Who's in charge here?

William Regal has got Randy Orton, Triple H and John Cena backstage and has an announcement for them. For the next three weeks one of those men will be in charge of Monday night Raw and will be in charge to make the main event. Tonight is John Cena's turn at being "GM". He's got something planned and I'm sure it'll be a good one!

There is a mixed martial arts match between Big Show and Brandon "the thrill" Hill. Big Show must be wanting to test the waters of how well he fares against boxers before Wrestlemania when he has to face Floyd "money" Mayweather. Hill is like 5ft 7 and 120 pounds, Big Show is 7ft and 400lbs. It's a huge difference. Hill comes up to Big Show's chest. Wow! The match gets under way and Hill makes quick use of the ropes to make sure that Show doesn't tackle him. Show just keeps pushing to get to Hill. A huge boot to the head of Hill takes him down like a sack of potatoes. Big Show is manhandling this boxer like he's a rag doll. Big Show wins this match up without a problem and Hill isn't getting up from the huge choke slam that lost him that match. Floyd Mayweather is on the Titan Tron talking smack to Big Show and Big Show is talking it right back. Big Show picks up Hill and tosses him out of the ring. The trash talk keeps flowing between these two. "I'm gonna break your jaw this time!" Mayweather threatens. This is going to be an interesting match at Wrestlemania that's for sure.

Ric Flair is teaming up with Shawn Michaels and will be taking on Lance Cade and Trevor Murdock in a tag team match tonight. Flair and Murdock start this match up. Flair takes the chops to Murdock who retaliates with a nice back drop. Flair tags in Michaels who gets an elbow to the mouth by Murdock on his way out to tag his partner Lance Cade. Cade gets Shawn on the mat then tags in Murdock. Murdock gets a shot to the face in on Shawn then tags Cade back in. Michaels fights back and gets some good hits in on Cade and gets a nice neckbreaker in on Cade as well. Murdock gets the tag in and goes up top to try to land on Michaels who gets his knees up and Murdock lands right on them. Flair gets the tag in and goes after Cade. Flair gets the figure 4 locked in on Cade and Michaels gets the figure 4 locked in on Murdock and they win this match up tonight. They will be facing each other in a singles match at Wrestlemania that could very well end the career of the Nature Boy after 36 years in the business. Shawn grabs a microphone and has something to say to Flair. "I can't do this, I can't end the career of Ric Flair, I don't want the match at Wrestlemania. I am the showstopper and you'll leave me no choice but to stop your show at Wrestlemania if you keep pushing for this match." Michaels leaves the ring refusing to accept this match. Flair looks shocked and disappointed.

John Cena announces to Regal that the main event will be Triple H vs Randy Orton and John Cena will settle his "business" with Mr. Kennedy. Cena then promptly kicks Regal out of "his" office. That's just too funny!

Umaga comes to the ring to face his opponent Super Crazy. Umaga absolutely devastates Super Crazy in a flash and has proven again that he is the dominant man in the ring. William Regal is pleased that Umaga is going to represent Raw at Wrestlemania and be taking on the Animal Batista from Smackdown in a battle of the brands. Regal is convinced that Umaga will be victorious and that Raw will prove to be the better brand.

Chris Jericho comes to the ring for his Monday night episode of the Highlight Reel and his guest tonight is the one and only Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy. The fans are on their feet as the rainbow haired warrior makes his way to the ring to talk with Jericho. The two shake hands and the interview begins. Jericho says that despite how great Hardy is, there is nothing he can do to stop Jericho from winning at Wrestlemania. "I'm not the same guy you knew a few years ago, I'm different and I'll do whatever it takes to be champion." Hardy says. Jericho replies by saying that "from now on you are not my friend, you are not my peer you are just a target." Jeff Hardy agrees and shakes hands with Jericho then gives Jericho a huge twist of fate and drops him on his face in the center of the ring. It's time to rise to the occasion for Hardy and not settle for second best anymore.

Mr. Kennedy makes his way to the ring for his match tonight against John Cena. After Kennedy's interference last week in the match between John Cena and Randy Orton (with Triple H as a special guest referee) John Cena might have a bit of a score to settle. Cena is ready to fight which is something you usually don't see on Raw, the GM usually isn't involved in matches. These two lock up and the match begins. Kennedy gets a huge back body drop from Cena and then gets a side arm takedown as well. Cena isn't messing around tonight so Kennedy better get on top of his game quickly. Kennedy runs his mouth and he's made the statement time and time again about how great he is and how he's going to be the next champion, well now he needs to start backing up his words or else he stands to lose more than matches with the locker room. A hard Irish whip takes down Kennedy but Kennedy fights back and ends up on the outside of the ring momentarily. Kennedy then delivers a huge face buster to Cena on the ring apron. Kennedy gets back into the ring and the Ref starts the count. Kennedy then goes back outside and throws Cena against the edge of the ring. Kennedy tosses Cena into the ring and goes for the cover. Cena gets his shoulders up just in time. Kennedy then delivers a neck breaker to Cena and goes for the cover, Cena gets his shoulder up. Kennedy gets Cena in the corner and gets a running start to deliver a knee to the head of Cena. Kennedy goes for another cover and Cena still gets a shoulder up on 2 1/2. Cena is getting his neck contorted by Kennedy but Cena manages to get upright and power out of the hold. Kennedy then gets Cena on the mat for another cover unsuccessfully. Cena is in the corner again and as Kennedy lines up for another rush Cena rushes Kennedy and powers back. Cena goes up top and lands a leg drop on Kennedy and gets the STFU to win this match tonight. Kennedy taps like a girl and had a bloody mouth as well. Cena is triumphant and walks out of the ring proud.

