This episode features Bret Hart returning to Raw. Also, Randy Orton takes on Ted DiBiase. And Show-Miz defends their Unified Tag Team titles against DX. All this, plus a whole lot more.
Tonight we emanate from beautiful Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
We begin with Shawn Michaels cutting an in-ring promo. He says his peers look away from him when he walks the halls. No one believes that he can beat The Undertaker at Wrestlemania. He reminds us that he is Mr. Wrestlemania, and can end Taker’s undefeated streak. He calls out any doubters to come to the ring, look him in the eye and tell him he can’t win. Triple H’s music plays, and out he comes. HHH says he doesn’t think he can beat Taker at Mania, he KNOWS he can. He tells Shawn that he’s invoked the rematch against Miz and Big Show, tonight.
Backstage, tonight’s special guest hosts Cheech and Chong share a moment. They are interrupted by the Bella Twins. The twins invite Cheech to take a backstage tour. Chong stays behind and is joined by Hornswoggle, who shares his hallucination inducing Lucky Charms with him.
Ted DiBiase vs. Randy Orton.
First bell at 22 minutes in. Nice one on one match. Neither guy is in control for very long. Endgame: Cody Rhodes interferes, and gets the match tossed out. Post-match Orton delivers offense to both guys. Interesting, in that the crowd is solidly behind Orton.
Bret Hart is seen getting out of a limo wearing a cast and using a crutch.
Backstage, Chong is still in his haze, and fondling Eve (who is speaking with a male British accent.) He makes a match for tonight. A Divas pajama pillow fight. Cheech enters and tells him that it’s William Regal. It turns out, it was the sugar talking. He confuses Kelly Kelly for Chris Masters, who saves the segment by doing the boob-bounce.
Jack Swagger vs. Santino in a Money in the Bank qualifying match.
Short match. Endgame: Swagger nails Santino with a gut-wrench power bomb for the 1-2-3. Your winner as a result of a pinfall, Jack Swagger.
John Cena cuts an in-ring promo. He doesn’t feel he was screwed by Batista and Mr. McMahon at Elimination Chamber, that it was just business. He believes he needs to pay Batista back for the attack last week. Batista comes out, escorted by security. Dave says security isn’t here to protect him, they’re here to protect Cena. John calls him a 6 foot 6 pansy. Dave sounds a little jealous of Cena’s success. He explains that he did what he did last week to prove at Wrestlemania that he’s better than Cena. John calls him selfish, and always will be. Dave agrees, and he doesn’t care about the fans, he just wants to win titles and make money. He tells Cena, “you can’t beat me John.”
Backstage, Cheech and Chong, Chavo, Lucky Charms… go.
MVP vs. Zack Ryder in a Money in the Bank qualifying match.
MVP is in control for the most part. Endgame: MVP hits the Playmaker on Ryder for the 1-2-3. Your winner as a result of a pinfall, MVP.
Gail Kim, vs. Eve Torres, vs. Kelly Kelly vs. Maryse, vs. Alicia Fox vs. Jillian in a Divas Pajama Pillow Fight.
Endgame: Torres hits a rolling leg drop on Alicia Fox for the 1-2-3. Your winner as a result of a pinfall, Eve Torres. Post-match Hornswoggle appears and throws cereal on everyone.
We learn that Maurice “Mad Dog” Vachon will be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Mr. McMahon introduces Bret Hart, who comes out with the cast and crutch. McMahon says he didn’t invite him here for a final farewell, instead talks about the Wrestlemania challenge. Bret says he wants to fight, but he’s incapacitated. Vince asks the audience if they would like to see Bret in a match with him at Wrestlemania. Bret says he can’t wrestle, he’s got a broken leg. Vince tells Bret he has no heart, and calls him a coward. He kicks away the crutch, and Bret falls face first. As Vince gives Bret the badmouth, Bret yells to him, “you want a match at Wrestlemania, you got it!” Vince tells him that to prove he’s ready, next week, it will be Vince McMahon taking on John Cena.
Unified Tag Team Champions Show-Miz vs. DX in a title match.
HBK gets most of the punishment until the inevitable hot tag to HHH. He gets in his offense on Big Show, who chokeslams him. Endgame: After dueling hot tags, HBK and Miz are in the ring, and just as Shawn is about to give Sweet Chin Music to Miz, an image of The Undertaker is shown on the Titan-Tron. This distracts HBK long enough for Miz to roll him up for the 1-2-3. Your winners as a result of a pinfall, Show-Miz. Post-match, as HHH tries to console HBK, Shawn storms out. Sheamus then appears and proceeds to attack HHH from behind. He kicks HHH right in the face, and sends him flying over the announce table.
Fade to black, good night from Oklahoma City.
