With Extreme Rules in the rearview, we now look towards Judgment Day. Due to his constant appearance on Raw, RVD has been moved back to Monday nights in exchange for a Superstar to be named later.

Raw

Match 1. Jericho and Booker vs. RVD and Christian

Booker and Jericho were in the ring when Christian appeared alone. This began as a handicap match. Now RVD decides he doesn't want to appear on Raw? What gives!?

Match 2. Big Show vs. Matt Hardy
