NWO - Opening up with the Smackdown Chamber is nice, MVP & Punk starting out is good as it gets them in the spotlight. Kane coming in next is fine, wish MVP lasted a bit longer but oh well. Mark Henry next in is fine and liked him dominating that section. Undertaker eliminating Henry with the Gogoplata is cool, though it is weird to see the 2 heels eliminated leaving the four faces. Finlay in last is an odd choice as is him tasting the double chokeslam to be eliminated, seems like that would be something saved for Henry. Nice to see Punk in the final two with Taker as it gives him a big rub. Ultimately I think the right man came out on top, with a couple of weird booking choices in getting there.
Well written segments for Edge concerning Undertaker winning the chamber and John Cena hyping up his chamber match. Liked Mr. Kennedy going over Lashley and using the Green Bay plunge is ace, good promo by Jeff Hardy. I originally thought this 4 way tag wasn't elimination, might've prefered it that way as to protect multiple teams. Glad it came down to Miz/Morrison & Burke/Benjamin though and Miz & Morrison retaining is the correct choice. Batista segment was solid.
I actually only realised now how much I hated Kofi winning that battle royal, he lost clean and any momentum he may have had is gone and now he is left without any real direction, I'm guessing you probably are going to throw him in MITB though. I didn't know if I'd like JBL as ECW Champion, but you've done a really good job with him already and I'm loving him as champ.Like interviewing all of The Raw chamber participants, makes the match seem really big.
Liked the story of Edge going after Batista's knee and using the same spots as The Rumble against Mysterio. Glad the La Familia involvement was kept to a minimum. Don't know about the DQ finish, but I'll wait and see where it goes. Jericho choosing the WWE Championship was expected, now to see who he'll face.
Jeff Hardy & Triple H starting off was nice, liked the spot of Umaga immediately knocking Hardy off. Like that it took all 3 finishers to put away Umaga. Liked Triple H eliminating Shawn Michaels. The Swanton suicide dive on the 3 sounded like a sick spot, loved it and it eliminating Hardy as well. Liked the final spot of Randy being left outside the cell for Triple H and Cena to battle it out whilst eliminating Cena and having Orton opportunistically pick up the win. However Orton/Jericho is such a meh main event expecially after they already faced each other at Armaggedon, don't really know who you could add to it to make it less meh and the booking in the chamber didn't really help in saying someone else deserves a shot bar maybe Triple H but that's a bit of a stretch.
Anyway, booking wise probably not your best show, it was well written though and you always come up with innovating spots and finishes that are well written and realistic making the matches a delight to read. I think the right people came out winners for the most part and I am especially looking forward to your take on Taker/Edge and how you go about the WWE Title picture since I don't think you can really do Orton/Jericho. It was still a decent show, but for your standards it wasn't the best. But keep it up.

It's time for Elimina- I mean... No Way Out! Nice to see Lance Cade go over in the pre-show match. Typical way to kick off the event with an Elimination Chamber match. A huge victory for The Undertaker and now that he is going to WrestleMania, the question remains... will he be taking on Edge or Batista? I say Batista. I guess Mr. Kennedy with a victory was necessary, but I do hope to see Bobby Lashley with some success soon, hopefully defeating Kennedy at WrestleMania or something? Really happy to see John Morrison and The Miz retain the WWE Tag Team Championships, I think it really solidified their reign as Champions. An obvious victory for John Bradshaw Layfield as giving Kofi Kingston the ECW Championship would have been terrible due to his short career thus far, but I love him getting the shot as it really shows that he is a major contender for the future. A disqualification finish for Edge and Batista was clever, allowing Edge to retain the World Heavyweight Championship. So this means we will see the same Edge versus The Undertaker we saw at the real WrestleMania XXIV. Good to see Batista as the one standing tall in the end though. An obvious choice for Chris Jericho to choose the WWE Championship, but who will he face? In the words of Booker T... WHUT DU HEAL! I have no idea what I just read because that ending was insane. Randy Orton sneaking away only to come back, un-eliminated due to technicality and Punt Triple H to take the victory. Very well thought through and I loved it. Triple H must get revenge though, that's for sure. All of this is grand, but I'm just wondering where this leaves John Cena and Jeff Hardy, two top contenders who seemingly won't be involved in the WWE Championship situation. I'll wait and see, but overall, a great show. Or as tg11 would say; "MY BOY RANDY ORTON PUNTED THOSE BITCHEZ!"

Okay for Mania 24 we have Edge vs. Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Championship, the title vs. the streak, I am calling it right now Undertaker will beat Edge to go 16-0 and become the new World Heavyweight Champion
WWE Championship, we already have seen this main event of Orton vs Jericho but at Armageddon 2007 with Orton winning and I am sure there are other people like myself who don't want to see this main event happen again unless someone is added into the match, makes more sense that way if it is a Triple-Threat Match or if it is a Fatal 4-Way Match for the WWE Championship
That is why I hope it is Orton vs Jericho vs Cena or Orton vs Jericho vs Cena vs HHH
Money In The Bank who I think will be the 8 superstars in it are: Kofi Kingston (ECW), John Morrison (ECW), Shelton Benjamin (ECW), MVP (Smackdown), Matt Hardy (Smackdown), Cody Rhodes (RAW), Lance Cade (RAW), and Jeff Hardy (RAW)
Flair will be in the Hall of Fame headlining this class and as for who joins this class, everyone's guess is as good as mine

nWo Taken me awhile to reply to this because it's another killer of a show. Great job on it, Dan. I like MVP and CM Punk starting the match off because of their contest this past Friday on Smackdown. I think I would have preferred to have Finlay come out of the pod next, considering his recent history with Porter. Punk going all the way to be in the final two left in the Chamber is great, nice showing for Punk. Predictable for 'Taker to win, but it was the best call to make. Hopefully this is the start of a long Undertaker/Edge feud, because they stole that year with their matches. Nice match from Bobby Lashley and Mr. Kennedy here, I'm glad you had Kennedy retain the strap. I was worried Bobby would win it, but save that for down the road. Kennedy deserves a nice reign as champion. Tag title match going on next is the right call, disappointed the United Kingdom went out first. Even more disappointed that Morrison and Miz went over Burke and Benjamin, but I suppose Morrison and Miz could use a longer reign. JBL retaining the title was expected, and you just saved Kingston's momentum by having him kick out so much. Kofi needs a win this week though, hopefully to qualify for Money in the Bank. Still excited to see JBL's future as ECW Champion. I also like how you're giving all the RAW chamber participants interview time to hype up the match tonight. Good booking. Edge retaining the title by getting disqualified as classic Edge from this time period. Even though this does mean Batista and Edge will need another match on Smackdown! to settle things, especially after Batista's rage post match. Which, may I add, was a great touch. Batista Bomb through the announcers table is always a nice spot. We all knew Jericho would pick the WWE Championship with the Smackdown! chamber, but it was good promo from the Royal Rumble winner. Jeff Hardy and Triple H starting off the chamber was great as well, considering their Armageddon bout. Umaga eating three finishers to get taken down like in real life was nice, and Jeff Hardy's suicide dive was amazing; only to get eliminated. Triple H wins, that's cool, but what about Orton, would hate if the clothesline spot took him out. Oh shit! Great finish with Orton outsmarting Hunter and Cena, but now Wrestlemania can't just come down to Jericho vs. Orton. Overall, the pay per view was predictable at some points, but it's February. The job of No Way Out is to build Wrestlemania, and that was accomplished here. Job well done, Dan, and the Chamber write ups were fantastic.

