00:00:01Yes, sir, we promised you a great man here.

00:00:04The last hair.

00:00:04Andre!

00:00:06Muscle Mania!

00:00:07Muscle Mania is running wild!

00:00:09My God, what the hell?

00:00:10He missed the man!

00:00:11He missed the man!

00:00:14There's not a world that's watching!

00:00:30What's up, Holmes?

00:00:34Peace out!

00:00:39The champ is here.

00:00:45You saw the way I served Bobby Lashman.

00:00:48What a serving good.

00:00:50And now, there's a new ECW champion.

00:00:54Vincent Kennedy McMahon, the king of extreme.

00:01:03Unless ECW stands for extremely crazy white guy,

00:01:10all I'm seeing is a stooge and a do-rag.

00:01:18We talking about my brother's crime time.

00:01:20And then, this one.

00:01:24Well, well.

00:01:41John Cena, you call yourself the champ?

00:01:44Yep.

00:01:45There's an old saying, and it goes like this.

00:01:49Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

00:01:53And you, my friend, are most definitely lucky.

00:01:55You know I beat you last week.

00:01:57And last night, I had you beat yet again.

00:02:02I want one more shot at the WWE Championship, and I want it now.

00:02:08You know me.

00:02:09If I ever said no, you want to go one more round?

00:02:12Let's do it.

00:02:14Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

00:02:16Neither one of you have the say around here.

00:02:18The new ECW champion has to say.

00:02:23Everybody's talking about this match last week.

00:02:25I grant ya.

00:02:25So I do say this.

00:02:27Yes, let's have it one more time tonight.

00:02:30However, you're gonna earn your spot.

00:02:33If you're victorious tonight, then next week, you can go for the WWE Championship.

00:02:39And if you're fortunate enough to win, then maybe after that,

00:02:44maybe you can come for the big one.

00:02:47Peace out, my brothers.

00:02:52He's lost it.

00:02:56See you tonight.

00:03:18I want domination.

00:03:21I want your submission.

00:03:23I gotta roll the dice.

00:03:25Never knock back and never think twice.

00:03:28Whoa, I'll never give in.

00:03:31Whoa, I'll never give up.

00:03:33Whoa, I'll never give in.

00:03:35I just wanna be, wanna be loved.

00:03:51just wanna be, wanna be loved.

00:03:58Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to Monday Night Raw, and what a Monday Night Raw's gonna be.

00:04:04You just heard, Shawn Michaels, John Cena, Michael Cena, three tonight.

00:04:10Jim Ross and Jerry the King Lawler here at ringside.

00:04:14The King were kicking it off for the match at McCall Cena.

00:04:18And Michael spent so long, this match could not happen.

00:04:22All I got to say about it is peace out, my brother.

00:04:26I see clearly, I see clearly, I see clearly, I see clearly.

00:04:30The problem in practice is scheduled for one fall.

00:04:32He's finished the first.

00:04:33From Toronto, Ontario, Canada, weighing 250 pounds, and we'll hold me high on this day.

00:04:44It's so real to me, yeah, the face comes to the light.

00:04:49The Rated-R Superstar, about to go one-on-one with a swimmer tag team partner, Randy Orton,

00:04:56on a night that we're going to have the opportunity to see Michaels Cena, three, right here in Nashville,

00:05:03Tennessee.

00:05:08I'll tell you what, King, last night of Backlash, this man could have easily left Backlash, the

00:05:14WWE champion.

00:05:16Well, that's true, but he didn't.

00:05:18Well, that's true, but he didn't.

00:05:19But tonight, he's got the, I think what he considers a little bit of a, I don't know if

00:05:23he's got the score to settle as much as Randy Orton.

00:05:28Randy Orton's the man who felt like he had put himself ahead of the team.

00:05:31Weighing 245 pounds, Randy Orton.

00:05:37Well, things like jealousy and ego and out of control of-

00:05:45You don't think these two guys have egos, do you, JR?

00:05:49That's what the story team rented RKO.

00:05:52And we're talking about Edge having a shot last night at becoming WWE Champion.

00:05:57So did Randy Orton.

00:05:59Randy Orton looked like he was gonna RKO his way into the WWE Championship last night at Backlash.

00:06:07The Lady Luck smiled on John Cena.

00:06:11Like Shawn Michaels said earlier, sometimes it is better to be.

00:06:16Randy Orton said, this is how big my ego is.

00:06:25Well, both these men, as we know, know each other extremely well as tag team partners,

00:06:31tag team champions, traveling together.

00:06:35So it's gonna be very interesting to see the strategy they employ here tonight.

00:06:40And that was a strategically well-placed slap.

00:06:44And Orton now retaliates with right hands.

00:06:47And referee Mike Kyoto is gonna have a challenging time maintaining control in this matchup.

00:06:52And look at Edge.

00:06:54Wait a minute.

00:06:56Edge didn't want any part of that right hand to Randy Orton.

00:06:59And Edge running like a scalded dog back in the ring.

00:07:03Looking to, Orton a thumb to the eye looked to me like.

00:07:07Orton denying his actions, but it looked like a thumb to the eye.

00:07:11And these guys aren't gonna admit to anything.

00:07:14You couldn't believe either one of them if their tongues were notarized.

00:07:16But I'll tell you this, this is gonna be one heck of a matchup.

00:07:20Orton the aggressor at this point in time in this one-fall matchup here on Monday Night Raw.

00:07:26Straight right hand by Randy Orton, another right hand.

00:07:30Orton snap mirroring the edge back out of the corner to the center of the ring.

00:07:34And now Randy Orton stomping some of the arrogance, perhaps, out of this former tag team party.

00:07:40Well, this is the match that we were supposed to see last week here on Raw.

00:07:44But of course, John Cena and Shawn Michaels had that classic epic battle that, oh, that's an entire hour.

00:07:53And the new drop by Randy Orton right to the sternum.

00:07:57I got him here, Paul.

00:07:58Cena and Michaels last week from London, England.

00:08:0260 minutes, 15 seconds officially.

00:08:04Straight right hand by Orton, that mount position.

00:08:07Can you believe, Gary?

00:08:08We're gonna get to see it again here tonight, live on Raw.

00:08:12Cena and Michaels, three.

00:08:16Orton pulling that hair back and another right hand right to the face of Edge.

00:08:21And Randy Orton, really the aggressor and showing a great aggression in this matchup.

00:08:27And it's interesting to hear the response from our fans here.

00:08:30One, two, three, one.

00:08:35It's interesting to hear the response from our fans because neither one of these superstars have endeared themselves to any

00:08:41fans anywhere.

00:08:43I think everybody would just like to see these two guys get the heck out of each other.

00:08:48Straight right hands, I'd love to see them both walk around in a mirror factor.

00:08:52They'd never leave.

00:08:54Straight right hands again, and Edge is on that second rope.

00:08:59One, two, three.

00:09:00Mike Coyote using a count.

00:09:02And Randy Boy.

00:09:06A little bit of reason to Randy Orton, he's not listening.

00:09:11Man, Edge's body contorted there.

00:09:14And Orton-

00:09:16Well, the referee all over Randy Orton, but I'm wondering, JR, do you think Randy Orton cares if he gets

00:09:20disqualified?

00:09:22That's a good question.

00:09:24I would think Orton would love to beat Edge right here on Monday Night Raw.

00:09:27And Orton and Edge crashing and burning into the security railing.

00:09:35Edge is down.

00:09:36That may be the deciding factor.

00:09:37We'll find out as this match we think will continue.

00:09:43We're back live here on Monday Night Raw.

00:09:46We're seeing the match we were scheduled to see last week.

00:09:48It's Randy Orton, the aggressor on his former tag team partner Edge.

00:09:52Last week, Shawn Michaels and John Cena wrestling 16 minutes and 15 seconds.

00:09:57And that's what took us from having this contest as Orton's shoulder just smacked into the steel ring post.

00:10:05Just joining us, we're gonna get to see Shawn Michaels and John Cena go at it again here tonight.

00:10:10Michael Cena three.

00:10:14Look out, I don't like the looks of this.

00:10:16We're in trouble here.

00:10:18We're in trouble here.

00:10:19This is not a lot.

00:10:31Come on.

00:10:34Come on.

00:10:35Come on.

00:10:40Come on.

00:11:03Trying to get some audio back here.

00:11:06Randy Orton crashing and burning.

00:11:08My God, I've never seen a body that just picked into our table bouncing off our table.

00:11:14And now Edge has a chance for the cover.

00:11:17Edge with a leg hook and somehow Randy Orton able to kick out.

00:11:22Edge cannot believe it and quite frankly, neither can I.

00:11:31Amazing collision almost at a loss for

00:11:34words as Randy Orton came right across the, right across our table.

00:11:39His body bouncing on the, on this wooden table.

00:11:44There you see it falling all the way to the floor.

00:11:48And now Edge is really taking over on Randy Orton in this one fall match.

00:11:54I don't think we have to worry about it being any more than one fall.

00:12:02Thank God.

00:12:04Where do you start out?

00:12:06Money Night Cave's trying to get back on his headset.

00:12:07There's another cover.

00:12:09A count.

00:12:09It wasn't.

00:12:10No.

00:12:13I'm trying to find a headset that works.

00:12:15Mine just, mine was shattered.

00:12:18Can you hear me?

00:12:19I can hear your ass was.

00:12:21Randy Orton's body.

00:12:23Oh, man.

00:12:24Like he said, I've never seen a superstar.

00:12:28What would be the word?

00:12:29Propelled, projected that far from the ring into our laps basically.

00:12:35We see these tables break from time to time.

00:12:38Tonight the table gave nothing back to Randy Orton but misery.

00:12:44And you can see that written all over Randy Orton's face.

00:12:47Man.

00:12:49How is Randy Orton back in the ring still competing at this point?

00:12:53And it's gotta be adrenaline, guts.

00:12:57Perhaps that ego is coming into play as Orton has survived.

00:13:03He's smacking it to the announce table.

00:13:06The trumpet line is way back into it.

00:13:08But it's edge with that reverse heel kick taking down Randy Orton.

00:13:14In this battle of former tag team partners.

00:13:18Team rated RKO at one time.

00:13:21The world tag team champions.

00:13:23One of the best teams that I believe I had ever seen.

00:13:26And now look at them.

00:13:28Trying to destroy each other.

00:13:30Oh.

00:13:31Edge trying to make his way to the top turnbuckle.

00:13:35And Orton interrupting that service with a right hand.

00:13:42Big time right hand.

00:13:43Now front face locking Edge as Randy Orton.

00:13:47These two men up in no man's land.

00:13:50Edge with those shots to Orton's ribs and down to the head.

00:13:53A nice right hand and a headbutt.

00:13:55A headbutt by Edge takes down Randy Orton.

