00:13The following is an eight man tag team contest scheduled for one more.
00:19Introducing first, they are the World Tag Team Champions,
00:25Edge and Randy Orton.
00:28You know, King, the Civil War started near Charleston and Fort Scepter.
00:34And this is what we got tonight, a civil war between four factions here.
00:42Well, I don't think there's going to be anything civil about this war that we're about to witness.
00:47You look at the list of famous folks in Charleston,
00:50and one word sticks out to describe these two guys.
00:54The actor-comedian, Andy Davis.
00:57Well, I'm not so sure he's famous at Charleston, but
01:01Ric Flair must be looking on from somewhere right now.
01:06These men in Ric Flair last week was deplorable.
01:12Introducing their tag team partners from Los Angeles, California, and a combined weight of 450 pounds,
01:20Mercury, Nitro, and Molina, M, M, M.
01:25Well, the red carpet has been rolled out.
01:28The paparazzi precedes the team of Eminem and Molina.
01:34Well, you better take a lot of pictures because this may be the last time these two guys look this
01:40good.
01:41After the Hardys and DX get through with them.
01:44Well, they are three-time former tag team champions.
01:49They are three-time former fans.
02:15I don't recall M&M ever teaming with team rated RKO ever.
02:20This is an eight man tag team main event.
02:23We're live tonight in Charleston, South Carolina.
02:26And we thank you for inviting us into your home again.
02:37From Cameron, North Carolina.
02:39And combined weight of 461 pounds, Matt and the Intercontinental Champion Jeff the Hardy.
02:52Matt and Jeff done by a lot of names.
02:55They are brothers from Cameron, North Carolina.
02:58Many call them team extreme.
03:01And you saw who came back from commercial break.
03:04Edge got himself intentionally disqualified last week.
03:08Let's say the tag time.
03:10Are you ready?
03:16You think you chose what you want.
03:21You think that you're going to be.
03:25You think you're going to be.
03:29You bow to the maxes.
03:35And introducing the tag team.
03:51And here we go.
03:53This one should be a wild west affair here tonight live here on Monday Night Raw.
03:59It is elevated over the top.
04:02The ring has been cleared of team rated RKO and Eminem.
04:07Look out, look out, look out here.
04:09Easy boy.
04:10Look out.
04:17Look out, look out, look out.
04:18Look out, look out.
04:18Look out, look out.
04:19Look out, look out.
04:19Look out, look out.
04:19And Orton is being battered and beat the hell out of.
04:23And somewhere, the Nature Boy has a smile on his face.
04:30The theme here, overwhelmingly, the theme here is retribution with a capital R for
04:37what team rated RKO did to the legendary and beloved Ric Flair last week here on
04:44Monday Night Raw in Triple H.
04:54And it couldn't happen to a nicer, arrogant individual than Randy Orton.
05:00And our announce table has been a popular destination tonight.
05:03But I wouldn't mind seeing Orton or Edge's head bounced off of it a few more times.
05:08Would you?
05:09Absolutely not.
05:10And an app-edged shot from Shawn Michaels.
05:12Compliments of the Nature Boy Ric Flair.
05:15And a sweet neckbreaker by the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels.
05:19Well, Randy Orton set up for that move a little too soon.
05:22And, well, Michaels read his book.
05:25Randy Orton and Edge, the reigning World Tag Team Champions.
05:30But this match is not about titles.
05:32This match is not about accolades.
05:35It is all about retribution for the cowardly attack.
05:40And look at two of the lights, not moving for the cover, mounting Randy Orton.
05:43And now with that tape right hand, it's like a tight, like a sledgehammer,
05:47hammering down on Orton's face.
05:50Well, you know, you're right, JR.
05:52Ordinarily, this business is about going in the ring, competing,
05:54trying to be the best you can, and trying to win titles.
05:57But sometimes, my goodness, sometimes things get a little personal.
06:01Good grief.
06:03And that's what's happened between DX, Ric Flair, and Orton and Edge.
06:09Nitro turned inside out.
06:11Was he ever.
06:12Matt Hardy now gets the tag in.
06:14And certainly a tremendous matchup just 24 hours ago at ECW's December to dismember
06:21between the Hardys and M&M.
06:24And the reverse elbow by Matt Hardy, looking for the cover.
