The road to Wrestlemania is an explosive one!

William Regal is in the ring tonight with Triple H, Randy Orton and John Cena on the red carpet. Supposedly for a photo opportunity. Each man will have a few minutes to say their peace about what is to come at Wrestlemania. John Cena speaks first, he says he's got a problem with Triple H. He did not appreciate the pedigree he received after winning his match against Randy Orton last week. Triple H responds saying that he wants John Cena in the ring at Wrestlemania. "At Wrestlemania you are going to get the same thing" says Triple H. Cena retorts with "I believe there has only been one clash of the Titans, and in that instance it was you who tapped out!" Triple H strips off the coat and eyes Cena with animosity. Orton then makes his statement. "I'm still champ." He brags. Orton is talking himself into a hole here. Both Triple H and Cena are going after the big mouth champ and toss him out of the ring. Then they go at each other. Regal just stands in the corner and out of the way. Orton RKO's both Cena and Triple H, to prove his point. The crowd may be chanting "you suck", but love him or hate him he's still the WWE champion. What a great way to kick off Monday night Raw!

Mr. Kennedy catches Randy Orton backstage bragging about how he's going to win the money in the bank match. That means he's going to be going for his title shot match at Wrestlemania that night. He just wanted to make Orton aware that he's going to lose at Wrestlemania one way or another!

Santino Marella and Carlito head to the ring accompanied by Maria (soon to be playmate!) They are taking on Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes for the World Tag Team Championship. Rhodes and Marella start this one off. Rhodes is really taking it to Santino tonight, but Santino does fight back. Carlito gets a tag in and he begins beating down Rhodes. Santino gets back into the ring and continues the work on Cody. Cody gets the tag to Holly and Carlito gets the tag from Santino. Holly is really taking to to Santino who gets back into this match. Marella is a victim of the Alabama slam and Holly and Rhodes win this one. Santino is angry that Maria went to go talk to King and JR during the match and he makes eyes at King like he's going to do something about it. (yeah right).

Todd Grisham is talking to William Regal about the main event tonight on Raw. There is going to be a tag team match between Mr. Kennedy and Randy Orton vs Triple H and John Cena. Chris Jericho interrupts Regal's statement, so Regal puts Jericho in a match against Jeff Hardy. If Jericho wins he will be qualified for the money in the bank match at Wrestlemania.

Jeff Hardy makes his way to the ring for his match against Chris Jericho. Jeff Hardy is already qualified for the money in the bank match at Wrestlemania, however if Jericho wins, he'll be headed to Wrestlemania too. Jericho knocks Hardy down a couple of times and Jeff takes Jericho down too. Both these men are giving it all they got. Hardy goes up top and flies high, but Jericho rolls him over and gets a 2 count. Hardy has nothing to lose in this match. Hardy slings Jericho out of the ring then tries to baseball slide into him on the outside. Jericho moves just in time. Both men slide back into the ring and eye each other. Hardy gets Jericho in the corner and goes for planting his feet into the sternum of Jericho, but Jericho moves and Jeff lands hard on the mat. Jericho capitalizes and tries to weaken the rainbow haired warrior as much as he can. A huge mid-air collision takes both men to the mat moving slowly to get to their feet. Jericho makes it up first, but Hardy battles back. A nice clothesline takes Jericho down. Jericho battles back from the corner with a boot to the head of Hardy. However Hardy gets Jericho into the corner and Jericho moves wrong and gets a crotch full of ring rope. Hardy then delivers feet to the mid-section of Y2J. Hardy goes for the whisper in the wind but Jericho shakes the ropes and Hardy lands crotch first onto the top rope. A swanton bomb lands on Jericho, but he kicks out in 2. Jericho counters Hardy and gets him into the walls of Jericho. Hardy makes it to the ropes to break the walls down. Jericho then stomps on Hardy. Hardy delivers a face first suplex to Jericho then goes up for another swanton, he misses. Jericho goes for the lionsault, and misses, it's getting crazy in there. Hardy gets an inside cradle but Jericho gets out of it. Jericho and Hardy gets into a roll up battle and Jericho is victorious finally. Jericho will be going to Wrestlemania!

Mr. McMahon makes his way to the ring to make a statement about his son Hornswaggle who was devastated last week on Raw by a very vicious JBL. Vince says that he made a mistake in allowing JBL to attack Hornswaggle in that manner. Vince is totally blaming JBL for this? I sure didn't see him jumping back into the ring to save the little guy. Oh my lord mark this date on the calendar ladies and gentlemen, Vince just apologized! Vince demands that JBL come out and apologize to Hornswaggle too. JBL makes his way to the ring and Vince gets right up in his face. "I want an explanation", demands the chairman. "You were not there to annihilate my son! I want an apology and I want it NOW!" demands Vince. JBL seems to be at a loss for words. He finally manages to get out "I'm sorry...that I didn't do it sooner! I have it on very good advice that Hornswaggle is not your son, it's a complete ruse. Your family is involved in making you look like a complete fool. Hornswaggle is Finlay's son, not yours!" JBL confides. Vince replies with "well that seems to make some sense, my family is pretty rotten." Hornswaggle had no idea that Vince was not his father, he never knew that Finlay was his father, but Finlay knew the whole time. JBL promises proof to Vince. JBL promises the next time that Finlay is in a WWE ring he is going to make him admit it. Vince is pissed and walks out looking stunned.

Triple H and John Cena have a pow wow in the back and Triple H tells Cena "try not to get beat tonight". Cena replies with "You don't need to watch my back, but you certainly need to watch your own!" (ouch!)

Umaga comes out to the ring in all his Samoan anger to take on DH Smith. For those of you who don't know, DH Smith is the son of the British Bulldog Davey Smith. Umaga kicks this one off and goes up top quickly and lands right on Smith. He the drags Smith into the corner and makes a mad rush at Smith slamming his head back into the ring post. Smith is being devastated in the ring tonight. He delivers a vicious Samoan spike to Smith and wins this match quick tonight. Smith never even had a chance. He's got a lot to learn and plenty of youth to learn it.

William Regal is backstage talking with Paul Burchill  and his sister Katie Lea. It seems that Vicki Guerrero from Smackdown has sent a letter to Regal inviting him to send one of his best over to Smackdown for a little match. Regal is thinking about sending Umaga. Katie says that he should send his fellow Britain but Regal says that he needs to see more from Burchill first. (Denied!)

Lance Cade accompanied by Trevor Murdock will be taking on Shawn Michaels tonight in a singles match (well as single as it gets with those two rednecks together). Cade starts off strong and knocks Michaels down quick and hard numerous times. Cade goes for an early three count but Shawn kicks out in one. Shawn gets Cade in a backslide, but Cade kicks out of it. Another near fall on Michaels but Shawn kicks out. Cade is standing over Michaels and turning his neck. Shawn battles out of that and delivers some hefty chops to Cade. Cade gets a nice knee to the face of Michaels slowing HBK down a bit. A boot to the face of Cade from Michaels in the corner gets Shawn a little reprieve. Cade goes up top and goes for the elbow, misses. Shawn goes up top for his elbow and he hits it. "That's how it's done"! He tunes up the band as Murdock gets in the ring trying to save his partner. Shawn gets Cade in a figure 4 submission and before Cade can tap Murdock intervenes and begins beating on Shawn. Shawn then delivers sweet chin music to both Murdock and Cade proving who the better man is in this instance! Cade was disqualified for interference in the match and Shawn wins it!

