WWE Champion John Cena vs. Kurt Angle
September 18, 2005


Click here for video preview.
WWE Champion John Cena has been on a roll ever since coming to RAW. But this Sunday, he'll have to limp into Unforgiven.
Cena may very well have sustained a broken ankle when Kurt Angle attacked him on RAW, pulled Cena to the corner and forced his ankle hard into the ring post. The Olympic gold medalist then worsened the blow with another knee to the injured limb.
As Cena squirmed in agony, General Manager Eric Bischoff screaming at him: “I’ll take your belt. I’ll take your career. I’ll take your dreams,” Bischoff angrily declared.

But Bischoff has upped the ante.
On the Aug. 22 edition of RAW, after Cena defeated Jericho in the You’re Fired Match, Kurt Angle viciously attacked the WWE Champion and let him know that he was the new No. 1 Contender. One week later, Cena called out the Olympic gold medalist, but Angle was reluctant to respond. With his WWE Championship Match already secured for Unforgiven, he didn’t want to do anything to jeopardize his shot at the gold. Cena was able to get under his skin, though, and got Angle to charge at him in the ring. Angle immediately went for the ankle lock, but Cena was able to kick out of it before he locked it in. Will that be a sign of things to come at Unforgiven or will the Olympic gold medalist lock in his deadly hold?
The next week on RAW, Bischoff attempted to further soften the WWE Champion by forcing him into the ring against Tyson Tomko. With Cena suffering a concussion from Tomko’s signature Yakuza Kick earlier in the evening, The Champ was on the defensive almost from the outset. Tomko leveraged his size and strength, but Cena was able to come back with a shoulder block and offensive flurry. After connecting with the Five Knuckle Shuffle, Cena pumped up his shoes and hit an FU for the win. After getting to the top of the ramp, Cena turned around and acknowledged his fans, but with his back turned, Angle appeared and beat down The Champ for the third week in a row. After laying out Cena, Angle posed with the WWE Championship. This past Monday, Angle attacked Cena again, badly injuring his ankle only six days before the big pay-per-view. Could this be a sign of things to come at Unforgiven?

Ric Flair vs. Intercontinental Champion Carlito
September 18, 2005

“The Nature Boy” Ric Flair has had one of the most illustrious careers in sports-entertainment history. He is a 16-time world champion and has held just about every championship there is to hold ... but not the Intercontinental Championship. Flair will get his chance to make history yet again at Unforgiven when he goes one-on-one with Carlito.
Flair was a guest on Carlito’s Cabana a couple of weeks ago, but Carlito wasn’t the most gracious of hosts. In fact, he went so far as to spit pieces of an apple into the Nature Boy’s face.
The following week, Flair was scheduled to team up with Shawn Michaels to take on Carlito and Chris Masters. Before the match even took place, though, Flair was found a bloody mess backstage. Carlito eventually revealed that he was the culprit.

Shawn Michaels vs. Chris Masters

Shawn Michaels is an icon ... but Chris Masters thinks that HBK’s time has come and gone. The Masterpiece is young, powerful and as cocky as they come – and thus far he’s been able to back it up. Masters thinks that his time is now to rise to the top of WWE, and he wants to start by taking out Shawn Michaels at Unforgiven.
A few weeks ago on RAW, Masters interrupted Shawn Michaels while he was addressing the crowd. The cocky youngster said it was time for HBK to pass the torch. HBK, however, refused to give up the spotlight that easily and eventually signed on to take the Master Lock Challenge.
Michaels finally got his chance at the Master Lock Challenge, one week later though. After Masters applied the hold, it looked like HBK would be able to do what no one else had been able to do in five months and break the hold. But Masters hit Michaels with a Chair, busting his head wide open and then reapplied the hold. WATCH

After being hit with the chair, HBK could not come back and break the hold and passed out. This past Monday, HBK again succumbed to the Master Lock after being blindsided and repeatedly rammed into the ring post after coming to Ric Flair's aid. Will things be different when HBK and Masters square off in a one-on-one contest at Unforgiven?

Edge vs. Matt Hardy
September 18, 2005

Matt Hardy and Edge’s rivalry has progressed to such lengths that it must be settled inside a steel cage. This comes after RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff originally slated for the two Superstars to settle things in a RAW Street Fight several weeks ago. Both Edge and Hardy risked life and limb to come out on top. The action spilled up the ramp and onto the stage. Edge avoided a Twist of Fate and Hardy eluded the Spear, but Hardy was able to deliver the Side Effect off the side of the stage sending both men crashing into electrical equipment. WATCH
Bischoff took notice and realized he had to up the ante once again in order for Hardy and Edge to settle things, setting up a Steel Cage Match for Unforgiven. Hardy gladly signed the contract, but after vowing that “Matt Hardy will not die,” Bischoff ordered him to face Snitsky in a tune-up match despite the fact he was in no condition to compete. Hardy gave it a valiant effort, but Snitsky brutalized the already-injured Hardy. After the match, Snitsky continued the punishment and bashed in the back of Hardy’s head with the ring bell.
This past Monday, Edge speared Hardy to end a tag team match. Afterward, Lita lifted Matt's body and added insult to injury by delivering a Twist of Fate to her ex-boyfriend. What will fate have in store inside the steel cage on Sunday? Find out at Unforgiven.

Big Show vs. Snitsky
September 18, 2005


You can bet that this match won’t feature any hurricanranas, head-scissor take-downs or moonsaults. What this match does promise is some brutal, hard-hitting, smashmouth action. Big Show is the biggest man in sports-entertainment today. He’s a real-life, walking and talking giant. And Snitsky has done more than just wake this giant, he’s down-right pissed him off.
Getting on the bad side of a giant isn’t usually one of the smartest things someone can do, but so far Snitsky has gotten the best of Big Show. Big Show dominated a handicap match a couple weeks ago on RAW, but his post-match celebration was short-lived as Snitsky rained on his parade. Snitsky stormed the ring from out of nowhere and savagely attacked Big Show. After taking down the big man, Snitsky grabbed the ring bell and bashed it into the back of his head two times, leaving Big Show flat on the mat. WATCH
One week later, Snitsky picked up a victory over an injured Matt Hardy. Following the victory, Snitsky retrieved the ring bell once again. Big Show tried to make the save, but he was too late. Snitsky, just as he did to Big Show, bashed Hardy’s head with the bell. Snitsky was able to escape through the crowd before Big Show could get his hands on him. But there will be nowhere for Snitsky to escape to at Unforgiven. Will Big Show get his revenge or will Snitsky continue his reign of terror against Big Show?
