The show opens with the usual fanfare, and a roaring crowd. The camera pans across the audience before settling on Jim Ross seated at ringside!!!!
Jim Ross: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Monday Night Raw! I’m Jim Ross, and folks, I’m as shocked as you are by what I’m about to say. Joining me tonight is a man who needs no introduction, the one and only Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan!"
The camera pans out to reveal Bobby Heenan sitting next to Jim Ross, grinning smugly.
Bobby Heenan: "That’s right, Ross! The Brain is back in the WWF, and I’m here to educate all you humanoids on what real wrestling is all about. It’s about time this show had some class!"
Jim Ross: "Well, Bobby, I have to admit, it’s surprising to see you back here. What brings you to Monday Night Raw?"
Bobby Heenan: "It’s simple, Ross. The WWF needed someone with brains, someone with a sharp wit, and someone who can call it like it is. And who better than me to bring that to Monday Night Raw? Plus, I’m here to keep you in line."
Jim Ross: "I’m sure we’re in for quite a night with you here, Bobby. Let’s get right to it and send it down to Stan Lane!"
The camera cuts to Stan Lane standing in the ring, microphone in hand.
Stan Lane: "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the WWF Champion, 'The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels!"
Shawn Michaels' music hits, and the crowd reacts with a mixture of cheers and boos. Michaels struts down the ramp with his trademark cockiness, WWF Championship belt shining around his waist. He climbs into the ring, takes a microphone from Lane, and soaks in the crowd's reaction.
Stan Lane: "Shawn, at SummerSlam, you're set to defend your WWF Championship against The Undertaker, a match with enormous implications. Yet, there's been talk, rumors that you might be... scared of The Undertaker."
Shawn Michaels: "Scared, Stan? HA! Everyone seems to think Shawn Michaels is scared of The Undertaker. But let me make one thing crystal clear—it's all strategy, baby! Mind games! The Heartbreak Kid doesn’t get scared.In fact, I’m so not scared that I dare The Undertaker to come down to this ring, right now!"
A tense moment passes, then The Undertaker’s gong hits, sending a chill through the audience as lights dim. The Undertaker makes his ominous entrance, slowly making his way to the ring with his eyes locked on Michaels.
Jim Ross: "Folks, this is electric! The Undertaker is answering Shawn Michaels' challenge right here, right now!"
Bobby Heenan: "Be careful what you wish for, Shawn!"
The Undertaker steps onto the apron and into the ring. Unlike previous encounters, Shawn doesn’t retreat. He smirks, goading The Undertaker.
Shawn Michaels: "What’s the matter, 'Taker? What’s taking you so long, you want some Dead Man?? I’m RIGHT HERE, COME GET SOME!!!"
As The Undertaker steps closer, ready to confront Michaels, a man in a tactical uniform and a mask suddenly rushes the ring, attacking The Undertaker from behind with a nightstick. The crowd erupts in shock as Shawn joins in, helping the masked man subdue The Undertaker.
Jim Ross: "My God, who is this man attacking The Undertaker?!"
The masked man handcuffs The Undertaker to the ring ropes. With The Undertaker restrained, Shawn gleefully helps the masked man remove his mask, revealing

THE BIG BOSSMAN!!!!!!!
Shawn Michaels: "Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce the new Head of Security, The Big Bossman! He’s here to ensure that MY justice is served in the WWF!"
Bossman proceeds to beat The Undertaker with the nightstick, while Shawn taunts him with the microphone. The Undertaker struggles, but the handcuffs hold him in place.
Shawn Michaels: "Look at you now, 'Taker! Not so tough, are you? This is what happens when you mess with the best. At SummerSlam, it's game over for you!"
Officials and security finally rush to the ring, trying to break up the assault. Shawn and Bossman reluctantly leave the ring, backing up the ramp as Shawn continues to shout insults.
Jim Ross: "This is absolutely reprehensible! Shawn Michaels and The Big Bossman have just brutalized The Undertaker!"
Bobby Heenan: "I can’t believe what we’ve just witnessed, Jim. This changes everything heading into SummerSlam and I love it! This is exactly what The Undertaker needed—a reality check. Kudos to Michaels and Bossman!"
Jim Ross: "Stay tuned. We've got a packed show tonight, and after what we've just seen, anything can happen!"
The camera pans the crowd before settling on the Brooklyn Brawler who is standing in the ring arguing with the fans!
