Diva Bowl

A brawl broke out to start before Layla flopped for the heck of it. No, seriously, it was probably the best thing about the match. Mickie took turns turning and burning on the heels before everyone began diving in the ring and doing Jersey All Pro set spots. Mickie hit her finisher and then rolled up Alicia.

Orton was in the ring and put his win over from the Hell in a Cell pay per view last night. He said he proved he didn’t need anyone to follow through on his word. He said John Cena might as well not bother waiting around, and he could come out and request his rematch.

Sure enough, Cena came out to the ring. He congratulated Orton on his win and put over what their rivalry had become. He said he did intend to use his rematch clause, but wanted their last match to be a special one. He suggested that at Bragging Rights, they have an Iron Man Match. Orton told him ‘not so fast’. He said if there was any rematch, it’d be on his terms. He said there’d be an iron man match but it’d be no dq, no count-out. He said if Cena lost, he’d be off Raw. Cena shook hands and agreed to the match.
