Is hearing Hornswoggle on
commentary on your bucket list? Then stop questioning your heart and join me
because it is time for Monday Night RAW!!!
Teddy Long is in the ring to start the show. The Smackdown General Manager is
here to gloat about the fact that last year Smackdown won at Bragging Rights.
The trophy is brought out and set at a table by ringside. The RAW General
Manager has an announcement, and warns that Long must get out of the ring, or
else. Teddy refuses, and instead heads over to the GM podium and moves Cole out
of the way. Long says that the Smackdown General manager has an announcement to
make, the RAW general manager is being disconnected!
Long unplugs the laptop, and then introduces Team Smackdown: Captain The Big
Show, Edge, Alberto Del Rio, Jack Swagger, Tyler Reks, Kofi Kingston & Rey
Mysterio. Miz's music hits and he makes his way out to the entrance ramp with
Alex Riley. Miz says it is time to introduce Team RAW: CM Punk, Sheamus, John
Morrison, Ezekiel Jackson, Santino Marella & R-Truth.
A brawl breaks out in the ring with both teams. Smackdown is able to kick RAW
out of the ring, causing them to regroup outside. Big Show says that this is
RAW, so the Smackdown stars will get out of their way – providing that Miz faces
him in action tonight! Miz agrees.

slam, but Drew kicks out of the cover. Smith lifts Drew into the air to set up

thing tonight and watch out for the Nexus, also please fetch him a glass of
water.
In the back, Big Show's co-star from Knucklehead is playing Smackdown v. RAW

a side note, I have been playing career mode in Smackdown v. RAW 2009 as Paul
London and destroying everyone in my path. I miss Paul London.
Meanwhile in the Nexus locker room, Cena has returned with the glass of water.

EXCUSE ME!
Vickie Guerrero makes her way out to the entrance ramp, and introduces the
Intercontinental Champion, Dolph Ziggler. He says that people confuse his
confidence for cockiness. Ziggler says that he is gorgeous, but that's not even
the best part. Because the most beautiful woman walking the earth is with him.
She makes his heart go pitter patter.
Daniel Bryan comes out on the entrance ramp and admits that he is not exactly
into girls, (or at least he isn't a ladies' man) but says that even he could do
better than Vickie. He may not have the great looks, but he has the ability to
capitalize on any mistake in the ring. And the ability to make Dolph tap out!
Bryan proposes US Champion v. IC Champion at Bragging Rights. Ziggler accepts.
But, Ziggler asks, why wait until Sunday?
Ziggler takes off his belt and jacket. Bryan runs at him and spears him to the
outside of the ring! Ziggler tries to break for the back, but Bryan catches him
and locks on the LeBelle lock!
A slew of face divas make their way down to the ring. Gail Kim has a bucket, and
attempts to throw its contents at Vickie. Instead, she basically just throws the
entire bucket. One of the other divas picks it up and actually empties it onto
Vickie, apparently it contained glitter. Vickie leaves the ring screaming.
Daniel comes back into the ring and looks rather bashful. He is really playing
up the whole not a ladies' man thing. There is music playing, and the divas
begin to surround him. Daniel drops the belt, and starts to dance. Well, that's
not exactly the right way to put it. Let's say that Daniel embarked on a
footloose masterpiece which included flips and splits. A split which apparently
hurt his groin a bit. Don't worry, the divas were all there to help him up and
make him feel better. I have to try that sometime.

Natalya v. Alicia Fox
Natalya backs Fox into the ropes, but gets caught with a strong slap. Fox
follows with a kick to the face. Fox decides to shout out "Calgary". Natalya
throws Fox into the corner, and then follows with a beautiful back body throw.
Natalya locks on the Sharpshooter, and this match is over.
Winner via Sharpshooter: Natalya
After the match, LayCool comes down the entrance ramp. They mock Natalya's
hometown of Calgary, where RAW is hosted tonight. They also make fun of Canada's
watered down beer, and say that the Hart's shouldn't be in the Hall of Fame.
They should be in the loony bin. LayCool enters the ring and attack Natalya.
Michelle locks on the Sharpshooter, and Layla takes a picture. Natalya is able
to break free, and sends both members of LayCool out of the ring.

In the back, Teddy Long is talking with Big Show and Hornswoggle. 'swoggle has
on blue face paint and a Vikings helmet. I seriously love the guy. Josh Mathews
comes up and asks Long about Bragging Rights. Long makes fun of Mathews for
asking dumb questions. Long commands 'swoggle to, "do what he does". Hornie
grabs a Smackdown flag and begins to walk with it. Almost the entire Smackdown
roster follows after!

comes out with the Smackdown locker room.
The Miz's music hits, and he comes down with Team RAW & the rest of the locker
room!

and chops him across the chest. Show follows up with another. Show whips Miz
hard into the corner, but Miz counters a splash. Show catches Miz by the throat,
and throws him out of the ring. Big Show rolls out of the ring after, and keeps
Team RAW from coming to Miz's assistance.
Long's music hits, and he comes down to the entrance ramp. Long says that since
the rosters are present, and Bragging Rights is only 6 days away, we are going
to have a Smackdown v. RAW Battle Royal!

Smackdown v. RAW Battle Royal
Hornswoggle is at ringside, and accidentally hits Cole in the face with the
Smackdown flag a couple of times. 'swoggle then attacks Cole! Hornswoggle takes
the headset and joins in on commentary!
THIS IS THE BEST RAW EVER!!!!
Forget the match, 'swoggle is on commentary! Seriously, my life is now complete.
There is crazy action going on in the ring, but more importantly, the best thing
since Bobby Heenan is on the headset. Michael Cole is trying to get back to his
seat, but Hornswoggle is fending him off with the Smackdown flag. Sorry, I try
to leave my commentary out of the actual recap portion, but this is simply too
amazing to let pass by.
With most of the wrestlers cleared from the ring, we are left with mostly the
members of each Team for the PPV. Swagger is eliminated and drags Edge out of
the ring. Despite being on the same team, Swagger locks on the ankle lock.

into Show. Zeke is eliminated by Show.
The Miz runs into the ring and tries to eliminate Big Show. It doesn't quite
work out. Edge runs into the ring, and spears Sheamus! Edge was never actually
eliminated because he went under the rope. Sheamus is eliminated and Smackdown
wins the Battle Royal.
Hornswoggle grabs the Smackdown flag to help Show celebrate the victory.
In the back, Wade is with Nexus and Cena. He makes Cena demonstrate what will
happen when Wade wins the match. He demands that Cena raise his hand. Cena
sheepishly complies, and then walks out of the locker room.