WWE Monday Night RAW - Monday 18th February 2008 - Anaheim, CA [/color] NOW IN HD!Dark Match: Vladimir Kozlov def. Super Crazy @ 3:28 after the Shoulderbreaker.We kick off RAW tonight with a replay from last night's No Way Out pay-per-view event, as six men entered the Elimination Chamber, the structure scheduled to hold all six superstars in the main event for the WWE Championship belt. It was gruelling, as Umaga, Shawn Michaels and Jeff Hardy all led themselves to defeat, as Triple H was hell bent on regaining the WWE Championship one more time, taking the "One Man Dynasty" out of the structure with a clothesline to the floor. Meanwhile, Triple H and John Cena fought bone to bone, these two supposedly the final two men in this Chamber when Hunter nailed Cena with a Pedigree to pick up the WWE Championship once again. But Orton then re-emerged from under the structure, a massive punt to the skull of the "Cerebral Assassin" to successfully retain the WWE Championship! But now, the Road to WrestleMania is getting faster and faster, what will happen tonight!? The opening video package to Monday Night RAW aired, and we cut to the live Honda Center in Anaheim for the fallout from No Way Out! Pyrotechnics went off, and Jim Ross alongside Jerry "The King" Lawler introduced us to the show, discussing all of the highlights of last night's pay-per-view. The theme of the "Game" immediately hit, as Triple H limped his way down the rampway, not here to take in the fans' reaction in California! Triple H wasted no time climbing into the ring and securing a microphone as the fans cheered him on, a bandage printed on the forehead of Triple H. The "Cerebral Assassin" looked frustrated, as he told Randy Orton that concussion from his punt or not, that he wants him for the WWE Championship one-on-one, no bullsh*t, tonight! The fans roared, as Triple H talked about how this so-called "One Man Dynasty" has done a good job, because he's pulled this off twice against the "Game", he kicked Triple H when he was down at No Mercy, and then again last night, and he's sick and tired of the "Viper" weaseling away from whatever life throws at his ego-thickened skull! Hunter told the fans and Orton that he wasn't going anywhere until he got what he wanted, but that's when suddenly the theme of Y2J hit, and out came the Royal Rumble winner! Chris Jericho was given a great reaction as well, as Jericho climbed into the ring and asked Triple H why he was so angry. Y2J told Hunter that he saw what happened last night, and he didn't like it one bit either, but on top of anything, he now knows what to expect from the "Viper" at WrestleMania. Triple H glared Jericho in the eyes, asking Y2J why he was out here to hog his spot once again. Jericho fired back, asking Hunter why he had to come along and hog HIS spot several years ago, ironically on the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania X8! Chris told Hunter to let it go, and go find something else to do because now was the "Ayotollah of Rock and Rolla"s time to shine! The crowd felt the tension as the two stood face to face when... The theme of Randy Orton hit, and out came the "One Man Dynasty", as the WWE Champion was also sporting a bandaid on his head, the brutal effects of the Elimination Chamber last night. Orton stood on the rampway and talked about how nobody expected anything of him until March 30th, especially after what he went through last night. Orton talked about how in the past five months in the Age of Orton, he's beaten both of them. He's fought through everything, and No Way Out definitely secured his legacy, his spot was cemented in the main event of WrestleMania XXIV! Orton told them that he was sorry to disappoint, but this was his time, and he couldn't wait to beat Y2J's head in in Orlando next month, because he'd definitely take Jericho out of the WWE once again. Orton then went to leave as Hunter started calling Orton a coward that wasn't wanting to fight him, and that's when the theme of the RAW General Manager hit! William Regal made his way out to the rampway, as Regal talked about how this was a very interesting situation. Which is why as RAW General Manager, tonight Randy will defend that WWE Championship one more time when he defends against the man who originally won the Chamber match last night, Triple H! The winner will meet Y2J at WrestleMania. Regal left, as Y2J was left stood in the background, Hunter glaring at the outraged "Viper". | COMMERCIAL BREAK |An advertisement aired, promoting the encore presentation of No Way Out. We returned to RAW to see John Cena arriving at the arena, and he didn't seem very happy either after coming so close to winning the WWE Championship one more time last night. 1) Lance Cade def. Trevor Murdoch to qualify for the Money in the Bank Ladder match @ 4:53This was a match between two former World Tag Team Champions, as Lance Cade's ego has certainly increased in the past month or so, ever since he managed to eliminate Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker from the Royal Rumble match. Trevor Murdoch was left alone feeling unwanted, but tonight he was allowed to get his hands on the arrogant Cade. This was also our first Money in the Bank qualifying match, the winner of this being the first of eight participants in a Ladder match at WrestleMania XXIV. Murdoch got a positive reaction, a new theme supposedly sang by himself. He got in several hard shots on Cade, as Cade tried to cower out to ringside, but when Murdoch grabbed Cade for the Ace of Spades just for Cade to headbutt Murdoch down low, and Lance then pleaded that the low blow was an accident to the official, Cade then simply put Murdoch away with the sit-out spinebuster to pick up the win! The crowd booed as Lance Cade celebrated his win over his former partner, Trevor Murdoch, and despite the sneaky antics he won with, it was more important to note that Cade was going to be the first of eight men from RAW, SmackDown and ECW to be in the Money in the Bank ladder match at WrestleMania! We returned to the backstage area where William Regal was in his office, the RAW General Manager reading a book when suddenly the WWE Intercontinental Champion, Mr Kennedy wandered in flapping his gum, and Regal asked what Kennedy wanted. The champ told Regal that he got the job done last night, he did a better job than anything Regal ever did as the WWE Intercontinental Champion for damn sure! Regal chuckled, telling Kennedy that he hasn't done much in comparison just yet, in fact he had just finished writing a match up for tonight, because he'd be defending that title against Bobby Lashley again tonight, but this time in a No Disqualification match! Regal told "sunshine" Kennedy to go and get ready. Regal was booking title matches left, right and centre tonight! | COMMERCIAL BREAK |2) Candice Michelle def. Mickie James and Melina in a triple threat match to gain contention to the WWE Womens Championship @ 4:34This match was to determine our next number one contender to the WWE Womens Championship, and still to come we were scheduled to have Maria's Playboy cover unveiled by Jerry Lawler, but right now Beth Phoenix was watching the action from the rampway as these three Divas pitted it out in a slugfest. Candice Michelle and Mickie James worked together for the main part, double teaming Melina and continuously eliminating her before going at it for themselves. Mickie and Candice traded a series of blows before Mickie knocked Candice out with a Chick Kick, then going for the Mickie DDT just for Melina to throw her off-balance, then connecting with the Sunset Split just for Candice to come from behind, the Candywrapper giving Michelle the win! The fans cheered Candice Michelle as she stood in the ring, staring Beth Phoenix down, and she knew that next week could be her big chance to get retribution on the "Glamazon" for taking her out of action, and to reclaim what was hers originally, the WWE Womens Championship! We cut to the backstage area where Mike Adamle was standing by with John Cena. The fans cheered as Cena was asked about his thoughts following the Elimination Chamber match last night. Cena told Adamle to learn someone's damn name, because he wasn't in the mood to be called "John Kenah" tonight. Cena talked about how last night didn't go his way, Randy Orton cowered out of his punishment, and he's still not satisfied. Cena talked about how he was not about to let him get away. He was late to the arena, so he missed what Orton, Triple H and Chris Jericho had to say, but regardless, the fact of the matter is that he is here and he wants some of Orton's ass, Triple H present or not! Hunter's got beef too, but his can wait because John has waited five long months to get his hands on the "Viper" and make him pay and reclaim what he never lost! Cena stormed off, Adamle left a little intimidated, wondering why everyone was in a bad mood tonight. But also in the back was a remotely pleased "Heartbreak Kid", and Shawn Michaels had his video tape in hand, and he'd be revealing who attacked Ric Flair last month, next! | COMMERCIAL BREAK |The theme of the "Heartbreak Kid" hit to bring us back to RAW, as out strutted Shawn Michaels himself, the fans cheering HBK on as he walked with a slight limp as a result of the bumps and bruises he sustained in last night's Elimination Chamber match. Michaels climbed into the ring and took a microphone, talking about how it has been a crazy thirty days in the WWE. Last month, his idol, mentor and potential Hall of Famer Ric Flair was attacked prior to his entrance into the Royal Rumble. Nobody knows who attacked him, nor does he, but due to New York's poor postal service, the CCTV video tape footage finally arrived at his house in San Antonio, Texas last Wednesday afternoon. He noted how it wasn't cheap, either. Michaels then talked about the disappointment he received when he was eliminated from the Elimination Chamber added to that, but he knows Triple H knows well and good, that it was every man for himself, and Hunter just got the revenge that Shawn got on him in November 2002. Michaels told the fans that he wouldn't bore them anymore, because he was going to show us the video footage! It played, showing the "Nature Boy" slicking back his hair and strutting up and down the hallway getting ready for the Royal Rumble match when suddenly a big man attacked him from behind wearing a mask, slamming a steel chair over his head and then across his back. The masked man then propped a bleeding Flair up to his feet and knocked him down with a single punch. We cut back to Michaels in the ring, but suddenly... "WOOO!" The "Nature Boy" was here! Ric Flair slowly walked down the rampway to a great reaction from the Anaheim crowd, as Flair strutted around and looked great, Flair stood before Shawn Michaels and told Shawn that his concerns were far too much. Flair tells HBK that he appreciates his support, but Flair can still stand, and as long as he's still standing, he can handle putting on his own diapers. Flair followed up, talking about how the guy's hand was huge and it knocked him out so hard that he couldn't feel his face for three days after that! But what's important is that he's here, and he appreciates Michaels, but he can do this alone. HBK told Flair that he simply didn't get it before rolling out of the ring and leaving, Flair not sure what just happened. HBK reached the top of the stage and looked back at Flair, disapproval in his eyes when suddenly he turned around to get knocked out with a right hand from The Big Show! The crowd were stunned as Show walked down to the ring, climbing into the ring with Flair and taking a microphone. He talked about how he was back in the WWE, and that he was back to make as many impacts physically possible to man. And his first, he tried to take Ric Flair's career without even showing up. But here he is again, and he's not happy to see him in this ring. Which is why last night, he signed an official WWE contract to rejoin the company, and next week under orders from Mr McMahon; Big Show will take on Ric Flair with Flair's career on the line! Show dropped the mic and grinned, the crowd booing whilst Flair looked scared, Show stepping over Michaels' body as he laid motionless on the rampway, the "Showstopper" is back! A graphic aired, promoting the fact that WrestleMania XXIV was live on pay-per-view on Sunday, March 30th 2008 from Orlando Florida; 41 days remain! 3) Mr Kennedy def. Bobby Lashley in a No Disqualification match to retain the WWE Intercontinental Championship @ 8:23These two had quite the slugfest last night at No Way Out, but Mr Kennedy managed to come out on top, but Bobby Lashley didn't want it to happen again, interrupting the WWE Intercontinental Champion as he introduced himself as the "greatest Intercontinental Champion in WWE history", and Lashley went right into it, stomping a mudhole into Kennedy in the corner, Kennedy firing back with an eyepoke and sending him out to ringside. Lashley then speared Kennedy through the ringsteps though, Kennedy in danger of losing his title! | COMMERCIAL BREAK | We returned to RAW as Kennedy was shown regaining momentum during the commercial break with a sly steel chair shot from the announce position. Kennedy worked over that previously worked on shoulder, the shoulder Kennedy went after last night at No Way Out, and Kennedy seemingly had Lashley put away with an armbar, a steel chair wrapped around the upper arm of the challenger! But Lashley managed to fire out, nailing Kennedy with a rabid steel chair shot, and Lashley was preparing for the Spear. Lashley charged, but Kennedy put the chair in the way, swiftly nailing the Mic Check to get the win! The crowd booed as Mr Kennedy breathlessly rolled out of the ring, the official handing him his WWE Intercontinental Championship as Kennedy had flew through another loophole here against Bobby Lashley! Lashley was holding his shoulder in the ring, but tonight was all about Kennedy! We went to the backstage area where Randy Orton was shown with Todd Grisham, Grisham trying to get some words with the "Viper" prior to his WWE Championship match tonight with Triple H. Orton seemed angry, talking about how he won that Elimination Chamber match fair and square, he outsmarted the "Game", and he made Triple H play his own game! Orton talked about how Hunter always held him down, and so maybe his WrestleMania XXIV opponent Chris Jericho is right; Hunter is a glory hog! But tonight, he'd get the job done once and for all, and punt that stupid "Cerebral Assassin" right in the skull one more time, maybe he won't come back through that concussion! Orton left, fuming. | COMMERCIAL BREAK |4) Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes def. Carlito and Santino Marella to retain the World Tag Team Championships @ 4:30A back and forth match, as this match had been anticipated since two weeks ago on RAW, where Santino Marella wasn't in the right state of mind to challenge for the titles turning it into a singles match. Tonight was their chance though, as Cody Rhodes and Carlito started off, Cody putting up a fight but falling to Carlito's offense, the experience factor setting in, and the third generation member of the Colón wrestling family was beginning to do a number on the second generation Rhodes. Carlito tagged in Santino, the Italian looking distant and hesitant, as he then joined the match just to fall to Cody's Silver Spoon DDT, and just like that Hardcore Holly got the tag, Cody knocked Carlito off the apron with a running dropkick, and the Alabama Slam gave the champs a simple victory! The crowd cheered as Santino Marella remained down on the canvas whilst Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes hugged and embraced another defense of the World Tag Team Championships before leaving. Carlito re-entered the ring looking quite unimpressed, and he went over to Santino, chewed on his apple and spat right into Santino's face, Marella's eyes remaining fixed on the rafters! Something was wrong with Santino. A montage aired, focused around Jeff Hardy's high flying behavior, particularly last night in the Elimination Chamber match, and how Hardy was stretchered out of that match with three broken ribs; the "Charismatic Enigma" the victim of a Swanton Bomb from the top of the Chamber structure. Nonetheless, next week we will see Hardy in action against Umaga with the winner being the second RAW superstar in the Money in the Bank ladder match! Maria was shown seductively walking down the corridor, as Jerry Lawler began getting overexcited, as Maria's Playboy cover unveiling was coming up next! | COMMERCIAL BREAK |We returned to RAW as the red carpet was down, and Jerry Lawler was stood in the ring welcoming us to the unveiling of Maria's Playboy cover, and the "King" talked about how excited he was to witness this right next to the Playboy bunny herself. He introduced Maria, who made her way down to the ring to a great reaction from the Anaheim crowd, wearing quite a revealing dress as well. Maria got into the ring and took a microphone, talking about how great this opportunity was for her and she's happy that everybody in Anaheim is here to witness it. But that's where she was quickly cut off dead by the sound of her ex boyfriend, Santino Marella then walking out holding the back of his head, Marella walking down to the ring to boos as Maria rolled her eyes at him. Santino got into the ring and asked Maria if he could apologize one more time; stating that he hasn't been able to concentrate ever since she left him. He got down on his knees and pleaded for her to not go through with exposing "his" beautiful body to the world of young teenagers and creepy old American men! Santino almost started sobbing as Jerry told Santino to hit the bricks, Marella telling Lawler not to kick him when he was down because he would do a Steve Austin and open the can of ass whoop on King Jerry! The fans were amused, but that's when suddenly the theme of Ashley hit, and out came the Playboy covergirl of last year's April edition! Ashley came down to the ring and simply kicked Santino in the balls, Marella comically dropping down to his knees and onto his back like a dead animal; Ashley then taking his microphone! Ashley told Maria that she didn't need him anymore, she was her own woman. Maria smiled as Ashley told Maria that Santino treated her like garbage, and that she shouldn't take him back; and so Maria accepted. She happily presented to the world the most beautiful cover Jerry Lawler had ever seen! But that's when Santino took off his shirt and tried to cover it back up, Maria shoving Santino back, and Lawler responded by breaking the canvas of Maria over Santino's head! Lawler raised the Divas' hands in victory before they left. We then saw Triple H in the backstage area taping his fists, and up next was our main event; Triple H looks to get revenge and the WWE Championship he nearly won last night out of Randy Orton, up next, the title on the line! | COMMERCIAL BREAK |Chris Jericho's theme hit, as the 2008 Royal Rumble winner made his way out to the arena to a loud ovation, Y2J seemingly here to do commentary, as he was getting ready to face the winner of this match for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania XXIV. 5) Randy Orton vs Triple H; no contest for the WWE Championship @ 11:22Triple H wasted little time in getting to the ring, as he met Randy Orton on the aisle, Hunter immediately with a spinebuster to the WWE Champion! The "Cerebral Assassin" was on fire as he continued the attack around ringside, and that's when Chris Jericho stepped in, a steel chair shot across the spine of the "Viper"! Y2J was soon after escorted away from ringside by the official and then William Regal, as the fans booed the General Manager loudly for this decision. The "One Man Dynasty" was in a worse way now even after the Elimination Chamber match last night at No Way Out. Hunter worked the spine, relentless with some spinebusters and backbreakers, before even setting up for his patented running high knee along with the facebuster; Triple H going for the Pedigree, but Orton got out and gave Hunter the inverted neckbreaker, perhaps giving more caution to the concussion Triple H is sporting following the punt Orton gave him last night at No Way Out. Orton worked over the head, targeting with a chinlock before Hunter fired back, and everybody flew out of their seats as the "Game" came back with the facebuster, and the spinebuster! Triple H set up for the Pedigree and it connected, covering just for Orton to get his foot on the bottom rope! Orton and Hunter continued to brawl around ringside, the cut on Hunter's forehead reopening after last night before suddenly John Cena darted down to ringside, jumping Orton with the Lou Thesz press! The fans went ballistic as Hunter then started attacking Cena, Chris Jericho soon reappearing, steel chair in hand and as he swung for Orton, he laid out Triple H inadvertently! The official threw the match out, as Cena went after Jericho, Triple H and Randy Orton meanwhile out of it still, and the direction of the WWE Championship was blurred once again! Cena delivered an FU onto Jericho in the ring, then going to Orton at ringside and applying the STFU on the "Viper"! Orton was tapping, but Cena wasn't done, William Regal, trainers, agents, referees all coming out to break up the hold; these four men wanted revenge on one another, and they all wanted it over the WWE Championship and the main event spot at WrestleMania XXIV, as RAW went off the air![/center] WWE HEAT - Sunday 24th February 2008 Charlie Haas & Val Venis def.

