WWE RAW Opener:

RAW opened up with footage from last week of D-Generation X terrorizing the McMahon’s. We then go live to the arena as Shane McMahon’s music is playing and he makes his way down the ramp, sans Vince. Shane took the mic and said that DX’s sophomoric pranks have hit a new low. They disgraced his airplane and headquarters, and his limousine. Shane said they have gone too far and endangered their lives last week. Shane said they did a whole lot more than rip out the back end of the limousine; they ripped out a piece of his heart. They tried to celebrate Vince’s 61st birthday last Thursday, but all he could do was look at the ceiling and say “DX, DX, DX…” Shane said Vince is chilling out tonight, so Shane is running things, and his first order of business is for the first time on RAW, in tag team action, D-Generation X will compete in this very ring against…but that’s on a need to know basis, but it’s sweet. By the end of the night they will know who their opponents are tonight, and what they will face three weeks from now at Unforgiven. Shane said that D-Generation X will be put straight to hell. With that, the music of WWE Champion Edge hit in the arena as he made his way to the ring with the Women’s Champion, Lita. Edge got on the mic and he said if Shane’s running the show, he needs to do something. Edge said to roll the footage, and we see Edge being thrown into Long Island Sound by John Cena last week. Edge said he is the WWE Champion and you do not put your hands on the WWE Champion and throw him into that cesspool. Edge asks Shane to fire John Cena…he wants him out of his life. The music of John Cena then hit as he made his way to the ring. Cena got on the mic and says Edge doesn’t want him to take a walk right now. Every week he comes out here with a story about the two of them that ends in a happy ending for the R Rated Superstar, but if he leaves now then all the people will remember is Cena throwing him into the Long Island Sound. Cena said Shane seems a little stressed…if he’s got 10 bucks, think of the possibilities (dig at Lita). Cena said that he messes with Edge’s head and this is why he wants him gone. Cena said he has a three year contract to go to Smackdown, and he has no problem signing it, but he needs one more match from Edge. If Edge beats him, he signs on the dotted line and Edge can own Monday night’s. Cena handed Shane the contract and asked Edge what he thinks. Edge took the contract and takes a look. Cena said he wants him gone, there’s his ticket out. Edge said he’ll do it with two conditions. First off, he names where the match takes place, and it sure as hell won’t be in this dumb, and number two, he names what kind of match it is. Cena said deal. Shane stops Cena as he is leaving the ring. Shane said people need to learn respect around here, he didn’t dismiss Cena. Shane said Cena has a match here tonight, and since he’s out here let’s introduce his opponent right now...Chris Masters!

The start:

Back from commercial and we are underway with Cena nailing a suplex on Masters for two. Cena sent Masters to the corner and then hit the fisherman suplex for two. Master’s comes back with feet in the corner and then a clothesline. Masters got Cena on the apron and gave him an elbow to the face, and then choked him over the bottom rope. Masters hit some jabs as the fans chanted for Cena. Cena nailed right hands but then ran into a powerslam for a two count.

The Finish:

Masers locked in a camel clutch but Cena fought out and hit the flying shoulder. Cena nailed the spinning powerbomb and then went for the five knuckle shuffle, and nailed it. Cena went for the FU but Masters blocked and hit a reverse DDT. Masters called for the Master Lock and went for it but Cena reversed into the STFU. Edge then hit the ring with a steel chair and nailed Cena in the back.

The Aftermath:

Edge nailed Cena with the chair in the back again and then left the ring. Edge went under the ring and pulled out a ladder. Edge got the ladder into the ring and rammed it into the face of Cena. Edge went out of the ring again, and teased leaving, but went back under the ring and pulled out a table. Edge set the table up in the corner and tossed Cena through it. Edge grabbed his belt and took a mic. Edge said that he has good news. He’s decided where the match will take place…it’s going to be Unforgiven in his hometown of Toronto, Canada, and he’s decided what match it will be…a match Cena has never had and a match that Edge has never lost…Tables, Ladders and Chairs.

Backstage:

Shane is backstage with Charlie Haas and Viscera, and Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch and they are arguing about who should face DX tonight. Shane said there is already a plan in place. Vince is on the phone, and Shane asks who he’s doing. We go to split screen with Vince in a hotel room. He said he had guests over earlier and has some wine action going on and a great big steak on the way in a minute. Vince asks Shane who’s going to be facing DX. The door bell rings at Vince’s suite, and then a rooster noise. Vince asks Shane what the sound is. Vince gets worried and turns around slowly. There’s two roosters’ in a cage in Vince’s room and Vince looks very worried, as DX knows where he is.

