The WWE Raw Recap - Hit F5 for the latest updates
We start the show with recaps of WWE Extreme Rules PPV last night. If you didn't catch the show, read the recap from Nickolye!
Batista is introduced next live on TV. "YEEAAAHHHH!", he shouts with excitement as the fans start a "BA-TIS-TA! BA-TIS-TA!" chant. "Well, as you probably figured out, last night at Extreme Rules I beat the hell out of Randy Orton and become five time heavyweight champion! I know... I know there's a certain sixteen-time world champion watching. Ric... Ric I love you, I did this for you man, I love you. I did this for you, I did this for me, I did this for all of you, and I did this for all of you watching this show at home. I did this for everyone who is sick and tired of Randy Orton!"
The fans explode in cheers. Batista continues.
"So, as much as I am enjoying this moment and enjoying this title over my shoulder, I can only say that this is the beginning. Randy Orton... Randy Orton has hurt a lot of people, and I'm going to hurt him back. This is the start, but like I said, I'm going to take his pride, I'm going to take his digni..."
Randy Orton's music interrupts and "the Viper", as Michael Cole called him, comes right out, dressed to fight. Cole and Jerry "the King" Lawler speculate as to whether or not Orton is going to come down for a fight. Batista puts his title belt down, unbuttons his shirt, ready for a fight. He's looking around, wisely trying to see if the rest of Legacy is waiting in ambush.
Batista starts calling Orton out as Orton gets closer, the fans start buzzing, Legacy does show up, Orton slides in the ring and Batista attacks him first, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase grab some chairs and try to slide in. Batista fights them off quickly, tries to finish off Orton with a Batista Bomb, but Cody Rhodes hits Batista with a chair from behind. They get Batista in the corner and beat him up. Orton with a front face lock on Batista, drags him down to the mat while Rhodes and DiBiase lay in kicks. They exchange places and Orton is able to lay in dozen or more kicks to Batista's shoulder.
As the fans start chanting "CE-NA! CE-NA! CE-NA!" to encourage John Cena to run down and interrupt this, Orton takes a chair and puts Batista's left arm through it, then stomps on the chair multiple times in an attempt to break it. Orton then gets down into Batista's face. Batista shouts back and says, "I'm gonna get you! I'm gonna get you! Because you're never gonna get me!" Randy Orton grabs the arm and pulls it backwards behind him, then snapping it completely back.
By the way, wondering why this is happening? It is because Dave Batista tore a tendon in his left arm at last night's PPV, as confirmed by his web site this morning. He's reportedly been working injured for two to three weeks and last night completely tore it, which explains why the title match was as short at it was.
Randy Orton grabs the title and holds it over his head as the fans boo, Legacy leaves with the title, the trainers run into the ring to attend to Batista's injuries. We go to break. Backstage we see trainers helping Batista through the back, asking if he wants to go to the hospital. Batista quietly states, "I can't feel my arm..." Batista is laid out on a stretcher next to an ambulance and lead out of the arena. We replay what happened just moments ago.
WWE United States Champion Kofi Kingston vs. "2008 King of the Ring" William Regal (non-title match)
Kingston is introduced first, we recap last week's title match between Kingston and Montel Vontaveous Porter which lead to Kingston's win, and then he defended the title this weekend in a Fatal Four-Way between himself, Porter, Regal and Jeff Hardy, coming out with the victory. William Regal comes out next and interrupts his own entrance music to make an announcement.
"Ladies and gentlemen," spits out Regal as fast as he can, "in these trying times the last thing you need is a Jamaican as your United States Champion! You need someone with class, dignity and self-respect...something that you don't have! I truly believe that as your United States Champion, I can be your savior!" Fans do not react favorably to this announcement.
We lock-up, Regal with a reverse waistlock, Kingston transitions into an armbar, Regal reverses it, Kingston whips him off the ropes and hits a dropkick. Kingston goes up to the top turnbuckle for a double axehandle smash, but Regal drills him in the ribs to cut him off, then lays in the punches. Regal shoves Kingston into the ropes, ducks down, Kingston floats over for a sunset flip, Regal sits on his face, hits a somerset senton, covers, two count. Regal whips Kingston into the corner, charges, Kingston gets the feet up to stop it, lays in uppercuts, Regal fights back, Kingston gets the upper-hand with some strong chops and a dropkick! Kingston snaps off the high double legdrop off the ropes, covers, two count.
