Good to see you back even though it sucks for you. My holiday to Spain this year got cancelled so feel lucky that you got away from the UK for a couple of weeks

Raw preview looks good with Bischoff back in control and a confrontation between Kane and Orton (Another asskicking for Orton?). Let me know when it’s up

BREAKING NEWS: PUNK IN BACKSTAGE SHOOT ON JEFF!


We are getting word ahead of Raw that there is some strong real life tension between Jeff Hardy and CM Punk. It has emerged that Punk was slating Jeff to a number of guys backstage after the Royal Rumble and at Raw the next night.

It appears that Punk’s on screen opinion of Jeff doesn’t differ from his thoughts behind the curtain. He was said to have told the guys that he was worried Jeff might not turn up and use the excuse of the different airports in New York to get out of dropping the Intercontinental title to him. We were told that these guys stood up for Jeff but this didn’t stop Punk as he really laid in to him, saying that he doesn’t deserve the position in the company that he has. Punk even went as far to say that he’s seen dozens of young kids kicked out of developmental and the indy’s with far more talent than Jeff, and said if only they followed Jeff’s example of jumping off ladders to go through tables and botch their way through normal matches, maybe they would have got somewhere.

It is clear that Punk’s ego appears to be growing since his heel turn and push. He has always had a lot of confidence in his own ability but it seems now that he has the important people backing him as a future main eventer, he might just have put his foot in his mouth. We haven’t been able to find out what the response of the backstage officials is, but they surely won’t be happy with these comments. With Jeff being kept off TV last week, and as far as we know he won’t be on Raw tonight either, it looks like we could see the duo kept apart for a while. They were scheduled to compete at Wrestlemania in a follow up to the shocking ending at the end of their match at Royal Rumble, and as far as we believe that plan is not set to change.

It does though mean that a very serious conversation needs to take place between both parties and probably Vince McMahon before Jeff returns to TV, or the whole angle may indeed be scrapped. We will keep you updated on this situation as we learn more details.

The Raw preview looks great and the whole Punk/Hardy shoot is very interesting as well. I remember back in February I followed this thread and then I didn't post too much on the forums. I'm glad this thread is back and I'll read Raw for sure.

RAW looks pretty interesting indeed Nige. Some nice matches lined up and knowing you it's going to be good. The Hardy & Punk Shoot is all very hectic, and i'm hoping it somehow effects the on screen shows. All in all Nige, i'm glad your back. Although I have never reviewed this thread, you can bet your bottom dollar I have been reading. Personal Message me when the show is up and I shall leave some feedback for you my friend.

Great Smackdown. The #1 Contender tournament should bring some good matches. MVP and Dykstra were arrogent little pricks, so they were definately in character. Edge seemed in character as well. Edge/Chavo was an OK filler, I'm not surprised Edge won. Shelton's segment was in-character, and since it set up a match, I can't complain. Masters and Haas backstage was interesting, maybe something like the MFers is in the works. I'm glad Haas is getting a push. Finlay/Harris sounds like it would be a good match IRL. I hope Harris gets a push, maybe a US title run. Kenny was great in the interview, although he isn't on Tista's level yet. Matt/Shelton was a well-written match, I would assume Shelton will cost Matt his match next week. I hope they get a match at SNME. I liked the Pitbulls back when they were in the WWE, so I am glad they are getting a push now. One part I didn't like is that the UK Pack didn't do anything when the Pitbulls taunted them. You would think they would try to attack the Pitbulls or at least yell at them. Flair/Shane sounds like it will be a great match. You are great at writing backstage segments, and it showed during the Flair/Shane segment. Dykstra/Tista was about what I expected. I'm glad you made Dykstra look strong, but still had Tista win.

“Burn in my Light” blasts out inside The Erwin Center as Randy Orton makes his way out wearing jeans and a T shirt, looking very pissed off and getting a lot of heat.

Randy Orton:
Last Friday night, I went to Smackdown to get an answer to a question that needed to be answered. . . But I still stand here without the answer I demand to know

***HEAT***

Randy Orton:
As the WWE Champion, I DEMAND THAT ANSWER. . . I DEMAND TO FIND OUT RIGHT HERE TONIGHT IF I WILL BE DEFENDING MY TITLE AT WRESTLEMANIA AGAINST KANE

***MIXED REACTION***

Randy Orton:
Getting tomb stoned by a big red retard doesn’t constitute an answer. It just pisses me off even more than I already am, and even Kane doesn’t want to find out what The Legend Killer is truly capable of. . .

