This episode of Raw features a one on one match between The World‘s Strongest Mark Henry and Randy Orton, Evan Bourne vs. Jack Swagger, plus a tag team main event match featuring DX taking on Jeri-Show. Also, we find out some Survivor Series matches, and a whole lot more.
Tonight we emanate from beautiful Sheffield, England.
Your special guest tonight is pro boxer Ricky Hatton. He enters the ring with the Bella twins in tow. He plays a hi-light of a world title match he won in that very arena. He gets interrupted by Jeri-Show. Both members wearing fancy suits, and cheesy smiles. Show talks about knocking people out, and orders Hatton out of the ring. Hatton says he loved it when Show got knocked out by a boxer at Wrestlemania. (I was there). Show says he’ll give Hatton a free shot, and gets down on his knees. Just as Hatton is about to unload on Show, Jericho steps in and prevents it. Chris says he’s on the roll of his career. He runs down his recent wins, and says at Survivor Series, he will beat Show and Cena to win the World Heavyweight Championship. Show cuts him off and calls him Napoleon. Hatton makes a tag team match tonight, Jeri-Show vs. DX. Jericho then runs down the crowd, The Royal Family, and the whole British dental care system by using several multi-syllabic words. Hatton acts confused by the big fancy talk, and tells Jericho, he’s just a guy with a bad haircut and wants him out of his face. Just as Jeri-Show circle Hatton, cue the DX music, and out come HHH an HBK. HHH says stuff, HBK says stuff, then punches Jericho in the jaw, knocking him out of the ring. HHH, HBK, and Hatton surround Show, who then proceeds to bail out of the ring. Hatton then joins DX in a crotch chop.
Before the match, we learn the Diva Survivor Series PPV teams. (with accompanying graphic). Team Mickie: Mickie James, Kelly Kelly, Melina, Gail Kim and Eve Torres vs. Team Michelle: Michelle McCool, Layla, Beth Phoenix, Alicia Fox, and Jillian.
Kelly Kelly (with Gail Kim) vs. Alicia Fox (with Jillian) in a Divas match.
At the start of the match, Alicia delivers a perfect pie-face to Kelly. Kelly then drops Alicia with a great Thesz press. This leads to great offense by both ladies. Endgame: Alicia Fox hit’s a “WOW”-inducing scissors kick to Kelly for the 1-2-3.
Your winner, as a result of a pinfall, Alicia Fox.
Backstage John Cena meets and greets Hatton and his son.
Before the next match, we learn of another SS PPV match, (with accompanying graphic). Team Morrison: John Morrison, Shelton Benjamin, Finlay, Evan Bourne, Matt Hardy vs. Team Miz: The Miz, Dolph Ziggler, Jack Swagger, Sheamus, and Drew McIntyre. It looks like they’re going heels vs. faces as opposed to Raw vs. Smackdown. I guess they don’t want to confuse this PPV with Bragging Rights.
Sheamus vs. unnamed Englishman
Before the match, McFly says he ended Jamie Noble’s career last week, and he’s going to do what the Irish have always done. He’s going to walk through the Englishman in the ring, and make him look like a fool. No offense whatsoever from no-name. Endgame: Sheamus throws no name with a Razor Ramon inspired running Razors Edge. Which I believe is called the Crucifix power bomb now, for the 1-2-3. Your winner as a result of a pinfall, Sheamus.
Backstage, Hatton and the Bella twins are killing time. They get interrupted by Santino. He is wearing a fat-suit and calling himself Ricky Fat-ton… hilarious… They are interrupted by Chavo. They throw darts and Hatton puts himself in a match, boxer vs. wrestler, Chavo vs. Hatton.
Backstage, The Miz is interviewed by Josh Matthews. They are interrupted by Jack Swagger. They argue and Swagger says he should be team captain, and they share and awkward stare.
