John Cena is the first out tonight on Raw. He grabs a microphone and has something to say. He addresses the fans about Wrestlemania being Sunday and it's going to be the biggest show ever! As he's talking he's interrupted by the Big Show. "Regardless of who wins your match, this Wrestlemania is going down in history for one reason, me ending the career of Mayweather!" Big Show states very matter-of-factly. JBL comes out with something to say too. "You too can talk about making history all you want, but JBL makes history!" JBL reminds the two men already in the ring. "My match has absolutely no rules, there is nothing or no one that can stop me!" JBL states. Cena makes a comment about how he beat JBL's ass at Wrestlemania 21 and really wasn't listening to anything the big mouth just said. Randy Orton comes out in all his importance. "Some people think the Big Show is going to knock out Mayweather, some people think that JBL is going to beat up Finlay and some people think that Orton, Cena or Triple H is going to leave champ that night. No one is counting on me retaining my title at Wrestlemania however!" Orton says. Umaga comes out. Umaga says something in Samoan and Cena translates for him saying, "Orton likes sperm whales and boy bands. There's no way I will let this man retain the title, thank you for your input Umaga." (I'm about to die laughing here). Triple H comes out. Triple H plugs his new T-shirt before addressing the guys in the ring. "There is one reason why we are all in this business, there is one reason why we lay our bodies on the line and it's that, the WWE championship sitting on Orton's shoulder. At Wrestlemania the King of Kings goes back on his thrown!" All these guys start arguing amongst themselves and are interrupted by William Regal. He makes a main event match of an 8 man no disqualification match, Cena, Triple H, Shawn Michaels and Ric Flair vs Umaga, Big Show, JBL and Randy Orton.
Chris Jericho heads down to the ring for his tag match with partner CM Punk from ECW vs MVP from Smackdown and his partner Carlito. It's a mini money in the bank preview. CM Punk and MVP get the match underway. CM Punk uses his feet effectively against MVP, MVP tags in Carlito and Jericho gets tagged from Punk. Jericho barrages Carlito with right hands and does a nice spring board drop kick knocking Carlito right off the ring apron where he was caught up on the top rope. Carlito fights back and gives Jericho a run for his money for a bit. Jericho puts a stop to that and gets a second wind. Jericho goes for the walls of Jericho on Carlito but MVP interrupts and Jericho gets tossed out of the ring by Carlito. While the ref is busy with CM Punk MVP goes to work on the outside with Jericho. Once Jericho is back in the ring Carlito makes quick work of trying to weaken Y2J. MVP gets the tag from Carlito and goes to work on Jericho. Jericho makes it to his feet from the hold MVP had him in. Jericho gets a moment of momentum and crawls towards his partner. Punk gets the tag and goes right to work on MVP. A huge powerslam gets Punk a near fall over MVP. Carlito tries to intervene but Punk kicks him off the apron. Jericho gets in the ring and beats on MVP. Jericho goes from a standing drop kick and misses MVP hitting CM Punk by accident. MVP gets the three count on CM Punk. Jericho is not happy with this outcome as the winners MVP and Carlito leave the ring.
Mr. Kennedy is backstage making his statement about what he thinks will happen at Wrestlemania this year. "Ric Flair retires, the Undertaker's winning streak ends, and I will win the money in the bank match and cash it in to become the champion. The story of Wrestlemania will be Mr. Kennedy!"
Hardcore Holly is in the ring for a singles match against the Great Khali from Smackdown. The size difference between these two men is not giving favor to Holly. Khali is dominant and powerful against the tag team champion as if he was an amateur. Khali wins this match and doesn't even break a sweat.
Ric Flair comes out to confront Shawn Michaels. "I'm glad to know that somewhere in the World people respect Ric Flair." Flair states. Flair is not happy about Shawn's choice to interfere with his match against Mr. McMahon last week on Raw. "I'm losing respect for Shawn Michaels." Ric says, he calls out Michaels to talk about this man to man. Shawn comes out. "First of all Ric, I'm sorry to hear that you lost respect for me. I'm sorry to hear that you think I've lost faith in you. I didn't come out last week to interfere with anything, I was just giving you back up because I did what I thought you would do." Michaels says to his long time friend. "Shut up!" Flair yells, he takes his coat off and yells at Michaels. "I don't need anybody to tell me who I am, and I'm feeling good about myself, I'm going to show you something!" He brings out the NWA world Heavyweight Championship that he won in 1981. "If you were 20 years older you would have been in the ring with me back then too!" Flair says. "In 2008 I picked you to wrestle me at Wrestlemania, because I want to prove that I've still got it!" Flair admits. "Let me assure you of one thing, I'm gonna give you everything you need, I'm gonna give you the main event and rest assured I'm gonna give you Mr. Wrestlemania come Sunday!" Shawn promises. "I would expect nothing less from you my friend!" Flair says happy to have what he wants. "Before I go, just so there is no doubt in your mind that you are going to get everything you need and more, come Sunday I'm gonna take you behind the wood shed like Old Yeller and put you our of your misery." Flair slaps the taste out of Shawn's mouth and provokes him. Shawn refuses to do anything now, but walks out of the ring looking very unsettled and unhappy that he has been put in this position. Flair wanted a fight and he didn't get it tonight, but trust me he's going to get it Sunday that's for sure!
