The Game is dead. Long live Da Man.

Hello again everyone and WELcome to your RajahWWF RAW report. I am your host Jason (who you can reach on Yahoo Messenger at Jason_of_RajahWWF), let's begin...

The music plays, the pyro blazes and we are LIVE from the MCI Center in Washington D.C. as Lillian Garcia extends a special welcome to recuperating soldiers from Walter Reed Hospital who were injured fighting for freedom and our way of life in Iraq and Afghanistan. Lillian then introduces your NEW RAW announcers, Jonathan Coachman and Al Snow, who will have the call as the new World Heavyweight Champion makes his way to the ring.

Goldberg Interview
-The new champ comes out to a pretty large pop and hits the corners, clearly saying, "It's about time" at one point. Goldberg promised to show up in Washington as the new World Heavyweight Champion and he has done exactly that. Last night Triple H found out first hand that when it comes to Goldberg...believe the hype! CRRASHHH! Here comes RAW Co-General Manager Stone Cold Steve Austin. The Rattlesnake hits the corners and takes the stick to address Goldberg. There're only a few things in life that make Austin happy: beer, four-letter words, middle fingers and the U.S. Armed Forces. Austin is also very proud of Bill Goldberg for beating Triple H last night. He's got four words for Goldberg as champ..."I'll drink to that." Beers are thrown, toasts are made beers are drunk. AHM BACK...here comes Eric Bischoff as The Coach and Snow stand and applaud. Pardon Easy E's interruption, he just wanted to congratulate Goldberg and try to explain his mystery partner tag team booking from two weeks ago was just something to motivate Goldberg. Bischoff and Goldberg go back a long ways. It wasn't Vince McMahon that created Goldberg; it was Eric Bischoff that created Goldberg. That's why Bischoff is so proud that...SPEAR! Bischoff is laid out as Austin laughs it up. Austin heads up the ramp and Goldberg shakes hands with some of the ringside soldiers as we go to...

Rob Van Dam vs. Christian for the Intercontinental Championship
-This has nothing to do with the match, but Lillian Garcia looks extremely hot tonight. Referee Nick Patrick holds the belt aloft and we're off. RVD evades Christian in the corners and scores a cross body block off the second rope for a near fall. Van Dam scores another quick near fall and Christian slides out. Christian grabs the belt and starts to head for the ramp, but a senton over the top from Van Dam puts a stop to that. RVD scores a guillotine legdrop and then goes for the Five Star, but Christian dodges. Christian gains control with a back breaker for a near fall. Christian works an abdominal stretch and hammers away on Van Dam's ribs for good measure. RVD scores a roll-up off the whip and gets a near fall. Christian re-establishes with right hands, but Van Dam works a leg sweep and scores Rolling Thunder. 1-2-Christian gets the shoulder up. They fake each other out in the corner and Van Dam scores a split-legged moonsault. 1-2-Christian kicks out. Van Dam gets near falls with a pair of roll-ups and Christian bails to the outside. Referee Patrick tries to keep Van Dam from going out after Christian. In the meantime, Christian grabs his title belt and blasts RVD in the face with it in full view of the referee, who calls for the bell at 4:46.
-HERE is YOUR Winner as the result of a Disqualification: Rob Van Dam

Christian goes to smash Van Dam with the belt again, but the referee strips him of it. Christian goes under the ring instead and retrieves a ladder. Christian sets the ladder up in the ring and delivers a huge frog splash to the still prone RVD.

In the back, Eric Bischoff is treated by the trainer when Chris Jericho comes in declaring what happened to Bischoff earlier to be an outrage. Bischoff agrees and grants Y2J's request for a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship tonight on RAW.

Coachman and Snow say they will talk with Shane McMahon later tonight.

Garrison Cade and Mark Jindrak start to make their way to the ring for a tag team match when they are attacked and completely mugged on the ramp by the whole of Evolution. The RAW corps of referees rush the scene to restore order, but Triple H breaks away and stomps down to the ring.

Evolution Interview
-Ric Flair and Randy Orton join Hunter in the ring as The Game goads the crowd into chanting Goldberg's name. Triple H proclaims he is still the best professional wrestler in the world today despite what happened last night. Goldberg didn't beat Triple H last night; Hunter beat himself because he didn't believe the hype. Hunter believes it now though and he will have his rematch. Hunter will take back what's his when next he meets Goldberg.

Theodore Long w/Rodney Mack and Mark Henry Interview
-Let Teddy holler atcha, playuhs! As far as Teddy's concerned, Washington D.C. is just another place to keep the black man down. When Teddy looks at Capital Hill, all he sees are white men. Every president that's ever served the country has been white. What the country needs is Theodore R. Long as president. Meet Teddy's Secretary of State...Rodney Mack. Say hello to the Long administration's Secretary of Defense...The World's Strongest Man Mark Henry. Now let's bring on any white boy from the back with whatever he wants to bring so Mark Henry can do some thuggin' and buggin'. Buhleedat, playuh!

