    RAW Results for 8/27:

    The show started with a video package on Randy Orton vs. John Cena. With Cena having retained the title for so long, this is a great time to really emphasize the importance of the title. Fans are more likely to buy it. Randy Orton came out. He said that he spent all day in church, because he witnessed a miracle when Cena retained his title. Orton said that he should be the champion, and that Cena should thank God he survived. He said that Cena won’t be lucky next time, and demanded a rematch. John Cena came out. He greeted his father in the front row, which was angle alert time. Cena said that Orton couldn’t get the job done, and once again the champ is here. He said that Orton had his shot and lost, which meant that Orton moves down and others move up. Cena suggested he wrestle HHH instead. William Regal came out, and made Cena vs. King Booker. Orton tried to attack Cena, but was sent out of the ring.

    Jeff Hardy and Mr. Kennedy battled to a no contest. Jeff nailed Kennedy with punches and kicks, and followed with a baseball slide and pescado. Kennedy threw Jeff backwards over the top rope to the outside, and worked him over. Jeff came back with the whisper in the wind and a side Russian leg sweep. Jeff went for the swanton, but Kennedy got up his knees. What was building into a very good match then abruptly ended. Umaga then came out for no apparent reason. Kennedy left the ring, but Umaga laid out Jeff with a crescent kick, running butt drop and Samoan spike. Kennedy encouraged him to do this.

    Vince McMahon was Carlito’s guest in the Cabana. Carlito wished Vince a happy birthday, and Vince claimed to be 50. He said that he will sue the mother of the bastard son for emotional distress. He added that everyone answers to him. That brought out HHH for some comedy. He said that he narrowed down the mother of Vince’s child to four women. There was a fat black woman who Vince thought was Aretha Franklin, a woman with an eye patch who had her eye poked out by Vince, Carlito’s 'sister' and a cross-dresser. HHH then said that Vince was running an illegal rooster fighting ring, and tricked him into saying he loves cocks. Carlito spit apple in HHH’s face, so HHH laid him out.

    Brian Kendrick, Paul London and Cody Rhodes beat Daivari, Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas. The heels worked over Kendrick, who tagged Cody. Cody pinned Daivari after a body slam, knee drop, powerslam, and crossbody off the top. This was good but too short. After the match, Daivari was angry. Cryme Tyme came out and stole and sold off his headdress. Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch came out, but Cryme Tyme stole Cade’s hat and sold it off.

    Randy Orton demanded a title shot from Vince. Vince said he didn’t deserve it, and he would have to show he deserves it.

    Beth Phoenix vs. Maria ended before it started. Beth jumped Maria from behind and laid her out with a fisherman buster. Candice backstage said she isn’t intimidated by Beth. Snitsky walked in and made some threatening remarks for no reason. William Regal then told Vince that his entire family will be on Raw next week with their attorneys to confront him.

    John Cena beat King Booker via DQ. Cena applied the STFU early, but Booker got to the ropes. Booker hit a heel kick. Cena hit a clothesline. Then Randy Orton ran in out of the middle of nowhere for the DQ. They beat down Cena. Orton was going to kick Cena in the head, but he hesitated. He then grabbed Cena’s father out of the crowd and kicked him in the head. That was a good angle to end the show

    RAW Results for 9/3:

    RAW begins with a video segment of Randy Orton attacking John Cena's father Johnny Fabulous. The crowd is perfect, cheer when they should and boo when they should.

    RAW opening match is the Intercontinental title match: Jeff Hardy v. Umaga. Umaga is on the top turnbuckle, Jeff hits him and he straddles the rope. Jeff gets the pin off of that and wins the title. See ya Umaga - suspended.

    They are showing Triple H and Carlito as upcoming tonight, not sure if its a match or the Cabana. They are also advertising "the McMahon family confrontation."

    Vince tells Coach that his family can't hurt him because he has a better OFFENSE. Carlito comes in with his hair cut! Vince tells him that his match against Triple H will be a handicap match in which he will tag with Umaga.

    William Regal is looking for John Cena and Melina comes up and tells him about "her night with Vince". Melina turns around and Stephanie is glaring at her. She turns the other way and Linda slaps her across the face. Ron Simmons shows up and gives Melina the DAMN.

    Santino and Maria come out to the ring. Santino insults the fans then talks crap to Ron Simmons. The Sandman's music hits...Santino tells Sandman that he's jealous because he makes love to Maria and Santdman makes love to his "stick". Sandman cracks Santino with the kendo stick then beats him all the way up the ramp with it. See ya Santino - suspended.

    Maria waits in the ring for her opponent. Beth Phoenix comes down and beats her in a minute with the Fisherman's suplex. Beth gets a mic and tells Candice that she's cashing in her title shot am Unforgiven. She then gives Maria another suplex and Candice runs out for the save. After a stare down Beth walks out of the ring and up the ramp.

    They show close ups of John Cena's dad's bruised face.

    Yay, it's Grisham with the dumb sign crap...

    William Regal comes to the ring and says that Randy Orton was told last week to show Vince McMahon that he deserved the title shot and unfortunately for the Cena family, he did just that. They showed a video package of the attack. Regal says that he gave Orton the night off, but he's here via satellite. He says that what happened was Cena's fault because he denied him a rematch. Regal announces that he gets the rematch at Unforgiven. Orton says that he hopes that Cena's dad never forgives Cena for it. Cena walks out with no music or video and Regal says that he's just doing his job. Cena attacks Regal and beats him out of the ring and across the announce table. STFU on the floor broken up by the refs running from the back.