Jim Ross: "Ladies and gentlemen, up next, we have the highly anticipated WWF debut of Konnan, a man who has achieved great success internationally and is now ready to make his mark right here in the World Wrestling Federation."
Bobby Heenan: "Yeah, yeah, another guy trying to make a name for himself. Let's see if he can actually do something against the Brooklyn Brawler. Don't forget, Ross, Brawler knows every dirty trick in the book."
Konnan's music hits, he comes out in a colorful mask, giving high fives to the fans along the way. Konnan takes the mask off and puts it on a kid at ringside
Jim Ross: "Just listen to this crowd, Bobby! They are excited to see what Konnan can do, and frankly, so am I."
Bobby Heenan: "Calm down, Ross. Don’t let his record fool you, Jim. The Brooklyn Brawler is a seasoned veteran who knows every trick in the book. He could give Konnan a real run for his money tonight."
THE BROOKLYN BRAWLER
KONNAN
The bell rings, and the match begins. Konnan starts off strong, displaying his agility and technical skills. He dodges an early attack from the Brawler and responds with a quick arm drag, followed by a crisp dropkick that sends the Brawler reeling.
Jim Ross: "What a start for Konnan! He’s showing off that lightning-quick offense that’s won him championships around the world."
Bobby Heenan: "Alright, I'll give him that. Nice moves, but let's see how he handles some real pressure."
Konnan keeps the pressure on, hitting the Brawler with a series of high-flying maneuvers. The Brawler tries to slow down the pace, catching Konnan with a few rough moves, but Konnan's speed and athleticism are too much for him.
Bobby Heenan: "Konnan is not letting up, Jim. He’s here to make an impression, and that’s exactly what he’s doing."
After a brief comeback attempt by the Brawler, Konnan takes control again with a powerful Tornado DDT. He then climbs to the top rope and signals to the crowd.
Jim Ross: "Looks like Konnan is setting up for something big here!"
Konnan flies off the top rope with a spectacular Frog Splash, landing perfectly on the Brooklyn Brawler. He hooks the leg for the pin and gets the three count for his first victory here in the World Wrestling Federation!!!!
Jim Ross: "And there you have it! Konnan wins his debut match in impressive fashion, defeating the Brooklyn Brawler in just three minutes."
Bobby Heenan: "What a debut, Jim! If tonight is any indication, Konnan is going to be a major force here in the WWF."
Konnan continues to celebrate in the ring, climbing the turnbuckles and raising his arms to the cheers of the crowd, while Jim Ross and Bobby Heenan recap the highlights of the match.
Jim Ross: "Folks, remember this name: Konnan. Something tells me he’s going to be a big star here in the WWF. Stay tuned for more action coming up next on Monday Night Raw!”
Jim Ross: “Welcome back to Monday Night Raw, Stan Lane is standing by with the WWF Champion Shawn Michaels and the man who just brutalized the Undertaker, The Big Bossman.”
The scene transitions to a backstage area where Stan Lane is standing by with Shawn Michaels and the Big Bossman. Shawn is sporting his WWF Championship over his shoulder, and Bossman stands menacingly beside him.
Stan Lane: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm here with the WWF Champion, Shawn Michaels, and his new head of security, the Big Bossman. Bossman, you've made a surprising return to the WWF, aligning yourself with Shawn Michaels. Fans are eager to know, why come back now, and why join forces with Shawn?"
Big Bossman: "Stan Lane, let me make it crystal clear. I was tossed to the side, forgotten by everyone here in the WWF. I found myself doing the bidding of a floozy in a two bit organization wrestling no bodies. Then my phone rang and it was Shawn Michaels. You see, Shawn Michaels saw the value in the Big Bossman. He brought me back, and now I owe everything to him. I'm here to do one thing and one thing only—watch Shawn's back. And as for The Undertaker, if he thinks he can lay a hand on Shawn, he's got another thing coming. I'll take him out myself if I have to."
Shawn Michaels: "That's right, Stan. You see, the Heartbreak Kid isn't just the main event; I'm the whole damn show. And having Bossman here, that’s just smart business. The Undertaker has been a thorn in my side for too long, and with Bossman, we're gonna cut that thorn out."
Suddenly, WWF President Bob Backlund appears in the shot, visibly irate and interrupting the interview.