Jerry the King Lawler is in the ring to announce Maria who will be unveiling her Playboy cover tonight on Raw! Santino Marella has put his face over Maria's on the cover as well as his face over the breasts and crotch of the picture. "You left me no choice", he criticizes her. She finally grows a set and tells him off. Santino asks if it's her "timing of the month". King knocks Santino out of the ring after he puts his hands on Maria trying to get her to leave with him. Candace Michelle unveils the real Playboy cover to the fans and it's gorgeous! I think this is the end of the Maria and Marella relationship, finally!

A money in the bank qualifying match finds Carlito competing against Cody Rhodes. The winner will go on the Wrestlemania to join Jeff Hardy, Mr. Kennedy, Chris Jericho and Shelton Benjamin in the match. Carlito gets a backstabber on Rhodes and wins his shot at Wrestlemania. ( I wasn't really paying attention to this match I was reading some stuff on wwe.com.)

Mike Adamle announces another inductee into the class of 2008 Hall of Fame. Mae Young will be inducted into the Hall of Fame along with Ric Flair, Rocky Johnson and High Chief Peter Maivia. Congratulations to all the nominees thus far and I look forward to hearing who will be inducted next!

Finlay comes out to the ring to face off against an accusatory JBL. Instead Mr. McMahon comes out to say his peace. Vince has a couple of questions for the Irishman. "Is it true that you conspired with other members of my family against me and is it true that Hornswaggle is not my son?" McMahon asks. It's all true. Finlay is Hornswaggle's father and he conspired with a member of Mr. McMahon's family to set him up. JBL is not there tonight, instead he's in the hospital with Hornswaggle and he's torturing him. Hornswaggle is terrified. JBL challenges Finlay to a match at Wrestlemania. JBL slaps Hornswaggle then turns the lights off and beats Hornswaggle up leaving him crying then there is silence. Finlay will have a score to settle with JBL that's for sure. He played a dangerous game and now his son is the target of McMahon's ire and JBL's sick thrill with picking on the weak. Let's hope this turns out in the Irishman's favor for all involved.

Randy Orton comes out to the ring for his match against Triple H tonight as made by the GM of the week John Cena. He doesn't look very happy to be in this position. Cena joins JR and King at ringside for commentary and has some really nice things to say in Orton's favor. (Cena is always a good sport that's why I love him!) As Triple H comes out Cena has some nice things to say about him too. I love how Cena calls it even and doesn't talk trash when it's not necessary. Orton and Triple H eye each other viciously. The match gets underway and the ref has to break up the lock up cause these two men lock it up all over the ring and don't break that hold. Triple H gets a side head lock takeover on Orton and this match is exploding with a quickness. Triple H is dominant at this point. Triple H goes for an early cover but Orton gets his shoulders up in 2. A second cover for Triple H but Orton gets out of it. Triple H is knocked out of the ring by Orton who joins him on the outside and throws some nice punches to the Game. Triple H puts Orton's face into the steel steps before tossing him back into the ring. An inverted back breaker by Orton buys him some time. Orton goes for the cover, Triple H kicks out. Orton begins the stomp fest on Triple H trying to weaken the Cerebral Assassin. Orton goes for the cover but Triple H kicks out. A huge knee to the neck of Triple H scores another point for Orton. Triple H begins to power back and uses those right hands as the weapons that they are. A high knee catches Orton who rolls to the outside trying to avoid more abuse. Triple H meets him on the outside and tosses him back into the ring. A huge spine buster by Triple H weakens Orton even more, but Orton goes to the outside and grabs his belt and starts to walk off. Cena intervenes tell Orton this match isn't over. Triple H hits Orton from behind and knocks Orton into Cena. As Triple H tries to go to the win over Orton Cena gets the FU on Triple H then Orton gets a RKO on Cena. The champ is the last man standing tonight, but will he be the last man standing on March 30th at Wrestlemania?

Join me next week for the three hour Raw special. It's a Wrestlemania showcase and I can't wait to entertain you!