00:13:59And Edge continues to climb.

00:14:02He's as high as he can go.

00:14:04Or countered in mid air.

00:14:06What a drop kick.

00:14:07What a shot.

00:14:09Beautiful.

00:14:10An amazing counter by Randy Orton.

00:14:14With a drop kick while Edge was in mid air.

00:14:17And Edge certainly could not change direction.

00:14:20But that looks like it took about as much out of Orton as it did out of Edge.

00:14:24Orton looks like he's on Dream Street.

00:14:26Check this out one more time.

00:14:28Mid air collision.

00:14:30Bam.

00:14:30One more time.

00:14:32One more time.

00:14:34One more time.

00:14:34Look at this.

00:14:35The drop kick.

00:14:36Orton initiated a drop kick while Edge had left the top turnbuckle.

00:14:41Nowhere to go for Edge but into the drop kick.

00:14:45And now Edge and Randy Orton hammering each other with right hands.

00:14:50God.

00:14:52Well, I knew this was gonna have a blatant shortcut.

00:14:55A cheap shot by Edge with a thumb to the eye.

00:15:00Looks like Orton did earlier, quite frankly.

00:15:02What a battle we are seeing out of these two former partners.

00:15:05That could do it.

00:15:06It's won a back record by Randy Orton.

00:15:08Cover.

00:15:09It should do it.

00:15:10It could do it.

00:15:11It really blew it.

00:15:13Did it?

00:15:15I think Mike got a signaling two to the timekeeper.

00:15:19And Orton's face signaling the frustration because he thought he had this match one

00:15:23with that move.

00:15:25Punt.

00:15:26And this is anybody's contest, the power slam, the power slam.

00:15:34Wow, they are loving this man.

00:15:38A significant two count, and what a way to start off this post-backlash draw.

00:15:44Look out.

00:15:45Out of nowhere, it was another near fall.

00:15:51And Edge and Orton are pulling out everything they had done.

00:15:54They had when they're in their offensive weaponry.

00:15:57Edge is about to start pulling his hair out if he doesn't get a victory here.

00:16:01You know, he's capable of snapping.

00:16:03I told you before, Edge has got more hangups than a women's closet.

00:16:07He could go at any minute.

00:16:14Edge and Orton.

00:16:15Edge and Orton again thinking alike.

00:16:17Like they were tag team partners at one time.

00:16:22Both men looking at cross bodies, both men thinking the same thing.

00:16:26And now referee Mike Kiyota using some discretionary good officiating to

00:16:31allow both men a chance to move around.

00:16:34But now he's gonna use a 10 count.

00:16:36Let him go ref, let him go.

00:16:37Here you see once again, like you said, both men, former members,

00:16:42former partners, former world tag team champions,

00:16:44thinking of the same move at the same time and trying to execute it.

00:16:49Edge, look at Edge, look at Edge.

00:16:53Edge taking that turnbuckle pad off and got caught with his hand in the cooking jar,

00:16:58if you will, by referee Mike Kiyota.

00:17:00Hey.

00:17:01And there's a roll up, a roll up by him.

00:17:04Whoa.

00:17:05And now, Edge counters, and Orton Beach has the punch with a thunderous

00:17:13clothesline right across the chest.

00:17:17Boy, earlier on, J.R., our fans didn't know how to take these two guys.

00:17:21Like I said, it was, either one of them have endeared themselves to the fans.

00:17:25But now, everybody's on the edge of their seat.

00:17:28Everybody's standing.

00:17:28Randy.

00:17:29This match brought with intensity.

00:17:32Three, four, three.

00:17:35Look at that straight right hands into the snake eyes.

00:17:39And Orton just, you saw his head get busted open.

00:17:42And he's trying to steal it.

00:17:43Edge is just meeting the ropes.

00:17:45Jeffrey caught him.

00:17:46Jeffrey saw it.

00:17:47Good officiating by Mike Kiyota.

00:17:51And now Orton, Orton's trying to steal one, Orton's trying to outcheat Edge.

00:17:57Uh-oh.

00:17:57As Randy Orton, as we said, was busted open on the snake eyes just a couple of minutes

00:18:03minutes ago, and Orton is bleeding profusely.

00:18:10Or an RKO.

00:18:12Yeah.

00:18:13Tattered into the impaler.

00:18:16Wow.

00:18:17The impaler DDT delivered as good as it's ever been delivered.

00:18:21The hook of the legs.

00:18:23Watch, Orton, Orton kicked out, Orton kicked out.

00:18:27Check this out one more time, here's how you see Horton's head get busted open.

00:18:31I think part of that turnbuckle was exposed.

00:18:36So Randy Orton has been busted open.

00:18:41But how did he survive that impaler?

00:18:48Randy Orton trying to, his face a crimson mask.

00:18:51Orton trying to pull himself up.

00:18:53And Edge looking for the spear.

00:18:56The turnbuckle.

00:18:57Speared the turnbuckle.

00:18:59What an athletic move by Randy Orton.

00:19:02Edge, a taste in the turnbuckle.

00:19:04And it's not covered in barbecue, let me tell you.

00:19:07That turnbuckle is not good and Edge is in a bad way, and look at Orton now.

00:19:11Look at Orton, what do you think is on his mind?

00:19:13Three letters for you.

00:19:17One's a bow.

00:19:20R-K.

00:19:22My, whoa, what?

00:19:24Orton looking for the RKO.

00:19:26Spear.

00:19:27Spear by Edge, a huge spear.

00:19:29Referee kick and so on.

00:19:31And this is over.

00:19:33What a match.

00:19:35The winner of this match.

00:19:37Edge.

00:19:39What a tremendously emotional, athletic, phenomenal wrestling match to kick off Monday Night Raw here tonight.

00:19:50And both of these superstars, you see they left it in the ring, they gave it everything to Edge.

00:19:55They're both Smith.

00:19:58Check this out, JR.

00:19:59This is what happened earlier in the match.

00:20:01We were almost wiped out as Edge speared from behind Randy Orton right on to our table.

00:20:10I don't know that Orton ever fully recovered of that.

00:20:14And then the spear attempted the second time by Edge.

00:20:18Orton then looking for the RKO.

00:20:21It was countered, but Orton could not, bam!

00:20:23A void, the spear by Edge.

00:20:27What a stubborn locker we have just seen here tonight.

00:20:31Edge winning a match against his former tag team partner, the bloody Randy Orton.

00:20:40And this is only the beginning of Monday Night Raw.

00:20:44It's come to change the world.

00:20:48Wow.

00:20:49Well, folks, we found out earlier tonight that it will be Shawn Michaels, John Cena three here tonight.

00:20:56But last Monday night, we were in London, England, where Michaels and Cena wrestled 60 minutes and 15 seconds.

00:21:05All the gifts to these opposing seconds games of that magnificent contest.

00:21:11Well, there you see it.

00:21:13Cena had the upper hand, Shawn Michaels into the court, and Cena going for his head to debut to end

00:21:18the match.

00:21:19But somehow, some way, Michaels avoided it, turned it into his advantage, sweet chin music.

00:21:26One, two, three, Shawn Michaels defeats the champ, John Cena.

00:21:32No doubt, Shawn Michaels last Monday night was the better man king.

00:21:36Well, if you missed last week, it was a classic that went almost an hour.

00:21:41Michaels and Cena are gonna face each other again tonight.

00:21:45John Cena, Shawn Michaels, three.

00:21:48And ladies and gentlemen, two weeks ago, in Milan, Italy, this man called for a volunteer from ringside to take

00:21:57on Umaga.

00:21:58No holds barred, Intercontinental title.

00:22:01Well, Bobby Lashley wasn't supposed to be in the arena, but Lashley came in, asserted himself,

00:22:07imposed his will, and newcomer, Santino Marella became the Intercontinental Champion.

00:22:14And this is an outstanding young man, ladies and gentlemen.

00:22:17You're gonna love our, I truly believe, Santino Marella is, he is infectious, he is the Intercontinental Champion.

00:22:25His first live interview is next.

00:22:32Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to the brand new Intercontinental Champion, Santino Marella.

00:22:39Welcome.

00:22:40Thank you very much.

00:22:40I can't believe I'm here.

00:22:41This is my first interview.

00:22:43Well, I don't think there's many other people that can believe you're here either.

00:22:46For those of you not familiar with Santino, you're 29 years old, you're from Calabria, Italy.

00:22:50You came to the United States three years ago to train and become a professional wrestler.

00:22:55You go back to Italy two weeks ago to visit your family.

00:22:58You buy a ticket to Monday Night Raw, and then this happens.

00:23:02I kind of believe it.

00:23:05Everybody, who wants to get into the ring with Umaga?

00:23:08Who does?

00:23:12Hey, you, that guy right there in the brown chair, do you have a name?

00:23:18Santino Marella.

00:23:23Well, Santino Marella got the opportunity of a lifetime that Mr. McMahon thought would just be an example sent to

00:23:30Bobby Lashley.

00:23:32Who wasn't even supposed to be there according to the chairman of the WWE, Lashley, had issues and customs according

00:23:39to what we were said.

00:23:40But Lashley, watch this, bam, the impact.

00:23:43And Bobby Lashley then would put Santino Marella on Umaga, and we have a new Intercontinental Champion King.

00:23:52Santino Marella, the Intercontinental Championship strapped around his waist, and not only he couldn't believe it, nobody could believe it.

00:24:00I did it, I did it, with the help of Roberto Lashley.

00:24:03Yeah, just a little bit of help from Lashley, but, I mean, you can't get tired of seeing that footage,

00:24:08can you?

00:24:08I still kind of believe it happened.

00:24:10If this is a dream, I don't want to wake up, you know?

00:24:12I feel like I won the lottery.

00:24:14My family was so proud.

00:24:16My father was crying.

00:24:17My mother, she doesn't even want me to be a wrestler, but she was happy, too.

00:24:20I have eight brothers and sisters, and we stay up all night and drink lots and lots of wine.

00:24:26But next week is my first title defense, and I'm excited, but I'm also a little bit nervous.

00:24:33I don't want this dream to come to an end, and I want this title to stay right here around

00:24:36my waist.

00:24:37Well, good luck to you, and hopefully your title reign is a long one.

00:24:40Thank you very much.

00:24:41Santino Marella, thank you.

00:24:41Grazie.

00:24:44Outstanding young man, I tell you what, I've enjoyed talking to Santino Marella,

00:24:47his first intercontinental title defense next week.

00:24:50Tonight we're here in Nashville, Tennessee.

00:24:52But last night, and this is courtesy of WWE.com, Rob Van Dam made his feelings known

00:24:59about Mr. McMahon becoming the top dog in ECW.

00:25:05Wrestling made cool again, that was ECW.

00:25:09It was wrestling hip again.