Regal recovers and beats Kingston down, tries to go for the Yakuza Kick, Kingston rolls out of the way, recomposes himself, snaps off the Trouble in Paradise kick to the side of Regal's head before he can spin around, cover, hook the legs, 1-2-3.
WINNER: Kofi Kingston. Well that was quick and emphatic! We don't stick around for a celebration, though, we go right to the back where Legacy is discussing what they just did.
"He's gone, Randy!" shouts Cody Rhodes. "There's no way Batista can come back after what we just did to him! No way!" Todd Grisham comes into the locker room wanting an interview, spurting out, "I'm sure the WWE Universe wants to know..." Randy Orton cuts him off. "The only thing that anyone needs to know is that Batista is done, he's down, he's out, do you hear me? As former champion I have a rematch clause, I intend to use it tonight. Either Batista comes back tonight and face me as a man, or I win by forfeit!" Grisham sputters, Orton continues, "You think what I'm saying is a lie? Go ask Vickie Guerrero yourself! One way or the other, by the end of the night I will be WWE Champion!" We take a commercial.
WWE Divas Championship: champion Maryse Oulet vs. Kelly Kelly
Kelly Kelly is getting a second crack at the WWE Divas Championship. Great, just what I want to see, another squash of Johnny Ace's favorite blonde bombshell! Oulet comes out in a rush, but gives her usual fabulous ring entrance...
But what is this? We have Mickie James interrupting the entrance, bopping down to ringside and giving a playful wink and a nod to Oulet as she comes down to ringside for guest commentary! Yep, I see how this is going...
Bell rings, Oulet with a hair mare on Kelly Kelly. James says she wanted to come down for "a closer look". Uhhh-uh, I'm buying that, babe, I am. Oulet with a front face lock on Kelly, drags her down to the mat, they roll around. Lawler and Cole pepper James with questions about being ducked for a championship title. In the ring, Kelly Kelly tries with several kicks to the midsection, Oulet catches the last one, flips her backwards, they both charge and take each other out with clotheslines. Oulet recovers first, covers Kelly, two-count. James is asked who she wants to face, James says whoever the Divas Champion is when she gets that shot.
Oulet picks up Kelly for a swinging side slam, covers, two count. Oulet with a hand full of hair, forearm shot to the face, whips Kelly into the corner, Oulet charges, Kelly with a sunset flip over into a pin, two count. Kelly with a pair of clotheslines on Oulet, climbs to the top turnbuckle for a cross body block, cover, two count. Kelly with a hurracanrana, cover, two count. Kelly goes to the top turnbuckle again, Oulet grabs a leg and drags her off, snaps off a DDT, and covers James for the pin.
WINNER: Maryse Oulet. After the match Oulet talks smack to James, makes some gestures, then tries to attack Kelly. James slides in the ring to defend Kelly. Oulet quickly retreats and blows James a kiss. James blows her a kiss right back with another wink.
Sorry, Maryse, you cannot beat Mickie James with the lesbian-overtoned head games. She's got you beat before you even knew there was a match! *grin* We take another break. We come back with a way-too-long (about 3 minutes) recap of the Hogpen Match between Santino/Santina whatever and Vickie Guerrero, which ended up being Chavo, then ended up being a 2-on-1 match that Santino ended up winning.
Let me just say that the only appealing part of this match was that Vickie Guerrero is a MILF, I totally appreciated the dress and the gratuitous cleavage, and if she dressed like that every week on TV then I would not bitch at all.
We then go backstage to an interview with the WWE Raw General Manager Vickie Guerrero with Todd Grisham, confirming to Orton's rematch demands. Guerrero confirms that Randy Orton will get his title shot tonight, and she is confident that Batista will return to face Orton tonight, or face forfeiting the title. Grisham wants more details, but Guerrero blows him off, saying that she has a major announcement later this evening and walks off.
