No title belt for Cena because Khali made off with it last week. Cena points out he doesn't have the belt despite being the champion. Cena seems somewhat shook up by the whole state of affairs. "He left and I couldn't stop him". He says he was embarrased and humiliated. He says it's not the first time as half the crowd thinks he sucks every time he comes out here. He talks about the pride and respect he has for the business and the title. "and he just took it". He says he's been in the ring with giants and superheavyweights before. It's not an excuse. Cena says Khali isn't even human. Khali takes his best shots and doesn't move. Cena is quick to point out Khali has never been pinned and has noly been off his feet and all the girls/kids in the audience chant his "Cena". He talks about his friends and advisors telling him that Judgment Day will be Cena's execution. Cena doesn't agree. He says Khali signed up for the fight of his life and Cena wants that title belt back right now. Khali gains a translator on the Titantron and he speaks via the translator to Cena. The translator tells Cena that Khali has accomplished unparalleled carnage over the last three weeks. Khali says he'll become WWE champion this coming Sunday.

They miss with a few clotheslines and we get the old Indy Standoff, sort of. Jeff elbows Murdoch out of the ring and follows with a pescado. Jeff scrapes Murdoch with the mule kick and mounts for the corner punches but the corner dropkick misses. Cade doesn't interfere. JR keeps pointing out how Jeff used illegal punches there.

Swanton bomb gets knees. Murdoch pins him for 2. He thinks that was three. Jeff gets a cheeky roll up for the pin at 3.59. Winner: Jeff Hardy via pinfall. POST MATCH: Murdoch offers a handshake and Jeff takes it. The big question now is whether this is an actual honest to God face turn or whether they're just setting up the inevitable beatdown as soon as they get a re-match for the titles. It might be refreshing if they actually turned them full blown face as that's not what the crowd expects. Of course they're not over so that might not work. The commentators talk about Edge winning the title on Friday and how he'll be on Raw to say goodbye to the brand this evening.

BACKSTAGE The Coach bricks it having to wrestle Lashley this week. Shane McMahon reassures him by saying he has Shane, Vince and Umaga in his corner. Shane builds Coach up and Coach seems happier after hearing the others will be out there. Umaga is all worked up for some reason. Vince has a new doorag that matches his suit. Is that lilac?

Melina was at the announce table and did her split revealing her no butt. We've got pics below. Melina grates at the nerves on commenatary with constant use of the word "eww". Candice gets a cheeky roll up for 2. I like Candice's ring gear. It's basically underwear. Victoria stretches her on the mat but Candice comes back with punches and then the more potent kicks. Go Daddy elbow drop gets 2. Four rotation headscissors from Candice. That needs to be toned down a little. Victoria jacks her up but the whirl is countered into the spin kick for the pin at 2.18. Winner: Candice via pinfall . The spin kick looked better this week. Candice wants the title apparently.

The new World champion is in the house to say goodbye to his Raw fans and gets a ton of pyro to celebrate his title win. The WWE seem to have figured out that if they leave the entrance music playing for ages the crowd don't get bored and it kills time. Edge talks about having the greatest week of any wrestler in the history of the industry. Well he WAS Wrestler of the Week. Edge says he'd already beaten John Cena so he wanted to do something more memorable by cashing it in on the Undertaker. That was on Smackdown. Edge talks about how he thought about leaving and having one last great match on Raw. He says the crowd don't deserve it anyway and he has a title match with Dave Batista at Judgment Day. He says he did in three seconds what Dave couldn't get done in three months and beat Taker. Edge decides he's just going to leave as the champ. Keep it simple. He's interupted by Shawn Michaels. He's complete with baseball cap to cover baldness/thinning. Shawn tells him to just leave because the crowd are sick of him, which somehow provokes Edge into wanting a match against Shawn tonight to see him off.

BACKSTAGE Todd Grisham has Bob Lashley for a promo. Before he starts talking Shane McMahon strolls in to mess with his head. He's not allowed to touch Shane though. Shane takes advantage of the situation to mess with him some more and wish him well against the Coach tonight.

Bobby Lashley vs Jonathan Coachman w/Vince McMahon/Shane McMahon/Umaga: Vince dances with the ECW title. Somehow winning the ECW title along with losing his hair has made him act like he's in a hip hop video. Coach looks scared. He slaps Lashley, who slaps back. Coach looks scared. Crossfaces!

