Monday Night RAW April 1 2008

The Intro doesn't play, 'My Time Is Now' hits instead. John Cena, The WWE Champion who retained against Chris Jericho at Wrestlemania last night comes out. With his arm in a sling. People in the crowd look scared as the WWE Champion enters the ring and holds a microphone.

Cena (In a sad voice): Ladies & Gentleman. You would of seen me last night defeat Chris Jericho but you would of seen something else in that match, you would of seen Chris Jericho nail a Codebreaker on me outside the ring. When I flew back I hit my shoulder very hard and awkwardly on the metal pole and injured it. Badly. I tore my pectoral muscle, now this is the first time I have done this so I am unsure how long it will take until I recover, most likely months. Therefore I have to surrender the WWE Title.

Crowd yell No and children are crying.

'No Chance' hits and Vince McMahon comes out with a microphone.

Cena hands Vince the title with a sad face.

Vince: Thank You John, I wish you luck in your surgery. Now since we are now without a WWE Champion, tonight we will crown a new one, that's right tonight the vacant WWE Championship will be on the line and I will announce the competitors soon.

'Sexy Boy' hits and the crowd pops as The Heartbreak Kid comes out.

HBK: Vince, Vince, Vince. We all saw me beat JBL last night at Wrestlemania, surely thats a good enough way to get a WWE Title shot.

Vince: Shawn, You are a very talented performer, maybe the greatest but don't you think it's time you let someone else have a bite of the cherry?

HBK: What are you saying Vince?

Vince: I'm saying...

JBL's music hits and the crowd boo. He has a microphone and stands next to HBK at the top of the ramp.

JBL: Shawn, you got lucky last night. I am a Wrestling God and I deserve the WWE Championship more than anyone. I am the greatest wrestler in Sports-Entertainment. I...

HBK: Alright, Alright JBL I beat you last night, you lost I think a win is more valuable then a loss and therefore I should have the shot.

JBL: Shut Up, Just Shut Up alright!

Vince: Both of you Shut Up Actually! What about this, maybe Jeff Hardy wants to cash in his Money In The Bank.

Jeff appears on the TitanTron.

Jeff: Vince, its nice of you to offer but I want to prove myself and know who I am facing rather then just cash it in and let you choose because I know that is what you will do make me fight someone like Umaga or Khali.

Vince: You know me too well Jeff.

'Break the Walls Down!' hits and the crowd cheer as Y2J comes out to the ramp.

Jericho: Woah, Woah, Woah. I deserve a rematch. Last night Cena was lucky that he got up in time to nail that FU aren't you Cena?

Cena goes to exit the ring and attack Y2J until Vince holds him back.

Vince: C'mon Chris. Lets play this straight down the middle, no playing around. I am going to have to think about this. Give me a while but I do guarantee this. By the end of the night there WILL be a new WWE Champion, as of now though, it is vacant.

JR: Well what an announcement by both John Cena and Vince McMahon and also another big announcement aswell is to be made tonight, when Charlie Cosgrove arrives he will announce his 5 CWA superstars to represent team CWA at Clash of the Companies.

King: What a big night on RAW we have tonight, but it always is a big night of RAW after Wrestlemania!

Commercial Break

'Line in the Sand' hits and the crowd seem confused. Triple H comes out in a suit and has a microphone.

HHH: Now you are all probably wondering why I came out to Evolution's music. Well that would be because Evolution is back, BUT it is different. We are still going to be the most dominating force in Sports-Entertainment but here are some new members, here are the members.

HHH points to the ramp and 'I Walk Alone' hits and the crowd give a massive pop. Then Cody Rhodes' music hits and the crowd are surprised, then stock music hits and Curt Hawkins & Zac Ryder come out.

HHH hands the microphone to Cody first.

Cody: Well, you are probably thinking that I was a member of 'Faces of the Future' well after their despicable, pathetic performance last night I told them to get *beep*. I then came across Triple H and we have since joined forces to make Evolution born again along with my fellow partners here.

