We begin with Batista making a surprise appearance. The crowd goes crazy, the pyro heats the place up, and the World Heavyweight Champion makes his way to the ring.

Batista grabs the mic and says it's good to be back on Raw, although he's grown quite fond of Smackdown. He says he was invited by William Regal to take on some Raw competition. Although he appreciates the invitation, Regal made a mistake:Batista is gearing up for Survivor Series, for Hell in a Cell, and for the Undertaker. He'll be locked in a cell with a man who wants to kill him, but there are no rules - and weapons are not only welcome, but allowed. So, before his victim comes out, Batista has a message for the Undertaker...

DONG! The bells ring and the Undertaker arrives on Raw! Taker makes his way to the ring and takes his coat off, ready to fight. The men square off, but Regal's music hits. Regal says he invited both of them for competition, but it's not against each other. Tonight, they'll be partners against the finest tag team on Raw. Cade and Murdoch's theme hits, and the World tag-team champs come down to do battle with the Animal and the Dead Man.

Batista and Undertaker vs. Cade and Murdoch
Taker starts by attacking Cade, delivering shoulder blocks, and Old School! As he sizes Cade up for a chokeslam, Batista tags himself in. He puts Cade in the turnbuckle and hits him with his shoulder. Cade catches Batista with a big boot, and gets Murdoch in. Murdoch starts hammering away on Batista, flooring him with a clothesline. He tags Cade back in, and they do the atomic leg drop on Batista, resulting in a 2 count. Batista powers back to his feet, and delivers a spinebuster to the charging Cade. Taker tags himself back in, grabs Cade and delivers a chokeslam. Undertaker gets a 2, as Murdoch interferes. Batista spears Murdoch, as Undertaker measures up Cade and delivers a tombstone for the 1, 2, 3!

MVP sends Rey into the ropes, but Rey reverses and hits a DDT on MVP.

Jeff droptoeholds both Kennedy and MVP into the ropes, Rey hits a double 619, and Hardy hits the swanton on MVP for the win!

We get another mystery promo: it says 6 days, 23 hours - X+1=Y, J=9+1 - Break_the_Walls. So, there you have it folks. Chris Jericho, next Monday on Raw. Way to drop the ball on the mystery, WWE.

Vince McMahon is in the ring. He talks up the Survivor Series match between Randy Orton and HBK, and then introduces HBK. Shawn comes out to the usual crowd reaction. Vince then introduces Randy Orton, who gets resounding boos. Both men face each other in the ring, with Vince there to moderate. HBK says that he's aware of the stipulations for their match, and he's aware of who come up with them. Orton reiterates what the rules are, and HBK interupts and says that he knows the rules. Orton says that he is sick of being told that he intentionally disqualified at Cyber Sunday when he just defended himself. HBK says that the reason Orton got the Super Kick banned was because Orton has been feasting on it for the last five weeks, and at Survivor Series, it would have been number six.

Shawn Michaels has floored WWE Champion Randy Orton with Sweet Chin Music an astonishing five weeks in a row. Will HBK be looking to make it a six-pack this week on Raw? Or will the champ be able to regain some momentum heading into Survivor Series?

The following report is courtesy of lordsofpain.net...

Raw starts tonight with DX's theme hitting to a massive pop. Triple H and Shawn Michaels make their way to the ring, throwing green glow-sticks to the crowd on their way. They grab a mics, and after pumping the crowd up some more, Triple H announces that it's for one night only, and asks if the LA crowd if they're ready? Then, for the thousands in attendance and millions watching around the world... Hornswoggle's music hits, and little McMahon jumps out from the bottom of the ring, surprising Shawn and Triple H. HHH says "that's different" and tells Hornswoggle to get back under the ring. HHH asks Shawn if he's got a run-sheet, and after fiddling around, Shawn gives it to HHH, and HHH tells Hornswoggle that he's not in this segment... he's in the short segment. Hornswoggle jumps on Shawn and puts an armbar on him. Shawn gets out, and pronounces that Hornswoggle is "in for tonight." HHH sends Hornswoggle away again, but Hornswoggle says there's a monster under the ring. HBK goes and checks, but gets dragged underneath, only to come out with wroms in his mouth. Shawn gets the worms out, and the Boogeyman's music hits. HHH says "ok... can I help you?"

