Do you want to play the Game?

Tonight's Monday Night Raw starts off with Chris Jericho and the fantastic Highlight Reel. His guest tonight is none other than the Big Show. Big Show and Jericho exchange insults and out of all that comes a match tonight between the two icons, for the intercontinental championship. It's on and it's going to be huge, no pun intended.

Mr. McMahon challenges Ric Flair to a match tonight because he thinks it's the perfect end to his fantastic past few days. He has his name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (right next to Kermit the Frog by the way),WWE stocks are up and he's feeling quite super. Will tonight be the night that Ric Flair will have to hang up the boots, or will he live to fight another battle come Wrestlemania?

Carlito and CM Punk face off in a singles match tonight. CM Punk is the crowd favorite as the former champion of ECW. Carlito has a lot to prove about what he'll bring to the Money in the Bank match at Wrestlemania in 13 days! Carlito is really showing some dominance in this match, but CM Punk has a few unique counters and moves of his own to keep Carlito on his toes. Carlito gets a huge neckbreaker on Punk that I'm sure is the deciding factor in this match, but CM Punk refuses to stay down, he's battling back like a true champ. CM Punk gets his sleeper on Carlito and wins this match proving that he's going to be a force to be reckoned with come Wrestlemania. Carlito better gets his priorities in check!

William Regal announces tonight that Umaga will be in action once again proving his supreme nature as the most dominant man in the WWE industry. Umaga is taking on Brian Kendrick and Paul London. Umaga takes it to these two men like nothing I've ever seen. As Umaga delivers a huge Samoan Spike to Paul London Brian Kendrick is seen leaving the ring. He did not try to save his partner in this match at all. Could it be because he knew that after that double Samoan drop that he had no chance, or is there something else going on between these two men? A break down in the ranks possibly? Time will tell.

Triple H and William Regal have a discussion about Triple H being in charge tonight. Triple H is content with the match that he's made for Randy Orton and John Cena tonight. Regal asks why Triple H doesn't just strip Orton of the title and take it tonight? "There's no satisfaction in that." Triple H replies. Triple H knows that he's going to be getting the championship at Wrestlemania so he's just biding his time until then.

Ric Flair finds Shawn Michaels backstage and totally reams him out for being there tonight. He states quite surely that he does not want Michaels help in his match tonight against Mr. McMahon, he can fight his own battles. He doesn't want to even see Shawn until Wrestlemania! Shawn doesn't look happy at that decision by Flair and I'm sure he will do things his own way because the heart break kid doesn't play by the rules he makes and breaks them!

JBL enters the ring via his moo mobile. In the past weeks with his actions towards Hornswaggle and Finlay I'm sure that this is going to be an interesting appearance by the monster JBL. He calls out Colin Delaney who is yet another Irishman who loves to fight. He's going to be taking on JBL in lieu of Finlay not being available. Delaney is from ECW and he's a hot item. JBL absolutely dominates the young Irishman and I'm sure that Finlay is watching and gets the message loud and clear. JBL wins it with a huge clothesline from Hell.

Ric Flair makes his way to the ring for his match against the chairman of the board Mr. McMahon! Mr. McMahon looks ready for this match and he's smiling in all his recent big headed glory. Will the luck of the Irish be smiling on Mr. McMahon tonight? This street fight will be an anything goes match and there are no disqualifications or count outs in this match. Ric Flair takes it to Vince right off the bat, and gets beat on the announcers table as King and JR try to call this match while Vince avoids all the electrical cords. Flair keeps taking the fight to McMahon and it goes out into the crowd. Flair corrals the chairman back towards the ring but Mr. McMahon counters and manages to gets Flair's head slammed into the ring post. Mr. McMahon starts taking the rest of the announcers table apart and grabs a television monitor and hits Flair square in the face with it. Flair pours blood and the chairman pounds fists into him. Vince goes for the cover, but Flair gets his shoulders up just in time. Vince then goes under the ring and grabs a garbage can. He hits Flair right in the head with that as well. Vince goes for the cover, but Flair gets his shoulders up yet again. Mr. McMahon goes back under the ring looking for his next weapon of choice. A Kendo stick is his choice. Mr. McMahon gets two shots on Flair's head with the stick and goes for the cover. Flair kicks out. Again Vince goes weapon shopping. A steel chair? Square to the head of Flair, but Shawn Michaels runs out and stops the count. Michaels is sent backstage and not allowed to interfere. Vince grabs a table from under the ring at this point. Flair is still laid out in the center of the ring. A low blow by Flair buys him some time, an second low blow begins the retaliation of Flair! Flair goes up top and crashed through the table and Mr. McMahon winning this match! The Nature Boy lives to fight another day folks! Never underestimate the power of the dirtiest player in the game. (Are you seeing stars there Mr. McMahon?)