06:27This is, by the way, ladies and gentlemen, a one ball match to finish here.
06:32Our main event live tonight from Charleston, South Carolina.
06:35And you're watching Monday Night Raw.
06:38Wow.
06:39Hard leg drop by Matt Hardy.
06:41And Matt Hardy again pressing the advantage and got a near fall over Johnny Nitro.
06:46And now Intercontinental Champion.
06:50Jeff Hardy got the tag.
06:54And Jeff Hardy quickly seizing the moment, hooking the leg, and got a near fallout of it.
06:59Nitro in big trouble.
07:01Johnny Nitro in jeopardy or snapmare, and a low drop kick to the back of the head.
07:07Jeff Hardy, a lot of offense.
07:09Unique cover.
07:10Two.
07:11Unique offense, a near fall again, King.
07:18Our fans have a, well, a unique chant going.
07:22It sucks.
07:25Another right hand by Matt Hardy.
07:27Matt and Jeff.
07:28One, two, three.
07:29They're stacking up, going in like cordwood here.
07:32Look out.
07:32Look at this.
07:34The poetry in motion by Jeff Hardy.
07:38And now the Hardys.
07:40Teamwork by the Hardys.
07:41Great teamwork.
07:42Man, this match is on fire.
07:45Can Teamwork Arcadia win in?
07:47Can they survive it?
07:48This match will continue.
07:52We are back live here on Monday Night Raw.
07:55The majestic eight man main event is in progress.
07:59Still being dominated again by DX and the Hardys, at least until that moment.
08:05Team record RKO and Eminem taking on the Hardys and DX in this one fall matchup.
08:11We're live tonight in Charleston, South Carolina, as Joey Mercury hammering away at the reigning
08:17Intercontinental Champion, Jeff Hardy.
08:19Cover!
08:20And Rupert might count a count of two count.
08:23Well, Joey Mercury now coming up with some offense that Eminem and Team Rated RKO had been lacking.
08:31Man, Randy Orton got the tag.
08:33Edge has certainly been laying out of the action here.
08:37Look at Orton.
08:37Look at Orton now.
08:38It's like desperation now.
08:39He realizes that both he and Edge are marked men.
08:44And they're gonna take every opportunity they can.
08:46Look at this.
08:46Look at this.
08:47A blatant cheap shot to get the game around to intervene.
08:51And luckily for Shawn Michaels, that happened.
08:54Referee Mike killed having problems here.
08:56Oh, a breeze shot.
08:57Hard shot to the rival ribs.
09:01The referee didn't see that.
09:03And Nitro with just a vicious shot to the ribs of Jeff Hardy.
09:08And now Hardy hung up on the outside.
09:10There it goes.
09:12Clothesline right off that top turnbuckle.
09:15Please.
09:16God almighty, shut that moment up.
09:18Shrieking.
09:19Dogs are barking.
09:21Here we go.
09:21The cover.
09:22A hook of a leg.
09:25And Mercury with a near fall on Jeff Hardy.
09:29Eight man, two teams of four.
09:32This eight man tag match.
09:34Eminem, a double gut buster here.
09:37Good teamwork by Eminem, former three-time tag champ.
09:44And look at this.
09:45Nitro, that spitting leg drop.
09:47That could do it.
09:48The hook of the far leg.
09:49Cover and a two count.
09:51Says referee Mike Chioda.
09:54Front face lock.
09:55And that restrains Jeff Hardy is the point.
09:58And finally, with Hardy in a weakened position, Edge is happy to get in the ring.
10:03Yeah.
10:04It's the only time you're gonna see Edge in the ring of his own volition, I think.
10:08Look at him now.
10:08Whoa, whoa, whoa, watch out.
10:09Is that a tag?
10:10Jeff Hardy almost.
10:12And look at Edge.
10:13Edge almost blew it for his tag team, preening to the audience.
10:19And now that reverse chin lock restraining Jeff Hardy.
10:22Hardy almost made the tag.
10:24And would have been well served to have done so.
10:28Man, the motivation.
10:31You know, I know the Hardys growing up in North Carolina.
10:33They had great respect for Ric Flair as well, King.
10:36Come on, Hardy.
10:38You know how Shawn Michaels and the gang feel about the nature.
10:42Ric Flair is healing back in Charlotte, North Carolina.
