RAW Results for 7/10:

John Cena beat Shelton Benjamin to start the show. Edge came out with the title, and unveiled an Edge announce table, which was a cool touch. He did commentary for the match. Cena went for the FU early, but Benjamin escaped and smacked him. Benjamin kicked Cena in the head, gave him a back breaker, a snap suplex and applied the sleeper. Cena got out with the electric chair. He went to the top but was distracted by Edge and knocked to the floor. Benjamin applied a lengthy chin lock, until Cena came back with clotheslines and the five knuckle shuffle. He went for the FU, but Benjamin landed on his feet and hit the Samoan drop for a near fall. Benjamin went for the Stinger Splash but missed, and Cena hit the FU. He applied the STFU for the tap. He followed that by jumping Edge at the announce table, but Lita helped Edge fight back. Edge hit the Edgecution and spear.

Edge said that he would go back to his hotel room with Lita to watch the rest of the show. They announced Hulk Hogan will be at Saturday Nights Main Event. They then aired a lengthy recap of last weeks DX antics. Eugene was laughing watching on the screen, until Vince and Shane McMahon arrived. Vince was angry at Eugene, so he announced Eugene would face Vince and Shane in a match later.

Melina beat Trish Stratus. Trish dropped Melina on her face, kicked Trish, and hit a forearm. Melina retaliated with a kick and went to Trishs eyes. She went under the ring and jumped Trish from behind. She rammed Trish into the apron and hit a drop kick from behind. Trish responded with a suplex and the Stratusphere.

The Highlanders hit the Scot Drop and scored the pin while Striker stood on the apron disgusted with Conway.

Ric Flair came out and said that in Charlotte he beat Mick Foley two straight, proving hes better than Foley and Foley always takes the easy way out. Foley appeared on the screen and cut a really compelling promo. As to the contention that Foley always takes the easy way out, he noted that Flair put together a half-hearted ghostwritten book while he wrote his book by hand. He added that Flair was in charge when he had his ear ripped off, and he kept working. He said that the guy accusing him of not being able to wrestle mainly gets by on low blows these days. Foley said that nobody has ever made Flair bleed as badly as he did, and after what he did at Vengeance, Flair no longer matters to him. Thus, there will be no rematch, and Flair is out of Foleys life.

Flair challenged Foley to a hardcore match, but Paul Heyman came out and introduced the Big Show. Show challenged Flair to an ECW title match tomorrow. Flair accepted, and Show gave him a back breaker. Yes, thats right. Your ECW main event this week is Ric Flair vs. Big Show.

Vince and Shane McMahon backstage greeted Eugene. Eugene apologized for offending them. Vince and Shane said they werent mad or offended. They presented a DX shirt to Eugene as a gift, but then poured green paint on him. They jumped Eugene, rammed into the wall, and stuck his head in the toilet. Eugene did a really good job here making you feel sorry for him. Candice is coming to ECW tomorrow to dance with Kelly.

Viscera and Charlie Haas went to a no contest. Viscera slapped and stood on Haas. Haas came back with punches and clotheslines, and a drop kick off the top. Both were fighting for Lillian, and she didnt know what to make of this. After Viscera hit a swinging tree slam and missed an avalanche, Lillian got on the microphone and yelled at them to stop. She said they didnt have to do this, and only wanted to be friends with both. They were upset. Haas went to Visceras eyes, and Viscera accidentally gave Lillian the Samoan drop.

The diva search is back, and just when you thought it couldnt get any worse, Miz is now the host. Miz is not only more obnoxious than a trained monkey, but also dumber. He completely lost his train of thought about 15 seconds into a 25 second speech and started stammering. He introduced the divas, and they each got to speak. Many were booed.

Hacksaw Jim Duggan backstage confronted Shane McMahon, angry at Shane for picking on Eugene. He challenged Eugene, but Vince hit Duggan from behind with a chair, and Shane gave him another hard chair shot. Randy Orton then defeated Val Venis. Orton said he would introduce himself to Hulk Hogan on Saturday, and won quickly with the RKO.

After all this build for Edge and Lita going to their hotel, we finally got the payoff. Edge ordered room service and wanted champagne. Instead, he got John Cena, who jumped him in the hotel room and destroyed Edge. Cena hit Edge with the title belt and left.

Eugene beat the McMahons. The Spirit Squad came to ringside as Shane beat up the green Eugene. Eugene hulked up and made a comeback, but the Squad grabbed his foot when he bounced off the ropes for the leg drop. The Squad gave Eugene the High Spirits twice.