Bob Backlund: "Enough! I've heard enough of this. You think you can just run roughshod over the entire WWF, Shawn? Not on my watch. And Bossman, since you’re so eager to get involved, I’m putting you in the ring. Tonight’s main event: Big Bossman vs. The Undertaker!"
Shawn Michaels: "What? Bob, you can’t do that—"
Bob Backlund: "Oh, I can, and I did. It’s happening tonight. And we’ll see just how tough you two really are when the Bossman faces The Undertaker one-on-one."
Backlund storms off, leaving Shawn and Bossman to process the sudden announcement.
Stan Lane: "Well, there you have it. Big Bossman will go one-on-one with The Undertaker tonight in our main event."
Shawn Michaels: "Listen, Stan. The Undertaker’s in for the biggest beatdown of his career. Bossman here isn’t just any ordinary enforcement; he’s the best in the business. And tonight, he’s going to eliminate The Undertaker once and for all. Right, Bossman?"
Big Bossman: "Undertaker, get ready to serve hard time."
Stan Lane: "It’s going to be one for the history books, folks. Stay tuned. Back to you, Jim and Bobby."
The camera cuts away, heading back to ringside with Ross and Heenan.
Jim Ross: "My goodness, Bobby, what a development! Big Bossman versus The Undertaker tonight. You picked a helluva night to return to the WWF Brain!!"
Bobby Heenan: "Ross, it’s going to be explosive. Bossman isn’t coming just to wrestle; he’s coming to fight. And when you put him in the ring with someone like The Undertaker, you better believe sparks are going to fly."
Jim Ross: "Ladies and gentlemen, that’s our main event but now, hold onto your seats! The 1-2-3 Kid squares off against 2 Cold Scorpio tonight. Both competitors are known for their aerial assaults and quick-paced style, promising us an explosive encounter."
Bobby Heenan: "And Ross, both these men are looking to climb the ranks here in the WWF. A win tonight could be a huge step towards a title opportunity."
The theme of 1-2-3 Kid fills the arena, and he bursts onto the stage, slapping hands with fans as he sprints down the ramp and slides into the ring. His energy is palpable, and the crowd cheers him on.
Jim Ross: "The Kid's got the crowd behind him tonight. The Kid may not be the biggest wrestler in the WWF but he damn sure has the biggest heart!!! And the fans love him for it"
Bobby Heenan: "Yeah, yeah, the Toothpick Kid is popular. Let’s see if that helps him when Scorpio starts flying around the ring."
The music switches to the theme of 2 Cold Scorpio. He walks out with a confident strut, he jumps in the ring and performs a few dance moves before flipping The Kid off!!!!
Bobby Heenan: "HA-HA-HA-HA!!! Scorpio just told the Kid what he thinks of him. Look at Scorpio Ross. Here’s a man who embodies cool. Scorpio's in-ring ability is as smooth as his dance moves. He reminds me of me!!!”
1-2-3 Kid
2 Cold Scorpio
Both wrestlers circle, feeling each other out. They engage in a quick chain wrestling sequence, demonstrating their technical prowess with arm drags, reversals, and a test of strength that Kid surprisingly wins, pushing Scorpio to the corner.
Jim Ross: "Nice show of strength from the Kid. He’s out to prove he can match Scorpio move for move."
Scorpio uses his veteran savvy to turn the tide, utilizing a sudden Irish whip and a high leapfrog followed by a devastating dropkick that sends Kid to the mat. He quickly capitalizes with a standing moonsault but only gets a two-count.
Bobby Heenan: "Scorpio showing why he’s one of the best high-flyers. The Kid’s in trouble now."
The match speeds up as Kid finds his rhythm, dodging a second dropkick and hitting Scorpio with a quick series of martial arts kicks that stagger Scorpio back. Kid then hits the ropes and delivers a flying crossbody, getting a near fall.
Jim Ross: "The Kid’s aerial offense is second to none, Bobby. He’s keeping Scorpio off-balance."
Scorpio rolls outside, trying to slow the pace, but Kid is relentless, diving through the ropes with a suicide dive that lands perfectly, sending both men crashing to the outside. The crowd is on its feet as Kid rolls Scorpio back in and climbs the top rope.
Jim Ross: "High risk maneuver coming up from the 1-2-3 Kid!"