    Lance Cade and Murdoch come to the ring and sit at the announce table. World's Greatest Tag Team v. London and Kendrick to determine the title contenders for Unforgiven. Note that Cade and Murdoch don't have their hats, so maybe some explanation is being made for Cryme Tyme being gone. Sliced Bread #2 and Kendrick gets the 3 count on Haas. Cade and Murdoch get in the ring with London & Kendrick and applaud them and shake their hands. Wow, this looks familiar... PS...See ya Haas - SUSPENDED.

    Regal is getting checked by paramedics. Shane McMahon walks by, looks at him and keeps walking.

    They aired a really good CM Punk video package. In the segment he says his line "I don't smoke, I don't do drugs, my high is wrestling."

    They show Umaga and Carlito in the locker room. Carlito says that Triple H was laughing at Umaga for losing the title.

    Vince and Coach have financial advisors and they are talking about Vince's money and how the family can't touch him. He then asks Coach how Regal is doing. Coach says "pretty beat up" and Vince replies with "well Coach, I guess its time for you to step up again." Once again, See ya Regal, SUSPENDED.

    Vince confirms with his lawyers that his family can't get at his accounts. He tells Coach that he will take over for Regal as Commissioner. Vince fires a lawyer for suggesting that he settle with the mother of his son, as that is a "defensive strategy". He tells the other two that he's out for blood.

    Jillian Hall and Daivari come out. Jillian talks crap to Lillian Garcia. She says that she had her wisdom teeth removed, but she and Daivari sing and dance anyway. Cody Rhodes (in black trunks!) and Mickie James interrupt and the match starts. Daivari singing in Farsi was kind of funny in a weird way...Cody pins Daivari after a nice DDT.

    Melina comes to the ring in a little black lace dress. Kiss cam segment.

    They aired a replay of Carlito's Cabana segment with Triple H and Vince.

    Triple H comes out for the handicap match to biggest pop of the night. Carlito comes out then Umaga. Umaga is disqualified for entering the ring without tagging and double teaming HHH. The beat down continues. Umaga hits a big splash from the top rope. Carlito holds a chair in front of HHH in the corner, but he moves and Umaga rams into it. Triple H beats Carlito with the chair to the outside then gives Umaga multiple chair shots to the head, as he won't go down. Umaga finally goes to one knee and Triple H gets the sledgehammer and gives Umaga a few shots. Carlito retreats up the ramp and Umaga is rolled away on a stretcher. I can't help but speculate! AKA, One again see ya Umaga, SUSPENDED.

    Off air, they carry Umaga out on a stretcher and change the pad on the mat from all of the blood.

    They aired a video package about going back to Iraq this year.

    Vince, Coach and the two attorneys come to the ring. Vince says that the family is here for one thing... "the MONEY!" Linda comes to the ring and says that she has plenty of her own money and doesn't need his. But, she can take him for everything due to the illegitimate son thing. Vince says that he had many lonely nights on the road and his kids would understand.

    Enter Stephanie. Vince shows a video that he made of the life of daddy's girl. They play a video of Vince beating down Steph instead. Vince is angry. HHH on video says he didn't play it. Steph says Vince needs help and should step down as Chairman.

    Enter MY SON, SHANE! Shane says there are two Vinces, the good and the bad. He says that Vince needs help, but he has to change himself. Vince says that none of the affairs happened and he lied to build his own ego and only cheated once. With the mother of his son. He kneels to his family and vows to be better.

    Kennedy comes to the ring. Ken points out the last name thing and the Green Bay location as where Vince plans to reveal the mystery. He says that he is Vince's son. Steph says that he's not Vince's son. Ken says that Vince's lunacy inspired him and that unlike his family, he won't judge Vince. Ken does his Kennedy thing on the mic and adds MCMAHON to it! Then, a representative for the suing mother comes out and says that Ken is not Vince's son but he can't reveal who is until next week. The horrible actor then says that he can give a clue, "Things are looking up".

    RAW ends and Vince makes Ken a match for lying to him. It will be against John Cena. So Kennedy is not suspended? Something is VERY VERY fishy.

    RAW Preview for 9/10 from WWE.com:

    This week, the wait is over. Mr. McMahon and the rest of the world will finally learn the identity of the Chairman’s illegitimate son.

    Last week, a lawyer for the woman who has filed a paternity suit against Mr. McMahon revealed only one clue about his illegitimate son: Things are looking up. Will Mr. McMahon beam with pride when his offspring’s identity is revealed? Or will he find himself cursing his considerable grapefruits? And will Mr. Kennedy, who claimed to be the Chairman’s bastard son last week, have anything to say as this mystery unfolds?

    Raw General Manager William Regal felt WWE Champion John Cena’s wrath after he announced a title rematch at Unforgiven between Cena and his tormentor Randy Orton, who attacked The Champ’s father the previous week. Will Cena feel any ramifications for his attack? And will his rage over his father’s plight manifest itself again this week?

    Triple H proved last week that his Game hasn’t lost a step, apparently putting Umaga on the shelf after bludgeoning him with a sledgehammer during a Handicap Match with the Samoan Bulldozer and Carlito. With Carlito anxious to exact revenge against Triple H for ruining his Cabana with Mr. McMahon, what measures will the Caribbean Bad Apple take against the King of Kings?