Raw - Nice to see Triple H open the show and talk about what about happened at NWO and challenging Orton to a match, the interaction between Jericho & Hunter was a bit weirdly written, but it was nice to bring up the past and the tension between the two. The Randy Orton stuff was good though. Nice win for Cade over his former partner to get in MITB, Cade's going to need to do something interesting or show something since his Rumble elimination if I'm going to get behind this push. Nice segment between Kennedy/Regal and the match between Kennedy/Lashley should be good. I guess you're going for Beth beating the playmates thing, which is fine the divas division is rather dull though at this time but theres not much you can do about that. Lol loved Cena mocking Adamle stuffing up people's names even though it's only been what one time. Nice promo too calling out Orton. Nice to see Ric Flair back, Big Show attacking him was a shock, nice to see him back as well, I'm guessing he was put up to it by someone though, match next week should be fun. Kennedy/Lashley sounded good, glad Kennedy went over but hope Lashley gets a main event push soon. Glad Rhodes/Holly went over though now with Carlito/Santino broken up along with Cade/Murdoch Raw's scene doesn't appear to have many heel tag challengers. Maria playboy segment was fine, but why did Lawler attack Santino unprovoked? Orton/Trips sounded like a good main event but I really liked the aftermath with Cena, Jericho, Trips and Orton, really well written and intriguing, I'm still not 100% on the match it seems you are going for but your segments are really well written out hyping it and is at least getting me into it so good job.
Overall a solid Raw, not a whole lot happened Wrestlemania build wise besides the main event but the seeds were planted and you seem to be going in some good directions. Keep it up.

Triple H opening the show off only to be interrupted by our WWE Champion my man Randy Orton was great, Orton is magnificent, he truly is a One-Man Dynasty, a Viper, and then Jericho comes and interrupts, and I love HHH & Jericho interacting and then Orton interrupting that by telling them that he has beaten whoever has been placed in front of him including them 2 and then he goes to leave and then Mr. Regal the GM coming out and saying that my man Orton has to defend the WWE Championship his WWE Championship again especially after going through hell the night before, this isn't fair and especially against HHH and the winner faces Jericho at Mania
John Cena is in the arena, something is bound to happen
Lance Cade beating Trevor Murdoch to qualify for the Money In The Bank, this is great, which means only a big push for Cade
Regal/Kennedy backstage segment with Regal telling Kennedy that he will be defending the WWE Intercontinental Championship against Lashley but that this time it would be a No DQ match, this is going to be great, 2 championship matches on one show, this is going to be great
Candice Michelle beating Mickie James and Melina in a Triple-Threat Match in order to become the #1 Contender for the WWE Women's Championship, this is going to be great, which means Candice will be getting her Women's Championship match at WrestleMania 24 against Beth Phoenix the WWE Women's Champion
Cena's interview with Adamle is great, Cena is pissed and understandably so
HBK/Flair segment, we find out who really attacked Flair back at the Royal Rumble and come to find out that it is the returning Big Show, Big Show was the one who attacked Ric Flair, wow what a shocking twist, not even I would have called that one and that Big Show was the masked man. This is awesome and that Big Show is officially back in the WWE and that he has signed a contract
So which brand will Big Show be on? Will he be on RAW or Smackdown?
Big Show needs to be on Smackdown because they are lacking in star power right now
And Big Show is going to be facing Flair next week on RAW with Flair's career on the line, I wonder if HBK will get involved or if HHH will get involved or if Batista will get involved since they are all close to Flair and they would want to help him out
Kennedy beats Lashley yet again to retain his WWE Intercontinental Championship, Mr. Kennedy isn't losing his title anytime soon and Lashley if I were you, I would just set my sights on the WWE Champion Randy Orton
I love my man Orton's interview, really intense and I hope he punts HHH in the skull one more time so that way we don't have to see HHH for a really long time
Hardcore Holly & Cody Rhodes beating Santino & Carlito to retain their World Tag Team Championships, awesome, and what was great was Carlito turning on Santino after the match
Jeff Hardy vs Umaga next week with a MITB qualifying spot on the line, my money is on Jeff Hardy to qualify next week
Maria/King segment with Santino was funny as hell and Maria breaking up with Santino
Orton and HHH's match ending in a no contest because Cena had to stick his nose where it didn't belong and then with Jericho afterwards and all hell breaking loose
I hope we have ourselves a Fatal 4-Way match at WrestleMania 24 for the WWE Championship with Randy Orton my man defending his title against the 2008 Royal Rumble Match winner Chris Jericho and against John Cena the former WWE Champion and oh against Triple H too
Then the odds would really be stacked against my man Orton in terms of him retaining his title but I already know that at Mania 24 he will, it doesn't matter who is put in front of him, he will beat them because that is what he does, he is a winner

ECW on Sci-Fi - Tuesday 19th February 2008 - San Diego, CA[/color] NOW IN HD!We kick off ECW on Sci-Fi tonight with a replay from last Sunday night at No Way Out, where it was the undefeated rookie, Kofi Kingston challenging John Bradshaw Layfield for the ECW Championship. Kofi gave it his all, kicking out of the "Wrestling God"s finest moves, but in the end it was simply too much for Kofi, as JBL put him away, Kofi left motionless and his streak broken. We then went to the arena, where the San Diego Sports Arena were all here for ECW, booing as John Bradshaw Layfield graced the HD Tron. JBL began to talk about how he didn't think he'd enjoy a tenure on ECW, it's always been the bottomfeeding brand in the WWE. But ever since he became ECW Champion, people are congratulating him. Layfield talked about how in his three short weeks as ECW Champion, Layfield has turned this riff-raff brand around, and is grooming it to be the greatest brand ever. And it's dedicated to the very best, but the very best cannot beat the "Wrestling God". JBL grinned as the ECW Championship sat on his shoulder; sighing and claiming "JBL is ECW" in pure satisfaction. But that's when suddenly the theme of CM Punk hit, and the "Straight Edge Superstar" made his way out to the ring gingerly, Punk with an outstanding effort this past Sunday night, forty eight hours following the hardest match of his life in the Elimination Chamber at No Way Out. The fans cheered Punk as JBL asked Punk what he wanted, then asking Punk if he enjoyed having his ass kicked by the "Phenom" the Undertaker forty eight hours ago. Punk told Layfield that he wasn't here to listen to JBL try and rebrand the show that he only appeared on the first time ever three weeks ago, whilst CM Punk has been on ECW kicking ass since the first time he stepped foot in an ECW ring in 2006. Punk came here with one thing in mind, and that was to be the greatest to ever step foot in an ECW ring, and he won't allow JBL to take that from him! Layfield asked Punk what he was going to do about it before Punk told JBL that he still was allowed to cash in his rematch clause, and he wants Layfield for the ECW title tonight! Layfield told Punk that he'll enjoying kicking his sorry ass one more time. The opening video package for ECW on Sci-Fi aired, as we cut to the sold out San Diego Sports Arena, as pyrotechnics went off; Joey Styles and Tazz welcoming us to the fallout edition of ECW following No Way Out! They discussed some of the occurrences from last Sunday before talking about what just occurred between JBL and CM Punk, the ECW Championship on the line tonight. 1) John Morrison def. Elijah Burke to qualify for the Money in the Bank Ladder match @ 8:37This match was our second of eight qualifying matches to advance into the Money in the Bank match at WrestleMania XXIV, but these two certainly have a rivalry underway as John Morrison and The Miz have competed with Elijah Burke and Shelton Benjamin in recent weeks over who the better team was, and in a four corner elimination match last Sunday night at No Way Out, it came down to Miz and Morrison with Benjamin and Burke; but the WWE Tag Team Champions managed to sneak away with the titles retained. The "Tuesday Night Delight" was confident but the brash, hard-hitting Elijah Burke managed to slap Morrison around with some heavy blows. The fans were behind the "Elijah Experience" as he continued, but soon ran into trouble as Morrison gave Burke a pelé kick out of nowhere! | COMMERCIAL BREAK | The match continued with Morrison having Burke locked in an octopus stretch, Burke vying to fight out, finally managing to escape as he came back with several punches, Morrison trying to fight back with kicks, but an uppercut sent Morrison down in the corner! Burke set up the Elijah Express, but The Miz ran down to ringside to distract Elijah; and Morrison came back with a springboad kick to Elijah, picking up the victory! John Morrison celebrated his win to boos as The Miz helped the "Tuesday Night Delight" out of the ring; Morrison and Miz soon making their way to the back whilst Elijah Burke looked like he had been screwed, like he had, by the WWE Tag Team Champions. We cut to the backstage area where Armando Estrada was shown talking to Tommy Dreamer, the "Innovator of Violence" talking about how much he wants Estrada to give Colin Delaney a chance on ECW. Estrada asked Dreamer what dues Delaney ever paid; as part of the JBL Era, the ECW General Manager wants to follow in the suit of the ECW Champion's orders. Dreamer looked disgusted, talking about how he was one of the hard working men that wasn't accepted in the WWE that made ECW the legacy that it had on sports entertainment. While he was getting his ass kicked and bent over for severe singapore cane shots, JBL was only just getting his teeth as a goofy member of the New Blackjacks! Meanwhile, Delaney has paid his dues over and over, he's fought the Great Khali, Mark Henry, Big Daddy V, Kane, amongst others! And he wants Estrada to give him a chance on ECW. Estrada thought it over, then deciding to give Delaney one easy task for the ECW contract, but it will be next! | COMMERCIAL BREAK |An advertisement aired, promoting the encore presentation of No Way Out. 2) The Great Khali (w/Ranjin Singh) def. Colin Delaney (w/Tommy Dreamer) in a Two out of Three Falls, No Disqualification match @ 4:43This was Colin Delaney's chance to shine, but Armando Estrada came out after Colin and Tommy Dreamer were already in the ring, as Estrada told Delaney that he would have to face the Great Khali, in a two out of three falls, no disqualification match to gain an ECW contract. Delaney was easily finished off in the first fall after the Khali Chop, but the "Punjabi Nightmare" wasn't done, however Tommy Dreamer had had enough of this, climbing into the ring and delivering several hard hitting shots with the singapore cane, the "Innovator of Violence" then managing to take Khali down with the DDT to give Delaney one fall! Estrada was fuming, as Dreamer set Khali up for more singapore cane shots, just for Ranjin Singh to get into the ring, Dreamer slamming the cane into Singh's skull! Khali then slapped the cane out of Dreamer's hands and nailed him with a sidewalk slam; Delaney attempting to roll Khali up but Khali easily blocked it, and the Vise Grip put Delaney away! The crowd booed as the Great Khali celebrated his victory, helping Ranjin Singh up and Armando Estrada seemed very pleased with Khali's destructive behavior; Colin Delaney and Tommy Dreamer down in the ring! But you knew that this wasn't going to be it for Delaney or Dreamer. An advertisement aired, promoting the fact that WrestleMania XXIV, live on pay-per-view on March 30th, 2008 from Orlando Florida, was only 40 days away! | COMMERCIAL BREAK |A replay from last Tuesday night on ECW on Sci-Fi aired, where Balls Mahoney and Kelly Kelly teamed up to take on Mike Knox and Layla, with Knox getting the win after laying out his former girlfriend, Kelly Kelly, making an impact in the process. 3) Kofi Kingston, Stevie Richards and Balls Mahoney def. Mike Knox, Matt Striker and Big Daddy V @ 6:12This was a slightly thrown together match courtesy of the undercard of ECW on Sci-Fi; and Kofi Kingston was just coming off of a loss to John Bradhsaw Layfield, and in return he was given a great reaction for his efforts. Big Daddy V meanwhile was on a rampage recently, after losing to the Brothers of Destruction last Friday on SmackDown, he seemed unstoppable as he teamed with his manager, Matt Striker. Mike Knox wasn't very well liked by his partners tonight, but he got the job done in dismantling Stevie Richards and managing to take Balls Mahoney down on several occasions. Knox had Mahoney in a bear hug, but he finally got the tag to Kofi Kingston who ran in, Knox was tagged out by Striker, but just as Striker got into the ring, chaos broke loose as all six men got involved; but the "Jamaican Sensation" managed to wrap up the victory with Trouble in Paradise for the win! Kofi Kingston celebrated his win as Matt Striker was helped out of the ring by Big Daddy V; the "Mastodon" and Striker leaving Mike Knox behind as Stevie Richards and Balls Mahoney joined the "Jamaican Sensation" in celebration in the ring. Kofi was back on the top of his game, while Balls' team had won this match for Kelly Kelly! We cut to the backstage area as Eve Torres was standing by with John Morrison and The Miz, as Eve wanted to get some post-match comments from the "Tuesday Night Delight" following his victory. Morrison talked about how they were on a roll, they were the WWE Tag Team Champions, they had a new WWE.com segment set to debut known as the "Dirt Sheet", and now the "Shaman of Sexy" was going to WrestleMania XXIV and leaving with the Money in the Bank briefcase! The crowd booed them until Shelton Benjamin and Elijah Burke came from behind, the fans cheering as all four men traded blows, shoving and slamming each other into walls, until many officials rushed onto the scene, trying to separate these four men! Meanwhile, CM Punk and John Bradshaw Layfield were on their routes to the ring, and up next, the ECW Championship and the rematch clause are both on the line as we get set for our main event! | COMMERCIAL BREAK |A graphic aired, as Joey Styles and Tazz promoted next week's ECW on Sci-Fi as we will see the Great Khali face Tommy Dreamer, Stevie Richards will face Mike Knox, and CM Punk will face SmackDown's Chavo Guerrero, but in addition we will be in the presence of a mystery legend! We'll find out who it is next Tuesday night from 10/11 CT on the Sci-Fi Network. 4) John Bradshaw Layfield def. CM Punk to retain the ECW Championship @ 8:39The "Wrestling God" was here to defend his relatively new ECW Championship against the former ECW Champion, the "Straight Edge Superstar" CM Punk. And you could imagine the pain Punk was going through headed into this one, having lasted half an hour in the Elimination Chamber, and coming so far just to lose. But that might not matter as Punk wanted his title back three weeks after losing it, delivering several stiff kicks to harm Layfield and JBL soon decided to take a break. Punk continued the attack with a suicide dive, continuing the work over Layfield and beginning to crash some elbows into the collarbone of the ECW Champion, Layfield eyepoking his way out of it! Layfield then took Punk down and began to work over the challenger, the Straight Edge being beaten down by the classic beer drinker, Layfield getting Punk ready for a powerbomb, but Punk somehow managed to turn it into a hurricanrana! Punk followed up with the step-up knee in the corner, stunning the ECW Champion, and Punk had Layfield up on his shoulders, the GTS connecting! Punk covered, but Chavo Guerrero came out to ringside of all people, pulling the official out of the ring at two! The referee argued with Chavo before Punk went after Chavo with a suicide dive, then climbing back up to the top rope and going for the springboard crossbody, but Layfield caught him midair with the Clothesline from Hell for the three! The crowd booed as John Bradshaw Layfield celebrated his win, Chavo Guerrero out at ringside on one knee with a huge grin on his face, as the official handed the "Wrestling God" his sneakily retained ECW Championship, and CM Punk had been screwed here tonight by JBL and Chavo Guerrero! The JBL Era ruled on as ECW on Sci-Fi went off the air.[/font][/center]