Cody hands the microphone back to HHH

HHH: Thats right and we will be behind each other 100% just like we will be now when its Cody Rhodes, Zac Ryder & Curt Hawkins vs Elijah Burke's The New Breed. We will be accompanying Cody aswell, myself & Batista.

Winners - Evolution's Cody Rhodes, Curt Hawkins & Zac Ryder

HHH grabs a microphone.

HHH: That just proves to everyone what we are capable of so any challengers, we accept!

King: Well any challengers of Evolution certainly have their work cut out for them I mean look at that, they did cheat to win but the bottom line is they won.

JR: Well, yes I sure hope no up & comers see that as inspiration though. Anyway I have just received word that Charlie Cosgrove has entered the building and is ready to announce his five man team after the break.

Commercial Break

'Boom!' hits and the crowd boo as Charlie Cosgrove of CWA walks down to the ring to join Vince McMahon who entered during the break. Charlie grabs a microphone and goes face to face with Vince.

Charlie: Good Evening Vince.

Vince doesn't acknowledge Charlie's greeting.

Charlie: Alright then, lets just cut to the chase. I will announce my 5 men right here on RAW and you will announce your 5 men this Thursday on Rage. And remember if you lose, WWE is no more!

Vince: That is correct.

Charlie: Alright, my first man is a former World Champion and a current champion on my roster right now, my first selection is... Christian Cage!!

Vince: Alright then, who is your second choice?

Charlie: My second choice is a recent World Champion but lost it last night... Randy Orton!

Vince: I can't wait Charlie. And I guran-damn-tee that I will walk away victorious.

JR: Well hopefully Team WWE will match Team CWA's team at Clash of the Companies otherwise we will be looking for another job and WWE will be no more.

King: No doubt we will match it JR.

Commercial Break

JR: We have just received word that Mr. McMahon was forced to make the following match backstage. Umaga vs Gregory Helms for the Hardcore title was just held during the commercial break in the hallway and Umaga apparently decimated Gregory Helms and is the new Hardcore Champion!

AJ kicks out! Jeff hits the canvas in frustration and pins him again, 1...2... AJ kicks out again and Jeff argues with the referee then picks up AJ and places him in the corner and starts to slap him and wake him up for a Twist of Fate.

AJ comes to his senses and gets kicked in the gut by Hardy and put in a front facelock for the Twist of Fate but he pushes Hardy away to the ropes but on the rebound Hardy performs a running dropkick and lands on his back.

Winner - AJ Styles via Pinfall

After having a breather for a while and celebrating with the fans Jeff is starting to recover. AJ grabs a microphone.

AJ: Jeff, No doubt that was a battle of respect. I happened to win but thats not the point. The point is no mater who won that amazing match they would of earned a lot of people's respect and even though you lost you earned my respect.

AJ sticks his hand out for a handshake. Jeff looks down at it then snatches the microphone from him.

Jeff: What a load of crap! As if I could care about your respect. You wrestled in a loser promotion and expect me to want your respect. The only thing I took out of your little speech is that maybe I would of earned other people's respect because that is what Iwant. I want people to stop underestimating me! I proved what I am capable of at Wrestlemania and I now have a WWE Title shot whenever I want! No, I am not going to cash it in tonight. I want to show people that I can beat the champion not just take a vacant title. AJ...

CWA Preview

The #1 Contenders tournament kicks off this week on Rage! With John Morrison going up against Brock Lesnar, Goldberg going up against Edge and Booker T taking on Randy Orton after tonight there will be three competitors who will face off next week in a triple threat to determine the new #1 Contender.

Plus, Bobby Lashley and Christian Cage will surely cross paths in someway or another since Bobby Lashley is the new #1 Contender for Christian's CWA Television Title. Rumor has it that they will go against each other in tag team action.

New World Heavyweight Champion Mr. Kennedy will be opening the show also, no doubt the cocky Kennedy will remind everyone about Wrestlemania.

