RAW Results for 10/23: They started the show by hyping all the publicity they got for K-Feds appearance last week. K-Fed then came out to a strong heel reaction. Seriously, K-Fed is welcome any time he wants to appear on Raw in my book. If ever there were a natural heel, its this guy. He said he came for payback, and he had a couple people who will annihilate John Cena at Cyber Sunday. He introduced King Booker, who put over K-Feds album as a treasure. He said Federline is a trendsetter, and everyone will vote to put Cenas title on the line. Booker said that he will win the title. Big Show came out and agreed Cenas title would be on the line and Cena would lose, but said he would take the title rather than Booker. They argued about what K-Fed thought. John Cena came out and made fun of them. This was some exceptionally lame comedy material even for WWE writers. Cena couldnt even redeem it this week. He did get one good line in, as he said when Booker put over Federlines album, he officially lost his status as a black man. Then Ron Simmons came out, said damn, and left. Mickie James beat Melina in a semi-final match in the womens title tournament. They traded punches, and Melina hit some knees. Melina applied the dragon sleeper, but Mickie escaped and they traded forearms. Mickie went for a leaping DDT, but Melina got out and hit a swinging neck breaker. Mickie recovered with a huracanrana and DDT for the pin. Shelton Benjamin and Chris Masters beat Jeff Hardy and Carlito. Fans can choose between the other three as Jeff Hardys opponent for Cyber Sunday. The heels worked over Hardy early on. Masters slammed Hardy on the floor and hit a butterfly suplex in the ring. Hardy hit the whisper in the wind on Benjamin and tagged Carlito. Carlito hit a springboard elbow and the flatliner on Benjamin. Carlito then gave both heels a springboard senton, and hit the quebrada on Masters. However, Hardy and Carlito were shoved into each other and Carlito was rolled up for the pin. After the match, all four fought with each other. Backstage, Edge and Randy Orton said that last week was typical DX, but DX wont pull the same antics this week or at Cyber Sunday. They debuted a new team name, Rated RKO. Edge invited impartial observers to the ring: Vince McMahon, Jonathan Coachman and Eric Bischoff. Elsewhere, Johnny Nitro put over K-Fed as a better rapper and actor than Cena, and Federline said he would have Nitros back against Cena. John Cena beat Johnny Nitro, who was accompanied by K-Fed. Cena hit a fisherman buster, but was distracted by K-Fed. Nitro threw him over the top and K-Fed slapped him. Cena was about to go after K-Fed when Nitro hit a pescado. Nitro slammed Cena into the announce table and applied a rear naked choke in the ring. Cena slammed him backwards and came back with the Cena slam, five knuckle shuffle and FU for the pin. Cena chased K-Fed away from the ring until of course Show and Booker jumped him. They attacked Cena while K-Fed talked trash. Show gave Cena a choke slam. Booker then gave Show the Book End, and gave Cena a scissors kick. Cryme Tyme beat Mikey and Nicky. Mikey slammed JTG and gave him a suplex and drop kick. JTG tagged Shad, who came in with punches and clotheslines. He gave Mikey a side slam and clotheslined Nicky to the outside. Johnny came off the top but Shad caught him and threw him to the outside on Mitch. Cryme Tyme then hit their Samoan drop/neck breaker combination, called the G-9, for the pin. After the match, Kenny gave Mikey a leg drop off the top. He said hes the youngest and best member of the Spirit Squad and he has had enough. He said he would beat Ric Flair by himself. Eugene was shooting t-shirts to the crowd, when Umaga came out. Armando said that Umagas challenge had been accepted, and fans could choose Umagas opponent from Chris Benoit, Sandman or Kane. Eugene accidentally shot Armando in the groin with the t-shirt gun, so Umaga jumped a terrified Eugene. He gave him the Samoan drop, chops, and the butt drop. Backstage, Hacksaw Jim Duggan told Eugene he had to stop being so nice, and Eugene responded by attacking Duggan and going crazy. After Kenny attacked his partners two weeks in a row and called them losers and inferior, they still accompanied him to his match with Ric Flair. This made no sense. I guess it was just an excuse for Flair to bring out Roddy Piper, Sgt. Slaughter and Dusty Rhodes. Flair will be teaming with one of them against the Spirit Squad for the tag titles at Cyber Sunday. That also makes no sense given Cryme Tyme has beaten them twice in non-title matches. In any event, Kenny hit a back drop, drop kick off the ropes and punches on Flair. Flair came back with punches. Flair was tripped coming off the ropes and Kenny rolled him up for the pin. The Squad went after Flair after the match. Kenny left while the legends took apart the other Squad members. DX plugged their merchandise backstage. Shawn said that the guys who talk about being the best in the industry live up to it the least. I read that as a shot at Bret Hart. DX said they would take it to Edge and Orton, and did some weird visual gags. DX has fallen off harder than the Atlanta Braves. Vince spoke with Bischoff elsewhere. They agreed that they could help each other. Vince then received a phone call, and used this as an excuse not to come to ringside for the main event. Randy Orton beat Triple H. HHH referred to Edge and Orton as the most dynamic duo since Siegfried and Roy. Coach and Bischoff were at ringside. HHH hit a suplex, knee drop and spine buster on Orton. Orton snapped HHH on the ropes, hit a drop kick, a DDT and a knee drop. He actually pulled out the old Garvin stomp. HHH came back with a high knee, but Lita interfered and Orton hit a back breaker. HHH went for the pedigree, but Edge came in with a spear on HHH. Michaels attacked Edge. Coach went to count the pinfall in the ring, but Michaels gave him sweet chin music. Edge went for another spear on HHH, but HHH threw him to the outside. Bischoff gave Orton a chair and Orton hit HHH with it for the pin.