Backstage:

Carlito and Trish Stratus are shown backstage and Carlito said he wants to talk to her privately. Carlito asks Trish when she was planning on telling him. Carlito said it says on WWE.com that Lita says Trish is retiring after Unforgiven. Trish asked how she even knew that. Trish said this has beena decision she’s had to make and she didn’t want people finding out like this. She called Lita a nosey bitch and Carlito said it’s cool. Carlito said he’ll give her the proper goodbye, and then makes out with her. Randy Orton then nails Carlito from behind out of nowhere, and squashes Trish in the process. Orton leaves Trish and Carlito lying.

Torrie Wilson made her way out to the ring with Chloe, followed by Candice. The first person to get the paddle gets to spank their opponent.

The match:

Torrie went for the paddle right away but Candice pulled her down. Candice then went for it but Torrie pulled her back down. They both took turns going for the pole and then Torrie got Candice on her shoulders, but Candice locked in the over the ropes choke. Candice kicked Torrie off the top rope and then took off her schoolgirl top. Torrie sent Candice to the corner and hit a running clothesline. Torrie took off her skirt and did the tush push. Candice bit Torrie and then went to the top and pulled off the paddle.

The Aftermath:

Torrie bent over and then Candice went to spank her but stopped. Candice then gave Torrie the paddle and Candice wanted to be spanked. Torrie spanked Candice. Candice then spanked Torrie some.

This Week in Wrestling History:

We go back to August 29, 1992 at SummerSlam in England, with British Bulldog defeating Bret Hart for the Intercontinental Title.

Randy Orton made his way to the ring for this number one contender match for the Intercontinental Title against Jeff Hardy.

The start:

Orton hammered away at Hardy and then went to work on him in the corner. Hardy came back with a clothesline and then hit some right hands. Hardy hit a double boot to the chest and then clotheslined Orton to the outside. Hardy hit a springboard whisper in the wind from the apron to the floor on Orton as we go to commercial.

Mid-match notes:

Back on RAW and Orton is in control with a rear naked choke on Hardy in the middle of the ring. During the break, Orton nailed a big time clothesline on Hardy. Hardy fights out of the choke and nails his spinning back kick to send Orton to the outside. Hardy nailed a suicide dive through the ropes onto Orton, and it seems Hardy is more hurt than Orton. Orton slammed Hardy into the apron and then sent him back into the ring and covered for two.

Orton hit a knee to the back of the head and then hit a snapmare and went back to the rear naked choke. Hardy fought out and hit a side suplex. Hardy hit some right hands, and then a running clothesline. Orton missed a dropkick and then Hardy hit a dropkick to the abdomen. Hardy went to the middle rope and came off with a dropkick for two.

The Finish:

Hardy went for the whisper in the wing but Orton countered with a mid air dropkick for another near fall. Hardy came back again with a neckbreaker and then headed up top for the Swanton but Orton rolled to the outside. Carlito then hit the ring and pushed Orton back into the ring and then Hardy distracted the referee while Carlito spat apple into Orton’s eye. Hardy hit the twist of fate and then went up and nailed the Swanton for the win.

The Aftermath:

Orton is pissed at Carlito as Jeff Hardy celebrates his huge victory and he is now the number one contender for the Intercontinental Title.

Backstage:

DX are shown backstage looking at the “Vince Likes Cock” tee shirt. Security then slams through the door with Shane McMahon. Shane said he’s going to enjoy their match later on, and he’s ordering them that the pranks stop. Triple H said the rooster thing tonight was from the heart, no fooling around anymore. They said Vince seemed stressed out and what better way to relieve the stress than choking the chicken. Shane said they need to grow up…says the man whose 61 year old father makes grown men kiss his own, who made his daughter have an I Quit match a week before her wedding. DX then pulled out the new McMahon DVD and plugged it. They said if Shane’s not down with that, they got two words for him.

The Marine:

WE take a look at footage from the Marine, starring John Cena, with comments from the man himself and his co-stars, Kelly Carlson and the guy from Terminator.

The Highlanders make their way to the arena and join Ross and Lawler on commentary. Hacksaw Jim Duggan and Eugene then make their way to the ring for a shot at the World Tag Team Titles against the Spirit Squad.

The start:

Eugene and Mikey started out with Eugene taking control and tossing Mikey to the outside. Eugene hit a baseball slide sending the Spirit Squad onto the announce table. We then get a shoving match between the Squad and the Highlanders. The referee ejects Johnny and Nicky from ringside. The referee also ejects the Highlanders as well. Back in the ring and Mikey tags in Kenny and they hit a double suplex on Eugene. Mitch is still at ringside, for the record. Kenny stomped at Eugene and then tagged Mikey back in who covered for two.

