ECW on Sci-fi Results 1st January 2008
The show kicks off with the usual opening package, followed by the ECW Heavyweight Champion CM Punk making his way to the ring. Punk does a promo on his attack two weeks ago, and that tonight he would get his revenge. Chavo Guerrero comes out to the ramp, and demands an ECW championship match. Punk tells Chavo to defeat him tonight, and then he will think about it.
Royal Rumble Qualifier John Morrison & The Miz Defeated Balls Mahoney & Stevie Richards A decent tag match, although Morrison & The Miz never really looked like losing. Mahoney was working very stiffly here, and Morrison took some hard shots. Richards looked impressive, but it was all over when Morrison hit the Corkscrew Neckbreaker on Mahoney, quickly followed by the pinfall. Rating: 65%
Shelton Benjamin is backstage with Lena Yada. Benjamin hyped his upcoming match against Tommy Dreamer, before flirting with Lena.
Shelton Benjamin Defeated Tommy Dreamer A good match, which saw the technical prowess of Benjamin face off against the hardcore skills of Tommy Dreamer. Dreamer looked close to winning numerous times, hitting a piledriver on Benjamin, who sold it perfectly. Benjamin would hit a strong kick to the head of Dreamer, closely followed by the T-Bone Suplex for the win. Rating: 70%
Matt Striker is backstage with Big Daddy V. Striker cut a promo hyping Big Daddy V, before waning everybody than an impact will soon be made.
CM Punk Defeated Chavo Guerrero Not the best main event, Punk came out strong and fast, hitting Guerrero with a variety of kicks and quick grapples to gain control. Guerrero would take the cheap route, hitting an eye poke and a low blow in the blind spot of the referee. Punk would dodge a frog splash attempt, and would hit the GTS on a stunned Chavo for the three count. Rating: 74%
Post match, while CM Punk celebrated with the title Matt Striker came from behind jumping him. As Punk was preoccupied with Striker he didn’t notice Big Daddy V making his way to the ring. V demolished Punk, eventually hitting him with a huge splash. V then held the title up in the middle of the ring.
Overall Rating: 71%

Edge cut a promo about tonights beat the clock sprint. Vickie then says that it does not matter who wins, nobody can take the title away from Edge.
Beat the Clock Sprint Ric Flair Defeated Kenny Dykstra at 13:24 A good match which saw the past meet the future. Flair was fighting for his career, and it definitely showed, as he went all out to beat Dykstra. Dykstra would not go down without a fight though, at one point nearly getting the win after a guillotine leg drop. Flair would kick out however, and roll Dykstra up for the three count. Rating: 76%

Beat the Clock Sprint Kane Defeated Mark Henry at 12:40 A horrible match, the crowd were completely behind Kane, but no matter what Kane did Henry wrecked the match, barely selling the whole match. Kane put Henry away with the Chokeslam. Rating: 68%
Finlay is backstage, getting ready for his beat the clock match. MVP walks by, holding the United States Championship. Finlay and MVP squared up to each other. MVP warned Finlay that if they faced off, then Finlay has no chance of getting a World title shot.
Beat the Clock Sprint Rey Mysterio Defeated Finlay at 15:53 An excellent match. Finlay seemed driven after MVP’s comments and he came out strong, using his power advantage to control the match. Mysterio’s quick moves would keep Finlay off guard however. Mysterio got out of a power bomb attempt, and hit the 619, followed by the dropping the dime for the pinfall victory.

Taker had the power advantage, and used it to dominate the early stages of this match. MVP used cheap tactics to fight back, including a steel chair shot while the referee was down. Taker fought back however, countering a playmaker, and hitting the Tombstone for the victory. Rating: 82%
Post match Finlay jumped MVP, obviously taking offence at MVP’s comments earlier in the night. Security managed to stop the brawl.
SmackDown Co-General Manager Theodore Long is backstage, holding a briefcase. Long opens the briefcase to reveal the WWE Cruiserweight championship. Long announces that next week a new Cruiserweight Champion will be crowned in a fatal four way match between Jimmy Wang Yang, Shannon Moore, Chavo Guerrero & Jamie Noble.