RAW Results for 10/30: Edge and Randy Orton started the show in the ring. Edge said it was his birthday, but he was discouraged to celebrate it in front of the fans. Orton reminded Edge of his victory over HHH last week. Edge said that made him feel better. They brought out Vince McMahon, Eric Bischoff and Jonathan Coachman. Each said why they should be the special referee at Cyber Sunday. Bischoff said he would create controversy, Coach said he would prove hes not a joke, and Vince said he would show DX the same respect they have shown him in the past. Vince announced that Shawn Michaels wouldnt be on Raw, and HHH would wrestle Randy Orton again with Edge as referee. Vince asked the others to leave the ring, and asked Coach how he would prepare John Cena for Cyber Sunday. Coach said he would give Cena the night off. Vince didnt like that, so Coach said he would put Cena in a handicap match against Big Show and King Booker. Vince didnt like that either, so Coach just wanted to know what Vince would do. Vince said he would let the people vote on Cenas Raw opponent: Big Show, King Booker or Coach. Carlito beat Johnny Nitro and Shelton Benjamin in a triple threat match. Jeff Hardy watched from ringside. Nitro and Benjamin double teamed Carlito and threw him to the floor. In the ring, Nitro hit a side Russian leg sweep and break dance leg drop on Benjamin. Carlito came back in with punches, a drop kick, a knee lift and a clothesline to take out both men. Benjamin came back in with a springboard bulldog from behind on Carlito. Benjamin came off the top on Nitro, but was caught with a drop kick. Carlito threw Nitro to the outside, gave Benjamin the back cracker, and covered for the win. John Cena backstage said he isnt worried about Cyber Sunday. He delivered a really lame joke about K-Feds album being the bomb. Cena then harassed the interviewer about who he voted for as Cenas Raw opponent. Eventually the interviewer said he voted for Booker and hoped Booker would beat Cena. Cena wasnt bothered by this, and vowed to present all sorts of problems for whichever opponent he was faced with. Elsewhere backstage, Torrie Wilson went to Carlito and said that if he wanted to talk to her about Trish Stratus departure, he could. Carlito insincerely said he could use someone to talk to, and they made plans to meet up later. Lita beat Maria. Mickie James did commentary, and played a straight babyface out of the 70s. Maria went for rollups early. Lita cut her off with a kick, side Russian leg sweep, back breaker and kicks. Maria came back with a bulldog and bronco buster, but Lita went to the eye and hit a DDT for the pin. Lita and Mickie now meet for the womens title at Cyber Sunday in a no-DQ match, submission match or lumberjack match. HHH beat Randy Orton via disqualification. HHH attacked Edge before the match and gave him a pedigree. Apparently this killed Edge or something, because after they took a full commercial break he still couldnt referee the match. So another referee worked the match. They traded punches early. HHH went after Ortons knee with a chop block and rammed the knee into the post. Orton came back with a DDT and Garvin stomp. HHH hit a face buster and Edge ran in out of the blue and attacked HHH for a DQ. Umaga beat Eugene and Hacksaw Jim Duggan in a handicap match. Umaga beat up Duggan with a head butt off the second rope and the Samoan spike for the pin. Eugene was still terrified of Umaga, and Jerry Lawler got mad at Eugene and called him a coward. Coach backstage said he wasnt afraid of Cena, and that he would beat up the next person who came through the door. It was Ron Simmons. Coach ran away. Simmons said damn. Ric Flair came out and said he would beat the Spirit Squad Sunday. He introduced the choices for his partner, and Sgt. Slaughter, Roddy Piper and Dusty Rhodes all cut fun promos. Cryme Tyme beat Viscera and Charlie Haas with the Samoan drop/neck breaker combination. John Cena beat Coach, who won voting in a landslide. Coach ran away, so Cena brought him back to the ring by the ear. Show and Booker jumped Cena. Show speared Cena and Booker threw him into the steps. They then did commentary, and talked all over Lawler and Ross doing their best JBL impersonations. Coach had the advantage briefly and choked Cena, but Cena came back and applied the STFU for the submission in quick order
Someone really needs to remind the Dweem that Flair is a sixTEEN time champion... not SIX. If Dusty wins the vote for Sunday, he should bring back the donkey with "Dusty's Ass" painted on it from 2000!