Shawn's celebration is cut short by Ric Flair a 2008 Hall of Fame inductee! Flair says that Shawn is so incredible and that he is so proud that he is being inducted into the hall of fame. Flair is the first active wrestler to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. There is only one thing that could make Ric Flair's career even better. Flair wants to wrestle Michaels at Wrestlemania. Shawn reminds Flair that the next match he loses it's over. "I will not be known as the guy who ended Ric Flair's career." Shawn says. Flair responds with "All that respect that you showed me last week means nothing if I can't have the best match of my life at Wrestlemania with you the showstopper." Shawn finally agrees to the match and they shake on it. So it's going to be Ric Flair vs Shawn Michaels in a career threatening match at Wrestlemania.

Mike Adamle announces two more inductees into the Hall of Fame. The Samoan wrestler High Chief Peter Maivia and Rocky Johnson. Both of these men are related to The Rock. It's The Rock's grandfather and father! (yay!) Rocky Johnson was part of the first black tag team champs in wrestling history and Peter Maivia was the first Samoan to win in wrestling history. These two fantastic athletes will be inducted into the Hall of Fame by none other than The Rock himself!

Mr. Kennedy comes out for the explosive tag team main event of the night. His partner in this match up is going to be Randy Orton. Triple H and John Cena are going to be their challengers. What a great match up that's going to turn into a free for all brawl rather quickly I can tell you that right now. None of these men like each other and they are all funning for Orton that's for sure. Can these two teams adhere well enough to work as units tonight? We shall see. (I like John Cena's new shirt, it's really cute). The commercial break messed up this match for me. When commercial break ends Triple H and Mr. Kennedy are in the ring going at it like crazy. Triple H tags Cena in and Cena goes up against the big mouth Mr. Kennedy. Cena "tags" in Triple H who gets knocked down by Kennedy who then tags in his partner Randy Orton. Orton begins the stomping on Triple H. Orton delivers a knee to the head of Triple H. Orton tags back in Kennedy who gets Triple H in the corner and works him over good. Triple H tries to battle back but he's not succeeding. Kennedy drives the head of Triple H into the ring post and goes for the cover. Triple H kicks out in 2 1/2. Orton gets another tag in and gets Triple H in a choke hold. Triple H struggles to get to his feet but makes it and battles back against Orton. Orton doesn't let that last long and knocks Triple H down again. Behind the ref's back Kennedy assaults Triple H. Orton drills Triple H face first into the mat and goes for the cover. Triple H barely kicks out. Kennedy gets a tag back in and continues beating the Game. A big boot to the face of Kennedy might buy some time for Triple H. Kennedy gets his tag first and Triple H doesn't gets the tag to Cena. An inverted backbreaker knocks Triple H flat. Triple H counters a sneaky RKO and gets his much needed tag to Cena. Kennedy is tagged back into the ring and Cena is lighting him up like Christmas! Cena delivers a huge 5 knuckle shuffle then sets up to deliver the FU, Orton interrupts and Triple H knocks Orton out of the ring. Cena then gets the STFU on Kennedy and wins this match for himself and Triple H. Triple H and Cena face off and Kennedy gets a mike-check in on Cena from behind. He exits the ring quick to avoid another pedigree. Triple H stands next to Orton and just glares. A bitter end to an explosive Raw!

Join me next week and let me entertain you!

Tough Love reigns supreme!

Triple H comes out to greet the fans after his huge win at No Way Out last night. He will go on to Wrestlemania to take on Randy Orton for the WWE Championship. He's pretty happy about his win last night. Last year at this time he was in a wheelchair recovering from his last quad injury. He has earned his moment of pleasure at this point. "The Game is back!" He says he's back where he belongs in the main event! Randy Orton comes out to say his peace on Triple H winning at Wrestlemania. (of course). The crowd chants "You suck" at Orton showing just how much they have lost faith in the champ. Triple H was the man Orton beat last year to get that WWE title. It's ironic that Triple H will be taking that title from Randy at Wrestlemania. Orton thinks it's jealousy that fuels Triple H's fire. "I've beaten all of the rest Triple H, so if you want to have your moment..." Orton gets interrupted by John Cena who got cheated out of the title shot last night by a cheating Randy Orton. "You wait one second...." Cena begins. Cena then calls Orton a liar and a loser. "Disgrace comes to the WWE title and it's name is Randy Orton. He lost he way into Wrestlemania." Cena is calling it as he sees it tonight folks. Cena wants a rematch tonight on Raw for that title. The winner will face Triple H at Wrestlemania. Orton doesn't like that idea. "I'll beat whoever is the champ at Wrestlemania, I don't give a crap which one of you it is." Triple H says. Out comes William Regal to resolve this issue. Tonight John Cena will fight against Randy Orton and if he wins Wrestlemania will become a Triple Threat match Triple H vs. Cena vs Orton. There will be a special guest referee in Cena and Orton's match tonight, and that special guest ref will be Triple H. (Damn Regal sure knows how to kill a good mood!)

Jeff Hardy comes out for a match tonight (he's changed his intro music!). It's a money in the bank qualifying match. Snitsky will be his opponent. (If Jeff doesn't win this I'm writing hate mail to Mr. McMahon. Just kidding!). Snitsky uses his long legs and big feet to kick Jeff in the corner. Jeff counters using his agility and speed to knock Snitsky off his feet. Jeff tries to go up top, but Snitsky kicks him right off the top turnbuckle. Snitsky dominates Hardy tonight and gets him in that bear hug submission hold. Jeff finally starts to power out of the hold but gets knocked right back down. Snitsky gets a cover but Jeff kicks out in 2. Snitsky kicks and stomps on the recovering Hardy. After last night at No Way Out there is no way that Jeff is at 100%. Snitsky then slams Jeff's back into the ring post. Three elbow drives by Snitsky and a cover, but Jeff manages to kick out. Snitsky gets Jeff into some interesting choke type submissions. Jeff makes it to his feet but gets knocked right back down. Jeff gets right back up and gets some momentum on Snitsky which allows Jeff to land a nice cross body. Jeff flies high and gets a whisper in the wind on Snitsky too. A big boot from Snitsky gets Jeff on the mat again as Snitsky countered the twist of fate. Jeff goes for a second twist of fate and lands it, he then goes up top for the swanton bomb and wins this match securing his spot in the Money in the Bank match at Wrestlemania!

Shawn Michaels comes out to make a very special hall of fame announcement. The WWE hall of fame induction ceremony will be the night before Wrestlemania and the first inductee of the 2008 class will be Ric Flair. (Tears of joy come to my eyes, as this announcement is made....it's about time!!!) 36 years of hard work, blood, sweat, and tears have brought him this far and he deserves every bit of it. WOO!

Paul Burchill being escorted by his sister Katie Lea to the ring will face Super Crazy. Burchill dominates Super crazy and wins the match in about three minutes or less. I have to love those filler matches.

Randy Orton is backstage trying to win Triple H into calling the match "the right way" tonight. "You can't play mind games with the man who taught you how to play those games." Triple H tells Orton. Randy Orton must have been crazy thinking he could get an edge with the Game.