ECW Review
JBL opening the show off as the ECW Champion so rightfully should addressing his fans like how only he can, until Punk sticks his big fat nose where it doesn't belong ranting and raving about JBL beating him and how he wants his rematch for the ECW Championship tonight, well good luck Punk but all you have to know is that when JBL beats you, don't come crying for yet another re-match
Morrison qualifying for Money In The Bank by beating Elijah Burke, this is awesome, Morrison is my pick to win Money In The Bank and cash it in on either the WWE Champion or on the World Heavyweight Champion
Dreamer trying to get Delaney an ECW contract still, you have got to be kidding me, honestly? When will Delaney give up, he just doesn't have what it takes to hang with the stars of ECW, I don't know why Dreamer wastes him on Colin to tell you the truth
Great Khali beating Colin Delaney, I saw this one coming a mile away, like it wasn't even like it was close, it was a landslide victory if you ask me
Kofi getting the win for his team with him, Balls Mahoney and Steven Richards beating the team of Knox, Striker and Big Daddy V, awesome, Kofi needs all the momentum in the world especially after his loss against JBL at No Way Out
The Dirt Sheet making its debut
And JBL beating Punk again to retain his ECW Championship, because Chavo gets involved this time to cost Punk the match
How come La Familia is getting involved in Punk's matches? Either way I see Punk somehow getting into Money In The Bank and winning the briefcase and if he does, Edge better look over his shoulder if he is still champion or let's say Undertaker wins, Punk can cash in on him or whoever the WWE Champion is, let's say it's Orton, Punk can cash in on Orton

"THERE IS NO WAY I AM ALLOWING RAW TO GET OUT OF HAND"[/size] WWE.com UpdateWritten by John James on 2/20/08WWE.com previously hosted an interview with RAW General Manager William Regal following this past week's chaotic conclusion to the WWE Championship match. It must be noted that Regal seemed extremely serious and angered throughout, as he commented on the behavior of some of his brand's talent. "I refuse to stand by and allow certain superstars treat my authority with total disregard for what's good for business" he commented. "People like Mr Kennedy seem to walk around as if they run the show, but the bloody scumbags don't understand who the General Manager is, and people like that have no business being here, let alone representing the people as Intercontinental Champion". Another question asked about the morale of the locker room appeared, as Regal responded confidently. "There are quite the few outcasts in the locker room. Santino Marella for one, he's usually happy and trying to interact with the big boys, but he's always certainly rejected" he told WWE.com, "He tried engaging in a conversation about potentially lining him up for a WWE Championship match and I shot it down dead in his tracks", the 40 year old claimed. "The fact is, he needs to prove something, and get that dirty slapper Maria off of his mind". The former multi-time Tag Team and Intercontinental Champion also mentioned the main event scene, blasting it. "In my eyes there are four top dogs in that locker room that present something to the table. One of them is our WWE Champion, Randy Orton", the British GM commented. "In my eyes, he has to have eyes in the sides, front and back of his head whenever he's out there, because fluke winners such as Triple H, and undeserving ratarses such as Chris Jericho are constantly after him. Not to mention John Cena". "John Cena has seen his time come and go, but now is the "Viper"s time. He's happy to have a man like Orton represent the RAW brand as the headliner. The fact is, Chris Jericho, Cena, Triple H; they've all had their opportunity to be the top of the mountain". Regal then discussed with us how he didn't want to speak out much more, as he had to make some very important calls, one with the Chairman, Mr McMahon. Regal concluded, stating firmly; "I don't like the busy division that is the WWE Championship scene. Everyone wants something they supposedly need to fulfil their interests, when in actuality they're looking for a bigger payrise, or to steal all of the glory. Which is why no matter how out of control the locker room gets whenever Y2J or Orton are in that ring, he will not allow people like Triple H or John Cena get involved. And to the people that have been requesting that Hunter and Cena be placed in the WWE Championship match at WrestleMania XXIV; it will NOT happen. There is no way I am letting RAW get out of hand, and any doings so will result in severe consequences."[/center][/font]

WWE.com presents... The Dirt Sheet #1! The opening of the video included Howard Finkel introducing the WWE Tag Team Champions, as John Morrison and The Miz then appeared in directors chairs in front of the trademark WWE Studio background curtain, as they welcomed everybody to the soon-to-be first episode of the Dirtsheet. They discussed their dramatic win last Sunday at No Way Out, managing to overcome the comical combination of hillbilly bumpkins, Jesse and Festus; the only half-decent British superstars that the WWE can find: and that's not a compliment, the United Kingdon; and the second incarnation of the Nation of Domination, Elijah Burke and Shelton Benjamin! Miz then states how Burke nor Benjamin exactly have the same charisma that The Rock did, either.
They then went on to talk about how WrestleMania XXIV was coming up, and John Morrison managed to secure himself a date with destiny that night, because he'll be competing in Money in the Bank! The Miz then commented, telling the viewer how he was going to join the "Tuesday Night Delight", and that for the first time ever, a tag team...no, THE greatest tag team that the WWE has to offer, will both win the briefcase, and they will change the world of sports entertainment when the WWE Tag Team Champions hijack the WWE and World Heavyweight Championships, implementing their legacy!
They cut a one liner about who was talking about Kane in Hollywood, then stating how NOBODY was talking about the "Big Red Monster". Morrison called Kane's feature film See No Evil a "brainfart" before moving on.
They then discussed their opposing brand's tag team champions, Cody Rhodes and Hardcore Holly. Miz talked about how Cody has the look of a grape, and his hairstyle is clearly there to kiss Shane McMahon's ass! Morrison told Cody that he may as well bleach his hair blonde, gain 100 pounds and dress in polka dot trunks and be 10% better than he currently is. Morrison mentioned Hardcore Holly, how he's been around for a while now...then reminding everybody of "Spark Plugg" Bob Holly.
They wrapped up the show this week, telling us to tune in again next week.[/font]

