Recap of Goldberg getting punked out by Batista last week.

Intro…

Evolution (minus HHH, plus Batista) comes out. Flair says that Goldberg is not in the building, because of Batista. Batista gets on the mic, and says that Goldberg should be honored that HHH wanted him taken out. He then laid claim to playing all those tricks 2 weeks ago to make him paranoid. All he wanted to do is make Goldberg an easy target. Wow, they are really trying to bury him. Orton then says that since Goldberg is put out, the title should go back to the last champion, HHH. This brings out Bischoff, who plays coy and asks Evo what them taking out Goldberg does to him…Makes him the happiest man alive. He then reminds us that Goldberg speared him a few weeks ago. Bischoff takes out Goldberg’s belt from a bag he was carrying, and starts to say that Goldberg is stripped, but Austin comes out and says that Goldberg can’t be stripped, because he talked to Goldberg and he will be back for a match at Survivor Series against HHH for the Title. Flair pops a gasket. Austin starts walking back, Batista catches up to him on the stage and says that he took out Goldberg last week, and it looks like Austin is looking form some physical altercation. Then from the crowd, Cade & Jindrak jump Flair and Orton in the ring. That was pretty cool!

Winner – Booker

Jericho comes out right before Booker went for a Spinarooni to do an impromptu Highlight Reel with Booker. Christian and Steiner come out, Christian being officially part of Team Bischoff and they do a 3 on 1 attack. A steel cage lowers and right before it gets to the ring, RVD enters and clears out Team Bischoff, then declares that he is part of Team Austin.

Jericho livid. Bischoff gives him an IC Title shot to send Austin a message.

Mark Henry (w/ Theodore Long) vs. Lance Storm
Henry dominates the 2 minutes of the match, then HBK comes out and gives Henry a superkick. I guess HBK didn’t forget about being pummeled by Henry like a month ago.
No Contest.

JR and King tell us that there is a Fatal 4-Way for the #1 Woman’s Contendership, and that Shane has a match against a mystery opponent in a No DQ Match.

John Heidenreich is tagging with Hurricane tonight with his tryout match. Roosevelt comes in and wants a photo with Hurricane and Heidenreich. During the picture, Hurricane asks who Little Johnny is, and Heidenreich whispers it in his ear. After he leaves, Hurricane says that he knows people think he is crazy for wearing a cape, but that guy is off his rocker.

Lita catches up with Christian and wonders why he helped her out last week, and thinks that he is just trying to one up Jericho. Christian then busts out a copy of Lita’s book, and there is a picture of them two together holding hands. Christian just wants it out in the open. Lita is fluster and goes to get ready for her match.

But when Test gets to the ring, he grabs a mic and says that he gets to introduce Shane’s mystery opponent because Shane broke his foot.

Test then whacks Shane with his crutch, and continues to call for Kane, saying they had a deal. Test goes for a pumphandle on a trash can, but Shane reverses it into Tornado DDT on the trash can! Shane sets up for the Van Terminator (or Air Shane as JR is calling it) and nails it for the win.
Winner – Shane O’Mac

In Memory of Road Warrior Hawk Montage.

Coach comes out to review Stone Cold’s book. He says that the book is full of lies, but he does encourage everyone to buy it because it will become a collector’s item since Austin’s team will be losing. Austin comes out and tries to get Coach to hit him. Coach has a better idea and gives a free shot to Austin. Austin then says that he wants Coach to do the post match interview after his team wins at Survivor Series, because Coach is the first face he wants to see.

RVD goes to the top again, but Jericho pulls him back down. Jericho goes for a Lionsault, but lands on his feet after RVD moves. RVD then catapults Jericho to the top turnbuckle, and Jericho goes to climb out, but RVD grabs him by the hair. They then are both on the top rope, and RVD slams Jericho’s face on the top bar, and Jericho flops to the mat and RVD goes over the top…but Jericho tries to go out the door, but RVD hangs from the cage and kicks the door shut in Jericho’s face to become the new Champ!
Winner – RVD

Scott Steiner & Christian come through the crowd to beat down RVD, and toss him back in the cage.
