In mid 2003, Eric Bischoff shared his Raw powers with “Stone Cold” Steve Austin. On his first night with power on Raw, Austin decided to bring back the Intercontinental Championship. He announced that the new champion would be the winner of a battle royal at Judgment Day. With the referee knocked out, Booker T eliminated Christian, but since the referee wasn’t coherent, Booker T couldn’t be announced the winner. WWE Hall of Famer Pat Patterson got ready to present Booker T with the title, regardless. But Christian knocked him out as well. As the referee was coming to, Christian threw Booker T out, winning the Intercontinental Championship for the second time.
