Rock promo to start and he isn’t wasting time by calling out Taker. Taker comes out and basically does a veteran punks out young boy promo. That brings out Benoit and Kane and everyone wants a piece at the title. Nothing new but Foley sets up two singles matches.

 

Back from break, Kane and Benoit brawl down to the ring and JR informs us this is the last Raw broadcast on USA. Kane is working hard around this time and hits things like an enzuiguri and exerts his power. It is nice to see and of course Benoit can push the intensity. The match ends when Benoit uses the bell in a vicious attack but Kane sits right up. **1/4

The Rock gets them to replay the end of the tag team table match against the Dudley Boyz from Smackdown, and even though he doesn’t like the Undertaker he’s always respected him.  He understands that he is angry about going through the table, he understands he’s angry that he (the Rock) is the WWF champion and he isn’t, but instead of chokeslamming him through a table if he wanted a title shot all he had to do was ask.  Rock then calls him out so he can whip his candy ass all over Chicago.  Taker answers his challenge and questions the Rock as to who does he think he is to call him out?  He says he warned him Thursday night not to piss him off, then he leaves him hanging as the Dudleys put him through a table; that pissed him off!  Just as it looks like the two are about to get it on, Commissioner Foley is out, although he doesn’t really say much.  Mick runs down the rules for the ‘Fatal Four Way’ match, explaining that Rock can lose the title without being pinned, before setting up a match between the two for later in the show.  That announcement brings out Chris Benoit and then Kane, both who naturally think they deserve a title shot against the Rock.  Foley points out that he never said the title would be on the line, the Rock did, and while the Rock can do many things he’s not capable of making a title shot, only he can.  He goes on to confirm that the title will not be on the line, and seeing that Kane and ‘the Crippler’ want a piece of each other so much, sets up a match for them later too.

 We return from a commercial break and Kane and Benoit are already going at it, brawling their way down the aisle.  Kane presses ‘the Crippler’ overhead and throws him through the ropes into the ring.  He swats away a dropkick but then misses an elbow drop as Benoit goes to work on the knee of the ‘Big Red Machine’.  Enziguiri by Kane who disappointingly immediately stops selling that knee.  He whips Benoit into the corner, but ‘the Crippler’ avoids the charge as Kane goes flying between the turnbuckles shoulder first into the ring post.  Kane blocks the attempted crossface and tosses Benoit to the outside where he drops him throat first over the guard rail. Benoit then picks up the ring bell which he brings back into the ring with him and clocks Kane with for the DQ.  After Kane sits up after a post-match diving headbutt, Benoit has a real look of shock on his face at how he was able to withstand all of that.

 Kane is looking strong going into the PPV, but this is nothing more than filler until we get there.