Evan Bourne vs. Jack Swagger:
Swagger gets in most of the offense early, including some mid-match push-ups. Somewhere, Scott Steiner is thinking about suing for gimmick infringement. Evan displays his high flying arsenal. They are joined ringside by The Miz. Crowd starts a “Miz is awesome” chant. Endgame: Swagger is distracted as he gets he Bourne up in a suplex. Bourne knees his way out of it, and reverse kicks Swagger to the canvas. He climbs to the top rope and hits Air-Bourne for the 1-2-3. Your winner, Evan Bourne.
Post-match, Miz claims he’s the team captain, because he’s The Miz and he’s awesome!
We learn of another SS PPV match that has been made, (with accompanying graphic). Team Kofi. Kofi Kingston, Christian, MVP, R Truth, and Mark Henry vs. Team Orton: Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase, William Regal, and CM Punk.
VIP lounge segment: Mark Henry and MVP introduce Kofi Kingston. They play hi-lites from last weeks match. They pop champagne. Cue Randy Orton’s theme song, and here he comes with DiBiase and Rhodes in tow. Orton stares down the velvet rope security guard, and the three enter the lounge. Randy insults the three men in front of him, and says they all belong in the hood where they came from. Kingston slaps Orton. They face off, fade to black.
Randy Orton vs. Mark Henry. (with their respective teammates ringside.)
Good back and forth match. At one point, Henry head-butts Orton 7 times in a row. Endgame: Randy attempts a sunset-flip, and Henry grabs him by the neck to lift him up. Just as he does, Randy counters with an RKO for the 1-2-3. Your winner, as a result of a pinfall, Randy Orton. Post-match, Orton slaps Kofi, and Kofi punches Orton right out of the ring. The two exchange words, Orton retreats.
Chavo Guerrero vs. Ricky Hatton in a wrestler vs. boxer match, where the boxer can only win by knockout, and the wrestler can only win by pinfall or submission.
Some dancing early on, as Hatton punches Chavo in the gut. Chavo retreats to outside the ring. Re-enters and takes down Hatton. Hatton gets up and punches the snot out of Chavo for the 10 count. Your winner as a result of a knockout, Ricky Hatton.
In the locker room, John Cena is yelling at Hornswoggle for DX infringement. They hear DX coming, and Swogs hides. Here are DX, and they yuk it up to kill some time. They say they saw the leprechaun go in there. Cena reminds them of their triple threat match at the SS PPV. He says DX are best buds and occasionally tweet each other. HHH says contrary to popular belief, the have never tweeted each other, and channels his inner Seinfeld.. not that there’s anything wrong with that. Cena reminds us that a triple threat match is every man for himself. HHH says he understands that, and that, but one of the members of DX is winning the match. HBK tells Cena to stop distracting them, and they want Hornswoggle. Cena summons him, and out he comes. This time, he’s wearing John Cena gear. They do the U Can’t See Me hand thing. DX believes it, and leaves. After they’re safely out of camera shot, Swogs changes back into DX gear and chops the camera about 11,000 times.
Before the next match, we get a recap of last weeks Raw with the Osbourne’s and learn that next week the special guest host will be Rowdy Roddy Piper. John Cena joins King and Cole on commentary.
DX vs. Unified Tag Team Champions, Jeri-Show
Jericho takes most of the punishment early, getting sent out of the ring right before an ad break. When we return, Show and HBK are in the ring, and trading offense. HBK makes the hot tag to HHH. Show spears him and sends him to the heels corner. The two teams go back and forth for a pretty good match. HHH hot tags HBK, who’s a house of fire! Endgame: HBK tunes up the band, and misses Jericho with Sweet chin music. Chris tries the Walls of Jericho, and HBK reverses it. Show comes in to the ring, and splashes HBK and Jericho in the corner. He goes for a punch on HBK and misses, but nails Jericho. DOWN GOES JERICHO. HHH clotheslines Show over the top rope. HBK pins Jericho for the 1-2-3. Your winners as a result of a pinfall, Degeneration-X.
Post-match, we learn that next week there will be a triple threat tag team match featuring DX vs. Jeri-Show vs. John Cena and The Undertaker! Taker shows up, does his throat-slash and eye roll thing. Fade to black.
Good night from Sheffield.
