, it reached a peak position of seventh on Billboard
's DVD Sales Chart.
. Although the stipulations resulted from votes by WWE fans, different wrestlers were involved in pre-existing scripted
feuds, plots and storyline
s, which led to scheduled matches in which WWE fans could vote upon stipulations. Wrestlers were portrayed as either villains
or fan favorites
as they followed a series of tension-building events. The event featured wrestlers and other talent from Raw's brand – a storyline expansion
in which WWE assigned its employees.
The main event scripted into Taboo Tuesday was fought in a steel cage match between Randy Orton
and Ric Flair
, in a match where the ring is surrounded by walls of steel, dubbed as a Steel cage match. On the September 27, 2004, episode of Raw
—one of WWE's primary television programs—Orton was eligible to face Triple H
at Taboo Tuesday for the World Heavyweight Championship
, if he were able to win a match against Batista, in which he did not succeed in winning. During the singles match, Ric Flair interfered on behalf of Batista. This led to Orton faulting his loss to Flair. Orton commented on every accomplishment Flair has made in the WWE and criticized him for calling Triple H the greatest wrestler of all. Flair retaliated to Orton's comments and stated that individuals like Shawn Michaels
and Mick Foley
are not legends, therefore Orton is not a Legend Killer, as to Orton's previous feuds with Michaels and Foley in a "Legend versus Legend Killer" match, a match in which a veteran wrestler is scheduled in a match against a younger wrestler. Flair also stated that he and Orton would meet in a match at Taboo Tuesday and the fans would have the opportunity to choose what type of match they face in. The choice of the matches were a Steel cage match, falls count anywhere match, or a submission match.
One of the featured matches was contested for the World Heavyweight Championship, in which Triple H would have to defend the title against the fans choice of three possible opponents: Chris Benoit
, Edge, or Shawn Michaels. At Unforgiven
, Raw's previous pay-per-view event, Triple H defeated Randy Orton to capture the World Heavyweight Championship. The following night on Raw, Triple H had a celebration thrown in his honor, complete with women, confetti, streamers and a giant cake. Orton, however, sought revenge, as he lashed out at all three Evolution members
(Triple H, Batista, and Ric Flair), a group of wrestlers, as he came out of the giant cake, which was placed in the center of the ring, and humiliated the group. On the October 4 episode of Raw, three candidates were named as potential contenders for Triple H's World title at Taboo Tuesday; Chris Benoit and Edge were revealed as two of the candidates. Shawn Michaels, however, competed in a qualifying match, which saw him defeat Christian, to become the third candidate. On the October 18 episode of Raw, a standard match involving three wrestlers, dubbed as a Triple Threat match, was scheduled between Benoit, Edge, and Michaels. Edge won the match, after he pinned Benoit by using the ropes for leverage. During the match, Michaels legitimately injured his left knee; which was later revealed as a tore meniscus
.
The other featured preliminary match was between Kane
and Gene Snitsky
. At Unforgiven, Shawn Michaels defeated Kane in a no disqualification match, a match where neither wrestler can be disqualified, allowing for weapons and outside interference. The next night on Raw, Kane demanded that authority figure Eric Bischoff
, a portrayed match maker and rules enforcer, give him a rematch against Michaels, but Bischoff refused to do so, as Michaels was occupied with appearing in Chris Jericho
interview segment, The Highlight Reel. Bischoff, however, scheduled Kane in a no disqualification match against an opponent of Bischoff's choice. Kane's opponent was Gene Snistky. During the match, Kane's scripted wife, Lita
, who was at ringside, entered the ring, which led to Kane accidentally falling on top of her, after Snitsky hit Kane with a steel chair, thus resulting in the match to come to an end. Trainers and Emergency medical technician
s rushed to the scene and took Lita away in an ambulance for medical attention. The following week, Kane was informed by doctors that Lita suffered a staged miscarriage
, following the events of the week before. On the September 27 episode of Raw, in an interview with Todd Grisham
, Kane informed Grisham that he sought revenge against Snitsky for his actions. The following week, Lita gave her first interview since the miscarriage and revealed that she and Kane would get payback against Snitsky. The same episode, Snitsky was interviewed by Raw commentator Jim Ross
and told Ross that the death of the couple's unborn child was not his fault. Kane interrupted the segment, though, Snitsky attacked Kane with a lead pipe
in self-defense. This led Bischoff to book a Weapon of Choice match, in which the use of foreign objects is illegal under the standard rules of professional wrestling, where the fans would be given the opportunity to choose the weapon for the match.
defeated Muhammad Hassan, who was accompanied by Daivari
, in a dark match.
The first televised match was for the WWE Intercontinental Championship
, in which Chris Jericho defended the title against Shelton Benjamin
, who won the fans' vote with 37%. The match started off with Jericho performing an enzuigiri, an attack that strikes the back of the head. This was followed with Jericho on the top ropes, which was countered when Benjamin jumped on the ropes and performed a superplex on Jericho. Later in the match, Jericho performed variety of signature move attempts, such as grabbing Benjamin's head and driving his face into the mat and springboarding the middle rope to perform a backflip, but Benjamin countered the attacks. The match came to an end when Benjamin performed a T-Bone Suplex on Jericho and gaining the pinfall victory and becoming the new Intercontinental Champion.