    In an impressive show of aerial artistry, Jeff Hardy was able to snatch the Intercontinental Championship from between the teeth of Umaga. What awaits "The Rainbow-haired Warrior" next week on Raw? Will the high-flyer face a challenge to his title?

    Find out all the answers to these questions and more when Raw airs on USA Network at 9pm et, 8pm ct

    RAW Results for 9/10:

    The show started with Vince McMahon. He said he’s glad his son isn’t from Green Bay, and ripped up a copy of WWE Magazine with Mr. Kennedy on the cover. He said he wanted to know who his son is. Great Khali came out, and said things are looking up can only mean him. He said he would be honored to be called the Great McMahon. JBL came out and said things are looking up refers to money. He said he could be JBM. Jeff Hardy came out and said things are looking up might mean his high flying. However, Jeff didn’t want to be Vince’s son. The attorney came on the screen. Vince said he hates all attorneys, including his own. The attorney said the son would be revealed later, but that Jeff isn’t the son. Jeff celebrated, so Vince made Jeff vs. Great Khali.

    Paul London beat Lance Cade. They acknowledged the tag title switches this week. Cade worked over London with a back drop and clothesline. Trevor Murdoch got on the apron presumably to interfere, but as the referee went to stop him, Paul Kendrick ran in and hit sliced bread #2 on Cade for the pin.

    Coach told Vince that he barred John Cena from the building. Coach then introduced the number 2 online vote getter for Vince’s son, Stevie Richards. Vince laughed uproariously. He wanted to know who the top vote getter was, and Coach said HHH. Elsewhere, Carlito said that he isn’t worried about HHH, because he is full of surprises. He said he would get to pick HHH’s opponent, and it would be someone who has beaten HHH multiple times. Carlito added that by the end of the night Carlito would prove to be HHH’s daddy.

    Triple H defeated the Shelton Benjamin. HHH threw Benjamin into the post twice and went after his shoulder. Carlito distracted HHH, allowing Benjamin a spinning heel kick and DDT. HHH came back quickly with a clothesline, spinebuster, pedigree and pin. Carlito came in with a chair, but HHH got that from him. Finally, Coach bailed out Carlito by announcing that Carlito vs. HHH would be no DQ, but only for Carlito.

    Randy Orton came out and referenced kicking John Cena’s father. He said he got in Cena’s head, and now Cena will make a mistake for him to capitalize on. Cena came through the crowd to attack Orton. Security held them apart. Cena told Vince that he will have revenge upon Orton for what Orton did to his father. It was a really nice promo by Cena.

    Mickie James beat Jillian Hall with a spin kick. Candice did commentary. Beth Phoenix jumped both competitors after the match. Candice came in to make the save, but received a fisherman buster for her efforts.

    Sandman beat Santino Marella via disqualification. Santino bashed The Condemned before the match. Santino grabbed Sandman’s cane and hit it with him early. He then tried to break the cane over his knee but failed and was in comedic pain. Backstage, Maria told Ron Simmons that she was thinking of breaking up with Santino. Santino at that point jumped Simmons, said damn, and left with Maria.

    Great Khali squashed Jeff Hardy. He brushed off Hardy’s offense and hit a big boot. He squeezed Hardy’s head for a while and pinned him. Batista came out after the match and cleared Khali out of the ring.

    The show closed with Vince McMahon and the WWE active roster. The attorney decided to eliminate candidates for bastard son through a procession of clues. It was very hokey. The son isn’t extreme, so the ECW roster left. The son has a fondness of gold, so the guys who haven’t been champion left. The son’s skin and hair are fair, so the non-white and dark haired guys left. The son is an individual champion, so Cade and Murdoch left. This left Sandman, HHH, and JBL. The son loves to play the game was the final clue. This left HHH and Vince. The attorney then clarified that the games include horseshoe, hopscotch and marbles, and that it was Hornswaggle. He came out and celebrated. HHH laughed at a disgusted Vince to close the show.

    Irish eyes not smiling?
    September 17, 2007

    Mr. McMahon didn’t feel like he had the luck of the Irish on his side when the diminutive leprechaun Hornswoggle was revealed to be his illegitimate child. Now that he has had a week to come to grips with his little bastard, how will the Chairman deal with the newest member of his family? Find out Monday night when Raw makes its way to Nashville, Tenn.

    One person who may be singing the blues in the Music Capital of the World is Randy Orton. The Legend Killer failed to win the WWE Championship after John Cena was disqualified, and he got a dose of his own medicine when Cena’s dad punted him in the head. Now he will face The Champ in a Last Man Standing Match at No Mercy on October 7. How will Orton and Cena react to the latest chapter in their raging rivalry?

    Meanwhile, hard-to-please skeptics are singing the praises of Women’s Champion Candice Michelle after she overcame the odds and found a way to defeat the heavily-favored, powerful Beth Phoenix at Unforgiven. But has she seen the last of the Glamazon?

    Find out all this and more Monday night when Raw emanates live from Nashville on USA Network at 9pm et, 8pm ct.

