"ACROSS THE NATION" THEN PLAYED AND IT GOT THE CROWD FIRED UP AS THE PYRO SET OFF AND FIREWORKS LIT UP THE RAWHIDE ARENA AS THE NEARLY 10,000 FANS WENT WILD. Jim Ross: "We are just days removed from the first ever RAW exclusive pay-per-view and King, I think we showed all our fans why RAW is the number one wrestling program there is"! Jerry Lawler: "My gosh J.R., we saw it all! The Undertaker is the Ruler of RAW but even more surprising to me is that fact that Strife is still the World's champion"! "HELL's GAURDIAN" BY SLIPKNOT HITS, LEADING ANARCHY, INC. OUT AND THEY ARE LOUDLY BOOED. J.R.: "We have an equally huge night tonight on RAW from Scottsdale including a couple rematches from Anarchy Rulz but speaking of Anarchy, these guys here destroyed the Road Warriors at the pay-per-view King, putting the name of Anarchy into the event in their words"! Lawler: "They took those two out for a second time J.R. and consequently, they're not here tonight"! Nails: "Road Warriors..... we tried to warn you two not to come back! But you didn't wanna listen and now, you're out anyway! Anarchy Rulz will be forever remembered as the night true Anarchy was born in the TWF! And tonight, Zero and I plan to celebrate by winning the tag team titles! So Gunn, Steiner, we're ready right now! Bring those titles down to the ring and put them on..... "ALL GROWN UP" HITS AND STEPHANIE McMAHON COMES OUT TO A WARM RESPONSE. Lawler: "Here comes the boss"! J.R.: "Hopefully she puts an end to this nonsense! These guys don't deserve a title match"! Stephanie McMahon: "For your information Nails, true anarchy will not exist here on RAW as long as I'm in charge. THE FANS CHEER. And on RAW, you have to earn things like a tag team title match. So tonight, I'm gonna put Billy Gunn against the guy who likes to help you with all your dirty work.... Psymin"! J.R.: "Oh my, that's huge"! Stephanie: "If Psymin can beat Gunn, you two will get a tag team title shot! SHE TURNS TO LEAVE. Oh but there's one other thing. You two.... are barred from ringside"! "ALL GROWN UP" PLAYS AGAIN AND STEPH LEAVES TO A BIG POP. Lawler: "She can't do that"! J.R.: "She just did King! It's gonna be Psymin versus Billy Gunn, one on one"! Lawler: "That's not right"! A PROMO GRAPHIC POPS UP WITH THE RAW LOGO ON IT. ON ONE SIDE IS D'LO BROWN AND TEDDY LONG AND ON THE OTHER IS SHELTON BENJAMIN AND HULK HOGAN.

Lawler: "Don't forget about Brother Long being out there"! BACKSTAGE.... DRESSING ROOM....