00:25:11It was interesting to watch.

00:25:13It was extreme.

00:25:16And now, imagine the glory that Vince felt watching that organization die and then reviving it in

00:25:27his own image, trying to erase all of our extreme memories and replace them with his vision.

00:25:33And now, there he is, wearing the ECW Heavyweight Championship.

00:25:40A day of victory for Vince McMahon, and truly a day of loss for the spirit of the original ECW.

00:25:51Oh, well, Rob Van Dam may have to pay for those comments here tonight.

00:25:56Because Rob Van Dam is gonna go one-on-one with the Samoan Bulldozer, Umaga.

00:26:05Van Dam, Umaga.

00:26:07Van Dam may be, uh, well...

00:26:12That's awesome.

00:26:13Yeah.

00:26:14Can I...

00:26:14Can I hold it?

00:26:16Maybe later, okay?

00:26:17You know what's got in my craw?

00:26:21Rob Van Dam.

00:26:23All those damn ECW originals.

00:26:27They don't like your father.

00:26:30Me, the chairman of the board, being the king of extreme.

00:26:34Well, that's just too damn bad because you're gonna make sure that Umaga beats the stuffings

00:26:42right out of RVD tonight, aren't you?

00:26:45Well, he's on set.

00:26:46I've already spoken to Umaga.

00:26:47He's on board.

00:26:47He is on board.

00:26:49Way to go.

00:26:50Yeah.

00:26:52On just one thing, on a personal note.

00:26:55I wanna thank you for last night.

00:27:07I love you, Dad.

00:27:17I'll let you hold it now.

00:27:18Thanks.

00:27:18Okay.

00:27:19Well, it's heavy.

00:27:20Yeah, I know.

00:27:21Polish it up for me, will you?

00:27:23Sure.

00:27:23I'll be back.

00:27:26Cool.

00:27:29E-C-D-A.

00:27:31E-C-Dot.

00:27:33Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome my guests at this time, the rated R superstar, Edge.

00:27:43Edge, despite beating Randy Orton, you don't look so happy.

00:27:50I don't want to be asked a question by some bimbo.

00:27:55I'm not happy.

00:27:56I'm angry.

00:27:58And the reason I'm angry is because Shawn Michaels has been granted yet another WWE championship match.

00:28:08I didn't lose in the Fatal 4-Way match last night.

00:28:11Randy Orton did.

00:28:12And I just beat Randy Orton.

00:28:14So you know what I'm gonna do?

00:28:15I'm gonna force myself and serve myself back in the championship picture.

00:28:22Whether you like it, whether they like it, whether anybody likes it or not.

00:28:26Get it?

00:28:28Get it?

00:28:28Got it?

00:28:29Good.

00:28:37And now the WWE Slam of the Week is brought to you by Skittles.

00:28:42Share the rainbow.

00:28:43Taste the rainbow.

00:28:44The Hardys defending the tag team titles.

00:28:47For Caden Murdock, this is an amazing opportunity.

00:28:50Look at how fast.

00:28:52Twist of fame.

00:28:53Whoa.

00:28:54Whoa.

00:28:54Wait, wait, wait.

00:28:55The Swanton.

00:28:56Referee didn't see the Swanton, the kill, and the Hardys win it.

00:29:00Man, Jeff, still champs.

00:29:06And we're back here live, ladies and gentlemen, on Monday Night Raw.

00:29:09Jim Ross here in the game.

00:29:10We're joined by Lance Cade, Trevor Murdock, and gentlemen,

00:29:13that was an amazing matchup last night at Backlash.

00:29:17You came close to becoming the World Tag Champion.

00:29:19We came very close.

00:29:21We're gonna have another night.

00:29:25And here's a young man that had a lot to do with the Hardys retaining the tag titles.

00:29:3124 hours ago.

00:29:37This night is set for one fall.

00:29:39Introduce the first from Camry, North Carolina, weighing 225 pounds.

00:29:44Here's one half of the World Tag Team Champions, Jeff Hardy.

00:29:51Let me ask you guys something.

00:29:52Does it kind of, you know, does it kind of get under your skin a little bit to see this?

00:29:56Well, I'm sure, in your opinion, this long-haired pretty boy get this kind of rock star reception tonight?

00:30:02Not at all.

00:30:03Not at all.

00:30:04Listen, after last night, we have the utmost respect for the Hardy Boys, without a doubt.

00:30:09They were the better team last night.

00:30:10They won the match fair and square.

00:30:12But Caden Murdock, we're gonna have another chance at those titles.

00:30:16Caden Murdock ain't going anywhere.

00:30:18We're here to watch Jeff Hardy.

00:30:20Come on.

00:30:21We got a second.

00:30:21That's a second.

00:30:24Introducing next, from Los Angeles, California, weighing 219 pounds, Johnny Nitro!

00:30:32You mean, you guys can ask, I gotta ask one more question after that answer.

00:30:36You mean, you guys, you don't feel like you were slided or cheated in any way, Trevor?

00:30:40No, bottom line is, Jerry, they beat us last night, fair and square,

00:30:44right in the middle of the ring, and you can't fault a man for that.

00:30:47We're all about sportsmanship here.

00:30:49We believe in sportsmanship.

00:30:51They were the better team last night, bottom line.

00:30:54The epitome of sportsmanship is right here, tag team wrestling.

00:30:58What's wrong with having a little sportsmanship?

00:30:59Well, and you guys hope to get another shot at the World Tag titles, I'm sure, right?

00:31:03We will get another opportunity.

00:31:04All right, Johnny Nair throwing Jeff Hardy going one-on-one.

00:31:07Here tonight, this side-wrestling leg split by Jeff Hardy.

00:31:10Man, he is quick.

00:31:11And Hardy, look at this!

00:31:13And the former Intercontinental Champion, Johnny Nitro, Jeff Hardy,

00:31:18a former Intercontinental Champion as well.

00:31:21This should be an outstanding one-on-one match.

00:31:23It's gonna have to go some to follow that Ed Jordan match earlier tonight,

00:31:26but be that as it may, there's a cover by, kind of an awkward cover by Johnny Nitro.

00:31:33Now, both legs hooked, and Jeff Hardy shows a great deal of spirit kicking out.

00:31:39I need a beer and some popcorn.

00:31:41This is a match here.

00:31:42Well, what you guys had last night was a match.

00:31:45I mean, it was a great match.

00:31:47After it was over, you guys, well, you guys came up on the short end of the stick.

00:31:51You had to go back to the locker room.

00:31:52What'd you talk about?

00:31:53What'd you say?

00:31:53We talked about how we're gonna go about getting the rematch and getting another shot at those titles.

00:31:59We're gonna earn our shot.

00:32:00That's what we're gonna go out and do from now on.

00:32:01And you're trying to tell me you guys were impressed with how good the Hardys were?

00:32:04When you beat Kate Murdock, you've done something, Jerry.

00:32:08That's for sure.

00:32:09So you gotta give them boys props.

00:32:11All right.

00:32:12Jeff Hardy going downstairs to Johnny Nitro.

00:32:15And Nitro catches Hardy with a big time uppercut forearm.

00:32:20And now it's Johnny Nitro imposing his will on Jeff Hardy.

00:32:23And Hardy's gotta be a little worse for wear just 24 hours ago in the ring with our guest here

00:32:30tonight, Kate and Murdock.

00:32:32Was there anything that the Hardys did that surprised you guys?

00:32:35I mean, how were they able to get the victory?

00:32:36Oh, look out!

00:32:37Whisper in the wind right there.

00:32:39The whisper in the wind can come out of nowhere.

00:32:41That's the great thing about the Hardys.

00:32:43They can hit you with anything anywhere.

00:32:44And that's the kind of competition Kate Murdock's been looking for.

00:32:48Well, Jeff Hardy hits the whisper in the wind.

00:32:50And now again, another knockdown on Johnny Nitro.

00:32:53And Nitro having a hard time getting out of the blocks here with Jeff Hardy and that unorthodox offense.

00:32:58Oh, man!

00:32:59He's an amazing athlete too.

00:33:01And there's a cover.

00:33:02The hook of the leg from the face first suplex.

00:33:07Check this out, guys.

00:33:09What would this feel like?

00:33:10Doesn't feel good, King.

00:33:12Not at all.

00:33:13And Nitro now the cover.

00:33:14Nitro with a pinning combination.

00:33:18Nitro's a tough opponent too, but Jeff keeps coming back, man.

00:33:21That's what happened with us last night.

00:33:23Lance, you're a pretty big guy.

00:33:25Would Jeff Hardy be able to pick you up like that?

00:33:26No, he wouldn't be able to pick me up.

00:33:28You know what?

00:33:28He's quicker than a rascal.

00:33:29I'll tell you that much.

00:33:30We had an awful time keeping him down last night.

00:33:33Awful time.

00:33:34Right there.

00:33:35Look.

00:33:35Jeff's getting right back up.

00:33:36Yep. Yep.

00:33:37Hardy going.

00:33:38Getting right back in the fight here.

00:33:39Hardy is quicker than a hiccup.

00:33:41No doubt about it.

00:33:42Oh, my.

00:33:42And now Hardy trying to leverage Johnny Nitro from the top turnbuckle.

00:33:47This is never good.

00:33:48No, it's not.

00:33:49Bad things happen at this height.

00:33:52Hardy elevates Nitro.

00:33:54Feels like a backdrop from the top rope.

00:33:57And now, does this look familiar, guys?

00:33:59You gotta watch out.

00:34:01Swanton Bomb.

00:34:03Swanton Bomb.

00:34:04The hook of the leg.

00:34:06And the three count.

00:34:08Hey, hey, where are you guys going?

00:34:09Wait a minute.

00:34:10Wait a minute, guys.

00:34:15That was a hell of a match, but I was a little surprised that Kate Murdoch's attitude, to be honest.

00:34:21Well, they're actually applauding.

00:34:25The winner of this match, Jeff Hardy.

00:34:29Come on, folks, give them another round of applause.

00:34:38Jeff, after last night, listen, we have all the respect in the world for you.

00:34:43And all we wanna do right now is just come in that ring and shake your hand.

00:34:48Uh-oh.

00:34:49Honestly, I'm pleasantly surprised with Kate Murdoch's attitude.

00:34:52Don't get too surprised.

00:34:53They really mean it.

00:34:55Don't jump the gun here, JR.

00:35:01Well, Kate Murdoch extending their hand to Jeff Hardy, who obviously doesn't totally trust his adversaries from last evening at

00:35:13Backlash.

00:35:16I think Jeff Hardy did the right thing.

00:35:18I kinda tend to think he did.

00:35:20Well, and you can't, I guess.

00:35:22Be cautious.

00:35:23Kate Murdoch did the right thing as well.