“I’m Back” hits & Eric Bischoff walks down to the ring, getting a mixed reception


Eric Bischoff:
Randy, I know you’ve been caught a little off guard over the last week, and I understand where you’re coming from. . . We can all see why you’re concerned Randy, we’ve seen Kane make an impact, and quite frankly two big statements last week on Raw, and on Smackdown Friday night. . . However Randy, it seems clear to the both of us that Kane is trying to unsettle both you and Shawn Michaels while he decides just who he wants to face at Wrestlemania. . . But Randy, I felt that I had to come out here and offer you explanation, since I too am partly to blame

Randy Orton: Partly to blame? . . . Partly to blame for what? . . . Kane attacking me last Friday night?

Eric Bischoff: Look, I know your head’s all over the place Randy, but you have to understand where I’m coming from. Since I’m, the new Head of Authority for Raw, it’s my responsibility to bring the very best superstars to Raw. And Randy, since Kane won the Royal Rumble just over a week ago, he qualifies as one of the very best. And I need the best Randy if I’m going to make Raw the biggest show on television, and I will do whatever it takes to make that happen, even if that means unsettling the WWE Champion

***POP***

Eric Bischoff:
And right now Randy, since Kane beat twenty nine of the best stars the WWE has to offer, I had no choice but to extend an invitation to him to come to Raw and fight for the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania

Randy Orton: WHAT?

Eric Bischoff: Look you’re angry, I get that. But we’re in the same position here Randy. I am waiting for an answer from Kane too, just like you are. . . So it seems we’re just going to have sit tight. . .

“My Time is Now” plays through the speakers as John Cena makes his way down to the ring, getting a big pop with some boos mixed in, looking pretty serious


John Cena:
Randy, if you want to know who you’ll be facing at Wrestlemania. . . you’re looking at him

***POP***

Randy Orton:
John, I know I beat the crap out of you at the Royal Rumble, but it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that me and you. . . well, we’re through. . . See several months ago John, I put you on the shelf, and now you’ve come back, I beat you just over a week ago in the middle of this ring when you finally had the guts to step in the ring with me

John Cena: Randy, one match is one match, and yeah you might have won at the Royal Rumble. . . but you didn’t beat me. . I want to give you that chance Randy, the chance you’ve wanted for a long time, for the chance you crave. . . the chance to beat John Cena

***MIXED REACTION***

Randy Orton (Calmly):
I already have

John Cena: No Randy, you climbed a ladder. . . that proves nothing. What you really want is the chance to beat me in the middle of this ring by yourself. . . no ladders, no tables and chairs, just YOU AND ME

Randy turns to Bischoff

Randy Orton: Eric, put him straight. Tell him like it is. . . he’s had his chance, he blew it and he’s not getting another

Bischoff thinks about it for a couple of seconds while Cena and Orton stare at each other

Eric Bischoff: You know what guys? Since I’m impartial around here, I can see both your arguments. . . Randy, you did in fact retain the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble, and John. . . well you’re right too. Randy didn’t beat you the old fashioned way, he simply won the match by climbing the ladder and collecting that belt

Bischoff continues to think

Eric Bischoff: So, by doing what I need to for the best interests of Raw, and since Kane hasn’t made his decision yet. . . I am going to take action tonight

***POP***

Eric Bischoff:
To make it fair to the both of you, I am going to make one of the biggest matches in the history of Raw right here tonight when you will see John Cena go one on one with Randy Orton

***HUGE POP***

Randy Orton:
WHAT?

Eric Bischoff: . . . Let me finish. . . If John Cena wins tonight, he will face Randy Orton for the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania. . . but if Randy Orton wins, John Cena will not be challenging for the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania

Orton looks pissed and stares right at Cena as Bischoff leaves the ring after passing the microphone back to Lilian, leaving Orton and Cena to stare right at each other, face to face. The duo look right in to each others eyes, when all of a sudden, Orton goes for an RKO, but Cena pushes him away. As Orton spins back round, Cena lifts him on to his shoulders and plants him with the F U

The crowd go nuts as “My Time is Now” plays again and Cena bends down to pick up the WWE Championship. He looks right at it before dropping it back down on Orton’s chest and looking in to the crowd

***COMMERCIAL BREAK***

***VIDEO RECAP***
We see Rey Mysterio being found laid out in his locker room last week after a sneak attack and then Eric Bischoff accusing Elijah Burke of being the culprit, and then making Mysterio/Burke and Victoria/Beth Phoenix for Saturday Night’s Main Event this weekend