Sam Wilde: "Jackie, it is only that way if you believe that way. In order to present yourself as a true follower of the lord's message, you must know how to respectfully present yourself". SHE LOOKS OVER AT TAYLOR. Matt Taylor: "What girl? He's right. The lord won't take us seriously unless we look decent and professional". AT THAT MOMENT, JACKIE PULLS OFF HER SHIRT, REVEALING A VIBRANT ORANGE BRA. Jackie: "Well ya know what, you guys can look professional and go search for the lord's message without me. I wanna express myself without all these limitations". JACKIE DROPS THE SHIRT ON THE FLOOR AND WALKS OUT THE DRESSING ROOM DOOR. WILDE LOOKS AT TAYLOR WITH A VERY PUZZLED GAZE ON HIS FACE. COMMERCIAL BREAK..... A PREVIEW FOR THE MOVIE FREDDY VS. JASON.... STARTING AUGUST 15th IS SHOWN. RETURN FROM BREAK.... AS RAW RETURNS, RIC FLAIR AND RANDY ORTON COME UPON JOHN CENA. Ric Flair: "Hey Cena". John Cena: "I don't got time for you fools, what"? Flair: "Listen man, I think you and Randy should put your differences behind you and go out there against Palumbo and Stasiak and show these people, show everyone watching what you guys can do. Show everyone watching that you two are the future of this business". Cena: "Alright, I'll do my thing and you do yours but after that, we go our seperate ways, ya heard"? CENA WALKS AWAY BUT FLAIR AND ORTON SEEM CONTENT. THE BASHAM BROTHER's COME OUT TO THEIR MUSIC WITH VICTORIA AT THEIR SIDE. J.R.: "Orton and Cena will team together later tonight but we've got more tag team action on it's way and here come the Basham's King". Lawler: "And that means Victoria, wow she looks good"! AN ORGAN SOUNDS AND SAM WILDE's MUSIC, SUNG BY THE PHILADELPHIA BOYS CHOIR IS HEARD AS HE AND MATT TAYLOR HEAD DOWN THE RAMP TO A DECENT CHEER. J.R.: "Well these two guys are normally joined by Jackie Gayda but she stormed off earlier tonight". Lawler: "Well look at these two J.R., it looks like Sunday school! I don't blame Jackie"! J.R.: "No matter the look King, these two work well together and the Basham's better be wary of that"! The Basham Brothers w/ Victoria vs. Sam Wilde and Matt Taylor As the bell sounded, Danny Basham stood across from Taylor and they locked up. After a struggle for positioning, Danny backed him to the corner and took a swing but Taylor ducked and caught him with a right hand. He then shot him to the corner and when he bounced out, launched him into the air with a backdrop. Taylor then made the tag to Wilde who came in and kicked Danny in the gut as Taylor held his arm to expose it. Wilde then went to a dragon arm whip but missed with an elbow drop. Danny then caught him with a clothesline and tagged in Doug who unloaded on Wilde with some hard right hands. After a float over suplex, Wilde kicked out at 2 but even that took something out of him. The Basham's showed great continuity and made frequent tags to wear down Wilde who was in a tough predicament. After a cheap shot by Danny brought Taylor into the ring, referee Mike Sparks got in his way and forced him to the corner. But The Basham's hit a beautiful double team. After a clothesline by Danny, Doug russian leg sweeped him at the same time for a devastating effect. But somehow, Wilde kicked out at 2 1/2. Doug then whipped him to the corner and charged in but Wilde got a boot up in his face and then took him out with a running foreamr before falling to the mat. Both men reached for their corners but were far from them. Moments later, simultaneous tags were made but Taylor was ready, catching Danny with a great dropkick. He then whipped him in and hit a tilt-a-whirl slam. Taylor hooked the leg but got off when Doug came in with a leg drop that struck his own partner. Wilde and Taylor then combined to clothesline Doug out of the ring. Matt then bounced off the ropes but Victoria tripped him up. Wilde came over and exchanged words with Victoria but Danny came from behind with a knee to the back that knocked him through the ropes to the floor. After a hard ddt by Doug, the Basham's picked Taylor up and Danny set him up for a catapult as Doug went to the middle turnbuckle. As Danny took him over, Doug came off with a bulldog and immediately hooked Taylor's leg for the 3 count. Match Time: 7:45 J.R.: "Oh what a move! What a move that was and after a staggering loss to the Road Warriors, the Basham's have rebounded with a nice victory here King"! VICTORIA GETS INTO THE RING AND RAISES THE ARMS OF DOUG AND DANNY. Lawler: "They're coming around J.R. and with Victoria guiding them, I think they could go far"! BACKSTAGE.... CHRISTOPHER NOWINSKI IS SHOWN READING A MAGAZINE WITH A PURTURBED LOOK ON HIS FACE. The Genius: "Chris it's okay, you will overcome this". Christopher Nowinski: "Of course I will overcome it, I'm a Harvard grad. But what I will not tolerate.... JUST THEN, A CREW MEMBER WALKS UP. Crew Member: "You'll get over it Chris, you're not the first guy who's ever lost to a girl". NOWINSKI STANDS UP. Nowinski: "Is that right"? JUST THEN, NOWINSKI REACHES BACK AND NAILS THE GUY WITH A RIGHT HAND BEFORE THROWING HIM HEAD FIRST INTO THE WALL. THE GENIUS THEN PULLS HIM OFF. Genius: "That's enough Chris, that's enough".