BACKSTAGE Shawn Michaels warms up and gets interupted by Randy Orton who wishes him good luck. HBK tells him he's a little busy. Orton says he can beat Shawn. HBK retorts by saying he's not doing anything on Sunday. Looks like the match is added to Judgment Day.

Edge vs Shawn Michaels: Well the promo made no sense to set this up but here's Edge's last match as part of the full time Raw brand. His prestigious world title is not on the line. We kick this off with 12 minutes left in the hour. Lawler reminds us that HBK had a concussion from the Khali match. We take the Michaels-Cena approach with Shawn controlling the early going with a side headlock. Edge doesn't offer a clean break and cheap shots Shawn over the ref. And hey, it seems as if cheating is now cause for heat. Or maybe just cheating when it's done by a heel. Shawn comes back with a swinging neckbreaker. Edge comes back with some jabs. Shawn looks troubled by the head shots. Edge gets sidestepped on a charge though and flies outside. Shawn follows with a Thesz press off the apron before the last commercial break. There's something seriously wrong with the pacing here and the crowd are out of it. We return with Shawn lying face down on the mat. He's not moving. Edge kicks at his head. They seem to have regained their heat. A replay shows Shawn get hung up on the ropes. Edge with a headbutt and Shawn looks confused as to what is happening. The ref is ordering Edge to "stay off his head". Edge gives up on the abuse and just pins for 2. Edge cranks at a cravat. The WWE still seeming to refuse to name the hold. JR calls it a "vice". Edge kicks Shawn square in the face for 2. Shawn is selling this beating with extreme prejudice. Edge with a neckbreaker for 2. An extended chinlock leaves Shawn struggling. His hand drops twice but then he works at escaping. Edge punches him in the head to knock HBK back down. It seems every head shot leaves Shawn lying for ages. Edge heads up top but Shawn crotches him. Edge headbutts him off. Diving crossbody misses though with Shawn ducking under it. Shawn comes back with his patented chops. He's become heavily reliant on them when striking. Shawn with a flying forearm and he n*ps up. Edge is slammed and Shawn battles his way up top for the Savage Elbow. Shawn is struggling with his balance but now the momentum is on his side. The band is warming up. Edge gets clipped by Sweet Chin Music and Shawn gets the pin at 16.07. Winner: Shawn Michaels via pinfall. Well that was a very odd match. The psychology seemed really wacky what with Shawn's bizarre "concussion" selling. Somehow a tiny head shot leaves him sprawled by when he goes up top for the elbow drop he's fine. Shawn is still celebrating when Randy Orton runs out here to give him a further beating ahead of their match on Sunday.

 

RAW Results for 5/21/07:

They recapped the handicap match from Judgment Day, which brought Bobby Lashley to the ring. He challenged Vince McMahon to a title match since he needs to beat Vince to regain the title. This brought out Vince, Shane and Umaga. Vince declined since Lashley already wasted his obligatory rematch. McMahon said he will defend his title at One Night Stand, where every match will be contested under Extreme Rules, in a Street Fight against an ECW Original, Blue Meanie. Lashley wanted that match instead, so Shane accepted the challenge for Vince, listing all the wrestlers Vince has defeated in a street fight - Steve Austin, Undertaker, Triple H, Ken Shamrock, as well as Shane and Stephanie McMahon. Vince said Lashley would get his match only if Lashley could successful run the gauntlet tonight.

Ric Flair vs. Carlito: They exchanged rest holds until Flair came back with millions of chops. Carlito tried the handspring elbow but Flair ducked and hit a chop block. Carlito then clotheslined Flair out of the ring after poking him in the eye. They exchanged fists/chops on the outside and were counted out before Flair could get in the ring.

The Great Khali and his translator made their way to the ring. The translator said Khali should be the WWE Champion and Khali tapping out shouldn't count because his foot was under the bottom rope. He said Khali was screwed by the referee, the fans and by John Cena. They called Cena a coward, which brought out the champ. Cena said he made Khali tap-out. He then admitted he was scared of Khali before they fought, which is an odd thing to admit, but then Cena said he could beat Khali anywhere, anytime. Cena attacked Khali, so Khali easily disposed of him quickly with an overhand chop and chokebomb.

