Major Announcement
September 19, 2005

Monday Night RAW comes to you just 24 hours after the Unforgiven pay-per-view, and Mr. McMahon will have a major announcement tonight.

Last night at Unforgiven, Kurt Angle was able to defeat John Cena. Angle, however, did not walk out as the WWE Champion, as his victory came via disqualification. What will Angle have in store for Cena, one night after coming so close to winning the WWE Championship? Watch Monday Night RAW to find out.

History was made last night when Ric Flair captured the Intercontinental Championship from Carlito. After the match, Flair was seen partying until he dropped. Carlito will get a shot to regain the gold tonight on RAW in a huge rematch. Will all of Flair's excessive partying have an effect on the outcome?

Another major championship changed hands at Unforgiven when Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch defeated The Hurricane & Rosey for the World Tag Team Championship. Be sure to catch Day One of Cade & Murdoch's reign on top of the tag team mountain Monday night on RAW.

All this and more tonight on RAW (Spike TV, 9/8 CT).

Check back here throughout the day as more RAW matches and information is announced

Anywho, my guess is Vince's announcement will probably be either the return of Taboo Tuesday or hyping up the "Night of Champions" 3 hour Raw USA (re)debut.

The most interesting part of Raw ought to be how WWE screws Matt Hardy over, since he actually looked good last night.

I'm actually looking forward to Raw, which, sadly, will probably guarantee disappointment for all.

5 bucks says the announcement is either going to be about WWE's move to the USA network, Triple H, or a combination of the two.JML897

I resent that The Dude 14

Cena would have been losing 10-0 2 minutes to go then clothesline, clothesline, Shoulderblock,Sitout powerbowb, 5 knuckleshuffle, FU then 123,123,123,123,123,123,123,123,123,123,123, Cena retains the title with the greatest comeback ever

ROTFL a handicap Ironman match

I know here's the match

5 on 1 tag handicap ironman lumberjack match , Cena only wins by elimanting all and only by pin, can be DQ.
Others; ECW rules, NO DQ, can make cena tap or otherwise. No tagging needed to switch out

And there I was, thinking this show might not suck.JML897

I know it's been said before, but the TNA commercial was the most exciting part of Raw.JML897

Holy ****! Not only did Cena finally manage to A. appear on screen without annoying me, B. Cut a promo without annoying me, but he actually managed to entertain me and make me laugh. That was a highly entertaining little segment.The_Dude14

Yea your right like lex but with the Perfect char

MAIN EVENT TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well a very good main event finishes off a mediocre episode of RAW that contained a few good moments.

The good moments being Vince showing up, Trish Stratus, Carlito/Flair match, and Cena promo.

I'm really glad the main event had a decent amount of time since I was worried it would have ended up one of those quick everyone in the ring chaos kinda things. The ending of the match was funny too with Show pinning Edge while Cena, Matt, and Shawn piling up on top. :lol:

A highly, highly entertaining main event to cap off one of the few Raw's recently I've genuinely enjoyed. They did a good job of starting up the hype for the Homecoming, but not sacrificing this show to do it. The Tomko squash and women's match were nothing special, but kept short. Murdoch vs the Hurricane was fairly decent, Hurricane did a good job selling his injury and doing his best. Murdoch still isn't looking too promising, though. Flair vs Carlito was pretty boring, IMO, but you know what, I'll take boring WRESTLING over whatever else they could have done with it. John Cena even works his way into the +'s of this Raw. His promo with his team was highly entertaining and showed me a John Cena I can support. He wasn't trying to be the Rock or Stone Cold, he seemed like he was really being John Cena and it clicked. Hopefully we see more of this from Cena.

I really enjoyed this Raw and Shelton Benjamin didn't even appear. Hopefully, this is a turning point for Monday nights, and not an exception.

The following is what we know so far for the big WWE RAW return to USA Network in two weeks, October 3rd, which will be a special three-hour live presentation:

WWE Championship:
-John Cena (c) vs. Eric Bischoff

Money In The Bank:
(Ladder Match)
-Edge vs. Matt Hardy

WWE legends returning live on the show: Mr. McMahon, Hulk Hogan, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Triple H, Mick Foley, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, Harley Race, "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, Hillbilly Jim, "Superstar" Billy Graham, "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, The Iron Sheik, Jimmy Hart, "Chief" Jay Strongbow, Nikolai Volkoff, Koko B. Ware, Fabulous Moolah, and Mae Young.
