After weeks of Kurt Angle defeating John Cena at every turn, the WWE Champion thought he finally vanquished the Olympic Gold Medalist by defeating him and Shawn Michaels in a Triple Threat Match at Taboo Tuesday.
However, on the RAW following Taboo Tuesday, Eric Bischoff announced that the war would continue, and Angle and Cena would go one on one for the WWE Championship at Survivor Series. Later that night, hand-picked referee Daivari helped Angle & Chris Masters beat Cena & HBK, and the WWE Champion was left lying thanks to a chair shot from Daivari.
Can the Champ overcome the Olympic Gold Medalist one more time, or will Angle become a five-time WWE Champion on Nov. 27? Tune into Survivor Series to find out.

This one is about more than just a win or a loss. This one is about pride. This one is about RAW and SmackDown trying to show its superiority over the other. These two sides have been invading each other’s turf for the past month, and it will finally come to a head when five RAW Superstars will meet five SmackDown Superstars in a battle of survival for all the bragging rights.
SmackDown was heading into this one with all of the momentum. The fans voted in Rey Mysterio and Matt Hardy to represent SmackDown at Taboo Tuesday against the team of Snitsky and “The Masterpiece” Chris Masters. While Mysterio and Hardy may have been overmatched in the size department, they utilized their quickness and high-flying ability to catch the RAW monsters off guard. The win was a major coup as SmackDown was able to make itself look like the superior brand on a RAW pay-per-view.
On the Nov. 7 edition of RAW, Eric Bischoff announced that Big Show, Kane & team captain Shawn Michaels were his first three team members, and Carlito defeated Shelton Benjamin later that night to claim the fourth spot on Team RAW. Then on Nov. 12, Bischoff decided that Chris Masters would round out his team of five.
The following Friday night, SmackDown GM Theodore Long responded, announcing that his team would be captained by World Heavyweight Champion Batista. Later that same evening, RAW seized the day. Before Edge's scheduled Street Fight against Batista could begin, their attention was drawn to the action in the back. Bischoff had shown up and Long tried to get rid of him. With Long distracted, "The Masterpiece" blindsided the SmackDown GM and caught him in the Master Lock. Masters & Bischoff were chased away by JBL, Lashley, Rey Mysterio and Matt Hardy, but this only left things wide open for the ambush to continue.
With several SmackDown Superstars gone from the building, Kane and Big Show hit the ring to attack Batista. Some of the remaining Superstars in the locker room stormed the ring, but the monsters of mayhem disposed of them and then hit Batista with a thunderous double chokeslam. RAW had invaded SmackDown and left the World Heavyweight Champion laying in the middle of the ring.
SmackDown's captain Batista will be leading his team of Randy Orton, JBL, Lashley & Rey Mysterio as they charge into RAW this week, but what will they have in store for their Survivor Series opponents?

At Taboo Tuesday, Ric Flair got his wish, and defeated Triple H in a Steel Cage Match to retain the Intercontinental Championship. While he won that battle, the war between the former friends proved to be far from over.
The next week on RAW, Eric Bischoff announced that Flair and Triple H would meet again at Survivor Series, this time in a Last man Standing Match. Later that night, Triple H attacked Flair after his match with Rob Conway, battling through the crowd with the "Nature Boy" in the latest of a series of brawls between the two.
Will "The Dirtiest Player in the Game" prevail once more at Survivor Series, or will the Cerebral Assassin find a way to conquer his former friend? Tune in on Nov. 27 to find out.
RAW GM Eric Bischof vs. SmackDown GM Theodore Long

It was only a matter of time before these two General Managers would end up facing each other in a match. In fact, it’s a wonder these two haven’t formally clashed sooner. Although their rivalry began to intensify around WWE Homecoming, this was a natural rivalry ever since Theodore Long took over as General Manager of SmackDown in 2004. It only makes sense that Bischoff wants the superior brand and vice versa.
But the fuel was really added to the fire when it was announced that RAW would be going home to the USA Network. To kick off the move back to USA, RAW planned to put on a three-hour extravaganza the likes of which had never been seen. While this seemed perfect for Bischoff, Long wanted in on some of the action as well. After all, with all the hype behind WWE Homecoming, there would be a ton of national exposure.
So, Long visited Eric Bischoff on RAW and asked if SmackDown could be a part of WWE Homecoming. Bischoff wanted no part of what he felt was the inferior brand, but it just so happened that Mr. McMahon was also around that night. The Chairman felt that having SmackDown at Homecoming was a great idea, and he allowed Long to make one match to showcase his SmackDown talent. Long and his SmackDown Superstars arrived at Homecoming ready to show the RAW audience their extraordinary talents. But there was one problem. Mr. McMahon had already left for the night after being embarrassed by Stone Cold Steve Austin, so Bischoff took it upon himself to leave SmackDown in the dark – literally. He turned off the lights just as the SmackDown six-man tag match was about to begin. SmackDown got the last laugh, though, as they stormed the ring after the main event as an all-out RAW vs. SmackDown battle ensued.
Over the next couple of weeks, members from RAW and SmackDown began invading each other’s turf. Something had to be done. So, in an effort to settle the score, a RAW vs. SmackDown tag team match was set up for Taboo Tuesday. RAW’s team ended up consisting of Snitsky and “The Masterpiece” Chris Masters, and the fans voted in Matt Hardy and Rey Mysterio to represent SmackDown. Mysterio and Hardy proved to be the better team and scored the huge victory on a RAW pay-per-view.
Just days later, Bischoff showed up on SmackDown and told Long that enough was enough. In an effort to totally settle the score once and for all, they agreed to have a 5-on-5 elimination match at Survivor Series. Bischoff seemed content with that plan, but Long had another idea for the RAW GM. In addition to the elimination match, Long challenged the karate black belt to a RAW GM vs. SmackDown GM Match as well. An enraged Bischoff accepted the match, while Long seemed very happy with himself thuggin’ and buggin’ in the ring.
Bischoff showed up on SmackDown again the following week, this time uninvited. Long went to the back and asked Bischoff to leave. While Long had his attention turned towards Bischoff, "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters appeared from out of nowhere and blindsided the SmackDown GM and put him in the Master Lock. JBL, Rey Mysterio, Matt Hardy and Lashley came to the rescue but the damage had been done.
Will Bischoff’s karate background give him the edge, or will it be Long making Bischoff holla, holla, holla when it’s all said and done?

For months, Melina has claimed to be the dominant Diva on SmackDown. At Survivor Series, Melina looks to become the most dominant Diva in all of WWE when she meets Trish Stratus for the Women’s Championship.
On the Nov. 14 edition of RAW, Trish and Melina took part in an inter-promotional Diva Battle Royal. Melina and Trish were the last two women standing, and the SmackDown Diva was able to eliminate the Women’s Champion to win the Battle Royal.
The next week, two masked men abducted Trish as she stood at ringside watching Mickie James take on Candice Michelle. MNM were later revealed as her captors, and after binding and gagging Trish, Melina revealed her motive: gold. Melina challenged Trish to a match at Survivor Series for the Women’s Championship. Trish obliged, but a vicious kick to the head by Melina left her sprawled out on the floor.
Will Melina be able to claim the throne and win the Women’s Championship, or will Trish give the RAW brand a little Stratusfaction? Tune into Survivor Series on Nov. 27 to find out.