    RAW Results for 9/24:

    Coach came to the ring to start the show. He said Randy Orton was suspended indefinitely for what he did last week. Vince McMahon joined Coach, and said that everyone should respect him and Coach for their authority. He said that he would embarrass HHH, and announced HHH vs. Carlito and Vince in a cage. Vince guaranteed victory. Vince then said he owed Hornswoggle an apology. Hornswoggle came out. Vince said he didn’t mean the negative things he said last week. He just wanted to test Hornswoggle to see if he was about love rather than money. Vince wanted to know if Hornswoggle loves him. Hornswoggle said he loves Vince. Vince said he loves Hornswoggle. They hugged. Vince brought out Melina, who said she thinks Hornswoggle is cute. She called him Horny, and Horny jumped on top of her and they rolled around. John Cena came out and tried to attack Coach. Vince announced that the main event of the show would be a championship surrender ceremony. Coach would get to decide if Cena kept the world title

    Hardcore Holly defeated Cody Rhodes. This was a fine start to a fine feud to help get Cody over. Holly said Cody should be in a boy band, and he’ll have to earn his respect. Holly beat him up with punches and chops. Cody came back with a side Russian leg sweep and drop kick, but missed a springboard crossbody. Holly pinned him clean with the Alabama slam.

    Randy Orton in a recorded segment said that John Cena is a phony. He said Cena got disqualified on purpose, to get out of defending his title. Orton said he enjoyed beating up Cena’s father, and that he’s going to take the title.

    Ron Simmons beat Santino via count out. Santino worked over Simmons. Simmons started to make a comeback, but Santino walked off. Great finish.

    Melina and Jillian had a conversation backstage in front of the camera. Melina let in Jillian on a secret. She made an agreement with Coach that if she dated Hornswoggle, she would get a women’s title shot. Melina is disgusted by Hornswoggle. They did a comedy vignette with Highlanders and Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch. Highlanders lifted up their kilts.

    Vince McMahon and Carlito beat Triple H in a cage match. Carlito would fight HHH while Vince would try to escape. HHH would then fight off Carlito and catch Vince. HHH went for the pedigree on Vince but Carlito gave him the back stabber. HHH quickly recovered and stopped Vince from escaped. HHH and Vince ended up fighting at the top of the cage. Carlito distracted HHH and Vince escaped. They emphasized that this was HHH’s first loss since he returned.

    Brian Kendrick and Paul London beat Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch via DQ. Kendrick hit sliced bread number two, but the Highlanders ran in and attacked Cade and Murdoch. Another great finish. Highlanders are heels now, and feel getting destroyed by Snitsky in seconds qualifies them for a tag title shot. Which, come to think of it, does. The tag team division’s really heating up. Maybe they can fight HHH six on one next week.

    Melina backstage was in the shower. Horny was also there, but she didn’t realize it. When she figured it out, she screamed and ran off in her towel. Horny chased her around and pulled off her towel. Vince was leaving when HHH approached him. HHH challenged him to a one on one match on Raw next week. Vince agreed.

    Shelton Benjamin and Beth Phoenix beat Jeff Hardy and Candice Michelle. Jeff came off the second rope, but got caught with a Shelton power bomb. Jeff eventually made the hot tag to Candice. Candice used a drop kick, huracanrana and running elbow. However, Beth caught her with the fisherman buster for the clean pin. The best part of this was that they announced Candice as being from Milwaukee before she jobbed out. That way, the next time they return to Milwaukee, Beth will be a much bigger star for defeating the home town hero in her hometown.

    The finale of the show was the Coach/Cena segment. Coach backstage said Orton’s indefinite suspension was actually just for one day, and he wish had done that to Cena’s father. Cena came out, and Coach antagonized him. Coach wanted Cena to beg to keep his title, but Cena wouldn’t do it. Lillian then announced that Mr. McMahon said that Cena wouldn’t be stripped of the title, and he would be wrestling Coach in a tables match. Cena put Coach in the STFU and gave him the FU through the table. Hornswoggle McMahon came out to close the show and smiled at Cena.

    Game on for the Chairman
    October 1, 2007

    After teaming with Carlito to defeat Triple H in a Handicap Steel Cage Match last week, Mr. McMahon felt a little cocky, maybe a little too cocky. He said he had The Game’s number. Next Monday on Raw, our fans will find out whether the Chairman really has game when he takes on The Cerebral Assassin one-on-one.

    These two uncontrollable freight trains will bear down on each other, fueled by years of pent up rage and animosity. The match will punctuate several weeks of Triple H serving up just desserts to the Chairman by humiliating him over his illegitimate son, Hornswoggle. Is Triple H’s hatred for the Chairman taking him out of his game? Or will he make Mr. McMahon pay for his bravado?

    Also, in other Raw news, Randy Orton continues to indulge in mind games with John Cena and his family. In an ominous taped message to the WWE Champion, the conniving challenger implored Cena to bring his father to next week’s Raw so that Mr. Cena might see a preview of what will happen to his son at their upcoming Last Man Standing Match at No Mercy on Oct. 7. What insidious psychological trap is Orton laying this time?

    In tag team action last week, The Highlanders showed that their patience has worn incredibly thin over their lack of championship opportunities. The unpredictable Scottish cousins assailed Paul London & Brian Kendrick just as the duo were positioned to score the pinfall over World Tag Team Champions Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch.

    The surprise attack was an effort to torpedo their chances at another title match. Will The Highlanders naked ambition continue to make trouble for London & Kendrick on their quest for the gold? Can the high-flyers handle any other surprises the Scots have hidden up their kilts?

