4/28 WWE Raw Results

(pics from WWE.com)

~Last week on Raw, there was loads of Backlash hype, "Hillary Clinton" and "Barack Obama" got destroyed by Umaga and Raw General Manager William Regal won the King of the Ring Tournament.



-The brand spanking new WWE champion, Triple H, comes down to the ring and announces that the "Age of Orton" is over.


-The former champ, Randy Orton, cuts HHH's celebration short and comes down to the ring. Orton tells the new champ that he is going to use his rematch clause at WWE's next PPV, Judgment Day. Eventually, Orton changes his mind and says he wants his rematch that night.



-WWE Women's Champion, Mickie James, Maria, Ashley, Michelle McCool, Kelly Kelly & Cherry beat Beth Phoenix, Victoria, Natalya, Melina, Jillian & Layla in a Backlash rematch.


-JBL runs over Robbie McAllister aka the guy who got caught at the TNA show in March. JBL calls out John Cena after the match.



-Paul London & Brian Kendrick defeat Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch.


-Paul Birchill & Katie Lea beat Super Crazy in a 2-on-1 intergender handicap.


-Raw GM William Regal is officially coronated as King of the Ring after winning the tournament on Raw last week. He says that since he is Raw GM and King of the Ring, he is now the most powerful man in WWE.


-Mr. Kennedy, who is appearing on Raw for the first time since the Money in the Bank Ladder match at Wrestlemania 24 back in March, comes down to the ring and challenges the new "king".


-He gets a punch in the mouth for his efforts.


-Cody Rhodes beats Santino Marella.


-The Highlight Reel is up next and host, Chris Jericho, presents Shawn Michaels with the "Best Actor in Sports Entertainment" award for his "performance" at Backlash.





-Triple H and Randy Orton have their WWE Title rematch but halfway through the match, Raw GM William Regal goes to the production crew and says he felt disrespected by the WWE fans during his coronation, so he tells them to take the show off the air. So the show suddenly ends without a conclusion to the HHH/Orton match.



I thought that ending was just crazy. It was a good cliffhanger and I'm actually excited to see how this plays out next week.

Poor, poor Robbie McAllister.

I really wish Randy Orton was still WWE champion. This isn't because I think HHH sucks as champ but I was really getting into the whole "Age of Orton" thing and I felt like as soon as it was introduced, the "Age of Orton" ended and he lost the belt.

I'm a big fan of Kennedy and I have high hopes for his feud with William Regal. I'm also still pretty skeptical of having William Regal as King of the Ring but he is a solid talent so maybe he'll grow on me.

~The show starts with “The Highlight Reel”, Chris Jericho’s talk show. Big Show is the guest and they start the segment by looking at highlights from last week when Show threw Floyd Mayweather out of the ring. They both have a little laugh about it but the friendly atmosphere changes when Show compares Jericho to Mayweather and says that he can beat both of them. Eventually, Show challenges Jericho for the Intercontinental Title, a belt that Jericho won from Jeff Hardy last week, later in the show. Jericho accepts.

-WWE Chairman (Owner) Vince McMahon announces that he’s going to face Ric Flair in a street fight. If Flair loses, he’ll be forced to retire.


-CM Punk beats Carlito. I can’t wait for the Money in the Bank Ladder match at Wrestlemania.


-Umaga takes a page out of Big Show’s book and beats Paul London & Brian Kendrick in a 2-on-1 handicap match, well actually, Kendrick left the match near the end and let his partner take the fall.

-Ric Flair runs into Shawn Michaels backstage and gets all hyped up, saying that he’s gonna win his match against Vince McMahon, that he once again doesn’t want any pity from Michaels and that he doesn’t even want to see HBK until their match at Wrestlemania.


-JBL squashes Colin Delaney, how random. Where’s Tommy Dreamer when you need him?

-Before we move on to the Flair/McMahon match, here’s a flashback to 4 months ago to explain why if Flair loses he’ll have to retire.



-Ric Flair nearly kills himself to beat Vince McMahon in a street fight.


Candice Michelle & Maria beat Victoria & Jillian.


After the match, Santino throws soda at Raw Color Commentator, Jerry Lawler. I just added this in because I found it pretty funny.


Chris Jericho gets himself disqualified in his match against the Big Show and keeps his title. Show lays Jericho out with a right hand after the match anyway.