Kid launches for a missile dropkick, but Scorpio dodges at the last second. Kid crashes hard, and Scorpio seizes the moment, hitting a leg drop followed by a quick pin attempt. Kid barely kicks out at two.
Bobby Heenan: "What a counter by Scorpio! This is anyone’s match, Ross."
As the clock winds down, Scorpio looks to finish the match. He lifts Kid for a Powerbomb but Kid counters mid-air, turning it into a hurricanrana pin combination for a close two count. Both men are exhausted but determined.
Jim Ross: "What a counter by the Kid! That was almost it, Bobby."
In the final minute, Scorpio and Kid exchange pin attempts and reversals. Scorpio manages to execute a spinning heel kick that knocks Kid flat. He quickly glances at the timer, climbs the turnbuckle, and signals for the end.
Jim Ross: "Scorpio’s going up top. If he hits this, it's all over!"
Scorpio leaps for his signature move, but Kid rolls away. Scorpio lands on his feet but staggers from the impact. Kid uses the opportunity to hit a spinning roundhouse kick. As he goes for the cover, the bell rings signaling a time limit draw!!!
WINNER: TIME LIMIT DRAW
Scorpio quickly rolls out of the ring. Kid protests to the referee, asking for 5 more minutes , but Scorpio is already heading up the ramp.
Jim Ross: "Scorpio is taking a powder, he is refusing to get back in the ring with The 1-2-3 Kid!”
Bobby Heenan: "Hey, why should he, Ross? There is no money in it, why fight for free? Scorpio is just smart."
As Scorpio exits with a grin, Kid remains in the ring, frustrated but receiving applause from the audience for his valiant effort.
Jim Ross: "Ladies and gentlemen, stay tuned. Despite Scorpio turning tail, it was an incredible match. More action coming up next on Monday Night Raw."
Stan Lane is standing in the middle of the ring, microphone in hand!!!
Stan Lane: "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guests at this time—Owen Hart, Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhardt, and the British Bulldog.
The music hit and the trio emerge from the locker room. They climb in the ring and surround Stan Lane.
Stan Lane; “Gentlemen, there's been a lot of controversy surrounding your actions lately, especially with Bulldog's shocking betrayal of Diesel and Owen's upcoming match against his own brother, Bret, at SummerSlam."
Owen Hart: "Stan, first things first, let's set the record straight. What you call betrayal, I call enlightenment. Bulldog did what he had to do. And as for Bret, at SummerSlam, I'm going to prove once and for all who the real champion of the Hart family is. And that’s why we are here together, forming a new force in the WWF. We are the Blackharts, the true Harts of professional wrestling!"
Jim Neidhardt: " HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAThat's right! The Blackharts aren't just a team; we're a family. We watch each other's backs, and together, we're unstoppable."
British Bulldog: "And as for Diesel, what happened was a long time coming. He was nothing more than a stepping stone. At SummerSlam, I finish what I started, and there's nothing he or anyone else can do about it."
Suddenly, Diesel’s music hits, and he storms out to the stage, visibly furious. He’s held back by officials as he tries to make his way to the ring.
Jim Ross: "Here comes Diesel, and he looks ready to explode!"
Security quickly fills the ring to prevent Diesel from getting inside, forming a barrier between him and the Blackharts. Diesel grabs a microphone from one of the officials.
Diesel: "Owen, Bulldog, Anvil, you three think you’re tough, hiding behind each other like cowards. At SummerSlam, Bulldog, you and I are going to settle this, and I’m going to dismantle you piece by piece. But I can’t wait until SummerSlam. How about next week, right here on Raw, you three against me and any two superstars I choose!"
Owen Hart: "Diesel, you want a match next week? You got it! It doesn’t matter who you bring. The Blackharts reign supreme, and we'll prove it again by taking you and any partners you can scrounge up down a notch. We accept!"
Stan Lane: "There you have it, folks! A huge six-man tag team match set for next week on Raw. Diesel and his partners against the Blackharts!"
Diesel nods, as security continues to hold him back. Owen, Neidhardt, and Bulldog stand united in the ring, smirking at Diesel's frustration.
Jim Ross: "Folks, tensions are at an all-time high! Next week’s Raw is going to be explosive with that six-man tag match. Diesel has a huge challenge ahead, not just physically but also finding partners who can stand up to the cohesive unit of the Blackharts."
Bobby Heenan: "Indeed, Ross. The landscape of the WWF is changing, and the Blackharts look like they could be at the forefront of that change. Diesel has his work cut out for him."