Boogeyman says he wants to join DX. HBK says "ok, he's in too." HHH says "What the hell, get in line, you can never have enough freaks and weirdos." As soon as they line up to do the "lets get ready to suck it" part, Khali's music hits, and Khali comes down to the ring. HBK says before we even start, to keep him from getting beat down, lets just pretend he's not here, and move on. HHH says "ok, if you want to be part of DX, get in the back." Khali gets in the back. HHH starts doing a hilarious Indian accent, and the start to do the line once more, but Coach's music hits. Coach comes out, and says "Enough!" Coach says he's shutting this nonsense down, the crowd didn't come to see the immature antics. HHH calls Coach "George Jefferson" and tells him to lower his tone. HHH tells Runjin that Coach was talking trash about Khali. Runjin translates it to Khali, who then walks up and gives Khali a big chop to the forehead. Coach takes off running, and Khali follows him.

Back in the ring, Shawn and Triple H are standing, and everyone else has disappeared. HBK calls this the worst debacle since "That whole Katie Vick thing" and asks who wrote this segment. HHH says "nobody writes this, they're all on strike... but we're not" to a resounding cheer. They say "lets get ready to suck it!" and if you're not down with that, they have two words for ya. DX celebrates to the familiar music as we go to commercial.

Kennedy is already in the ring when we come back, he is soon joined by Finlay. Misterio comes out, and is followed by Jeff Hardy, who gets the biggest pop of the night so far.

The match starts with Hardy and Finlay. A "Hardy" chant starts right away. Finlay and Hardy size each other up, and Finlay hits a Shoulder block, but Hardy doesn't go down. Finlay takes Hardy down, but Hardy counters and gets a two count. Finlay and Hardy both get up and tussle a but, before Hardy smacks Finlay and attacks Kennedy, who tried to attack Hardy. Kennedy is sent to the outside, but a clothesline from Finlay soon makes Hardy join him. Kennedy beats down Hardy, and Finlay tries to get Hardy back in the ring. An arguement between the two flares up, and Finlay and Kennedy go face to face as we go to a break.

We come back to see Mysterio and Kennedy in the ring. Rey hits a springboard body press followed by a headscissors takedown. After yet another high flying move, Kennedy hits a dropkick to the legs that grounds Mysterio. Kennedy tags in Finlay, who comes in and stomps at the legs of the fallen Mysterio.

Santino hits the ring with Maria, saying that he's putting the rumors to rest. Steve Austin is not going to be here; he's like Kobe Bryant: he's bald, he's popular, and he doesn't want to be in L.A. either. Santino introduces the director of "the Condemned" and asks him a question: When he was filming "The Condemned" did he wish the guns were real so he could blow his brains out? The audience wished they could do that. Tonight, there will be no stomping of mudpies, and JR won't have an orgasm, because the Rattlesnake isn't here. WAIT, yes he is. Steve Austin's music hits and here comes Stone Cold. Stone Cold comes in to a MASSIVE pop. There's nobody like Stone Cold. This is awesome.

HBK's music hits, and Shawn Michaels appears to quite an ovation! Shawn comes to the ring and, after pandering to the crowd a bit, he grabs a mic. He thanks everyone who voted for him into the match at Cyber Sunday, and says he's got good news and bad news. The good news is that once again, he knocked Randy Orton out cold with some Sweet Chin Music. The Bad news is that he doesn't have the WWE championship. He says Orton intentionally got himself disqualified last night, and since he won the match, he gets a rematch... which he wants RIGHT NOW.