    The only way to find out is to tune in to Raw at 9pm et, 8pm ct on USA Network

    RAW Results for 10/1:

    The show began with Vince McMahon and three particularly unimpressive looking jobbers. Vince guaranteed that he would win against HHH. He then said that the three men represented different disciplines of fighting: wrestling, karate and sumo. Vince then brought out HHH’s opponent at No Mercy, Umaga. He destroyed the three, who were labeled fighting champions by the announcers.

    Jeff Hardy, Brian Kendrick and Paul London beat Shelton Benjamin, Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch. They only gave these guys about three minutes, which is absolutely ridiculous. They had a hell of a little three minute six man tag. The heels got heat on Kendrick very briefly, with Shelton giving him a press slam into a stomach breaker. Kendrick tagged Jeff. Jeff hit an inverted atomic drop, drop kick and whisper in the wind on Cade. He was going for the swanton, but Shelton crotched him. Kendrick then gave Cade sliced bread #2, and Jeff hit the swanton for the pin.

    Vince welcomed back William Regal, and asked him to look after Hornswoggle. Randy Orton appeared 'on satellite from Chicago.' He said that he was waiting for John Cena, and wouldn’t appear on Raw.

    The Highlanders spoke with Regal backstage. They said they didn’t want London and Kendrick, only a title shot.

    Hardcore Holly pinned That Jobber Cody Rhodes again. Cody went for a small package, but Holly wasn’t having that. He smacked Cody and hit the Alabama slam for the pin in around two minutes.

    Beth Phoenix said that it is just a formality that she wins the women’s title Sunday. She had Lillian Garcia announce her as the champion. Lillian did so, but then said that is assuming she beats Candice. Beth threatened Lillian, but Candice made the save.

    Vince McMahon beat Triple H via disqualification. Carlito was the surprise referee. HHH punched Carlito and went for the pedigree. Carlito gave HHH the pedigree, put Vince on top and went for the fast count, but HHH still kicked out. HHH punched Carlito again, and Carlito called for the DQ. Umaga ran in and attacked HHH. They fought back and forth until HHH got the sledgehammer. Umaga left at the request of Vince.

    They did another vignette built around Santino Marella trashing The Condemned. They’re insecure about knocking the movie since it isn’t very good, so Santino is really obvious in telling people to watch the DVD even as he purports to dislike it. Val Venis came out, and made some derogatory remarks about Santino. Santino attacked Val’s knee.

    John Cena backstage cut another cute Rock Lite promo that is totally inappropriate for a heated main event program. Cena’s delivery was still really strong.

    Mickie James beat Melina. This is becoming a trend, but the match was really fast. Hornswoggle distracted Melina, and Mickie scored the pin. After the match, Mickie went under the ring after Hornswoggle. Hornswoggle came out with her bra. He then went back under and came out with her top and bottom. Steve O introduced himself to Ron Simmons, and said Simmons could be tougher. Simmons threw him out of the locker room, and did so again at the end of the show.

    John Cena beat Mr. Kennedy. Kennedy worked over Cena briefly by throwing him into the steps and hitting a DDT. Cena abruptly applied the STFU and Kennedy tapped immediately. Randy Orton then did a run-in. He hit an RKO, then hit Cena in the head with the ring steps, then gave him an RKO on the announce table. Orton counted to ten, like a last man standing match. This was a good finish to the show.

    RAW Preview for 10/8 from WWE.com:

    Monday, Oct. 8 is Columbus Day in America, celebrating the discovery of the New World in 1492.

    Monday will also be a day of celebration for a couple of WWE Superstars in Grand Rapids, Mich. as they hold their newly-won titles aloft in front of the Van Andel Arena crowd, while others celebrate successful championship defenses.

    Just one night after No Mercy’s championship matches, Beth Phoenix and Randy Orton have won the titles they've both sought for so long.

    After a pectoral tear injury ended WWE Champion John Cena year-long title reign, WWE officials declared a new champion will be crowned in Chicago. And after a roller coaster ride of an evening for Randy Orton, the Legend Killer emerged with the WWE Championship gold.

    Orton was awarded the gold, only to be challenged by Triple H. The Game defeated the Legend Killer to recapture the title for the 11th time. But the Game's reign would be short-lived. Mr. McMahon insisted on pitting his nemesis against Orton in a Last Man Standing Match. After a brutal battle, Orton emerged victorious, clutching his precious WWE Championship. How will Triple H avenge his loss at the hands of Orton? How far is Orton willing to go to retain his newfound title?

    The Glamazon powered past Candice Michelle at No Mercy and will raise the gold in Grand Rapids. Candice left everything she had on the mat, but Phoenix proved too powerful to contain. Will the Candy-coated Diva seek revenge on the Glamazon? Or, as Phoenix said, has the Era of the Glamazon officially begun?

    We’ll find out the answers and more on Monday Night Raw, live at 9pm et, 8pm ct on USA Network.

    RAW Results for 10/8:

    Vince McMahon came out to start the show. He was pleased with Randy Orton’s title win, and demanded that all the Raw superstars come out later to congratulate Orton. He said Orton’s next title defense would be at Cyber Sunday. Triple H joined Vince. He said that he wanted to invoke his rematch clause with Orton immediately. Vince made Triple H vs. Orton and Umaga in a handicap match instead.

    Candice Michelle, Maria and Mickie James beat Beth Phoenix, Melina and Jillian Hall. The heels worked over Mickie’s leg, including a Melina stump puller. Mickie tagged Candice, who came in with clotheslines. She defeated Jillian with a northern lights suplex and a victory roll.

