And for the grand finale I'd have Raw book a special Christmas edition of Raw called "A very Raw Christmas: Season's Beatings" Or something corny like that. It would be a Two hour live special, or if you couldn't do that, then just two consecutive special Raw's.
But before that the week after Survivor Series you have the conclusion of the #1 Contender Tag Team Tournament... The final match is between The Steiners (Rick Steiner & Scott Steiner) vs. Diesel & Shawn Michaels.... I think you have this match take up an entire episode. You have Shawn show his stamina by taking a beating and just coming back each time. In the first half you have Diesel dominating the duo, but as time goes on The brothers and regular team begin to wear down the big man. It looks like they're gonna have the match won when The Headshrinkers come out, distract The Steiners, allowing Diesel to take over. Jackknife on Samu. 1-2-3.
The Tag Team Title match is seat for two weeks from then. The Headshrinkers defend against Diesel & Shawn Michaels.
In the meantime you could set up promos about Bret trying to get his hands on Lawler before the big title match. Lawler could have legal documents stating if Bret gets his hands on him before it that he will lose the title. Owen and Bret would make up while Lawler continually tries to put ideas in Owen's head.
Tatanka continues to win.
In the tag team title match The Headshrinkers & Diesel and Shawn Michaels take up the entire episode once again. Fatu looks especially good for his team, not taking anything away from Samu, but Fatu stands toe to toe with Diesel and looks good. In the end it looks like The Headshrinkers are going to retain, when the Steiners, livid from the tournament final, distract The Headshrinkers, allowing the Shawn Michaels to take advantage this time and get the win and the Tag Titles.
After the match Fatu challenges The Steiners to settle this at the Raw Special in a Steel Cage Match. They accept.
In the next weeks Razor Ramon comes out (recovered from the beating he took at Survivor Series) and cuts promos on Bam Bam Bigelow, demanding he come out and take the beating he deserves. Bam Bam only agrees to do it if Razor will put the IC title on the line at the Raw Special. Razor gladly accepts.
The Smoking Gunns would win a match against Money Inc. which would make them #1 Contenders to Diesel & Shawn Michaels at the Raw special.
Undertaker and Yokozuna would continue their mind games. Undertaker would also challenge the winner of Jerry Lawler & Bret Hart to a WWF Title match at the Royal Rumble.
Lex Luger would continue to be heel and attack Mr. Perfect backstage multiple times.
Ludvig Borga would challenge 1-2-3 Kid one more time to avenge his defeat at Survivor Series, but The kid would win again, proving he can win the big one, and sending Ludvig out of WWF.
The Raw Special looks like this:
If it's a two week thing I'd add Tatanka vs. Randy Savage where Tatanka could get a huge win over a legend and stay undefeated. If not you can do it the first Raw of 1994 to do something special there.
Lex Luger vs. Mr. Perfect.... Mr. Perfect is leaving soon and I think Lex Luger injuring him and sending him out of WWF is a perfect way to make Luger a dangerous heel.
WWF World Tag Team Title Match- Diesel & Shawn Michaels (C) vs. The Smoking Gunns (Billy Gunn & Bart Gunn).... Billy & Bart really show they are the better tag team, but Shawn proves he's a better wrestler and Diesel proves he's more dominant and end up retaining the belts.
Undertaker vs. Yokozuna.... I'd have this be very back and forth, Jerry Lawler would end up coming down and helping Yokozuna win the match. They'd beat down Undertaker after the match.
Intercontinental Title Match: Razor Ramon (C) vs. Bam Bam Bigelow.... This is just a brawl. The ref is lax with the rules and let's them brawl outside a bit, which would be very unusual at the time. In the end, Razor looks like he's gonna win, Jerry Lawler comes down, pulls the ref out. Razor goes outside to bitch. This allows Bam Bam to grab brass knucks. He hits Razor, he's out. Ref comes back in. 1-2-3. New champion. After the match Bam Bam continues to attack and injure Razor.
Tag Team Steel Cage Match: Win by pin or submission only: The Steiners vs. The Headshrinkers... Brutal match. The Steiners end up winning clean. The Headshrinkers are outraged and after the match say they aren't done. They're challenging The Steiner's to one final Match at The Royal Rumble. Loser leaves WWF. The Steiners accept.
WWF Title Match: Bret Hart w/ Owen Hart vs. Jerry Lawler w/ Bam Bam Bigelow... Bret sees Lawler bring Bam Bam and calls for Owen to back him up which he does. Before the match starts the cameras go to the back to show Randy Savage laid out in the back. The camera goes back and Bret and Jerry get quite a bit of time and have a heated classic. Eventually Bret has Lawler locked in the middle of the ring in the sharpshooter. He's close to tapping, but Bam Bam hops up on the apron. Owen does the same and the ref goes to him to get down. Bam Bam tries to attack but Bret stops him. But Shawn Michaels comes down and tries to attack, only to receive a few punches and he goes down. But Diesel is not far behind, and the numbers game has added up. An injured Undertaker comes down, it looks like the odds might be evened up, but Yokozuna has come down and both of them end up getting a Bonzai, and then everyone elses finishers, while Owen screams in outrage as the ref tries to get him off the apron. Eventually he gets down, Lawler hits Bret with another piledriver for assurance, and gets the 1-2-3. New WWF Champion: Jerry Lawler. Owen gets in the ring and looks pissed.... then looks down at Bret... and applies the sharpshooter.... You can hear Owen telling Lawler, "What a great plan Jerry, I've gotta listen to you more often." The last image of Raw in 1993 is Lawler, Shawn Michaels, Diesel, & Bam Bam Bigelow holding up their gold while Owen Hart has Bret Hart locked in the sharpshooter and Yokozuna sits on Undertaker's chest. A new dominant heel stable is born.
This sets up a Bret Hart-Owen Hart feud for next year, which happens.
This sets up Jerry Lawler-Undertaker for the Rumble, which I'd have Taker win.
This sets up Bam Bam Bigelow for a dominating heel run as IC champ.
This sets up Razor Ramon for a huge face return. I'd have him be the last one eliminated in the Royal Rumble by
Yokozuna. Razor would face Lawler at WM while Yokozuna would win the Royal Rumble and challenge Undertaker at WrestleMania. They can have their casket match there.
Diesel & Shawn would hold their titles until WrestleMania where Shawn would get pinned by
Fatu of the Headshrinkers who looks very dominant in the year 1994, Samu gets shots as well.
Tatanka stays undefeated before losing to Lex Luger at WrestleMania
The Smoking Gunns & Men On A Mission would feud for who would take on the winner of the WrestleMania tag title match.
And either have Randy Savage put over Crush, Adam Bomb, or Jeff Jarrett, whichever you want to push. Maybe all of them, and then have The 1-2-3 Kid be the last one he gets a victory over before he leaves for WCW or the announce table or whatever.
