WWF RAW 9/13/1993 (Manhattan, NY)
1. Earthquake defeated Koko B. Ware in 2:14 following a sit down splash. During the bout, pre-tape comments from Earthquake were shared as he says that he is a pissed off monster and a unbeatable force to be messed with here in the WWF now that he got rid of his dead weight keeping him down!
2. Kings Court w/ Lex Luger: Jerry Lawler introduces the new WWF World Champion, Lex Luger. Luger comes down to the ring with three women holding mirrors in front of him as he constantly has to see the championship around his waist. After Luger enters the ring and shows off the championship on his ripped body, Lawler begins the interview. Lawler puts Luger over the greatest champion in WWF already and says that Luger is truly the best. Luger thanks Lawler for speaking facts and says that he kept to his word that he would be the WWF World Champion. Luger tells Lawler that winning the WWF World Championship has been a lifelong dream and this dream will never come to an end because he is superior to everyone else in the World Wrestling Federation. Lawler lists off some names that have made it clear that they want a title shot, such as former champion Bret Hart, Ron Simmons, and the Undertaker. Luger tells us that anyone who wants a title shot can sign their name on the dotted line. He isn’t going to run away from anyone because he knows he will walk out the victor. As Luger goes to continue to speak, WWF President comes down to the ring to little fan fair and tells Luger that next week on RAW, he and other WWF officials will make a judgment on who will be the man to challenge Lex Luger for the WWF World Championship. Luger isn’t worried at all at the announcement as the fans are chanting for either Bret or Perfect to get the title shot.

2. Mr. Perfect Interview: Jim Ross conducted an interview with Mr. Perfect who got a warm reception from the crowd. Ross gives Perfect props for beating the man that impacted his life a great deal for nearly a year, Ric Flair. Perfect tells Ross that he would’ve gone insane if he was unable to beat Flair. He was close on several occasions to beating “the man” but at SummerSlam he delivered and won the biggest match of his career, at least up to that point. Perfect transitions into talking about Lex Luger, who he lost to at WrestleMania. Perfect says this has been a year of redemption and is looking to get revenge on Luger and there is no better revenge then by winning the WWF World Championship. He believes with the win over Ric Flair a few weeks ago, he has to be considered a favorite to get a shot. “If I get the title shot, Lex Luger, it is an opportunity I will not let slip through my fingers!”

5. The Undertaker defeated Davey Starr in 1:39 following a tombstone pile driver.
6. Tatanka Interview: Jim Ross tries to interview Tatanka, but he is cut off by Jerry Lawler who returned to ringside.

Tatanka ends up having enough and chops Lawler when he brings up how Chief Jay Strongbow should take away his headdress and give it to someone else.