***CUT TO THE ARENA***


***MATCH #1***

Rey Mysterio & Victoria
vs. Elijah Burke & Beth Phoenix w/Layla


ENDING:
Both Rey and Burke crawled across the mat and made the tag to their respective partners. The Glamazon was in first and charged at Victoria who just ducked an outstretched arm and then was able to catch Beth when she turned round with a SAVOTE KICK. . . . . Victoria dropped to the mat and went for the cover, only getting a two count. She then stood back up and did her freaky body shake before hitting Beth with a STANDING MOONSAULT. . . . . She again tried to go for the cover, but Burke entered the ring and pulled her off Phoenix by the feet. Rey then stormed back in and took Burke over the top rope with a clothesline, landing close by Layla on the outside. With the referee trying to get Rey back on the apron, Beth took advantage of the official having his back turned as Victoria pulled her up, only to get her eyes raked by The Glamazon.

The Womens Champion then connected with a SLINGSHOT SUPLEX. . . . . It was the champ’s turn to go for a cover, but she too could only get a two count. As she then pulled Victoria back up to her feet, she went for an irish whip towards Layla who turned her back. Victoria was able to reverse whip with Phoenix hitting the ropes as Layla grabbed her foot, thinking it was Victoria. Layla laughed at the crowd as Beth turned round and looked down at her while Burke got back up to his feet on the outside. Rey saw it and ran across the apron, then took both Burke and Layla down with a DIVING CROSS BODY. . . . . Beth watched on in shock before turning round in to a kick to the gut from Victoria who then nailed her with the WIDOW’S PEAK. . . . . A big pop rang out as Victoria went for the cover and picked up a big win over her opponent this Saturday night.



AFTERMATH: “Lady to Mess With” hit as Victoria stared down intensely at The Glamazon while Rey got back up on the outside with a smile on his face while Burke & Layla remained on the arena floor

WINNERS: Rey Mysterio & Victoria by pinfall @ 6.07


***CUT BACKSTAGE***


The McMahon’s are in their office/locker room backstage. Orlando Jordan stands by the door as Shane and JBL are sitting down on a leather sofa while Vince stands up in front of them with a big smile on his face. He tells Shane that he is so proud of him for beating his no good son-in-law last week, and that it was one of the best scenes of his life, watching his son take Triple H in his hands and crush him. Shane thanks his dad while JBL pats Shane on the shoulder. Vince then says that they do need to have a serious talk though, since Shane won last week, they now have the right to choose just who Triple H will face at Saturday Night’s Main Event this weekend. JBL tells Vince that he has a great idea, that all three of them should face him in a No Holds Barred match to show Triple H and the entire world that no one should dare mess with The McMahon Men. Vince gets a sick smile on his face and says he loves the idea and it will set an example to everyone and that it will give them the chance to humiliate Triple H in the front of the world. Shane then suggests that they could be more intelligent about it and says that maybe just one of them should face him while one of them could be the special referee and the other could be the special guest timekeeper. Vince smiles again and says he likes that idea too, and says they’re going to have a hard time thinking about it, but they’ve got a bit more time yet before they have to inform Bischoff of their choice.


***COMMERCIAL BREAK***


Eric Bischoff is in his office with The Redneck Wrecking Crew. Lance Cade asks Bischoff for one more chance at Paul London and Brian Kendrick, practically begging him. Bischoff says he knows that they’ve not been at their best lately, but remembers how good they can be. He then says that it’s funny really since another couple of guys came to him earlier on and asked for the exact same thing. He then says that he has an idea, and says that tonight both teams can go at it and then he’ll think about who deserves a shot at the titles. Murdoch looks as strange as ever before telling Bischoff that it’s on with Cade following him out of the room, looking very aggressive. Just as the door slams shut and Bischoff turns round, he hears the door open again and turns back round to see CM Punk walk in with Sunny.


The fans can be heard booing loudly from inside the arena as Punk asks Bischoff why he wanted to see him. Bischoff tells him he’s been thinking about what happened to Rey last week and who could have attacked him. He says he could have jumped the gun in accusing Elijah Burke and then suggests that it could have been Punk, who looks very annoyed. He tells Bischoff that he welcomes competition and that Rey was his competition last week. He says that what happened with Jeff was personal and Rey was business, and that’s why he wasn’t responsible for attacking him. Bischoff tells Punk he’s going to hold back on judgment for now but says that since Punk’s first title defence was made easier last week, he’s going to make him defend his title tonight. He then says that since he’s seen what’s been going on with The McMahon family, it’s taught him a lot about how you should treat family and he will prove it later on. Punk and Sunny look confused as Sunny asks Bischoff what he’s getting at, but he just replies that they’ll find out in good time.



