Night Raw
Date: August 23, 2004
Location: Arrowhead Pond, Anaheim, California
Commentators: Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler
We open with a quick recap of Orton being thrown out of Evolution.
Opening sequence. I miss Across the Nation as the theme song.
Kane, in his ring gear, arrives with his suit in a bag.
We recap Evolution turning on Randy Orton and throwing him off the team last week.
The remaining members of Evolution are in the back. Batista has delivered an ultimatum to Orton for later tonight.
Kane comes in to see a disgusted Lita and promises that nothing will ruin this wedding tonight. The wedding will be an all white affair to signify the purity of his child. He even has a dress for her.
Intercontinental Title: Chris Jericho vs. Edge
William Regal vs. Ric Flair
Rating: C+. This was the kind of hard hitting match you would expect from these two, even though Flair was only doing signature stuff at this point. Regal always seemed like someone who might turn into a huge deal but he was happy to just be a cool midcarder who had almost unlimited respect.
Coach shows us how to vote in the Diva Search.
Lita hates her wedding dress and breaks her mirror.
The catfight is on for a bit until the minister gets things under control again. Cue Matt Hardy (with Lita doing a perfect damsel in distress smile) for the save from behind, only to have a wall of fire cut off the escape. A chokeslam off the stage and through a table destroys Matt. Lita is dragged back to the ring for the I Do and the forced kiss ends the show.
