SUPERSTAR MAKES A DOMINATE DEBUT
In a year full of debuts and returns, SmackDown! has added another superstar to the blue brand with the addition of 4x All American Bobby Lashley. Lashley, a former National Champion answered the challenge of the newly looked Sylvain (formerly Sylvain Grenier). Sylvan got on the microphone and told the Texas crowd that every single one of them needs a makeover and nobody is as good looking as Sylvain. Sylvain kept talking on the microphone before being interrupted by Bobby Lashley. Lashley got in the ring and went face to face with Sylvain. Sylvain asked Bobby Lashley if he thinks he's good looking and Bobby hit him with a hard clotheline before the referee rang the bell. Sylvain attempted to get on offensive but Bobby stopped that quick and hit his finishing move named the Dominator for the 1-2-3 in his WWE debut.

SOMEBODY GETS FIRED BY MCMAHON
RAW starts with Vince McMahon powerwalking down to the ring. Last week, McMahon and all his family members were stunned by Stone Cold Steve Austin and McMahon is looking for some answers. McMahon brings RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff to the ring first and tells Bischoff that Bischoff will NOT be fired tonight and will keep his job as General Manager. McMahon says he could fire Stone Cold Steve Austin but he wants to make Austin's life a living hell and firing him would let him off easy. McMahon then points out to the crowd and the fans and says he wishes he could fire the whole audience but since they are in Texas nobody here is worth working for McMahon. McMahon then looks to the announce crew of Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler and Johnathan Coachman. McMahon tells all three to get in the ring and berates them for not doing anything while the McMahon's were getting stunned by Austin. McMahon tells them to apologize right now or else they will be fired. Not surprising to anybody Coachman apologizes like a coward and sucks up to McMahon, McMahon accepts his apology and Coachman's job is safe. Jerry Lawler then apologizes to McMahon and McMahon also accepts the King's apology. Jim Ross then gets his chance and says he's sorry that Linda McMahon got stunned but when McMahon asks Ross about Shane and Stephanie being stunned, Ross says that they both deserved it. All of a sudden Stephanie McMahon comes down and slaps Jim Ross in the face. Linda McMahon comes down and tells Vince that Jim Ross has helped grow the WWE to what it is now and he doesnt deserve to be slapped in the face. Linda then looks JR in the eye and says that he doesnt deserve to be slapped in the face but he deserves what's coming to him next and shockingly Linda McMahon kicks Jim Ross in the crotch. Linda then tells Jim Ross while standing over his limp body that "YOU'RE FIRED!!" while the evil McMahon laugh and mock Jim Ross.  After being stunned by Stone Cold Steve Austin, the McMahon family were looking to get revenge on anybody they could. |

EVOLUTION IS NO MORE.
RAW starts off with the former World Heavyweight Champion Triple H coming down to the ring. Triple H gets on the microphone and talks about his recent slump he's been having recently. Triple H says he might be the Game but sometimes the Game can be tough. Triple H says alot of people have been having problems with him but he doesnt give a damn with people think.

Triple H says they worshipped the ground he walked on and Triple H gave them everything. Triple H calls the WWE Intercontinental Champion Ric Flair to the ring and talks about how Flair is the only person he could trust. Triple H then says that Flair is now a shell of a himself and he's focused on himself than on Evolution. Triple H says that Flair has spit on the legacy of everything that they built and its time to take the horse out behind the barn and pull the trigger. Flair grabs the microphone and tells Triple H that Flair has been by his side since day one, when Triple H was doing everything to control this company Flair was standing side by side with him. Flair said he's saved Triple H's ass on hundreds of occasions and if it wasnt for Flair Triple H wouldnt have been World Heavyweight Champion for as long as he was. Flair says that Triple H has always wanted to be the man but like Flair's been saying for over 20 years, if you want to be the man, you got to beat the man. Flair challenges Triple H to a match at Taboo Tuesday. Triple H gets in Flair's face and accepts the challenge before low blowing Flair and hitting him over the head with the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Triple H continues his assault before the referees pull back Triple H and bring him to the back.  Triple H officially ends Evolution by attacking his mentor Ric Flair.

SLITHER DEBUTS AND RAW VS SMACKDOWN AT SURVIVOR SERIES
For weeks and weeks there have been a vignette showing the debut of this mysterious character called "Slither". On the episode of SmackDown! Nunzio was talking to his partner Vito about the debuting Slither and said that if Slither is "Coming to get him" than he will "get him" in the middle of the ring. Nunzio heads down to the ring and challenges the new member of SmackDown! to a match. All of a sudden the lights go out and the arena is filled by smoke and red lights when all of a sudden Slither comes down to the ring with a giant boomstick and a clock that he proceeds to hit over his head. Slither slides into the ring and is shown to have worms in his mouth. The referee rings the bell and Slither wastes no time in defeating Nunzio with his finisher. Slither then takes the worms that he had in his mouth and spits them in Nunzio's mouth and the Light Heavyweight then scurries out of the ring before Slither celebrates doing a weird dance.
 Slither making his WWE debut and showing why the SmackDown roster that he is "Coming To Get Them!" Later in the night SmackDown! is interrupted by RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff who gets on the microphone and calls out SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long. Long comes out and confronts Bischoff, Bischoff says this "RAW vs SmackDown!" thing needs to end and enough is enough. Bischoff told Long he should thank him for allowing SmackDown! superstars on RAW's Taboo Tuesday. Long says he should thank him for SmackDown! for bringing in the ratings and making Taboo Tuesday one of the most interactive events of all time. Bischoff says SmackDown! will always be a "B" show to RAW and suggests that they do a 5-on-5 Elimination match at Survivor Series. Long accepted the challenge and said just like the Monday Night Wars, Bischoff will lose. Long then called for security and removed Bischoff from the building.
RAW vs SmackDown at Survivor Series. Team Bischoff vs Team Long. |
