Vengence/Heat Thread

[Savio]

World Heavyweight Championship
In a RAW role reversal, The Rabid Wolverine overcame monster odds, making Kane tap for the right to defend his title against No. 1 contender Triple H at Vengeance.

This rivalry comes full circle at the July 11 pay-per-view, following Chris Benoit's victory over The Game at Wrestlemania XX. Since that match, Triple H has successfully forced Shawn Michaels out of the title picture, softening him in Hell in a Cell before a career-threatening attack by Kane. With HBK out of the way, Triple H is primed to take back the World Heavyweight Championship. But just in case, the Cerebral Assassin got inside the head of Eugene. Thanks to The Game's whispering words, Eugene believes Benoit is the enemy. We'll have to wait to see if Evolution's honorary member tries to shift the balance of power Triple H's way.

To this point, the champion has been unflappable. Benoit didn't back down when a recent match stipulated that he had to make Kane submit, while the Big Red Monster could claim the belt virtually any way. The Crippler still came through with a contest-ending Crossface. At Vengeance, expect Benoit to bring the action to Evolution -- no matter who tries to affect the outcome.

Intercontinental Championship
The entire time Edge was out of action, he watched the self-proclaimed "Legend Killer" climb the Monday Night RAW ladder. Every time Orton pulled out another win, Edge's distaste for the rising star grew. Edge counted down the hours until he could formally introduce himself to Orton with a spear. But in recent tag team action, Orton exacted some revenge.

With Chris Jericho too injured to continue, Edge was left to face Evolution alone. He fought and clawed against the two dominant Superstars, but the odds proved overwhelming. When he had nothing left, Orton lifted Edge's slumping body, jawing at him before delivering an extra RKO for the win. In that fashion, the Intercontinental Champion hopes to force Edge back to the sidelines starting July 11 with Vengeance. Edge doesn't just want the gold, he wants to stick it to the Legend Killer.

Chris Jericho vs. Batista
After a vicious clothesline on Monday Night RAW, bloodthirsty Batista hovered above concussed Chris Jericho's battered body. Batista gloated as officials mercifully pulled Y2J from the ongoing tag team match to receive medical attention.

Only one week later, Jericho was back in tag action -- ducking clotheslines, leaping to the outside and launching into Lionsaults. It was a display that had the Richmond, Va., crowd chanting his name.

This time, it was Y2J finishing off Evolution's Batista for the 1-2-3.

At Vengeance, Batista wants to prove that one-on-one, his raw strength and brut force can overpower anyone. Jericho looks to make it two in a row in what would be a huge pay-per-view victory.

Tag Team Championship
While serving as General Manager of RAW for a week, Eugene took it upon himself to add a match to the Vengeance pay-per-view card. Of course, the match included himself; but not just himself, as he will team up with his new "friend" Ric Flair. The duo will take on World Tag Team Champions La Resistance for the gold. While the idea of teaming with Eugene makes Flair sick, the match is the opportunity of a lifetime for Eugene, and he can't wait until Sunday night. Will Eugene and Flair defeat La Resistance for the World Tag Team Championship? There's only one way to find out -- order Vengeance live on pay-per-view.

Kane vs Hardy
Both Matt Hardy and Kane are accomplished wrestlers. Over the past several years, both have been involved in matches and rivalries that can be considered some of the best in the business. But this isn't about business. What's going on between Matt Hardy and Kane is personal.

While Hardy and Lita have had some differences in the past, they have recently been able to put those problems behind them and move on. In fact, the two recently became lovers again. Things were going great for the young couple. It seemed as though nothing could break this union.

Enter Kane. The Big Red Monster recently threatened the lovely Lita, claiming that he would do unimaginable things to her boyfriend if she didn't sleep with him. In an attempt to save Matt, Lita did sleep with Kane. Unfortunately for Lita, however, that is not where the story ends. Lita is now pregnant, and she doesn't know if Hardy or Kane is the father.

The horrible news has sent Hardy into a rampage. He wants nothing more than to destroy Kane for ruining his life. He will have his opportunity this Sunday, live on pay-per-view, when he faces the monster Kane.

Victoria vs. Molly
If anyone wants Vengeance on Sunday, it's Molly Holly. In front of the wrestling word at historic WrestleMania XX, Victoria shaved Molly bald following their Women's Championship Match. It was an added insult on a night when Molly came so close to claiming gold -- hitting a huge powerbomb and going for another. The second powerbomb was one-too-many as Victoria rolled Molly up for the win -- and shave. In Hartford, Conn., Holly hopes for a far better result.
