Monday, June 30, 2008 - OKLAHOMA CITY, OK

source: WWE.com - Monday’s RAW saw the largest crowd ever for a WWE live event in Oklahoma City, with 11,560 fans in attendance to witness Jim Ross’ farewell to Raw.

The night before, Kane had lost his ECW Championship to Mark Henry, so he probably wasn’t the best person to show aggression toward on Monday Night RAW. Jamie Noble, however, was hoping to impress Katie Lea Burchill backstage by issuing a warning to the biggest, baddest guy around, who happened to be the Big Red Machine. Kane, taking exception to Noble’s teasing, grabbed him by the throat and lifted him up for a chokeslam. Noble's foot found a mark in Kane's stomach and before you knew it, Noble took off like a shot. Kane took a moment, then made his way out to the ring.

At the ringside announce table, Cole said over at Smackdown, Noble had a bad habit of putting his foot in his mouth. Noble scampered down the ramp and tried to hide under the announce table but King and Cole were having none of it. Jamie hid at ringside and began to pray. Kane's pryo blasted and he strolled down to the ring. Noble actually dove at Kane and tackled him to the floor then stomped on him until KANE sat up and batted Noble away. Back in the ring, Jamie tried to put up a fight, only to have Kane knock him knock him to the outside where Kane grabbed him up into a chokeslam on the announce table. As Noble rolled off the table, Kane laughed maniacally.
