WWE RAW Report (11/21/05) - Taped in Sheffield, England

Recap of Bisch asking who is going to step up two weeks ago. Edge was sent to Smackdown for a street fight. Batista was in the ring, Masters put the Masterlock on Teddy Long. Batista, which was attacked in the ring by Kane and Big Show, is Double Chokeslammed causing a back injury to Batista.

HBK, Kane, Big Show, Masters and Carlito come down to the ring together. Bischoff follows them out, walking with a purpose.
He announces team RAW for Survivor Series to prove RAW is the preeminent brand in sports entertainment. He says there are rumors that Smackdown doesn’t want to wait for SS and will be there tonight. Bisch says he has not seen one Smackdown superstar.
Grisham is in the parking lot watching, and he has not seen any of them.
Bisch says Edge came to him with a plan. The plan that decimated Batista. Smackdown will not show because of Bisch’s army, his soldiers, his strength.
Show takes the mis and says they are not Bisch’s anything. He and Kane went to Smackdown because they wanted to. Batista was the wrong guy, wrong place, wrong time.
Grisham cuts in saying Batista, Long, Rey Rey, Orty, and JBL (Lashley might have been there - I didn’t see him) are in the parking lot. Batista called out the RAW superstars.
HBK says team RAW is on the way. Bisch is screaming it is a set up and orders them all back in the ring. They all keep walking out. He has no control of ‘his’ team.

Outside the Smackdown stars are waiting. Lashley is there. HBK is leading the RAW team outside. Rey is still wearing an Eddie armband.
HBK stops them and says it’s a trap. Show says if Batista is still standing then he and Kane have work to do.
They meet and it is a free for all. Masterlock on Rey, Batista was Chokeslammed on the hood of a car (but it was not shown happening - only the after effects). Security breaks it up.
Teddy Long starts screaming for a doctor for Batista. “Somebody get a doctor out here!” Batista does not look bad off at all.