10:45Look at this now.
10:46People drop kick.
10:48Locking or not people drop kick.
10:50Edge.
10:51Cover.
10:52New ball.
10:53Tag quickly made to one half of the world tag team champions.
10:58And the third generation star from St. Louis.
11:01Randy Orton driving that knee into the sternum of Jeff Hardy.
11:06Jeff Hardy needs to make a tag in the worst way when you say big time.
11:10And he's been isolated as Jeff Hardy.
11:12Tag has been made.
11:14Tandem offense could do it here.
11:17This could do it.
11:18And the cover and Matt Hardy saving his brother Jeff Hardy from certain
11:25a certain pin.
11:28Orton got the tag.
11:30And this is that Ronnie Garvin stomp and all around the head, the arms,
11:35the joints.
11:36Just making a 360 around a prone Jeff Hardy.
11:40Two shots right to the face.
11:42Right to the face.
11:43Right.
11:43Look out here.
11:44Big knee drop.
11:45That was across his throat, I think.
11:47The cover.
11:48And that.
11:50Left shoulder just rolled off the canvas as the hand was coming down for three.
11:55And, well, you can see it on the face of Triple H.
12:00Shawn Michaels, how bad they wanna get in that ring.
12:03How bad they wanna get their hands on Orton and Edge.
12:07Randy Orton likes to use that reverse chin lock to slow things down.
12:12It worked for a moment there.
12:13Tag made.
12:14And a quick night throw was in.
12:16He made a tag.
12:18Tags his partner Joey Mercury in.
12:21And him and him.
12:23Well, look out here.
12:24Jeff Hardy.
12:25He almost missed him, but it worked.
12:26Jeff Hardy.
12:27Jeff Hardy slipped trying to twist of fate.
12:31And the tag was made.
12:33Man, Hardy got the tag.
12:35I think Edge got the tag as well.
12:37I think he did.
12:39What a move.
12:40What a double team.
12:43And Shawn Michaels is in.
12:45What an eight man main event.
12:47And we're live in Charleston, South Carolina, here on the WWE flagship.
12:52This is Monday Night Raw.
12:54And all hell is broken loose now in this big eight man tag medal.
12:57And a match for retribution.
12:59For the increase of Ric Flair that he sustained last week at the hands of Team Run
13:05RKO.
13:06Look at Shawn Michaels.
13:07My God, Michaels with a death-defying leap right in front of us.
13:13And Michaels stomping, hammering on the outside.
13:17But Randy Orton, no.
13:19Just gets slammed.
13:20What a spine buster.
13:22How do you like your spine buster?
13:24The double A version.
13:26Wait a minute.
13:27What is this?
13:28That damn Kenny just hit Michaels on a steel chair.
13:32He just came in for the crowd.
13:34Look out.
13:35And Kenny swinging for Triple H's head.
13:41Watch it.
13:42Where did he come from JR?
13:44Hell I don't know.
13:46Kenny must have, he must have come to the crowd.
13:49Shawn Michaels has been, his head was taken off that steel chair.
13:54Jeff Hardy, Jeff Hardy crashing and burning.
13:58And the spear by Edge.
14:00The spear by Edge of Matt Hardy.
14:02Hey, wait.
14:03Damn.
14:04I don't believe this.
14:07Here are your winners, Edge, Randy Orton, and M&M.
14:13This is certainly not the way that DX had invented this turning out, is it?
14:20Absolutely not.
14:22Shawn Michaels got his brains rattled with a steel chair shot from Kenny who wanted to join Team RKO earlier
14:31tonight.
14:32Kenny was told to prove himself.
14:35But you notice when the bell rung.
14:37Look at this now, look at this.
14:38Kenny may pay the price.
14:40Kenny thrown in the ring.
14:42When the bell rung, Orton and Edge went to high ground.
14:46They got as far away from DX as those two could.
14:54There's big time retribution still coming.
14:57And Kenny.
14:58Kenny, you may have gotten yourself in a place you didn't need to be.
15:03Look at that big sweet chin music and now the pedigree.
15:09And DX is trying to perform career assassination on Kenny.
15:17Get ready to be.
15:21Three TV.
15:22We also have this.
15:26We are gonna be 22.
15:28Now let's see.
15:29Bob Ryan Johnson or
