December 6 , 2004 Monday Night RAW results The December 6 , 2004 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s RAW brand , which took place on December 6 , 2004 at the Cricket Arena in Charlotte , North Carolina . Summary . Chris Benoit and Edge both claimed to be the rightful World Heavyweight Champion on Monday Night RAW , but WWE Chairman Mr . McMahon had different plans . Mr . McMahon studied the footage from the previous week ' s Triple Threat Match . Concluding that the match ended in a tie , Mr . McMahon did what he considered the only reasonable course of action : vacate the Championship . And by clarifying the situation , Mr . McMahon added another layer of mystery to the World Heavyweight Championship picture . Before RAW , only three men could legitimately be declared the titleholder . Now , anything goes . That fact certainly wasn ’ t lost on Randy Orton , who contractually could not challenge Triple H while he held the World Heavyweight Championship . Now a very happy Orton , along with a host of other RAW Superstars , could conceivably soon be Champion . Ultimately , it was up to returning RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff to determine how and when the next champion would be crowned . But Mr . McMahon made one thing quite clear : Triple H is no longer World Heavyweight Champion — a fact that launched The Game into a full - blown rage backstage . That fury boiled over into a tag - team match later in the evening , as Triple H hit everyone in sight with a steel chair — including the referee and , accidentally , Batista . Edge was no happier with Mr . McMahon ’ s decision , and he called out Randy Orton to take out his aggression . As a result , a match was made between Edge and Orton for next week ’ s RAW from Huntsville , Alabama . This week in Charlotte , N . C . , RAW was Jericho . Y2J took over as GM - for - a - day , and his stint in charge left a lasting impression on the Women ’ s Division . Jericho forced Trish Stratus into a match against Lita . Much to Trish ’ s disgust , Lita became the new Women ’ s Champion despite a heart - stopping suicide dive to the outside . Lita was able to recover , then finish Trish off with a Twist of Fate and top - rope moonsault . Jericho put another title up for grabs by making a match between Christian and Intercontinental Champion Shelton Benjamin . But in order to earn a shot at the title , Christian had to agree to dress up as “ Captain Charisma ” for the duration of the match . After initially hesitating , Christian did appear in the pink mask and attire . And it looked like Christian might just pull the match out , but Benjamin caught Charisma with the T - Bone Suplex with the Captain blinded by his own mask , then got the pin . Maven and Eugene had it out in a full - fledged match after Maven ’ s sneak attack last week . But Maven snapped again , stepping on Eugene ’ s throat beyond the count of five and causing a disqualification . Maven followed that up by smashing William Regal with the ring bell . Simon Dean joined the ranks of RAW ’ s Superstars , taking on The Hurricane . RAW ’ s resident Superhero couldn ’ t overcome the Simon System , as Dean rolled him up with a handful of tights for the victory . Simon then displayed his patented powder as he celebrated up the entrance ramp . And it wouldn ’ t have been Jericho ’ s night running RAW without “ the biggest party in the history of RAW . ” So , Fozzy performed during Y2J ’ s Rock & Roll Limbo - A - Go - Go featuring sizzling Divas Candace , Maria , Melina and Stacy Keibler . Christy won the limbo , but the fun was stopped short by Muhammad Hassan and Khosrow Daivari , who let everyone know that Hassan ’ s debut would come next week on RAW .