Saturday Night's Main Event fallout
July 17, 2006

Last week on RAW, John Cena showed WWE Champion Edge that hes coming for blood at Saturday Nights Main Event. Will Cena repeat what he did at the Royal Rumble when he beat Edge for the WWE gold, or has the Rated R Superstar learned his lesson on how to successfully defend his Championship against Cena? Which Superstar will be wearing the WWE Championship on RAW?

Moving from Champions to the Chairman, can Mr. McMahon finally get one over on D-Generation X? The last few weeks on RAW, the Chairman has been the butt DXs pranks, and last week, after inviting Triple H and HBK to the Tyson Events Center, trying to lure them into a trap that would allow all five members of the Spirit Squad along with his son Shane to get the jump on them, he was again played like a fool. Will Mr. McMahon be able to devise a plan to get retribution on his two rivals? Will the Spirit Squad use the numbers to their advantage to overcome DX at Saturday Nights Main Event in the Elimination Match?

Now that the 2006 $250,000 Diva Search Contest has officially gotten underway, which one of the eight finalists will be voted out of the competition? Who made the cut, and who will be sent packing? The first contestant to depart the Diva Search will be announced live on RAW.

Plus, Lilian had to be taken out by a stretcher out of the arena on RAW after the 485-pound Viscera. Will Lilian be able to recover and continue her post as RAWs ring announcer, or will the injuries she suffered leave her on the sidelines? Do Viscera and Charlie Haas have an explanation for their lack of concern for the woman theyve been fighting over?

There will be plenty to sort out after Saturday Nights Main Event, and Monday Night RAW, live from the AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas at 9pm et, 8pm ct on USA, is where to find all the answers.

July 31, 2006

What did Mr. McMahon say to his Executive Assistant Jonathan Coachman on the phone last week on RAW? While we know his plan was to have Shawn Michaels face Coachman in a singles match, what else did he have planned?

RAW Results for 7/31:

Shane McMahon danced onto the stage to his music, then a proud looking new grandpa Vince McMahon walked out. Is Shane McMahon wondering why the birth of his children was hardly as big of a deal as Stephanie? Vince reacted to the hostile crowd by saying nothing could ruin his mood because his baby girl, Stephanie, had a baby girl of her own. He noted to the fans that the baby girl is already worth more than anyone in the arena. Shane added: "Combined. And far more intelligent." As Vince talked, the opening note of DX's theme song played loudly a couple of times, interrupting his train of thought. Vince announced that they'd be facing DX at Summerslam. DX's music eventually played outright and Shawn Michaels and Triple H.

Michaels congratulated Vince in Hebrew. Hunter said they aren't Jewish. Michaels said they have a lot to celebrate, including a match against Vince & Shane at Summerslam. Michaels went on to hint around about Hunter's involvement in the new grandchild's birth, saying he was in the hospital room last week, and he obtained the McMahon family photo album. They showed a photo of Vince's head on a baby's body. They made fun of how old the photo is. Then they showed a baby picture of Shane's head with a silver spoon in his mouth, proving he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Then they showed a picture of Steph's new baby, and it was Triple H's head on a baby with DX shirt. Shawn said, "She looks familiar, but I just can't put my finger on it." Shane proudly shot back a one-liner, saying they're the babies, so at Summerslam, they'd be changing DX's diapers. Vince reacted like a swallowed cough syrup. Hunter mocked his one-liner. They argued over whose music the truck should play, and eventually the director hit DX's music.

The Miz backstage introduced the first in a series of segments throughout the night where Diva Contestants say who they'd send home if they could. Jen picked J.T. because "a real diva doesn't copy anybody at all and has her own ideas."

Johnny Nitro (w/Melina) vs. Shelton Benjamin vs. Carlito -- IC Title match - Ross said the rumor is Carlito and Trish are an item, and if he won the IC Title tonight, there'd be quite a party. Ross against called Shelton the "Terrell Owens of the WWE." Carlito jumped Nitro before the bell, then Shelton flip dove onto both of them at ringside. The bell rang to start the match, Shelton had Nitro in a chinlock. Regarding Carlito's haircut, Lawler said, "I didn't know Supercuts had a drive-thru window." When Shelton had Carlito covered, Melina put Carlito's leg on the bottom rope. Shelton yelled at her. Nitro then rolled up Carlito from behind, yanked on the tights, and won the match. WINNER: Nitro in 6:00.

Layla said she'd like to see Milena voted off because she can talk the talk, but can't walk the walk. That should be on the list of phrases nobody can say on a wrestling show.