Vince McMahon's music hits, and the Chairman struts down to the ring. VKM asks how many people want to see a rematch. Everyone cheers a resounding "Yes." Vince asks Shawn what he's doing... that there's something else Shawn wants more than the WWE Championship: revenge. Vince has known Shawn since he was 23 years old, and deep down, there's a part of his soul that's rotten, and there's not a thing Shawn can do about it. Shawn admits it. He sat home for four months, leaving the industry for the second time. He says the next time he leaves, it will be on his terms. Randy tried to change that, and he can't have that.

HBK wants to take out Randy, and asks if he can have his rematch or not. Vince says that Survivor Series is an aptly named PPV, and Shawn's got his rematch. But, what will he do about it? Shawn throws a superkick to Vince, but intentionally misses, having Vince cower and get out of the ring.

Here's the official preview for tonight's Monday Night Raw... 

Viewers worldwide saw Randy Orton retain his WWE Championship against your chosen Cyber Sunday challenger, Shawn Michaels, through a devious – or desperate – low-blow disqualification. But for his trouble, the crafty Legend Killer also got a dose of Sweet Chin Music for the fourth straight week.

How will HBK react to his unsatisfying victory at Cyber Sunday, and will Orton seek retribution?

After a brutal Street Fight at Cyber Sunday, Triple H showed mettle with metal in defeating the Samoan Bulldozer, Umaga. Will the beast or his backer, Mr. McMahon, be looking to even the score with The Cerebral Assassin?

With Halloween approaching, Mickie James won the costume contest at Cyber Sunday. But will she come out on top as the Divas face off in a ghoulish Halloween Costume Battle Royal on Raw?

And speaking of WWE Divas, the 2007 WWE Diva Search will come to an end as either Brooke or Eve will emerge as the new WWE Diva. Who will you pick? Catch Raw Monday night and find out.

And after Hardcore Holly’s rescue of Cody Rhodes last week during a 2-on-1 assault by the Self-Proclaimed World’s Greatest Tag Team, what will transpire between the rough ring veteran and the son of the “American Dream”? Are these two developing a sense of mutual respect?

The following report is courtesy of lordsofpain.net...

We begin with Kennedy already in the ring. He puts over Cyber Sunday, saying that everyone has an opportunity to make history by choosing who will face Randy Orton for the WWE Championship. On the one hand, you have IC Champ Jeff Hardy. Hardy is like Hilary Clinton (mad boos), what with the famous last name and blonde hair. Jeff can't get the job done because like Hilary, he has no testicles. On the other hand, you have Shawn Michaels. Shawn is like Rudy Giuliani. Both talk big and have good resumes, but both live in the past.

Kennedy asks Shawn what he's done for him lately, because it's nowhere near as impressive as what he's done over the past two years: US Champ, Money in the Bank, beating Rey, Batista, and even The Undertaker. So to paraphrase a famous politician, "Ask not what Mr. Kennedy can do for you, but what you can do for Mr. Kennedy." If elected, Kennedy will win the title, and there will be a new Champion... Mr. Kennedy.

Kennedy is interrupted with a "Yo! Kennedy, over here, dude." Jeff Hardy is standing in the crowd. Jeff says Kennedy's approval rating sucks. Kennedy says that Jeff does not want to debate Kennedy - his success speaks for itself. Jeff makes his way through the fans as Kennedy insults the crowd and accuses Jeff of begging for votes. Jeff says Kennedy failed when he tried to be a McMahon, and failed when he tried to beat Jeff Hardy, and come Cyber Sunday, he'll fail again. Jeff says there's one vote he can win, and asks the crowd how many people want to see him beat the holy hell out of Kennedy right now. The crowd cheers, and Hardy jumps in the ring, but Orton comes down and they team up on Hardy. HBK comes down and takes out Orton before Orton can get the big kick off, and Hardy clotheslines Kennedy out of the ring. Hardy is left standing in the ring with his music playing.

