The Undertaker wrestled in the main event against--Damien Demento?
One would have thought that the Intercontinental championship match featuring Shawn Michaels would be the first RAW main event. After all, it was the only title match on the card.

However, the main event duties would fall upon The Undertaker. That WWE put one of their biggest remaining stars (after WCW poached their talent) on the first main event is no surprise. Who they pit him up against, however, had everyone scratching their heads.
A former WWE writer just went after JBL for his comments HERE
Damien Demento had wrestled as Mondo Kleen on the independent circuit, and had a good reputation as a worker and a talker. He was signed to a WWE contract after a recommendation from The Bushwhackers, who were familiar with Demento's work.
His character was not exactly an instant sensation. To Demento's credit, he didn't back down from the Undertaker, and they two men put on a decent match, all things considered.