Randy Orton walked to the ring. He said at Summerslam, he is going to take the legend of Hulk Hogan and kill it. He said then he would be bombarded with book offers, movie deals, and TV show offers. He said he already has a TV deal. He introduced his cast - Hulk's son Nick, daughter Brooke, wife Linda, and a fake Hulk. Orton stared at his watch as they waved to the crowd. He asked Nick what he wants to be when he grows up. He said he wants to be a pro wrestler just like his dad. He said to do that, he'll have to lose the hair on top of his head and get used to this. He kicked him in the gut and tossed him out of the ring. He called Hulk a beached walrus. The Hulk impersonator cut a Hulk-like cliched promo. Orton said in three weeks his Hall of Fame legendary career would be over. He said there's nothing he or his family or the fans can do about it. Then he kissed Brooke and gave the fake Hulk an RKO. Ross said the symbolism of that was perverse and uncomfortable. Ross said there wouldn't be a Hogan stand-in at Summerslam.

Backstage, Armado Alejandro Estrada walked in on Vince and Shane chatting. He thanked them for giving his man Umaga a match against Michaels. He gave him a cigar as a gift for being a new grandfather. Shane said since he doesn't smoke them anymore, he'd take it.

Erica said she'd vote off Rebecca since she already got another contract with another company and couldn't give 100 percent to WWE if she won.

Trish Strattus & Candace Michelle vs Victoria & Mickey James - Torrie Wilson was special referee. "Maybe we should call this match Enhancement in Paradise," said Ross after commenting on the women wrestlers filling their tops. When Lawler said the cover of Field & Stream turns him on, Ross sarcastically responded, "Ladies and gentleman, there's nothing like a large mouthed bass to turn me on." Ross said, "This will be the most TiVo's match of the year by WNBA fans and Rosie O'Donnell, not that there's anything wrong with that." At 2:00 Trish hot-tagged in and beat up Mickey for a minute. Trish hit a powerbomb for a near fall, then finished her with a Stratusfaction. WINNER: Trish in 4:00.

Backstage, Nitro, Melina, and Mick Foley were chatting about "cheap water." Foley said he wanted Melina to introduce him for his first in-person appearance on Raw in six weeks. Nitro approved and told her to keep it sexy.

Milena said Erica should be next to go because while she's nice, she's not right for this competition.

Melina introduced Foley. Ross said he's become a strange enigma and he can't figure him out. Foley said important people should be on hand for the important moments of life, and this is an important night in his life. He said he has decided to give the fans what they really want - "Mick Foley vs. Ric Flair in this very ring tonight right here in New Jersey - as he join forces in our quest for tag team gold." He said that may sound ridiculous, but it's not as strange as some might think. He said they share a lot in common. He said Flair took a young Randy Orton under his wing a few years ago, and he took Melina under his wing a while back. He said Flair is a personal friend of the President of the United States while he's a friend of hardcore pourn icon Christy Canyon. He said one of them got to the top screwing a lot of people, and the other became famous in adult films. He then laughed at his own joke. He said he's been interviewed by USA Today twice and was interviewed by Katie Couric. He said Flair made headlines for an embarrassing road rage incident. Ross noted that Flair was exonerated.

Flair's music interrupted. Foley said he had been expecting him. Flair told Foley he needed to keep his mouth shut. He said he's been waiting three weeks, and that's a long time for him because everybody knows he's overstayed his welcome for a long time. That didn't really make much sense. Flair asked if the hardcore Foley was talking, the Cactus Jack Mick Foley. He said yes. Flair fell face-first onto the mat, then got up and said take that and shove it. He said they are long overdue. "Talkin' about your book. Who gives a damn about a book. They're booing A-Rod in New York and they're gonna be booin' you because you're lazier than A-Rod. For those of you who don't know, I drank a lot more than one glass of wine writing my book because my book is a lifetime of greatness. That's me, Ric Flair. " He bounced against the rope and said, "God-damn, I'm wound up." He was bleeped. "You said something about imaginary bad-asses. Bruiser Brody, where are you today? Stan Hansen in Denver, Colorado - Stan, he's calling you imaginary. Harley Race, Terry Funk, the list goes on. Imaginary bad asses? Those guys would walk over you on the way to the bathroom and you wouldn't open your mouth for one second. Those are badasses." He told Foley, "I want to taste your blood!" Melina stepped out of the ring after Flair took another flop. He said, "Bring Mr. Socko. I dare you. I'll shove him up your butt." He asked the crowd if they want to see Foley and Flair go. "You've tasted my blood. I've got to taste yours. I've got to try you. I want to fall off the cage, I want barbed wire in the head. I want thumb tacks. I want whatever you got, Cactus Jack." He leaned into Foley's face. "Most of all, I want you - you and me to finalize this."