Backstage Oulet is standing around when Mike "the Miz" Mizanin comes up and starts talking, mentions that Mickie James isn't around. Oulet says she isn't worried about James, starts rattling off something in French, Miz cuts her off and says that her speaking in French is hot. Oulet cuts him off and tells Mizanin that he's never seen him beat John Cena, and until he does, they have nothing to talk about. Mizanin promises that he will beat Cena tonight, says his awesome catch line of "Because I'm the MIZ and I am AWESOME!", blows air kisses (which Oulet avoids like the bubonic plague) and then walks off.
Santino Marella, Festus Dalton, & Goldust (w/ Hornswoggle) vs. THE Brian Kendrick, Jamie Noble & Chavo Guerrero, Jr.
Marella, Goldust & the former Little Bastard are introduced before a commercial break, after the break we find Festus, Kendrick, Noble and Guerrero are already in the ring. Bell rings and Dalton starts out first, killing Kendrick with punches. Marella tags in and hits a nice kick to the back of Kendrick's legs, Goldust tags in and gets some clotheslines, but Kendrick recovers and tags in Guerrero. Guerrero puts Goldust in and beats him down in the corner, distracts the referee and allows Kendrick and Noble to hit cheap shots. Guerrero with a snap mare takeover into a rest hold. Goldust punches his way out, Guerrero grabs a leg, tags in Noble and Noble with a flurry of leg drops, knees and punches.
Noble throws Goldust into the corner, clubs him, whips him out with an armdrag down to the mat into an armbar/choke combination wanting Goldust to submit. Noble breaks it off to hit a dropkick to Festus Dalton's knees, taking him of the apron. Noble spins around and gets backdropped by Goldust. Marella tags in, nails Noble with a series of punches and clotheslines, covers, two count as the heels break it up. Dalton runs in and chases Guerrero out of the ring, fights him near the announcer's table. Noble takes down Marella, Kendrick throws Hornswoggle into the ring, Goldust fights Kendrick. Noble talks smack to Hornswoggle, Hornswaggle stomps on his foot then charges to the ropes, cannonballs into Kendrick to take him out. Marella schoolboys Noble from behind for the win.
WINNERS: Marella, Dalton & Goldust. We've not seen such an odd pairing since The Parade of Human Oddities... yeah, you remember that? We take a break, Cena vs. Miz is next!
John Cena vs. Mike "the Miz" Mizanin
Lillian Garcia doesn't even get a chance to introduce Mizanin before his music interrupts. Lawler explains that Miz just wants as much face time as possible. "Can you feel it?" says Mizanin. "Take a breath in... because this is the night you've all been waiting for! Tonight I go one-on-one with John Cena! And people have been saying that I'm all-talk, that I haven't backed up anything I've said about John Cena. Well whose fault is that? I have come out here week after week after week and called out John Cena, and what has he done? Absolutely nothing!" Fans start a "CE-NA! CE-NA!" chant in response.
"Oh, that's cute. You don't think that's bogus that I have claimed to be undefeated against John Cena? Well I think that all of you are bogus! All you Cena apologists making excuse after excuse as to why he hasn't come face me. I think you're all pathetic! Tonight, Cena doesn't have any excuses, no injures, no seven-thousand watt bulbs or whatever you call them, the only thing separating me from going 7-0 against the most over-rated athlete in WWE history. He may not be Tim Allen, but ladies and gentleman it is about to be TOOL TIME!"
We get a huge pregnant pause after Miz throws down the mic and Lillian Garcia introduces Cena, and even more pause until the music... then BOOM! THERE IT IS! Cena explodes on the stage and the fans with him! Cena salutes the crowd then marches down to the ring. Mizanin throws up his arms, referee Charles Robinson holding him back. Cena puts his cap on a kid's head, steps up into the ring, bounces off the ropes for a warm-up then throws up the hands WORD LIFE baby! Cena strips off his shirt, the fans pop, and a lucky kid at ringside gets an authentic Cena-worn shirt! Cena kisses his dog tags as he removes them.
But, we don't get a match yet! The Big Show still wants ANOTHER piece of Cena, and he comes down to ring side to make his presence known. Geez, isn't he like 0-for-9 against Cena now? Big Show comes down and steps up on the apron. Charles Robinson orders Big Show to step off the apron. Cena prepares for an attack from either direction. Mizanin tries to attack first, Cena kicks him in the midsection and throws him out of the ring. Big Show steps over the ropes and charges, Cena tries to put him in the Attitude Adjustment, but he's just too heavy. Big Show clubs Cena down, stalks over him, then lays in with the Camel Clutch backbreaker. Cena start's puffing his cheeks and turning red... then purple... and he closes his eyes.
