Jericho got Hurricane in the Walls of Jericho but was broken up by Christian. Christian went to hit the Unprettier on Jericho but ate a big boot from Kane. Both Hurricane and Kane went and hit a chokeslam on Christian and Jericho for a double pin but only got a two count. Kane took control of the match and threw Christian into Jericho when both went over the top rope to the outside. Hurricane got Kane down and went for a Shining Wizard but Kane ducked and hit a huge chokeslam to Hurricane for the pin and to become the WWE Intercontinental Champion.  Kane becomes the WWE Intercontinental Champion just days before his battle against World Heavyweight Champion Triple H |

KANE TAKES OFF HIS MASK FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER
After failing to win the World Heavyweight Championship last night, the Big Red Machine Kane was off the rails. He chokeslammed Christopher Nowinski and took out D-Lo Brown and Test. Rob Van Dam attempted to calm Kane down and remind Kane that tonight in the main event of RAW it was going to be Kane and Rob Van Dam taking on Ric Flair and Triple H. During the main event, Kane and Rob Van Dam attempted to get their revenge on Flair and Triple H but Triple H ended up using a sledgehammer on RVD to pin him for the win. Kane became irate and started attacking Rob Van Dam, security came down to the ring to stop Kane but they too got chokeslammed and attacked. Kane was standing in the middle of the ring motionless with Rob Van Dam looking in confusion. Kane slowly turned away from Van Dam and when he turned back around, KANE WAS UNMASKED!! The hideous face of Kane was finally revealed. He proceeded to attack Rob Van Dam and hit his signature pose to let the ring on fire.
 Kane is unmasked and unhinged. What does this mean for the WWE Intercontinental Championship? |

KANE IS STRIPPED OF WWE INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP; NEW CHAMPION CROWNED IN MAIN EVENT
Ever since Kane took off his mask he has been in hiding and nobody in the WWE has seen him. Kane was the WWE Intercontinental Champion and RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff gave the Big Red Machine until the start of RAW to show up or else he will be stripped of the championship. Kane was no where to be found so the General Manager brought out Booker T, Chris Jericho, Rob Van Dam and Scott Steiner, the four participants in the Elimination Chamber (besides the champion Shawn Michaels and former champion Triple H). Bischoff told the four men that in the main event of RAW they will wrestle and the winner will be the new WWE Intercontinental Champion. The match begins and the four men battle all over the arena, a bunch of near falls and broken up pins before Scott Steiner went for the Steiner Recliner on Jericho, before Jericho can tap out Batista runs down to the ring and takes out Scott Steiner with a huge spinebuster, Chris Jericho goes for the pin on Steiner but Rob Van Dam hits the Five Star Frog Splash to break up the pin, Booker T hits the Scissor Kick on RVD for the 1..2..3 and Booker T is the new WWE Intercontinental Champion.
Booker T wins the vacant WWE Intercontinental Championship |

KURT ANGLE APPRECIATION NIGHT RUINED BY THE RAPID WOLVERINE
SmackDown General Manager Paul Heyman is in the ring which is decorated in celebration of Kurt Angle's win at Armageddon. Heyman brings out Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin to celebrate along with the new WWE Champion, Kurt Angle. Angle comes out with fireworks and red white and blue confetti falling from the ceiling. Angle thanks Benjamin and Haas and calls them the Worlds Greatest Tag Team, Angle then thanks Heyman for being the greatest General Manager. Angle says in the past they didnt see eye to eye but they agreed on one thing and that was Brock Lesnar shoudnt be WWE Champion. Angle says that hes going to be WWE Champion for a very long time. Suddenly Chris Benoit's music hits and out comes the No. 1 contender. Benoit calls Angle a coward for not winning the WWE Championship by himself and needing help. Benoit tells Angle that at the Royal Rumble he's going to take the WWE Championship and he's going to take out anybody who gets in his way. Angle says that he's beaten Benoit before and he can do it again and that Angle is te greatest WWE Champion of all time. Benoit says why wait for the Royal Rumble, lets do it right here right now. Angle says thats not going to happen and Benjamin and Haas attempt to attack Benoit, but Benoit took out both Benjamin and Haas with german suplexes while Angle and Heyman run up the ramp. Benoit puts Haas in the crossface while Angle is watching angerly.
 In what was supposed to be a celebration for Kurt Angle slowly became a nightmare when Chris Benoit made it known that he was next to face Angle for the WWE Championship. |