He said he gets tired of Foley talking about his ear, his book, his wife and kids. He said regarding Melina: "She's the kind of diva the Nature Boy used to run around with, not you. Yeah, 15 years ago, all night long." He then did the Flair strut. He said she would be Space Mountainized. Foley said that's the difference between them: "You look at Melina and you see a conquest. I look at her and see a friend." He said he has a friend in the pourn business. "You look in her eyes and think what are my odds. I look in those eyes and see only kindness and compassion. I've got a friend in the ph0rno business and I watched a little bit of what she did when I was a younger man. Now I think of that girl and I think of what she's done with children overseas. I'll be damned if I'm going to be taking family tips from a man who's been married three times... so far. And a man who has been an absentee father twice." Flair stepped toward Foley. He stepped back and said he stepped over the line and was wrong. He said since his book came out, they haven't had much to talk about. He said on a trip overseas, they shared little in common, but they could talk about family. He said he picked up the phone and called his four children and told them he loves them because you just never know. He said he is a little jealous of him because he'll never know what it's like to look his kids in the face and say, "Kids, your dad's just been arrested." Flair punched Foley. Ross said Foley stepped over the line. Foley retreated.

Coach walked out with mic in hand. He said after their verbal jousting, he's announced that Mr. McMahon has authorized a match everyone would like to see - Ric Flair vs. Mick Foley at Summerslam. Foley said Vince McMahon needs to go back and read over his contract because it says he wrestles who he wants, when he wants. "In 20 years of putting on the Mick Foley stunt show, I have suffered. I have a few good matches left in this body, and I'll be damned if I'm going to waste it on a washed up piece of crap like you. Have a nice day. Yeah!" Ross said, "This company needs a staff psychology!"

Rebecca said all five others have to go. They let her get away with not picking one by name.

John Cena vs. Matt Striker - During Cena's ring intro, Ross said: "Love him or hate him, that's your Texas-sized 1st Amendment right, express yourself any way you want." Ross announced the match stip that if Edge loses by DQ at Summerslam, he loses the title. Edge and Lita walked out. A tarp lifted stage right and revealed the Rated-R Announce table. Ross said the good news it's not anywhere near them. Edge and Lita added commentary for the two minutes the match lasted. Edge held up his title belt and said it was his. WINNER: Cena with an STFU in 2:00.

Rory McAllister (w/Robbie) vs. Johnny (w/rest of Spirit Squad) - After some early interference by the Spirit Squaders at ringside, the ref ordered them through their own megaphone to return to the back. The crowd popped as the Squaders protested. WINNER: Rory in 4:00 with an inside cradle.

J.T. said she'd like to see Rebecca voted off because she's too concerned about his look and couldn't handle getting rocked in the ring.

The Miz stepped out with the remaining six Diva Contestants. Rebecca was voted off. She smiled and walked off. She deserved to go because she didn't have the guts to name someone by name that she felt should be voted off. Miz ended with a "Hoo-Rah!"

They went to footage of the WrestleMania 23 press conference at Ford Field hosted by Gene Okerlund.

Two agents walked into DX's locker room. They said an eye witness reported that they have illegal substances in their possession. They found Cuban cigars. Hunter said they weren't his and he doesn't even smoke. Michaels tried to speak up for him, but they told him it doesn't concern him. They led Hunter out of the locker room. He said after he calls his attorney McDevitt, they'll be sorry. He passed Vince and Shane chatting in a doorway. As Hunter walked away, they pulled out cigars and smiled.

Shawn Michaels vs. Umaga - The unstoppable Samoan Bulldozer was stopped immediately by Michaels with a boot to the face and chops. A minute into the match, Vince and Shane walked toward the ring as Michaels took a breather at ringside. Umaga roundhouse kicked Michaels in the chest, knocking him over the top rope to the floor. He rammed Michaels into the announcers' table. Ross yelled, "Get him back in the ring. That's uncalled for!" Ross said it doesn't take a genius to figure out that Estrada was responsible for Hunter being taken away by law enforcement agents. Umaga kicked and stomped away at Michaels for a couple of minutes. As Michaels was about to nip up late in the match, Estrada held his leg. Umaga charged at Michaels, but he moved and Umaga knocked Estrada to the floor. Umaga caught Michaels charging at him and tossed him into the mat and Samoan dropped him to the mat. Umaga swung at Michaels with a Samoan Spike, but Michaels ducked and gave Umaga a low-blow as the ref was distracted by Vince McMahon. Michaels went to the top rope and came off with an elbow. Vince held Michaels's leg as he stomped the mat to signal for Sweet Chin Music. Michaels punched Vince. Shane ran into the ring. Michaels took him out with a flying forearm. Michaels nipped up, but Umaga surprised him with a lariat for the win. WINNER: Umaga in 12:00. After the match, Shane held Michaels as Vince kicked him in the gut. Vince then took off his belt and whipped Michaels. Vince then held a chair against Michaels's face. Shane stomped the mat to signal for SCM. He kicked the chair into Michaels's face. Michaels collapsed to the mat. Vince shouted that Hunter would have to face Umaga next week on Raw.

