National Wrestling Alliance: Total Nonstop Action [January 22, 2003 - Present] Following Raven's loss to Jeff Jarrett, he disappeared from TNA for a time, until he came back and got his revenge on Sabu by costing him the chance to be number one contender at Anarchy in the Asylum on May 7, 2003. Raven starts to become a fan favorite in his pursuit of Jarrett and on June 11, 2003, he is once again placed in a position to achieve his destiny in a three way dance against AJ Styles & Jeff Jarrett. Raven has Jarrett pinned when 'The Franchise' Shane Douglas interjects himself & costs Raven the match and his destiny! Ultimately, it's discovered that Shane Douglas is a minion of Father James Mitchell of The Disciples of The New Church in his agenda to take out Raven for Raven's actions in taking Mortis from him in WCW & abandoning his Unholy Alliance in ECW. Raven decides to take out Mitchell & Douglas with the help of The Gathering, including his latest recruit CM Punk, who replaces Alexis who Mitchell takes out of TNA after a kidnapping attempt. Raven's quest at revenge is repeatedly foiled by a mysterious man in white in the seeming employ of Mitchell's New Church. To combat this, Raven challenges Douglas in a hair vs. hair match to settle it between them. As Raven has Douglas beat, the lights go out and Raven is attacked by the mystery man who reveals himself as Vampiro, Raven's former protege in the Dead Pool in WCW. As Raven looks on in stunned surprise at this unforeseen betrayal, Vampiro hits Raven with his own Evenflow DDT allowing Shane Douglas to get the pin on Raven. Vampiro, Douglas & Mitchell then scalp Raven down to the bone with a pair of sheep shearers. From this point, Raven declares a war to annihilate Mitchell & his New Church one by one.>>