Maria and Candace Michelle are going to see action tonight in the ring. They will be taking on Jillian and Victoria. Santino Marella comes out as well. I'm sure he's trying to distract Maria. He joins JR and King at the announcers table. Maria and Jillian start off this match up. Jillian gets a tag to Victoria who shows Maria some dominance. Victoria goes for a standing moonsault but Maria gets her knees up and gets a tag in on her partner Candace Michelle. Candace takes it to Jillian and Victoria. Victoria goes for a cover but Candace gets her shoulders up. Jillian gets into the ring and goes high risk and fails. Candace gets the cover on Jillian and wins this match up. Santino insults King and throws a drink in his face. After a few good hits in on the King Santino grabs his sandwich and runs away, joining Jillian and Victoria on the ramp. What a jerk!

Chris Jericho makes his way to the ring for his match tonight against the largest athlete in the world right now, Big Show. Big Show is really taking it to Jericho but Jericho gets a moment when Big Show's own momentum takes him over the top ropes. Jericho goes for the baseball slide, but gets tossed into the retaining wall instead. Jericho could be in trouble here. Big Show goes to the second rope and is going to try to land on Jericho, luckily Jericho moves just in time. A moonsault gets a Jericho a two count. Jericho retains the title by getting himself disqualified. Big Show delivers a huge right hand to Jericho and Jericho is out cold. Big Show may have lost this match tonight, but he just might win the war against Floyd Money Mayweather at Wrestlemania!

Randy Orton and John Cena talk backstage about their match tonight against the other superstars. They exchange some heated words at Orton demands the Cena just lay down and take one for the team so no one gets hurt tonight. Cena is pissed and refuses to go out and lose on purpose. This is going to be one interesting match. Triple H joins them and tells them the rules of the match then adds, "I'm rooting for you in this match." Just more head games from the cerebral assassin.

Orton comes out first for this explosive main event. It's a 17 on 2 handicapped match, as announced by Lillian Garcia. Cena comes out second and is the obvious crowd favorite. The 17 chosen superstars that will take on these two come down to the ring. Snitsky is going to start for the Raw team and Cena will start for himself and Orton. Snitsky really starts taking it to Cena. Santino Marella tags himself in and Cena rolls him up eliminating him. Trevor Murdock gets in the ring and takes on Cena. Cena gets the STFU on Murdock, then an RKO by Orton eliminates Murdock from this match. Umaga is the next superstar in and it's going to be hard to take the Samoan Bulldozer out of this competition. During the commercial break an RKO on Super Crazy eliminated him. JBL was in the ring, Cody Rhodes takes his turn. Paul Burchill gets a turn, Val Venis as well. Hardcore Holly enters the match. Robbie McAllister enters the match too. It's just one tag in after another for the superstars. Cena finally gets back in and Robby McAllister is eliminated, DH Smith is eliminated as well by Cena. Orton gets tagged back in and Paul Burchill gets a huge RKO eliminating him. Val Venis gets another RKO eliminating him. Cody Rhodes gets double teamed by Cena and Orton eliminating him. The superstars finally just jump in the ring and go after Orton and Cena. Cena knowing the match is already disqualified, starts hitting people with a steel chair. Umaga delivers a huge Samoan spike to Cena. JBL grabs the chair. Another Samoan spike finds Orton and JBL runs as Umaga goes after him for hitting him with the chair by accident. Orton and Cena are laid out in the ring and all the other superstars are gone. Triple H comes out ready for battle and the final man to enter this match up. Never doubt the King of Kings. Triple H delivers a pedigree to Orton and then goes after Cena. A second pedigree on Cena eliminates the competition for Triple H and he's left the last man standing only 13 days from Wrestlemania!

Join me next week for the final Raw before Wrestlemania and let me entertain you!