Big Show comes out to confront the man who broke his nose last night on No Way Out. He was humiliated by the welterweight champion of boxing Floyd Mayweather. He was asked to come out tonight and apologize for his actions last night on the pay per view. He was asked to make a public apology to Mayweather. He asks Mayweather to come out to the ring and he does. The size difference between these two men is unbelievable. Mayweather says that he loves publicity and he's been a fan of the WWE for many years. He's sorry things had to happen the way they did last night, but being the best fighter in the world and when he's called out he has to retaliate. Big Show responds that he wasn't trying to call Mayweather out at all. Big Show apologizes to Mayweather and holds out his hand. Mayweather not knowing any better takes his hand and shakes it. Surprisingly enough nothing happens and Mayweather tries to leave the ring. Big Show stops him about halfway up the ramp, well since Show did what he was supposed to, now he's got something to say. "Even on my knees I'm still bigger than you, I could take you out if I wanted to." Show is getting overconfident now. Show challenges him to a one on one match. Mayweather pauses there and thinks about it. He runs to the ring and jumps right up in it. He's ready to go. It's going to be really hard to wrestle with that entourage in the ring too. "I accept!" Mayweather says right in the face of the Big Show. Mayweather acts like he's going to throw a punch and Big Show actually ducks. Dang! It's on now! I can't wait to see this match, it's going to be stellar that's for sure!

Another money in the bank qualifying match between Mr. Kennedy and Val Venis. Kennedy dominates Val Venis mightily. Kennedy gets Val's arm in a weird hold but Venis breaks out of it. Venis avoids a cover from Kennedy. Venis has been out with elbow surgery and apparently Kennedy is going to exploit that injury. A great forward face drop by Kennedy wins him a spot in the Money in the Bank match at Wrestlemania. Could it be two years in a row for Mr. Kennedy? Time will tell!

Mr. McMahon makes his way to the ring for his steel cage match with his little son Hornswaggle. Hornswaggle comes out accompanied by Finlay. Finlay gets in the steel cage and screams at Mr. McMahon that "this is wrong!" Finlay is beat up by JBL. JBL then handcuffs Finlay to the top rope forcing him to watch Hornswaggle get beat up. JBL makes sure Finlay doesn't get any more involved. Mr. McMahon takes his belt off and starts to whip Hornswaggle. Finlay is irate. Mr. McMahon grabs Hornswaggle by the collar and hits him a bunch of times with the belt then leaves the cage and leaves Hornswaggle in the hands of JBL. JBL chokes Hornswaggle then runs him into the steel at full speed. "Take it out on me!" Finlay yells. A huge boot to the head from JBL knocks Hornswaggle out. A huge elbow drop adds insult to injury on the unconscious little man. JBL isn't done yet. JBL picks up Hornswaggle and power slams him backwards into the steel cage. Finlay is trying to break his own wrist to get out of the cuffs. Mr. McMahon tells JBL it's enough and calls out EMT's for Hornswaggle. Mr. McMahon says he's sorry to Hornswaggle who is out cold. Finlay is still handcuffed to the rope. EMT's say he's barely breathing and he's got a pulse. A commercial break comes quick. (I don't think JBL meant to power slam the little guy that hard into the steel but he must have forgotten that Hornswaggle is not as big as most of the other guys that JBL torments.) Finlay was still screaming for someone to "help him" (meaning Hornswaggle) as the show went to commercial. Finlay is carrying Hornswaggle to the back as the show comes back on. I hope the little guy is ok!

Santino Marella and Maria come out for Maria's big decision as to whether it's going to be Santino or Playboy! 94% of the voters voted to have her pose in Playboy! Santino is very happy all of a sudden that Maria is posing for Playboy and announces that Maria will be facing Beth Phoenix tonight in a match as well. You can only pose for Playboy if you beat Beth Phoenix tonight. Beth powers Maria into a corner and manhandles her completely. Beth gets a cover but Maria kicks out. Beth delivers a back breaker to Maria who starts to power back with some right hands. Another cover and Maria kicks out. Candace Michelle comes out and distracts Beth just long enough for Maria to win the match. We're going to see Maria in PLAYBOY! (I'll be looking out for that issue, that's for sure!)

The main event tonight is the John Cena, Randy Orton match with Triple H as the special referee. Triple H calls for the bell and this match gets underway. Orton is powering right through Cena from the get go. A huge vertical drop kick by Orton lands Cena on his back. Cena is on the apron and Orton gets a running start at him. He knocks Cena off the apron and Cena's face bounces off the announcers table. Just when it looks like Cena isn't going to power back, he makes a little comeback. Orton then leaves the ring and tries to grab a weapon. Cena goes out and tosses Orton onto the announcers table then tosses him back into the ring. Orton gets a cover, and Cena gets his shoulders up. Cena looks to be in a bad way. He starts to power back again against the cheating champ and gets a powerslam for his efforts. Cena kicks out of the three count. Orton begins the stomping on all of Cena's joints. Orton then dives and delivers a knee to the temple of Cena. Orton misses the three count as Cena kicks out again, so Orton resorts to the choke hold to get Cena worn down even more. Cena delivers a huge sidewalk slam to Orton and buys a few moments. Orton then sends John's face into the turnbuckle. Cena is barely able to stay on his feet at this point as Orton barrages him with fists. Cena finds the strength to battle back and starts taking Orton off his feet. You can't see me finds it's mark as does the 5 knuckle shuffle. Orton blocks the FU and springs Cena's face off the top rope. Orton makes a run at Cena who's on the apron, but Cena pulls that top rope down and out goes Orton. Orton then rushes Cena shoulder first into the steel steps. Orton is stalking Cena getting ready for the RKO. Cena blocks the RKO and Cena gets the STFU locked in. Orton tries to crawl to the ropes. Orton makes it. Triple H breaks the hold. Cena and Triple H eye each other and Orton tries the cheap shot but Cena gets the STFU and wins it. Then Triple H delivers the pedigree to Cena and makes his point that he will be the last man standing at the end of Wrestlemania. Triple H has the title belt as Randy Orton is trying to get to his feet. Triple H then delivers the pedigree to Orton! Has the reign of Randy Orton finally come to and end? I have to say that I don't think his chances are looking very good at this point.

That's where Raw ends. See you here same Raw time same Raw channel next week! Until then don't be afraid to be entertained!

No way out? No problem!

Tonight's Pay Per View No Way Out promises to be brutal, bloody and spectacular. Two elimination chamber matches and many championship matches will be viewed by all of us fans sitting at home watching on the edge of our seats. So to quote the best duo WWE has ever seen DX, ARE YOU READY?

CM Punk from ECW will be in the first match tonight at No Way Out. He is facing the new ECW champ Chavo Guerrero for the title back. I have to admit that when Eddie Guerrero and Chavo used to run together, I loved them. However since the death of Eddie Guerrero a few years ago, Chavo has not been on my favorites list at all. He's just not the same. CM Punk seems to be in good form early on in this match, but never underestimate a Guerrero, Chavo gets him out of the ring onto the floor below. Punk makes it back in the ring and this battle continues. A barrage of kicks to Punk gives Chavo a slight advantage. Guerrero gets a leg lock around the middle of Punk trying to squeeze the life out of the past champ. Punk doesn't let that happen and he launches Guerrero into the turnbuckle. Punk gets a cover, but Chavo kicks out. A nice reversal with a hurricarana saves the fate of Chavo as he avoids Punk. Punk gets a second cover, but to no avail. Punk is looking for the GTS, but Chavo gets the ropes. The champ then finds himself on his back on the outside. Punk gets Chavo back into the ring before the count reaches 10 from the ref. These two battle it out on the top ropes, Chavo pushed Punk down and Punk rattles the rope and Chavo finds himself with the rope between his legs. CM Punk tries to counter but Chavo has another idea. Chavo gets the huge frog splash that wins him this match, retaining him the coveted championship.