Jim Ross: “Indeed, another man who looks to change the landscape of the WWF is the mysterious Widowmaker, and he is making his way to Summerslam!!!”
The scene opens with a dimly lit, deserted stretch of highway. The camera slowly pans across the empty road, capturing the eerie stillness of the night. The only sound is the distant howl of the wind as it sweeps across the barren landscape. In the distance, headlights pierce through the darkness, growing closer as the rumble of an engine becomes audible. The vehicle is an old, weathered black step side pick up truck, its paint chipped and faded from years of use. It rolls to a slow stop on the side of the road, the engine idling as the camera moves in closer.
The driver’s side door creaks open, but the figure inside remains hidden in shadow. The camera lingers on a pair of well-worn cowboy boots stepping out onto the gravel. Dust kicks up around them as the boots plant firmly on the ground. The figure’s black gloved hand reaches back inside the truck, grabbing a wide-brimmed black hat, the brim frayed and worn. The hat is slowly placed atop the head, the shadowy face still concealed from view.
A low, ominous voiceover begins to speak, its tone gravelly and measured.
Voiceover: There’s a chill in the air, one that whispers of a reckoning. Somewhere down this lonesome road, danger lurks—a shadow that’s always watching, always waiting. They call him The Widowmaker.
The camera follows the figure as he walks around to the back of the truck. He stops, standing motionless for a moment, then reaches into the bed of the truck and pulls out a length of thick, coiled rope. The rope is weathered, like it’s seen its share of use. He tosses it over his shoulder.
Voiceover: He’s a man who knows no fear, a man who’s left a trail of broken bodies and shattered dreams in his wake. Wherever he goes, trouble isn’t far behind. But this time, the road has brought him to the World Wrestling Federation. And there, he’ll carve out a path of destruction like none have ever seen.
The camera moves to the front of the truck, focusing on the rusted grille and the flickering headlights. The truck’s license plate, barely readable, is covered in dirt, save for one word scrawled in the dust: "Widowmaker." The camera pulls back to reveal the figure standing in front of the truck, still obscured in shadow, his face hidden beneath the brim of his hat. He slowly raises his head, just enough for the brim to lift slightly, though his face remains unseen.
Voiceover: The Widowmaker doesn’t come to fight. He comes to dominate. He comes to end careers. In the WWF, the winds are shifting. There’s a storm on the horizon, and when it hits… there’ll be nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. The Widowmaker is coming… and no one is safe.
The camera lingers on the figure for a moment longer before the screen abruptly cuts to black. The only sound is the fading rumble of thunder in the distance as the words "THE WIDOWMAKER" appear on the screen in bold, weathered letters. A moment later, those words disappear into the darkness, leaving only silence. The scene then shifts to ringside with Jim Ross and Bobby Heenan.
Jim Ross: “The Widowmaker is coming to the World Wrestling Federation, and I have a feeling he is going to be a force to be reckoned with.”
Bobby Heenan: “The Widowmaker seems to be the kind of man you don’t want to mess with Ross.”
Jim Ross: "Ladies and gentlemen, up next we've got Razor Ramon taking on the seasoned veteran, Greg 'The Hammer' Valentine. This one promises to be a gritty match-up."
Bobby Heenan: "Absolutely, Ross. The Hammer is known for his methodical pace and painful Figure-Four Leglock, but he's up against the bad guy, Razor Ramon, who's been on a roll lately."
Razor Ramon's music hits, and he oozes machismo as he strides down to the ring, flicking his toothpick into the crowd. Greg Valentine is already in the ring.. Razor is noticeably bandaged up, his face showing the aftermath of last week's fireball attack by Cactus Jack.
Razor Ramon
Greg "The Hammer" Valentine
The bell rings, and Valentine immediately goes after Razor’s legs, trying to chop him down and set up for his Figure-Four. Razor uses his agility to keep distance, landing sharp jabs and a quick arm drag to take control.
Jim Ross: "Razor Ramon starting strong here, using his speed advantage over Valentine."
Bobby Heenan: "Let's see how long he can keep it up with that bandaged face, Ross. Valentine knows how to exploit any weakness."
Razor continues to dominate with a flurry of punches and a big fallaway slam. As he poses for the crowd, Ross tells us that Bret Hart is on the phone!!!