RAW Preview for 8/7 from WWE.com:

Hulk Hogan was originally scheduled to show up at RAW Monday night in Memphis, but his appearance is now up in the air. WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon received a phone call from Hulk Hogan Friday afternoon in which Hogan said that he may have suffered a cracked meniscus. Hogan's appearances on RAW this week, next week in Charlottesville and even at SummerSlam, where he is scheduled to face Randy Orton, are all in jeopardy.

Randy Orton, however, will definitely be at RAW, facing Jerry 'The King' Lawler in The Kings hometown of Memphis, Tenn. Two weeks ago, after Hogan dared Orton to step into the ring with him, Lawler made it his business to give the Hulkster a helping-hand. The King left his announcers post and tossed Orton into the ring to prevent him from getting away from Hogan. The following week Orton landed a cheap shot on Lawler that knocked him off of his chair. Lawler responded by challenging the Legend Killer to a match on RAW. Will Lawler have the hometown edge when he steps into the ring with, or will he become another victim of the Legend Killer?

Also, after announcing that D-Generation X would take on the McMahons at SummerSlam, the Chairman was all smiles with Shawn Michaels left seemingly unconscious in the ring. Following a tiring match with the undefeated Umaga, interference by Mr. McMahon and Shane ensured the Samoan Bulldozer would not only get the victory over HBK, but hopefully injure him in the process.

The Chairman and his son continued the brutal assault after the match, and also told Michaels to give Triple H a message that he would take on Umaga on RAW the following week.

Since joining RAW in April, The Samoan Bulldozer has ripped through the competition. His savage beatings on HBK, among others have got to be on The Games mind. Although Triple H is known as one of the fiercest competitors in WWE, he has to wonder about the type of danger he could be subjected to against Umaga. For weeks, DX was one step ahead of the McMahons. Then, after Umaga got tossed into the mix, the scales were tipped against DX for the first time. Will the Samoan Bulldozer continue his dominance against Triple H on RAW?

A match between WWE Champion Edge and John Cena was also announced for SummerSlam and theres a stipulation. If Edge gets disqualified, he will lose the WWE Championship. WWE fans know how fanatical Cena has been about reclaiming the WWE Championship, but Edge has vowed he wont succumb to the STFU, and that hell be the one with his hand raised at SummerSlam. What will Edge have to say on RAW?

Goodbye, Rebecca DiPietro. The third Diva casualty slimmed the pool in the Diva Search contest down to five. This week on RAW, the fourth Diva hopeful will be eliminated. Who will it be?

SummerSlam, the biggest party of the summer, is rapidly approaching and the closer it gets, the more the competition heats up. Watch RAW on Monday night, live on the USA Network at 9pm et, 8pm ct

 

RAW Results for 8/7:

The show began with Vince and Shane McMahon. they were doing the Flying Elvises gimmick. Vince and Shane basically recounted their feud with DX while doing Elvis songs and mannerisms.

Trish Stratus and Mickie James were going to have a womens title match. As soon as they locked up, Edge came out. He said the match was over, and Mickie left. Edge then whined about not getting respect, and pointed out the SummerSlam poster was built around everyone but him and Trish Stratus is on the cover of the new WWE Magazine. Lita called Trish a tramp and threatened her, so Trish fought back. Edge pulled Trish off and gave Lita the chance to hit Trish with a spear. Edge was going to spear her as well, but Carlito made the save. Edge speared Carlito anyway.

Kane defeated Shelton Benjamin to become the number one contender for the Intercontinental Title. Benjamin came in with an impressive springboard bulldog at the beginning of the match. Kane came back with a clothesline, side slam, and clothesline off the top. He went for the choke slam but Benjamin kind of reversed into what was supposed to be a DDT. He went for the T-Bone but Kane escaped, and Benjamin leaped off the top into a choke slam.

