Didnt see a thread thought i'd do the honors ;D

WWE taped this week’s edition of Raw at the O2 Arena in London, United Kingdom.

* A WrestleMania video package is shown

* Lilian Garcia makes her way out to ringside.

Dark Match:
* William Regal b. Dolph Ziggler
- Regal gets a massive pop. The crowd starts a “you suck” chant for Ziggler. Zigglers gets out of the ring after Regal’s first kick. He gains control and gets a one-count. Regal kicks out and reverses for the win via pinfall.

WWE Raw: (Airing Tonight)
* Jerry Lawler & Michael Cole make their way out to ringside.


* Chris Jericho comes out to the ring. He cuts a promo saying that he’s done with Raw. Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat comes out to a big pop. Chris Jericho then challenges Steamboat to a match at Backlash. Steamboat accepts.

* John Cena comes out and gets some heat. He says he got a text-message from Vickie Guerrero who couldn’t make it tonight. It is then announced that Chris Jericho will take on Cena later tonight. It is also announced that Rey Mysterio will take on Big Show tonight.

* Chavo Guerrero comes out to heat. He gives an open challenge to anyone in the back. Batista comes out to a huge pop.

* Batista b. Chavo Guerrero in a quick squash match.
- Chavo complains that he wasn’t ready. Batista gives him another Batista Bomb.

* CM Punk b. Kane
- Kane starts the match strong but CM Punk gets the win with the rollup. The referee misses a cue and the segment has to be re-taped.

* Santino Marella comes out to the ring with a microphone. He cuts a promo while Santina is shown on the Screen. The segment is about her kissing The Great Khali.

* Beth Phoenix is out next with Rosa Mendes.

* Melina b. Beth Phoenix to retain the WWE Women’s Championship.
- Melina gets the win with a flip followed by a powerbomb.

* John Cena b. Chris Jericho via Disqualification
- John Cena comes out to a lot of heat. Jericho gets a small pop. Jericho later gets several huge chants throughout the live audience. Good back and forth match. Cena connects with the Attitude Adjustment for the close fall, but Edge comes out and interferes. Edge gets a big pop while Cena leaves to heat.

* Rey Mysterio vs. Big Show is up next…

* Big Show b. Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio in a non-title match.
- Rey gains control early on. Big Show quickly takes control of the match and gets the win.

* Randy Orton b. WWE Champion Triple H in a non-title, No Disqualification match
- Triple H comes out to a huge pop. Randy Orton gets a mixed reaction from the crowd. Lots of back and forth action with tables, trash cans, and the ring stairs. Hunter remains in control until Legacy comes out. Shane McMahon follows. Batista then comes out and accidently hits Shane. Orton gets the win via pinfall on Hunter. This concludes this week’s edition of Raw

Melina b. Beth Phoenix to retain the WWE Women’s Championship.
- Melina gets the win with a flip followed by a powerbomb

Hmmm steveweiser says They did the boot spot from the Royal Rumble. Melina retains with a roll-up. #WWE

thats i guess when melina goes to smackdown they want her to lok unbeatable

that sucks for beth though if she was able to beat her with a finisher

[Deleted]

Melina finally beats Beth with the flip powerbomb instead of a rollup? Wow, that only took...over 6 months.


Also, Randy defeating Triple H = rare excellence. He'll lose at the PPV though, but that was to be expected anyway.

That's what I'm guessing as well. They'll wait till after Backlash to enforce the split.

But damn, Raw looks awesome.

Eh I might peep it to see the interesting stuff.

Didn't Melina beat Beth with it in a tag match one of the first times she used the move?

No, that was Katie Lea (or Jillian), I'm pretty sure.

Might have been Beth but I don't remember that being the case.

[Snitsky]

no shes only used that flip move on katie lea and jillian

[Bong Buster Bundy]

Weren't they meant to tape some Superstars matches tonight?

[King of Fighters]

* Chavo Guerrero comes out to heat. He gives an open challenge to anyone in the back. Batista comes out to a huge pop.

Who else hates these moments with a passion?

[The Genesis of KoOS]

I bet Steveweiser is sobbing as of right now.

[Lair of the Shadow MaDaBa]

No Mickie, no watchie. At least now I know not to waste my time.

[Hiroshi Hase]

Not surprised Orton won, but to be honest in a month this victory will be forgotten.

[Steveweiser]

Edge gave Cena the Conchairto as part of the attack, just to add to that.

[Magician under the moonlight]

I'm still confused, is there a brand split or not?

[Sonic...SonicTruth]

looking kinda like a Jericho/Edge alliance. Also, now all of HHH's supporters can go "BUT Orton got his win back on that one episode of Raw that one time, so you can't complain about him losing at 'Mania, because HHH did put Orton over eventually."

I swear, watch Orton get the belt at Backlash by not even pinning HHH. It's only logical that that would be their way of 'Putting him over"

Well considering that HHH is the face, he should get screwed out of the title by the heel.

I'd rather the feud end sooner than later, as I didn't like it from day one, even when some thought that just because they brought up the real life marriage with Steph/HHH that it would make the feud suddenly better.

[Steveweiser]

Not really an Edge/Jericho alliance, Jericho left the ring whilst Edge was attacking Cena.
