WCW Thunder: (4/29/99) - No Raven Activity.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WCW Nitro: Raven vs. Scott & Steve Armstrong: (4/26/99) - Out come the Armstrong brothers. Then out comes Raven -- by himself. Tony Schiavone reveals that Saturn and Kidman were beaten by the Four Horsemen and thus sent to the hospital. Raven comes out by himself and gets a godlike ovation. He enters the ring and speaks of how he'll face the Armstrongs alone and compares his feud with the Horsemen to an opera; there is never one with a happy ending. The crowd completely is enthralled with Raven; they hang on his every word and recite his catchphrases with him. Raven does an easy roll-up on Scott after some doubleteaming by their team. He does a body slam on Scott, then a double arm bulldog on the two as they argue. Raven then goes outside and gets a chair. Scott and Raven lock-up, Raven whips him into the corner and does a back body drop. Raven then gives both arm drag takedowns.
Raven then gets the chair and holds it to the crowd for approval. He sets it up in the middle of the ring. Drop-Toe-Holds for everybody! Anytime Raven gets knocked out, the audience started booing. Raven gets up and hits running knee lifts on each of them. Raven starts hitting Scott on the turnbuckle, then does the same to Steve. Raven gets a boot to the face from Scott. Raven then DDT's Scott, but as he goes for the pin, Steve nails him with a chair and The Armstrongs pin Raven. This match was important because it established that Raven's character is in part based on the nobility he suffers in loss.
WINNERS: Scott and Steve Armstrong via Pinfall.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WCW Thunder: Raven, Saturn & Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Benoit, Malenko, & Kidman: (4/22/99) - Neither Rey nor Kidman wanted to wrestle each other in this match. Raven's team was the most popular team with the crowd. As the match went back and forth, inside and outside of the ring, Arn Anderson came into the ring and gave Rey Mysterio Jr. a spine-buster, knocking him out. Kidman then refused to pin him, so Arn hit him, and Chris Benoit threw Kidman on top of Rey Mysterio, Jr. for the pin. The Four Horsemen left the ring immediately, along with referee Charles Robinson.
WINNERS: Benoit, Malenko, & Kidman via Pinfall.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WCW Monday Nitro: Raven vs. Kidman: (4/19/99) -This is a match that's been a long time in the making, ever since Kidman turned on Raven at WCW Fall Brawl 1998. Lots of early reversals in this match, Kidman gets a head scissors on Raven after Raven misses a clothesline. Raven then whips Kidman and tries a powerbomb, but Kidman reverses it into a facebuster. Kidman goes for a pin but just gets a 2 count. Kidman tries to suplex Raven, but Raven turns it into a face plant. Two count on Kidman by Raven. Raven whips Kidman into the ropes, does a runningkneelift on him and throws him over the top rope. Raven gets a chair, holds it out to the crowd and gets a huge pop. He sets it up and lands a drop toe hold on Kidman. He then sets it up and does a guillotine leg drop on Kidman's face. Raven then goes for a top rope superplex but Kidman reverses it and Raven lands on the chair. Kidman then hits the Shooting Star Press on Raven. But he gets taken out by the move as well. The Horsemen then run-in and start beating on Kidman and Raven. Saturn and Rey Jr. jump in to clean house. Saturn and Rey confront each other and Saturn says he's just helping Raven. Saturn then clothelines Rey, Rey does a headscissors on Saturn. Kidman then does a Liger bomb on Saturn, and Raven then evenflows Kidman! The Horsemen run in again and start beating on all of them! Then Nitro cuts to commercial and we last see them fighting.
WINNER: No Contest.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WCW Saturday Night: Raven/Perry Saturn vs. Damian/Silver King: (4/17/99) - "What Are You Lookin' At -- The next WCW World Tag Team Champions!" Raven and Saturn completely dominated this tag team match against two of the best Mexican luchadores in WCW. Some high flying stuff by Saturn early on. Raven landed a running knee-lift on Dandy after Saturn whipped him into the ropes, later on he also landed a front face plant power bomb on Dandy. Saturn and Raven even landed Total Elimination on Dandy, Saturn's old tag team finisher in ECW. Saturn then suplexed Damian as Raven evenflowed Dandy for the win. Awesome match by Raven.
WINNERS: Raven and Perry Saturn via Pinfall.
Raven/Saturn run-in/Horsemen vs. Mysterio & Kidman: A really intense match between the two teams with lots of interference by Arn Anderson on the outside. As Kidman was going for the Shooting Star Press, Arn Anderson knocks Kidman off the top rope. The Horsemen then start dogpiling the Tag Champs. Raven runs in with a chair and breaks up the fight. Raven grabs Dean Malenko and evenflows him on the chair. Rey Mysterio Jr, then runs in and does a moonsault on Raven while Raven has the steel chair on top of him! Saturn is wailing away on Benoit in the meanwhile, but Kidman then gets the upperhand and beats Saturn and Benoit up some. The Horsemen leave as Raven and Saturn and Kidman and Rey Jr. have a stand-off in the middle of the ring. I can see why WCW gave the tag straps to them because it makes for more exciting matches. I think at Slamboree all the teams will have a 3 way dance for the belts to settle the feud.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WCW Thunder: Raven and Saturn vs. Disorderly Conduct: (4/16/99) - Raven and Saturn come out to Raven's theme music. Raven sits in the corner and grabs the microphone. He says he hasn't been on the microphone much lately and only has one thing to say: "What about Me! What About Raven!" Raven then asks Mr. Saturn if he would like to say anything. Saturn replies "Indubitably, I would like to accessorize my new attire with the World Tag Team Titles." Raven and Saturn then completely annihilate Disorderly Conduct, making sure that Tuff Tom and Mean Mike don't advance in the tag team title scene. Raven did his trademark drop toe hold on the steel chair after holding the chair out to the fans for approval. Raven then evenflowed the weary Mean Mike for the win as Saturn took out Tuff Tom.
WINNERS: Raven and Perry Saturn via pinfall.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WCW Monday Nitro: Rey Mysterio Jr. vs. Juventud Guerrera: (4/12/99) - Rey Jr. hits a huracanrana on Juventud Guerrera. Just as he does that, Benoit and Malenko come to the ring to beat up on Rey Mysterio Jr. Raven and Saturn run to ringside and help Rey Jr. fight off the Horsemen. However, Rey Jr. snaps and starts attacking Raven and Saturn. The last thing shown before Nitro goes to commercial is Rey Jr. clotheslining Saturn. Later, Rey Jr. confronts Kidman and asks him why he wasn't watching his back, which seems to start friction between the two.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WCW Spring Stampede: Raven and Saturn vs. Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko: (4/11/99) - Arn Anderson helped Chris Benoit and Dean Malenko throughout a match that was officiated by Charles Robinson, Ric Flair's pet referree. Dean Malenko had the Texas Cloverleaf on Raven, but was unsuccessful at taking the win. At one point during the match, Raven put Dean Malenko through the Evenflow DDT, but Chris Benoit made the save. A chair was thrown in the ring which would play a later role in this match. Perry Saturn almost put Malenko through a table with the Death Valley Driver, but Arn Anderson made the save, causing Saturn to crash through the wood. Later, Anderson came in the ring and clocked Saturn with the chair. Chris Benoit did an amazing diving headbutt onto Raven on a steel chair, to let Malenko make the pin on Raven. 1 2 3. The Horsemen beat Raven and Saturn, with the Horsemen clearly defined as heels and Raven getting a massive fan ovation behind him. Benoit also bloodied himself with the steel chair dive, so this match was pretty hardcore.
WINNErS: Benoit/Malenko via Pinfall.