00:35:25They tried to congratulate him.

00:35:28Well, ladies and gentlemen, there was every man for himself last night, certainly, in the fatal four-way for the

00:35:36WWE title.

00:35:37The first man to score a pinball or submission would win the match and be the WWE champion.

00:35:43No count outs, no disqualification.

00:35:46And this was a blast, in my estimation.

00:35:50And this is what it boiled down to right at the end.

00:35:52Cena delivering the FU on Edge.

00:35:56And just as that happened, you see Orton is already out from an Edge spear, just as the FU was

00:36:01applied.

00:36:02Bang!

00:36:02Cena turned around right into some sweet chin music from John Michael.

00:36:06But John Cena got his head knocked off.

00:36:09Cena lands on Randy Orton.

00:36:11You see it right there.

00:36:12The referee hesitated for a moment.

00:36:14And before Michaels could regroup,

00:36:16Ripping Montoya went down and emphasized his three-count.

00:36:20Well, there was the view the referee had.

00:36:22He sees Orton with both doors on the mat.

00:36:24And John Cena laying across him.

00:36:26One, two, three, count.

00:36:27And there was the reaction when John Michael realized,

00:36:31It is a moment that John Cena was still the champ.

00:36:35And quite frankly, it was the sweet chin music.

00:36:37The bust.

00:36:38The rock.

00:36:39Sweet Cena, the victory.

00:36:40But tonight, ladies and gentlemen, we have the honor.

00:36:43We have the privilege of seeing John Cena, the one-on-one with Shawn Michaels.

00:36:48Unlike what Ed says, it's not for the WWE.

00:36:51I think Ed just snapped.

00:36:52Oh, yeah.

00:36:52There's something wrong with that.

00:36:53But there's nothing wrong with this.

00:36:55John Cena, HBK3 is our main event here tonight.

00:36:59But coming up next, ladies and gentlemen.

00:37:01Oh, yeah.

00:37:02That's gonna be a classic.

00:37:03But we may see a classic version of eating your words.

00:37:07Because we heard what RBD said earlier.

00:37:10And Umaga and Mr. McMahon are gonna take great exception.

00:37:13That's next.

00:37:17We are back live here in Nashville, Tennessee from Monday Night Raw.

00:37:20I want to thank all you fans for joining us for Backlash last night in Atlanta, Georgia.

00:37:25There's a look at the homepage of www.com.

00:37:27If you watched Backlash, shockingly, you saw this.

00:37:32One, two, three, four.

00:37:35Bobby Lashley certainly on the front line tonight facing not one, not two, but a trifecta of challengers.

00:37:42And any one of them can defeat Lashley and become ECW World Champion.

00:37:47I'll tell you, I'm very impressed and surprised I did not think Lashley would be doing this well against these

00:37:53three men.

00:37:55Oh!

00:37:55This is it!

00:37:56This is it!

00:37:57This is it!

00:37:58Lashley on time!

00:37:59Oh!

00:37:59And finally, in comes the chairman, Mr. McMahon.

00:38:02Oh, the referee's trying to maintain some kind of control here.

00:38:06Oh!

00:38:06Wait a minute, but...

00:38:07Yeah, the championship belt right to the skull!

00:38:10Uh-oh.

00:38:11Uh-oh.

00:38:12Oh!

00:38:13And now the boss wants to tag.

00:38:18Lashley somehow gets that massive right shoulder up.

00:38:22Oh!

00:38:23Oh!

00:38:23And again!

00:38:24Umaga comes crashing down on Bobby Lashley.

00:38:28Now the chairman wants to come in to pick up the pieces.

00:38:32Oh!

00:38:33They got him!

00:38:34They got him!

00:38:35No!

00:38:36No winner of this match, and new ECW World Champion, Mr. McMahon!

00:38:44What the hell just happened?

00:38:46The ECW World Champion is Mr. McMahon?

00:38:55Here comes the money!

00:38:57Here comes the money!

00:38:58Here comes the money!

00:39:01Oh!

00:39:02Hey!

00:39:02Now, hey, what's right?

00:39:04What is Shane McMahon doing out here at this point in time?

00:39:08We saw plenty of Shane McMahon last night at Backlash.

00:39:12It was Mr. McMahon, Shane McMahon, and Umaga in a three-on-one handicap match.

00:39:17And we just saw how it ended, Mr. McMahon, the new ECW gentleman.

00:39:22Well, obviously, Shane McMahon is coming out here to support Umaga.

00:39:27We heard, uh, well, we heard Shane reassure Mr. McMahon earlier, saying that Umaga was on board.

00:39:35Going forward, what kind of train?

00:39:37This young man is pretty quick on his feet, isn't he?

00:39:39A train of destruction?

00:39:44Ladies and gentlemen, it is my privilege to announce to you and to introduce one of the main men responsible

00:39:54for my dad becoming the ECW champion.

00:39:58Give it up for the Samoan Bulldozer, Umaga!

00:40:07Well, I can't disagree with anything that Shane McMahon said.

00:40:10Quite honestly, Mr. McMahon's Demon Seat right on the money because Umaga played a huge role.

00:40:18Wait, wait, wait, wait, what did you just call Shane?

00:40:20I think it might have been Demon Seat.

00:40:23Listen, I've heard you call him Demon Seat?

00:40:26I've heard you call him Spawn of Satan.

00:40:28We just heard Rob Van Dam spat off at the mountain.

00:40:31He's about to pay for it.

00:40:31You better be careful, JR.

00:40:34Keep your words soft and sweet because you might have to eat them.

00:40:37I think you just made a very good point.

00:40:41I'm sincerely sorry for what I said.

00:40:46Thank you for the advice.

00:40:47The advice I would give Rob Van Dam is, I hope your insurance has paid up.

00:40:51All due respect to RVD.

00:40:55I'll get it right in a moment.

00:40:57Van Dam is an amazing superstar with amazing abilities.

00:41:00But this Samoan Bulldozer is extraordinary.

00:41:05We saw that last night especially.

00:41:11And he is extraordinarily motivated, obviously, tonight.

00:41:15With no Estrada in sight thanks to Bobby Lashley.

00:41:19Who, by the way, is in Birmingham, Alabama right now.

00:41:22Being seen by Dr. Andrews, the same doctor who performed that surgery on Triple H.

00:41:27The following contest is scheduled for one fall.

00:41:30Representing ECW from Battle Creek, Michigan.

00:41:34Weighing 235 pounds, Rob Van Dam.

00:41:40Will Rob Van Dam eat his words?

00:41:43Or can RVD upset the Samoa Bulldozer?

00:41:47We'll find out when we come back next.

00:41:52We're back live here in Nashville, Tennessee.

00:41:54The match with RVD and ECW original going against the Samoan Bulldozer.

00:41:59Umada in progress here.

00:42:01A one fall matchup.

00:42:03Shane McMahon who introduced Umada is at ringside.

00:42:07It's Van Dam with that running kick on the Samoan Bulldozer.

00:42:11Look out!

00:42:11My God!

00:42:12Van Dam ate the security wall.

00:42:17And Van Dam may find himself with Bobby Lashley.

00:42:21Lashley is in Birmingham, Alabama.

00:42:22If you checked out www.com today, you can read where Mr. McMahon was gloating that

00:42:28Lashley's shoulder injured at Backlash.

00:42:31And now Lashley is in Birmingham, the same man that has been rocked on Triple H and

00:42:35many other WWE superstars.

00:42:37A world-renowned orthopedic surgeon.

00:42:39Well, as much as Mr. McMahon was gloating over what happened to Bobby Lashley,

00:42:44Mr. McMahon was highly upset with the remark.

00:42:46That Rob Van Dam had to make about Mr. McMahon being the ECW champion now.

00:42:53Van Dam referring to the spirit of ECW, the legacy of ECW.

00:42:58And now he's paying for that.

00:43:02And Van Dam talking about that Mr. McMahon has killed the spirit of ECW.

00:43:07And so I think Umaga has been sent out here by Mr. McMahon to kill the spirit of Rob Van

00:43:14Dam.

00:43:15And right now Umaga is succeeding in that mission.

00:43:18That mission domain as he hammers down to Umaga, who goes at least 350 pounds.

00:43:25And last night, Umaga not once but twice propelled himself off the top turnbuckle,

00:43:31right into the heart and chest cavity of Bobby Lashley.

00:43:35And that led as much as anything to Mr. McMahon becoming the ECW Heavyweight Champion.

00:43:40Well, uh-oh, look out here.

00:43:43You see Shane McMahon here at ringside is, oh, Samoan Trump.

00:43:48And conspicuous by his absence of course is Armando Estrada, who's usually out here with Umaga.

00:43:56But thanks to Bobby Lashley, Estrada's not here tonight.

00:43:58That occurred last week on Syfy.

00:44:00And we heard Mr. McMahon say that he would be glad to confront the ECW originals.

00:44:05Look at this.

00:44:06Boom!

00:44:07Look at the reaction of Shane McMahon.

00:44:08He is really enjoying what Umaga is doing to Rob Van Dam.

00:44:13Well, I'll tell you what.

00:44:14They may not be the most warm, welcoming party for Mr. McMahon.

00:44:17Oh, my God!

00:44:18Too much weight!

00:44:19Van Dam!

00:44:20Did he try?

00:44:21Did Van Dam make a mistake there?

00:44:23Trying to body slam and Van Dam's lower back.

00:44:27This would not hold up.

00:44:31Well, I mean, you gotta have some, you gotta be prepared.

00:44:34You gotta have some superior upper body strength if you think you're gonna slam Umaga.

00:44:39I don't know if I've seen it done yet, but Rob Van Dam didn't get the job done.

00:44:45Umaga again, those plugging blows to the back of Rob Van Dam.

00:44:48And Van Dam is courageous.

00:44:50There's no doubt about that.

00:44:51He'll take great chances.

00:44:52But now Van Dam, he is wrapped around Umaga.

00:44:56Umaga like a boa constrictor here.

00:44:58The referee's gotta make sure this is not a choke.

00:45:01If Van Dam's trying to choke Umaga out, the referee needs to make sure that-

00:45:04I think there's a sleeper hole, JR.

00:45:06It may be a sleeper hole, and I think you're right, but Van Dam,

00:45:10looking Umaga carry Van Dam's weight.

00:45:12And Umaga's fading, and look at the concern on the face.

00:45:14It is a sleeper, the sleeper hole is effective against Umaga.

00:45:18Van Dam, going to run the classic maneuvers in all of the WWE, a sleeper hole.

00:45:25Look at Shane, he can't believe it.

00:45:26Don't call him Dean C.

00:45:28He is beside himself here.

00:45:30Shane McMahon looking on with an astonished look on his face.

00:45:36Umaga fading away, the Samoan Bulldozer.

