Gaining momentum

HAMPTON, Va. – Gaining momentum for Judgment Day was the name of the game as Raw
emanated from the Hampton Coliseum.
Just days before he will face Batista at Judgment Day, Edge took on Shawn
Michaels in his farewell match on Raw. HBK was victorious, but it was Michaels’
own pay-per-view opponent, Randy Orton, who was standing tall when all was said
and done. Read the whole story…
The Great Khali also may have the mental edge heading into Judgment Day. Through
an interpreter, Khali told WWE Champion John Cena to come get his championship
back. When The Champ took him up on the offer, Khali laid him out for the third
week in a row. Read the whole story…
As for Bobby Lashley, well, after being physically provoked by the McMahons
(thus voiding their no contact clause), it looked like he would finally get his
hands on them. Instead, when Lashley chased them after his win over Jonathan
Coachman, he ended up taking the ECW World Championship to the head. Read the
whole story…
Also on Raw, Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch continued to show the good
sportsmanship they have been exhibiting as of late. After Murdoch’s loss to Jeff
Hardy, Cade entered the ring, but instead of attacking, the Southerners shook
hands once again with The Hardys.
Santino Marella also continued to impress, once again defeating Chris Masters.
Piggybacking off last week’s title defense, the Intercontinental Champion was
victorious over “The Masterpiece” in a non-title match this week. However, after
the bout, Masters viciously attacked Marella and put him in the Master Lock,
screaming “you shouldn’t have messed with me!”
It was announced that Carlito will battle Ric Flair at Judgment Day, and moments
later, the newly liberated Caribbean Superstar defeated Val Venis. When the
match was over, Flair stormed to the ring, but the Southpaw from San Juan took
off through the crowd before the “Nature Boy” could get to him.
And with Women’s Champion Melina on commentary, Candice Michelle defeated
Victoria. After the bout, Candice motioned to the A-list Diva that she wanted
the Women’s Championship.