WWE SmackDown! - Friday 22nd February 2008 - San Diego, CA [/color][/center] Dark Match: Deuce 'N' Domino (w/Cherry) def. Jason Riggs and James Curtis after the Crack In Da Mouth.A replay from last Sunday night at No Way Out aired, as it was Edge taking on Batista for the World Heavyweight Championship in a heated match fuelled by the "Animal" wanting retribution on the World Heavyweight Champion for injuring his good friend, Rey Mysterio at the Royal Rumble. Batista fought hard, looking for the retribution in Edge stealing what he thought was his back at Armageddon, but after the "Rated R Superstar" discovered that he couldn't seem to beat Batista, he got himself disqualified, leading to Batista getting frustrated and delivering a Batista Bomb to the champ through the announce table. Meanwhile, earlier in the night we saw six men put their bodies on the line for the chance to go to WrestleMania XXIV to face the World Heavyweight Champion, but only one man managed to come out on top; the Undertaker!
The opening video package for SmackDown aired, before we cut to the sold-out San Diego Sports Arena in California for the fallout edition of Friday Night SmackDown, five days separated from the eventful extravaganza that was No Way Out! Michael Cole and Jonathan Coachman introduced us to the show, hyping up an appearance from the "Nature Boy" Ric Flair, to hear his comments officially for the first time since his attack at the Royal Rumble; plus, Finlay will take on Mark Henry in a Money in the Bank qualifying match!
The theme of Rey Mysterio hit to shockingly start off this episode of SmackDown, and out came the man himself, wheeling himself out in a wheelchair, the fans in his hometown going crazy for the masked man, Mysterio still with a smile on his face as Rey had a microphone, talking about how he'd kill to be able to pull off a hurricanrana on somebody right about now. Particularly Edge! Rey talked about all of the trauma that La Familia and Edge put into his knee, so much that he had to get surgery on it, taking him out of action and putting him on the shelf for several months. The crowd booed this as Rey talked about how one day he would be back to reclaim what is his, and that is the World Heavyweight Championship! The fans cheer, but that is soon cut off by the theme of the "Rated R Superstar" hit, as Edge came out to the rampway with Vickie Guerrero in a wheelchair, as the fans booed loudly. Edge laughed as he saw Mysterio, asking Rey how he was after he took one climb too much and wound up with a bad knee. Edge told Rey that he simply did what he had to do; Rey's head was getting too big and so he took him out of his spirits, out of this ring! Rey responded, asking Edge how big his head was, considering that he cowered from Batista last Sunday night at No Way Out! The fans cheered as Vickie then took a microphone about how Rey didn't seem to be a winner either, he loses the World Heavyweight Championship, he loses the power of his legs thanks to another knee mishap, and now he has lost his spot on the SmackDown roster! The fans loudly booed, as Vickie called for Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins to take him away, as the Edgeheads came out, Hawkins delivering a dropkick taking Mysterio out of his wheelchair! The crowd booed, Ryder and Hawkins then dragging Mysterio down to the ring on their shoulders, where Edge joined them to prepare a Spear, but as he ran for it, the "Animal" Batista rushed down to the ring, a spear for Edge from Batista! Batista picked up a microphone as Edge rolled out of the ring to be helped up by his Edgeheads, whilst Batista demanded a rematch for the World Heavyweight Championship tonight, and Edge accepted! But it wouldn't just be Batista challenging, because Chavo Guerrero would be as well!? Batista still looked ready, helping Mysterio up as the odds were stacked against the "Animal".
A limousine pulled up outside of the San Diego Sports Arena, and out stepped the "Nature Boy" himself, Ric Flair walking with a slight limp and he was still under the hostile effects of a beatdown from the Big Show last month at the Royal Rumble! Flair made his way into the arena for his potential last appearance on SmackDown, tonight!
| COMMERCIAL BREAK |
An advertisement aired, promoting the fact that WrestleMania XXIV was on March 30, 2008 from Orlando, Florida; only 37 days away!
A replay from last Tuesday night on ECW on Sci-Fi aired, as it was John Morrison in action against Elijah Burke in our second of eight Money in the Bank qualifying match, and with the help of The Miz, it was the "Tuesday Night Delight" who managed to pick up the win and go on to the WrestleMania ladder match! But later that night, following an interview with the WWE Tag Team Champions, they were attacked from behind and engaged in a backstage brawl with Elijah Burke and Shelton Benjamin!
The WWE Tag Team Champions stood in the ring as we returned to SmackDown, the crowd booing as John Morrison and The Miz talked about competition and how they weren't getting any. Except from one persistent pest of a pair in Shelton Benjamin and Elijah Burke. The "Chick Magnet" warned that their Fifteen Minutes of Fame were reaching an end, challenging Burke and Benjamin to a Fifteen Minutes of Fame match this following Tuesday night on ECW.
1) John Morrison and The Miz def. Chuck Palumbo and Jamie Noble (w/Michelle McCool) @ 5:24 Jonathan Coachman was harping on a lot about the supposed success of John Morrison and the Miz's recent webcast of the Dirt Sheet on WWE.com, as the "Chicken Magnet" started off with Chuck Palumbo, Palumbo managing to take Miz to the limit, the biker not wasting any time in partaking in body shot after body shot in the corner, followed up with the snake eyes! Palumbo was ready to go for the Full Throttle, but Miz managed to turn it around into a neckbreaker. Miz and John Morrison stomped away at Palumbo and kept him away from Jamie Noble, unorthodox method by the WWE Tag Team Champions, as Palumbo soon fired back just to walk into a springboard crossbody by the ever-agile "Tuesday Night Delight"! But Palumbo once again managed to fire back, a flapjack on Morrison connecting before making the hot tag to the new fan favourite, as Jamie Noble rushed into the ring and took Miz out with a running neckbreaker, then with a backslide nearly pinning Morrison, but Morrison kept a hold of Noble and planted him on his head with the Moonlight Drive for the win!
The crowd booed as John Morrison celebrated his win to boos, as The Miz joined him. The WWE Tag Team Champions celebrated their win together and left, whilst Chuck Palumbo slid into the ring and gave Jamie Noble a sharp big boot! The crowd booed as Palumbo was frustrated, yelling at Noble whilst Michelle McCool soon approached Palumbo, trying to reason with him, but she was pie-faced down to the canvas, then delivering the Full Throttle on poor Noble, Palumbo leaving, obviously not happy!
In the backstage area we saw Edge in La Familia's locker room, sitting down with Vickie and Chavo Guerrero as he discussed about their situation tonight, Vickie commenting on the disrespect shown by Batista in the honest firing of his injured buddy Rey Mysterio. Chavo told Vickie that Rey deserved to be fired for his defiance on so many occasions, he's happy he did it. Edge then told Chavo their strategy for tonight, as Edge told Chavito to wear down the "Animal", and Edge would go in with the Spear and grab the three. Chavo didn't seem that pleased with this, as he asked Edge what would happen if Guerrero got the cover instead! Edge told Chavo simply that he would be stripped of the title and fired. Chavo got up and stared Edge in the face, telling him that he'd see before the "Latino Warrior" left!
| COMMERCIAL BREAK |
A vignette aired, showing the past victories of the "Phenom" the Undertaker, as the "Deadman" was 15-0 at WrestleMania, defeating the likes of Diesel, Jimmy Snuka, Sycho Sid, Kane, Randy Orton, Batista and Triple H, but next month, will the Undertaker be challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship against Edge? Or would he face Batista or Chavo Guerrero at WrestleMania XXIV?
2) Jimmy Wang Yang def. Drew McIntyre (w/The United Kingdom) @ 6:41 Jimmy Wang Yang was here as the scapegoat to the United Kingdom faction for their early defeat in last Sunday's WWE Tag Team Championship elimination match at No Way Out. Wang Yang put up a fight against Drew McIntyre, one of the future stars here on SmackDown, without a doubt. Wang Yang took McIntyre off of his feet with wise moves, armdrags and quick dropkicks managing to catch the unsuspecting Scotsman off-guard. Dave Taylor and DH Smith then started helping McIntyre out, pulling on the middle rope as Jimmy Wang Yang went for a springboard moonsault, Wang Yang falling into the arms of McIntyre, who delivered a full nelson slam on Wang Yang! McIntyre then pounded away at Jimmy and had him in a bear hug, Wang Yang soon managing to break out, as he went up for the moonsault, but McIntyre dodged it! The Scot went for the big boot, but Wang ducked and rolled Drew up for three!
The crowd cheered as Jimmy Wang Yang sprung up to his feet before running into a clothesline from DH Smith! The crowd booed, as Smith delivered the Running Powerslam, Dave Taylor also helping out with some stomps, whilst Drew McIntyre took a microphone. McIntyre discussed how their intentions were set on the WWE Tag Team Championships, and what happened last Sunday night was a mere fluke! The United Kingdom would soon become the WWE Tag Team Champions! McIntyre then delivered one last Scot Drop to Wang Yang before leaving.
We cut to the backstage area as we saw Finlay making his way down a corridor, Mark Henry walking down another with Matt Striker following, and our third Money in the Bank qualifying match was coming up next!
| COMMERCIAL BREAK |
We returned to SmackDown to see Chavo Guerrero talking about how unfair this entire situation was, that he was having to let Edge get the win for all of the work that the "Latino Warrior" did in taking out the "Animal" Batista. He then ran into a producer backstage, as he asked Chavo if he had seen the new line-up for the main event. Chavo was confused, as he stated that General Manager, Vickie Guerrero had ordered Chavo out of the World Heavyweight Championship match, and that Guerrero was now facing Kane tonight! Guerrero seemed outraged as he stormed off.
3) Finlay (w/Hornswoggle) def. Mark Henry (w/Matt Striker) by disqualification in a Money in the Bank Qualifying match @ 8:19 This was a back and forth match to close out the first hour of SmackDown, Finlay and Mark Henry all competing in a Money in the Bank Qualifying match, the winner of this going on to WrestleMania XXIV to compete with seven others, two already confirmed as being John Morrison and Lance Cade. The "Fighting Irishman" managed to pound the hell into Mark Henry, but the "World's Strongest Man" managing to use his strength to fire back, a fallaway slam connecting. Both of these men were suffering the effects of last Sunday's Elimination Chamber, as Matt Striker's attempts to interfere were counter-acted by the attack from Hornswoggle comically. Mark Henry went for the World's Strongest Slam, but Finlay fell backwards over the top rope, both men out on the floor, and that's when Mark Henry grabbed Hornswoggle and kicked him in the chest, the leprechaun flying across ringside! Shillelagh in hand, Mark Henry slammed it into the ribs of the "Fighting Irishman", then sending Finlay spine-first into the ring post!
The crowd booed as Mark Henry repeatedly yelled "I don't need this!", then going for the World's Strongest Slam on the floor on Finlay, just for Hornswoggle to grab Mark's foot, Henry then picking Hornswoggle up instead, but Finlay gave Mark the chop block, Finlay helping Hornswoggle up and leaving, as Finlay was going to Money in the Bank!
Ric Flair was shown walking through a hallway, and the "Nature Boy" will address the SmackDown audience before his career threatening match with the Big Show next Monday night...next!
| COMMERCIAL BREAK |
The theme of the "Nature Boy" hit as we returned to SmackDown, Ric Flair slowly strutting his way out to the arena dressed in a suit as always, strutting with a slight limp and this San Diego crowd were loving it. Flair slowly approached the ring and climbed inside, Flair taking a microphone and talking about the biggest challenge of this career threatening situation he was in, is the fact that he could be challenged at any time and in any place. Flair noted how he wasn't prepared for any contest he may have to participate in, but he never thought in his life that he'd have to go one on one with the Big Show. Flair talked about how he hadn't seen him in over a year, and that he thought the "World's Largest Athlete" was done with wrestling. He constantly called him, how he was getting on with boxing, but now he's being laid out by the same man that he shook hands with, and it's frightening. Which is why he wants to take the opportunity to up the toll just a little bit; how about this Monday night on RAW, when Flair faces Big Show face to face in Ric's potentially final match, they make it a submission match! The fans cheered, as Flair told Show that he's heard he's in the Sports Arena tonight, and so he wants the big man to come out and accept his invitation.
With that, the theme of the Big Show hit to a loud chorus of boos, the man that attacked Ric Flair last month at the Royal Rumble making his official return to SmackDown for the first time in three years! Show climbed into the ring, with a microphone in hand, a smirk on his face as Show talked about how if he wanted to, he could crush the "Nature Boy" and simply take him out of the company in one foul swoop. But he's not going to let that happen. Show talks about the reason he left the WWE over a year ago because of nobody being able to take him seriously. And so he stands here today with all of the reputation in the world. All of the fear is with the "World's Largest Athlete". Big Show is here to take no BS, and knock everybody out, because he knows he can do it all again. He can be the WWE Champion once again if he wanted to, and it all starts with the "Nature Boy" this Monday. He'll make Flair tap alright, in the most dangerous and humiliating way possible; he's been working on his submissive acts, and he knows he can get the job done by ending Flair's career with a Figure-Four Leglock. The World's Largest Figure-Four Leglock! The crowd booed as Show told Flair that he'd see him on Monday night, leaving Flair in concern.
A graphic aired, promoting the first official inductee into the 2008 Hall of Fame ceremony to be held the night before WrestleMania XXIV, and it will be announced on Monday Night RAW!
| COMMERCIAL BREAK |
4) Montel Vontavious Porter def. Shelton Benjamin in a non-title match @ 6:26 This was an interesting match, as Shelton Benjamin was in better shape than the WWE United States Champion as of late, especially after Montel Vontavious Porter participating in a gruelling Elimination Chamber match this past Sunday at No Way Out. The "Gold Standard" made a point of targeting the arm of Porter thanks to that, dropping several knees across the arm and continuously pounding away at the "Half-Man Half-Amazing" competitor. Benjamin continued as MVP tried to up the pace, but Benjamin being as quick as a cat, managed to come out on top, a hurricanrana followed by the splash in the corner, and just when it seemed as though the Paydirt was coming, MVP turned it into a sidewalk slam and regained momentum. MVP worked over the head of Benjamin, several kicks to the face of the ECW superstar before finally going for the Drive-By Kick just for Benjamin to come back at him with a huge superkick! Both men were down when John Morrison ran down to ringside, distracting the official whilst The Miz slid in the ring and clocked Benjamin with the WWE Tag Team Championship belt! The crowd heavily as MVP stole the win!
The crowd booed as MVP rolled out of the ring slowly, clutching his WWE United States Championship and celebrating, whilst John Morrison and The Miz had once again gotten the heads up against Shelton Benjamin and Elijah Burke, screwing each of them individually this week in matches!
We went to the backstage area where Kane was shown with Josh Mathews as he wanted to get some words from the "Big Red Monster" after the hellacious Elimination Chamber match last Sunday. Kane talked about how the better man won, because he knew his brother would get the job done, and he knows that he will get the job done regardless of tonight's World Heavyweight Championship match at WrestleMania XXIV. And if La Familia got involved like they do every single week on SmackDown, Kane will have something to say about it, he'd punish them individually. Just like he will do to Chavo Guerrero tonight!
| COMMERCIAL BREAK |
5) Kane def. Chavo Guerrero @ 4:54 This match was expected to be short, but Chavo Guerrero who was supposed to be in the triple threat World Heavyweight Championship match tonight was feisty and managed to put up a fight against the "Big Red Monster", although it was only through eye pokes, as Kane repeatedly tried to hoist Guerrero up in the air with a Chokeslam or a gorilla press slam, Guerrero would somehow manage to weasel his way out of it whether it be an eye poke or an armdrag takedown. Kane soon managed to get the better of Guerrero though, as Guerrero tried to launch himself off of the second rope with a diving crossbody, Kane catching him and nailing him with a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker! Kane went for the Chokeslam, but Chavo rolled out of the ring and went to leave, Guerrero taunting Kane from the aisleway until CM Punk came from behind, wanting revenge for last Tuesday night on ECW! The "Straight Edge Superstar" rolled Guerrero back into the ring where Kane was waiting, and Kane planted Chavito Heat with the Chokeslam for the win!
Kane celebrated his win as the pyrotechnics went off, the "Big Red Monster" with an impressive victory against Chavo Guerrero! CM Punk looked smug as he made his way for the backstage area, the "Straight Edge Superstar" succeeding in some fine retribution!
We cut to the backstage area where Vickie Guerrero was shown looking on in disapproval as his nephew had failed to defeat the "Big Red Monster" Kane, almost sighing in pity for the "Latino Warrior" Chavo Guerrero. We then heard a knock on the door, as none other than John Bradshaw Layfield from RAW entered, the ECW Champion thanking Vickie for having him on SmackDown and then discussing how gracious he was. Vickie told Layfield that she appreciated him coming, and what he has done for the trash-hole known as ECW. Layfield smirked, talking about how he's changed it for the better, then telling Vickie of an idea; that maybe he could be the ECW Champion in La Familia! The crowd booed at this, Vickie telling him that she'd be happy to have him aboard before Edge walked in, a smile on his face as the World Heavyweight Champion congratulated the ECW Champion once again and making ECW a finer place. Edge then told Vickie that he was heading out for his World Heavyweight Championship defense now, Vickie wheeling over to Edge, and it seemed like the main event was next!
| COMMERCIAL BREAK |
Eve Torres was shown in the backstage area, as the newly turned SmackDown interviewer introduced CM Punk, the "Straight Edge Superstar" CM Punk, as she wanted to hear from Punk after losing his ECW Championship rematch. Punk told her that maybe he lost their rematch, but it was under unjust and imperfect reasons. Punk talked about how he would get his hands on John Bradshaw Layfield, whether it killed him or not, and he would be the ECW Champion once again. Punk then told Eve about Chavo Guerrero, and how tonight wasn't his only punishment for getting involved last Tuesday night, and costing him the win, because this Tuesday night on Sci-Fi, he'd be challenging Chavo one-on-one!
6) Edge (w/Vickie Guerrero def. Batista, Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins to retain the World Heavyweight Championship @ 7:33 This wasn't quite the main event we had in mind, as the "Rated R Superstar" came out with Zack Ryder, Curt Hawkins and Vickie Guerrero of La Familia, and Batista was out there awaiting Edge's arrival for what we believed was now a World Heavyweight Championship singles match, but the SmackDown General Manager had a microphone, and she announced Hawkins and Ryder's addition to the match. This made it a fatal four-way match, but you wouldn't have thought that, as La Familia all attempted to gang up on the "Animal", Batista taking down Hawkins and Ryder with numerous clotheslines, Edge standing by in a corner awaiting Batista to go after him. Batista was hell bent after beating Edge by disqualification at No Way Out, and so he rushed through Hawkins and Ryder until delivering a legalized low blow to Batista! Hawkins and Ryder then double-teamed Batista as it seemed as though La Familia had now had the "Animal" tamed, a double Edgecution connecting from the Edgeheads to Batista! Edge covered, but Batista kept kicking out, then wiping Hawkins and Ryder out of the ring, John Bradshaw Layfield appearing! JBL climbed into the ring and delivered the Clothesline From Hell to Batista, as Edge covered for the three!
The crowd booed, as Edge celebrated his win as though he had just won the Superbowl! The "Rated R Superstar" celebrated his win, the Edgeheads helping him up as John Bradshaw Layfield handed him his World Heavyweight Championship, the ECW and World Heavyweight Champion hugging it out! La Familia had dominated, but suddenly a gong was heard and the lights went out! The Undertaker's symbol appeared on the HD Tron, as the "Phenom"s voice was heard stating "Sixteen and oh...March 30th...Brace yourselves" before maniacal laughing was heard. La Familia were left in darkness, and when the lights returned, Vickie Guerrero was gone from her wheelchair! The Undertaker's laughter was heard as Edge looked irate, his fiancé kidnapped due to the "Deadman"s mindgames! SmackDown went off the air. [/font][/center]