Mike Adamle is interviewing Rey Mysterio about what happened Friday night on Smackdown. Mysterio and Edge went at it, Rey delivered the 619 to the champ. Rey then went up top and tried to take out the Rated R superstar but Edge moved out of the way just in time and Rey accidentally landed on the general manager Vickie Guerrero who had just accepted a proposal of marriage from Edge. Vickie will not be at No Way out tonight due to her injury. Rey says it was a total accident and that he will not say he's sorry again!

The elimination chamber match for Smackdown will begin next. MVP, Big Daddy V, Undertaker, the Great Khali, Finlay and Batista will face off for the chance to go to Wrestlemania to face the champion for a shot at the title. Undertaker and Batista will start the match off with the other 4 men in the plexiglass pods looking on for their chance to come out and play. The slugfest begins as these two awesome athletes wear each other down bit by bit. Undertaker presses Batista's head against the chain of the chamber. First blood has yet to be drawn, but I'm sure that time is coming. Undertaker is dominating Batista and slowing the animal down quite a bit. The pheonom kicks and stomps his opponent showing the other four competitors what awaits then when their pod opens. Batista fights back finally and gets Undertaker down on the mat. A quick cover, but Undertaker kicks out. Both men boot each other in the face and they both fall to the mat.

Big Daddy V is the next one to enter this match. He goes after the Undertaker but doesn't forget that Batista is over in the other corner either. He is simply manhandling the two superstars before him. It's easy to see that the 500lb man definitely has the advantage in this match up. V stands on the Undertaker with his full weight on the dead man. Undertaker turns a little purple but V moves and goes to work on Batista. Undertaker is knocked out of the elimination chamber by V and goes right out to the floor. Ouch! It appears that Undertaker injured his elbow in the fall from the chamber. V rushes and crushes Batista against a corner of the ring. Batista manages to get a spinebuster on the huge man! The Undertaker delivers a huge DDT to Big Daddy V who is covered and eliminated by Batista. Undertaker manages to get a shoulder up and avoid being eliminated too.

Khali is the next into this match up. Khali dominates both Batista and Undertaker right from the start in this match. Undertaker fights back and gets the choke slam hold on Khali who just shoves Undertaker to the ground. Batista then avoids a count out by Khali. Khali then manages to get the vice grip on the skull of Batista. Batista gets out of it and Undertaker then knocks the wind out of Batista. Undertaker gets a head submission on Khali who immediately taps out and is eliminated. Then there were 4! Undertaker and Batista continue the battle as the next opponent is revealed. Finlay is next in.

Finlay started strong out of the pod, however the Undertaker shows him who's boss immediately. Finlay doesn't stand for that, he gets the Celtic Cross on the Undertaker, after throwing Batista over the ropes to the outside where the steel awaits. Finlay's face meets the steel at the hands of Batista and it's getting brutal folks. A huge boot and clothesline to Batista by the Undertaker, takes Batista to the mat. Finlay tries to capitalize and cover Batista, but Batista kicks out. Finlay then battles Undertaker into the steel chamber. Finlay goes for the cover on the dead man, but Undertaker kicks out. Finlay pushes the Undertaker into the pod busting it wide open. Batista then takes on Finlay and gets a cover, but Finlay gets out of it.

MVP is the last man in and he's holding the sliding door shut as Undertaker goes in after him. MVP is taken out and down in his pod and hasn't even gotten into the ring yet. Batista and Undertaker go at each other again while MVP and Finlay recoop. MVP tries to get a cover on Undertaker and doesn't get it. MVP gets his chain and strangles Finlay with it. MVP then goes back to work on the Undertaker. He goes for another cover, as Undertaker gets up. Undertaker is bleeding from the forehead and these men are getting pelted by the fresh man MVP. MVP pelts Undertaker with fists but Undertaker keeps coming. MVP goes to the top of the pod and is tossed off by Undertaker. Finlay gets the cover and MVP is eliminated! Undertaker is on the top rope and tries to land on Finlay, but Finlay moves and Undertaker lands on his elbow again tonight. Hornswaggle appears from under the ring and slides Finlay's weapon of choice in to him. Undertaker then choke slams Finlay on the outside of the chamber on the steel grating. Finlay is eliminated. Batista is now also bleeding and opened up in this match. It's down to Batista and Undertaker!

Both men have got to be tired as they exchange blows to each other like a couple of boxers in the ring. Batista lands the Batista bomb and goes for the cover. Undertaker kicks out at 2 1/2. It's not over yet! Batista pummels Undertaker with a barrage of fists to the head, and goes for the last ride as Undertaker defends himself. Undertaker goes for the cover and Batista kicks out at 2 1/2. It's crazy! Undertaker then delivers some fists of his own to the skull of Batista. Undertaker is going for the kill as he tries to set up for the tombstone piledriver. However Batista knows better and tosses Undertaker over the rope to the steel of the chamber. The blood flows as these two men battle for a chance at the main event at Wrestlemania. As Batista is ramming Undertaker into the steel over and over, Undertaker counters by going back over the top rope, landing on his feet and putting Batista up into the tombstone. Undertaker wins this chamber match and will be going to Wrestlmania ladies and gentlemen! (And we all know he has never lost at Wrestlemania, so we'll be having a new champ soon on Smackdown! Will it be 16-0?)

Edge is back in his room backstage freaking out because Undertaker just won the chamber match. He tries to get his boys involved by giving them instructions on what to do during his match tonight, however Mr. Theodore Long interrupts the great plan in action. Since Vicki is out tonight he's in charge and the two rated R underlings are banned from ringside during Edge's match tonight against Rey Mysterio. Ha ha ha!

Ric Flair and Mr. Kennedy fight it out. Flair trying to keep his career, Kennedy trying to end it! Just remember Kennedy to be the man, you have to beat the man! Kennedy is a strong opponent that's for sure, however Ric has been doing this longer than Kennedy has been alive! It's experience over youth at this point. Kennedy remembers that Ric's knees is not at 100% and he goes to work on it. Kennedy gets a half Boston crab on Flair trying to get the Nature Boy to tap out. Flair gets to the ropes, saving himself. Kennedy continues to work that hurt knee. He's at least playing it smart tonight. Always know your opponent's weakness and exploit it at all costs. Kennedy gets a figure 4 around the ring post on an agonizing Flair. Kennedy then adds insult to injury mocking Flair. Kennedy tries to get the figure 4 on Flair, but it's not locked in completely yet. Ric is yelling in pain and I'm not sure how much more he's got in him. Flair again gets to the ropes. Kennedy gets a nice drop on Flair and goes for the cover. Flair gets his shoulders up. Flair then gets a cheap shot in on Kennedy's knee. Kennedy pulls Flair's tights almost off and goes for the cover. The ref notices that Kennedy is using the ropes for leverage, and breaks up the cover. Ric Flair gets the figure 4 on Kennedy and Kennedy taps like a little girl! Once again the Nature Boy lives to fight another day!