Nitey-nite, Cena!
Wow... The Miz has THE BALLS tonight!He slides into the ring with a steel chair, nails Big Show from behind, then clubs him in the head a dozen times! Mizanin then turns around, shouts at Cena, and clubs him in the back with the chair. Big Show gets to his feet, Mizanin sees him and bolts out of the ring. Big Show steps over the ropes and threatens Mizanin. Mizanin scrambles up the ramp, chair in hand to defend himself. Mizanin finally walks backwards, cocky grin on his face, showing off the dent that Big Show's head put into the chair, raising it over his head. We recap the chair shot that Mizanin gave Cena, then back to the Miz showing off as we go to commercial.
WINNER: No contest.
Back from break so soon? Oh, I didn't mention it earlier, but there's a three-hour Raw next week that will give one hour of programming to Raw, ECW and SmackDown, with each show's championship being defended. Or maybe not, that's what it looked like. We come back and replay Batista being attacked by Legacy. Fun. We're again reminded that Batista will have to defend the WWE Championship against Randy Orton tonight, or forfeit the title.
Montel Vontaveous Porter vs. Matt Hardy
MVP is introduced next, he takes a mic after showing off for the fans. "Now, I don't really know what's going on with the WWE title right now, but what I do know is that if there is a WWE Championship match next week, I gotta be up in that mix! In fact, I deserve to be in that match next week, and I'm going to prove that tonight by beating Matt Hardy, and then we're all gonna be straight up BAAALLL-IN'!" HOLLA, PLAYA! Matt Hardy is introduced next.
We square off with MVP hitting a series of knees to Hardy's midsection, whips off the ropes, drop toe hold into a front face slam, cover, one-count as Hardy pops out. Proter whips Hardy into the corner, reversal, Porter puts a boot up to block Hardy's charge. Porter pops up on the turnbuckle, Hardy pulls him down, cover, two count. Hardy with a few kicks on Porter, drags him into the ropes and uses them to choke him. hardy bounces off the ropes and hits the leg lariat to the back of the head, covers Porter, two count.
Hardy with a front face lock on Porter, takes him down to the mat. Fans start rallying behind Porter, he gets to his feet, elbows and punches his way loose, armbar on Hardy, Hardy with a punch to the ribs to break it, then pulls Porter's arms behind him. Porter turns it around, shoves Hardy into the ropes and hits a beautiful belly-to-belly suplex! Both men get to their feet, Hardy tries to use his cast-covered hand for a clothesline, Porter ducks it, peels off a dozen or so uppercuts and punches, hits a facebuster to the knee, and then it's time for the BALLIN~! elbow drop to the chest, cover, hooks the legs, one... two... kickout!
Porter picks up Hardy, whips him into the corner, charges with the boot to the face, Hardy side-steps it, hits an inverted DDT, cover and hook of the legs, Porter kicks out. Porter pulls himself up by the corner, Hardy approaches, mounts the corner and tries to use the cast-covered hand to lay in punches. Porter pulls himself out and hits the Snake Eyes on Hardy, his own cast-covered hand hits him in the face to stun him! Porter finishes off Hardy with the Playmaker.
WINNER: Montel Vontaveous Porter. Great match,a nd I think Porter has a good claim for a WWE Championship match in his future! We go backstage to watch Vickie Guerrero's tits walking to the ring (Yes, I mean that - the camera was RIGHT THERE on here tits, you barely saw her face for a few seconds!). We take a break, come back and burn more time discussing last night's WWE Extreme Rules PPV, Jeff Hardy defeating Edge for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in a Ladder Match... until CM Punk runs in, cashes in the "Money in the Bank" contract, nails Hardy with a GTS, an enziguri, and a second GTS to become the new WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
WWE General Manager Vickie Guerrero's announcement
Lillian Garcia introduces our general manager, Vickie does look quite nice in a red dress and red heels, but she doesn't look very happy at all as she takes center stage. "EXCUSE ME! I SAID EXCUSE ME!" shouts Guerrero, with the fans booing her. "I know that a lot of you are upset because I granted Randy Orton a rematch for tonight, but I'm going to be a little bit honest. The last thing on my mind is making any of you people happy!" Guerrero breaks up in tears.
