Kane makes a decision
Mick Foley showed up on RAW even though he said that he would go back to his
"normal life" after Bad Blood. The Hardcore Legend had a lot on his mind, but he
was unable to unload it all before Evolution came to the ring and interrupted
him. Randy Orton told Foley he was washed up and should stay out of WWE. Orton
then went on to reveal that Evolution was going to extend an invitation to a WWE
Superstar to join their group. Before long, all three members attacked Foley.
Just when it looked like Evolution had Foley's number, however, Maven and Al
Snow came to the ring and saved their buddy.
Later in the evening, fans learned that the Superstar Evolution had their eye on
was Kane. After Kane got his team disqualified in the night's main event, the
big red monster went on a killer rampage. Triple H came to the ring to tell Kane
that it was good to see the old Kane back. He told him that he was impressed
with his renewed mean streak. He then asked Kane to join Evolution. Before Kane
could answer the World Heavyweight Champion, Stone Cold Steve Austin hit the
ring and told Kane that he would give him a shot at Triple H's World Heavyweight
Championship next week if he turned down Triple H's offer. Eric Bischoff's music
then hit the arena. The Co-general Manager told Kane that if he were to accept
Stone Cold's offer and lose, he would have to remove his mask. After a short
deliberation, Kane chokeslammed Triple H, signifying the fact that he had chosen
to take the shot at the World Heavyweight Championship even though his mask was
on the line.
Rico returned to WWE on RAW. This time, he had Jackie Gayda by his side. In his
return match, Rico handily defeated Spike Dudley.
WWE rookie Garrison Cade battled Lance Storm in a one-on-one battle. Before the
match started, Stone Cold came to the top of the ramp with a pillow and a
blanket. Throughout the match, Stone Cold reminded Storm how boring he was and
that his personality and wrestling style puts him to sleep.