John Cena came out to boos. He did a comedy promo making fun of Edge and Lita. He wanted Edge, but Coach said that Edge was already booked and he would wrestle Viscera. Cena then defeated Viscera. Viscera hit a Samoan drop, spinning heel kick, avalanche, and power slam. He applied the camel clutch as well, but missed a splash. At that point Cena hit the FU for the pin.

They did this week in WWE history. They referenced the August 9, 1980 Shea Stadium show. I bet many of you already know where this is going. They brought up Andre the Giant vs. Hulk Hogan and Bob Backlund & Pedro Morales vs. Wild Samoans.

Backstage, Trish was angry at Lita. She vowed to whoop that trick, which was just great and the clear highlight of the show up to this point. She paced back and forth in anger and then grabbed Carlito and kissed him. Elsewhere, Shane McMahon was looking for Shawn Michaels. It was a setup, as when Michaels jumped Shane, security pulled Michaels off and took him to jail for striking an officer in the skirmish.

Edge and Lita defeated Carlito and Trish in a mixed tag match. Carlito dominated Edge early with a knee lift and clothesline. Edge tagged Lita, and Trish went after Lita with the Charlie Thesz press, strikes and a whirly bird. Carlito and Trish hit drop kicks to clear the ring. Carlito went for a springboard elbow, but Lita interfered and Edge gained control. Carlito came back by hitting the move and tagging Trish. Trish came in with the drop kick, a chop, a spine buster, and the Stratusphere. Edge went to spear Carlito, but speared Trish accidentally. Lita covered Trish for the pin. This was a very well laid out match with a nice finish.

Randy Orton backstage was asked about Hulk Hogans knee problems. He said that Hogan knows he will be in trouble if he faces Orton at SummerSlam.

Next came this weeks show stealing performance from Ric Flair and Mick Foley. Flair brought out Foley Is Good. He said he wanted to know what makes Foley tick so he can get Foley to accept his challenge for SummerSlam. He proceeded to attack Foleys book with knees, elbows and punches, and threw it into the crowd. He then kept one page, which he said proves Foley is a fan of Flair. He noted Foleys top ten wrestling matches of all time, and Ric Flair vs. Terry Funk at New York Knockout was number one. He didnt point this out, but Ric Flair vs. Ricky Steamboat from Music City Showdown was also on the list at number four. Flair said Foley is afraid of him and knows he cant beat him. Mick Foley came out and admitted he is a Flair fan. He said Flair was a better wrestler than Foley ever was. He said he hates Flair more than anyone else he has met in wrestling. He added that Foley vs. Flair would be the real main event of SummerSlam and would put Flairs name right back at the top, and he cant let that happen. He said Flair kept him from his dreams in WCW, so now he will use his creative control to keep Flair from his. Flair said that Foley cant walk away from the glory of wrestling Flair in the greatest hardcore match of all time. Foley said he would accept the challenge for an I Quit match. Foley said this may be Flairs greatest match, but it also may be his last. Flair said may one of them bleed to death in Boston.

Randy Orton beat Jerry Lawler. He slapped Orton twice and hit a body slam. He missed a fist drop off the second rope. Orton went for the RKO, but Lawler got out and almost sent Orton into the referee. Orton used the opportunity to hit a low blow, execute the RKO, and score the pin.

They ran a vignette for the returning Jeff Hardy. They then went to the diva search segment. They eliminated the particularly vacant looking woman. They decided to play a game of Dis the Diva where they got to talk about why they are better than the others. They were all booed.

Umaga beat Triple H. Umaga was accompanied by Vince, Shane and Armando. Umaga hit a kick, head butt and butt drop. He missed a head butt off the ropes, and HHH came back with a face buster and clothesline. He went for the pedigree but Umaga reversed. HHH still hit a spine buster and covered, but Vince pulled the referee out of the ring. Shane jumped HHH from behind. HHH gave Shane a belly to belly suplex and went for the pedigree on Vince. Umaga hit him with the Samoan spike for the pin. Vince gave HHH the pedigree after the match.

After suffering a partially torn meniscus, WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan's status for SummerSlam was up in the air. But earlier this week, WWE.com learned that not only will he compete at the Biggest Party of the Year against Randy Orton, he will also be appearing on RAW Monday night. Sources close to WWE.com have also learned that the Legend Killer plans on calling out the Hulkster on RAW just six days before what should be an epic confrontation at SummerSlam. What will Orton say to try and get the Hulster in the ring so close to their match? Will Hogan put his already injured knee in jeopardy on RAW?

