Lita comes down to the ring to join her husband for this match.
Snitsky runs out of the ring but goes to the opposite side of the chain. Kane goes to the other side of the ring and picks up the chain. Snitsky is able to sneak up on him and land a few blows where he is tossed back into the ring and Snitsky grabs the chain.
Snitsky is turning the tables and is actually taking it to Kane. He sends his head into the steel ringpost. Snitsky now gets the chain and takes it to Kane’s neck and now whips the chain into Kane’s back.
Snitsky is choking Kane with the chain. He is basically dominating the match.

Kane kicks out.
Snitsky gets the chain back and is just whipping Kane with it. Kane has red welts all over his back. Snistky is now choking Kane out with the chain.
Lita is yelling for Kane on the outside as Kane is trying to get back up to one knee and get some offense in.
Kane finally reverses with a right hand and gets some offense which causes Snitsky to drop the chain. Kane and Snitsky hit each other with boots at the same time. Kane sits up in his usual fashion and as he does, Lita grabs the chain out of Snitsky’s hands and when he turns around, Snitsky is hooked into the choke slam.

After the match is over and Kane is on the stretcher, Snitsky runs back down the ramp and tosses Kane off the stretcher face first into the ramp.
Backstage we see Edge where he is asked his thoughts on teaming with Benoit tonight. He complains how it should have been his title shot tonight. Edge basically comes off complaining about the tag team belts and teaming with Benoit and then says how he is destined to be the “World Champion”.
Eugene vs Eric Bischoff
Coach comes out and states that the next match will be Eugene vs Bischoff. Bischoff makes his way to the ring first wearing his karate uniform.
Eugene comes down happy as ever, but is quickly met with a kick from Uncle Eric.
Bischoff lures Eugene in by faking an injury and hits him with another kick.
Eugene quickly pops up and shows how mad he is as he attacks Bischoff. Eugene lays Bischoff out and hits the big legdrop in no time.
Winner: Eugene
Coach now comes out to announce the stipulation the fans voted on. It turns out that Uncle Eric will be shaved bald after an overwhealming vote.
Head being shaved got 59% of the vote. Eugene is still in the ring taunting the audience on.
Coach now tries to change the stipulations up saying that he has the power to override the fan vote. He states that Bischoff will only be Eugene’s servant for 5 minutes.
Vince McMahon’s music is cued. He comes to the ring and says that there will be no changing that Eric Bischoff’s head will be shaved bald. Eric say’s he won’t do it and McMahon says that if he doesn’t do it, then he is fired!
Eric is refusing to do it and Vince keeps telling him he will be fired. Eugene grabs some clippers as Eric finally sits down and Eugene goes to town on Eric’s hair.
Vince now calls Coach back. Vince goes over to the dress. Vince then tells Coach that the dress is his size and since he tried to change the stipulations of the match he is gonna wear this dress! Vince tells him to strip down, because he is gonna wear this damn dress!
We see the coach walking back to the back in his dress and then Vince rides out Eric Bischoff for coloring his hair, because he has gray hair when it is short.
Backstage we see HBK getting his leg wrapped and then Edge goes back there to tell HBK that he could have won the match and that he can’t beat HHH with his injured leg.
Next up we have the Tag Team Championship Match.
We see a quick ad for Survivor Series as the next PPV.
La Resistance vs. Edge & Chris Benoit
La Resistance sings the Canadian National Anthem for us, but then Benoit and Edge make their way out.
All four men stand in the middle of the ring and face off. The referee holds up the belts. It looks like Edge will be first up. Edge goes and chases after Conway and immediatley asserts some offense. Edge is then met with a knife edge chop but reverses with some big right hands and then an irish whip into a clothesline.
Edge makes the tag to Benoit.
Benoit takes apart Conway before tagging in Edge once again.
Edge hits a nice suplex and grounds Conway. He then goes to the top rope, but as he does he gets mad and goes after a fan before being restrained by Benoit.
Edge has a realy pissed off look on his face as he has all night long after losing the fan’s vote. Edge is back in the ring with Sylvian and he sends him to the outside of the ring as he goes out and gives chase. Conway meets him and starts clubbing him over the back and Benoit comes around to even things out.
Conway into the ring and he takes Edge down and now Sylvian is back in and then another tag is made where La Resistance uses a double team on Edge. This match has really slowed down.
Edge finally gets the tag over to Benoit. Benoit comes in with a head of steam but that is quickly derailed by Sylvian. Benoit is pulled into the corner of La Resistance as he is double teamed by both men.
Benoit is in trouble and he fights to get a tag to Edge, but when he finally does, the referee does not see it and sends Edge back to the ropes.
After that happens, Edge just packs up and starts walking to the back. Edge has just walked out and Benoit is stuck in the ring by himself.
The show Edge getting in his car and leaving the arena. It’s all up to Benoit now. Benoit is mounting some offense as he hits a superplex off the top rope. Both men are down on the canvas as La Resistance is the first to get up. Benoit shoots up though and hits a German Suplex on Conway. He then hits two more. Benoit then hooks on the crossface.
I can’t believe it. He hits the crossface on Conway and wins the title!
Winners: Edge? & Chris Benoit
Benoit just won the match by himself after Edge left during the middle of the match.
