RAW opened up with a recap from two weeks ago when Eric Bischoff sent Edge to Smackdown to face Batista in a Street Fight, but it was all a trap as Kane and the Big Show ambushed Batista after Chris Masters locked Theodore Long in the Master Lock. The fireworks then went off in the arena as Joey Styles, Jerry Lawler and the Coach welcomed us to RAW from the United Kingdom!
In the arena:
Shawn Michaels, Kane, The Big Show, Carlito and Chris Masters made their way down the aisle as Team RAW for the Survivor Series, and then General Manager Eric Bischoff made his way down to the ring. Bischoff got on the mic and said assembled before you is Team RAW, the five RAW superstars who are going to Survivor Series to prove once again that RAW is the superior brand in all of sports entertainment. He said apparently Team Smackdown doesn t feel that way. He said there have been rumors on the Internet all week long that Teddy Long and Smackdown don t want to wait for Survivor Series, and they are going to be here on RAW tonight. He said don t believe everything you read on the Internet, and he hasn t seen one sign of Smackdown, and has Todd Grisham outside the arena on Smackdown watch. We went to Todd and he said there is no sign of Smackdown as of yet. Bischoff said they won t be here tonight because three weeks ago, Edge came to him with a plan and that led to the World Tag Team Champions going to Smackdown and decimating Batista, and that is cool. He said Smackdown won t be here because of his army, his soldiers&Big Show took the mic and said they are his nothing. He said himself and Kane went to Smackdown because they wanted to. They wanted to prove they were unstoppable and the best way to do that was to chokeslam Batista to hell, and if Batista got hurt somehow, it s too bad. He said Batista was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and if any of the Smackdown&Grisham then cuts him off on the screen and said JBL s limo is here as Batista, Teddy Long, Rey Mysterio, Lashley and Randy Orton emerged. Batista got on the mic and said if the RAW guys have the guts, they will bring their sorry asses to the parking lot. Michaels said to have to fear, Team RAW is on the way. Bischoff said no way as the superstars left the ring. Bischoff yelled that it was a set up as they left.
Back on RAW:
The Smackdown crew are shown in the parking lot awaiting the RAW superstars. Shawn Michaels and the RAW superstars were then shown walking down the hallway to the parking lot. Team Smackdown were shown again getting ready to fight as Team RAW stopped and Carlito asked if it was a trap. Michaels said he was counting on it, and Big Show said they still have work to do. Team RAW went out and they all squared up to each other before a brawl erupted. Batista sent Big Show through a car window and Kane was thrown over a car. Masters locked in the Master Lock on Mysterio as more glass was heard and then we then see Batista choke slammed onto a car by Kane and Show! Security then made their way out and Batista is hurt with Teddy Long screaming for EMT s. We go to commercial.
Outside the arena:
Todd Grisham said we just saw a melee and we then take a look at the car that Kane and Show choke slammed Batista onto. Bischoff then runs up and says you don t mess with RAW, and you never mess with Eric Bischoff.

He said this Sunday at Survivor Series, Last Man Standing. It won t be about winning or losing, it will be about surviving. He said he will show him that later tonight.

Bischoff then came out and said he thought they already took the garbage out. The fans chanted asshole at Bischoff and he asked JBL who the hell he thinks he is. Bischoff said you don t demand a match with one of his superstars unless you are the dumbest man on the earth, or the bravest, and he goes with the former. He said he will give JBL a match that will knock some sense into him, but it won t be against Masters. He said he will give JBL a match with the captain of Team RAW, the Heart Break Kid, Shawn Michaels! JBL smiled and left the ring through the crowd and said he will see Eric in the main event.

The Aftermath:
Angle got on the mic and said he hopes Cena is listening, and his announcement that is coming up will changed the face of Survivor Series.
Back on RAW:
Angle is still in the ring and says over the past couple of weeks, people have asked him why he associates himself with Daivari, but he and Daivari are a lot alike. They have both been abused by the people. Daivari is a proud American just like him, and he has been abused because he is Arab-American. He said the people will cheer a misogynist foul mouthed rap star like John Cena, but they will unjustly deny this man everything he stands for, and they will deny his right of expression as a proud American, which makes him sick. He said he is about to change that, and thanks to Eric Bischoff, you are looking at his full time referee for every one of his matches, including the match at Survivor Series for the WWE Championship against John Cena! He said you people will show them the respect they deserve when he walks out of Survivor Series as the new WWE Champion, it s true, it s damn true, because you are looking at a world wide hero, and John Cena is hothing! Daivari then spouted off in Arabic and then Cena appeared on the screen. He told Kurt to pipe down and we ve all heard it before. He said what he will do now is find out the real story, he will find out what the superstars think of him. He walks into the women s locker room and said he didn t see anything and asked Maria about Kurt Angle. She said he isn t Kurt Angle, he s John Cena! Candice said she knows Kurt Angle sucks, but do you think she does!? Cena then left and told Candice to call him. He said he s sure everyone is wondering if the Diva s suck, but this is about Kurt.
He then goes into the male locker room and Snitsky is rubbing down Tomko! They said they aren t doing anything, and Cena said what they do in their time is their business. Cena said he s moving away slow, and he loves the beard and isn t judging anything. Snitsky: It s not my fault! Cena continued on his way and goes through another door, and the friggin Boogeyman is in there and starts singing London bridge is falling down , and he s the Boogeyman and he s coming to get us! LOL Cena wondered what the hell that was, and opens the door again and he smashes the clock on his own head, and Cena shuts the door again. He said maybe the WWE Superstar thing was a bad idea, but there are 12,000 WWE fans out there who have a voice. Cena then came out into the crowd and asked people what they think of Kurt Angle and they all said he sucks. Angle yelled at Cena to shut up as Cena got them to chant you suck . Cena said we ve heard the testimonial from Angle, and we ve heard from the superstars and from the fans, and weighing everything into perspective, he has come to the conclusion that Angle still sucks! Cena then got into the ring and tackled Angle and hammered him with right hands and then a clothesline. Cena hit a flying shoulder and then went after Daivari. Cena backdropped Angle to the outside and this Sunday they will go one on one with the WWE Championship on the line at the Survivor Series!