Bobby Lashley vs. Viscera: Considering his past, Viscera shouldn't pose much of a threat to Lashley in anyone's eyes. That wasn't the story in this match though. Lashley was able to show off his athleticism by leaping over Viscera, as well as giving him a body slam, which received a big pop. Viscera kicked out anyway, and hit a swinging side slam for a near fall and a rolling heel kick. Lashley avoided an avalanche and hit a spear for the win.

Umaga then pushed the time keeper aside and cracked Lashley over the head with a steel chair for the DQ.

Lashley powered out again and came back with fists. He tried a power slam but his back gave way. Shane came off the top rope but Lashley hit a spear in mid-air for the win. Cool finish.

RAW Preview for 5/28/07 from WWE.com:

Things are likely to get extreme on Raw as the flagship sails into Toronto, its final destination before One Night Stand.

Last week, ECW World Champion Mr. McMahon deviously tried to use his powers to stop Bobby Lashley from getting another rematch for the gold. However, Lashley successfully completed McMahon’s four-man gauntlet, earning the right to face the ECW World Champion in a Street Fight at One Night Stand. On the final Raw before the extreme spectacular, will the Chairman and his faithful associates have something up their sleeve for the hard-hitting challenger?

Also last week, The Great Khali complained of being screwed at Judgment Day, confirming that his foot was under the rope as he tapped out to John Cena’s STFU. Through an interpreter, Khali made another challenge to The Champ, who accepted a Falls Count Anywhere Match for the gold at One Night Stand. However, when attempting to get a leg up on the giant, Cena fell victim to the massive Khali for the fourth time in four weeks. Can Cena rebound and once again find a way to subdue his giant adversary?

Cade & Murdoch also continued down a new path last week. With The Hardys under attack by The World's Greatest Tag Team, Kenny Dykstra & Johnny Nitro, Cade & Murdoch rushed to the ring to help the World Tag Team Champions just one night after they challenged them for the gold. Once again, the Southerners shook hands with the champions, taking another step down the path of sportsmanship. Have Cade & Murdoch aligned themselves on the "good side" once and for all?

Don’t miss all the action on Raw, Monday night at 9pm et, 8pm ct on USA Network.

Todd Grisham interviewed John Cena. Cena said he would do the impossible at One Night Stand. I thought he already did that at Judgment Day. Somehow, Cena thinks because its Falls Count Anywhere that submissions don't count, so the only way he can win is if he hits the FU. Cena basically guarantees this will happen.

Maria interviewed Santino Marella, who gets a nice pop from the crowd. Maria asks him what he thinks of getting drafted to another brand.

Backstage, Umaga and Khali argued. Obviously, you couldn't understand either one of them. Crowd enjoyed it. Shane came in and called them the "Worst prom couple ever", which basically killed the segment.

After they came back from commercial, Maria was in the ring hosting the kiss cam. They came into it half-way through. The real story here is what happened during the commercial break. They showed a pair of women, who kissed. But a guy reached over and pulled down the shirt of one of the girls, exposing her chest to everyone.

Chris Masters interrupted the Kiss Cam. He called out Santino Marella to do a Masterlock challenge. After a delay, he looked over at Maria, so Marella ran out. Santino was all over Masters at first, but Masters countered with a shoulder breaker. He applied the Masterlock and Marella couldn't escape.

The Great Khali, Umaga and Shane McMahon beat John Cena and Bobby Lashley. The story again was Cena getting booed heavily throughout the match.

They did a cool double team spot where Dykstra used a sling shot to send JTG into a Nitro elbow. Dykstra then draped JTG over his knees and Nitro came over the ropes with an elbow drop. JTG made the tag to Shad, who gave a really high back body drop to Dykstra. He gave Nitro a running forearm and went for the cover, but Dykstra broke up the pin. Shad gorilla pressed Candice onto Melina, and Cryme Tyme hit the G9 on Nitro for the pin.

