Steel Cage Chaos: WWE RAW Results, 10-2-06

The following report is courtesy of wrestleview.com ...

DX’s music hit and Triple H and Shawn Michaels came out to the ring. Triple H shushed the crowd momentarily. He said he was serious, he had a question that needed answering. He asked the fans “are you ready”? He said a picture was worth a thousand words and showed a picture of Mr. McMahon’s head stuffed in Big Show’s backside. They did the “suck it” routine before HBK took the mic and was interrupted by Coach.

He ordered both of them to compete right here, right now in a Texas Tornado match against six other opponents. Cade & Murdoch were one team, The Highlanders were another, and the last was Viscera and Charlie Haas.

Texas Tornado Tag Match: DX v. Cade & Murdoch v. The Highlanders v. Charlie Haas & Viscera
- Visc and Haas double-teamed Triple H, missing a coordinated splash attempt. Cade turned Rory inside out with a big stiff lariat. Eventually, DX and Viscera ended up alone in the ring. DX hit a nice double DDT before t-ing up Charlie Haas with a big spine buster and an HBK elbow. Michaels hit sweet chin music and as Haas bobbled back, Triple H hit the boot to the gut and the pedigree for the win.
Winners: DX via pin fall

Coach came out and told the folks to stop the music. He said he ran the show and he ran Monday night. Triple H asked if he could throw his ass off the ramp and then he and Michaels would run the show. DX chased Coach to the back as we went to commercial.

WWE Intercontinental Championship: Johnny Nitro v. Jeff Hardy
- Nitro started off with a kick to the gut and a hard uppercut to the face of Hardy. Nitro kicked Hardy off his feet before whipping him into the ropes and getting caught with a neck breaker. Hardy hit a leg drop to the groin before following up with a hurricanranna out of the corner.

The action went back and forth when Nitro scooted out to the ring apron, but Hardy caught him and tossed him back in the ring. He springboarded off the top rope and got a unique roll up that got a two count. Hardy connected next with a whisper in the wind which got him an even closer two count.

Nitro split to the outside and as Melina tended to him, Hardy came off the top rope and planted Nitro into the mat. Hardy quickly pressed his advantage, looking to hit his red cross off the guardrail, but Nitro avoided it.

They both ended up on the top rope. Nitro attempted a flip power bomb, but Hardy threw him off. The challenger immediately took advantage hitting the Swanton bomb on Nitro and gaining the pinfall for the victory and the Intercontinental Championship.
Winner and NEW WWE Intercontinental Champion: Jeff Hardy

Coach was on the phone with Vince McMahon. He said there wasn’t any way he could possibly run WWE RAW like him and that he couldn’t even get out of his locker room. Coach said something then hung up before peaking outside to see if the coast was clear. He crept around the back cautiously before stopping and staring with eyes wide open at Triple H who was there with his arms crossed. He turned the other way and saw HBK staring at him smiling. They played some cheesy okay coral music before sprinting into the women’s locker room. DX decided to go in and asked where Coach went. Triple H tried to talk to the WWE Divas, but Shawn tracked him down and made him come along.

The Spirit Squad was in the back. Triple H and HBK popped in and said that due to the unexpected departure of Coach, they were running things tonight. HBK said there was a new dress code in effect and that they’d have to change their dress for their upcoming match. The Squad refused at first but when Triple H whipped out the sledgehammer, they complied pretty quickly. They asked what the new outfits looked like before we came out to the arena.

Umaga v. Snitsky
- Snitsky came right at Umaga with some big right hands. Snitsky came flying off the ropes and hit a shoulder block before getting nailed with a huge elevated Samoan Drop. Umaga hit his running bump-butt before hitting the Samoan spike on Snitsky for the victory.
Winner: Umaga via pin fall

Todd Grisham was in the back with Randy Orton. Orton said he was sick and tired of Carlito running around worrying about what was cool and what wasn’t cool. Orton said he knew what cool was and that was already beating Carlito at Unforgiven and was also three simple letters: R-K-O.
Carlito v. Randy Orton
- Orton gloated for a little while after an opening attack, but got caught in a standing hurricanranna. Orton quickly regained his bearings however, snapping Carlito back down to the canvas and cinching in a key lock.

Carlito eventually fought out of the hold and the two traded blows in the middle of the ring before Carlito hit his springboard reverse elbow. Carlito hit a nasty looking lariat and nearly got a three count. Carlito hit a springboard senton and immediately followed up with a springboard moonsault that almost bought him a three count.