Backstage we go to HHH where he talks about how it’s crap that the fans got to pick is opponent and that if HBK’s leg is not already broken it will be after this match is over.
J.R. & King discuss whether or not HBK is faking his injury that he suffered last night. They show some highlights that did not air on RAW of HBK needing help out of the ring.
Next up are the two New Divas!
Christy vs Carmella
We see Coach back out on the stage wearing a dress nonetheless this time. He introduces both Carmella and Christy. There are two cubicals which the ladies can change in after the stipulations are announced. Next Coach announces that the cubicals are see-through! He goes through all three stipulations and the vote is for…..Lingerie Pillow Fight with 53%, so the ladies are going to change into the Lingerie.
You can actually see the girls taking off their clothes behind the cubicals. You can see them strip off their panties and all for those of you who care!
Carmella steps out from behind her’s wearing a robe to the ring. Christy is still changing into her lingerie.
Christy comes out wearing a black robe as she comes down to the ring. Both ladies take off their robes as Carmella is wearing nothing but a bra and panties and Christy is wearing a black nightie. Christy immediatley rips off part of Carmellas outfit as she pulls out the stuffing in her bra.
This quickly turns into a catfight with both women rolling around in next too nothing. Christy pins Carmella down for 3 and gets the win, she then jumps around half naked. Great stuff as you can see.
Winner: Christy
Up next is the main event and a bit early at that.
Triple H vs Shawn Michaels
HHH is first out to the ring. HBK follows him and is favoring his leg as he is walking out to the ring. HBK backs into the corner from the get go for support and both men go at it. HBK looks like he is already hurt.
HBK is really favoring his leg in the early going as HHH starts working it over by dropping his knee into HBK’s.
HHH grabs his leg and hooks on a reverse knee lock and just works on his leg in the middle of the ring. HHH hooks on an early figure four as HBK is now fighting for his life. HHH is yelling at the ref to ring the bell and HBK is pleading with him not to do it. HBK is trying to get to the ropes and he finally is able to grab the bottom rope. The referee has to get up and break the hold himself.
HHH is now going to hook on a figure four around the ringpost but HBK kicks HHH away and then sends him into the ringpost face first two times.
HBK finally mounting some offense against HHH as he lands a hard knife edge chop. He then hits a straight right hand, but he can’t leave the ropes because he can’t stand up without the support of them. HBK almost gets a near fall, but HHH is able to kick out.
HBK hits a low blow when the ref is not looking! He then hits a huge DDT as he plants HHH’s face into the ring.
HBK is going up top and he hits a huge elbow off the top rope. Batista is down to the ring and the referee comes over to get him out and as he does, HBK hits the sweet chin music on HHH!
Edge hits the ring also and nails HBK with a spear. Edge has taken HBK down and HHH is still down also. HHH rolls over on HBK and gets the 3 count to retain the title after Edge basically handed him the belt.
Winner: Triple H
After the match is over the crowd gives HBK a standing ovation for his match on one leg. They then go to the back and we see Bischoff with a shaved head as he is yelling at people backstage about his new haircut.
I almost forgot after that match that we still have another match to go. It’s strange seeing them place HHH (NOT) in the Main Event so to speak. Randy Orton and Ric Flair are still to come.
J.R. & King recap the night for us as we gear up for the final match of the night.
Randy Orton vs Ric Flair
Coach is back on the stage after we see highlights leading up into the match between Flair and Orton. Coach announces that this match will be a “Steel Cage Match” as voted on by the fans.
It won very very easily. Flair makes his way down to the ring wearing his famous robe (black) followed by Randy Orton.
Both men get in the steel cage and quickly Flair gets dirty and hits a low blow on Orton and then takes Orton down to the mat and begins to work him over old school style.
Flair prances around the ring and uses an open fist on Orton’s already busted open face. Blood is now running down the face of Randy Orton as you can see.
Ric Flair is rubbing Orton’s forehead only making him bleed more. This match has been all Flair as he has dominated so far.
Flair now has Orton’s blood on his chest and hands and he delivers some knife edge chops. Orton finally gets some offense as Orton sends Flair into the steel cage and now he is bleeding badly! Bloodfest it is!
Both men are trying to get over the top of the cage and both men pull each other off the cage and back down to the mat. All hell is breaking loose now, but Flair hits a low blow and gets the advantage back.
Flair is bleeding old school as his hair has just turned red from the blood. These guys have blood all over them. Orton hits a dropkick which sends Flair right back into the steel cage and down to the mat. Flair gets up and tries to escape but he is caught by Orton.
Flair is getting dirty as he nails Orton with a pair of brass knucks, which somehow Orton is able to kick out of. Again both men are bloody as the match continues Flair goes back to his offense.
Flair is trying to get out of the cage through the door and he is almost out, but before he gets to the mat Orton grabs his leg.
Flair grabs a chair and tosses it into the ring but before he can use it Orton nails an RKO and gets the 3 count!
Winner: Randy Orton
After the match, Flair gets up and starts screaming at Orton. He then stares him down bloody as ever while Orton is covered in blood. In a great moment, Flair extends his hand and gives it too Orton who is helping Flair stand up. Both men bloody as ever hug each other in the middle of the ring and the crowd gives a big cheer. Orton’s music kicks up and the show ends, but that was a great way to send it off.
