Night Raw
Date: January 14, 2002
Location: American Airlines Center, Dallas, Texas
Commentators: Jerry Lawler, Jim Ross
We open with a recap of Austin vs. Angle from Smackdown which ended with Kane interfering for no apparent reason and chokeslamming both guys. A few other guys came out and the mini Rumble before the Rumble went down with HHH standing tall.
Lance Storm and Christian praise Jericho. Bradshaw comes in to yell at them, saying George Bush has given Jericho his freedom. Without making this a political argument, 1. Jericho is Canadian, 2. What freedom did Bush give him? 3. Why is Bradshaw talking to the world champion? Apparently a match is made.
Bubba Ray Dudley vs. Spike Dudley
Tajiri/Hurricane vs. Billy and Chuck
Undertaker arrives.
Scotty and Albert are at WWF New York.
Jazz vs. Jacqueline
Kurt Angle vs. Kane
Kane loads up the top rope clothesline but Angle runs the corner for the suplex. We needed that as hopefully the match can pick up a bit now. A quick ankle lock attempt is broken up and the enziguri puts Angle down. Kane throws Angle into the corner and pounds away before going up top, where he blocks another suplex attempt. The top rope clothesline gets two but the chokeslam is countered into the ankle lock.
Stephanie manipulates HHH to go after Austin.
Edge/Rob Van Dam vs. William Regal/Test
The APA gets Rikishi to be their partner.
Big Show vs. Booker T
We recap Vince and Flair from earlier.
Chris Jericho/Lance Storm/Christian vs. APA/Rikishi