"Last night, I was in the Hogpen Match... I was covered in head-to-toe in slop and mud... I HAVE NEVER, EVER BEEN SO HUMILIATED AND INSULTED IN MY LIFE! You know, I was looking to each and every one of you last night to find compassion and sympathy, but all I could see is everyone laughing at me! I mean everybody had their cellphones and cameras taking pictures, and I could hear people in the audience saying, 'Aww look at the little piggy lady, look at the little piggy lady!' I AM SO ASHAMED OF YOU! Where is your decency, and where is your respect!? You know, I really... I...," Vickie chokes up. "I've... I've had it! And you think it is okay that Batista can show up in the condition he's in, and Randy Orton can just profit from his actions? Well I say GOOD! Because tonight that match is ON!"
The fans do not let up with the boos and jeers. Guerrero finishes, "I am tired of each and every one of you laughing at me, and making fun of me week after week! I have come to a decision... I'm resigning as general manager of Raw! In other words... I QUIT!"
Suddenly we hear the music of Edge, he comes out with a mic in his hand. "Vickie... Vickie last night I said some things in the heat of the moment... some disrespectful things that I shouldn't have said. So I came out here... I want to make things right... I wanted to apologize..."
Guerrero interrupts, "Alright baby, I'm so happy to hear that, I know you didn't mean those things..." Edge continues, "But, Vickie, then you did something... you quit. So now I don't need to do those things, and I don't need to apologize!" "What are you saying?" stammers Guerrero. "What am I saying? I'm saying the sky is blue, the grass is green, and I married you for your power! You see, Vickie, I want to be champion at any cost, and you no longer have that power, so you can't help me be champion since you quit, so YOU'RE WORTHLESS!"
Guerrero blurts out, "You don't mean those things, you don't mean it!"
Edge responds, "What, I don't mean those things because I LOVE YOU, BABE? C'mon, when we were out in public people thought you were my mother. Seriously, look at me, I'm 6'5", flowing blond hair, good looks, you think I should be seen with a SHE-BEAST? What, you think I should continue with this sham of a marriage? The only saving grace ... the ONLY saving grace is that we never actually consummated the marriage! It's fitting that your days in the WWE are over because so is this marriage. I WANT A DIVORCE!"
"NOOOO!" cries Guerrero as Edge steps out of the ring. Guerrero falls to her knees, once again holding her head in agony. Edge steps out of the ring and walks backwards, staring down Guerrero as the fans start a chant of "Naah-naah naah naah, naah-naah naah naa, hey hey hey, GOODBYE!"
WOW. That most definitely saved Raw, IMO!
OK, I'm not covering this goofy John Cena interview. Todd Grisham back stage with the stupidest question in the world, "John, you were choked out earlier tonight. What is your condition now?"
Uhhh... DUH? He's standing before you, right? Cena gives an even more retarded answer: "Well, I've been worse... I just can't remember when." UUUH, wouldn't that be TWO MONTHS AGO? 7000-watt spotlight, all that jazz? Cena rattles on about how he thought he was done with Big Show, and how he'll take care of Miz later on down the road.
WWE Unified Tag Team Champions Primo & Carlito Colon vs. Legacy (Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase, Jr.) (non-title match)
Well, this is surprising! Legacy is introduced first, Colons second, we take a commercial break. We come back with the match underway (what, could we NOT get a full match here? Maybe not babble on about that worthless fucking PPV for 15 minutes and unnecessary recaps?)
Cody Rhodes has Primo Colon in a reverse chinlock, Primo breaks loose, tags in Carlito, who runs roughshod over Rhodes.

Primo staggers right into DiBiase, who finishes him off with the Dream Street.
WINNERS: Legacy. We take a break as we see Randy Orton, with the WWE Championship on his shoulders, walking to the ring expecting his forfeit win.
