Welcome back. Heat begins this week with...........................................

Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch vs Val Venis & Viscera (Non-Title match)
As the champs enter we see footage from just over three weeks ago on Raw when Team V (Val & Viscera) gained a DQ victory over the champs. Val starts things off with Cade as Grisham reminds us the champs are yet to be pinned. Lockup, Val backs Cade to the ropes. They break, Cade taunts Val then ducks his head outside and the referee separates. Val gets the crowd going then advances into a Cade boot to the gut. Cade clubs Val down then delivers stomps. Cade drives Val's head into the corner then piefaces and talks trash. Val with a punch counter turns the tables on Cade and hits some chops but an Irish whip is reversed by Cade. Cade charges into an elbow and Val heads up top but Murdoch crotches him onto the ropes then shoves him to the mat and all this is behind the referee's back as he's dealing with Cade. Cade covers Val and the referee is tied up again this time trying to keep Viscera out. The referee turns back round and Cade gets a one count. Val rolls to the outside where Murdoch clubs and drives into the apron. Murdoch puts Val back in and Cade covers but Val puts his leg on the rope. Murdoch tags in and Val gets a double backbodydrop off the ropes. Murdoch with a nearfall twists Val round and elbows him down. Cade tags in and boots Val as Murdoch holds him prone. Cade sends Val off the ropes puts his head down, Val boots and both men are down. The count is laid on and both men tag out at a count of six. Viscera clotheslines Murdoch, backelbows Cade, slams Murdoch then Cade. Viscera Irish whips then backbodydrops Cade. Viscera sends Murdoch off the ropes into a backbodydrop. Viscera Irish whips Murdoch into Cade who's now in the corner and Viscera backs up ready to charge. Viscera plays to the crowd and charges but Murdoch ducks and Viscera charges into a Cade boot but recovers to hit a swinging side slam on a charging Murdoch. Val drops Cade down and crotches him on the ringpost then ascends to the top and hits Murdoch with the Money Shot. Viscera follows up with the VD (Viscera Drop splash) and he covers Murdoch for the 1-2-3 and surely Team V are now the No 1 Contenders. Here Are Your Winners: VAL VENIS & VISCERA. Post match Team V are ecstatic.

Still to come Greg "The Hammer" Valentine vs Rob Conway.

Snitsky vs Rosey
Coach tells us WrestleMania 22 tickets sold out in 2 minutes. Rosey comes out alone and Grisham and Coach recap what went down with the Superheroes on Raw last week during a commercial break when Hurricane attacked Rosey and took his mask off. We don't see any footage but are told it's on WWE.Com. Lockup, side headlock by Rosey, Snitsky sends off the ropes and a Rosey shoulder tackle doesn't budge Snitsky. Instead Snitsky roids up, boots Rosey and headbutts him. Rosey punches back, Snitsky reverses off the ropes and Rosey falls through them to the outside. Snitsky goes to jump off the apron with an axehandle but Rosey catches him with a punch to the gut. Rosey gets Snitsky up and punches but Snitsky reverses a whip to the ringpost and Rosey crashes to the floor. Snitsky stomps breaks up the referee's count then puts Rosey back inside where Snitsky clubs him down and drops two elbows. Snitsky gets a nearfall then traps Rosey in a cross armbar on the mat. Rosey gets up and punches his way free, Snitsky knees the gut and punches Rosey into the ropes. Snitsky sends Rosey off the ropes puts his head down, Rosey boots Snitsky then ducks a clothesline and punches away at Snitsky. Snitsky reverses Rosey off the ropes, Rosey takes him down with a shoulder tackle then a clothesline. Rosey with a samoan drop goes for a springboard moonsault from the second rope but misses. Snitsky gets up measures Rosey and hits him with a big boot for the 1-2-3. Here is Your Winner: SNITSKY.

Up next Stone Cold Steve Austin came to Raw last Monday.

SmackDown! UK Survivor Series Tour promo airs. WWE.Com for details.

Stone Cold campaigned for JR's Job on Raw. Stephanie McMahon makes Stone Cold vs Jonathan Coachman for Taboo Tuesday. If Austin wins JR returns, If Austin loses he's fired. There's surely a twist in this somewhere as everyone knows Austin would kick Coach's ass on any day of the week and twice on a Sunday.

WWE Slam of the Week: Raw two weeks ago. Rob Conway disposes of Doink and continues to beat on him until Eugene makes the save. Conway gives Eugene an Ego-Trip for his troubles.