WITH THE SHOT BACK AT RINGSIDE, "THE GAME" BY MOTORHEAD HITS AND TRIPLE H COMES OUT TO A MIXED REACTION. Lawler: "It's time to play the game J.R."! J.R.: "Triple H looks a little naked without that tag team title over his shoulder and the menacing Malice at his side who was injured in that tag team title match at Anarchy Rulz". Lawler: "Well Triple H lost the titles and his partner J.R. but he's coming out here with a purpose"! Triple H: "After Anarchy Rulz, I was a little down about losing the titles, I'll admit it. But then it hit me. Maybe it's a good thing we lost them. Because now I get to go back to doing what I do best... kicking ass and taking names here on RAW! Ya see, time and time again, I have proven to all you pieces of crap that I am the game and I am that damn good! That is exactly why I am naming myself the number one contender for the TWF title so Strife, shine that puppy up because I'm coming to kick your ass and take it from ya"! "DEADMAN WALKIN'" LEADS INTO "YOU'RE GONNA PAY" AND THE UNDERTAKER COMES OUT TO A HUGE POP WEARING HIS RED DEVIL SHIRT AND BLACK SHADES. J.R.: "Well it's not Strife but it is the Ruler of RAW"! Lawler: "Triple H didn't ask for him! What's he doing"?! UNDERTAKER STEPS INTO THE RING AND ASKS FOR A MIC. The Undertaker: "So Triple H, you're the number one contender huh? That's kinda funny because the last time I checked, you haven't proven a damn thing to me". WITH THAT COMMENT, THE UNDERTAKER GETS NOSE TO NOSE WITH HHH. J.R.: "Whoa"! Triple H: "Back up there deadman. That's great, very courageous of you to come out here. But let me put it to you this way. I am the best damn wrestler this industry has ever seen and I have beaten them all! So you have two choices. Either leave now and swallow your pride or put your hands up and get ready to take the worst beating of your career"! THE UNDERTAKER BACKS UP WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE. The Undertaker: "Hold up there big guy. Now listen, there's nothing I'd like to do more than to whip your ass tonight right here, right now. But let's put your money where your mouth is. Let's have a match tonight, you and me, to decide who is the number one contender". THE CROWD CHEERS IN APPROVAL. J.R.: "I'm all for that"! Triple H: "You want a match, you got one! But not tonight. THE CHEERS TURN TO BOOS IN A HURRY. I'm not prepared tonight and I sure as hell ain't gonna wrestle you in this nine hundred dollar shirt! Now I know you don't mind messin' up that trash you where, but save it for next week and next week, I'll take you up on this challenge and beat you within an inch of your damn life! Until then, stay out of my way"! "THE GAME" PLAYS AGAIN AS TRIPLE H DROPS DOWN AND SLIDES OUT OF THE RING. THE UNDERTAKER LOOKS AT HIM WITH A CONFIDENT GRIN. Lawler: "Oh that's gonna be good! I can't wait for that one J.R."! J.R.: "Undertaker vs. The game for the number one contendership! It's on for next week"! BACKSTAGE...

High Octane: "It's getting better, I think I can get back in there next week". Michaels: "Listen Damion, I didn't keep you out of that match because of anything other than concern for one of RAW's top superstars. If I threw off your momentum and you blame me for your loss to Spawn, I can take it". High Octane: "Not at all man, in fact I.... JUST THEN THE DOOR SLAMS AND EDDIE GUERRERO IS STANDING THERE WITH A BEET RED FACE. Eddie Guerrero: "Odule homes. So let me get this correct. You're sitting out on the sidelines again tonight"?