The Finish:

Mikey worked Eugene over in the corner, and then Kenny exposed the buckle and Mikey went to send Eugene into it, but Eugene stopped and hit an elbow on Mikey. Duggan tagged in who gave slams to both members of the Squad. Duggan went for the three point stance but Mikey was pushed out of the way by Kenny and Duggan hit the exposed buckle and Mikey covered for the win.

The Aftermath:

The music of Umaga hit in the arena as he and Armando Alejandro Estrada made their way to the ring. Umaga hammered away at Eugene and gave him a sick STO. Umaga then gave Duggan the Samoan Spike in the corner, followed by the running neck snap in the corner on Eugene. Umaga then gave Eugene the Samoan Spike for good measure. Armando took the mic and said that Kane decided to stick his nose in their business at SummerSlam. Armando said that Kane got put out of commission by the only monster in WWE, and his name is the undefeated Samoan Bulldozer, Umaga.

In the arena:

Melina and Intercontinental Champion Johnny Nitro made their way down to the ring, and there’s a microphone set up for this press conference. Nitro said that this conference has been called so Melina can address the fans after last week. Nitro said what did you expect her to do. He said he is Johnny Nitro, the Intercontinental Champion, and he is everything that you people…and Mick Foley are not. Nitro said to admit it; they all wish they could be Nitro for just one night. He goes home, gets freaky with Melina and cuddles with his Intercontinental Title, and that killed Mick Foley, and that killed Mick Foley because he couldn’t do what he did every night. For Mick Foley and everyone else, fantasizing and dreaming are the closest they will get to doing this…Nitro then makes out with Melina. Melina then took over and said she would like to add that Mick Foley isn’t so much a quitter, he’s more an ass kisser. He kissed McMahon’s ass, the people’s ass and her ass. Foley claimed he wanted to be her friend, but she knows better. She called Foley a disgusting freak and he fell for her, and that’s not her fault. Melina said Foley can step in line because every man in this arena and every man around the world all fall for her. She would never take a person who looks like Foley seriously. She would like to make the statement that she never let Mick Foley touch her. She said Foley developed a school boy crush and embarrassed himself over her. Melina said she would never associate herself with regular people like them or Mick Foley. She is out of Foley’s league and there’s no way in hell that she would leave Nitro for a one eared smelly muppet like Foley. She not only fired Foley, but she put him out of his misery. Nitro said for Foley to enjoy his 19th retirement and to sit down and write his little blog as his career goes places that Foley’s never did go, and he does thing that Foley never could do. In closing, he would like to state something that Foley knows, and something everyone else knows…Melina and him are the hottest things on RAW and Nitro is the future of sports entertainment.

Kurt Angle Released:

Ross and Lawler talked about Kurt Angle getting released from World Wrestling Entertainment on Friday, and to check out WWE.com for comments from the RAW superstars on his release. Ross and Lawler wished Angle the best.

Mickie hit an elbow in the corner and then went for the Mickanrana, but Lita countered into a rollup and grabbed the ropes for the win.

The Aftermath:

Lita celebrated her victory as she continues her third Women’s Title reign.

The music of DX hit in the arena as Shawn Michaels and Triple H made their way to the ring, and we have yet to find out who their opponents will be tonight. Shane McMahon then made his way to the stage. He said he will remember their opponents from SummerSlam…Smackdown’s United States Champion Finlay, William Regal and Mr. Kennedy.

The start:

Back on RAW and we are underway with Regal in control of Michaels. Regal nailed a knee drop and then locked in an arm hold. Michaels fought out but then Finlay tripped him from the outside and pulled him out and gave him a clothesline.

Triple H hit the spinebuster on Finlay and then went for the Pedigree on Regal but Kennedy came in and clotheslined Triple H. Kennedy came off the top with the Senton Bomb but Triple H moved. Kennedy was sent to the outside and then Finlay held Triple H for Regal to hit him with a chair, but Triple H moved and Regal nailed Finlay. Triple H then nailed the Pedigree on Regal for the win.

The Aftermath:

Shane McMahon came back to the stage and said he has two more words for DX…Big Show. The Big Show was then led to the ring by Shane McMahon. DX attacked Big Show as he entered the ring. They both charged at him but he grabbed them by the throat. DX gave Big Show a low blow. Kennedy is back up and crotched Michaels in the corner and Finlay is back in and gave Triple H a shot with the shillelagh. Big Show gave Triple H the chokeslam and then gave Michaels the cobra clutch backbreaker. Mr. McMahon’s music hit and he made his way to the ring looking pissed, with a lead pipe in his hand.