    William Regal was redecorating his offense. He had pictures of the Queen, George Michael, and Elton John. Coach made an obvious joke in response, which angered Regal. The British are clearly more comfortable with their sexuality, as evidenced by Regal’s haircut. Vince came in and told Regal to continue monitoring Hornswoggle. Regal told Coach to do that, but Hornswoggle was already gone.

    Val Venis was scheduled to wrestle Santino Marella. However, Santino said he wouldn’t be wrestling because he had another engagement. He said that there would be a substitute, Snitsky. Snitsky destroyed Venis and pinned him with a pump handle slam.

    John Cena appeared in a video interview. He said his focus is on getting better and returning. When asked if he wanted to get back his title, he instead plugged Orton having to shake the hands of other superstars in the Raw main event.

    Triple H defeated Umaga and Randy Orton via DQ. Orton appears to have the same belt, only it no longer spins. HHH fought off both heels early, but Umaga sent him into the barricade. Orton and Umaga double teamed HHH, who bled. Orton hit a drop kick and Umaga a Samoan drop. HHH came back with a face buster and went for the pedigree on Orton. Umaga broke that up, but HHH sent Umaga out of the ring and gave Orton a spine buster. HHH went for the pedigree again, but Umaga realized HHH was too much them, and attacked him with a chair. With the weapon, the heels were finally able to even the odds. Orton gave HHH the RKO, and Umaga a splash off the top and the Samoan spike. HHH was left badly beaten, and he struggled to make it backstage. Vince told him he would still have to shake Orton’s hand at the end of the show.

    Highlanders beat Paul London and Brian Kendrick. London and Kendrick hit simultaneous planchas. The Highlanders worked over London briefly. He made the tag to Kendrick, and the faces made a quick comeback. Robbie pinned Kendrick with his feet on the ropes. Highlanders aren’t very good in the ring, even with such talented opponents.

    Jeff Hardy beat Mr. Kennedy. Jeff hit an inverted atomic drop and leg drop early, but missed a crossbody off the top to the floor. Kennedy worked on Hardy’s knee with a half crab and chop block. Jeff came back with a side Russian leg sweep and brainbuster, but missed the swanton. Kennedy went for the pin, but Jeff rolled him over for the victory. This was a good match, albeit sloppy at times.

    Backstage, Hornswoggle turned up. He had been sleeping in a trunk, and attacked Coach with a cane.

    The main event saw the wrestlers standing on the stage. Vince McMahon was in the ring, and he brought out Randy Orton. Orton put himself over. Vince then demanded HHH come out to shake Orton’s hand. He told Orton to go get HHH. Orton started up the ramp when Shawn Michaels made his entrance. He attacked Orton and laid him out with sweet chin music.

    RAW Preview for 10/15 from WWE.com:

    Raw hops the pond this week to visit Birmingham, England in what promises to be a bloody good show. But while the Superstars will be hopping the pond, their rivalries will remain firmly entrenched.

    Chief among them: Randy Orton vs. Shawn Michaels and Triple H vs. Umaga.

    Michaels stunned Orton when he returned from spending months on the sidelines and put him to sleep with Sweet Chin Music. What else does HBK have in store for the Legend Killer? And do his plans include Orton’s newly-won WWE Championship?

    Meanwhile, last week, Umaga continued relentlessly punishing Triple H long after the bell had sounded in their Handicap Match pitting The Game against the Samoan Bulldozer & WWE Champion Randy Orton. After adding injury to insult, can Umaga really hope to leave Europe without feeling the wrath of The Game?

    Two other Superstars who will be taking their rivalry across the pond are Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes. So far, the veteran Holly has bested the upstart Rhodes in two hard-fought, closely-contested wars. With the third time be the charm for Cody Rhodes?

    In other action, Beth Phoenix made her Raw debut last week as Women’s Champion and ushered in the self-proclaimed Era of the Glamazon only to be embarrassed by former Champ Candice Michelle in a Six-Divas Tag Team Match. The Candy-coated Diva pinned one of the Glamazon’s tag partners to secure the victory and prove that she is still a force to contend with. Will the freshly-crowned Women’s Champion continue to devour her opponents? Or was last week’s hiccup a sign of things to come?

    To get answers to these questions and more, tune in to Monday Night Raw at 9pm et, 8pm ct on USA Network.

    RAW Results for 10/15:

    Raw opens with a backstage promo with Randy Orton complaning to William Regal about Cyber Sunday. We have the opening pyro then Regal appears on the stage, and it looks like Orton's facing all three Cyber Sunday opponents NOW in singles matches. Jeff v Orton is up first...

    Hardy/Orton goes through a commercial break. Jeff dominates early, and Orton dropkicks Jeff from apron to floor to take us into the break. LOTS OF HEADLOCKS. Hardy makes a comeback with a neckbreaker and a Whisper in the Wind, only for Ken Kennedy to interfere and push Hardy off the top rope. RKO and Orton wins.

    Santino comes out with Maria; insults Birmingham, England and the Condemned. That leads to Santino vs Val Venis; squash match with Santino winning by using the ropes.

    Carlito backstage. More Hornswoggle stuff here, with Coachman chasing Hornswoggle... Vince is backstage with Regal, and Vince insults the Queen and so on. Next match is Ken Kennedy vs Orton.