TWF RE-WIND SHOWS NATHAN JONES DEFEATING RON KILLINGS AT ANARCHY RULZ. NATHAN JONES' MUSIC HITS AND HE COMES OUT TO A MIXED RESPONSE. J.R.: "This man came within an eyelash of becoming the first ever Ruler of RAW and King, that was just the start of a trail of destruction for this beast King". Lawler: "This guy is a downright menace J.R. I can't believe Killings wants another peace of him"! TEDDY LONG's VOICE SAYING "LEMME HOLLA AT YA PLAYA" LEADS INTO CIVIL RIGHTS' NEW THEME AND HE LEADS RON KILLINGS OUT TO A LOT OF HEAT. J.R.: "Ron Killings called that loss a fluke and he demanded this match with Jones". Lawler: "I just hope he knows what he's getting into". Nathan Jones vs. Ron "The Truth" Killings w/ Brother Long As Killings got into the ring, Jones wasted no time, hitting him with some open handed slaps that sounded the bell. But after a distraction from Long, Killings used a low blow and then took a chair from his mentor, bashing Jones over the head as referee Chad Patton called for the bell. But the assault continued as D'Lo Brown came out with a pair of handcuffs and locked Jones to the ring ropes allowing Killings to hit him repeatedly with the chair. Blood streamed from Jones' face as several officials stormed out to stop the assault. J.R.: "This is ridiculous, get them out of here"! Lawler: "Oh man, Jones is hurt bad J.R., he's not moving".

Shawn Stasiak and Chuck Palumbo vs. John Cena and Randy Orton w/ Ric Flair Stasiak and Palumbo took advantage of all the miscommunication between Orton and Cena and they isolated Orton in the ring. After a heavy dose of Palumbo's right hands, Stasiak came in and kept the pressure on. But after blocking a reverse ddt by holding onto the top rope, Orton went over and tagged in Cena who dropped Stasiak with a backdrop suplex followed by a big elbow drop. He then picked up Stasiak and dropped him with a powerbomb but Orton tagged himself in from behind and knocked Palumbo to the floor with a dropkick. But when he turned around, Stasiak drilled him with a clothesline before whipping him in and catching him with a powerslam.

They then whipped him in and elevated him with a double back body drop. As referee Mike Chioda led Chavo back to his corner, Dupree came from behind with a forearm to Eddie's back followed by a belly to back suplex. Dupree then made the tag and whipped Guerrero in, putting him down with a drop toe hold as Grenier came bouncing off the ropes with a legdrop to the back of the head. Grenier then went to a side headlock and had Eddie grounded. But the crowd began to get behind him and Eddie got up and delivered an angling back suplex. He then rolled to his corner and tagged in Chavo who nailed Grenier with some stiff right hands before whipping him to the ropes and hitting a cross body block which netted him a 2 count. After a nice vertical suplx, he bounced off the ropes but Regal grabbed his foot. Grenier then came from behind with a chop block and made the tag back to Dupree as Eddie Guerrero went over and got into it with Regal. In the ring, Grenier hit a shin breaker on Chavo as Dupree bounced off the ropes and exploded through him with a clothesline. After blocking a right hand, Eddie knocked Regal to the floor with one of his own. As Dupree set Chavo up for a suplex, Chavo turned it into a small package for the 1........2......, but Dupree just escaped. Chavo then ducked a clothesline and hit a flying forearm before tagging in Eddie who came in with a flying helo on Dupree. He then turned around and drilled Grenier with a right hand before holding Dupree up as Chavo went to the top rope. He came off with a missile dropkick but Dupree had the presence of mind to move and Chavo nailed Eddie! Dupree then launched Chavo outside where Regal stood and Grenier came in the ring. As Eddie got to his feet, they put him down with their double flapjack and Dupree hooked the leg for the win. Match Time: 8:48 Lawler: "Yes! They did it J.R., I told you they would"!

