Preview: On the June 24 episode of
Raw, I.C. Champion RVD interrupted Lesnar's KOTR coronation by attacking
him from behind and knocking him down with the Van Daminator and the
Diving superkick. Later that night, Lesnar challenged RVD for the
Intercontinental title, which Lesnar lost by Disqualification when
Lesnar's agent, Paul Heyman interfered. Afterward, Lesnar nailed Van Dam
with two powerbombs including one through the announce table. On the
July 8 episode of Raw, Lesnar and Heyman issued a challenge to Van Dam
at Vengeance for the I.C. title, which Van Dam accepted. Afterwords, Van
Dam brawled with Lesnar and Heyman, ending with Van Dam nailing Heyman
in the face with a Van Terminator along with the steel chair in hand.
Later that night, during the 10 Man tag team match, RVD chased Shawn
Michaels to the back while being distracted, allowing Lesnar to perform
an F-5 on Van Dam onto the steel ramp.
Aftermath: A night after
Vengeance, Eric Bischoff decided to merge the WWE Intercontinental
Championship and the WWE European Championship into one, putting Rob Van
Dam and Jeff Hardy against each other in a ladder match. RVD won the
match, and the European Championship was retired. A week later, Van Dam
lost the Intercontinental Championship to Chris Benoit, who would then
jump to SmackDown!. Van Dam used his rematch clause for Summerslam and
brought the Intercontinental title back to Raw. [WIKI]
