RAW Results for July 31 Triple H arrived in a limousine without his wife as RAW kicked off live from the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Ga.! In a Hardcore Tag Team match to start off RAW, D-Generation X took on Steve Blackman and Al Snow. Before the match, Blackman made it well known that he did not want any partner, let alone Al Snow! But the team worked very well together to open the match, pummeling Road Dogg and X-Pac with chains, garbage cans and street signs. DX battled back, and the match became a brutal assault that saw all four men take some unbelievable shots. Al Snow even nailed Road Dogg in the groin with a bowling ball! X-Pac recovered, but while he was swinging a stick around trying to show off like Blackman, the stick went flying out of his hands! Blackman took advantage and smacked X-Pac, but DX took the win after Road Dogg nailed Blackman with a chair and X-Pac covered him. Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley was shown arriving in a limo. Immediately, Triple H entered the ring with flowers in his hands. He said that he makes very few mistakes but acknowledged that his pride tends to prevent him from admitting them. The Game said that he made a mistake, and he apologized to Stephanie, saying she was his true love. Hunter asked her to come out to accept his apology. Jeff Hardy was shown being checked for a concussion, and while Edge and Christian conducted an interview with the Coach, Matt Hardy attacked them! Up next, Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit faced the Dudley Boyz. The action was high-paced, with both teams fighting each other intensely. Benoit even had D-Von in the Crippler Crossface, but Buh Buh pulled the Wolverine away! Buh Buh attempted to pin Angle, but Shane McMahon dropped an elbow off the top rope! The Dudleys nailed Benoit with a 3D, but the ref was knocked out! As the Dudleys went to get a table, Big Show ran out, chokeslammed Buh Buh and laid Benoit on top of him! Finally the referee recovered to make the count. As the Helmsleys prepared for their match, Triple H showed Stephanie some wrestling moves, and Stephanie asked to see the move that Hunter was showing Trish! As Stephanie bent down, Triple H almost fell, and said that Stephanie was a bit taller than Trish was! After talking his way out of that, the Game continued the lesson, but mistakenly called Stephanie by Trish's name! Upon hearing that, Stephanie walked out! The Game chased her down, but she just took her bags and left the arena. The Hos, continuing their protest, led a march through the Georgia Dome! Soon, Steven Richards, the Goodfather and Bull Buchanan came out saying that they were just trying to help people watching RAW! Steven said we all have rights, free speech, free religion, and the right to censorship! Then he had the Hos arrested! He said if anyone had a problem with his censorship, they could enter the ring, and out came the APA! Bradshaw said that Steven was forgetting about three other rights: the right to drink a lot of beer, the right to consort with wild, half naked women and the right to kick Steven's ass! The APA then brawled with Bull and the Goodfather, with Bradshaw getting the win after pinning Buchanan. Tazz and Rikishi battled each other in a very brutal match next. Both men exchanged thunderous blows, until finally backed that ass up and gave Tazz a Stink Face! The Human Wrecking Machine recovered, and almost scored a pinfall, then locked on the Tazzmission. Rikishi reversed the hold into a Samoan Drop to score the victory! Too Cool ran out to the ring afterwards to celebrate with their buddy. Mick Foley saw Triple H and apologized, saying that breaking up his marriage was not his intention. Hunter asked to postpone the match, and Foley said no. The Commish also said that the Game's new partner would be Trish Stratus! In a battle that pitted two former friends against each other, Eddie Guerrero and Chyna took on the team of Perry Saturn and Val Venis. After several attempts by Venis and Saturn to isolate Chyna, Eddie Guerrero got the pin on Saturn after a hurricanrana. As Triple H readied for his match, someone knocked at his door. Hoping it was Steph, he ran and flung the door open, only to find Trish, asking to be shown some more moves. Hunter just looked at her and told her to get out! Up next, the Big Show faced Kane. The brawling started immediately, and even Shane got involved on Show's behalf! As Kane got ready to slam Shane, Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit ran in to take out Kane. As the Big Red Machine got triple-teamed, the Dudley Boys ran out to even the score! Soon, Shane and his boys were scared to the back! In the main event, Triple H and Trish went up against The Rock and Lita. Triple H was obviously not happy about his paring with Trish, and he refused to even look her way initially. But after getting beaten by The Rock, the Game had no problem tagging Trish in. The Rock, not being one to fight a woman, immediately tagged in Lita, who nearly got the pin, until Triple H ran over and clotheslined her! Lita then took down Triple H and then tagged in the Brahma Bull. Triple H got to his feet and started beating The Rock, almost pinning him several times. The Rock kept coming back, and nearly pinned Hunter, had it not been for Trish's interference. Then, The Rock Rock Bottomed Trish and tagged in Lita, who got the pin. After the match, Rock nailed Hunter with a steel chair, knocking him into a very interesting position on top of Trish! The Rock was having the last laugh as RAW went off the air!