J.R.: "Earlier tonight on RAW, we saw Anarchy, Inc. make a challenge to the new tag team champions Scott Steiner and Billy Gunn but Stephanie told them if they want a match they've gotta earn it"! Lawler: "They have earned it J.R.! They single handedly took the Raod Warriors down and out twice now"! J.R.: "Well Steph deemed it appropriate that Psymin, who is like a henchmen to Anarchy, Inc., be the man that tries to earn that shot and we don't have to worry about Nails or ZeroEx interfering, they're barred from ringside"! Lawler: "But so is Steiner J.R. and Billy Gunn better not take Psymin lightly, he's tough". Psymin vs. Billy Gunn As the bell sounded, the 2 locked up and Psymin slipped out of the collar and elbow tie and got in a high kneelift. He then sent Gunn to the ropes but Billy came off with a forearm before laying into him with some stiff jabs. Billy then locked him in for a suplex but Psymin blocked it and countered with one of his own. After a scoop slam, Psymin used a hard backbreaker and then sent Gunn for the ride, catching him with a big powerslam. He hooked the leg but Billy kicked out at 2. Psymin then whipped him in again but dropped his head too soon and Billy came back with a swinging neckbreaker. He then came off and hit the "Fame-Asser" out of nowhere and covered him but the mistake of not hooking the leg allowed Psymin to put his foot on the rope to stop the count just in time. Billy thought he had won it but referee Jack Doan informed him that it was not over when Psymin rolled him up from behind and grabbed a handful of tights to get the 1.....2.....3. Match Time: 4:45 J.R.: "Ah, now wait just a dman minute"! Lawler: "Wait for what J.R.? This is over"! J.R.: "He had the damn tights"! Lawler: "Oh Nails and ZeroEx have gotta be rejoicing backstage"! IN THE RING, GUNN WAS EXPLAINING TO DOAN THAT PSYMIN HAD THE TIGHTS BUT TO NO AVAIL. J.R.: "Well that was a blown call! Psymin got out of here with a bargain basement win and now, Anarchy, Inc. gets a tag team title shot". BACKSTAGE....

Lawler: "Much like Eddie Guerrero, these guys are not playing around and if they're gonna do that to Nathan Jones, imagine what Shelton Benjamin is in store for"! "IT's ALL ABOUT THE BENJAMIN's" IS HEARD AND LEADS INTO SHELTON BENJAMIN's MUSIC AND HE COEMS OUT TO A HUGE POP, LARGELY BECAUSE OF THE PRESENCE OF HULK HOGAN.

J.R.: "Just a reminder folks that next week right here on RAW, Triple H meets the founder of Deadman, Inc. for the number one contendership and that's gonna be huge! But right now, we've got D'Lo and Shelton and if Teddy Long tries anything, Hulk Hogan is right there"! D'Lo Brown w/ Brother Long vs. Shelton Benjamin w/ Hulk Hogan D'Lo trued to come from behind as Benjamin got some last minute instructions from Hogan but Hogan told him to turn around and Benajamin met him with 3 right hands before whipping him to the ropes and hitting a spinwheel kick. Benjamin was all over D'Lo from that point on and the first few minutes of the match looked like an exhibition. But after a thumb to the eyes, D'Lo got back into it and reversed position, sending Benjamin to the corner and hammering him with some hard rights. He then whipped him to the corner and caught him with a hip toss slam as he came out. D'Lo was in command and he picked Shelton up for his swinging sideslam but Benjamin's foot hit referee Earl Hebner hard in the side of the head. As he went down, D'Lo completed the move and Teddy Long went and grabbed a steel chair. But Hogan came over and took it from him when Ron Killings came out. He laid into Hogan with some serious right hands before taking the chair and getting into the ring. But Hogan came back and got in, taking the chair from Killings. He swung for Killings' head but nailed Benjamin just as he was getting up when Killings ducked. D'Lo and Killings then dropped Hogan with a double spinebuster and D'Lo then covered Benjamin as Long got Hebner up to make the 3 count. Match Time: 7:22 J.R.: "Oh for crying out loud! This is a damn travesty folks! Civil Rights has done it again"! Lawler: "Even with Hogan out here, they still found a way to win"! J.R.: "Yeah, a cheap, bend the rules way to win! What a bunch of upstanding citizens these guys are"! AS THE ENTIRE CROWD LOUDLY BOOED, TEDDY LONG RAISED THE ARMS OF D'LO AND KILLINGS AS THEIR MUSIC PLAYED. OFF AIR.....