Mr. McMahon confronts Finlay backstage asking how Finlay is going to like seeing Hornswaggle in the steel cage match tomorrow night on Raw. Finlay is not allowed to be involved in that match or else he will be fired by Mr. McMahon. Poor Hornswaggle!

Edge and Rey Mysterio battle it out for the World Heavyweight Championship next. Mysterio comes out first. Edge then comes out totally confident like usual. Rey is fighting with one good arm tonight after admitting that he's fighting with a torn bicep. He must rely on his quickness and his feet to do the work for him. An early boot to the face connects with Mysterio and Edge capitalizes momentarily. Mysterio gets out of the ring and takes a little walk. Edge baseball slides out of the ring and battles Mysterio on the outside. Running Mysterio right into the steel steps injured arm first. Edge is working on that injured arm of Mysterio knowing that is his chance to win it all and retain his title. Edge goes for a full run at Mysterio who is hanging upside down in the corner, but Mysterio pulls himself upright and Edge slides right into the ring post nuts first. Two covers on Edge almost win it for Mysterio, but Edge is kicking out and using the ropes to save himself. Mysterio lands the 619 on Edge but is having a hard time getting up to get the cover. Edge then catches Mysterio in midair with a spear and gets the cover. Edge wins it quick and easy tonight. Mysterio must really be hurt to have this match over so quickly. I hope he will be ok!

Out of no where comes the Big Show! He looks really good! He's lost weight and looks very healthy! Holy crap has he lost weight! WOW! "Guess who's back?" He has really missed wrestling since he left. "I will be a champion again!" He doesn't care if it's Raw, Smackdown or ECW. He's going to make good on his word. So which brand is he going to be on this time, we shall have to wait and see. He's down to 180 pounds! He was over 300 before. He then grabs the injured Rey Mysterio who is being walked out of the arena, and makes a scene out of Mysterio. Rey Mysterio's friend who is sitting ringside goes in to help him. The welterweight champion of boxing bloodies Big Show's nose then makes a fast retreat out of the arena. Big Show goes after him but is stopped by Shane McMahon. (We will get sued are the words I saw Shane mouth) Big Show leaves the arena and is bloody and not too pretty right now. Mayweather hit Show three times to bloody that nose. Boxers don't play and a boxer could get in the ring and mess up a wrestler any day of the week, no doubt in my mind! I still love my wrestler's though!

John Cena and Randy Orton are bitter rivals who are competing for the championship tonight. 4 months ago Randy Orton sidelined Cena with a torn pectoral muscle injury that doctors said would take 8-12 months to recover from. Well Cena made him comeback a few weeks ago at the Royal Rumble coming in at #30. He wasn't about to miss his shot to go to Wrestlemania and tonight he's gunning to get his championship back, since he never technically lost it to Randy Orton in the first place. Orton was rewarded the title after beating Triple H for the title last year after Cena was injured. Cena is here to regain what is rightfully his and Orton is here to keep what he thinks he deserves. The lockup takes place and Cena gets an inside cradle on Orton right off the back. Orton kicks out of the first and a second cover by Cena. Chants of "Let's go Orton, Let's go Cena" fill the arena. Orton gets some good hits on Cena taking him from one corner to the other. A huge counter by Cena gets another cover on Orton, Orton kicks out. A fourth quick cover yet Orton remembers to kick out yet again. Orton chops his way to getting Cena on the mat. As he hams it up for the crowd, Orton almost loses his title as Cena rolls him up for yet another cover. Orton gets Cena in the ropes and battles him there for a minute. Orton tries to grab Cena's head, and Cena bounces Orton's face off the top rope. Then Cena flies high and gets another cover that Orton swiftly kicks out of. Orton then resorts to choking Cena to weaken him down so he's not so aggressive. Cena sets up for an FU, but Orton counters and knocks Cena back to the mat again. Orton then begins the stomp fest on Cena's legs and body. Orton does deliberately stomp on the surgically repaired pectoral muscle of Cena.

Orton goes for a knee to the shoulder of Cena, but he misses. Cena battles back but Orton gets Cena in a choke hold submission move. Cena battles out of it eventually and gets a running start on the champ. A much deserved 5 knuckle shuffle finds Orton unprepared. Orton tries to walk out of the arena, but Cena stops him in his tracks. Both men jump back in the ring on 9 as the ref counts down for the count out. A barrage of fists fly as these two men go at it again. Randy gets a nice counter on Cena then goes for the cover. Cena gets his shoulder up on 2. Cena flies high and tries to land on the champ but lands on his butt instead. Orton is now stalking Cena. Orton sets up for an RKO, but Cena counters and gets the STFU on Orton. Will this win it for Cena? Orton tries desperately to get to the ropes. Orton makes it to the ropes and the hold is broken. Orton leaves the ring again and takes a breather. He's on the outside screaming about his knee. Orton then gets the RKO on Cena on the outside as he screams about his knee. He then climbs back into the ring and the count begins. Cena is not moving. He climbs back in at 9 again. Orton then slaps the ref to get himself disqualified so he keeps his title. Cena tries to get the ref to reverse the call for the bell, but it's no use. The match is over. Cena wins by DQ. Cena gets the STFU on Orton who is madly tapping out but there is no ref to count it. Cena is pissed and has every right to be, he was cheated out of a real chance at the title here tonight. Cena's Royal Rumble win was in vain because he will not be going to Wrestlemania. Orton is so proud of himself, it really makes me sick! Yuck!

The final match tonight will be the Raw elimination chamber match tonight. Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Jeff Hardy, Chris Jericho, Umaga and JBL will battle it out for a shot at Randy Orton at Wrestlemania. Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels will kick off this chamber match. Just like the the Smackdown chamber match the other four opponents are locked in pods looking on as they await their chance to come out and make their mark on this match up. Michaels and Jericho exchange chops and then the counters and reversals on the mat begins. Finally both men are on their feet and Jericho gets the pin on Michaels who then bridges up to get out of it. A backbreaker by Jericho pauses Shawn for just a moment. The men go back to exchanging blows again. Michaels powers back and gets Jericho on the mat, Michaels flies high but is deflected by the knees of Jericho. Jericho goes for the walls of Jericho on Michaels, but is kicked off my Michaels who then gets a near fall on Jericho.

Umaga is the next man in and he immediately begins knocking down the two mean in the ring. Jericho gets tossed outside to the steel grating. The two men try to take down Umaga, but a double clothesline lands them both on their backs. Umaga then gets a double Samoan drop on both Jericho and Michaels! (Yes, he had them both on his shoulders!) Michaels gets kicked to the outside on the steel grating next. Umaga then headbutts Jericho in the chest. Umaga goes back and forth from Michaels to Jericho. Umaga tries to splash Jericho but Jericho moves only leaving Umaga open for a high flying elbow from Michaels. Jericho gets the walls of Jericho on Umaga. Shawn Michaels then gets the cross face on Umaga too, it's a double submission.!

JBL is the next man in and he breaks up the submissions that are being held to go after Jericho. JBL is brutalizing Jericho right now, while Umaga continues to beat on Michaels. Michaels is already busted open but Umaga doesn't stop. JBL and Jericho are still battling it out in the ring. JBL has got Jericho on the outside on the steel now too. Umaga takes Michaels inside the ring. He then kicks Michaels right over the top rope. Damn.

