411’s LIVE Raw Coverage 11.22.04 | Benoit Vs Edge (Part 2); Batista, Flair Again

Ad Break ends (9:15)

During the break, Edge focused the head of Benoit. Benoit goes for the German suplex, but Edge elbows him in the head and Benoit has bladed. Edge uses mounted punches and sees the blood on his hands. Edge seems to like it. Edge tosses Benoit into the cage face-first. Edge slaps Benoit. He hits a running kick to the head and tells the crowd that’s it. He slooowly starts to climb, mocking the crowd. He gets up top, but Benoit grabs a leg and starts to pull him down. Benoit pulls Edge back in and yanks him down, making him land face-first on the top turnbuckle… in perfect position for the Germans! He takes them with gusto, too. One, two, three, four, FIVE! Benoit starts the escape and gets to the top, but now Edge grabs a leg and stands on the top rope. He pulls Benoit back in, but Benoit kills him with headbutts to send him down, and then hits the diving headbutt… for two? Benoit quickly puts Edge in the Crossface. Edge ponders tapping. Edge rolls through it backwards, though, and makes the ropes. Benoit throws some punches and lets go. Benoit walks into an armdrag through the ropes and into the cage. Now Edge returns the baseball slide dropkick favor. Benoit gets up on the apron and starts a slugfest and did JR just call him Elway? Our referees open the cage door as the slugfest progresses toward it, and Benoit slams the door into Edge’s head. Benoit is out too, though, so they get up at the same time… and Edge spears Benoit through the door!

Winner: Chris Benoit via escape (15:35)

Edge is distraught in the middle of the cage. Cool finish to a cage match.

Batista is still watching the TV backstage. Ric Flair is surprised that he’s still here, but Batista says that he’s going to the ring, and he wants HHH to join him so that he can finish what he started. He tells Flair to decide whose side he’s on. Flair is taken aback. Batista heads toward the ring…