-The 17-on-2 match of John Cena & WWE Champion, Randy Orton versus the whole (it was actually the majority) of the Raw roster ends in a no contest when after Cena and Orton eliminate a bunch of them one by one, the remaining wrestlers jump the two guys and lay them out. Triple H, who made the match due to him being the night’s special General Manager, comes out and continues beating on Cena and Orton to end the show.

There was a segment involving Santino Marella and Snoop Dogg, who will be the “Master of Ceremonies” (whatever that means) in the “bunnymania” match (whatever that is) at Wrestlemania. That was pretty funny.

I really hope they do something with Kendrick bailing on London, I know those two have the potential to have some crazy matches against each other.

There is so much emphasis on Triple H’s road to the WWE Title match at Wrestlemania 24, I kind of have a feeling he’s gonna win the belt.

But…There is also emphasis on John Cena, so maybe he’ll win.

But…There is also emphasis on Randy Orton. Honestly, I haven’t made up my mind on who I think is gonna win yet.

Only in pro wrestling can you hit your boss, and vice versa, repeatedly and have it be considered all apart of a day's work. I thought that Flair/McMahon match was gonna be pure garbage, and although it wasn't anything spectacular, I did enjoy it a lot more than I thought I would.

This next clip has everything, Subway, beautiful women and more of Santino acting a fool.

~Another episode of Raw occured last night, here's a reminder of some of the things that happened last week:



Here's what went down last night:


-The show starts with Raw GM William Regal assembling WWE Champion, Randy Orton, Triple H and John Cena together for a “photo op” before their 3 way match at Wrestlemania. Things eventually break down and Randy Orton ends up laying everybody out.


-WWE World Tag Team Champions, Cody Rhodes & Hardcore Holly beat Santino Marella & Carlito in a non-title match after Santino gets distracted after seeing his girlfriend, Maria, talking to Raw color commentator, Jerry Lawler.


-Chris Jericho defeats Jeff Hardy to earn a spot in the Money in the Bank ladder match at Wrestlemania.


-WWE Owner, Vince McMahon, “apologizes” for letting John Bradshaw Layfield destroying his illegitimate son, Hornswoggle during their cage match last week.


-But wait, there’s more. JBL comes down to the ring and tells Mr. McMahon that he is actually not Hornswoggle’s father. JBL goes on to name Finlay as the leprechaun’s real daddy.


-Umaga squashes D.H. Smith in a match.

-GM Regal announces Umaga will represent Raw in a cross-promotional brand match versus Smackdown at Wrestlemania. My guess is Smackdown will pick Batista.


-Shawn Michaels beats Lance Cade by disqualification when Cade’s tag team partner, Trevor Murdoch interfered in the match. Ric Flair comes out after the match and challenges Michaels to a match at Wrestlemania. If Flair loses, he’ll be forced to retire.


-John Cena & Triple H beat Randy Orton & Mr. Kennedy. After the match Kennedy takes out Cena while Triple H looks on, unconcerned.

I thought the opening segment was great. You could feel the tension between all three guys just jumping out of the television screen.


Jerry Lawler was so annoying on commentary during the tag match with Santino & Carlito.


Chris Jericho and Jeff Hardy had a really good match. Definitely match of the night.

Speaking of Jericho, I’m glad he’s is in the Money in the Bank ladder match but there was never a conclusion to his feud with JBL. They had a big one-on-one match in January that ended in a DQ win for JBL and then they both just moved on.

And speaking of JBL, I have nothing to say about the angle involving him, Vince McMahon, Finlay and the leprechaun.


No Mayweather or Big Show tonight.

The issue of Playboy featuring Maria will be released on March 7...*cough, cough*...not that I read such material.


Wrestlemania 24 Press Conference


~WWE held their press conference hyping up Wrestlemania yesterday afternoon.

The only thing I found of interest from the press conference was Floyd Mayweather (clad in Yankees gear at the LA press event) “making it rain” onto the crowd.


“Money” Mayweather to Make Millions from WM Match


~According to an Associate Press article, Floyd Mayweather, who is slated to have a one-on-one match with The Big Show at Wrestlemania 24, will receive $20 million for his participation in the March 30 event.

Wow, that’s a lot of zeroes.

Smackdown Finds New Home


~WWE’s television show “Friday Night Smackdown” will be moving to MyNetworkTV in the fall. The CW Network currently carries Smackdown and it was recently announced that they would not be seeking to extend WWE’s contract when it expires in September.

Personally, I like Raw better anyway.
