Note: This will be my last RAW report because I am going on vacation for two months.

The Canadian Crippler, Chris Benoit comes out to open RAW. Huge pop for Benoit. Benoit says that it feels good to be back. A few months ago, he was drafted by Vince to be on Smackdown. He said that there is absolutely no way that the WWE will come to his hometown without having him. He's only a few weeks away from coming back. He said that there is a reason why he came here tonight. Then, Eddie Guerrero's music hits and he comes out. Eddie tells Benoit that he's happy to see him, and that he missed him. Guerrero says that Benoit has always been jealous of Eddie Guerrero. Eddie says that he's the one with all the talent and charisma. Guerrero says that Benoit always tried to hold him back, because he was so jealous. Eddie says that last week he accomplished something that Benoit couldn't accomplish, and that's knocking out Austin.

Benoit says that Eddie is the IC champion an dthat's reality, but tonight RVD can change that reality. Benoit says that tonight, he'll find out if Eddie can have a better ladder match than him. Since Eddie is facing RVD tonight in a ladder match for the IC title. Benoit and Guerrero were going to fight, then Ric Flair comes out.

Flair says that he allowed Benoit to come out to suck up to his fans, and then he wants to start a fight..typical Canadian. Flair asks the fans if they want to see Benoit against Guerrero and they cheer. Flair said "too bad". Flair addresses Austin and says that he's still benched. Flair says that Benoit isn't benched, but if he thinks he can come out here and cause trouble against the IC champion, he's wrong. Flair says that if Benoit doesn't have a ticket, he should get out. Eddie agrees, and Benoit knocks him down. Flair calls security.. but Benoit left on his own.