WWE Championship: champion "the Animal" Dave Batista vs. Randy Orton
Orton comes out to the ring, DiBiase & Rhodes are still in the ring. He shakes their hands and then takes a mic. "First thing's first: Ted DiBiase & Cody Rhdoes just defeated the Colons, which means that they are the number one contenders for the Unified Tag Team Championship. Speaking of Championships, I hope Batista doesn't use what happened to him earlier as an excuse for not showing up tonight." We then again replay the three-on-one attack on Batista, injuring his left arm. We then see Batista being taken away to the hospital.
Orton continues, "Let me remind you what Vickie Guerrero said tonight before she resigned. I am entitled to a championship rematch TONIGHT. In the unlikely event that Batista does not show up or answer to the count of ten I will be awarded the WWE Championship BY FORFEIT! Now let's get on with it!" The bell rings and Lillian Garcia goes through with the formal introductions. There is a long pause after Batista's introduction, but his music finally hits... but no Batista. Randy Orton demands that the referee starts a count as the fans chant "BA-TIS-TA!".
Referee orders the bell to start the match, starts the count. One... two... three... four... five... six... seven... we shoot to the back and see an ambulance backing in to the arena... eight... nine... referee stops the count, tells the timekeeper to stop the match. Rhodes and DiBiase tell the referee to resume the count, insisting that he cannot stop. The referee is exerting his discretion.
Next image on the WWE RawHDTron: Triple H. With Sledgy~! Legacy scatter to grab some chairs. Triple H stomps through the back, sledgehammer over his shoulder, heading to the ring... Orton shakes his head in disbelief. Triple H's music hits, he steps onto the stage and the crowd explodes. Cody Rhodes slides out of the ring and foolishly charges at Triple H with a chair, and gets knocked out by the sledgehammer. Ted DiBiase, Jr. tries the same and gets the same fate. Triple H comes down to the ring and stares down Orton, anger and vinegar running through his veins. Triple H holds up the sledge hammer... then drops it!
Triple H strips off his shirt, steps into the ring, Orton ambushes him, Triple H puts Orton in the corner quickly, peels off right hand punches. Orton scrambles out of the ring, Triple H hunts him down, throws him into the ring side barrier, punches him in the head, Orton sails over the top. Orton grabs a chair and hits Triple H with it, tries for a second shot, Triple H counters it. Triple H throws Orton into the announcer's table, picks him up and slams him head-first into it again, then mounts him for several more rights. Triple H grabs a television monitor and starts to hit Orton with it, but Orton counters with a kick to the midsection.
Orton bails over the barrier and scrambles into the fans, Triple H takes off after him and catches up. Triple H throws him into the steel barriers in front of a section of seats, then onto the concrete, back into the barrier. Triple H drags Orton back over the fan barrier into the ringside area. Orton takes off around the ring, grabs a chair and slides into the ring. Triple H takes his time getting back on the apron, steps between the ropes. Orton charges with the chair, swings, Triple H ducks it and hits Orton with a Spinebuster! Triple H picks up the chair as Orton pulls himself up by the ropes. Triple H reels back and clocks Orton with a chair shot to the head, followed by a half-dozen chair shots to the body. Triple H uses the edge of the chair to assault Orton's knee, legs, the left shoulder. Triple H puts his foot on Orton's neck and slams the chair into the back of it!
WOW. Orton is selling like he's completely broken! Like he's been crippled for life! The fans start chanting "PED-I-GREE! PED-I-GREE!" Triple H sets the chair up... pulls up Orton's broken body... hooks the arms... and finishes him. The crowd goes wild. Triple H poses over his vanquished foe.
Well, I predicted in the AngryMarks.com/chat room that Batista's injury would necessitate the return of Triple H (which was already scheduled for a dark match return next week on Raw), and that happened. I also predicted that Vickie Guerrero's big announcement would also somehow involve Edge, and yep I was right on that as well!
So, the WWE Championship is up in the air, and there is no GM to oversee that as we go into a huge three-hour Raw next week. This will be quite interesting!
Don't forget, tomorrow night 11pm ET after ECW on Sci-Fi, the debut of Ring the Bell on the AngryMarks Podcast Network! Come back to join myself and Nickolye as we kick off the week in professional wrestling and mixed martial arts, and don't forget that WE WANT YOU TO CALL IN! Participate in the Round-Off live on the air!