***CUT TO THE ARENA***


***MATCH #2***

Ron Killings
vs. Santino Marella w/Melina


ENDING:
Santino grabbed Killings by the arm and whipped him into the ropes, and as Killings came back, Santino hit him with an arm drag. Killings was back up straight away and ran back at Santino, and was able to duck underneath Santino’s clothesline attempt. As Santino then turned round to face his opponent, Killings took him down with a PERFECT JUMPING HEEL KICK ENZIGURI. . . . . The crowd liked that and cheered loudly as Killings went for a cover, but was only able to manage a two count. With Santino barely moving on the mat, Killings decided to go up high as he walked to the corner and climbed to the top rope before leaping off to connect with a DIVING LEG DROP. . . . . Melina looked worried on the outside as Killings tried another cover with Santino just kicking out at two. Killings looked a little disappointed as he sat up. He took his time standing up, allowing Santino time to get to his knees. Killings then tried to pull him up from his knees, but Santino low blowed him, causing the referee to call for the bell as Killings dropped to the mat clutching his groin.


AFTERMATH: Santino stood back up and looked down with disgust at Killings before arguing with the referee as to why he was disqualified. Santino gave up the protest quickly and left the ring along with Melina who walked round on the outside to meet him as Killings then sat up and stared back at them, not looking too happy

WINNER: Ron Killings by disqualification @ 5.40


***COMMERCIAL BREAK***


***VIDEO PROMO***




***CUT BACKSTAGE***


Todd Grisham
is backstage with Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston & Kelly Kelly. He reminds them of what happened last week by showing them the footage of The Colon Brothers attacking them both with a steel chair after Kofi’s match with Carlito before telling them that Carly and Eddie aren’t here tonight. Cody tells Todd that he’s not surprised and what happened was just one more example of how pathetic Carlito and Eddie are, accusing them of being bitter that Kelly didn’t like them and she liked him. He says it’s like being back at high school with the school yard bullies, and then says it’s gone way past being just jealousy and says that The Colon’s have made it personal. He says that he’s sick of having to look over his shoulder everywhere he goes just because Kelly chose him over them. He then says that he won’t have Kelly being insulted and that a couple of weeks ago, The Colon’s made a mistake, they got Kofi involved. Kofi tells Grisham that they have no respect and they’re gonna pay for that in a big way man! He says that he’s dealt with thugs in Jamaica and he’ll do here what he did back home, fight. He then says that if The Colon’s are so tough, they will turn up next week to fight him and Cody, challenging them to a tag match.


***CUT TO THE ARENA***


“Turn up the Trouble” hits as Mr. Kennedy walks down to the ring with a smug look on his face. He says that last week he told everyone that not winning the Royal Rumble wasn’t the end of the world and that he had an alternative option. He then tells everyone that he’s going to show them what it is right now as, on the tron we see the ending to last years Money in the Bank match at Wrestlemania with Kennedy collecting the briefcase. He then says that was the biggest win of his life and he didn’t need to win the Royal Rumble last year to get the guaranteed title shot at any World Champion. He mentions his track record at that time, beating World Champion after World Champion, even The Undertaker. He then says that there’s one big difference this year, he’s on Raw and Raw is full of ego’s even bigger than his, especially the Ayatollah of Crap Music, Chris Jericho, the same man he eliminated from the Royal Rumble eight days ago. He says he would love to eliminate Jericho from his life permanently when “Break The Walks Down” blasts out. Jericho walks down in his ring gear too looking pretty laid back with a microphone in hand. He tells Kennedy to “SHUT THE HELL UP” before saying that one win doesn’t make anyone a star, and that being a champion makes you a star. He then says it’s all well and good to win the title shot, but to not even get the chance to cash it in is embarrassing and exactly what Kennedy is, a joke!


