Monday Night Raw 281: October 5, 1998

X-Pac defends his European Championship against D-Lo Brown. Jacqueline lays a trap for Sable. Chyna continues to be served.
==Event recap==
===X-Pac vs. D'Lo Brown===
Someone serves Chyna with papers and Henry is smiling. X-Pac speeds things up and hits the Bronco Buster, but Henry trips him up and rams Pac’s back into the post. Chyna did not assist X-Pac following the attack. Low Down gives us a new champion. JR wonders if this will add to the woes of DX.
===Earlier today===
The Oddities played football earlier today. The ICP wondered what they were doing.
===The Headbangers called out The ICP===
The Headbangers cut an in-ring promo in which they challenged the ICP to a match, then telling them to send the Oddities backstage when the ICP finally appeared; moments later, the ICP was assaulted, eventually sustaining steel chairshots to the head; moments later, the Oddities returned ringside and made the save, with the Headbangers then taking the mic and telling the ICP they sucked.
===Marc Mero vs. Vader===
Sable joins in on commentary. At the commentary table, Tori was at ringside when Sable took her seat and Sable shook her hand.
Sable says she wants the Women’s Title which would come soon enough. Vader pounds away on him and they head to the floor where Mero hides behind Jackie. After a Jackie eye rake, it’s back to the ring and Mero takes over. Vader beats him down again and a splash gets two. Jackie dives onto Vader and gets caught, but a Mero low blow and the Marvelocity and gets the pin.
Jackie gets on the mic post match. She challenges Sable who gets in, but Mero distracts her so Jackie can jump her. Jackie cuts Sable’s hair.
===Val Venis & Terri backstage===
Val Venis finds Terri’s "wedding ring".
===Val Venis vs. Gangrel===
Val talks about Magic Johnson before the match. Val hits a big boot and here comes Edge. He gets in Christian’s face but Gangrel runs out to DDT Edge on the floor. They stomp Edge and the match is thrown out. Val wins by countout..? Val and Terri make out in the ring but a movie usher shows up. He hands Val a gold envelope, the contents of which freak Val out. Cue Goldust’s music and the man himself on the screen. Goldust’s world premiere is next week apparently.
