Hell in the Cell at DoomsDay with Spawn but it didn't help that Triple H sicked the Basham's on him and tonight, he's ready for the rematch that Stephanie McMahon, our fair owner might I add, made"!

"THE GAME" BY MOTORHEAD HITS AND TRIPLE H COMES OUT IN A SUIT AND TIE TO A LOT OF HEAT.

Lawler: "Wait a minute... that's not Spawn".

J.R.: "You're damn right it's not. What is Triple H doin' now"?

Triple H: "Hey Damion, how ya doin' man? (Helmsley waves) Now, I know Steph gave you your big rematch tonight but there's one slight problem".

Lawler: "Here we go".

Triple H: "Ya see, after seeing how hard Spawn worked at DoomsDay, I figured he'd like to have the night off so I gave it to him. I hope it's not too big of a problem. Have a good night man".

TRIPLE H LAUGHS AND THEN WALKS THROUGH THE CURTAIN AND INTO THE BACK AS HIGH OCTANE KICKS THE TURNBUCKLE.

J.R.: "You have got to be kidding! The night off? Wait till Stephanie hears this one"!

Lawler: "Tough break Octane".

THE OUTSIDE OF THE GOLDEN DOME IS SHOWN WITH A TALL SIGN THAT IS LIT UP SAYING LIVE TONIGHT..... TWF RAW!!!!

J.R.: "Well folks we are preparing for our number one contenders match and King, The Undertaker is not here tonight and is gonna take it all in from his home in Houston but we have a live satellite feed being sent to us and we have The Undertaker right now. Taker, ya there"?

Undertaker: "I sure am J.R.".

J.R.: "Well we know you're at home resting after that brutal tag team elimination match at DoomsDay but we've got a big number one contender's match about to start".

"IN MY DARKEST HOUR" BY MEGEDEATH FILLS THE ARENA AS NEMESIS COMES OUT TO SOME SERIOUS HEAP.

Undertaker: "Yeah we do".

J.R.: "Well obviously, you've had plenty of battles with Strife but do you have a preference as far as a winner is concerned"?

Undertaker: "Come on J.R., you know I could care less, I'll fight anybody. But I will say this, Nemesis, if it's you..... you're gonna pay".

J.R.: "Okay Taker, we look forward to seeing you back here on RAW and defending that World title at Deadly Games".

Undertaker: "I look forward to it".

"GET OFF MY TRACKS" BY POD HITS AND STRIFE COMES OUT TO A HUGE CHEER.

Lawler: "Nemesis looks more focused than I've ever seen him J.R.! He may be the underdog here but Strife better be careful".

J.R.: "Strife knows what it takes to get to the top of the mountain but I gotta believe that tha deadman would rather face Nemesis after everything he did to him King".

Lawler: "Well we're gonna find out who it is soon here"!

#1 Contender for TWF World Title

Nemesis vs. Strife

The bell sounded and Strife was ready to lock up but each time, Nemesis pulled away. Finally, Nemesis asked for a test of strength and Strife went for it. But before they interlocked fingers, it was Strife who kicked him in the gut. Strife then pounded him with some hard right forearms and a headbutt before whipping him to the ropes. But Nemesis ducked a clothesline and bounced off the other side before nailing Strife with a flying lariat. That got Nemesis on a roll as he draped the Locomotive over the middle rope and then bounced off the far side, dropping a leg on the back of his head. Nemesis then pulled him up and backed him into the corner with a furious barrage of right hands and a kick to the gut. But when he tried to pull Strife out with an irish whip, Strife blocked it and whipped Nemesis into a fierce clothesline before a huge legdrop. He covered him but Nemesis rolled his shoulder out at 2. Moments later, Strife connected with his swinging chokeslam but when he went for the cover, he failed to hook a leg and Nemesis put it on the bottom rope to stop the count. Strife was very upset, thinking he had the 3 count but referee Mike Chioda explained that he didn't. Meanwhile, Nemesis was over messing with the turnpad and seemed to have grabbed something. Strife moved in on him, blasting him with more right hands but off an irish whip, he put his head down too early and Strife kicked him in the head. He then swung at him but Strife ducked and kicked him right in the face with a big boot. Nemesis rolled out of the ring and the cameras got a great shot of him loading his hand with what was definitely brass knucks. Nemesis got up onto the apron and Strife tried to bring him in with a suplex but Nemesis punched him in the ribs and then came in, dealing the knock out blow. Strife fell like a ton of bricks but Chioda just got down and made the 3 count.

Match Time: 10:39

J.R.: "Those were brass knucks damnit"!

Lawler: "Nemesis has become the number one contender on Halloween"!

J.R.: "Wait a minute, that's the turnbuckle pad that Nails was messing with earlier! I'll be damned, he hid those brass knucks inside there"!

AS "IN MY DARKEST HOUR" PLAYED, NEMESIS WALKED UP THE RAMP WITH A VERY EVIL SMILE ON HIS FACE.

Lawler: "There's always something to hide J.R."!

OFF AIR.....