Kennedy looks really pissed and tells Jericho he was injured, and if he hadn’t been, he wouldn’t be standing in the ring with a loser he eliminated from the Royal Rumble. Jericho says that a loser is someone who hasn’t held a world title, an ass clown like Kennedy, getting him more pissed. Jericho then says that the Money in the Bank was his idea three years ago and that he fully intends to win it this year. Just as Jericho and Kennedy square up, “Hell Will be Callin Your Name” hits as Lashley makes his way down to the ring, surprising everyone. He grabs a microphone from Kennedy and says that he’s not going to listen to excuses because he’s all about action. He then says that they can both argue over the Money in the Bank, but the fact is neither of them will win it because he will. Jericho and Kennedy don’t take Lashley seriously as he continues to speak, saying he should have won the Rumble and that he remembers it was Kennedy who put him on the shelf last year. He then says that’s all in the past and he’s looking to the future, and that Money in the Bank is his future, saying he will go through them both to get it. He looks very intense, worrying Jericho and Kennedy who are taking him seriously now. “I’m Back” hits & Eric Bischoff walks out to the entrance ramp with a microphone in hand and tells them he likes Lashley’s idea so much, he wants to see it right now. All three guys in the ring look confused as Bischoff then announces they will go at it in a triple threat match right now, getting a big pop from the crowd.



***COMMERCIAL BREAK***


***MATCH #3***

Chris Jericho
vs. Bobby Lashley
vs. Mr. Kennedy


ENDING:
Lashley was able to reverse a whip to the corner from Kennedy, who ended up hitting the corner pads himself. Lashley ran in at him and connected with a hard clothesline. Kennedy then staggered out of the corner with Lashley reacting quickly to scoop him up on to his shoulder, setting him up for the RUNNING POWERSLAM. . . . . As Lashley then ran across the ring with Kennedy on his shoulder, Jericho was getting back up, but Kennedy was able to slip down off the shoulder and pushed Lashley in to the corner pads. With Lashley dropping to the mat holding his chest, Kennedy turned round and saw Jericho on his feet, then ran at him, but Jericho saw him coming and grabbed his legs, setting him up for the WALLS OF JERICHO. . . . . The crowd went ballistic as Jericho locked the hold in with Kennedy looking uncomfortable and trying to do everything he could to stop himself from tapping out. Lashley though was able to break it up before Kennedy got in to too much danger by kicking Jericho in the head.

He immediately reached down and pulled Jericho in to position for the DOMINATOR. . . . . As Jericho was lifted in to the air, Y2J started to fight it and was able to slide down the back of Lashley and then nail him with the CODEBREAKER. . . . . It took Jericho a couple of seconds to react before he went for a cover, with Kennedy just breaking it up, diving across on his knees at the last second. All three men remained on the mat for a good while before Kennedy rose first, closely followed by Jericho with Lashley crawling to the corner. Kennedy helped Jericho up from his knees and set him up for the MIC CHECK. . . . . He got all of it, but seeing Lashley helping himself up in the corner, Kennedy stood back up, only for Lashley to charge out at him and nail him with a SPEAR. . . . . A pop rang out as Lashley reached over and went for the cover, picking up an impressive victory.



AFTERMATH: “Hell Will Be Callin Your Name” hits as Lashley stood back up to get his arm raised. He posed for the crowd and then left the ring as both Jericho and Kennedy started to come round

WINNER: Bobby Lashley by pinfall @ 9.34

The Redneck took his time and gave JTG the chance to escape as he back body dropped Murdoch, with both men hitting the mat as Cade looked on nervously and tried to encourage his partner. As JTG started to get up, Cade stepped through the ropes to get at him, but the referee was able to cut him off. With the ref’s back now turned, JTG & Murdoch were both getting up when Shad slid back in the ring and took Murdoch down with an ALABAMA SLAM. . . . . He then walked over to Cade and knocked him out of the ring with a hard right hand as JTG climbed to the top rope and dived off to hit a SPLASH. . . . .

***CUT BACKSTAGE***


Maria
is standing by and introduces Triple H as her guest to a huge pop. She asks him how he feels about The McMahon’s picking his match for Saturday Night’s Main Event. The Game says he’s not surprised he got screwed last week because he’s used to it by now, week after week, it’s one on three. He says that he has no choice but to do whatever Vince will end up deciding, just like Shane has his entire life and says that will happen to JBL. Maria asks him who he would like to face the most, and he says that he doesn’t care if it’s just one or all three of them in whatever kind of match they want, because he just wants to even the score. He says that he craves the chance at retribution to make them pay for what they’ve done to him and Stephanie, and says that tonight, he’ll pass that message on through their little bitch Orlando Jordan when he shows every single one of them what The Game’s all about.