Maria the most recent Playboy covergirl comes out for her match tonight against Melina who is being accompanied to the ring by Beth Phoenix. Melina wastes no time to start this match up and seems to be dominating this match. Ashley gets into the ring and interrupts the match. Santino Marella gets in the ring and interrupts the match even further. Then King gets out of his seat and goes after Santino. Maria and Ashley along with King clean the house and William Regal comes out to announce this is now a 6 person inter-gender tag team match up. King and Santino start this match out. King is really taking it to Marella. Marella tags in Melina who taunts King he can't seem to get the nerve to hit her so he tags in Ashley who while Melina has her back turned clocks her in the face as she turns around. Ashley tags in Maria who goes for the bronco buster on Melina's face. Beth Phoenix tags herself into this match and power slams Maria. Beth tags Santino who gets in the ring to beat on Maria. Maria slaps the crap out of Marella and Ashley joins her for the beat down. Santino goes to the outside and is accosted more by King. Santino gets tossed into the ring by King but Maria and Santino are the legal people in the ring. Santino pins her and wins this match for himself, Melina and Beth Phoenix. Maria looks pissed.
Triple H and John Cena are backstage and Triple H is reminding Cena about how much he's been in the Game's way the past few years. Cena retorts that he will be standing in Triple H's way on Sunday because he watched for 6 months while Orton carried around the title which Cena never "lost". (It was stripped from him due to his pectoral injury and surgery). This match on Sunday is going to be one hell of a match, no doubt about it!
The main event gets under way tonight with Randy Orton coming out first. His partners in this no DQ match are Umaga, JBL, and Big Show. Not a bad team if I have to say so myself. The largest athlete in the World, the Samoan bulldozer, the ruthless millionaire and the champion. However their opponent's are no slouches either. Shawn Michaels, Triple H, John Cena and Ric Flair. Shawn comes out first for his team. Can Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels be on the same page tonight after their confrontation earlier in the evening. Let's hope so. King and JR have the same thought. It's funny I've noticed that when John Cena comes out the fans are behind him 100% cheering and all. Same with a lot of other wrestlers. However when Triple H comes out the crowd gets quite as if they are respecting the great man that is making his way to the ring to entertain them. (I'm very very biased I love Triple H!) After all he is the King of Kings. Shawn Michaels and Randy Orton will start this match off. Orton and Michaels take turns at getting each other in the corner. Orton has got Michaels in an arm hold and Finlay comes out and goes after JBL with the shalleighly. These two are going to be tied up for awhile. (great time for a commercial break....ha ha) Orton and Michaels are still in the ring fighting their own match. Umaga gets the tag and begins his attack on the Heartbreak Kid. Michaels delivers a few chops to Umaga but gets beat into a corner for his efforts. Michaels gets the full force of Umaga's backside and it leaves him still. Batista runs out and Umaga is now out of this match up because he's fighting with the Animal from Smackdown. Big Show and Ric Flair are the legal men in the ring now. Ric Flair may not make it to Wrestlemania at this rate! Big Show delivers some heavy handed chops to the Nature Boy. Ric Flair goes down. Flair delivers some chops of his own that don't even seem to effect the Big Show. A high overhead drop on Flair leaves him motionless. Cena gets the tag and Triple H and Cena double team the Big Show. To no avail, both these men go down at the hands of the Big Show. Randy Orton is on the apron telling Big Show how to wrestle and Big Show straight up grabs him and tosses him into the ring like a doll. Big Show walks out and it's Randy Orton, Cena and Triple H going after each other with Shawn Michaels looking on. Ric Flair goes after Randy Orton and Michaels knocks him down. A low blow to the groin of Michaels by Flair allows Flair to get the figure 4 on the champ who flails like a fish and he taps out like a little girl. Ric Flair wins it for his team, with no help from his partners who are off fighting amongst themselves! This goes to show just how explosive this Sunday at Wrestlemania is going to be!
I'm moving this weekend, granted that my cable gets installed correctly I will be watching Wrestlemania from the comfort of my new townhouse! So join me on Sunday for the biggest game of them all WRESTLEMANIA and let me entertain you!
