Raw Results - 2nd Jan 2006
WWE RAW Opener:
The music of Vince McMahon hit in the arena as he made his way down to the ring. Joey Styles, Jerry Lawler and the Coach welcomed us from ringside as McMahon said he announced last week a personal zero tolerance policy, which means he won’t take any crap from anyone ever again. Not from you people, not from Shawn Michaels, not from anyone! Translation, no more Mr Nice Guy! He said he’s going to move on, but for him, not for the people. Everything he did professionally was for the fans, but to hell with that. From now on, it’s all about him. That is why he made tonight’s First Blood Match, for his own amusement. That is also why he made the match they are about to see. He handed Lilian to mic and then Kane’s pyro hit as he made his way to the ring as one half of the World Tag Team Champions!
Kane vs. Shawn Michaels
Shawn Michaels music then hit as he made his way down to the ring, and it looks like Vince is punishing the Heartbreak Kid! Vince stayed in the ring as Michaels entered and got back on the mic. McMahon said there is a stipulation in this match, if Shawn Michaels uses the Superkick, he is disqualified and loses the match! Michaels was pissed and argued with Vince and we are underway.
Michaels went to work with chops in the corner and then went for a cross body but Kane caught him but Michaels wiggled free. Michaels nailed more chops but Kane tossed him hard to the corner. Kane kicked away at Michaels in the corner as McMahon looked on from ringside. Kane went for a suplex but Michaels got an inside cradle for two.

Kane hit a body slam and then chopped the throat and covered for two. Kane ate boot in the corner and Michaels started to come back with chops to the chest and then clotheslined Kane to the outside! Michaels hit a flying cross body over the top and McMahon got to his feet. Michaels yelled at McMahon and asked why’s he doing it, and that he has given him everything. Kane then nailed Michaels and McMahon laughed as we went to commercial.
Back on RAW and Michaels has Kane in a sleeper hold. Kane backed Michaels to the corner but Michaels jumped back on with the sleeper. Kane backed Michaels to the corner again and Michaels again dived back on with the sleeper hold. Kane escaped with a back suplex as McMahon looked on.

Kane headed up top and went for the clothesline but Michaels ducked it and knocked Kane down with a pair of clotheslines before heading up top himself. Michaels came off with the flying elbow drop and now he instinctively wants to do Sweet Chin Music. Michaels goes for it and McMahon gets on the mic and said if he uses it, he will be thrown out of the Elimination Chamber! Kane then nailed Michaels with the Chokeslam for the win!

Last week on WWE Unlimited:
Gregory Helms was shown giving comments saying someone is holding him down, saying bad things about him, and that person is Jerry Lawler. Everyone loves the King. Making a joke out of his career isn’t funny at all, and Helms said he is going to shut him up.
In the arena:
The music of Gregory Helms hit in the arena as he made his way down to the ring with a mic in hand. Helms said Lawler is talking trash about somebody, hiding behind his table and microphone. He said unlike Lawler, if he has something to say, he says it face to face. Helms said he knows there is a little spring left in the King and to get in the ring and hear him out. Lawler did so as Helms asked Lawler if he had something to say. He said when he was the Hurricane, Lawler had a joke a minute. Helms said if anyone is a joke, it’s Lawler. Lawler said at least when he was the Hurricane, at least he was half way entertaining, but now, he’s not a Hurricane, he’s just a guy…who sucks. Helms slapped Lawler and then King nailed him with some right hands and Lawler challenged Helms to a match at New Years Revolution! Helms backed up the aisle as the King’s music played.

Maria asked if they wanted to be on kiss cam, and Victoria took the mic and asked Maria if she had a nice new years? Victoria said she was home hurt, recovering from what Carlito did to her.

The music of Triple H hit in the arena as eh made his way down to the ring. Triple H got on the mic and said there is a lot of people in the world who talk about the things they want to get done, but when they get round to it, they fail miserably. He said when he comes up with a plan, he follows through with it, and when he executes the plan he nails it every time. There is no coincidence or chance, it’s all premeditated. He will take any moment and make it an opportunity to benefit him. He’s sure Big Show is sitting home thinking this is information he could have used last week. We then see footage of last week’s contract signing, with Triple H stabbing Show in the face with a pen, and then whacking the right hand of the Big Show with the sledgehammer. They didn’t show the right footage, but it’s live TV and he’ll just wing it. He said last week Big Show got in his face and he broke his damn hand. Nothing is funnier to him than someone else’s misfortune, but he doesn’t think Big Show found it funny. He said it wasn’t meant to be funny, it was meant to be dead serious. He said Show stuck his nose into his business, and if he keeps pushing his luck, he will hurt him permanently. He said there is an old saying, the bigger they are the harder they fall…the music of the Big Show then hit and he had a huge cast over his entire hand! Triple H looked worried and then started laughing and mocked the Big Show. Triple H backed out of the ring and grabbed a steel chair. Show made his way over towards Triple H and Show punched the chair right out of his hand! Show then punched right through a monitor and sparks flew! Show punched the steel steps over, and Show has a sledgehammer for a fist with that cast! Triple H backed up the aisle and these two meet at New Years Revolution!

She called him a disgrace and to get his behind in the shower because he stinks!
