Christian Pins The Rock & Test Confesses to Calling the Cops on HHH – WWE RAW 9/4/00 Review

Test steps out with Trish and asks Mick Foley to wait. November 28, 1999, the night Triple H took the money, the power, and Stephanie, Test sat back. The smile on his face when those cops came. He made the call. Tommy Blacha and Rob Pasbani recap the September 4, 2000 Labor Day edition of WWF Monday Night Raw, live from the Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky, airing at 11pm due to the US Open on USA Network.

Foley opens the show with a full investigation, narrowing the spousal abuse complaint down to 373 suspects, then bringing out Stephanie, Angle, Chyna, and Eddie one by one. The Test reveal lands as clever soap opera with real nostalgic stakes. Triple H then immediately Pedigrees both Test and Albert in the same night and leaves them on the mat.

In the IC title triple threat, Angle knocks Chyna out cold with the belt. Eddie dropkicks Angle out, turns around, and finds Mamacita laid out. He chooses her over Angle. They fall together in a heap, the referee counts three, and Eddie Guerrero is the new Intercontinental Champion. The camera pans to catch a devious grin on his face while Chyna cannot see it, a reveal Tommy and Rob say undercuts everything the pairing has built.

Other major discussion points include:

– Christian pins The Rock with a Conchairto to close the show while Kane joins JR on commentary and delivers emo monologues about being dragged from the gutter and pain becoming your friend

– The Dudleys beat the APA and Kaientai in a tables match, prompting Tommy to push for consistent rules: one member through the table ends the match, and anything requiring both should have its own name

– Right to Censor kidnaps Val Venus after his promo defending personal freedom, and Lawler’s RC Cola live read accidentally plays over Road Dogg’s entrance promo

– Tazz is saddled with Midian as his mystery tag partner against Lawler and Jericho, King immediately rolls him up, and PMFG’s critique opens a conversation about why Tazz never found his footing in WWF

– JR announces Steve Austin will make a statement Thursday on SmackDown, the first Austin news in months, three weeks out from the TNN debut

– Tommy opens the episode comparing WWF’s late-2000 slide to the current moment in WWE, using a JP Morgan stock analysis and a Fightful report about Netflix executive pressure on the 2025 creative team