Triple H is in next. He immediately goes for Umaga, but then takes down JBL too. Triple H is cleaning house. JBL gets headbutted with Umaga by Triple H at one point. Umaga gets tossed into a pod by Triple H, then JBL gets a clothes line from Hell on Triple H while he tries to set up Jericho for the pedigree. JBL is eliminated by Jericho. JBL then takes steel chairs to everyone in the ring including Umaga. It's all legal. Everyone in the ring is down and not moving very well right now. Jeff Hardy should have his work cut out for him.

The rainbow haired warrior is the last man in tonight as he goes to work on his opponents. Jericho sets up as a step as Hardy goes up for Umaga. A huge boot to the face by Umaga knocks Hardy down. Umaga manhandles the Game. Michaels tries to power back against Umaga, but gets tossed to the steel grating on the outside of the ring again for his effort. Jericho gets his head put through a pod by Umaga's butt. Sweet Chin music finds Umaga, a jawbreaker from Jericho, a pedigree from Triple H and a Swanton bomb from Hardy takes out Umaga! Damn! Sweet chin music finds Jericho and Hardy gets him eliminated. A twist of fate finds Shawn Michaels, but Triple H tosses Jeff out. Triple H then pedigrees Michaels for the elimination then eyes Hardy. It's down to 2! Triple H and Hardy battle on the steel grating. Hardy gets a DDT on Triple H on the steel. Hardy is beating Triple H like a government mule. Triple H is busted open. Pure aggression from Hardy just might win him his shot at the gold. Triple H tries to set Hardy up for the Pedigree but Hardy counters and tosses Triple H back into the ring. Triple H finally lands the pedigree, but Hardy kicks out! Triple H is in shock! Triple H grabs a steel chair. He sets Hardy up for another Pedigree, but Hardy gets a low blow on Triple H, then the twist of fate of countered by Triple H and lands Hardy on the steel chair. Triple H gets the pedigree then a cover and wins this chamber match! Triple H will face Randy Orton at Wrestlemania!

That's it folks! This show is over and there will be lots to look forward too in the coming weeks leading up to Wrestlemania which is on March 30th! Until then, stay tuned in and let me entertain you!

John Cena RN?

I just found a little news clip about how one California classroom uses the likeness of John Cena to teach and keep students in the nursing program entertained and ready to learn. I have to admit if I had to go to class every day and look at a life sized fatboy of my favorite wrestler I'd be more motivated to stay on task too. Do your homework cause John Cena's watching!

Where does he find the time?

Everyone knows that Triple H is one of the headline events with the WWE. He has been a spectacular athlete and superstar for years now. With as busy of a schedule as the WWE presents I don't know where he finds the time for things like family. Speaking of family, I just read on WWE.com that Stephanie McMahon is pregnant again and is due to have her second child this summer. For those of you who don't know Stephanie is married to Paul Levesque (aka Triple H). Guess it's never to early to get the next generation on track because in a few years the current members of DX will be thinking about retirement, they will need someone to fill their shoes. Who better than their children?

I thought it was a great piece of news and I wanted to share!

Will there be a way out?

Hornswaggle is the first out to greet the Raw fans tonight! He will have a match tonight against dear old Dad Mr. McMahon tonight. This is a no disqualifications match and the stipulation is in Finlay gets involved he will be fired. Mr. McMahon taunts little Hornswaggle. It's not fair. Mr. McMahon offers Hornswaggle the first shot but Hornswaggle can't do it. He finally gets the courage to do it and slaps Vince a good one. Vince then takes off his belt. Finlay comes out and saves Hornswaggle once again. Vince grabs a microphone and confronts Finlay. "How dare you stick your nose in personal family business" screams Mr. McMahon. "You are about to throw your entire career away Finlay." Vince insults Finlay's decision to protect Hornswaggle. Just as Vince is about to fire Finlay, Finlay backs up and acts as if he is going to leave. Vince seals his fate when he called Finlay a coward and shoves Hornswaggle almost out of the ring. Finlay hits Vince a good one with his shillelagh, then sets Hornswaggle up to fly high and Hornswaggle gets the win over Mr. McMahon!

After the commercial break William Regal is backstage checking on Mr. McMahon. Vince asks for dismissal papers and tells Regal that tonight they are going to fire Finlay.

JBL comes out for his match up tonight against Chris Jericho. These two men have a deep seeded hatred for one another and the score will be one step closer to settled when this match is over I'm sure. JBL has a nice size advantage but size isn't everything! That's been proven in the past (all I have to say is Rey Mysterio). Jericho resorts to biting JBL's forehead. That's brutal. Jericho almost gets the walls of Jericho on JBL, but JBL makes it to the ropes in time to break the hold. Jericho then kicks JBL right out of the ring. He is enjoying his dominance tonight. A thumb to the eye buys JBL some time and he then gets a huge boot to the face of Jericho. Jericho rebounds off the ropes and gets a nice roundhouse heel kick on JBL. JBL fights back and gets Jericho on the mat. A clothesline from hell finds Jericho in a not so good way. Can Jericho power back from such a force? JBL stomps Jericho in the corner of the ring. Jericho finds the power to fight back, but gets a sleep hold for his efforts. Is it all over here? JBL goes for a cover from the sleeper hold, but Jericho gets his shoulders up just in time. JBL puts Jericho on the top rope and beats him senseless. JBL tries for the surperplex off the top rope, but fails and gets knocked down hard by a flying Jericho. The count begins but by 6 both mean are on their feet. Jericho goes right back after JBL. JBL looks unsure of where he's at right now. The missile drop kick almost wins it for Jericho but JBL gets his shoulders up. Another cover but JBL gets to the ropes to break up the count. Jericho can't seem to get the final say in this match tonight. A quick move by Jericho gets JBL on the mat and with a 1-2-3 he wins the match over JBL tonight! However Umaga comes into the ring and knocks out both men. Well so much for him being JBL's protection! Money is nice but it can't buy everyone apparently!

Mr. McMahon and Regal talk about what they are going to do to Finlay. Next week on Raw Mr. McMahon will take on Hornswaggle in a steel cage match. No one can get in and Hornswaggle won't get out! I think this is going a little too far with the tough love thing.

Wow now WWE has anti-steroid commercials. John Cena is the actor is this one. Nice!

Paul Burchell accompanied by Katie Lea comes to the ring. This is his Raw debut and he hails from London England. These two are brother and sister and whatever Katie wants Katie gets. Paul is taking on Brian Kendrick tonight to give Katie what she wants, her brother to inflict pain on someone. These two lock up quickly and it's a brutal meeting. A fantastic side arm takedown give Kendrick a nice upper hand momentarily. However that doesn't last long and Burchell goes right back to work on Kendrick. Burchell goes for a cover but Kendrick gets his shoulders up just in time. Man Burchell is brutal I'm not sure what the move was where he dropped Kendrick on his face, but damn! Burchell wins it on his Raw debut. (Since Paul Burchell is so new to the Raw roster, I don't have a bio on him yet to link to. Sorry! I'm sure I'll get it soon!)

Randy Orton comes out with something to say I'm sure. He's not dressed in ring attire so that means he's going to prattle on about No Way Out this Sunday on Pay Per View! (yadda yadda yadda!) The way I see it he needs to have his last moment as champ because after Sunday I'm sure he won't be. Luckily enough for me Orton is simply joining King and JR at the announcer's table to watch the upcoming match!