Rey fired from Smackdown, Vickie Guerrero is starting to abuse her power as General Manager of Smackdown and I hope, I really hope Vince McMahon the Chairman of this company comes back and he fires Vickie Guerrero as GM of Smackdown since she is really abusing her power firing one of her biggest superstars in Rey Mysterio and then La Familia attacking Rey like a pack of dogs until Batista comes to the rescue and takes out all of La Familia and then Vickie making the match of Batista taking on Edge, and Chavo for the World Heavyweight Championship with it being a Triple-Threat it looks like
Batista helps Rey up
If Rey Mysterio is fired, I hope RAW gets Rey Mysterio then and William Regal can sign Rey Mysterio and Rey can be a part of the RAW roster since he is apparently gone from Smackdown
Nature Boy Ric Flair is in the building, this could be his last Smackdown appearance
John Morrison & The Miz beating Palumbo and Noble w/McCool and then after Chuck turns heel on Jamie Noble by attacking him and then pie-facing McCool down on to the canvas and leaving obviously not happy
I love the Undertaker vignette of his WrestleMania victims and how he has beaten those 15 icons, and how at Mania 24 he would beat whoever was placed in front of him, whether it's Edge, or if it is Batista or if it is Chavo, it doesn't matter
Jimmy Wang Yang beating Drew McIntyre only to get assaulted after the match by Drew McIntyre, DH Smith and Dave Taylor and then afterwards making a statement by saying how The United Kingdom what happened to them at No Way Out was nothing more than a mere fluke and how they are setting their sights on the WWE Tag Team Championship, if I were Miz and Morrison, I would take notice of what these men just did to Jimmy Wang Yang and that they are gunning for you
Some dissention backstage between La Familia, especially with Edge and Chavo because what if Chavo gets the pin and becomes World Champion, then he would get stripped of the title and fired, but there is no way Vickie would fire her nephew but knowing Edge he would convince her to do it
Finlay qualifying for Money In The Bank by beating Mark Henry all be it by DQ to qualify and then Mark Henry was going to attack Finlay but Hornswoggle tries stopping it and Mark just when he was about to do something to Hornswoggle, Finlay revives and he puts a stop to it by attacking Henry and him & Hornswoggle leave together, it was great
Ric Flair's segment on Smackdown, I loved it and then Big Show shows up interrupting Flair talking about why he left the WWE back in 2006 because he wasn't being taken seriously but now that he's back now, he can't wait to end Flair's career and Show says he can be WWE Champion right now if he wanted to be and that he has been working on his submission moves while he was gone but now that he is back, he is going to see Flair on RAW and he is going to make Flair tap to his own move the Figure-Four Leg Lock, the World's Largest Figure-Four Leg Lock which leaves Flair scared, this is awesome
The first inductee into the 2008 WWE Hall of Fame class, I hope it is Ric Flair being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, if not him then definitely Macho Man Randy Savage
MVP beating Shelton Benjamin because of The Miz & John Morrison getting involved in this match distracting the referee long enough for MVP to get the victory was great
Kane beating Chavo was great because Punk costs Chavo his match against Kane by getting involved
It seems JBL is now back on Smackdown but that this time he is the ECW Champion, and is interacting with La Familia, what is JBL's deal with La Familia anyways, if anything JBL he doesn't even need La Familia
Now a great idea for JBL would be for him to start a New Cabinet stable with him as ECW Champion but JBL getting drafted over to Smackdown losing his ECW Championship, and going for the World Heavyweight Championship and then winning that title to become the longest-reigning World Heavyweight Champion in Smackdown history
Hey if he can win the ECW Title and the WWE Title in his career, JBL can win the World Heavyweight Championship
Edge retaining his World Title in a Fatal 4-Way facing Batista, Hawkins, and Ryder, but then Batista getting assaulted and then La Familia hugging it out and then the lights go out, Undertaker's mind games now beginning as Vickie is taken out of her wheelchair and she's gone as Undertaker's music plays and he laughs in the background, lights come back on, no sign of Vickie Guerrero at all, Undertaker kidnaps Vickie

Triple reply a'comin'! You owe me, mother fudger.
Monday Night Raw; a huge opening segment and a huge Main Event made, but I think it's obvious that we will see Randy Orton retain the WWE Championship here. Obvious victory for Lance Cade here, definitely a shoe-in for the Money in the Bank winner, I'd love to see that. Bobby Lashley getting another title shot tonight? Yes! I suppose Candice with the victory is alright, but god don't let her win the title. Loved the segment with Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair and the returning Big Show. Good to see him back, and as the attacker of Flair. Damn Kennedy, winning again! Bobby Lashley needs some success! Pleased to see Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes retain the World Tag team Championships, but what's up with Santino? Fun segment with Maria and her Playboy thing. A predictable ending with the no contest to close the show. Four men? Interesting to say the least...
Tuesday Night ECW; looking forward to seeing CM Punk take on JBL in hopes of getting his ECW Championship back, but I hope he doesn't succeed, he can be much bigger than that. John Morrison is an obvious choice for a Money in the Bank participant, he's always brilliant in those matches. Another screwy match for poor little Colin Delaney against The Great Khali, but I hope he gets a contract soon, bless him. A good victory for the faces here, and Kofi Kingston once again being the one for the victory is great, I love how you're pushing him, slowly but surely. Pleased to see JBL retain the ECW Championship here, looking like a week of Championship matches here in the WWE. Chavo Guerrero's interference is interesting.
Friday Night SmackDown; I liked the opening segment with Rey Mysterio coming out, wheelchair bound. Edge defending the World Heavyweight Championship against Batista... and Chavo Guerrero?! A good victory for the WWE Tag Team Champions, and finally Palumbo leaves Jamie Noble, I was always interested in this feud and thought it should have gone further. Jimmy Wang Yang over Drew McIntyre? WHUT DUH HEYAL?! Good to see The United Kingdom take control after though. Is a DQ victory still official for the MITB Qualifier? I hope so, Finlay is a good superstars to have in there. A good segment from Ric Flair, and I think we'll obviously see a DQ victory for him on Raw as to not hurt the Big Show, but not lose Flair's career either. A good victory for Kane over Chavo Guerrero, shame he got removed from the World Title match though. An obvious victory for Edge here, especially with Hawkins and Ryder in the mix, and I loved Undertaker's mind games afterwards. They will have a good WrestleMania encounter for sure.

WWE.com: Industry News Written by John C. on 02/23/08
The Undertaker has a new deadly submission hold! The submission that fans may have noticed this past Sunday at No Way Out in the SmackDown Elimination Chamber match used by the Undertaker to eliminate Mark Henry was known as the gogoplata. The "Deadman" has been using it quite often as of late, and with every single submission it has managed to cause his opponents to bleed from the mouth. A legalized variation of the choke hold, the "Phenom" has called it the "Hell's Gate", and no man has yet managed to break from it!
Rey Mysterio will be back... Despite how Rey Mysterio was fired this past Friday night on SmackDown, he has vowed that he will return to the WWE once his injury heals up, and once his knees are back to 100% individually, Rey will be back and looking for that World Heavyweight Championship. Mysterio is supposedly scheduled to be cleared for action as of June.
Bumps and Bruises No Way Out last Sunday night was a very sacrificial night for all WWE superstars, especially those involved with the two Elimination Chamber matches that took place on the night. Everyone working at their full potential, they all wanted their moment going into WrestleMania XXIV, and many superstars wound up feeling the effects of that night. CM Punk had to have thirty stitches after being cut open, and Finlay also needed some stitches as well, the "Fighting Irishman" additionally suffering from minor arm injuries. There was also some great concern on how John Cena's conditioning would be, particularly after Cena went into the match with his pectoral muscles still not at 100%, but he managed to leave the match perfectly fine, although only a few cuts and scrapes kept him back. Triple H genuinely suffered a concussion in the match, whilst Umaga and Jeff Hardy both requested the RAW off that next night due to not being in shape to compete after the dangerous stunts they pulled at No Way Out. Shawn Michaels' knee is also in a bad way once again, and so he will be working limited dates from now until WrestleMania XXIV.
WWE Monday Night RAW Preview ~ Monday 25th February 2008 After last week's chaotic happenings we are expecting for a rocky RAW on the dangerous and treacherous path to WrestleMania XXIV! With just under six weeks until the grandest stage of them all, we're expected to see Bobby Lashley take on the WWE Champion Randy Orton in singles action! But also, we are scheduled to hear from Triple H after his match with Orton for the WWE Championship last Monday night was ruined by interference, and his thoughts of Chris Jericho after Y2J "unintentionally" laid him out with a steel chair last Monday. In addition, we'll see Jeff Hardy and Umaga collide one more time in a Money in the Bank qualifying match, and Ric Flair will potentially have his career ended if he loses to the Big Show! In addition, the first inductee into the Hall of Fame Class of 2008 will be announced. All this plus a lot more, this Monday night for RAW on the USA Network, 9/8 CT!
ECW on Sci-Fi Preview ~ Tuesday 26th February 2008 ECW on Sci-Fi has currently got several huge matches lined up for the show, as it has been announced that the "Animal" Batista will go one-on-one with the ECW Champion, John Bradshaw Layfield in non-title action, a form of payback for the "Animal" after Batista was screwed even more out of his World Heavyweight Championship rematch this past Sunday night at No Way Out. Also, a returning legend was hyped for the show, but we are yet to see who this legend is, and why he's back on ECW! In other action, CM Punk will be looking for revenge as he takes on Chavo Guerrero; Kofi Kingston will meet his biggest challenge to date as he goes one-on-one with Big Daddy V; And lastly John Morrison and The Miz set up for another Fifteen Minutes of Fame match with Shelton Benjamin and Elijah Burke! It's all this Tuesday night on ECW on the Sci-Fi Network, 10/9 CT!
WWE Friday Night SmackDown Preview ~ Friday 29th February 2008 [/color] The leap year continues as SmackDown rolls up this Friday in Tucson, Arizona, and an epic night is already lined up, as La Familia have been rocked to its core by the Undertaker in one simple move last Friday night, as he kidnapped the SmackDown General Manager. But Edge has alternatively taken power of the show this Friday, and has organized the Undertaker to go one-on-one with his own flesh and blood, the Undertaker! Plus, Montel Vontavious Porter encounters CM Punk in a Money in the Bank Qualifying match, and Finlay will team with Hornswoggle to take on Mark Henry and Matt Striker in tag action! All of this, plus the second inductee into the Hall of Fame Class of 2008 will be announced, this Friday night on the CW Network, 8/7 CT![/center] Statistics RAW pulls a 4.1 rating this past weekECW pulls a 1.2 rating this past weekSmackDown! pulls a 2.7 rating this past week[/font][/right] [/font][/td][/tr] [tr][td] 1[/td][td] Randy Orton[/td][/tr] [tr][td] 2[/td][td] The Undertaker[/td][/tr] [tr][td] 3[/td][td] Chris Jericho[/td][/tr] [tr][td] 4[/td][td] Edge[/td][/tr] [tr][td] 5[/td][td] John Bradshaw Layfield[/td][/tr] [tr][td] 6[/td][td] Triple H[/td][/tr] [tr][td] 7[/td][td] Batista[/td][/tr] [tr][td] 8[/td][td] John Cena[/td][/tr] [tr][td] 9[/td][td] Mr Kennedy[/td][/tr] [tr][td] 10[/td][td] Shawn Michaels[/td][/tr] [tr][td] 11[/td][td] CM Punk[/td][/tr] [tr][td] 12[/td][td] Kane[/td][/tr] [tr][td] 13[/td][td] The Big Show[/td][/tr] [tr][td] 14[/td][td] Montel Vontavious Porter[/td][/tr] [tr][td] 15[/td][td] Bobby Lashley[/td][/tr] [tr][td] 16[/td][td] Finlay[/td][/tr] [tr][td] 17[/td][td] Big Daddy V and Mark Henry[/td][/tr] [tr][td] 18[/td][td] John Morrison and The Miz[/td][/tr] [tr][td] 19[/td][td] The Great Khali[/td][/tr] [tr][td] 20[/td][td] Kofi Kingston[/td][/tr] [tr][td] 21[/td][td] Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes[/td][/tr] [tr][td] 22[/td][td] Candice Michelle[/td][/tr] [tr][td] 23[/td][td] The United Kingdom[/td][/tr] [tr][td] 24[/td][td] Shelton Benjamin and Elijah Burke[/td][/tr] [tr][td] 25[/td][td] Lance Cade[/td][/tr][/table][/right][/size]