The voting results for Triple H's opponent for the World Heavyweight Championship were then revealed, with Shawn Michaels winning. The next match was a Fulfill Your Fantasy Battle Royal
match for the WWE Women's Championship
between Molly Holly
, Stacy Keibler
, Victoria
, Gail Kim
, Jazz
, Nidia
, and Trish Stratus
, an elimination style match where the last person in the ring is the winner. The first to be eliminated was Nidia, which was followed with the elimination of Jazz. Kim performed a hurricanrana on Victoria, a move that is executed by jumping forward and straddling on a standing opponent's shoulders, but Victoria countered the move as she sent Kim out of the ring, thus being eliminated from the match. Victoria was eliminated afterwards by both Stratus and Molly, after they double teamed Victoria. Stratus and Molly continued working together, as they got the upper hand over Keibler. Molly eliminated Keibler from the match. This led Stratus to catch Molly off-guard, as she pushed her through the ropes to retain her WWE Women's Championship.
The third match was between Gene Snitsky and Kane (with Lita). The match was a Weapons of Choice match, which gained 41% of the vote. The match began with Kane, as he grabbed a chain
and used it against Snitsky's head. Snitsky regained the momentum by grabbing the chain and swinging the chain onto Kane's head and proceeding to choke Kane with it. Back and forth action took place; the match, however, came to an end when Snitsky came off of the second rope onto a steel chair
that was wrapped around Kane's neck and pinned him for the win.
The next match was between General Manager Eric Bischoff and Eugene
in a "Choose the Loser's Fate". The match saw Eugene defeat Bischoff, after Eugene performed a leg drop
to get the pinfall victory. After the match ended, the audience voted that Bischoff get his head shaved. Jonathan Coachman
, however, announced that the audience instead voted "Loser is Winners Servant", in which he and Bischoff would be Eugene's servants for five minutes. WWE Chairman Vince McMahon
came out and reversed the stipulation and announced that Bischoff would get his head shaved. McMahon warned that if Bischoff did not go through it, he would be fired. Eugene shaved Bischoff's hair and Coachman was forced to wear a dress for messing up the outcome of the match.
The fifth match was for the World Tag Team Championships between La Résistance (Sylvain Grenier
and Robért Conway) against Edge and Chris Benoit, the two individuals who were not chosen to face Triple H for the World Heavyweight championship. There was back and forth action between the two teams, as all the superstars were able to participate in the match. Edge abandoned Benoit during the match, which forced Benoit to wrestle both members of La Résistance by himself. Benoit fought them off, and he was able to get the upper hand over Grenier. The match concluded with Benoit winning the World Tag Team Championship, after he locked his hands together and pulled Conway's face and pulling his neck backwards, a move which Benoit calls the Crippler Crossface, making Conway submit to the hold.
The next match was between Christy Hemme
and Carmella DeCesare
. The match was a Lingerie Pillow Fight, which gained 57% of the fans' vote. During this match, Hemme and DeCesare began hitting each other with pillows while wearing lingerie. The match ended when Hemme covered DeCesare to win the match via pinfall. The seventh match was the World Heavyweight Championship match, where the fans' chose Shawn Michaels by 38%, to face the champion, Triple H for the championship. Coming into the match, Michaels' knee was legitimately injured. Triple H used the injury to his advantage during the beginning of the bout, as he hit and targeted the leg, including applying a Figure four leglock on Michaels. Michaels would however, gain the advantage when he countered a maneuver by Triple H, which had him hit the steel ring post. Later into the match, as Michaels was about to perform Sweet Chin Music on Triple H, Edge interfered in the match and hit Michaels with a spear
. Following this, Triple H covered Michaels to win the match via pinfall and retain the World Heavyweight Championship.
The main event and final match of the night was between Randy Orton and Ric Flair. The match was a steel cage match, which gained 68% of the vote. During the match, both Orton and Flair managed to get the upper hand. A spot in the match saw Flair hit a low blow
on Orton and proceeding to send him crashing head-first into the steel cage, causing Orton to bleed from the head, the blood loss results from previous cuts that wrestlers perform before a match called blading. Orton regained the momentum by sending Flair into the steel cage, thus resulting in Flair to bleed from the head. The match concluded with Orton performing an RKO, a move where you jump to the opponent's head while parallel to the ground, applying a three-quarter facelock and then slam your opponent's head to the mat, Orton then pinned Flair for the pinfall victory. After the match, they shook hands.
. Orton did not receive the opportunity, as he lost to Flair. On the November 1 episode of Raw, Bischoff scheduled a traditional 8-man elimination tag team match involving Team Orton (Randy Orton, Chris Jericho, Maven
and Chris Benoit) facing off against Team Triple H (Triple H, Batista, Edge and Gene Snitsky) at Survivor Series. The winning team would be granted absolute control of running the show for a month, and the winning members would all get a week to be in charge of the program. At the November event, Team Orton defeated Team Triple H and the team were given the opportunity to be in charge of Raw for a week.
On the October 25 episode of Raw, a rematch for the Intercontinental Championship was scheduled between Shelton Benjamin and Chris Jericho. The match saw Benjamin defeat Jericho and retain the title. After the match, Benjamin was attacked by Christian, which led Christian to overhook Benjamin's arms and pivoted him to an 180º thus driving his face onto the mat, a move Christian calls the Unprettier. The following week, Bischoff scheduled an Intercontinental championship match between Benjamin and Christian at Survivor Series. At Survivor Series, Benjamin retained the Intercontinental championship.
In November 2004, Lita returned to the women's division. She began a feud with Trish Stratus after Stratus called Lita "chubby" because of her pregnancy weight gain. Lita challenged Stratus to a WWE Women's Championship
match at Survivor Series, however, due to the months of humiliation and being verbally berated by Stratus, Lita was more concerned with doing as much damage as possible, leading to her disqualification.
