What would you see fit as a Redeeming RAW? What matches and storylines would you like to see to make up for the sub-par NYR. I don't regret watching the PPV, but I think we all realise that it was a bad start to the year for the WWE.
Here's how I'd have RAW turn out, in an attempt to make the WWE seem more of an appealing place:
World Heavyweight Championship
Triple H vs. Chris Jericho
Story: Eric Bischoff pulls the name of one of the wrestlers in the Elimination Chamber match at New Year's Revolution to challenge Triple H in the main event for the World Heavyweight Championship. Eric Bischoff announces that it will be Triple H vs. Chris Jericho!
The Match: A good match between Triple H and Y2J, with chaos eventually breaking out. Eventually Jericho gets Triple H in the Walls of Jericho and Batista runs into the ring, only for him to stop in the corner, just like Triple H did at New Year's Revolution. Batista then fakes that he's hurt (like The Game) and then "falls" (Batista deliberately overacts) out of the ring only to start smiling and walking to the back. Triple H taps and the week after we can hear what in my mind will be a classic line; Batista telling Triple H "I still think you should have beaten Jericho.".
Six-Man Tag Team Match
Batista, Ric Flair & Simon Dean vs. Shawn Michaels, Randy Orton & Chris Benoit
The Story: Eric Bischoff signs this match as a way to punish Evolution for ruining his Chamber match last night, and forces them to team with a newcomer.
The Match: Edge runs in and Spears Michaels just as he is about to hit the Sweet Chin Music on Simon Dean. Dean then pins Michaels to give himself and Evolution the win.
WWE Intercontinental Championship
Shelton Benjamin vs. Muhammad Hassan
The Story: Shelton Benjamin comes out and says he's on a roll, so he feels he can take anyone in the back on for the WWE Intercontinental Championship. Muhammad Hassan answers his call for a worthy opponent.
The Match: The two hopefully have a fantastic match, and both guys "finishers", The Exploder and the Downward Spiral (I use finisher lightly, because he has only used it once to my knowledge) are kicked out of. Hassan takes a great Exploder after being caught off a double ax handle off the top rope. Hassan wins the match cleanly with The Finishing Touch. Benjamin then offers Hassan his hand, and Hassan in awe accepts.
Singles Match
William Regal vs. Maven
The Story: Eric Bischoff goes to strip William Regal and Eugene of the World Tag Team Championship, but William pleads that he be allowed to defend the titles with a partner of his choosing. Eric Bischoff gives him one week to choose a partner to work with Regal as one-half of the new World Tag Team Champions. Maven overhears this, and complains to Eric Bischoff that if Regal is allowed to hold the World Tag Team Championship, even though he doesn't have a partner, Maven should be able to win the World Tag Team Championship even though he doesn't have a partner. Coach agrees with Maven, saying that's fair (Coach is in Bischoff's office to ask if he can permanently join the RAW announce team as its third member). Bischoff agrees and signs this match, with the winner being given one week to choose a partner to become the new World Tag Team Champions.
The Match: Maven uses every trick he can, and eventually it is Regal's own brass knuckles trick that leads to Regal's downfall. Maven now has to find a partner in the next week to become the new World Tag Team Champions.
Singles Match
Christian vs. Rhyno
The Story: This match is announced along with pretty much most of the card when Bischoff addresses the RAW audience apologizing for the atrocity that was New Year's Revolution. They use the Evolution screwjob, and injuries as basis for this, but we'd take it another way.
The Match: Great match between two great superstars. Tyson Tomko goes to get involved, but he is intercepted stopped by Tajiri. Rhyno hits The Gore for the clean win.
Developements:
-Chris Jericho is the new World Heavyweight Champion (Heh, I wish).
-Batista gets Triple H back, without completely turning face.
-Simon Dean gets noticed, while Edge furthers his feud with Shawn Michaels.
-Muhammad Hassan is the new IC Champion, and a credible one at that, we also get him and Shelton striking a strange kind of friendship, which could lead to the Hassan we all wanted to see when he debuted.
-Maven gets to choose a partner to be apart of the new World Tag Team Champions (and has exactly one week to do so).
-A tag team feud between Rhyno & Tajiri and Christian & Tyson Tomko is started.
-Jonathan Coachman is added to the RAW announce-table as its third commentator.
-We see a video of large man in a large trenchcoat and hat in Snitsky's hospital room. We see him raise his head, and it is revealed to be Kane.
