DEADLOCK Podcast: Revisiting WWE RAW 2005 Final Episode on Spike TV, RAW Censored on USA Return, Tables Match Main Event

September 26th, 2005 is the final WWE Monday Night RAW on Spike TV. Spike had a few rules on this episode, do not talk bad about Spike TV and don’t mention USA Network. Next week WWE is doing a huge 3 hour episode of WWE RAW Homecoming on USA. Mr. McMahon comes out to open the show and thanks Spike TV for being good partners and promotes the next episode on USA! Spike TV producers didn’t like WWE mentioning USA on air so much that they started to censor the show. They mute commentary and throw up technical difficulty bumpers on the live broadcast. This only made WWE more upset and they start promoting the return to USA even more. Trish Stratus and Victoria battle for the WWE Women’s Championship, The Big Show faces Snitsky in a Street Fight, and Carlito and Chris Masters team up against John Cena and Shawn Michaels in a Tables Match in the main event!
