Night Raw
Date: November 4, 2002
Location: FleetCenter, Boston, Massachusetts
Commentators: Jim Ross, Jerry Lawler
Opening sequence.
Shawn Michaels arrives and is given a new shirt.
3 Minute Warning vs. Bubba Ray Dudley/Jeff Hardy
Victoria and Trish get in a fight on the stage.
….random camera crews all over the building.
Bischoff yells at the production guy who put a hidden camera in his office. My goodness they actually covered a plot hole. HHH and Ric Flair come in and want to know what Bischoff is going to do about Shawn. Before that can be explained, HHH wants to know why Bischoff has been treating him so badly since the rosters have been frozen (save for trades and Batista popping up of course). Apologetic sucking up ensues so Flair shows Eric the kiss tape again. HHH: “So I put on a mask to screw with Kane and you put on a mask to make out with my ex-wife?” Thankfully we cut away before that can go any further.
William Regal/Lance Storm vs. Tommy Dreamer/Al Snow
Shawn, in his new shirt, drinks coffee and looks for HHH.
Stacy Keibler tells Test about the success of the Testicles marketing plan but now he needs a haircut.
Dave Batista vs. Justin Credible
Two tosses, a Regal roll, a clothesline that obviously misses and the sitout powerbomb to the only reaction of the match for the pin on Justin.
HHH is tired of waiting on Shawn and goes to the ring to call him out.
Test vs. Hurricane
Video on the Elimination Chamber, which is basically just blueprints of the design without telling us much else.
F-View shows HHH telling Jericho to watch out for Shawn in the tag match. Not that it matters of course because Flair will be at ringside. The villains leave and Shawn is shown watching/listening in.
Christian vs. Rob Van Dam
Back in and we hit the chinlock for a bit as the announcers talk about Shawn. Van Dam fights up and hits his step over kick, followed by another spinning kick. A monkey flip into an awkward looking splash gives Rob two and a high crossbody gets the same. Rolling Thunder hits feet though (with Christian having to stretch his legs out for Rob to hit those) and Christian grabs a chair. Unfortunately so does the referee, allowing Rob to sweep the leg. The middle rope kick to the chest sets up the Five Star for the pin.
HHH/Chris Jericho vs. Kane/Booker T.
Shawn agrees to enter the Chamber to end the show.