Nice opening with Rey Mysterio coming out, I don't think a wheelchair was necessary and crutches would suffice for one knee injury but thats just me being a ridiculous nitpick with a medical background, anyhoo the firing of Mysterio is an interesting angle. Batista making the save was good and sets up a nice main event. Nice win for Miz & Morrison. Haha nice interaction with Edge & Chavo glad to see Chavo wanting to pick up the victory as it should be something important to him. I'm OK with Yang going over McIntyre, I'm all for an upset every now and then, the problem I do have with it though is Wang Yang had no real exposure prior to this and British Empire did need momentum but they gained it back post match anyway. Glad to see Finlay qualifying for MITB over Mark Henry, sounded like a nice brawl and Henry assaulting Finlay was a nice touch. Ric Flair & Big Show segment was really well written, looking forward to their match on Raw. Good win for MVP and glad to see you continue the MnM/BnB feud. Kane over Chavo is fine, nice to see Punk getting his revenge. An alliance between JBL and La Familia could be interesting. Good main event, JBL interference is cool and I'm liking the Edge/JBL relationship going on. Undertaker poat match stuff was a nice touch. Hopefully the stuff with Batista is close enough to over with that we get into full blown Mania build.
Overall a solid show, not a whole lot happened on it though. We did get another MITB and some build to the more minor feuds, as well as a potential JBL/Batista feud though. Hopefully we get fully into the Mania build next week. A good show though, keep it up.

