~Last night's Raw saw John Cena added to the WWE title match at Wrestlemania, which also includes Randy Orton, the WWE champion, and Triple H, the new #1 contender.

At the start of the show, Raw General Manager, William Regal, announced that because Orton intentionally got himself disqualified at No Way Out Sunday night, he would face John Cena in rematch with Triple H as the guest referee. If Cena won, he would be added to the main event at Wrestlemania.

Cena gets the win over Orton but both men get taken out by Triple H as the show ends.

Other notables from last night include:

-Floyd Mayweather and Big Show agreeing to a match at Wrestlemania.

-Jeff Hardy and Mr. Kennedy becoming the first two entrants for the "Money in the Bank" Ladder match at Wrestlemania.

[*Note* The MITB is a match involving multiple wrestlers, usually either 6 or 8, using a ladder to try and get a briefcase suspended over the ring. In the briefcase is a contract for a guaranteed WWE Title, World Heavyweight Title or ECW Heavyweight Title shot depending on the winner's choosing. This year would mark the fourth year this match will take place at Wrestlemania. Edge (2005) and Mr. Kennedy (2007) are former winners.]

-Vince McMahon, the owner of WWE, defeats his illegitimate son, Hornswoggle, in a steel cage match.

-Maria announcing that she is going to pose for Playboy magazine.

-Ric Flair being announced as the first entrant in this year's WWE Hall of Fame class. He will be the first Hall of Famer inducted while also on the active roster (everyone else is usually already retired).

~According to prowrestling.net, Oscar de La Hoya, who lost to Floyd Mayweather in a boxing match last May, will not be taking any part in the current angle involving Mayweather.
