This episode of Raw features the finals of the Divas Championship pitting Maryse vs. Gail Kim. Also, Show-Miz defends their Unified Tag Team titles against MVP and Mark Henry. Plus, we learn who the first entrant into the Money in the Bank Ladder match at Wrestlemania will be. All this, plus a whole lot more.
Tonight we emanate from beautiful Indianapolis, Indiana.
We begin with the new World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho cutting an in-ring promo. He’s all smiles as he yells “I’M GOING TO WRESTLEMANIA!” He brags about beating all 5 opponents at the Elimination Chamber PPV. He gets interrupted by Edge, who spears him from behind, and yells, “Hey Chris, you’re going to Wrestlemania… against me!”
John Cena cuts an in-ring promo. He’s mad as hell at Vince McMahon. He invokes his rematch clause right now. Vinny Mac comes out instead and denies Mr. Cena that right. Instead, he tells Cena that if he beats Batista tonight, he will go to Wrestlemania to face him for the championship.
Maryse vs. Gail Kim for the Divas Championship.
Typical Divas match. Endgame: Gail attempts an electric chair, but Maryse reverses it and hits the French Kiss DDT for the 1-2-3. Your winner as a result of a pinfall, and NEW Divas Champion, Maryse.
Backstage, tonight’s special guests Ty Murray and Jewel talk to some of the Divas. Is it just me, or is Jewel the hottest one of all of them? Jewel slaps the taste out of Jillian’s mouth.
In the locker room, Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton share a moment. Rhodes tries to explain his actions last night, and blames Ted DiBiase for the whole darn thing. Randy blames himself for what happened, and to tell Ted that he’s sorry. Ted joins after Randy leaves, and asks if they’re still sticking with the plan. Absolutely.
Legacy vs. Yoshi Tatsu, Kofi Kingston, and Evan Bourne.
Kofi has a noticeable limp walking to the ring. Evan gets the majority of ringtime until a hot tag to Kofi. Suddenly, the limp is gone. DiBiase tags in Orton who punishes Kofi. Endgame: Rhodes blindly tags himself in. Orton greets him with a mid-rope DDT instead. As Randy leaves, Ted spins him around and yells at him. Orton’s reply: an RKO on the floor. Orton bails. The faces take advantage. Bourne hits Air-Bourne for the 1-2-3. Your winners as a result of a pinfall, Yoshi Tatsu, Kofi Kingston, and Evan Bourne.
A video package is played detailing Shawn Michaels obsession with The Undertaker. HBK then comes out and cuts an in-ring promo. He says his actions last night are pretty much self-explanatory. He’s heard the rumors that Taker is here tonight, and he’s counting on his reaction. The lights dim, the gong is sounded, and out comes the Dead Man. Shawn tells him if he wants revenge, face him at Wrestlemania. Taker agrees, on the condition that HBK puts his career on the line. Shawn: “If I don’t beat you at Wrestlemania, I have no career.”
Christian vs. Carlito in a Money in the Bank qualifying match.
Christian is in control for most of the match, with Carlito getting in some token offense. Endgame: Christian throws Carlito into the ringpost and rolls him up for the 1-2-3. Your winner as a result of a pinfall, Christian.
Ty Murray and Jewel host a Divas bull riding event. Eve Torres, Kelly Kelly, and The Bella Twins, all ride the bull. They are interrupted by Show-Miz. Show says anybody can ride the bull, so he climbs on, and lasts all of 4 seconds. This angers The Big Show, and he goes all Mongo on the bull. (Blazing Saddles reference). Jewel and Murray tell Show-Miz that they have to defend their titles against MVP and Mark Henry.
Unified Tag Team Champions Show-Miz vs. Mark Henry and MVP in a title match.
Henry is visibly nursing the shoulder he injured last night. Endgame: Miz tries a flying cross-body, but Henry catches him. Big Show then punches Henry with a knockout blow and pins him for the 1-2-3. Your winners as a result of a pinfall, Show-Miz.
We learn that Wendi Richter will be inducted in the Hall of Fame.
Backstage, Mr. McMahon says that he wasn’t responsible Bret Hart’s accident last week. He wants Bret to return next week to have a final farewell.
We learn that next week Cheech and Chong will be the special guest hosts.
John Cena vs. WWE Champ Batista in a non-title match.
We are reminded that if Cena wins, he goes to Wrestlemania to face Batista for the title. Endgame: Two minutes into the match, Batista blatantly kicks Cena in the stones in front of the ref, who rings the bell. Your winner as a result of a DQ, John Cena. Post-match, Batista continues his attack on Cena. Kicking, stomping and brutalizing him with a chair. He leaves Cena in a heap as he walks up the ramp.
Fade to black, good night from Indianapolis.
