October 11 , 2004 Monday Night RAW results The October 11 , 2004 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s RAW brand , which took place on October 11 , 2004 at the Manchester Evening News Arena in Manchester , England . Summary . In the first - ever RAW from the United Kingdom , and a little more than a week before Taboo Tuesday , Superstars were campaigning WWE - style Monday in Manchester , England . And the most serious politicking was done by the three contenders for Triple H ’ s World Heavyweight Championship : Shawn Michaels , Chris Benoit and Edge . In fact , the restless trio could barely get along during Monday ’ s main event , which pitted Evolution against HBK , Benoit and Edge . Still , the combination of Sweet Chin Music from HBK and a Flying Headbutt from Benoit put Triple H down for the count . But instead of congratulating each other for a job well done , all three Superstars took turns grabbing the microphone and making their cases for Taboo Tuesday . And when HBK attempted to take a straw poll of the raucous MEN Arena crowd , Edge took exception , spearing the Showstopper and the Rabid Wolverine . RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff couldn ' t help but notice the tension among the candidates . As a result , all three contenders got a chance complete their campaigns next week , squaring off in a Triple Threat Match in Chicago . La Resistance also received some sobering news from Bischoff . After the World Tag Team Champions failed to inflict the type of punishment on Eugene that Bischoff wanted to see , the RAW boss made sure La Resistance would be busy at Taboo Tuesday . In fact , the two Superstars not selected to face Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship would team up to take on La Resistance . Of course , the three Superstars on that ballot are HBK , Edge and Chris Benoit , making the match quite a task for the champions , regardless of the voting outcome . Earlier in the night , Batista made his case for a spot opposite Chris Jericho for the Intercontinental Championship . Batista came out and beat down Jericho after Y2J ’ s tag match in Manchester . Batista was one of 15 different Superstars eligible to face Jericho . It also wasn ’ t a good night to be Val Venis . Moments after Kane saw Gene Snitsky give a taunting interview to Jim Ross from the WWE World Headquarters in Stamford , Conn . , The Big Red Monster simply lost it . Kane barged in on the tag match that was scheduled to begin and cleared house with a steel chair . Val Venis took the brunt of his unbridled anger , receiving about a dozen shots to the back while he was already down face first on the ramp . Val Venis would be hauled off on a stretcher minutes later . You could wonder if Kane was giving the seemingly unshakable Snitsky a painful preview of what was to come during their Taboo Tuesday ’ s Weapon of Choice Match . Randy Orton and Ric Flair also had another confrontation before their match at Taboo Tuesday . Flair maintained that Orton wasn ’ t a Legend Killer , while Orton simply announced that he hopes the Nature Boy would bring his best to Milwaukee . England native William Regal also had quite a night as Regal and Eugene thought they won the World Tag Team Championship from La Resistance . But Bischoff had other ideas , restarting the match , as La Resistance held on for dear life .