00:45:40What would this do to Umaga's reputation if he is put into dreamland here by

00:45:46Rob Van Dam?

00:45:46And right now, I can tell you this, Umaga is in great stead with-

00:45:50Well, he's trying to take for the referee that this is a choke.

00:45:54The referee has made sure it wasn't a choke.

00:45:56He's checked.

00:45:56Rob Van Dam back on the back.

00:45:58Somehow Umaga's back up, and Umaga driving Van Dam into the corner,

00:46:03but Van Dam pugnaciously holding on to the sleeper hole.

00:46:07You can't apply the sleeper hole any more effectively than this, JR.

00:46:11It is locked in, cinched in, and the legs are wrapped around the waist of Umaga.

00:46:17Can't believe it, Umaga?

00:46:19Oh, that's the way you break that hole.

00:46:20And one of the ECW originals, Rob Van Dam, who'll be in that welcoming party

00:46:25tomorrow night on SyFy when Mr. McMahon struts in as the new ECW champion for the first time.

00:46:31I cannot wait to see that.

00:46:34And Van Dam, relentless in his pursuit to defeat Umaga, and Van Dam using the sleeper.

00:46:42And the referee is gonna get a job of keeping Shane McMahon out of this fray.

00:46:49You know, I've always referred to ECW as extremely crappy wrestling.

00:46:52But now that Mr. McMahon is the champion, you won't be hearing those words out of my mouth anymore.

00:46:57Come on, Umaga!

00:46:59He's the king of extreme now, JR.

00:47:02I heard that.

00:47:02The king of extreme.

00:47:03We may hear that a lot.

00:47:04It takes a king to know a king now.

00:47:06And I got Van Dam.

00:47:09Look out!

00:47:09Umaga!

00:47:11Picking Van Dam into the ring steps.

00:47:15Umaga with that strength, and those animalistic instincts, using his power to drive Van Dam into the steel steps.

00:47:25Listen to this!

00:47:26Yeah.

00:47:26Watch and listen.

00:47:28Oh!

00:47:29Count!

00:47:30Van Dam's lower back, his kidneys hammered into the rings test.

00:47:35Look at the rings test.

00:47:37All disjointed there, as is Rob Van Dam.

00:47:40And Van Dam may not be able to get back in the ring before the referee's a ten count.

00:47:46The referee's continuing to count here.

00:47:49Rob Van Dam, he is in a bad way right now.

00:47:52What's the referee up to, JR?

00:47:53Umaga back in the ring.

00:47:55Six, five, six.

00:47:56Six, eight.

00:47:58Whoa!

00:48:00And Van Dam had about a second to spare.

00:48:04Van Dam barely made it in, and that may have been an ill-conceived decision for Van Dam.

00:48:10Flying headbutt by the Samoan Bulldozer.

00:48:14Yes!

00:48:14Van Dam's showing more guts than brains, because I'm not so sure that a smart man

00:48:19wouldn't have taken a count out, but that's not Rob Van Dam's style.

00:48:22He's a competitor.

00:48:23He's a battler.

00:48:24Yeah, sometimes it's smarter to live and fight another day.

00:48:28Run away, run away!

00:48:30Uh-oh.

00:48:31Blame in Umaga's eye.

00:48:33Well, he sees that Rob Van Dam looks like being on the track when that train you

00:48:38were talking about earlier comes through, JR.

00:48:41That's about to be the train that Shane McMahon was talking about.

00:48:46And Van Dam able to avoid the contact.

00:48:49Umaga ran his backside and his lower back into the turnbuckles.

00:48:53Will this be the opportunity that Van Dam needs to get back in this contest?

00:48:58Nice place, well-placed stick, those educated feet of Rob Van Dam.

00:49:03Here we go!

00:49:04And the ECW original trying to sunset clips.

00:49:07This man, the huge, huge base, Umaga.

00:49:12And Van Dam avoided destruction there, and the low dropkick by Van Dam finds it smart,

00:49:19and Van Dam has fought his way back into this match.

00:49:23He's not only fought his way back into this match, Van Dam has definitely got the upper hand

00:49:27right now, and we don't see many people get the upper hand on Umaga.

00:49:32Here we go!

00:49:33Van Dam on the clothesline, and just staggers Umaga.

00:49:37Spinning kick, Umaga still standing, and Van Dam now, quickly to the top.

00:49:41And finally, finally, Van Dam was able to take Umaga off the Samoan Bulldozer's feet.

00:49:47Shane McMahon is in a state of shock right now, JR!

00:49:49Van Dam!

00:49:51Van Dam!

00:49:53Scores on the Samoan Bulldozer!

00:49:55Van Dam has got the cover!

00:49:58But Umaga, so much strength, still the power to throw Van Dam right off of that cover!

00:50:06Headbutt, a hard headbutt by Umaga.

00:50:09And that might have been in the throat of Rob Van Dam.

00:50:13The referee was shielded from that maneuver.

00:50:18And Van Dam, again, the valedictorian, the right foot.

00:50:24And most of-

00:50:26Boy, Rob Van Dam has been, as you say, quicker than a hiccup and able to move out of

00:50:30the way of so many offensive moves of Umaga.

00:50:33And hey, I think Van Dam's feeling a little froggy.

00:50:35Van Dam to the top.

00:50:39He hit it!

00:50:40He hit it!

00:50:41Cover!

00:50:42Look at this!

00:50:45Umaga's got his-

00:50:46Umaga's got his hand on Van Dam's throat.

00:50:49Did he catch Van Dam?

00:50:51Look at this!

00:50:52Samoan Spike!

00:50:53I don't believe what I just saw!

00:50:55Samoan Spike!

00:50:56The cover!

00:50:57And Van Dam is a big man, thanks to Umaga!

00:51:01The winner of this match, Umaga!

00:51:05That was a good match!

00:51:05Umaga!

00:51:06The winner of this match, Umaga!

00:51:06And Van Dam is a big man, thanks to Umaga!

00:51:07That was absolutely amazing!

00:51:08And Van Dam, right in the middle of delivering that five-star frog splash,

00:51:13was caught by the throat!

00:51:16Check this out one more time!

00:51:19Just amazing!

00:51:20I just-

00:51:21Watch, look!

00:51:23Look!

00:51:24He's caught in the grip!

00:51:26That amazing grip of Umaga,

00:51:29catching Van Dam, and that-

00:51:31rendering the five-star, ineffective at that moment.

00:51:35Shane McMahon is loving it!

00:51:38The fact that Rob Van Dam, an ECW original, was beaten tonight by Umaga,

00:51:44and there's the EC, there's the king of extreme!

00:51:48Mr. McMahon!

00:51:48Here he is!

00:51:50John Cena earlier said that ECW, with Mr. McMahon holding it,

00:51:54it's good for an extremely crazy white guy!

00:51:57And Mr. McMahon looking a little crazy right now, but he's crazy with joy!

00:52:00Let me say this, he is the self-proclaimed king of extreme!

00:52:06Well, that's all right with you!

00:52:08Anyway you look at it, he is the ECW champion, JR!

00:52:12Mr. McMahon!

00:52:13His son Shane, so proud of his father!

00:52:16He actually totally loved him!

00:52:18Right in front of the whole world!

00:52:21Well, I don't expect a celebration of any significance tomorrow night on SyFy, but those guys show up, I'll tell

00:52:28you that!

00:52:31Well, I'll tell you something, that was an amazing match to see Umaga grab RBD by the throat, right in

00:52:37the middle of that five-star frog smash!

00:52:38We've had some amazing matches tonight, but ladies and gentlemen, last week in London, the main event between Shawn Michaels

00:52:44and John Cena just well may have been the most amazing match in the long, illustrious history of Monday Night

00:52:51Raw!

00:52:5160 minutes and 15 seconds, those two men competed, and we get to see the third version of that right

00:52:58here tonight, Cena Michaels 3 King!

00:53:02Well, that was a WrestleMania rematch that exceeded the original, and I think it's gonna happen again tonight!

00:53:09Well, right here tonight, this is gonna be something!

00:53:12Just 24 hours on the backlash!

00:53:14Wow!

00:53:14John Cena, one-on-one with Shawn Michaels!

00:53:18Will we see another classic?

00:53:20We'll find out, because it's next!

00:53:28There he is, ladies and gentlemen, Cowboy Troy's in the house!

00:53:31We must be in Nashville!

00:53:32The host of USA Network's Nashville star, Cowboy Troy!

00:53:37Oh, he got the bling!

00:53:39Yeah!

00:53:45Hey, Rick!

00:53:47Hey, man!

00:53:47I know, no, no, I know, I got your message during the week.

00:53:50If you would have said something in English last week, I'd get it, okay?

00:53:53Don't be screaming at me.

00:53:54I'm sorry, I apologize.

00:53:55Especially in a language I don't understand.

00:53:56I apologize.

00:53:57I mean, you know, I was in the heat of the moment.

00:53:58I mean, I almost had the great Khali beat.

00:54:00He caught me out of nowhere.

00:54:01I was just angry, and I took it out on the wrong person.

00:54:03I should have never taken it out on you, and I apologize.

00:54:05Well, thank you.

00:54:06But to make it up to you...

00:54:07That's all I needed to hear.

00:54:07Listen, to make it up to you, I got us a match against the world's greatest tag team.

00:54:12Really?

00:54:12You can go out there, and we can show them that we're winners.

00:54:15What do you think?

00:54:16I like it.

00:54:17You know, hey, look, look, you know, if it doesn't go our way, you know, that's it.

00:54:22But I just want to show you, prove to you, that we're winners.

00:54:26Yeah, that's what I've been trying to tell you since day one.

00:54:28You can be a winner.

00:54:29You can be a champion.

00:54:30But then, you know what?

00:54:31What?

00:54:32You only have one more chance to prove it to me, and that's tonight.

00:54:35That's all I need.

00:54:36That's all I need.

00:54:37That's all I need.

00:54:38I'm gonna show them.

00:54:40Khalido, um, are you sure that's a good idea?

00:54:46Relax.

00:54:47I know what I'm doing.

00:54:53The following contest is scheduled for one fall.

00:54:57And if Shawn Michaels is victorious, he will receive a title shot next week on Raw.

00:55:06Is that what we've been waiting for?

00:55:08I know I'm sexy.

00:55:11I've got the looks.

00:55:13The drives are cool.

00:55:15While I've got the moves that really move on.

00:55:19I'm sexy.

00:55:20A lot of Shawn Michaels fans here in Nashville, Tennessee, and around the world as we await the arrival of

00:55:27the show's stopping.

00:55:28I'm not your boy, Toy.

00:55:31Cena Michaels 3.

00:55:32I'm just a sexy boy.

00:55:36I'm not your boy, Toy.