Carlito punks him out and dropkicks him out of the ring. Torrie brings the hugging. That gives Masters a chance to attack Carlito from behind and strap him in the Masterlock. Masters makes a point of snitching at Lawler in the process so he gets into the ring and Masters chickens out because it'd be two on one. Todd Grisham chats with Johnny Nitro and reminds him he's never had a ladder match. Melina chips in saying they're both very confident. They dedicate tonight's victory to Kevin Federline.

Jeff also goes under the ladder. JR plugs ECW tomorrow where the Hardyz will reunite and team up for the first time in four years. Jeff cheerleads for himself. As with most ladder matches the crowd is dead to start with because they're waiting for the ladder to come in. And as I type that they start chanting for Jeff again.

Jeff pulls out the first ladder and the second ladder is already screwed. Both men end up on ladder one and climbing but Jeff flips over the top and sunset flip powerbombs Nitro off the ladder. Jeff sets the ladder up in the corner again and hits the slingshot legdrop. That was the spot that made him a star back in 1999. Hardy sets the ladder up on top of Nitro. Try as he might he can't tip the ladder up and Hardy grabs the belt. Winner: Jeff Hardy by belt retrieval Lita v Mickie James - Lita has a mic again. She has another stipulation. This week Mickie is blindfolded. Out comes Coach with a blindfold. Not just a blindfold but a full hood. Lita walks around behind her and smacks her in the back of the head. Mickie grabs her causing a brief catfight but Lita is able to throw punches knowing where the target is. Lita spikes her with a DDT. She doesn't pin though instead wanting to rub this in with the Moonsault. Winner: Lita by pinfall after a moonsault Lita gets on the mic again.

Cena lifted her up for the FU, but Chris Masters came in and stopped him. Coach announced John Cena in the Masterlock challenge, and said that if Cena lost Masters would get a title shot next week. Cena basically said nobody will care about that, so Coach said the Masterlock challenge would be for the WWE Title. Kenny Doane backstage went to Edge and Randy Orton and said that the Spirit Squad is dead. Apparently he escaped from Louisville. He wanted to join Edge and Orton. They said he would have to prove himself first. Highlanders beat Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch in a match they dedicated to Roddy Piper. Highlanders won with a rollup. Victoria beat Maria very quickly. After the match Mickie came in to check on Maria and got a widows peak for her efforts. Shelton Benjamin said Cryme Tyme just reinforces a bunch of negative stereotypes and challenged Super Crazy to a match. Shelton Benjamin beat Super Crazy in a brief match. He hit a kick to the head, but missed the stinger splash. Its now called the Shelton splash by Jim Ross, presumably because Sting works for the opposition. Then again, few people watching Raw even know that, so Im not sure how useful that change is. Crazy missed a moonsault and Benjamin hit the T-Bone for the pin. Charlie Haas came out after the match to celebrate, but Benjamin was confused. John Cena won the Masterlock Challenge by making Chris Masters tap out to a full nelson. Cena was trying to break the hold when Masters rammed him into the referee. Cena then put on a full nelson of his own for the tap out. Umaga came in and had a hot pull apart brawl with Cena after this. Backstage, Viscera wanted Torrie Wilson to dump Carlito and get with him. Torrie was uninterested, and Carlito spit apple in his face. Elsewhere, Shawn Michaels said that Ric Flair would be back and now their feud with Edge & Orton is personal. Michaels said Edge & Orton did to Flair what they knew they could never do to DX. HHH was great, just sneering menacingly and angrily in the background. Carlito beat Viscera. Viscera hit a clothesline and stood on Carlito. Carlito went for a springboard crossbody but was brushed aside. Viscera missed an elbow, and Carlito hit the knee lift.