Mark Henry (world's strongest man) vs John Cena. After last week on Raw when John Cena beat Mark Henry in the arm wrestling match then dishing out a huge FU to the powerhouse of a man, I'm sure Mark Henry feels he's got a score to settle with the chain gang leader! Cena tries to start this match up, but he seems to be no match for Mark Henry. Henry dominates this match from the get go. Cena is whipped into the corner and his head hits the top turnbuckle. Cena fights back momentarily but Henry gets a submission hold on Cena (it looked a lot like the master lock). Cena manages to get the STFU on Henry and wins it! Orton better not count his chickens before Sunday! Cocky doesn't work for all superstars. Cena approaches the announcer's table and addresses Orton. "You don't have to look at me, or even stand up, but I advise you to shut up and listen to what I have to say. I am 100%!" Cena is confident because for once he's not the hunted....Orton is the hunted! Orton looks unsure for the first time in months, that just goes to show that deep down inside Orton there is a fear that Cena is the better man and will prove such at No Way Out. The big dog is back in the yard, it's time for all others to step aside!

Mr. Kennedy comes out to say something. He's not dressed in ring attire either. He is coming out to talk to Ric Flair. Ric Flair is either going to forfeit and retire or they are going to brawl it out one more time. The Nature Boy comes out sylin' and profilin' like only the Nature Boy can! I'm sure he's got all the answers for Mr. Kennedy. "So what's it going to be Ric?" asks Kennedy. "I don't think we are on the same page..." Flair begins. It's a history lesson for someone like Mr. Kennedy who thinks he's hot stuff and isn't good enough to even be in the same ring with a legend like Flair. Flair will still fight on Sunday. "I'm not forfeiting, the answer is no and I've been your world champion 16 times! I know you respect that because that's what you want to be once!" Flair replies. "You have a great future but not at the expense of the Nature Boy!" "Just like I have for 35 years I will get in this ring and I will live to fight another day!" Does Mr. Kennedy stand a chance this Sunday? Kennedy delivers a cheap shot to the already injured leg of Ric Flair. Kennedy leaves the ring delivering his message in a big way. I'm sure Flair could have to walk to the ring and wrestle with a cane to hold him up and be a better man than Mr. Kennedy! (I respect Ric Flair a lot can you tell?)

Melina makes her way to the ring accompanied by Jillian Hall for her match against Maria who is accompanied by Santino Marella. Melina and Maria get this match started with all the fire and brimstone of two feisty women! Melina gets an octopus type submission on Maria but Maria fights out of it. Maria gets a cover on Melina but Jillian interferes by screaming and kissing Santino long enough to distract Maria and allow Melina to pick up the win tonight. Santino blames it on Playboy. "Is it Playboy or Santino?" He issues the ultimatum. He gives Maria one week to make up her mind. He kisses Maria passionately and leaves her looking quite confused in the ring. Will it be love or fame for this smoking hot Diva?

The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels comes out for his main event match tonight against Jeff Hardy. Is it just me or does Jeff look a little out of it tonight? Maybe he's just tired. Shawn extends his hand to start this match off and when Jeff takes it Shawn delivers a huge chop to the intercontinental champ. The match gets underway in a brutal force that only these two men can deliver. (I am so tired myself at this point I keep forgetting to type what's going on....) The upper hand keeps changing between these two men. It's fast and furious as these two beat the hell out of each other. Hardy gets a third side head lock takeover in this match. A clothes line delivered by Michaels brings both men to the mat. Hardy takes the upper hand and is brutalizing Michaels outside the ring as well as inside the ring. Michaels counters Jeff's high flying off the rail with a power slam and it looks as if Jeff's mouth might be bleeding. (commercial time of course). We return from commercial and Michaels is beating the hell out of Jeff in the ring! Shawn goes for a cover but Jeff kicks out. Shawn keeps working on the lower back of Hardy which is already injured. Michaels gets a bow and arrow submission on Hardy but Hardy powers out with elbows to the nose of Michaels. A back breaker by Michaels lands Jeff on his back again. A nice neck breaker by Michaels might win it, but Hardy kicks out again! Michaels goes to the second rope and Jeff tries to block but ends up in a half Boston crab for his effort. Can Jeff get out of this or will he tap? Jeff manages to get to the ropes and the hold is broken by Michaels. Hardy gets a head kick in on Michaels taking both men to the mat. The count begins. By 4 both men are up and at it again. Hardy gets a cover but Michaels gets shoulders up. Are either of these men going to be able to fight at No Way Out? A whisper in the wind isn't enough even to win it for Hardy, Shawn kicks out just in time! Michaels goes up top and lands the elbow on Hardy. He begins to tune up the band! Hardy avoids sweet chin music, Michaels counters the twist of fate, Michaels gets the leg hold submission on Hardy and Hardy gets to the ropes. It's an insane match up tonight folks! Hardy delivers the twist of fate and goes up top to land the swanton bomb and wins it! AWESOME! This was a history making match that's for damned sure! (It looks as if Jeff's piercing might have gotten ripped or pulled causing his mouth to bleed.)

Tune in next week for more explosive action on Monday Night Raw!

Night of champions and challenges!

Tonight's Monday night Raw starts off with Randy Orton in the ring for his contract signing with John Cena for their match at No Way Out which is coming up soon! "John Cena's word means nothing to me, that's why I want it in writing" declares Orton. He says he doesn't want Cena backing out due to his previous injury which he just came back to the squared circle from. Cena is shown on the Titan Tron making his way to the ring. Orton sits at the table and puts his feet up like he owns the place and the crowd is on it's feet as Cena comes out! Cena wastes no time getting into that ring and he stares down the chump (I mean champ). Cena knocks Orton's feet off the table to make room for the contract signing. Tension flares between these two men. Cena signs the contract and tosses it back at Orton with no questions asked. "I guess I'll see ya in two weeks! However if Mark Henry tears that pectoral muscle of yours tonight in that arm wrestling match, no matter we are still on for our match at No Way Out." Orton explains. Mark Henry runs out and Cena turns his back on Orton just long enough to get a huge RKO from the champ. Ladies and gentlemen the mind games have begun!

Kelly Kelly from ECW makes her way to the ring for some Diva tag action. Her partner tonight is Mickie James. They are fighting against Victoria and Beth Phoenix. Victoria and Kelly start this match off. Kelly gets an early backslide on Victoria but Victoria breaks out of it quickly. Victoria gets Kelly off her feet and throws her onto the floor hard. Kelly gets the tag in to Mickie who takes it to the powerhouse Victoria. Beth shakes the ropes as Mickie goes up top, Mickie falls and possibly injures her knee a bit, when Beth gets into the ring it's on. Beth and Mickie bonk heads and Beth gets a tag in to Victoria. Mickie takes Victoria down hard and wins this match for herself and Kelly. She taunts Beth to "come on" back into the ring, but the Glamazon knows when to retreat. Mickie is proud of her win tonight and it's one step closer to that title!