00:55:40I'm makin' hot.

00:55:42I'm makin' shiver.

00:55:50What is that?

00:55:54Is that live in the back?

00:55:58I didn't do it.

00:55:59Did anybody see anything?

00:56:00Did anybody get it?

00:56:01I don't know.

00:56:02Hey!

00:56:03Hey!

00:56:03What the hell is going on?

00:56:04What the hell is going on?

00:56:04What happened?

00:56:05Who's got a man of his mouth?

00:56:07Did anybody say anything?

00:56:09Nobody saw.

00:56:09Nobody saw who got here.

00:56:11It was you.

00:56:12You did this to Shawn Michaels!

00:56:14It was over.

00:56:15You didn't want to face him tonight at the main event!

00:56:18Oh, God!

00:56:27Shawn, are you okay?

00:56:28Say something.

00:56:31What the hell is going on?

00:56:33What the hell is going on?

00:56:34What happened?

00:56:35What happened?

00:56:36He's knocked out.

00:56:37I'm not.

00:56:38What the hell happened to him?

00:56:39I don't know yet, sir.

00:56:40Come on.

00:56:41I don't know yet.

00:56:42But I'm going to get to the bottom.

00:56:43This is one of my main event guys.

00:56:44I don't give a damn for him, but he's in the main event.

00:56:47You go find out what happened, okay?

00:56:50I want to know who did this.

00:56:52I've got a pretty good idea.

00:56:53Get the hell out of here and go find out.

00:56:55You guys.

00:56:55Yeah.

00:56:58Hey, bud.

00:56:58Tie it off.

00:56:59Doc, I want him competing tonight.

00:57:01I don't give a damn what kind of shit he's in.

00:57:03I want him in the ring.

00:57:04Did you hear what I said?

00:57:06We gotta help him!

00:57:06Yeah.

00:57:08You damn well right you gotta help him.

00:57:11Man.

00:57:13Don't they are?

00:57:15I don't know who did it, but you know, we did hear Edge say earlier that he was gonna insert

00:57:19himself back in the house.

00:57:21That's speculation.

00:57:22Let's not go there.

00:57:24Well, we hope to get an update on Shawn Michaels' condition, which is much more important to me than the

00:57:30whodunit.

00:57:34This is a tag team contest scheduled for one fall.

00:57:38Introducing first, the team of Carlito and the Nature Boy, Rick Flair.

00:57:45Now, the way I understood the conversation between Flair and Carlito earlier was that this is their last, it's gonna

00:57:53be their last opportunity to be successful.

00:57:56Or Carlito said he just goes his own way.

00:58:00Is that, did you understand it that way?

00:58:01Well, I think Carlito was trying to make a point to Rick Flair that, uh, yeah, if things didn't go

00:58:08their way tonight, he would be out of Flair's hair.

00:58:12Speaking of hair, I think Carlito's barber must have a drinking bottle.

00:58:22And making their way to the ring at a combined weight of 497 pounds, Charlie Haas, Shelton Benjamin, the world's

00:58:31greatest tag team.

00:58:34Well, Haas and Benjamin have been the tag team champions.

00:58:37They call themselves the world's greatest tag team.

00:58:41What do you mean he called himself?

00:58:43You think that's not an official title?

00:58:46Well, it might be trademarked.

00:58:48I don't know if it's earned.

00:58:51They are former tag team champions, they are.

00:58:54I agree.

00:58:55They're an outstanding team, but are they the world's greatest tag team?

00:59:02Well, Carlito and Flair seem to be on the same page.

00:59:04I think that's good.

00:59:06Flair's done a nice job mentoring Carlito.

00:59:08And Carlito certainly did not fare well last week against the Great Khali.

00:59:13But quite frankly, who does?

00:59:15Nonetheless, it's Charlie Haas and Ric Flair starting it out here.

00:59:19We're live tonight in Nashville.

00:59:21Supposed to see Shawn Michaels and John Cena three here tonight.

00:59:25That match certainly in jeopardy as it relates to Shawn Michaels being obviously,

00:59:30well, obviously is not a good word, but apparently assaulted.

00:59:36And that's where the term comes from.

00:59:40Ric Flair Electric Company turning on the switch.

00:59:46And Carlito following suit brought to the chest of Charlie Haas.

00:59:53Well, I can't believe that we heard Mr. McMahon screaming at our doctors and trainers back there.

00:59:59He wants Shawn Michaels able to compete tonight no matter what shape he's in.

01:00:03Come on.

01:00:03That's a little cold.

01:00:07I think Mr. McMahon has no heart.

01:00:09I think Mr. McMahon has no compassion for his fellow human beings.

01:00:12Do you think he treats his superstars like animals?

01:00:14Easy there, Rob Van Damme.

01:00:21Well, I'm very concerned about the health of Shawn Michaels, I can tell you that,

01:00:25whether he can feature tonight or not.

01:00:27And Carlito hammering away at the over-talented, uber-talented Shelton Benjamin

01:00:31in the springboard.

01:00:33Benjamin avoids that.

01:00:34And push.

01:00:36He can run a takeover by Carlito.

01:00:39And Carlito got a new cover in a near fall.

01:00:42And that's the thing we see from Carlito.

01:00:44I mean, this young man has all the tools, all the talent, everything he needs to be

01:00:48very successful here in the WWE.

01:00:51But Ric Flair thought he was just lacking passion, that intensity.

01:00:56And now that's what this teaming of Flair and Carlito is all about,

01:01:01trying to instill that passion into Carlito.

01:01:03I don't think he can be successful in any line of work without passion,

01:01:06without wanting to be the very best.

01:01:08And Flair trying to intervene, that may have been not as well served as Ric had

01:01:12intended for it to be, because it allowed the double team for a moment there.

01:01:17And a low shot right to the lower back, the kidney area, of Carlito by Charlie Haas.

01:01:22If anybody knows about passion, it's Ric Flair 16 times.

01:01:26He held a world championship, traveled all over the country, the globe,

01:01:31defending those titles and wrestling against every kind of opponent.

01:01:38Night in and night out.

01:01:39Look at this.

01:01:39There's a hook and a leg now.

01:01:41The back record affected.

01:01:42And Carlito showing passion and resilience as he was able to kick out in a modified

01:01:50chemical clutch applied by Charlie Haas.

01:01:58Come on, Carlito.

01:01:59What we heard earlier is if you and Flair don't win this match,

01:02:02it's gonna be the last time you team.

01:02:03Can you imagine how, actually, you gotta say lucky in a sense that Carlito is to get

01:02:09to be taken under the wing, so to speak, of somebody like Ric Flair.

01:02:12No doubt about that, tag made.

01:02:15We like taking batting practice and having Mickey Mantle as your hitting coach,

01:02:19for example, back in my day, when I was a kid.

01:02:22I was about to say, you're really dating yourself there.

01:02:24How about having A-Rod as your hitting coach?

01:02:25That would be good.

01:02:27Except for New York.

01:02:28Great right hand, and Carlito's on softball fighting back out of the corner.

01:02:32You gotta like this, Carlito showing a lot of intestinal fortitude.

01:02:35But then taken down, quickly and suddenly, by the Athletic Shelton Benjamin,

01:02:41because he's so explosive, there's the cover by Benjamin, and he got a near ball.

01:02:47Travis Hafner is my hitting coach.

01:02:49But right now, Carlito has been fortunate to be, I mean, to get to,

01:02:53what is it like to get to garner that knowledge and that, I mean,

01:02:57just the way Ric Flair carries himself.

01:02:59I mean, it's just an amazing opportunity for this young man.

01:03:02And it has rolled up.

01:03:03We've seen it.

01:03:04I agree.

01:03:05I think Flair's words earlier that Carlito basically were, hey,

01:03:10we're not gonna have any more arguments.

01:03:11If we have any more arguments, we're gonna be done.

01:03:14And any more disagreements, and that double team move, extremely effective.

01:03:19And so, Carlito kicking out and impressed with that.

01:03:23This is the Flair.

01:03:23Fight up, Carlito.

01:03:24Fight up out of that.

01:03:25Stiff crossfaces by the Seton Hall University graduate, Charlie Haas.

01:03:30That's right.

01:03:30You gotta, Flair's gotta realize.

01:03:32Hard to fight up when you're facing the world's greatest tag team, JR.

01:03:37And Haas punishing Carlito.

01:03:41Don't sell Haas and Benjamin short.

01:03:42I never sold them short.

01:03:44I think their name, I think their name may be a little over the top.

01:03:48That's all I said.

01:03:49It's only one man's opinion.

01:03:50It's irrelevant.

01:03:51They're a hell of a tag team.

01:03:53There you go.

01:03:53Give them the props.

01:03:54And Carlito, again, got him back with rights and less.

01:03:58And there's a tip shot on Charlie Haas and Benjamin again.

01:04:03And Carlito counters.

01:04:05Carlito countered.

01:04:07Yeah, but that took a lot out of Carlito as well.

01:04:09And that was a blink of an eye countered by Carlito.

01:04:15Carlito needs to get the flair to make a tag right now.

01:04:19Carlito is very elusive sometimes.

01:04:22Can not smoke through the keyhole.

01:04:24Yes, there we go.

01:04:27And the crowd was ready.

01:04:28But Sheldon Benjamin was not.

01:04:30Now you gotta see that passion, Carlito.

01:04:33Here's that intensity.

01:04:35Yeah.

01:04:36The future WWE Hall of Famer, the nature born Ric Flair.

01:04:40Look at that.

01:04:41Nice drop kick by Carlito, taking Charlie Haas out of the picture momentarily.

01:04:46It's Flair and Benjamin, I think, the legal men in the ring.

01:04:51Beautiful background.

01:04:52Great elevation that Flair putting Benjamin in the lights and then chopping him right down.

01:04:57He's styling and profiling.

01:04:59Did that struck, Ric?

01:05:01Yeah.

01:05:04What the hell?

01:05:06What is this?

01:05:08Carlito out of nowhere just nailed Flair with a left hand of Carlito beating the hell out of Ric Flair.

01:05:17Corey Wilson is in the state of shock here.

01:05:19What is Carlito thinking?

01:05:22They're gonna strike the eyes of Carlito, who with the ultimate cheap shot on the Nature Boy,

01:05:27would it look like Claire and Carlito were gonna turn this whole tag match around.

01:05:32And Flair is not gonna stand for that.

01:05:34Oh, here comes Ric Flair, baby.

01:05:37The dirtiest player in the game.

01:05:38You know how dirty the dirtiest player in the game.

01:05:41Look at Flair go.

01:05:41Flair's not gonna be pumped up by Carlito or anyone else.

01:05:47And the former, look at Flair, front-faced looking Carlito right down on the steel.

01:05:52Oh, man.

01:05:53Oh, man.

