Quick RAW Results: Rico/Jackie over Scott Steiner/Stacy, Dudley Boys over La Resistance via DQ, Christian over Spike Dudley, Eric Bischoff over Kane via CO, Molly Holly over Trish Stratus and Gail Kim, Hurricane over Rodney Mack, and Goldberg over Ric Flair.
Last night, the RAW crew was in Des Moines, IA, with the unexpected victory of Christian over Booker T to capture the Intercontinental Title. The unusual title change is due to Booker T's injured back, and he may be out 6-8 weeks for recovery.

Tonight, the Smackdown crew is in Kansas City, MO, and tomorrow night, they tape Smackdown in St. Louis, MO.
