Bulldozer-Slayer

COLUMBUS, OHIO - Triple H showed Umaga’s bloody skull for everyone – especially
Carlito – to see. In his first match on Raw this year on Monday night, The Game
dispelled any doubt that he was truly back when he pulled off a feat no other
Superstar had been able to accomplish. He bloodied and appeared to severely
injure Umaga with his sledgehammer after the Samoan Bulldozer and Carlito
attempted to brutalize him in a Handicap Match.
Triple H was originally scheduled to face Carlito in one-on-one competition
after he had humiliated the Caribbean Bad Apple on Raw last week. However, a
vindictive Mr. McMahon changed the bout into a Handicap Match. At first, it
seemed the Samoan Bulldozer and Carlito would overwhelm the 10-time World
Champion, but he evened the odds with his trusty sledgehammer. The King of Kings
proved not only that he’s out for blood, but that any opponent who thinks
otherwise does so at their own peril. Beware Carlito.
Umaga’s humiliation punctuated a bad night for him on Raw. Earlier, he had lost
the Intercontinental Championship to Jeff Hardy.

Things ‘Looking Up’ for Chairman
Mr. Kennedy interrupted Mr. McMahon as he attempted to make amends with his
family, Linda, Shane and Stephanie. Kennedy claimed to be the Chairman’s
illegitimate son, but a lawyer for the mystery woman who filed a paternity suit
against Mr. McMahon said DNA tests showed the loudmouthed Superstar was not the
child. The identity of the bastard Superstar will be revealed next week on Raw,
but the lawyer did drop a clue by saying, “Things are looking up.” Story...
The Champ’s Rage
Raw General Manager William Regal found out the hard way that Randy Orton’s
despicable attack on John Cena’s father may have created a monster. After Regal
arranged a title rematch between the WWE Champion and the Legend Killer at
Unforgiven, an intense Cena marched into the ring and locked him in a STFU for
several minutes. Story...
Glamazon Lays Down Gauntlet
Glamazon Beth Phoenix continued her Diva dominance by woman-handling Maria for a
second week in a row and informing our fans that she plans to cash in her
opportunity to challenge Candice Michelle for the WWE Women’s Championship at
Unforgiven.
Santino Gets Spanked
Santino Marella accompanied Maria to the ring prior to her match, but insulted
our fans and Sandman with his holier-than-thou attitude and obnoxious
commentary. Sandman caned Santino over the head and embarrassed him in front of
his “girlfriend.”
Tag Team Showdown at Unforgiven
The aerial acrobatics of Paul London & Brian Kendrick proved to be enough to
defeat the Self-Proclaimed World’s Greatest Tag Team of Charlie Haas & Shelton
Benjamin. As a result, London & Kendrick are the new No. 1 contenders to the
World Tag Team Championship, and will challenge Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch at
Unforgiven.
Don’t Go Breaking My Heart
In a Mixed Tag Team Match, Cody Rhodes teamed up with Mickie James to defeat the
odd, singing duo of Jillian Hall & Daivari.