    Ken Kennedy is a massive babyface in Birmingham and gets a reaction to suit that. Orton v Kennedy is "quite boring" and the crowd aren't into it at all. Kennedy hits his wacky Green Bay Plunge on the mat, but Jeff Hardy attacks Kennedy for the DQ, hitting a swanton. Shawn Michaels appears on screen and gets the loudest pop of the night.

    Andy Simmonz (British guy) is in the ring, and Vince comes out to a huge pop. They announce HHH vs Umaga for Cyber Sunday, with the first choice being a street fight, . Out comes Umaga, who destroys Simmonz in a street fight. They announce choice #2: a first blood match. Umaga gives Simmonz a few Samoan spikes, and Umaga wins the first blood match between the pair. The final choice is a cage match: we now have Umaga v Simmonz in a cage. Vince spent the series of matches calling Simmonz "HHH". Simmonz took a lot of sick bumps to the head in the cage match - it'd be surprising if he didn't have some sort of concussion after this. Umaga won, obviously.

    There's a skit with Coachman chasing Hornswoggle on bikes. Enter Ron Simmons, you know the rest.

    Jillian Hall insults Lilian Garcia and sings the Spice Girls' "Wannabe". They plug Lilian's CD, and Jillian v Candice is next. Candice wins with the Unprettier in three moves.

    Backstage now with Cody Rhodes. Hardcore Holly walks up to him, and Cody says he just wants respect. Holly slaps Cody, and that match is on next.

    Out come Highlanders to insult England... Cande and Murdoch come out for commentary as we have Brian Kendrick vs Rory McAllister. Rory wins with a slingshot suplex - dead crowd for a poor match.

    Shawn Michaels promo saying he'll kick Randy Orton's teeth down his throat as he encourages people to vote for him at the PPV.

    Another Hornswoggle promo, this time in the diva's locker room, followed by "a long save_us.222 promo". Hornswoggle reaches the ring, chased by Coachman who has a box of TNT, which doesn't work. Hornswoggle goes under the ring, followed by Coachman. Hornswoggle "blows" the TNT... it was as bad as it sounded.

    Hardcore Holly vs Cody Rhodes: The bell rings and the pair lock up. Cody starts punching Holly and takes Holly down hard with a shoulder. Holly knocks Cody over the ropes but Cody skins the cat.

Cody takes Holly down for another cover. 1 count. Holly takes Cody down with an impressive drop kick. Cody gets Holly in a cover. 2 count. Holly takes down Cody and goes for the cover. Hardcore Holly wins after the Alabama Slam.

    Shawn Michaels def Randy Orton by DQ, match only went about 5 minutes, Shawn didn’t look too comftable on his knee, but was moving round the ring fine. DQ came after Shawn dropped an elbow from the top rope, Ken Kennedy interfered by attacking Shawn. Jeff Hardy came out to even the sides, but was eventually thrown out of the ring by Kennedy. Orton missed an RKO on HBK and accidently struck Kennedy. HBK then hit sweet chin music on Orton which was where the show ended.

    RAW Results for 10/22:

    Mr. Kennedy was in the ring to start the show. He encouraged people to vote for him. He compared Jeff Hardy to Hillary Clinton, because Jeff has no testicles. He then compared Shawn Michaels to Rudy Giuliani, because they both live in the past. Gee, I wonder who they want to win the voting with those comparisons being made in Nebraska. Mr. Kennedy said he’s like John McCain, because he was on the fast track before everything fell apart. Okay, he didn’t say that. He asked what you can do for Mr. Kennedy instead. Jeff Hardy came out and said Kennedy’s approval rating sucks. He attacked Kennedy. Randy Orton and Shawn Michaels joined the fray, and Jeff cleared the ring.

    Brian Kendrick, Paul London and Mickie James beat Trevor Murdoch, Lance Cade and Melina. The heels worked over Kendrick, who gave Cade an enzuigiri and made the hot tag. London came in with a drop kick and spinning heel kick. Cade accidentally clotheslined Murdoch and London gave Murdoch a standing shooting star press for the pin.

    Next up was a cavalcade of backstage vignettes. Jeff Hardy and Shawn Michaels talked about facing Randy Orton. Shawn said he couldn’t trust Jeff in their tag match, and Jeff said he’ll do exactly what Shawn does. Charlie Haas and Shelton Benjamin made fun of Cody Rhodes for losing repeatedly to Hardcore Holly. Cody said he respects Holly. Benjamin was really effective here as a heel. William Regal and Coach had a conversation, where Coach convinced Regal to make a match between Hornswoggle and Umaga.

    Cody Rhodes beat Shelton Benjamin. Cody hit a bulldog. Haas distracted Cody, and Benjamin rolled him up. However, Cody rolled through and scored the pin. The World’s Greatest Tag Team jumped Cody after the match, but Hardcore Holly made the save.

    D. H. Smith (Harry Smith, son of Davey Boy) made his Raw debut, defeating Carlito. He dedicated the match to his father. He hit drop kicks, a northern lights suplex, and finished Carlito with a running power slam.

    Umaga was ready to face Hornswoggle, but Hornswoggle ran away and HHH came out. HHH and Umaga had a big brawl.

    Ron Simmons beat Santino Marella via DQ. He said that everyone is in the new WWE magazine, including The Rock, The Undertaker, The Bret Hart, and Andre the French Giant. He was angry that Mantaur is in the magazine and he isn’t, and even angrier about Steve Austin. He was interrupted by Save Us. Santino threatened to open a can of butt whip on Austin, which brought out Simmons. It was mostly just punches and kicks, until Santino hit a low blow and was disqualified.