Shawn Michaels makes his way to the ring and grabs a microphone. He talks about last year's Royal Rumble where he almost eliminated the Undertaker. He then went on to Wrestlemania where he almost won the WWE championship against John Cena. "I can't stand being in second place! I still find myself unsatisfied!" Michaels is putting all those contenders of the elimination chamber match at No Way Out on notice. Michaels is interrupted by one of those contenders Chris Jericho. Jericho grabs a microphone too. "I respect you as a person and a professional." Jericho says, but he disagrees with Shawn's assumption that he will win the chamber match. Jericho is convinced that he will win the chamber match because he's been in three chamber matches which is more than any of the other contenders! Well Jeff Hardy has something to say about that! He too grabs a microphone. "I think it's great that you too want to get back to that main event at Wrestlemania, but I have never been to the main event at Wrestlemania." Whatever it takes is what Jeff Hardy is going to do to secure that chance. Jeff is interrupted by JBL. JBL grabs a microphone and he's rude as usual. JBL always gets what he wants whether he buys it or takes it and he's going to win it because Umaga is guaranteeing JBL's safe passage through the chamber match. Umaga comes out to interrupt JBL's little speech. JBL thinks Umaga is on his side, he's a stupid millionaire. Umaga gets in the ring and give JBL "the look". Snitsky comes out too? He says they have all had their chances and that he deserves to be in that chamber match and he says if they don't give him a spot that he'll take one himself. Shawn gets in Snitsky's face and says he doesn't deserve squat and that Snitsky only deserves a good dental hygienist. All hell breaks loose and these men all go for each other. William Regal interrupts the festivities long enough to make a 6 man tag match tonight between these 6 men. It'll be Shawn, Jeff and Chris against Umaga, JBL and Snitsky. A little preview of the elimination chamber match.

 Mr. Kennedy comes out looking very unhappy. He has a match tonight against Super Crazy. These two lock up and get this match underway. A low drop kick by Kennedy to Super Crazy weakens him. Mr. Kennedy is really taking it to Super Crazy tonight. He's targeting Super Crazy's legs and using any maneuver he can to hurt his opponent. Super Crazy fights back for a moment but Kennedy gets an inverted figure 4 submission hold on Super Crazy and wins this match up. (He couldn't even do the figure 4 right, that's funny!) Mr. Kennedy makes a statement about the Smackdown event Friday Night where MVP reversed the figure 4 on Ric Flair and didn't hear the ref counting down and got himself disqualified. MVP then brutalizes Ric by taking out his leg on the steel steps and ring post. Ric had to be helped out of the ring that night because of the brutality at the hands of MVP. Mr. Kennedy taunts Flair, challenging him to a match next week on Raw. Kennedy is convinced that he will end the career of Flair and if not, then he will limp for the rest of his life!

Santino Marella comes out accompanied by Maria and his tag team partner Carlito. They will be fighting against Brian Kendrick and Paul London. Carlito and Kendrick kick this one off fast and furious. Kendrick explodes and knocks Carlito off his feet. Santino pulls the ropes open and Kendrick flies out of the ring. Paul London then chases Santino around the ring. Carlito gets a backstabber on Kendrick and wins this match up tonight. Santino didn't even have a chance to get into the match.

Mr. McMahon comes out to induct the newest member into the "Kiss my Ass club". Little Hornswaggle is going to be the victim this time. I hope Finlay comes out and shoves something up Vince's butt! Vince says he's doing this as a concerned parent and he's doing it out of tough love to show how much he cares about his kids. He insults all the parents that don't take care of their kids. He says that every kid in that audience is a spoiled brat! He says that every parent should make their kids kiss their ass literally. Hornswaggle comes out. He looks utterly defeated. Vince is really smug at this point. Hornswaggle gets in the ring and faces his "father". "I want you to listen to me, you must understand that I love you and you know that you brought this on yourself. You know that this is going to hurt me more than it hurts you." Mr. McMahon then starts taking down his pants. He drops drawers and hikes up his thong (ewwww). Hornswaggle can't bring himself to kiss the old man white ass. Finlay interrupts this session of tough love. "What is wrong with you?" Finlay asks. "I sign your paycheck Finlay, after Hornswaggle kisses my ass you can too!" I'm sure Finlay isn't going to go for it either. Vince drops drawers again and Finlay holds Hornswaggle back. Hornswaggle runs up and bites Vince right on the butt. Good job! I knew Finlay would help him out. Finlay you are my hero! Mr. McMahon announces a match next week between himself and Hornswaggle on Raw. It's a no disqualification match and if Finlay gets involved he'll be fired! Moral of the story never bite the butt that feeds you!

Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes come out to face Trevor Murdock and Lance Cade. Holly and Murdock lock up first in this match. Murdock gets the tag to Cade. Cade gets a nice side Russia leg sweep on Holly but Holly doesn't stay down. Murdock gets the tag as does Holly and Rhodes and Murdock are in the ring. A nice DDT by Rhodes wins the match for the tag champs tonight. Carlito interrupts the end of this match. New #1 contenders have been named, Carlito and Santino are now the #1 contenders. Holly is all for that and neither of the tag champs really looks all that threatened.

 Jeff Hardy comes out for the 6 man tag team match. His partners are Chris Jericho and Shawn Michaels. They will take on the unruly team of Snitsky, JBL and Umaga. Umaga and Michaels will kick off this explosive match up. Some heavy handed chops catch Umaga off guard at first. Michaels makes a tag to Jericho and Umaga gets raw on Jericho. Umaga tags in Snitsky who kicks Jericho around a bit. Jericho gets a nice spring board drop kick then tags in Hardy. Jericho assumes the position and Hardy uses Jericho as a launch as he runs into Snitsky. JBL gets a tag in and goes after Hardy. Brutal fists assault the rainbow haired warrior but Hardy fights back. JBL tags Snitsky back in. Michaels gets back in for his team. Snitsky smashed Michaels to the ground with a mighty blow. Michaels gets a submission leg lock on Snitsky, but Umaga breaks up the hold. Jericho gets in and takes Snitsky out with a drop kick. Hardy takes out JBL and Michaels takes out Umaga. These three clear the ring in nothing flat. (Commercial break interrupts my match darn it!) Snitsky and Jericho are the legal men in until Snitsky gets the tag to Umaga. Jericho is in the opposite corner from his team getting absolutely stomped by the opponents. Umaga gets a submission squeeze on Jericho but Jericho gets out of it, only to get a Samoan drop by the Samoan Bulldozer. The crowd is behind Jericho but he desperately needs to get a tag to stay alive in this match. Umaga gets a tag to JBL who continues the barrage of pain on Jericho. Jericho fights back but gets a huge boot to the face for his efforts. Jericho kicks out of the following cover. Snitsky is tagged in and he bear hugs Jericho. Jericho fights his way out of the hold and gets back down to his feet. Umaga gets the tag and he kicks Jericho over and over and exchanges chops with Jericho. Umaga goes to the second rope and flies at Jericho who moves at the last second. Jericho is going for a tag but gets stopped by Umaga. Jericho finally tags in Hardy who is facing Snitsky. Hardy gets a whisper in the wind on Snitksy. All hell breaks loose for a moment but Jeff Hardy gets the Swanton bomb on Snitsky and wins this match up for his team tonight.

John Cena is making his way to the ring for his arm wrestling match against the world's strongest man Mark Henry. Henry says that Cena has oil on his hands and refuses to start the hold. The ref checks and Cena is clean. Mark Henry gets a cheap shot on Cena at fist, but they the real match begins. Cena battles back from almost a complete loss over Henry and is winning when interrupted by Orton. Cena gets the FU on Mark Henry as Orton looks on in horror. Orton was trying to get another RKO but flubbed that attempt. Cena has Orton's number that's for sure and in 13 days at No Way Out Orton's number is up!

Tune in next week for more explosive action on Monday night Raw!