The Xtreme Division will also be in action as they will crown a #1 Contender for 'No Apologies' CWA's first CWA only PPV. Competitors include Sandman, Sabu, The newest addition to the roster Test, Matt Hardy & Rey Mysterio plus more!

Another match scheduled is RVD taking on MVP with Xtreme Division Champion CM Punk in his side. RVD lost his chance at a Xtreme Division title shot when he lost via the GTS to Punk last week on Rage! Could he show Punk what he is capable of on MVP or will MVP bluff his way through like he did to 'The Nature Boy' Ric Flair at Wrestlemania?

Make sure to tune in to CWA when its posted!

[The Leviathan]

Best Match: The Triple Threat Main Event and the AJ Styles vs. Jeff Hardy match

Worst Match: New Evolution vs. New Breed

Best Promos: All promos are really good and my personal fave is the opening one when Cena surrenders the title.

Worst Promos: n/a

Additional Feedbacks: Now, Chris Jericho is the champ just right after Wrestlemania and I was pretty shocked about it. You're really a Y2J fan! lol... I am quite curious on what will happen on the New Evolution Storyline, having the Majors and Rhodes in it is quite unique.

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

BM: Goldberg vs Edge was good, along with Orton vs Booker. I liked how the show revolved around them, altough one more Kennedy showing would have been nice.

WM: None, altough if I had to pick one MVP vs RVD, it was basically just to set the return of Ric Flair.

BP: Last one with Vince and Charlie saying their team members.

WP: The first promo. Kennedy was really in character, but Orton not too much.

AC: Nice show. WWE certainly has more star power than CWA in their team and I expect WWE to defeat them in their competition. I will be reviewing.

Don't forget to get your votes for CyberSlam.

 

[HulkStar]

BM: Edge vs. GoldBerg
WM: N.A.
BP: I liked the Vince/Charlie one and how you announced the Team members
WP: IDK I'd go with Ummmm The Opener... I was planning you'd spice it up..But it was a normal Post Wresltemania win....
AC: Great Show!! Will be Reading Promise!!
Rating: 8/10!!!!

Hey If you ever have a minute review raw on my 1st BTB WWE A fresh Start

 

[TRI]

Best Match: I liked the Goldberg and Edge match the best, as well as the MVP match mainly because of Ric Flair coming back.

Worst Match: I thought that the Main Event could have been longer, and it was shorter that the rest of your matches which was kind of confusing.

Best Promo: Ric Flair's promo seemed the most in character to me, and that was the most enjoyable promo to read.

Worst Promo: I really didn't like the final promo between McMahon and Charlie. I don't get why one GM would be congratulating every pick of team WWE when they are supposed to be at war. Kind of just seemed confusing to me.

AC: Pretty good shows. I wasn't really into your promos though. 7.5/10.

bp: opening
wp: n/a
af: idk about the m/e, a heel going through a gauntlet doesnt seem right to me, but it was a good show of writing

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

BM: Jeff vs Khali, for some reason I enjoyed it. I see a new feud going out from the interference.

WM: Big Show vs Helms, basic quash

BP: Opening one with HHH, Vince and Y2J

WP: Layla's one, but it's not like he has a lot of character.

AC: Decent show, altough I agree that a heel going through an entire gauntlet wasn't he best choice. Besides, the whole Charlie invading WWE every show is getting old now

 

[xtremebadass]

BM: Majors vs. HBK and AJ

WM: Helms vs. Show, a bit of a squash match, but I liked it

BP: Triple H/Vince

WP: N/A

AC: Really good show, loved the Gauntlet main event, that is a surefire in a storyline like this, great work man

 

[KroniK 4-2-0]

Jeff injured is going to be tough, but I'm not a huge fan of him, so it don't really matter, lol.

Best Match - Main event, I really like guantlets.

Best Promo - Without a doubt the opening one.

Worst Match - Big Show/Helms squash. Not that it was terrible, but it was a squash, and Helms is better than that.

Worst Promo - idk if I can think of one.

Additional Feedback - The show was not bad, I rate it a 8/10
