Shane O'Mac assaulted after being left to fend for himself in main event
The Legacy took on Shane McMahon to devastating effect in a 3-on-1 Handicap Match in Buffalo, New York, on Monday night RAW.
RAW general manager Vickie Guerrero threatened Batista and United States champion MVP with serious penalties should they interfere and so Shane O'Mac was left to face WWE champion Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase by himself.
Inevitably the chairman's son came out on the losing end as the nefarious trio took a steel chair and the ring steps to his ankle in a brutal attack, which could have far-reaching consequences ahead of Judgement Day.
Batista had earlier lost his chance to team up with Shane O'Mac because of a disqualification defeat to DiBiase and MVP followed suit with a loss to Rhodes.
Big Show also softened up former World Heavyweight champion John Cena some more with a vicious assault ahead of their Judgement Day encounter.
Unified WWE Tag Team champion Carlito overcame The Brian Kendrick in their first bout since being drafted to RAW, meanwhile.
And Kofi Kingston enhanced his growing reputation with victory over Matt Hardy, but the conquest came at a price as Hardy, battling with a broken hand, used his cast to lay waste to the high flyer after losing.
Finally, The Miz ended Festus' singing contest with tone-deaf songstress Jillian in cruel fashion and Mickie James gave Divas Champion Maryse a RAW kind of welcome, as she defeated the French Canadian Diva with a well-placed DDT in non-title action.