    HHH backstage said that it doesn’t matter what type of match he has against Umaga, because he saw doubt in Umaga’s eyes and he will see fear on Sunday.

    Beth Phoenix beat Candice Michelle two straight falls in a 2/3 falls match to retain the women’s title. Beth hit a tree slam to win the first fall quickly. In the second fall, Candice went for a series of pinning attempts but couldn’t finish Beth off. Candice went to the top rope. Beth went to knock her off, and Candice lost her balance. She fell straight down, landed on her head, and was knocked silly. It was an unplanned and scary looking bump. Beth quickly covered, and Candice was carried off on a stretcher. Nobody wants to see this sort of accident happen.

    Shawn Michaels and Jeff Hardy beat Randy Orton and Mr. Kennedy. The heels worked over Jeff, and then worked over Shawn. He made the hot tag to Jeff. Jeff hit the whisper in the wind and gave Kennedy the swanton for the pin. After the match, Orton went for the RKO on Jeff, but Shawn cut him off with sweet chin music. This was a good conclusion to the show.

    Viewers worldwide saw Randy Orton retain his WWE Championship against your chosen Cyber Sunday challenger, Shawn Michaels, through a devious - or desperate - low-blow disqualification. But for his trouble, the crafty Legend Killer also got a dose of Sweet Chin Music for the fourth straight week. How will HBK react to his unsatisfying victory at Cyber Sunday, and will Orton seek retribution?

    After a brutal Street Fight at Cyber Sunday, Triple H showed mettle with metal in defeating the Samoan Bulldozer, Umaga. Will the beast or his backer, Mr. McMahon, be looking to even the score with The Cerebral Assassin?

    With Halloween approaching, Mickie James won the costume contest at Cyber Sunday. But will she come out on top as the Divas face off in a ghoulish Halloween Costume Battle Royal on Raw?

    And after Hardcore Holly’s rescue of Cody Rhodes last week during a 2-on-1 assault by the Self-Proclaimed World’s Greatest Tag Team, what will transpire between the rough ring veteran and the son of the American Dream? Are these two developing a sense of mutual respect?

    RAW Results for 10/29

    The show began with a Halloween Battle Royal featuring Mickie James, Maria, Torrie Wilson, Victoria, Extreme Expose, Melina, Jillian Hall and Michelle McCool. All of the women wore their outfits from last night, except Torrie who wore an Eagles jersey rather than a Redskins jersey. Victoria had trouble in her sumo outfit, which was played for comedy. It came down to Victoria, Torrie and Kelly Kelly. Torrie hit a football tackle on Victoria. Torrie and Kelly dumped Victoria. Kelly then eliminated Torrie to win. Beth Phoenix came out and laid out Kelly after the match.

    Shawn Michaels came out and said he wants a rematch with Randy Orton. Vince McMahon joined him and accused Shawn of wanting to take Orton out. Shawn admitted this was true, because Orton tried to prevent him from leaving wrestling on his own terms. Vince apparently made Shawn vs. Orton for Survivor Series. Shawn then went to hit the superkick, but missed. They were smart enough not to pretend it hit, and Shawn instead acted like he was just showing he could have hit him.

    Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes beat Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas. The only reaction to this match was chants of Y2J. The heels worked over Holly, who made the tag to Cody. Cody hit a DDT for the pin.

    Beth Phoenix backstage said she is not sorry about what happened to Candice, and that she is glad to have crushed Candice’s dreams. Mickie and Trevor Murdoch then had a conversation where Mickie thanked him for helping her last week. Lance Cade came in and said Mickie is out of Trevor’s league. Cade told Trevor to keep his focus.

    William Regal was worried about injuries, and questioned Vince about Umaga and Randy Orton vs. Triple H. Vince said HHH is personal and different than other wrestlers whose health he cares about. Vince then told Hornswoggle that he needs to learn to fight for himself, and to hate others.

    Hornswoggle beat Coach. Mick Foley was the referee. Coach attacked Foley and brought a chair into the ring. Foley stopped him, and Hornswoggle used Socko to the testicles. He then hit the frog splash for the pin. Backstage, HHH said the odds may be against him, but he always has a trick up his sleeve.

    Lance Cade beat Paul London. London hit a crossbody off the top and huracanrana. Murdoch was moving towards London, but Brian Kendrick took him out with a plancha. In the ring, Cade hit a sit down power bomb for the pin. The Highlanders attacked London and Kendrick after the match to send a message.

    Jeff Hardy and D.H. Smith beat Carlito and Mr. Kennedy. Jerry Lawler said D.H. stands for Davey and the Hart Family. The heels worked over Smith, who hit the enzuigiri on Kennedy and made the hot tag. Jeff came in with the whisper in the wind, twist of fate, and swanton on Carlito for the pin.

    Santino came out and said he had a complaint with the travel department, because they prevented him from going to Cyber Sunday to confront Steve Austin. They teased Austin would come out, but instead Santino appeared on the screen with a fake bald head. Maria then came out and told Santino that Austin would be on Raw next week. Santino didn’t believe this. Santino is great.

    Umaga and Randy Orton beat Triple H via DQ. The heels beat down HHH for a while, and then Shawn ran in out of the blue for the DQ. Vince said DX will return next week.