01:05:54And Carlito trying to.

01:05:56Don't ever turn you back on the dirtiest player in the game.

01:05:59What's the matter with you, Carlito?

01:06:00Have you not learned anything?

01:06:02Carlito thinks Flair is just gonna lay back and take it easy.

01:06:05Look at Nate.

01:06:08Flair taking this as a personal insult.

01:06:11Carlito wrecked Flair's eyes, temporarily blinding the 16-time champion.

01:06:18I don't know what Carlito had in mind, but it didn't go well.

01:06:23Way to go, Nate.

01:06:25Flair, what the hell just happened?

01:06:27I don't know, I just found him like this.

01:06:29Are you kidding me?

01:06:30Edge, Edge.

01:06:31What's going on?

01:06:32I know who did his conscience.

01:06:33Chioda, Chioda.

01:06:35Go find me Randy Orton.

01:06:37Now.

01:06:37Okay, okay.

01:06:38Edge.

01:06:41He's unconscious, Coach.

01:06:42Edge.

01:06:44Well, ladies and children, it's been a chaotic night tonight.

01:06:47We thought we were going to see Michael Cena 3, but earlier tonight we found Shawn Michaels.

01:06:52His music was playing.

01:06:53We thought Michaels was coming out to compete.

01:06:55Michaels knocked unconscious, bleeding with...

01:06:58Yeah, knocked unconscious by someone, and I speculated that it was Edge, but that was

01:07:03just moments ago.

01:07:04What the hell just happened?

01:07:05Edge was found laid out in his locker room.

01:07:07Are you kidding me?

01:07:08Edge, Edge.

01:07:08What's going on?

01:07:09Again, as this whodunit continues here, we got to...

01:07:13Go find me Randy Orton.

01:07:14The speculation is that Randy Orton now is the...

01:07:17According to what the coach said, the suspect...

01:07:19Waiter, don't you get ahead of yourself.

01:07:20He didn't say he was a suspect.

01:07:22He just said, go find Randy Orton.

01:07:23I don't know...

01:07:24We don't know who did this.

01:07:25Go find Randy Orton.

01:07:26Say hello.

01:07:28You know, Orton's got a lot to gain this pitch.

01:07:30You gotta admit that.

01:07:31Well, somebody did it.

01:07:32That's all we know.

01:07:34What a night, huh, JR?

01:07:35Yeah, what the hell is this?

01:07:38Friday Night's...

01:07:39Hey!

01:07:39What do you mean, what is this?

01:07:40It's Mr. Kennedy!

01:07:41I don't know who he is, but why is Mr. Kennedy from Friday Night SmackDown here tonight on

01:07:47Monday Night Raw?

01:07:50Mr. Money in the Bank, the man that won the...

01:07:53The Eggman Money in the Bank match at WrestleMania 23.

01:07:57In that case, he has a contract.

01:07:59He can challenge any champion.

01:08:01From Raw, Snowdown, or ECW, anytime, anywhere he chooses.

01:08:07Man, what else is gonna happen here tonight, JR?

01:08:10I have no idea, right?

01:08:13Seen Shawn Michaels waylaid.

01:08:15It's Great Lane.

01:08:19And now this.

01:08:21Interruption.

01:08:24I didn't do that.

01:08:26No.

01:08:27Hey, I got a white Bronco parked out bag.

01:08:30You can go check it.

01:08:31There's no bloodstains.

01:08:34If there was a glove found at the scene of the crime, I guarantee you it wouldn't fit

01:08:39this hand, okay?

01:08:43I'm not the one that took out Shawn Michaels and Edge.

01:08:46No, see.

01:08:46See, I don't need to do stuff like that.

01:08:49I don't need to do stuff like that because I've got...

01:08:54This.

01:08:59Okay.

01:08:59Hey.

01:09:01At Backlash last night, I pretty much put the fear of God into any competitor who was

01:09:06competing for a championship.

01:09:10I could have easily walked out of Backlash as a champion, but I decided not to.

01:09:22You wanna know why?

01:09:25Because I wanted to come here tonight and ask you all a burning question.

01:09:29That burning question is, who here in this arena would like to see Mr. Kennedy cash in this briefcase right

01:09:41here, right now, in Nashville, Tennessee?

01:09:45Oh my gosh.

01:09:50I can't hear you, huh?

01:09:58No.

01:09:59No.

01:10:00That's not gonna happen.

01:10:01One.

01:10:02No, hey.

01:10:03No.

01:10:04Hey, hey, hey.

01:10:06Let me clarify, okay?

01:10:10No.

01:10:11I...

01:10:13No, I don't suck because I've got this.

01:10:18I think that what Edge did with his money in the bank briefcase was wrong.

01:10:23was an act of cowardice, to say the least.

01:10:27I mean, to wait until John Cena had been pretty much beaten to a bloody pulp

01:10:31by five other competitors inside an elimination chamber.

01:10:34I mean, come on, man, that's just wrong.

01:10:41And I would never do something like that.

01:10:45Which is why I've decided to be up front with you people.

01:10:49I'm going to be a man about this.

01:10:51I'm going to give you the time and the place where it's all going to go down.

01:10:58You ready?

01:11:01Ladies and gentlemen, the countdown is on

01:11:05because in just 335 days at WrestleMania 24,

01:11:16Mr. Kennedy cashes in the briefcase.

01:11:19There will be a new champion

01:11:23and his name will be

01:11:26Mr. Kennedy!

01:11:57Kennedy!

01:12:03Big news from Mr. Kennedy regarding the Money in the Bank contract.

01:12:09And when he has apparently decided to exercise the most valuable option in the entire WWE.

01:12:19It's going to be on the biggest, grandest stage of them all.

01:12:22He's right here, he's right here.

01:12:23My God, Kennedy, he's back up, give me some room, give me some room, give me some room.

01:12:27Randy.

01:12:28Randy.

01:12:29Randy.

01:12:30He's gonna come.

01:12:30Randy.

01:12:31I gotta tell Mr. Ringman, Keone, get a doctor in here right now.

01:12:35Right now.

01:12:35I gotta go tell Mr. Ringman.

01:12:37Kennedy, stay with him.

01:12:38I got you.

01:12:41Randy.

01:12:45And now, the WWE Rewind is brought to you by Subway.

01:12:50Try the new Subway Fresh Fit Meal today.

01:12:53Subway, eat fresh.

01:12:56Here we go, one ball matchup, WWE winners tied at stake here.

01:12:59Great wrestling match between these young ladies.

01:13:01My, look at them.

01:13:03They cross body.

01:13:05These two are really going at each other.

01:13:07For a brick of the eyes.

01:13:08That was uncalled for.

01:13:11Reverse DDT.

01:13:12Yes.

01:13:13Molina still the WWE Women's Champion.

01:13:20Were you shocked?

01:13:21I'm shocked, I'm amazed.

01:13:23And you, the UCAW World Champion?

01:13:25Sir, sir.

01:13:27Excuse me.

01:13:28I am so sorry.

01:13:30But what?

01:13:31I know you want me to get to the bottom of all this.

01:13:33And somebody is trying to take out all of our top superstars.

01:13:35I mean, Shawn Michaels is down, Edge is down, Randy Orton is down.

01:13:39Yeah.

01:13:39I'm sorry.

01:13:41You see, you're supposed to find out who did all this, aren't you?

01:13:45I know, I know that's something.

01:13:46And you failed me.

01:13:47Yeah.

01:13:48Well, guess what?

01:13:51I figured it out, I know who did it.

01:13:53You have?

01:13:54Yeah.

01:13:55You know why this person did all of this?

01:13:57Why?

01:13:59Because of WWE Champion, John Cena.

01:14:04So tell you what you do, you go tell John Cena, go to the ring.

01:14:09And then you, Cena, and everybody out there is gonna come face to face with the man who did this.

01:14:18Go tell him, Cena.

01:14:20You got it.

01:14:21Yeah.

01:14:30So the chairman of the WWE, the self-proclaimed king of extreme, the ECW Champion has figured out who's taking

01:14:39out the WWE Superstars.

01:14:41Well, he is Benjamin McMahon, you know.

01:14:45The following is a Divas tag team match schedule for one fall.

01:14:49Introducing first, the team of Victoria and the WWE Women's Champion, Melina.

01:14:56Yeah.

01:14:57Well, we're live in Nashville, Tennessee.

01:14:59The day started so wonderfully.

01:15:00A beautiful day in Nashville.

01:15:02The King and I went to Grand Ole Opry and Jack's Barbecue and Ernest Tubbs' Burger Shop had a great

01:15:07day.

01:15:08And now it's been carnage after carnage after carnage here tonight.

01:15:12Superstars going down like they had the flag.

01:15:14What's going on, King?

01:15:16Well, I don't know about that, but I do know that Monday Night Raw is brought to you by Subway.

01:15:21Try the new Subway Fresh Fit Meal today.

01:15:24Subway, eat fresh.

01:15:25That's a bad gum upset I could use right now.

01:15:27Hey, I bought some fruity, delicious, delicious, fruity, fruity, fruity Skittles.

01:15:32That's what I need right now, some Skittles.

01:15:36Oh, boy.

01:15:39Introducing next, the team of Candace Michelle and Mickie James.

01:15:43We are in Nashville, Tennessee, and everybody and his brother who's married to his sister

01:15:49is here tonight to see this match.

01:15:51I'm going to tell you something, this is going to be a doozy.

01:15:55Well, Molina still as we saw the WWE Women's Champion, Mickie James and former Playboy cover

01:16:04girl, Candace Michelle.

01:16:07Woo!

01:16:09A lot of bouncing and jumping going on.

01:16:12Meet Molina and Victoria.

01:16:14Well, so Mr. McMahon has now told Jonathan Coachman to find John Cena, have John Cena come out here.

01:16:21And then Mr. McMahon would apparently show Cena who's been destroying the WWE superstars, all because, according to the chairman

01:16:32of John Cena.

01:16:33There's a nice backslide.

01:16:37Candace Michelle's wrestling skills are improving each and every time I see her in the ring.

01:16:41Hey, this looks like Rob Van Dam on Umaga earlier.

01:16:44Well, no, wait a minute.

01:16:45Doesn't look anything like that.

01:16:47Unfortunately, that was not a happy ending for Rob Van Dam.

01:16:52And now the Women's Champion, Molina.

01:16:56They can drop kick.

01:16:58And Candace looking something else.

01:17:00And got almost a near fall.

01:17:02Look how quickly.

01:17:03Well, you don't wanna make Molina angry.

01:17:08The old thing about the wrath of a woman scorned.

01:17:12Molina seems like she's always scorned.

01:17:15Full of wrath.

01:17:16And Mickie James.

01:17:19Oh, man.

