Back from the break, as WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION Chris Benoit is coming out for action. Rob Conway composes the opposition. It's so sad without Dupree. Johnny Nitro arrives in a ref shirt and sling. It's the old Monday Nitro music for him. How...lame. Lock up to start and the chops are unloaded in the corner. Nitro waves him off. Headlock on Conway, shoulder block off an Irish Whip counter. Neckbreaker on Benoit after Grenier distracts Benoit. Benoit comes back with the chops. Suplex on Benoit after a rake of the eyes for a two count. Inverted chin lock on Benoit to slow the pace down. Benoit escapes, goes behind Conway and delivers a German. Clothesline on Conway followed by a backbreaker for two. Snap suplex on Conway but Conway's feet take out Nitro. Grenier in for a double-team Whiplash on Benoit. Certainly cooler than the Double Flapjack. Two count on that from another ref. Grenier is disposed of and Conway eats Crossface and taps to give Benoit the win. Energetic but the ref thing was silly. *1/2
Meanwhile, WILLIAM FUCKING REGAL RETURNS to bother Eric Bischoff. He's not back on Raw though officially but Eric might have a spot if he can do a job for him. They bring up the ass kissing which I don't need to remember. Eric wants him to manage his nephew Eugene Dinsmore (Nick Dinsmore's new character that's debuted on house shows). Regal agrees. We'll see where this goes.
