October 24 , 2005 Monday Night RAW results The October 24 , 2005 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s RAW brand , which took place on October 24 , 2005 at the Save Mart Center in Fresno , California . Summary . With original guest ref Mick Foley incapacitated at the hands of Carlito , none other than RAW GM Eric Bischoff stormed down the ramp dressed in black and whites stripes . Referee Bischoff immediately broke up Cena ’ s FU finisher attempt on Angle , perhaps costing Cena the match . Bischoff then did his best to quick - count Angle to victory , but The Champ wouldn ’ t let it happen . With Cena battling furiously to deal with two very different adversaries , eventually the door opened for Angle to cinch in the ankle lock . Despite referee Bischoff screaming , “ You will tap ! ” Cena defiantly shook his head and reached for the ropes to force a break . But Bischoff instead grabbed Cena ’ s outstretched arm and forced it down into the mat in a “ tapping ” motion . Bischoff chose to interpret that act as Cena tapping out to the submission hold and called for the bell , signaling Angle as the official winner of the non - title match . Cena hobbled in disbelief as the Olympic gold medalist celebrated up the ramp . Then , in a WWE . com Unlimited exclusive , Bischoff declared that there would be no rest for the weary Cena : Next week on RAW , “ The Champ ” will be forced to face Shawn Michaels . Michaels is known as “ The Main Event . ” In the Monday Night RAW opener , he made his case for headlining Taboo Tuesday with a huge Triple Threat victory over Big Show and Kane . The match served as a successful showcase for HBK in front of the voting public that will decide which Superstar will join John Cena and Kurt Angle in a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Championship on Nov . 1 . If Michaels can capture the fans ’ vote , it will be familiar territory as he was voted into last year ’ s Taboo Tuesday main event despite being injured . The RAW Triple Threat Match turned when Big Show absorbed a metal - denting chair shot from Kane that went undetected by the referee . HBK followed up by delivering “ Sweet Chin Music ” to both opponents . Michaels then covered the largest athlete in the world to pick up the win . The intensity of the match was evident early , as Big Show ’ s forehead was busted open right off the top . He bled throughout the match , oftentimes fighting off both adversaries . Big Show used his size and strength to great effect — including gorilla pressing Michaels to the outside and even hitting a superplex — until Kane seemingly snapped , tossing chairs into the ring and then leveling Big Show with the fourth one . When Show went down , Kane took to the top rope , only to receive a superkick on the way down . Big Show recovered enough to reach his feet , only to be blasted by a second Michaels superkick . The next match was scheduled to be Triple H against Viscera , but Ric Flair wasn ’ t waiting until its conclusion to get his hands on “ The Game . ” As Triple H made his way down the ramp , Flair jumped him from behind . The former best friends then brawled until being broken up by a swarm of WWE officials . Afterward , “ The Nature Boy ” begged WWE ’ s fans to vote for a Steel Cage Match when Ric Flair faces Triple H at Taboo Tuesday . It will be up to the fans to decide if the match is One Fall to a Finish , a Submisison Match or a Steel Cage Match . Clearly , Flair wants to get Triple H in the most brutal environment possible . In another event with Taboo Tuesday ramifications , SmackDown Superstars invaded RAW in retaliation . JBL provided a distraction from the parking lot area , taunting Chris Masters and goading him into leaving the ring area . Falling for “ the oldest trick in the book , ” Edge was then caught unaware as Rey Mysterio emerged from the crowd . Mysterio hit a springboard drop kick that sent Edge to the outside . That left Lita vulnerable for a 619 ! Before the SmackDown attack , Edge and Masters berated each potential Taboo Tuesday opponent . ( Edge & Masters will face two out of a possible five SmackDown Superstars on Nov . 1 . ) Edge and Masters took turns mocking SmackDown voting options JBL , Matt Hardy , Rey Mysterio , Christian and Hardcore Holly . Which two will get their chance to shut Edge and Masters up ? Only WWE ’ s fans will decide . While the fans hold all the authority at Taboo Tuesday , they were powerless and both Stephanie and Mr . McMahon mocked them this week on RAW . First a Stone Cold appearance was teased . But instead of Steve Austin driving the pickup truck , Stephanie McMahon emerged from the vehicle with a Stone Cold hat and a couple beers . Stephanie announced that Stone Cold will not be at RAW this week , despite Jonathan Coachman repeatedly calling him out . One thing is certain : Stone Cold will be at Taboo Tuesday , and if he can beat “ The Coach ” in a fan - selected confrontation , Jim Ross will get his job back . If Coachman somehow wins , then Stone Cold will join J . R . on the unemployment line . Mr . McMahon later entered the ring to announce his “ big surprise , ” which turned out to be “ footage ” of Jim Ross ’ colon surgery . Words cannot describe the “ graphic ” video that followed . Video will be available on WWE . com soon . Also , The Hurricane hung Rosey out to dry during their tag team match against Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch . Rosey was left to fend for himself as an unmasked Gregory Helms stood in street clothes at the top of the ramp . Eventually , Rosey succumbed to the World Tag Team Champions ’ “ Sweet N Sour ” tandem finisher . After the match in a WWE . com Unlimited exclusive , Helms called Rosey a joke whom he carried for two years . He added that from now on , the only person he ’ s going to help is himself .