Rob Conway vs Greg "The Hammer" Valentine
Conway is announced as the model of excellence by announcer Justin Roberts. Valentine has music and a titantron and looks even older and flabbier than he used to. Coach reminisces on how Valentine's feud with Tito Santana over the IC Title seemed just like yesterday. Lockup, Conway knees the gut and connects with punches to the head. Conway passes his shades to the referee and a Hammer chant starts. Valentine turns the tables and takes Conway to the corner and delivers a few slaps to the chest. Valentine with a hiptoss then throws Conway through the ropes to the outside. Conway back on the apron, Valentine delivers a clubbing blow to the throat to drop Conway to the floor again. Conway pulls Valentine out hits a knee and a punch then sends Valentine into the ringpost. Conway puts Valentine back in where he drops three elbows onto Valentine's back then delivers mounted mat punches. Conway plays to the crowd, Valentine gets up and fights back with a boot and two elbows to the head. Side headlock by Valentine, Conway sends off the ropes but Valentine hangs on telegraphing a dropkick attempt then drops two elbows. Valentine gives the sign and softens up Conway for the figure four by driving his head into Conway's nether region. Valentine goes to hook the figure four but Conway pushes Valentine into the corner/ringpost with his other foot and starts to pummel him with punches, boots and clubbing blows to the back. Conway slaps Valentine and sets up for the Ego Trip but Eugene runs in punches at Conway and sends him off the ropes but Conway ducks outside and backs up with a smile on his face as he knows Eugene has just handed him a victory. Valentine is pissed as he sees Conway get his arm raised on the entrance way and Eugene tries to make nice with Valentine by raising his arm but Valentine shoves him down, shrugs him off and leaves a shocked Eugene crying in the corner. Here is Your Winner via DQ: ROB CONWAY.

Up next 18 man Battle Royal from Raw.

Kurt Angle Raw promo airs.

Kerwin White & Nick Nemeth vs Shelton Benjamin & Matt Striker
Kerwin and Nemeth come out first and we see clips from last week where Striker came out to make the save for Shelton from a Kerwin golf club shot. Shelton and Striker come out together and Striker begins with Nemeth. After some hesitation Nemeth hits a boot and punch, Striker counters a whip attempt into an armdrag then hits an armdrag into an armbar as a Chavo chant starts. Nemeth gets up reverses the armbar, Striker using the ropes backflips and throws Nemeth down then hits a dropkick and another armdrag takedown. Striker tags out whips Nemeth off the ropes into a drop toehold and Shelton hits an elbow to the back. Shelton knocks down Nemeth until Nemeth goes to the eyes and tags in Kerwin who charges into an armdrag. Shelton attacks Kerwin, Kerwin reverses off the ropes and Nemeth cracks a knee across Shelton's back. Shelton turns to grab but Nemeth drops to the floor and Kerwin from behind attacks Shelton and throws him outside where Nemeth stomps. Striker checks on Shelton as the Chavo chant starts again and Kerwin responds by shouting Kerwin. Kerwin stomps on Shelton on the outside and then again back inside. Shelton tries to fight back but Kerwin drop toeholds him and pulls him to his corner where Nemeth gets some shots in. Kerwin then takes over again with a snapmare and an armbar/choke on the mat. Shelton punches free sends Kerwin off the ropes, Kerwin ducks Shelton then hits a tilt-a-whirl headscissors. Kerwin ushers Nemeth in and they go for a double suplex but Shelton lands on his feet and hits a double hangmans neckbreaker. Shelton goes for a tag but Striker drops off the apron smiles and slowly makes his way back up the entrance. Kerwin attacks Shelton from behind and delivers a DDT for a nearfall as even Kerwin looks perplexed at seeing Striker leave. Nemeth is ushered in again and he and Kerwin both put the boots to Shelton while Striker looks on laughing before going to the back. Shelton gets whipped to the corner. Nemeth goes to whip Kerwin into Shelton but Shelton ducks advances and clotheslines Nemeth before backbodydropping Kerwin. Shelton knocks down his foes a couple of times then elevates Kerwin with a flapjack off the ropes with some nice height shown by Kerwin. Shelton connects with a dragon whip on Nemeth sending him outside where he grabs a golf club. Shelton goes up top and hits a top rope clothesline on Kerwin. Shelton catches Nemeth on the apron and knocks him down sending the club into the ring which the referee goes to dispose of. Shelton lifts Kerwin for a back suplex but Kerwin rolls back and Nemeth quickly gets in and behind the referee's back Kerwin and Nemeth deliver a double team electric chair drop on Shelton and Kerwin covers for the 1-2-3 as Nemeth goes back outside. The burial of Shelton continues which is ludicrous. The man has bags of talent so push him. He's being wasted here. Here Are Your Winners: KERWIN WHITE & NICK NEMETH. I hope Shelton destroys Striker.

Grisham signs off and thanks us for watching to end the show. See you next week. Have a good one. Shaun.