Bret Hart: "I’ve been watching at home, nursing this knee, but I can’t stand it anymore. I’ll be there next week in the Manhattan Center to stand with Diesel against the Blackharts. What Bulldog did... it’s a disgrace to our family."
Jim Ross: "Folks, that was Bret Hart, and it sounds like he's coming to even the odds!"
Back in the ring, Valentine catches Razor off-guard with a belly-to-back suplex, gaining a near fall. However, Razor quickly recovers, dodging a subsequent elbow drop and hitting Valentine with a decisive Razor's Edge.
Jim Ross: "Razor’s Edge! That has to be it!"
Winner: Razor Ramon
As Razor Ramon's hand is raised, he pulls away and Razor asks for a microphone.
Razor Ramon: "Hey yo, Cactus Jack! You think you can take me out with a fireball, chico? You think you can scar the Bad Guy and get away with it? Nah, man. I’m still standing. At SummerSlam, it’s you and me in a New York Street Fight, and I’m gonna carve you up real nice. But we ain't got to wait till then, mang. Why don’t you come out here and go one-on-one with The Bad Guy!!!!!"
Suddenly, Cactus Jack's music hits, and he storms down to the ring with a wild look in his eyes. Razor readies himself for a fight, but WWF President Bob Backlund quickly intervenes with security in tow.
Bob Backlund: "Enough! This lawlessness ends now. Razor, Cactus, if either of you engage in physicality before your match at SummerSlam, you will be suspended indefinitely!"
Cactus Jack stops at the edge of the ring, seething. As Ramon yells at Cactus to get in the ring. Security surrounding both men.
Jim Ross: "Tensions are at a boiling point, folks. Razor Ramon and Cactus Jack are set for a colossal clash at SummerSlam, and with Bret Hart returning next week, the landscape of the WWF is heating up!"
Bobby Heenan: "It's going to be an explosive SummerSlam, Jim. You won't want to miss it!"
Jim Ross: “Fans, don’t go anywhere, we will be right back with the World Tag Team Title Tournament Finals! You don't want to miss it!!!!”
The segment ends with Razor standing tall in the ring, while security ensures Cactus Jack exits the arena. The camera fades out on a determined Razor Ramon, ready for whatever comes next.
We return from commercial to a backstage area where Diesel is seen hanging up a payphone, a smirk on his face. He turns to find Stan Lane approaching with a microphone in hand, ready for an impromptu interview.
Stan Lane "Diesel, I saw you on the phone just now and I have to ask—there's been a lot of speculation about who you and Bret Hart will be teaming with next week against the Blackharts. Can you give us any details? Who were you talking to?"
Diesel: (with a confident grin) "Stan, next week, me and Bret, we're gonna even the odds against those Blackharts. And yeah, I was just on the phone locking down our third man. As for who it is—let's just say, nobody’s gonna see it coming."
Stan Lane: "Can you give us a hint?
Diesel: "A hint, huh? Well, I ain’t one to spoil a surprise, Stan Lane. But I'll tell you this—it’s gonna be the perfect surprise. Those Blackharts think they’ve got the upper hand, but they have no idea what’s waiting for them."
Stan Lane: "The perfect surprise? That's quite a statement. There you have it, folks. Diesel promises a major surprise next week as he, Bret Hart, and a mystery partner take on the Blackharts.. Back to you, Jim and Bobby."
The camera fades out, returning to the commentators as they discuss the implications of Diesel’s cryptic announcement and what this might mean for the ongoing power struggle within the WWF.
Jim Ross: "Ladies and gentlemen, the moment has arrived. Tonight, the vacant WWF Tag Team Titles will find a new home as The Hollywood Blondes, Steve Austin and Brian Pillman, accompanied by Marlena, face off against the popular duo of The Smoking Gunns, Billy and Bart Gunn."
Bobby Heenan: "Both teams are top-tier, Ross. The Blondes have that cunning and ruthless aggression, while the Gunns bring undeniable chemistry and fan support. This is going to be a classic."
The Smoking Gunns music hits and the brothers make their way to the ring, slapping hands all the way down the aisle and around the ring.
Jim Ross:”Here come Billy and Bart, The Smoking Gunns, these two have been on a roll, Brain.”
Bobby Heenan: “Yeah, a roll down the hill. These two cowboy yokels don’t have a chance against the Hollywood Blondes!”