Orton grabbed onto his head desperately and managed to plant Carlito on the ring apron. He caught Carlito coming in and used his momentum against him to reverse the cross body attempt. Orton grabbed the tights and gained the victory.
Winner: Randy Orton via pin fall

The Spirit Squad came to the ring in green and orange cheerleader outfits with super mini skirts.

Nicky v. Sgt. Slaughter
- Slaughter reversed a hold and went for the cobra clutch, but Nicky countered that hold and hit something, even the commentators didn’t know what on earth to even call it. Nicky cinched in a stretch before Triple H popped up on the screen and flashed Nicky’s missing thong. It distracted Nicky long enough to allow Slaughter to roll him up for the win.
Winner: Sgt. Slaughter via pin fall

Women’s Championship Tournament (1st Round Match, in lingerie): Mickie James v. Victoria
- Victoria cinched in an arm bar but James monkey flipped her way out of the hold. Victoria planted James with a knee before going for a cover that only got a one count. Victoria hit some shoulder thrusts in the corner before hitting James with a series of forearms to her back. James fought back with some boots to the gut. Mickie took out Victoria’s legs from under her and pounded away at her on the mat. Mickie hit a vicious lariat and planted Victoria’s face into the canvas.

James went for a hurrican ranna but Victoria caught her and nearly power bombed her. James went for the move again but Victoria again caught her and turned it into a Boston crab. James fought out of the hold and despite being tossed out of the ring, hot shotted up to the top rope and went for a flip power bomb but botched the move. Victoria sat out on a roll up attempt and grabbed the ropes, but it was caught by the referee. Victoria took her hands off the ropes just in time to get rolled up herself for the pin fall.
Winner: Mickie James via pin fall

Eric Bischoff was in the back with Chris Masters who had some questions. DX came in and plugged his book. Bischoff told them he felt that DX was a blatant rip off of the NWO. After burying Chris Masters, HBK wondered if they really were a rip off. Triple H said he who laughs last, laughs loudest. The two laughed with each other to end the segment.

WWE Championship (Steel Cage Match): John Cena v. Edge
- The two circled up and locked horns in the middle of the ring. Edge went right after the arm, trying unsuccessfully to clamp on an arm bar. Both tried to send each other into the steel and both failed. Cena eventually gained the advantage with an Irish whip and a suplex. Cena got a one count on the cover.

Edge immediately went to the injured arm, but Cena again fought back and went for the FU, but Edge countered out into a DDT. Edge clamped in a fujiwara arm bar on Cena, looking for the submission.

The champ fought out, though, before being knocked down and Edge slowly began his assent of the cage but again, was cut off by Cena. The two duked it out on the top rope exchanging blows and head butts. Cena hit a big top rope bulldog and both men were left laid out as we went to commercial.

We came back to Edge having Cena locked in a crossface. Cena managed to break the hold but again, was heavily favoring his left arm.

Edge went for the door and Cena clinged to the challenger’s leg for dear life. Cena yanked Edge back into the ring, but Edge booted Cena’s arm before sending Cena into the steel. Edge began to climb the cage and got to the top but Cena held on.

Both men ended up on top of the cage exchanging blows. Edge raked Cena’s eyes and continued to climb, but Cena still held on and managed to yank Edge back into the cage. Edge however got another thumb to the eye and suplexed Cena back into the ring. Edge went for the cover but got a two count.

Edge tried to climb out yet again, but Cena tripped him up and crotched him on the top rope and flopped him back onto the mat. Cena hit hid shoulder block, clotheslines and inverted suplex before connecting with the five-knuckle shuffle. Cena went for the FU but Edge held onto the cage and rammed Cena into the steel.

Edge crawled for the door, but Cena got him again. Lita tried to use a chair to aid Edge, but it ended up getting pulled into the cage with Edge. Lita was ejected from ringside. Edge was shocked in the ring and went back to work on Cena heading off a follow up on the Irish whip attempt. The referee got knocked out with the next move and Edge went for the steel chair.

Edge missed the chair shot and Cena yanked the chair out of his hands and clamped on the STFU. Cade and Murdoch popped out of nowhere and assaulted the champion after getting into the ring. They planted Cena with their finishing move and tried to revive Edge. When that failed they began dragging Edge out the door.

Just as Edge was almost out the door, DX showed up and cleaned house on Cade and Murdoch. They stared down Edge and slammed the door on his face. Edge reeled back into the middle of the ring and Cena hit him with the FU for the win.
Winner and STILL WWE Champion: John Cena
