5 WWE Superstars defeated by Eric Bischoff

#4 Eric Bischoff & Molly Holly def. Matt Hardy & Lita (WWE Monday Night RAW - November 17th 2003)

Eric Bischoff fired Lita from WWE Monday Night RAW in 2003

WWE Monday Night RAW was a big power trip for General Manager Eric Bischoff. After vanquishing his long-time rival, and former Co-General Manager, Stone Cold Steve Austin at Survivor Series, Eric Bischoff was once again in sole control of RAW.

The following night on RAW, Bischoff was beaming with joy as he threw his weight around.

During this episode of RAW, Chris Jericho hosted another edition of his Highlight Reel talk show. The guest on this episode was WWE Superstar Lita. The former Women's Champion had lost in her Women's Title match against Molly Holly the night prior. Jericho once again reminded her of this.

However, things quickly got better for Lita when Chris Jericho brought out Matt Hardy, who had just signed with RAW.

Matt Hardy entered the ring and got down on one knee, hinting he was set to propose to his long-term girlfriend. However, they were interrupted by Women's Champion Molly Holly.

After a back and forth argument, it was announced that Matt Hardy and Lita would team up to face Molly Holly and RAW General Manager Eric Bischoff in a mixed tag team match later that night.

Just..wow. Overwhelmed with so many great people here. I try to thank those with so many kind words, but today it’s going to be hard to keep up. If I fail to thank you individually, just know how much this means to me and my family. A sincere thank you to each of you.

Once the match began, it was obvious that the fix was in. Lita attempted to tag in her boyfriend, but Matt Hardy dropped from the apron, abandoning his partner. Eric Bischoff quickly took advantage and pinned Lita from behind.

Devastated by the betrayal of her boyfriend, Lita was then informed by Eric Bischoff that she had been fired from WWE Monday Night RAW. Lita remained in the ring in tears while Bischoff laughed with joy, once again throwing his authority around on the red brand.
