DiBiase pulled down the top rope causing Bulldog to fall over it. Lex Luger came to ringside to offset DiBiase. Bam Bam Bigelow then came to the ring and attacked Luger. A four-way developed. Later in the program, DiBiase angrily and reluctantly accepted a challenge for Tatanka &amp; Bigelow to face Luger &amp; Tatanka next week on Raw&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>-During a Royal Rumble Update, a Bret Hart promo aired. Hart wore the Calgary Hitmen pink and black hockey jersey. He spoke about spending the first Christmas with his family in ten years. He said at Rumble he would prove he was still the best of the New Generation&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>(2) Henry Godwinn made his Raw debut and squashed Mike Kourey&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>-Video highlight clips of Hakushi (bless you) aired from his syndication bouts&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>-On &#8220;King&#8217;s Court,&#8221; Lawler had Diesel as a guest. Lawler, though, did all of the talking. Lawler said Michaels should be champion right now. Eventually Diesel interrupted him, told him to be quiet, threw Lawler from the ring, and wore his crown&#8230;<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-461000146\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>-Highlights aired of The Heavenly Bodies beating The Bushwackers&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>(3) Kwang squashed Rick Meyers&#8230; A clip aired previewing Komma&#8217;s debut&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>(4) Undertaker squashed Brooklyn Brawler.