Coach made Cena vs. Armando for next week. Val Venis was doing kiss cam in the ring with two women. They were obviously models sitting in the front row hired to do this, but they pretended to be reluctant. They ended up rolling around the ring making out, of course. Eugene came out and wanted a kiss, but they refused. He said hes special repeatedly, and attacked Venis. Randy Orton, Edge and MNM beat DX and the Hardyz. The teams brawled early, with HHH choking Orton and Michaels giving him chops and a swinging neck breaker. The heels ended up working over Jeff, who tagged Matt. All eight ended up brawling again at that point. Michaels hit a flying forearm, the Hardyz hit stereo pescados, and HHH hit the spine buster. At that point Kenny hit Michaels with a chair and HHH chased him into the crowd. In the ring, Jeff was going for a swanton, but he was pushed off the top rope. Edge hit a spear and pinned Matt.

RAW Results for 12/11: John Cena beat Armando in the opener. Armando said nobody wanted to see him fight Cena, and offered Cena Cuban cigars as a peace offering. Cena of course broke a cigar in two. Armando offered his watch, but Cena destroyed it as well. Armando then offered cash, but Cena threw it into the crowd. Cena beat up Armando and pinned him after the FU. He applied the STFU after the match until Johnny Nitro came in. That was kind of weird, as Nitro only delivered one kick which Cena sold forever. It looked like Nitro really caught him with the kick. Nitro plugged Cenas match against Kevin Federline. Backstage, Cena challenged Nitro to a match. Jerry Lawler and Carlito beat Chris Masters and Viscera. Masters hit a body slam and some punches on Lawler. Viscera followed with punches, slaps, an elbow drop and a sit down power bomb.

The Worlds Greatest Tag Team defeated the Highlanders. Haas hit an overhead belly to belly and hard clothesline on Robbie. Benjamin gave him a suplex and a body slam into a Haas back breaker. Robbie hit a side Russian leg sweep and tagged Rory. Rory came in with a head butt and back drop, but his momentum didnt last long. Benjamin caught Robbie with a yakuza kick and they gave Rory the Worlds Greatest Double Team (broken arrow) for the pin. Triple H beat Edge via DQ in a nothing match. They brawled on the outside, and HHH sent Edge into the announcing table. Back in the ring, HHH hit a high knee and knocked Edge off the apron. As he chased Edge to the outside, Randy Orton interfered. That brought in Michaels, followed by Kenny, and finally Ric Flair. It takes away from the gravity of a very serious angle they did just two weeks ago for Flair to return so quickly. DX and Flair cleaned house, and Coach made a six man tag match. HHH, Ric Flair and Shawn Michaels beat Edge, Randy Orton and Kenny Doane. HHH gave Kenny a delayed vertical suplex and knee drop. Michaels followed with a sleeper and HHH hit a chop block.

He tagged Flair who went for the figure four on Kenny, but Edge and Orton broke it up. Kenny went to apply the figure four on Flair but Flair rolled him up for the pin. The heels after the match jumped the faces. They set Michaels up for the concerto, but HHH came in with the sledgehammer for the save. This was a good match. Nitro and Melina were talking with Kevin Federline on speakerphone in the back. Coach came in to grant Nitro a cage match with Jeff Hardy next week, and left with Nitro and Melina. That left Federline still on speakerphone, and Ron Simmons came in for his weekly spot. Victoria destroyed Torrie. Torrie didnt want to wrestle Victoria because Victorias crazy and she was going to get her butt kicked. Carlito didnt seem particularly concerned about her well being, and wished her good luck. Victoria just pummeled Torrie. She finished Torrie with the widows peak. Chris Masters came in afterwards to give Torrie the Masterlock, but Carlito made the save. Umaga defeated Jeff Hardy via ref stoppage. Armando wasnt with Umaga. Hardy hit kicks, a splash and whisper in the wind early. Umaga beat him down with punches, clotheslines and the dreaded nerve hold. He missed a splash off the top. Hardy hit his swanton, but Umaga powered out with ease. Hardy acted shocked and went for the twist of fate, but was caught with a Samoan drop. He hit his running butt drop twice and Marty stopped it. Umaga gave Hardy a third butt drop and then took poor Marty, who just had his name taken from him, and gave him the Samoan spike. He then gave Hardy the Samoan spike. John Cena beat Johnny Nitro. Cena dominated early with punches and kicks. This led to a hilarious exchange between Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross. Lawler said, If Cena nails Federline in the mouth, his rapping days will be over. Responded Ross, Theyre not? Cena went for the FU, but Nitro escaped. He threw Cena into the steps, worked on his back, and applied a sleeper. He hit a face buster and the sky twister press. Cena kicked out of a pin attempt, and finished Nitro with the Cena slam, five knuckle shuffle and FU.