WINNER: Raven via Disqualification.

WCW Nitro: Raven Backstage Interview: (4/5/99) - This was only if you had Backstage Blast on Direct TV or were listening to WCW Nitro Online. Raven and Saturn were talking with Jimmy Barron about why he hates Benoit so much and that Kidman and Rey Jr. will be easy pickings for them. Raven and Saturn were jovial throughout the interview and cocky as well.
Raven and Perry Saturn vs. Rey Mysterio Jr. and Billy Kidman: The new Nitro set looked awesome. The new title cards for the wrestlers names are probably one of the best parts of the new design. Raven and Saturn came out with red lighting to show off their "heelish" nature. Raven and Saturn dominate the match early, but let Rey Jr. and Kidman get their wind back a lot. Raven and Saturn hit a version of the Doomsday Device on Rey Jr., except Saturn hits him with a guillotine legdrop instead.

Lots of fast exchanges between the teams at this point. The ref gets knocked out. Rey is DVD'd by Saturn, but the ref is out! The Horsemen run in and attack Saturn!! Malenko suplexes Saturn as Benoit goes up and hits a flying headbutt on him! Saturn is out. The Horsemen put Rey on Saturn for the pin as Kidman wakes up the ref. The Horsemen rob Raven of his chance for a World Title victory, but it sets up a feud for Spring Stampede.
WINNERS: Rey Mysterio Jr. and Billy Kidman via Pinfall.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WCW Saturday Night: Raven/Saturn vs. Scott Armstrong/Silver King: (4/3/99) - Armstrong dyed his hair blond for his match. Him and SK make a weird pair. Whoever booked them as a team must have done it on the spot, because they had a weird chemistry in the ring. Saturn and Raven come out to "The Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson. Raven seems like more of an evil character when he came out to that theme for some reason. Saturn hits a guillotine legdrop on Scott Armstrong at one point after SK and Scott Armstrong have their way with with Raven at the beginning. Raven finally evenflows Silver King for the win.
WINNERS: Raven and Perry Saturn via pinfall.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Both were asked what they were doing back together after they split once before. Raven mentioned that he and Saturn used to always pick on girl in summer camp named Beulah McGillicutty.
