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!