The Hollywood Blondes are out next, led by their manager Marlena. They pantomime using an old movie camera as they make their way to the ring, grinning like jackals.
Jim Ross: “Marlena leading The Hollywood Blondes to the ring, they look ready.”
Bobby Heenan: “You are looking at the next WWF Tag Team Champions Ross, mark my words!”
Special referee Jerry Brisco shows the World Tag Title belts to both teams, the Hollywood Blondes snatch the belts from him and hold them in the air.
Jim Ross: “Jerry Brisco and his brother Jack were one of the most decorated teams in wrestling history, he is a fitting choice to referee this match!”
The Blondes drop the belts and go belly to belly, nose to nose with the Smoking Gunns. The two teams are jaw jacking in the middle of the ring, Austin throws the first punch and all four men are brawling!!!! The Gunns clear the ring of the Blondes!!!! Marlena and her boys regroup on the floor as Brisco calls for the bell!!!
WWF Tag Team Championship Match:
The Hollywood Blondes with Marlena
The Smoking Gunns
The match starts with Brian Pillman and Billy Gunn in the ring. They circle each other, engaging in a quick-paced technical exchange. Pillman tries an early arm drag, but Billy counters and returns with a dropkick that sends Pillman to his corner. Steve Austin tags in.
Jim Ross: "Quick tags here. Both teams showing why they are among the elite in the tag team division."
Bobby Heenan: "Yeah, yeah, just wait until Austin gets his hands on Billy. This is going to get good."
Austin brings a more physical style, using his strength to push Billy to the corner and deliver a series of punishing chops. Billy battles out with a flurry of his own punches and tags in Bart, who uses his power to take Austin down with a shoulder block followed by a scoop slam.
As Bart maintains control, he attempts a leg drop, but Austin rolls out of the way and tags in Pillman. The Blondes use quick tags to isolate Bart, cutting the ring in half. Pillman and Austin showcase their teamwork with a double suplex. Marlena cheers them on from ringside, applauding their strategy.
Bobby Heenan: "See, that's the edge the Blondes have. They're using classic tag team isolation tactics."
Jim Ross: "The Gunns need to find a way to turn this around, Bobby."
Bart desperately fights back, landing a desperate clothesline on Pillman. He crawls toward his corner and makes the hot tag to Billy, who comes in like a house on fire, knocking down both Blondes with dropkicks and a flying forearm that gets a near fall on Pillman.
Jim Ross: "Billy Gunn is turning the tide! This crowd is on their feet!"
Bobby Heenan: "Enjoy it while it lasts, Ross. The Blondes always have a plan."
The match breaks down as all four men end up in the ring. The Gunns take control, hitting Austin with their signature Sidewinder. Bart covers Austin, but Pillman breaks the count at the last moment. The referee struggles to restore order as Billy chases Pillman outside the ring.
Jim Ross: "Pandemonium here! The referee is losing control of this match!"
Bobby Heenan: "Just the way I like it, Ross. Chaos is where champions are made."
Inside the ring, Austin and Bart exchange hard blows. Marlena climbs onto the apron, catching Bart's attention and distracting him. The referee is occupied with Billy and Pillman on the outside.
Bobby Heenan: "Marlena doing what she does best, Ross. She's a game-changer without a doubt."
While Bart is distracted, Austin seizes the opportunity. He delivers a Stun Gun, a move he’s been perfecting. Pillman scrambles back into the ring, pushing Austin onto Bart for the cover as Marlena steps down, the referee turns around and makes the count. The Hollywood Blondes are the new WWF Tag Team Champions!!!!!
Winners: AND NEW WWF TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS The Hollywood Blondes
The bell rings, and the crowd boos as The Hollywood Blondes are handed the WWF Tag Team Championship belts. Marlena joins them in the ring, raising their hands as they celebrate their victory.
Jim Ross: "And there you have it, the cunning and the guile of the Hollywood Blondes, with a little help from Marlena, have earned them the Tag Team Titles tonight. What a match!"
Bobby Heenan: "You've got to hand it to them, Ross. They used every tool at their disposal, and now they're walking out as champions. The Smoking Gunns gave it their all, but tonight, it just wasn't enough."
As The Hollywood Blondes celebrate in the ring, The Smoking Gunns regroup and attack, they clear the ring of the Blondes.
Jim Ross: “The Smoking Gunns are fired up!!!”