-Tommy attacks with the kendo stick before the bell, but Henry soon disarms him and breaks the stick over his knee. Tommy then tries it with a trash can, cleaning Mack off the apron in the process, but Henry catches Dreamer with his massive powerslam and referee Chad Patton tolls the 1-2-3 at :55.
-HERE is YOUR Winner: Mark Henry

In the back, Garrison Cade and Mark Jindrak burst into Evolution's locker room as referees and Maven struggle to keep them back. There's a lot of yelling and, before you know it, we have a Six Man Tag Team Match booked for later tonight. Hmmm, wasn't Maven nearby when Randy Orton confronted Shawn Michaels last week? Hmmm...

Elsewhere, Chris Jericho and Christian ogle Lita and Trish Stratus and backslap each other until Stone Cold Steve Austin arrives on the scene. Due to Jericho's actions last night at Unforgiven, Austin books Jonathan Coachman versus Jim Ross for control of the RAW announce desk for next week. Christian pipes up and The Rattlesnake books him to face Rob Van Dam again next week...in a ladder match. Austin stalks off as Jericho plans his next move.

Another message to home from a U.S. Serviceman.

Molly Holly & Gail Kim vs. Trish Stratus & Lita
-This is obviously a rematch from last night. Trish and Gail start with some basics on the mat. More basics leads to a Trish dropkick for two from referee Charles Robinson. Tag to Molly. Trish controls Molly with arm drags and works the Matrix Move to avoid a kick. Trish scores a near fall and scores some chops against the ropes. Thesz Press by Trish and here's a tag to Lita. Lita takes Molly over with a headscissors, but she catches a boot in the belly and Molly hammers away. Lita recovers and gets two after a nice roll-up. Kim drives the knee into Lita's back from the apron and Molly gets a near fall. Snapmare by Molly followed by a Hennig neck snap. 1-2-Lita kicks out. Tag to Kim. Gail hammers on Lita's neck and chokes her over the middle rope. Snapmare by Kim and she settles into a seated surfboard. Referee Robinson checks in but Lita won't quit. Lita fights up and drops Kim with a Russian leg sweep. Lita crawls toward her corner, but Kim cuts her off and tags Molly in. Molly uses her leg to choke Lita over the middle rope and then let's Gail take over as she distracts the referee. Lita manages to reverse a suplex and both women are down. Tag to Kim and she elbows Trish off the apron in a brilliant move. The heels go for the double-team, but Lita fires up and backdrops Kim. Lita takes Molly down and covers Gail. 1-2-Molly breaks it up. Trish charges into the ring and pulls Molly to the outside as Lita hits Gail with the Twist of Fate for the 1-2-3 at 7:02 to end a good match.
-HERE are YOUR Winners: Lita & Trish Stratus

In the back, Chris Jericho convinces Eric Bischoff to be the special outside referee for Y2J's title match with Goldberg.

A video package recaps the Test/Stacy/Steiner saga of the last few months.

Earlier tonight, Stacy Keibler apologized to Scott Steiner for costing him the match against Test last night at Unforgiven. Test arrives and orders Steiner to get his bags out of the car. Steiner resists, but Test reminds him of his contractual obligation. Test and Stacy leave and Steiner flings a bag out of the car in frustration.

Coachman and Snow intro still pictures and highlights from last night's Kane/Shane McMahon Last Man Standing Match. Shane joins the broadcast from "an undisclosed medical location" and says he's pretty banged up, but he's not done with Kane by a long shot. Kane suddenly bursts into Shane's hospital room and beats him down, pouring blood from Shane's I.V. all over McMahon in the process. Kane dumps Shane out of his bed and then decks security when they arrive. Kane beats on Shane a little more and then finally takes a walk, grinning all the way. I guess Shane's location was in fact disclosed somewhere along the line.

WWE Rewind: Last night at Unforgiven, The Dudley Boyz capture their seventeenth tag team title with a Table Match win over La Resistance and Rob Conway.

Rene Dupree & Rob Conway w/Sylvan Grenier vs. The Hurricane & Rosey
-The Frenchmen lord their flag over the wounded U.S. soldiers. Classy. Meanwhile, what did The Hurricane do to deserve the angle he's currently in? Jeez. Anyway, he and Conway start things off and it soon breaks down with Rosey in the ring. Referee Chad Patton ushers Rosey out as Hurricane dives off the top to the floor on Conway, but Grenier nails Hurricane with the flag. Hurricane is tossed back in and Dupree tags in. Dupree drops a double ax handle and gets a near fall. Tag to Conway, who gets a two count of his own. Conway works the seated surfboard, but The Hurricane won't give. Hurricane fights out and scores the Eye. Both men are down. Tags to Rosey and Dupree. Rosey with a backdrop and a slam before dropping the big leg on Conway. 1-2-broken up by Dupree (who was legal, as far as I know). Now Conway tags in and he's promptly double-teamed by the faces for the 1-2-3.
-HERE are YOUR Winners: The Hurricane & Rosey

The Dudleys music hits and the new tag champs hit the ring. They shake hands with Hurricane and Rosey and then go to ringside to greet the wounded troops.
