After a decent show at Night of Champions, RAW finds itself without a World and/or WWE Champion due to both Edge and HHH retaining. On tap, a rematch from NOC, between Kofi Kingston and Chris Jericho. Also, an update after Mr.McMahon's terrible (Yet hilarious) acciden from last week.
Shane McMahon makes tells the everyone to keep Vince in their prayers (Or something like that).
JR comes out to the ring for his farewell address. He puts over Foley, King, Cole (Lol, King Cole.. Get it?) and his new brand, Smackdown (Which gets booed by the fans). JR encourages to eat more BBQ and he's interrupted.. by Edge.
Edge just delivers awesomeness on the mic, putting JR each and every time. He proceeds to mock RAW for not having a GM or a world a title. Edge tries to leave but BATISTA comes out (And he is NOT amused). For lack of a better term, Batista just wipes the floor with Edge for the next couplf of minutes. Batista hits the Batista Bomb and leaves... BUT WHAT'S THIS?
Its CM PUNK! He's cashing it in! The bell rings and this is an official match!
CM Punk vs Edge (HOLY SHIT, I CAN"T BELIEVE ITS HAPPENING!!)
Punk picks Edge up, hits the Go2Sleeeeeep, and CM PUNK WINS THE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE!!!
Winner (And new Champ):CM PUNK
***** moment, plain and simple. Punk celebrates, the fans celebrate, EVERYONE celebrates!
COMMERCIAL!!!
Mickie James vs Jillian Hall
Apparently, the show didn't end when Punk won the the title. Mickie beats up on Jillian early on in the match. Jillian comes back and starts working over the arm that Katie worked on at NOC. Mickie tries to hit a DDT, but Jillian counters and continues working on the arm. Jillian misses a Handspring Elbow, James hits The Mick Kick and this one is over!
Winner:Mickie James
Rey Mysterio makes his way to the ring, we make our way to a COMMERCIAL!!
Rey is out. He congratulates Punk on the title victory and mentions how he was shocked to have been drafted at first, but that now he's excited for the opportunity. Santino comes out and makes fun of Rey for using a mask (Santino:Only stupid people, ugly people and Batman use masks.. And you're not-a Bat-man!). Rey makes fun of WWE magazine cover with Rey, and replaces it with one of himself in his underwear. Rey gets pissed, and hits the 619 on Santino (Santino continues to deliver the comedy goods).
COMMERCIAL!!!
We get highlights of Punk cashing in the MITB and WINNING the World Heavyweight Title. The Grish interviews Punk who gets interrupted by JBL. JBL calls him a paper champion, and challenges Punk to a title match tonight. Punk accepts.
Cena comes out to the ring! He congratulates Punk on the win, then puts down JBL for trying to bully his way to the WHC. Cena tells Punk to choose between either Cena or JBL. JBL comes out and declares Martial Law on RAW, since there's no GM. Some security goons come out and take Cena away. Of course, you can expect to see Cena at some point during the ME :shifty:
COMMERCIAL!!
Cody Rhodes & Ted Dibiase vs Two Jobbers (SQUASH!!!)
Fuck this! Cody hits the DDT 3 on Jobber A (Or was that B?) and he gets the pin.
Winners
Rhodes and Ted Dibiase
Post match! Rhodes and Dibiase cut generic heel promo #3812. Ted says that they took matters into their own hands, and that makes them, SIMPLY PRICELESS!!
Backstage, Katie Lea is talking with her brother about the Women's title match at NOC. Paul leaves, and Jamie Noble shows up and ties to woo Katie. Noble says that he will take out the biggest guy in the yard. He turns around to see Kane standing there. Noble spouts out some nice lines. (Kane you please stay out of my way before I knock you on your big red butt?")
Noble, of course, gets his ass kicked by Kane and ends up getting Chokeslammed in the announce table.
COMMERCIAL!!!
Chris Jericho comes out, and once again calls himself an honest man (Which is TRUE!) and challenges Shawn Michaels to a match at The Great American Bash.
Kofi Kingston vs Chris Jericho (IC Title Match)
Kofi actually got a reaction tonight. Jericho locks in an Ortonlock early, but Kofi counters to a roll-up and gets a near fall. Kingston hits some forearms to knock down Chris, then hits the Boop-Boop Double Leg-Drop, Jericho rolls Kofi up for a 2 count. Jericho with the Bulldog (Not a British Bulldog) and The Lionsault which gets him a long 2 count. Kingston reverses a Suplex attempt into a roll-up, Chris counters that into a roll-up of his own and grabs the tights... right in front of the ref. Jericho gets DQ'ed.
Winner via DQ:Kofi Kingston
Post match, Jericho gets pissed and goes after Kofi's eyes.
COMMERCIAL!!!
Once again, highlights of Punk winning the strap. Edge is outside the arena and he is PISSED. He berates Hawkins and Ryder, and even slaps them a couple of times as they leave the arena.
CM Punk vs John Bradshaw Layfield (World Heavyweight Championship Match)
The security guards make their way to the ring. Pretty good match, JBL was on offense for the most part. The fans were clearly behind Punk (Which is nothing but good!). Punk comes nack with an Enzuguiri and then hits the Running Knee/Bulldog Combo in the corner for a 2 count. Punk misses a Clothesline, goes for a Crossbody, and gets caught by JBL who hits the Fallaway Slam for a 2 count. Punk avoids a Clothesline from JBL, hits a Roundhouse Kick, and then hits The Springboard Clothesline for another 2 count. John Cena and Cryme Tyme, (Because black people have to fight together!) show up and fight with the security guards. JBL gets distracte, then walks right into a Go2Sleep as Punk gets his first win as champion.
Winner:CM Punk
Post-Match, Punk hits a Plancha to the security dudes, and the brawl continues until the show ends.
Overall Thoughts
! That about sums it up. Punk wins the WHC in what was the best opening segment on RAW since Jericho "won" the title from HHH years ago. The fact that Batista helped Punk, could lead to a feud between the two. Of course, both JBL and Cena have made it clear that they're gunning for the belt. The Santino-Rey segment was just hilarious and a great way to "debut" Rey on the RAW brand. The tag-match was just there to establish Cody and Ted, so that did its job.
I hated the finish to the Kofi-Jericho match, but it acutallu works to Jericho's advantage. Kofi grabbed the tights and nothing happened, Jericho does and he gets DQ'ed (INTRIGUE!). The main event was a good match for the time it was given (Which wasn't much) and the Cena-Cryme Tyme interference was a bit unexpected (Mostly because of Cryme Tyme) but it was different, so I loved it.
Easy thumbs up for this week's RAW. The first 15 minutes alone make this a great show. I'm anxious to see where the "Martial-Law" angle goes, because this has the potential to be huge. With Cryme Tyme helping John Cena, this might lead to Cody and Ted joining up with JBL (As they feud with Cryme Tyme for the tag titles) as they hope to take over RAW.
As usual, remember to read Kaedon's SD review, and as a bonus.. Make sure you read cena-buttocks superb review of Night of Champions.
Until next week. I AM OUT!!