Plus, the method of divide and conquer on DX has been used to perfection by the Chairman the past few weeks. First, Shawn Michaels felt the brunt of the new McMahon plan of attack; then it was Triple Hs turn. But Monday night on RAW, both members of DX will be united and in full force. With HBK and The Game back together as a unit, will the duo be able to take some wind out of the McMahons' sails before SummerSlam? Or will the Chairman and Shane continue to gian momentum heading into the Biggest Party of the Summer? Tune in to RAW to find out.

While WWE Champion Edge complained about not receiving enough publicity from WWE, his SummerSlam opponent, John Cena, kept his eyes on the prize. What will Edge have to say about John Cenas display of superhuman strength when he gave the 500-pound Viscera a thunderous FU? Cena has been fixated on reclaiming the WWE Championship and at SummerSlam, hell have the opportunity hes craved. Can Cena keep his focus? Or will Edge try to find a way to distract the challenger with one week to go until they face off?

Erica Chevillar was the latest casualty in the 2006 $250,000 Diva Search competition. Immediately following her dismissal, SmackDown and Diva Search host, The Miz gave the four remaining finalists a chance to unload some grievances on the competition. On RAW, another finalist will go home. Will it be Milena Roucka? Jen England? Lalya El? Or J.T. Tinney?

Its the last RAW before the biggest party of the year, SummerSlam, and for the answers to these questions and much, much more, you have to watch RAW live on the USA Network at 9pm et, 8pm ct.

RAW Preview for 8/21 from WWE.com:

After the party ends
August 21, 2006

What will be the fallout from SummerSlam? Who will be WWE Champion? On RAW, John Cena unleashed a fury so violent that he had to be suppressed by security guards to keep him from tearing the head off of the WWE Champion Edge. Can he bring that same rage into his match with the Rated R Superstar at SummerSlam? Does Edge have an answer for Cenas intensity?

Can Hulk Hogan avoid being another legend killed by Randy Orton at SummerSlam? After a very public war of words between Hogan and Orton, the Hulkster has a lot of anger fueling him in this match. Orton has shown Hogan and the entire Hogan family no respect, which is something that Hulkamania has always stood for. Can the WWE Hall of Famer teach the brash, young Superstar a lesson, or will he fall victim to Ortons deadly RKO?

Will the McMahons attempt to use the divide and conquer method that has worked so well on DX the past few weeks? At one point, the McMahons could have been written out of this match, but with their string of victories, and with the resources available to recruit some hired help, theyve gone from no chance to contenders. Do Triple H and Shawn Michaels have a strategy of their own? Can DX use the Biggest Party of the Summer to bury the most influential entities in sports-entertainment?

The I Quit Match between Ric Flair and Mick Foley will undoubtedly be a slugfest. Neither Superstar wants to succumb to the other, and for one of them to say I Quit will take more pain and blood than either has ever given in a match. Who will emerge victorious? Who will be forced to utter the words I Quit?

Find out on RAW this Monday at 9pm ET, 8pm ET on the USA Network.

 

RAW Results for 8/21:

Edge came out to start the show. He said that people bought tickets to the show expecting he would no longer be champion, but he emerged victorious anyway. He pointed out he didnt have his girl or his belt, and Lita appeared on the screen with the title. Edge pointed out the title was Cenas belt, and said he would remove the last remnants of Cena. Lita threw the belt into the water.

Edge said there is a new era, and debuted the new title. Jeff Hardy came out, and said Edge talks too much. Edge remarked, didnt you die three years ago? Edge said he ruined Matt Hardys career, and Jeffs a no-talent loser just like Matt. Jeff attacked Edge, but Edge ducked out as Jeff was going for the swanton.

Highlanders, Jim Duggan and Eugene beat the Spirit Squad in an 8-man tag. Eugene used an airplane spin on Johnny and rammed him into Rorys head. He tagged Robbie, who was worked over by a double suplex. Kenny hit a flying elbow on Robbie, and Mikey executed a moonsault. Kenny hit a swinging neck breaker, but missed a leg drop off the top on Robbie. Robbie tagged Rory, and it broke into a brawl. The Highlanders hit a springboard reverse suplex for the pin. Edge approached Coach and wanted Jeff Hardy in a non-title match. Coach granted this. Vince and Shane McMahon then arrived and told Coach to get out of his office. Vince said it isnt over with DX.

Randy Orton backstage said that he beat Hulk Hogan, but was screwed by the referee when Hogan put his foot on the ropes. This is the wrong argument. He should be arguing that Hogan took the cheap way out, because its not exactly some new rule that getting your foot on the ropes breaks the count. He said he would take out his aggressions on Ric Flair. Carlito approached Orton, and said Hogan getting his hand raised was cool. Orton said Carlito wasnt even on the card, and that hes just a character and a t-shirt and should pay more respect to Orton.