Santino Marella defeated Chris Masters. This match was set up when Maria and Santino were admiring Santino’s title backstage. Vince ordered Santino to the ring for a title match and slapped him. Santino missed a drop kick, and Masters took over with snake eyes and a leg drop. Santino retaliated with chops and forearms. Masters gave him the stun gun and went for the Masterlock, but Santino slipped out. Santino used la magistral shortly thereafter for the pin. This was a sloppy match with a dead crowd.

Backstage, Matt and Jeff Hardy were talking about how beat up they felt. Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch congratulated them on retaining the titles and asked for a title shot when they are healed. Vince came in and made the match for later in the evening. Vince then saw Ric Flair and Torrie Wilson. Vince said he hates men hanging out with women half their age. Torrie noted the time Linda caught Vince and Torrie with Vince’s pants down to his ankles. Vince said, 'You’ll be taking on Carlito.' Flair told Vince to bring Carlito on, but Vince said that he meant Torrie. Vince then made Flair vs. Orton.

Randy Orton beat Ric Flair. Orton hit a power slam and went for the RKO, but Flair escaped. Flair applied the figure four, but Orton got out. Orton came back with a back breaker, Garvin stomp, knee drop, and repeated punches in the corner. Orton hit a clothesline on the floor, and gave Flair a knee to the head. The referee checked on Flair, but allowed the contest to continue. Flair got back up, but Orton hit the RKO for the pin.

Carlito pinned Torrie Wilson. Carlito told Torrie to leave and get counted out. He said he wouldn’t do anything to her. The referee rang the bell, and Torrie turned and started to leave. Of course, Carlito grabbed her from behind and gave her the back cracker for the pin.

Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch won the tag titles from Matt and Jeff Hardy. They did mostly clean mat wrestling early. Matt and Jeff took over on the rednecks, and Jeff gave Murdoch a pescado. Jeff sold his knee, and tagged Matt. Cade and Murdoch worked over Matt’s back briefly. Matt tagged Jeff, but Jeff was crotched on the top rope. Matt hit a side effect on Cade, and Jeff recovered to go for the swanton. Jeff missed, and Cade covered him for the pin. Jeff got his foot on the ropes, but Murdoch pushed it off. Cade and Murdoch celebrated after the match. Matt started to ask about the foot on the ropes, when Cade and Murdoch jumped the Hardyz. They then hit the Hardyz with the title belts.

Vince backstage told Coach that he was getting an ominous feeling. Coach went out and said that next week will be Mr. McMahon Appreciation Night.

John Cena retained his title in a triple threat match over Great Khali and Umaga. Khali gave Cena a big boot and sent him into the steps. Umaga went to throw the steps at Cena, but hit Khali instead. Umaga gave Cena a clothesline, but missed a sit down splash. Cena attempted a body slam but couldn’t get Umaga up. Khali returned to the ring and squared off with Umaga. They traded punches, until Khali gave him a kick. Khali then used a leg drop on Cena. Umaga attacked Khali, and Khali started to choke Umaga. Umaga gave Khali the Samoan spike. Umaga was knocked out of the ring and Cena gave Khali the FU for the pin.

 

RAW Preview for 6/11/07 from WWE.com:

It's a Raw so big, it will start one hour early at 8pm et, 7pm ct on the USA Network.

Monday night, on a special three-hour edition of Raw, the entire WWE roster will converge in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., for the fourth-ever WWE Draft.

In professional sports, draft day is always special for a young athlete. No one knows where they will be going as they get their official start in the professional ranks.

On Monday, the Superstars of WWE will all be nervous for a very similar reason. Until their name is (or isn't) called, none of the Superstars will know if the brand they currently call home will still be theirs come Tuesday morning. Whose names will be called at the podium to bring their talent to a new brand?

The three-hour special edition of Raw will be made even more special, as it will also be Mr. McMahon Appreciation Night, ordered by the WWE Chairman of the Board himself.

What festivities will take place to honor the former ECW World Champion? And will McMahon’s mental state be more stable than it was last week, as he wreaked havoc in the locker room as a maniacal matchmaker?

Monday will also be uncertain for the new World Tag Team Champions, Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch, who beat a weakened Matt & Jeff Hardy for their titles last week. Will the draft split the pair just as they reach the pinnacle of their profession?

Don’t miss all the action on the special three-hour WWE Draft edition of Raw, Monday night at a special time, 8pm et, 7pm ct on the USA Network.