Mickie James, London, and Kendrick v. Melina, Cade, and Murdoch
Lance Cade starts out against Paul London. London up early with a headlock takeover, but Cade throws him into the ropes and hits a shoulderblock. Cade in control until London hits a crossbody, and tags in Kendrick for a doubleteam sunset flip that gets a 2 count. London is tagged back in, and he hits an axehandle on to Cades waiting arm. London tags Kendrick back in and he does the same. Kendrick tags Mickie, which brings in Melina. Mickie with a few kicks that leave Melina scrambling to tag Murdoch. Kendrick comes in to meat him and Murdoch hits a few moves and tags in Cade. Cade takes control, hits a few knees, and tags in Murdoch. Double-team Legdrop on Kendrick, but only gets a two count. Murdoch tags back in Cade, and Cade gets met with a dropkick by Kendrick.

Cade tags in Murdoch, and Kendrick leaps and tags in London. London hits a spinning heel kick, but gets interrupted at the pinfall attempt when Lance Cade comes in and breaks everything up. Murdoch gets up, shoves Mickie down, and gets ready to hit a double team move on London. Mickie jumps back in and eliminates Melina with a Thesz press, when a charging Cade accidentally hits Murdoch with a clothesline, who then falls out of the ring. London hits a standing shooting star on Murdoch, and gets the pin. They celebrate, but Mickie looks cautious, as if something happened that wasn't supposed to happen.
Winners: Kendrick, London, and Mickie

Cody is in the back reading the new WWE Magazine, when Shelton and Haas come up to him and make fun of him for losing to Bob Holly. Shelton says the good news is that he won't be getting beaten up by Bob tonight, but he'll still be beaten up by Shelton in their match. Cody says the difference is that he actually respects Bob Holly, and makes fun of Shelton's blonde hair. Shelton says after tonight, Cody should dye his hair blonde, so he can be a younger, less talented, skinnier, uglier version of his father. As they walk away, Haas snaps his fingers and says "Oh Snap!"

Coach and Regal are talking. Apparently Vince is out of the country, and Coach is asking for a match against Hornswoggle tonight. Regal says Vince probably set up Coach to get embarassed last week. Coach says Vince isn't sane anymore, because he things Hornswoggle is a child. By booking the match tonight, Regal is doing a favor to the entire McMahon family, giving them that much more inheritance if Hornswoggle is eliminated. Regal agrees to the match, but Coach says he isn't going to fight Hornswoggle... but Umaga will. Regal thinks about it, and walks away.

Cody Rhodes v. Shelton Benjamin
Shelton starts off wiht a kick to the midsection, and pounds Cody in the corner. Shelton starts working on Cody's left leg, delivering stomps and other impact moves. Rhodes fights back up, but a headlock is countered by Shelton, and Benjamin is in control again. Shelton catches a knee in the stomach, and then hits a bulldog from the corner, garnering a 2 count. Haas distracts Cody, and Shelton goes for a roll-up, but Cody rolls it back over and gets a surprise three count.

Carlito into the turnbuckle, and kicks up to get behind Smith, but gets caught. Smith hits a running powerslam for the win!
Winner: D.H. Smith

Umaga comes down to the ring, accompanied by Coach. He is supposed to take on Hornswoggle. Hornswoggle slides out from under the ring, looking rather reluctant to do this match with Umaga. This should be interesting. Coach keeps telling Hornswoggle to get in the ring. Hornswoggle jumps off the apron and runs up th ramp, as Coach and Umaga look on. Triple H's music hits, and the Game comes out to a huge pop. He makes his way to the ring, with Umaga looking ready. The two start to fight, throwing lefts and rights at each other. Triple H hits a Lou Thesz Press, and starts pounding Umaga. Referees hit the ring and try to pull the two apart, but the two keep fighting.