HHH appeared on video. DX was in an air terminal, to pay a visit to Vinces plane. Shawn ran around acting like a mentally handicapped child. They went to the plane and spray painted DX on it. Vince made angry faces at this.

Trish beat Victoria. They traded punches. Trish hit an avalanche into the corner, a drop kick, a Thesz press off the apron to the floor and rammed Victoria into the post. Back in the ring she followed up with a clothesline and victory roll, but Victoria reversed Stratusfaction into a back breaker. Victoria threw Trish around by her hair, but Trish reversed with a whirly bird and clothesline. Victoria came back with a knee, but again Trish responded with a huracanrana off the top and punches. Victoria went for the Widows Peak, but Trish escaped and hit the Stratusfaction for the pin. This was a good match, as one would expect from these two.

Vince and Shane came to the ring after the match. Vince was furious about the plane, and said he called the cops and they would show DX being arrested. DX, however, was no longer at the airport. Rather, they were at WWE headquarters. They said they would leave their mark, and showed the DX spray paint job on WWE headquarters that they publicized on WWE.com a month ago. Vince acted all upset. They cut to Vince and Shane backstage yet again, and this time Mick Foley approached Vince. Vince was mad at Foley for saying nasty things about him last week. He said he wanted Foley to join the Kiss My Ass Club, and said that if Foley didnt kiss his ass, somebody would get fired.

Jeff Hardy beat Edge via disqualification. Hardy went after Edge quickly with a baseball slide, and there were chants for him. Edge responded by throwing Hardy under the bottom rope and working him over with punches. He wrapped him around the post, but Hardy came back with a DDT. Hardy went for the twist of fate, but Edge reversed with an inverted DDT. Jim Ross explicitly predicted during this match that Jeff Hardy would die at a young age. Jeff came back and did hit the twist of fate. He followed that with the swanton, but they screwed up the finishing pin sequence. Lita pulled Edges leg to the rope, but the referee said Edge got his shoulder up. A DQ was called when for Lita pulling Edge out of the ring.

Immediately at this point, Cena attacked Edge. He brawled with Edge backstage. Edge rammed Cena into a garage door and ran away, but Cena caught up with him outside. Cena said he isnt going anywhere. He rammed Edge into a tree and choked him with a hose. Edge responded by hitting Cena with a life preserver. Cena kept coming and threw Edge into the water.

Melina thanked Mick Foley for protecting her from a crazed Ric Flair. Foley said it was no problem. He said he was thinking about whether he would join the Kiss My Ass Club. Melina said Foley is her mentor and best friend and she wouldnt know what to do without him around. She said she will support him either way.

Kane beat Johnny Nitro via disqualification. Nitro ran away trying to avoid Kane, but caught a big boot. He kept dodging, and snapped Kanes neck over the top rope. He went for a springboard drop kick that was brushed aside. Kane went for the clothesline off the top, but Umaga ran in and attacked Kane. Umaga gave him the STO and Samoan spike. Kane sat up, so Umaga kicked him, dropped two head butts and hit the Samoan spike off the second rope. Kane bled from the mouth.

Ric Flair beat Randy Orton via disqualification. Flair looked really beat up, and Orton beat him up some more here. Orton sent Flair over the top rope with a clothesline. He drop kicked him off the apron, and hit a suplex on the floor. He beat down Flair, and threw Flair into the ring steps. Flair bled. Flair hit a couple chops but Orton came back with punches and hit the RKO for the pin. Orton kept beating up Flair after the match, so they reversed the decision. Carlito came in for the save.

Mick Foley and Melina came out for another Vince McMahon segment. Foley said he wouldnt kiss Vinces ass, and doesnt need the job. He said he has saved his money and Vince cant threaten him. Vince said that he would fire someone, but didnt say that he would fire Foley. Instead, he would fire Melina. Foley said nobody is worth kissing Vinces butt for, except Melina. Melina broke down and didnt want him to. Foley said theres something special about her and shell be a big star.

He added that this will be the low point of his career but it will be a small price to pay for her friendship. Foley then yelled at Vince to pull his pants down and kissed Vinces butt. Melina gave Foley a low blow from behind. Vince then had Melina say Foley is fired. The McMahons went to leave, but as they drove off there was a chain hooked to the axel of their car, and it destroyed the car. DX had spray painted on the other side of the limo and Vince played it up going out.