Bobby Heenan: “Fat lot of good that will do them, they already lost the match!!! Sore losers, that’s what they are!!”
Jim Ross: “Fans, don’t go anywhere, when we return, The Undertaker takes on The Big Bossman!!!!”
The scene closes with Austin and Pillman holding up their new titles at the entrance way while The Smoking Gunns are challenging them to get back in the ring!!!!
We return from a commercial break to find WWF World Heavyweight Champion “The Heartbreak Kid” Shawn Michaels in the ring and giving last minute instructions to The Big Bossman when the lights go out!!!!
Jim Ross: “Business is about to pick up!!!!”
The familiar gong of the Undertaker hits and a chill sweeps over the crowd as The Undertaker makes his slow, methodical entrance.
Jim Ross: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are in for a monumental encounter tonight. The Undertaker, a man who embodies the very essence of the WWF, is set to go one-on-one with The Big Bossman, and with Shawn Michaels at ringside, you can bet this won’t just be any ordinary match."
Bobby Heenan: "That's right, Ross. The Bossman has already made a statement tonight by beating down the Dead Man and with the Heartbreak Kid in his corner tonight, the odds are stacked against The Undertaker."
The Big Bossman with Shawn Michaels
The Undertaker
The bell rings, and Bossman starts aggressively, using his brawling skills to try and overpower The Undertaker. He throws heavy punches, but Undertaker absorbs them and responds with his grim, methodical style, landing heavy blows that rock Bossman back on his heels.
Jim Ross: "The Undertaker is not just a striking figure; his strikes are just as potent. Bossman is learning that the hard way."
Bobby Heenan: "This guy is something else, Ross. He’s not human!"
The Undertaker, now visibly agitated, turns his attention briefly to Michaels, allowing Bossman to grab him for a Sidewalk Slam. Bossman covers, but The Undertaker kicks out at two. Bossman argues with the referee, giving Michaels another chance to interfere, this time attempting to trip The Undertaker as he gets up.
As the match progresses, The Undertaker begins to dominate, hitting Bossman with a sequence of moves that culminates in a thunderous Chokeslam. Just as he slams Bossman to the mat, Shawn Michaels unexpectedly slides into the ring and delivers a sharp Superkick to The Undertaker’s chin. Forcing the referee to call for the bell and DQ The Bossman
Winner: The Undertaker via DQ
Jim Ross: "Sweet Chin Music out of nowhere! But wait—The Undertaker... he’s not down!"
To everyone's shock, The Undertaker barely flinches from the Superkick. He slowly turns his head towards Shawn, his eyes burning with a supernatural fire, much to the horror of Michaels and the delight of the crowd.
Bobby Heenan: "You better run Shawn, get out of there!!!!!"
Shawn, in a panic, attempts a second Superkick. This time, The Undertaker catches his foot and rises to his full height, grabbing Shawn by the throat, signaling for a Chokeslam. Before he can execute it, Bossman strikes Undertaker in the back with a chair.
Bobby Heenan: "This has descended into chaos, Ross! The Undertaker barely flinched!!!"
Undeterred by the bell, Bossman bashes the chair over the Undertaker’s head!!! This time the Undertaker goes down!!!! Shawn takes the chair from Bossman and, with a brutal swing, cracks it over The Undertaker's head again, busting him open. The Undertaker collapses to the mat, his face covered in a crimson mask. Shawn and Bossman, looking both triumphant and relieved, pose over the fallen Undertaker as officials rush to the ring.
Jim Ross: "By God, they have split his skull in half!!!! They have busted the Undertaker wide open!!! This is despicable! The Undertaker was about to put away Shawn Michaels, and it took a chair shot to stop him! These men have gone too far!"
Raw goes off the air with a final image of Shawn Michaels and The Big Bossman standing tall in the ring, while Undertaker suddenly sits up and turns his head toward Bossman and HBK!!!!
Bobby Heenan: "The Undertaker has sat up!!! Run, Shawn, Run!!!! The wrath of The Undertaker is something no man should look forward to."
Jim Ross: "Folks, we are out of time, The Undertaker is getting to his feet…….."
The last shot is Undertaker, bloody and bruised, standing up behind the dancing Shawn Michaels!!!!!! As we hear Heenan yell at Shawn and Bossman to turn around the screen fades to black and the WWF logo flashes.
