Raw is War

Boston, Massachusetts
November 4, 2002

Shawn Michaels had a message for both Eric Bischoff and Triple H Monday night during his first appearance in Boston since WrestleMania XIV. When the first-ever Elimination Chamber Match kicks off at Survivor Series, the Showstopper will be ready to challenge for the World Heavyweight Championship!

Triple H and Ric Flair spent the day looking over their shoulders, walking around backstage at the FleetCenter in fear of a Shawn Michaels sneak attack. Triple H even took out some of his frustrations on Bischoff, saying he hasn't liked how the General Manager has treated him lately. He particularly took issue with Bischoff putting the moves on his ex-wife last week on SmackDown!, and he let The Bisch know it!

HBK waited until the final match of the evening to deliver some Sweet Chin Music to The Game and help Booker T and Kane pull out a wni over the champion and Chris Jericho! 

Christopher Nowinski thought he was the only Tough Enough alumnus on RAW these days, but Maven surprised the Harvard graduate in the ring! The first Tough Enough Champion made his first appearance since breaking his leg months ago on SmackDown! Is Maven on RAW to stay or was this a one-shot deal? Tune in to RAW next week for the answer!

In other action, the 3-Minute Warning tandem of Rosey and Jamal slipped past Jeff Hardy and Bubba Ray Dudley, and Trish Stratus spoiled Ivory's RAW debut. Trish has her work cut out for her at Survivor Series, where she'll take on Victoria in a Hardcore Match!

Dave Batista had an amazing first outing on RAW, demolishing Justin Credible in brutal fashion. Plus, Stacy Keibler convinced Test to cut off his long hair by promising that doing so would make his "Testicles" grow! Also, Randy Orton gave an update on his condition. The young Superstar has regained even more movement in his injured shoulder.

Speculation has swirled around just what the Elimination Chamber could be. RAW provided a glimpse of the contraption. It's not quite a steel cage. It's not quite Hell in a Cell. It is definitely, however, innovative. What will happen when the World Heavyweight Championship goes on the line inside its walls? Find out on Nov. 17 at Survivor Series!