01:17:20I thought Mickie James and Molina had quite the match next to the backlash.

01:17:23And a lot of it was just like this.

01:17:25Mickie mounting Molina and then hammering down those right hands.

01:17:28I love the hair takedown.

01:17:32I love it when it just degenerates into a cat fight like this.

01:17:37Forget the wrestling.

01:17:38Go ahead, girls.

01:17:39These are Hellcats, all right, hammering each other.

01:17:42And again, Molina, very proud that she retained in a real hard fought match.

01:17:48The WWE Women's Title, the Backlash.

01:17:51Hard tag, but a legal tag.

01:17:54Molina, Lena.

01:17:55What a big tag.

01:17:56How long will she in the ring?

01:18:00Victoria, I feel like it's illegal.

01:18:02Has Molina been tagged?

01:18:03I don't think so.

01:18:04Well, no, but Mickie James has drug Molina back in by the head of her hair.

01:18:08And it's good official.

01:18:09Referee Jack Dole.

01:18:11Mickie James pulled to the outside.

01:18:14That's not a real sports line.

01:18:15But Victoria is a legal competitor.

01:18:18She pretty much returning the favor there.

01:18:19Mickie James.

01:18:22Earlier on.

01:18:23Victoria, the lower part of Mickie's back.

01:18:26Mickie James.

01:18:27To the edge of the wrestling ring there.

01:18:31Well, ref started to count here.

01:18:32And Victoria realizes she has to get Mickie James back into the ring or

01:18:36they're gonna be counted out here.

01:18:39Hard shot of Mickie James knocked down.

01:18:42And Victoria, former champion herself, with a cover and a near fall.

01:18:47And it has been a chaotic night here.

01:18:49We thought that we're gonna see Cena Michaels three.

01:18:53Then Shawn Michaels is completely knocked unconscious by an unknown assailant apparently.

01:18:59And then it was Edge.

01:19:00And then Randy Orton.

01:19:02And Molina has a great pair of lungs.

01:19:04And now Mr. McMahon apparently has, at least he says he saw the mystery.

01:19:08There's a hook of the leg by Molina.

01:19:10I know, and you know me, JR.

01:19:11As much as I love to watch the divas go at each other, I can't wait to find out who

01:19:16done it.

01:19:17I mean, I don't know any better way to put it than who's been causing all this carnage.

01:19:22He's responsible for it.

01:19:27Well, somehow, what I don't understand is somehow Mr. McMahon is blaming John Cena.

01:19:33How can you blame John Cena?

01:19:35You think John Cena did that to all these guys?

01:19:38No, I don't think so.

01:19:39Why would I think that?

01:19:40Well, I mean, then how can you blame John Cena?

01:19:43I don't know, King.

01:19:44We're gonna find out tonight before we leave the air tonight.

01:19:46I'll tell you that.

01:19:48Nice clothesline.

01:19:50Candice Michelle and Victoria.

01:19:53Come on, let's get one.

01:19:54Look out, Candice.

01:19:56Boy, Candice is fired up.

01:19:57Candice trying to get the crowd involved in her.

01:20:00I'll get involved.

01:20:01Whoa, whoa, whoa.

01:20:02Come on, Candice.

01:20:04This is her takedown.

01:20:06And Melina interrupted the count.

01:20:09And Melina, I don't know why she, Melina's not, did Melina tag?

01:20:14No, she didn't tag.

01:20:15Come on, Rep, you got a two-on-one situation here.

01:20:17Oh, well, not anymore, you got two-on-two.

01:20:21Hey, Wayne, wait a minute.

01:20:22Candice at the roll-off.

01:20:23Candice at the roll-off.

01:20:25And Candice at the roll-off.

01:20:28The winners of this match.

01:20:30Wow!

01:20:31Good job!

01:20:33Come over here, let's have a group hug.

01:20:35Easy.

01:20:36Well, a victory, you know.

01:20:41Well, Candice LeShell and Mickie James may be celebratory here tonight with their victory.

01:20:50I can tell you some men that don't have a lot to celebrate tonight.

01:20:53Oh, my man.

01:20:53Every time I step in the room.

01:20:55And John Cena has been accused of being the reason superstars are going down.

01:21:01He's coming out here next.

01:21:02We're going to get to the bottom of this.

01:21:06Vincent Kennedy McMahon, ECW Heavyweight Champion.

01:21:11The thought of it makes me want to puke.

01:21:14ECW died because of you, Vince McMahon.

01:21:18This is his way of saying, I won.

01:21:20I broke my neck.

01:21:22I broke my back.

01:21:23I met my wife.

01:21:25I have my kids because of ECW.

01:21:28And so for you to walk around and say that you're the champ?

01:21:34I've had that title five different times, Vince.

01:21:37It's hard to win it, but it's even harder to keep it.

01:21:41Now that you've urinated on all of professional wrestling,

01:21:46now that you've wished for it, Vince, it's come true.

01:21:48Because of your damn ego.

01:21:54I did everything I could in my heart for ECW because I believed in ECW.

01:22:01And I don't know what the hell I believe in anymore.

01:22:04It's truly a day of loss for the spirit of the original ECW.

01:22:13Well, you better believe in the new ECW champion, Mr. McMahon, because he is going to be there live tomorrow

01:22:21night on the Sci-Fi Channel.

01:22:23Mr. McMahon.

01:22:25ECW rooms will get a chance to meet their new champion tomorrow night.

01:22:28But earlier tonight, we found Shawn Michaels had been assaulted in the back area of the Nashville Arena

01:22:35before Michaels could take on John Cena and Michael Cena 3.

01:22:40But Michaels wasn't the only casualty tonight.

01:22:43Right.

01:22:43I expected or I suspected that Edge was responsible for that action on Shawn Michaels.

01:22:49But then later on, like you said, they found Edge laid out in his locker room.

01:22:52And John the coachman thought he summoned to go get Randy Orton.

01:22:56And then Randy Orton was found in the locker room area, unconscious.

01:23:04Mr. McMahon has blamed John Cena for all of these incidents.

01:23:30Well, John Cena foregoing his usual entrance.

01:23:35He's coming down to the ring.

01:23:36He means business.

01:23:37He's got something he wants to say right now.

01:23:42He can't blame John Cena.

01:23:43He didn't do this.

01:23:44I'm not blaming John Cena for anything.

01:23:47A mystery man believes that Cena is implicated in some shape, form, or fashion.

01:23:54Apparently, these fans, apparently, they're glad to see the WWE Champion.

01:24:00Well, the man responsible is supposedly coming out here to confront John Cena.

01:24:05And all of these, all of our fans there tonight.

01:24:11Apparently, someone is trying to make a statement.

01:24:18Apparently, someone is trying to get the attention of the WWE Champion.

01:24:28Whoever you are, I got news for you.

01:24:31I could have saved you the energy of three beatdowns.

01:24:34I do not ever, ever back down from any challenge.

01:24:39So, simply put, whoever you are, you want some, come get some.

01:24:54Well, obviously, John Cena doesn't give a damn who it is.

01:25:00Cena does not like being implicated in this whole tragic night where WWE Superstars have been physically eliminated.

01:25:10I'm right here, I am right here.

01:25:14Well, Mr. McMahon said that the man responsible for the carnage was gonna come out here and confront John Cena.

01:25:20Where is he?

01:25:23John Cena asking that question right now, where the hell is he?

01:25:28Cena not a man to back up from anyone at any time.

01:25:33Cena holding the gold saying, if this is what you did this for, if this is what you're after, like

01:25:37he said, come get some.

01:25:38Nobody, nobody.

01:25:40Is it nobody?

01:25:43Nobody.

01:25:44Hey, at this point of the night, nothing's gonna surprise me, I don't think.

01:25:48Well, then again, my God, you cannot be.

01:25:54Good God Almighty, King, the biggest man in the WWE, the great Khali at 7'3", 420 pounds,

01:26:05apparently has destroyed Shawn Michaels, Edge, and Randy Orton.

01:26:10And now he's coming for John Cena.

01:26:12And Cena's heavy bombs are having no effect to this huge animal.

01:26:18My God.

01:26:20Cena tossed around like a small child by this giant of a man, this mastodon.

01:26:29Oh my gosh, it's.

01:26:31Cena's hitting Khali as hard as he can.

01:26:35Look at the size difference here.

01:26:37The freak.

01:26:39But John Cena got run over by a truck.

01:26:41And everything John Cena tried didn't even take the great Khali off Khali's feet.

01:26:47And Cena threw everything but the kitchen sink and Khali and no effect.

01:26:52Khali takes Cena down with one shot.

01:26:54Oh, now that huge boot to the head.

01:26:56You got a size 20 boot, right to Cena's face.

01:27:01And speaking of faces, look at that.

01:27:04Brightening human being I've ever seen in the great Khali.

01:27:08And now Khali with those huge feet and all that strength,

01:27:13continuing to dominate the WWE Champion, John Cena.

01:27:18Uh-oh.

01:27:20John Cena has never been physically dominated,

01:27:25as we're seeing here, by this monster of a man.

01:27:30JR, those huge boots to the midsection could crack Cena's ribs,

01:27:34every one of those shots.

01:27:35And now what?

01:27:37No.

01:27:39Khali measuring Cena.

01:27:40Look at this.

01:27:41Like I said, the size is low.

01:27:43Cena blocking the good hand of Khali.

01:27:46And Cena, let him try to FU.

01:27:48You got him.

01:27:49Cena got Khali up.

01:27:51You got him.

01:27:51Cena got Khali up, but the great Khali drove his elbow twice

01:27:56into the temple of John Cena.

01:27:58Cena got Khali up in the FU.

01:28:01No.

01:28:03No.

01:28:04My God.

01:28:05You know what's coming here?

01:28:06How many superstars have filled it?

01:28:09The hands of Khali in that moment.

01:28:11A double barrel tuck slam.

01:28:13Both hands around the neck.

01:28:16And John Cena has been destroyed physically on this night by the great Khali.

01:28:22The 7'3", 420 pounder has imposed his physical will on John Cena as no man has ever done before.

01:28:37My God.

01:28:39Is this an omen?

01:28:43Khali, has Khali made a declaration of one thing, there's a declaration of combat.

01:28:50Look at John Cena, 24 hours after backlash.

01:28:55Well, check this out.

01:28:57Cena blocked the chop from the giant Khali.

01:29:01And it looked like things were gonna go John Cena's way.

01:29:04I thought he had the possibility of FUing.

01:29:07But then, oh, that elbow just jacked the jaw of John Cena.

01:29:13And then put the lights out of the jam.

01:29:15And JR, if there's one man who's capable of destroying all four members in that final four-way match.

01:29:32Including John Cena, it's the great Khali.

01:29:35The great Khali has destroyed the WWE Champion.