Batista would fight back however, but would end up hitting the referee after being thrown by Khali. Batista would hit a spear, but Edge would attempt to interfere with a chair, but also received a spear. Batista would then use the chair on Khali, and would get the pin when the referee recovered. Rating: 69%

WWE.COM The Great Khali releasedThe Great Khali has been released from World Wrestling Entertainment. We wish him all the best in his future endeavors. PW InsiderEdge/ Batista, New Rumble competitors- Expect an Edge/ Batista feud to last until No Way Out. It is most likely that the title will be kept on Edge, although Batista may win it in time for WrestleMania.
- WWE.COM has added The Undertaker, Hardcore Holly and Chavo Guerrero to the Royal Rumble Match. Hardcore Holly defeated Trevor Murdoch at a RAW house show to qualify, while Chavo pinned Jimmy Wang Yang at a SmackDown/ ECW house show.

RAW Results 7th January 2008
RAW kicks off with the usual opening package, followed by Chris Jericho, who is ready to host the highlight reel. Jericho talks about last week’s alteration between him and JBL, also showing clips of the event. Jericho then introduces JBL, who makes his way to the ring. After some back and forth insults between the two it looks like the two are about to brawl. Jericho takes a step back, and challenges JBL to a match at the Royal Rumble. JBL accepts, before cheap shotting Jericho. Jericho tackles JBL and the two brawl until security breaks the two up.
DH Smith Defeated Val Venis The match was good, but the crowd did not seem interested in this match at all. This was a short match, Smith controlled most of it, putting Venis away with the Running Powerslam. Rating: 61%
Carlito is backstage with new RAW interviewer Eva Torres. Carlito does a promo hyping his upcoming Royal Rumble qualifier. Carlito promises that he will win his next match, and then go on to win the Rumble itself.
Royal Rumble Qualifier Carlito Defeated Super Crazy A surprisingly good match, both Carlito and Crazy went all out, especially Crazy, who hit a number of high spots, including a massive cross body from the top rope which nearly got him the win. Carlito would end up dodging a top rope superkick, and would then hit the Backstabber for the win. Rating: 72%
Triple H is backstage getting ready for his match against Jeff Hardy later tonight. Vince McMahon walks up to him and the two square up. Vince hands Triple H a sledgehammer, who asks what he is meant to do with it. Vince tells Triple H that if wants to be involved in the WWE Championship match at the Royal Rumble. Triple H tells him what he is up to. Vince replies “If you want in, then prove it, tonight. If you does, then you will be in”. Vince walks off with Triple H looking down at the sledgehammer.
Paul London & Brian Kendrick Defeated Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch The match itself was one of the best tag team matches in recent memory. Cade & Murdoch did not seem to be on the same page, and this is what left to their downfall. Murdoch would attempt to hit a big boot on Kendrick, who ducked, which led to Murdoch’s boot connecting with Lance Cade, who walked back into a rollup by Paul London. Kendrick would dropkick Murdoch out of the ring, while London got the three count victory. Rating: 74%
Post Match Trevor Murdoch started shouting at Lance Cade, who just ignored him and left.
Shawn Michaels is backstage with Eva Torres. Michaels does a promo talking about his loss last week to Mr. Kennedy. Michaels says that Kennedy got lucky, and that tonight, he gets back to winning ways.
Shawn Michaels Defeated Umaga An excellent match, the crowd really got behind Shawn in this power V. technique match. Umaga controlled a lot of the match, looking unstoppable early on. Michaels came back with some risky moves, including an elbow drop from the top rope. Michaels hit the sweet chin music but before he could go for the pin Mr. Kennedy ran to the ring with a steel chair, blasting Michaels over the head causing a disqualification. Rating: 83%
Post match Mr. Kennedy continued the assault, grabbing a chair and repeatedly hitting Michaels with it. Kennedy shouted “It was not a fluke” before leaving.
Triple H is once again backstage. Jeff Hardy walks up to him having seen Triple H’s encounter with Vince McMahon earlier tonight. Jeff asks if everything is cool, and Triple just says “I’ll see you out there” before walking off.
Jeff Hardy Defeated Triple H An excellent main event which the crowd really got into. Jeff really looked good, and proved that he is a capable main eventer. Triple H looked driven, really intent on winning. Jeff nearly got the win after hitting the twist of fate out of nowhere, but he only got a two count. Triple H would eventually hi the pedigree, but instead of pinning Jeff he went outside and reached under the ring, pulling out the sledgehammer Vince gave him earlier. Triple H then proceeded to blast Jeff with the sledgehammer clean across the skull, causing a disqualification. Rating: 83%
Post Match as Jeff slowly got to his feet Triple H once again smashed him with the Sledgehammer, this time in the ribs, before smashing Jeff over the skull with it. Triple H shouted “The game is back” to the fans as Jeff laid in the middle of the ring, blood pouring out of his skull.