WWE Monday Night RAW - Monday 25th February 2008 - Phoenix, AZ [/color] NOW IN HD!Dark Match: Justin Credible def. Super Crazy @ 4:28 after That's Incredible!We kick off Monday Night RAW tonight with William Regal sat in the backstage area in front of a curtain, as the RAW General Manager welcomed us all to Monday Night RAW. Regal talked about how last Monday night there was a WWE Championship match which ended in a lot of controversy. This is why tonight we are going to have two no-interference matches, one being Triple H taking on Chris Jericho, and the other being Randy Orton taking on Bobby Lashley in non-title action. If any of these four men do anything to interfere in each other's match, they will be suspended, and that is not a pretty thing with just over four weeks until WrestleMania XXIV! Regal told us to enjoy tonight, ending it by noting that Chris Jericho vs Randy Orton will go on at WrestleMania for the WWE Championship, and nobody will be added! The opening video package for Monday Night RAW aired, as we cut to the live US Airways Center in Phoenix, Arizona for RAW, with over four weeks remaining until the grandest stage of them all, WrestleMania XXIV! Pyrotechnics went off whilst Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler introduces us to the show and proceeded to run down the card, in addition to Bobby Lashley taking on Randy Orton & Chris Jericho taking on Triple H we will also see Candice Michelle challenge for the WWE Womens Championship; Ric Flair put his career on the line against the Big Show in a Submission match, but we're starting off with a Money in the Bank Qualifying match! 1) Jeff Hardy def. Umaga to qualify for the Money in the Bank match @ 7:32These two have had many encounters over the last year, and have had many hits and misses, but this one was to secure the third spot in the Money in the Bank ladder match scheduled to take place at WrestleMania XXIV. The "Samoan Bulldozer" and the "Charismatic Enigma" have been hurting all wee, especially after their performances at No Way Out eight days ago in the Elimination Chamber; this caused both men to miss RAW last week, but they were back to kick things off on RAW here tonight. Umaga worked over the ribs of Hardy, managing to splash him twice and then nail him with a big shoulder thrust in the corner. Jeff soon fired back though, a jawbreaker taking the "Samoan Bulldozer" off of his game, but a Twist of Fate didn't even put Umaga away! Umaga soon regained momentum and gave Jeff a snap powerslam, going up top for the Wild Samoan Splash, but Jeff was playing possum, getting up as well and nailing the top rope hurricanrana, hooking the legs for the win! The crowd jumped to their feet in applause as Jeff Hardy's arm was raised in victory, the "Charismatic Enigma" clutching his ribs whilst Umaga remained down on the canvas, but Hardy would be going to WrestleMania XXIV for the Money in the Bank opportunity of a lifetime! We cut to the parking lot as John Cena was pulling up at the US Airways Center, Cena with a smile on his face, and Cena seemed to be heading for the arena here in Phoenix! | COMMERCIAL BREAK |We cut to the backstage area where Mike Adamle was standing by with the man that challenged for the WWE Championship against Randy Orton in the chaotic main event to last week's RAW, Triple H. He asked Triple H about his opinion on William Regal's disciplinary actions and Chris Jericho as Hunter talked about how he didn't appreciate Y2J, not as a performer, not as a colleague, not even as a human being. Ever since he came through that door in 1999 he's been an arrogant son of a bitch. And he wants to knock him out with a steel chair last week in case he actually won the WWE Championship to have the power to face Y2J at WrestleMania? He's a coward for that. Tonight, he'll have his way with Jericho much like at WrestleMania X8 in Toronto. As for Regal, he can screw himself; the General Manager is not stopping the "Game" from reaching WrestleMania to challenge or defend that WWE Championship! 2) Charlie Haas def. Lance Cade @ 5:27This was surprising, as we haven't see the "Textbook Technician" at work in several weeks, seemingly after his in-ring debut as this persona. The so-called "Hero of the Hammerlock" outwrestled Lance Cade in the opening moments of this match, but Cade soon got back on top, this ground-based offence resulting in Cade using it to his advantage, as Cade dropped several elbows onto the back of the "Wristlock Warrior", then working away at the arm in an ironic twist, that Cade was working away at the self-proclaimed "Master of Technical Wrasslin'" with several knees to the hammerlocked arm of Haas. But Charlie soon managed to fire back, a drop toe hold turned right into an STF! Cade somehow managed to reach the ropes though, and as Haas ran at Cade, Cade turned it into the sit-out spinebuster, but Haas switched it into a victory roll, securing the three! The crowd cheered as Charlie Haas quickly slid out of the ring, the "Hero of the Hammerlock" having his arm raised in victory, and Lance Cade was visibly angry at the result! Cade argued with the official before leaving, but tonight was Haas' night to shine. We returned to the backstage area as John Cena was shown making his way through the corridors, and Cena seemed to be heading to the ring as we cut to a commercial! | COMMERCIAL BREAK |A WrestleMania Moment aired, reviewing the original WrestleMania event, live across North America on March 31, 1985 from Madison Square Garden. Main evented by Hulk Hogan teaming with Mr T to take on "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and "Mr Wonderful" Paul Orndorff, the show was a do-or-die proceeding for then the World Wrestling Federation, as if it wasn't such the hit it ended up being, sports entertainment as we know it may not have been the same as it is today. Additionally the show saw appearances from Cyndi Lauper during the Rock 'n' Wrestling Era period of the company. A true landmark for the organization in terms of expansion to the entire world. As we returned to Monday Night RAW we heard the theme of John Cena play to a huge reaction from the Phoenix crowd, as Cena then made his way out to the ring, Cena rushing down to the ring and posing to the US Airways Center, John then picking up a microphone and shouting out "The champ is here!" the fans then cheered, as Cena continued stating that that is what he'd be saying if it wasn't for Randy Orton and possibly Triple H eight days ago at No Way Out. The crowd booed, as Cena talked about how he came back from injury, and he just didn't seem to regain the thing he wanted most, he got his hands on Randy Orton, but it wasn't good enough; but he still wants that WWE Championship belt! Cena talked about how much it meant to him, and when he was forced to leave the championship vacant last Fall, it broke his heart. So he came back, and he's here standing to everyone today healthier than ever, and he's not even booked to compete! Cena wondered what was going on, and why William Regal was objecting to allowing Cena to place his hands on Orton, and like Triple H last week, getting another opportunity at that WWE Championship! Cena calls it unfair and biased, but that's when the theme of Randy Orton hit to a loud chorus of boos, the "One Man Dynasty" making his way out to the ring as the WWE Champion seemed to purposely be flaunting his WWE Championship gold in the face of Cena, the former champ. Orton took a microphone as he mentioned how Cena must be wondering how crazy he was that he'd be out here tonight, but the fact is that Cena is forcefeeding this audience loud lies. Cena claims that he's the healthiest he has ever been, but he isn't. He hasn't got what it takes anymore, and deep down that demotivates Cena, which is why he can't get the job done, he can't do it again, to beat Orton for that WWE Championship. Orton bellows that Cena is a hasbeen, then telling John to leave his ring and let a real wrestler get the job done, just like he does every single night! This set Cena off, and John swung for Orton, nailing him with the FU! Orton rolled out of the ring, when suddenly William Regal rushed down to the ring with a handful of security, but Cena was going down swinging, clotheslines and punches to several of the security members! But they finally forced Cena down to the canvas and out of the ring, handcuffing Cena to loud boos from the Phoenix crowd! Regal slapped Cena and called him an "ignorant pest" before security led him up the ramp and Regal took the microphone. The crowd booed as the RAW General Manager apologised for Cena's actions, as they were not wise and that as of right now, John Cena was suspended! The crowd booed, as Regal then talked about how nobody disrespected the RAW GM's opinions, and those that did would pay dearly, and that he wasn't kidding when he said that! Regal then introduced the WWE Champion, Randy Orton officially before leaving, as we had Orton set to take on Bobby Lashley, next! | COMMERCIAL BREAK |3) Bobby Lashley def. Randy Orton in a non-title match @ 8:15Bobby Lashley was on a bit of a momentum loss as of late, having fallen to defeat at the hands of the WWE Intercontinental Champion, Mr Kennedy on two occasions, both at No Way Out and again the following night on RAW last week. But Lashley was aiming for higher, as he took on the WWE Champion, the "Viper" finding it hard to use his sneaky antics against this powerhouse of a superstar, the "Dominator" Lashley somehow throwing the 245 pound "Viper" around the ring with chokeholds as if he were a ragged doll, but Orton soon fired back with a European uppercut, Orton following up with a neckbreaker. The "One Man Dynasty" pounded away at the head of Lashley, as he seemed to be trying to tire the former ECW World Champion out with a sleeper hold. But Lashley soon managed to fire back, setting up the Dominator but Orton slipped out and slid out of the ring, grabbing his WWE Championship and preparing to leave, but as he left Chris Jericho came from behind, rushing Orton back into the ring, and as the "Viper" was left fuming, he turned around to get the Spear from Lashley, giving Lashley a shocking victory! Bobby Lashley celebrated his win to loud cheers, as the official raised Lashley's hand in victory, Randy Orton meanwhile was down, and Chris Jericho had gotten the better of his WrestleMania XXIV adversary! Meanwhile, in the backstage area, we saw the Big Show punching a punching bag, and the "World's Largest Athlete" seemed quite prepared for this Career Threatening submission match in a few moments against Ric Flair; but first following the commercial break, we'd find out who our first Hall of Fame inductees were, in the Class of 2008! | COMMERCIAL BREAK |The first Hall of Fame inductee appeared in a graphic as we returned to RAW, Jim Ross and Jerry "The King" Lawler talking about the Class of 2008 and past inductees consisting of Hulk Hogan, Roddy Piper, Jimmy Snuka, Eddie Guerrero, even J.R. and King themselves! They then revealed the first official inductees, the Brisco Brothers! Jack and Jerry were masters of the tag team division back in the days of the National Wrestling Alliance's superiority over the United States, as the duo competed in Championship Wrestling from Florida, winning three different types of Tag Team Championships a grand total of fifteen times. Jack and Jerry also amounted to other glory as well, as Jack was once the NWA World Heavyweight Champion, whilst Jerry dominated in the Junior Heavyweight scene. Both stars in Florida and in All Japan Pro Wrestling, the WWE welcomes the Brisco Brothers into the Class of 2008 Hall of Fame! An advertisement aired, promoting WWE WrestleMania XXIV, live on pay-per-view on Sunday, March 30th 2008 from Orlando, Florida; 34 days away! 4) Ric Flair def. The Big Show in a Submission match @ 7:18It was do or die time for the "Nature Boy", as if he lost this match, he would perhaps have his legacy tarnished in his backyard match, the submission match, and have to retire in the process. The "World's Largest Athlete" easily dominated Flair, tossing him around and hammering him with chops in the corner, another patented Flair move, but Ric gained a second wind with the poke to the eye, then nailing Show with the DDT, but as Flair tried to quickly go after the leg, he realized how he may be too small to apply the Figure-Four Leglock on Show! Show forced Flair off, as the match led to ringside, Show once again in control as he harshly tossed Flair into the barricade with all of his might! | COMMERCIAL BREAK | The "Showstopper" continued by grabbing a steel chair and slamming it over the skull of Ric, Flair forming his infamous crimson mask spouting from the top of the head, Show then leading him back into the ring where he had Flair in a type of cobra/camel clutch, Flair refusing to give up and with nowhere to run! Show then changed his mind as he picked up the steel chair, this giant making an impact in the no disqualification enforced submission match, wrapping the chair around the leg of Flair and stepping on it, injuring the ankle of the "Nature Boy"! Show then prepared to apply the World's Largest Figure-Four Leglock, but Shawn Michaels ran down to the ring, bouncing the steel chair off of Show's skull twice! This brought Show to his knees, and HBK nailed him with the Sweet Chin Music before leaving the ring! A groggy and bloody Flair slowly stood on his feet and applied the Figure-Four Leglock, somehow managing to lock it in properly, and Show tapped! The fans in Phoenix applauded the "Nature Boy" as he was a bloody mess after being brutalized by the Big Show for the vast majority of that submission match, but Flair was still standing, the official helping him up and raising his hand in victory. Big Show limped around the ringside area, not happy one bit about being defeated, but meanwhile Shawn Michaels joined Flair in the ring and the two hugged it out, Flair then shaking the "Heartbreak Kid"s hand before HBK suddenly kicked Flair's head off with some Sweet Chin Music! The crowd's cheers turned to boos as Michaels stood over Flair, almost expressionless, as HBK slowly left, ignoring the official and every fan in the US Airways Center! | COMMERCIAL BREAK |We returned to RAW as Todd Grisham was shown standing in the Gorilla position during the commercial break, looking to catch a word with Shawn Michaels, and as the "Heartbreak Kid" appeared, he refused to answer Grisham's questions as to why he laid out his best friend and one-time mentor Ric Flair moments ago. Michaels continued to walk, eventually reaching his car and driving right out of Phoenix! We returned to Monday Night RAW as Todd Grisham was shown standing with Santino Marella, Marella seemingly still upset over the loss of his girlfriend Maria to Playboy, and to Ashley last Monday night on RAW. Grisham showed us a replay of Maria revealing her cover for Playboy's Spring Magazine, as Santino begged for her back, just for Ashley to persuade her to leave him, and it was followed with Santino taking the canvas portrait to the head from Jerry Lawler. Marella asked Todd what sort of King Jerry Lawler was, that he was a "purvoyd", as the French Yankees say for "pervert" and he had no place in getting involved last week, and neither did Maria or Ashley. Marella then paused as Maria appeared with Candice Michelle, as Santino awkwardly said "hi". Maria simply shook her head and followed Candice, as Candice was all set to go for her WWE Womens Championship match! We returned to the US Airways Center where the theme of Mr Kennedy hit, and out came the arrogant WWE Intercontinental Champion, Kennedy quickly making his way down to the ring as he rose for the heavens and pulled a lowered microphone, the spotlight on him. Kennedy talked about how many remember him as being the guy that beat Jeff Hardy, the guy that beat Bobby Lashley TWICE in the space of twenty-four hours, the guy that beat Shawn Michaels, the man that has defeated a record of six former World Champions within the past three years, and most of all, the man that is standing before us as the most prestigious and the greatest man to ever hold the WWE Intercontinental Championship, Mr Kennedy! The crowd booed as Kennedy listed several names that held the title; the Ultimate Warrior, Tito Santana, Rick Rude, Razor Ramon. The list goes on and on, but Kennedy convinced us that he was better than all of them! Kennedy was soon cut off by the theme of Hardcore Holly, and we were scheduled for non-title action as we return! | COMMERCIAL BREAK |5) Mr Kennedy def. Hardcore Holly (w/Cody Rhodes) in a non-title match @ 3:32This match was interesting, as Mr Kennedy's first pay-per-view match was against Hardcore Holly back at No Mercy 2005, but times had changed since then, as Mr Kennedy was now the WWE Intercontinental Champion and no longer a rookie enemy of the veteran, Hardcore Holly. And Hardcore Holly in his own right was now one half of the World Tag Team Champions. Mr Kennedy was the victim of some gripping chops in the corner, but Kennedy some fired back, trying to whip Holly into the ropes, but Hardcore switched it around and nailed him with the picture perfect dropkick. Holly prepared for the Alabama Slam early on, but Kennedy managed to escape it and regain control. Kennedy continued to work over Holly until Hardcore fired back again, going for a suplex, but Kennedy landed on his feet and nailed the Mic Check out of nowhere to get the victory! The crowd booed as Mr Kennedy celebrated his win, the official handing him his WWE Intercontinental Champion, and the most arrogant man on the RAW brand had once again managed to pick up a victory, as Cody Rhodes attended to Hardcore Holly in the ring. Kennedy celebrated himself the greatest man to ever hold the title before leaving. We cut to the backstage area again, as Chris Jericho was shown standing by with Mike Adamle, Adamle going to ask the Royal Rumble winner a question just for Y2J to cut him off and call it a 'one man show, Junior!' to quite the applause. Jericho talked about how he was here and ready to go, because time was precious, but he wanted time to go as quick as possible for WrestleMania XXIV, to meet Randy Orton in the main event and win the WWE Championship in front of 70,000 Jerichoholics in the Citrus Bowl! He talked about how he got the better of his Mania opponent earlier tonight, and he damn sure made a point by getting in Triple H's way last week on RAW. The fact is, no matter what Hunter wants to claim, he's in this business for himself, and he doesn't understand why Triple H has such so biased against him, and why he hates him so much. The chair shot last week was an accident, but the exclamation mark he needed, because Triple H is once again stealing all of the fame! And as for John Cena, he can get involved all he wants, but he's looking for the wrong opportunity, as now is Y2J's time to shine, and nothing will stop him! He came back to save the WWE, and he's doing just that on the Road to WrestleMania! Go Jericho, Go! | COMMERCIAL BREAK |6) Beth Phoenix def. Candice Michelle (w/Maria) to retain the WWE Womens Championship @ 3:56This match was the awaited WWE Womens Championship rematch between the previously injured Candice Michelle and her arch nemesis, Beth Phoenix. The "Glamazon" broke Candice's collarbone back in October, and proceeded to take her Womens Championship, and since then the "Glamazon" has been merely unstoppable as the champ. Michelle was on the offense though, she'd trained hard to come back, months of rehabilitation and winning a number one contender's match against Melina and Mickie James last Monday night on RAW. Beth put up a fight, but Candice seemed to be better than ever, hurricanranas and tornado DDTs connecting before Michelle tried to put Phoenix away with the Candywrapper, but Phoenix cradled Candice! Maria then pushed Candice on top, the cradle on Phoenix, but that's when Santino Marella came through the crowd, pushing Phoenix back on top whilst the official was warning Melina, and Beth got the win! The crowd booed as Beth Phoenix was declared victorious, the "Glamazon" then rolling out of the ring as Santino Marella handed her the WWE Womens Championship, Maria talking to Candice Michelle, and Maria especially was fuming! Santino and Beth walked up to the top of the rampway where Phoenix planted a predominant kiss on the Italian! Santino was stunned, but he smiled staring at Maria, as Maria seemed outraged! Meanwhile, back in the backstage area, we saw Chris Jericho and Triple H both making their separate ways towards the arena, and our main event was coming up next! | COMMERCIAL BREAK |7) Chris Jericho def. Triple H by disqualification @ 9:20This was a rematch from WrestleMania X8, but times had changed drastically, the "Cerebral Assassin" furious with Chris Jericho, and Y2J had a reason to be angry at the "Game" in exchange. Triple H admitted earlier tonight that he hated Jericho and always had, but Y2J returned the offer last week, especially after accidentally laying Triple H out with a steel chair shot to the skull. Chris Jericho and Hunter exchanged more blows, Y2J starting to work over the leg of Triple H, that well documented quadriceps muscle, but the "Cerebral Assassin" returned the favor, a spinebuster causing Hunter to regain momentum, this capacity crowd split 50/50, Triple H working away at the shoulder of Chris Jericho. Hunter and Jericho both tried for their finishing maneuvers, the Pedigree reversed into a Northern lights suplex, and then a Codebreaker turned into a back body drop! Hunter and Y2J continued their exchanges, as Chris Jericho finally caught Triple H with a Codebreaker, covering, but that's when Randy Orton rushed down to the ring, an RKO for Y2J! The crowd booed as Randy Orton stood tall, the crowd booing and the "One Man Dynasty" then posed, picking Triple H up just for the "Cerebral Assassin" to fire back, whipping the "Viper" off of the ropes and striking him with the high knee! Hunter prepared a Pedigree, but Orton broke off, an RKO laying Triple H out as well! Randy Orton stood tall, as the WWE Champion had gotten payback from earlier on his WrestleMania opponent, and his old time rival, as RAW went off the air!

Unforgettable RAW, really unforgettable RAW
Jeff Hardy qualifying for Money In The Bank by beating Umaga, this is going to make this match-up all the more exciting and high-flying especially now that he is going to be in it, I see Jeff Hardy somehow winning the briefcase especially if he is going to be in it, he has to be the odds on favorite
Adamle backstage interview with HHH, it explains why he has so much animosity towards Jericho and how he isn't going to let this stop from defending the WWE Championship or even being in the WWE Championship match at Mania and I hope he gets added in
Charlie Haas vs Lance Cade with the Haas getting the win was awesome, but Cade is still in Money In The Bank, so this doesn't really hurt him?
John Cena/Randy Orton/Regal segment with the security I love it, and Cena then attacking Orton and the security until my man gets out of there while Cena gets handcuffed out of the arena and suspended, will Cena be out of WrestleMania 24 or will he be making his return at Mania 24
Lashley beating my man Orton, that puts Lashley right in the WWE Title picture but you know Lashley if I were you, I would not go after Orton because he could put you right back on the shelf by punting you in the skull if he wanted to, but in all seriousness I am scared of Lashley coming after Orton
The Brisco Brothers as the first inductees in the 2008 WWE Hall of Fame class, this is going to be awesome
Ric Flair beating Big Show to keep his career in tact because of Michaels being involved was great and then after the match Shawn's heel turn, wow that is awesome, HBK just turned heel on Flair by kicking his head off with Sweet Chin Music and those cheers turning to boos, and Shawn expressionless just emotionless as he leaves the ring and leaves the arena as much as an explanation to anyone about what he just did
I hope we get an explanation about why Shawn did this?
The whole Santino/Maria/Ashley segment I didn't really care for
As for Mr. Kennedy I love how he is being built up as the Intercontinental Champion and then him beating Holly
Chris Jericho's backstage segment with Adamle interviewing him was great
Beth Phoenix beating Candice to retain the WWE Women's Championship was great
Chris Jericho vs Triple H ending in No Contest and then Orton laying out both of them was awesome, I hope it is Jericho vs HHH vs Orton (c) in a Triple Threat
