Kansas Coliseum
Wichita, Kansas
October 26, 2002
It was a busy day for WWE. While the stars of Smackdown were in London for the Rebellion pay-per-view, the stars of Raw were in Wichita for a house show. It was pretty much the same card as yesterday's show in Topeka with a few alterations. Instead of Trish vs Molly one on one, NOW its a tag match with Trish and Jacqueline facing Molly and Victoria. Apart from that, its the exact same card from Topeka. May as well get right to it.
Match 1
Mark Jindrak and Johnny Stamboli vs Steven Richards and Justin Credible
The exact same match to open the show in Topeka opens the show in Wichita. Only this time, Jindrak and Stamboli get the victory. Both these guys would be in WWE....eventually.
Winners: Stamboli and Jindrak by pinfall
Match 2
Redd Dogg vs Batista
Just like yesterday, the repackaged Batista takes on Redd Dogg from OVW. Just like yesterday, Batista takes it with the sit out powerbomb.
Winner: Batista by pinfall
Match 3
Rico vs Tommy Dreamer
Yesterday Rico defeated Tommy Dreamer with a roll-up. Today Dreamer wipes out Rico with the Death Valley Driver. Least they're switching it up today.
Winner: Dreamer by pinfall
Match 4
Jeff Hardy and Bubba Ray Dudley vs Christian and Chris Jericho for the World Tag Team Championship
A rematch from yesterday's show with the makeshift team of Jeff and Bubba against the tag champs. Jericho clocked Jeff with one of the tag belts then hit the lionsault for the three count.
Winners: Christian and Chris Jericho by pinfall (still World Tag Team Champions)
Match 5
Rob Van Dam vs Test
Stacy Keibler was the special guest referee for this one. Even though she was being groomed as the manager for Test, Rob Van Dam took the match with a five star frog splash.
Winner: Rob Van Dam by pinfall
Match 6
Raven vs D-Lo Brown
As mentioned yesterday, D-Lo was about to be brought back on television for a push so he needed some wins to let the crowd know he was still there. He got the win here.
Winner: D-Lo Brown
Match 7
WWE Women's Champion Trish Stratus and Jacqueline vs Molly Holly and Victoria
Yesterday Trish faced Molly one on one with the others in their corners, now its a straight tag match. Molly and Victoria got the win when Molly rolled up Jackie and hooked the tights.
Winners: Molly Holly and Victoria by pinfall
Match 8
Lance Storm and William Regal vs Spike Dudley and The Hurricane
Same match from yesterday only with a slightly different result. Spike pinned Storm with a crucifix to win the match.
Winners: Spike and Hurricane by pinfall
Match 9
Kane vs Triple H for the World Heavyweight Championship
Same match from yesterday with the same ending. Kane went absolutely nuts with a chair to get himself disqualified. Then he started fighting off the guys on the card until Batista pulled Triple H out of the ring. At least that's more entertaining than what was going on during Raw.
Winner: Triple H by disqualification (still World Heavyweight Champion)
Almost the exact same show as yesterday only with slightly different results. As mentioned earlier, Smackdown was far and away the better roster but without the god awful storylines on Raw, at least the house shows probably were better to sit through. Kane vs Triple H was coming to an end but the Katie Vick angle pretty much ruined it. Still, things were about to get a little better because an old star was coming back to active duty. As mentioned earlier, later on that night was the UK ppv Rebellion but first, we got Velocity. I'll see you there.
