Prime Time Andrew Doyle 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2006 From WWE.com Repercussions By Louie Dee June 12, 2006 School may be out for the summer, but Triple H may be in for a hard lesson when RAW invades Penn State University on Monday night. The office of the Chairman of WWE has just announced that Triple H will face the entire Spirit Squad in a five-on-one Handicap Match this Monday night on RAW. The announcement comes on the heels of Triple H’s latest example of blatant defiance of Mr. McMahon’s authority, which ended with the Chairman being knocked out cold with his pants around his ankles after The Game refused to join the Kiss My Ass Club. Clearly, Mr. McMahon does not take too kindly to being embarrassed in his very own ring. As a result, The Game must now square off against Kenny, Mikey, Nicky, Johnny and Mitch. Will the King of Kings live to regret his actions of last Monday night? Or will the former 10-time World Champion manage to stick it to Mr. McMahon once again, this time by turning back his hand-picked henchmen, the Spirit Squad. John Cena will also be looking for some revenge, with Edge being his target. Last night at ECW One Night Stand, Edge came from under the ring and speared Cena through a table, an action that led to Cena losing the WWE Championship. Tonight, Cena will try to get back at the Rated-R Superstar when they go one on one. Also last week, Kane was once again tormented by the mirror image of himself. The voices caused him to lose to Lance Cade by countout, and when he went to confront it in the locker room, the mirror Kane left him in a heap. Will the Big Red Monster continue to be tormented by his past this Monday? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cabbageboy 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2006 This is really, really weird. There is seriously no mention of RVD winning here whatsoever. And Vince being more preoccupied with HHH and the Spirit Squad rather than a guy renaming his title belt and possibly running off with it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GOLD 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2006 Maybe they are just going to hold up the title at the PPV and pretend RVD and ECW no longer exist. I guess that would work as well. I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UseTheSledgehammerUh 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2006 Edge Vs. Cena may be a red-herring to get the ECW fans who feel cheated out of RVD's lame victory to watch, since they expect Cena to be awarded back the title. I think the main event of Vengeance will be Cena Vs. Edge Vs. RVD, with Cena pinning Edge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BorneAgain 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2006 I suspect for a lot of people its going to be difficult to get back into Raw especially after a show like One Night Stand. Granted they said the same thing after last year's but there wasn't a whole other alternative brand being offered either. Also curious as to whether or nor Edge will be treated like a (kayfabe) pariah because of his actions at ONS2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

randomguy 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2006 If they actually keep the title on RVD for a while that would be a bad move IMO. ECW will do best if it separates itself from WWE and is presented as a real alternative. Continuously having crossover PPVs and things like that would just be bad. ECW needs it's own identify and that isn't going to happen if ECW and Raw trade the same belt back and forth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NoCalMike 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2006 The thing is though. Lets just say it plays out on Raw, with Cena saying "Edge cost me the belt" and that sets up a vengence match. Now on Tuesday, RVD can easily come out with the WWE spinner belt, and Heyman comes out and proclaims that because RVD is now an ECW superstar, he is awarding him the ECW belt for his victory on ONS II, and RVD just vacates the Spinner belt, sending it back to Raw because they can justify that a WWE belt is meaningless on an ECW show, and then the Cena/Edge match turns into a title match. I mean is it really that difficult? No. Does it really make anyone look bad? No. I just don't see the need to strip RVD of anything. Screwjob endings happen on WWE events all the time, and this time it was at an ECW event under "Extreme rules" which further validates RVD's win. Plus the "No Instant Replay" stuff,(of course that is only used when convenient, but still). Am I off base here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prime Time Andrew Doyle 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2006 NoCal has hit the nail on the head. Have Heyman and Van Dam give Vince the belt back, whilst saying the RVD is the ECW Champ and let Cena & Edge fight for the belt. From there, they can maybe do a screwy finish and have a tourny for the belt leading up to Vengence and have the finalists face at Vengence, with Cena and Edge being those finalists. That way they can build up some Raw superstars by having them have good showings in the Tourny, pushing Edge and Cena to the limit. That way they can also build a feud for after Vengence for a semi finalist maybe losing in a screwy way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Hotbutter Spoontoaster Report post Posted June 12, 2006 The impression I've been given, and this is not official, is that they won't strip Rob Van Dam of the title on TV and when he loses it, it will be in the ring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

benn 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2006 Now that I think about it, I guess they could reverse the screwjob or something. Have RVD fast-counted or something, he and Heyman say fuck this and create their own ECW title. Whatever way it's booked, they need to protect both Cena and RVD as the top guys on Raw and ECW and come out of it with separate titles for all 3 brands.

The Tino Standard 0 Report post Posted June 12, 2006 I don't think you can have RVD and Heyman just "give back" the WWE title in favor of creating a new one. Saying "I'm not interested in this belt, so here ya go, take it back... I'd rather have this ECW belt instead" basically means you're saying the ECW belt is more valuable. And if you think for one second that Vince McMahon is going to make an ECW championship a bigger prize than the WWE title, which has been around for 50+ years, you're out of your mind.

You're right, but in kayfabe(as well as reality) Vince is the one who brought back ECW, and allowed the match to take place. Maybe he'll just recognize RVD as the ECW champion and then have the tourney thing to crown a new wwe champ on raw Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
