I am currently exhausted, so do not expect anything remotely resembling a good report tonight. In other words, same deal as always. After the opening music the Chris Jericho’s pyrotechnics and music hit for his match against Christian. Jericho was extremely over. The two fought their usual high paced style. Jericho spanked Trish after she tried to save Christian from the walls, and then would hit a spring board cross body to Christian and Trish wile they were outside.

The match continued after the break, and Jericho was firmly in control with Trish out and Christian about to be in the Walls. A bald guy ran down and kicked Jericho in the face (Falling backwards as he did) allowing Christian to get the win. Christian defeated Chris Jericho via pin fall.

Backstage, Christian introduced Trish’s new “Problem solver” Thompson Tomko. Chris Benoit came down to the ring to a huge ovation. He says that it all started in the dungeon. There was a “Stu” chant, and Chris Benoit thanked the man who trained him. The Champion talked about all he has done to get where he is today. Shawn Michaels came to the ring to his usual Canadian heat, and the King said that he made Bret Hart tap out in ninety-seven. Shawn asked him if he really believed he was the best, and thanks to the pin fall he scored over Benoit before Wrestlemania he calls the fact into question. He offers a chance to prove who is the best, man to man. They get ready to wrestle when Bishoff with Johnny Nitro comes to the stage. He refuses to allow the match to happen, because it needs proper build up. So he books the match for two weeks in Phoenix Arizona. The Champion and the Challenger shake hands and stare down to seal the deal.

Last night there was a God awful Women’s match. Tonight, there will probably be another one. Victoria, appearing happier after a kiss by a young fan, squared off against the wig-wearing Molly. Some interesting spots by Victoria and proper selling by Molly made this match light years better than the one last night. Molly finally had her wig completely ripped off, and she went ballistic. She applied an illegal chokehold and refused to release it. Victoria defeated Molly Holly via disqualification. Shades of Bob Backlund. A long limo arrived, and Evolution got out of it. The only one not sporting gold was their leader. Hunter was informed of the match made for Phoenix in two weeks, and replied that it was his match.

In a taped segment which featured sound effects, Kane realized he has become weak. He promised to change that tonight by offering a sacrifice. In Bishoff’s office, Johnny Nitro wondered who would be sacrificed. William Regal came in to complain about Eugene. He revealed that Eugene is somewhere, playing hide and seek. He tried to get Bishoff to be it, but Bishoff said that he would never work again if he didn’t find Eugene – and that Kane would be sacrificing him.

Randy Orton came down to the ring to address his victory last night, which culminated one of the most one-sided feuds in WWE history. He asked who the “No dues paying, wet behind the ears, punk kid now?” He said that he knew everyone bought tickets to Raw in advance to congratulate Mick Foley, but it didn’t happen. He thanked Mick Foley then, happy to have fought the real Hardcore Legend and not the author of children’s books. He ran down what the real Mick Foley did him last night, and yet he took it all and won. Afterward, he realized something – he had entered the match last night as “The Legend Killer” and left the match as “The Living Legend.” Edge came to the ring, and compliments the victory speech. Edge claims he has been watching him for fourteen months, and that he does not like him. He claims he might not be legend, but he wants him to spit in his face. Orton refuses, saying he is sore and tired but also because Edge isn’t worth it. Edge clocked Orton, but Evolution made the save. After a power bomb to Edge, Chris Benoit ran to ringside and was beating Evolution until Triple H hit the ring. Evolution beat down of the Heavyweight Champion, and the Game gave Benoit a pedigree. Evolution posed at the stage, when Eric Bishoff came down and declared tonight’s main event of Flair and Batista versus Chris Benoit and Edge for the Tag Titles.

Last night the WWE buried Tajiri. Jonathon Coachman came out to introduce Garrison Cade. Coach joined the broadcast team to hype up Cade in his match against Tajiri. The WWE ticker played over this match while the announcers made sweet love to Cade. If I looked at the television at all during this I do not remember doing so. Garrison Cade ended the agony with a flying elbow drop. Garrison Cade defeated Tajiri via pin fall.

An advertisement for WWE Experience airs. The Smackdown! rebound shows the Big Show’s very weird angle from last week. I didn’t see it before, and I must say I didn’t like it one bit. In the ring, Eugene was found with the T-Shirt gun. I have heard many reports that the T-Shirt guy is usually the most over guy at any event. William Regal came down to get short in the balls, and indeed he got shot by a compressed T-Shirt in the balls. Yep, no one saw that coming. Ladies and gentlemen, the WWE has finally reached the level of America’s Funniest Home Videos. A brief “Eugene” chant took the crowd.

Backstage, the Canadians promise to prove every one is wrong because they are going to win. Straight from the time filler department, Val and Lita tagged up to take on Gail Kim and Matt Hardy V1. Matt has 44 different action figures. Matt doesn’t waste time making his bed. Kane stormed the ring and knocked Val out as the heels ran away. Kane grabbed Lita while Matt watched on. Suddenly, he burst into the ring to try and save Lita. He got destroyed by Kane while Lita cowered in the corner.

In what might have been the most bizarre vignette I have ever seen, Hirohito was hyped. At least, I think it was for the WWE. It was about the Japanese war with America (Name it children of America) and a new leader arising from the ashes. The main even was next. Edge was in trouble and got the hot tag to Benoit, who nearly won the match twice but was finally overcome thanks to interference by Triple H. God, I’m tired.

Redrum. Redrum. Redrum. Benoit was mounting a comeback but more interference by the Game stopped that. A “We want Bret” chant erupted. Benoit managed to tag in Edge, who countered a power bomb with a cast shot. Benoit hit the flying head butt and was pulled outside by HHH. Shawn ran down and delivered the super kick to Hunter, and in the ring Edge nailed Batista with the spear for the pin fall. We’ve got new World Tag Team Champions. Chris Benoit and Edge defeated Evolution for the World Tag Championships.
