Big Show and Chris Jericho
came out to the ring with the Trophy from last night. Big Show said it didn’t
matter what he did last night, he was a proud member of Raw. Jericho said he
didn’t need to explain it to ‘these people’. He said he understood that Big Show
did it because their friendship was more important. Show said he had something
to say, but Jericho cut him off and thanked him more. Jericho kept on going
while Big Show couldn’t get a word in edge-wise. Show said what he did he did
for him. He said there’s one thing that was more important to him than anything
else and that was his career. He said he could be on both shows and he struck a
deal. He said because Smackdown won Bragging Rights, he won himself a title shot
against the Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Championship.
Jericho was upset and said nothing got approved by him. They bickered back and
forth before they were interrupted by two NASCARS blowing doughnuts in the
parking garage before they drove into the arena. Kyle Bush and Joey Lagano got
out of their cars and made their way to the ring as the Bella Twins escorted to
them to the ring. The two got on the mic and expressed their displeasure at what
happened last night. Bush seemed to play heel and he congratulated Big Show. He
said Joey was young and dumb and obviously didn’t know anything about
championships. Joey fired back and the two went back and forth. Big Show would
have to face Triple H tonight and Kofi Kingston will face Chris Jericho. The two
really struggled to deliver their lines.. Kofi Kingston is now ‘Kofi Johnston’.
Yikes. Great from a content point of view, but these two couldn’t deliver it.

Chris Jericho vs. Kofi Kingston
The two circled it up before Jericho bailed to the outside quick and stalled
some. Jericho attempted a low-blow, only to whip Kofi to the corner. Jericho
tried a splash in the corner but ate some boots to the grill and a drop kick for
a two count.
Kofi grabbed an arm bar and dropped a big knee across Jericho’s arm but Jericho
was able to get to the ropes. He tossed aw thumb in Kofi’s eyes before choking
him out on the second rope. Jericho got a little lazy and almost got pinned with
a small package before immediately kicking out and responding with a kick to the
ribs. He slapped on a side headlock while Kofi tried to milk the crowd.
Kofi fought out of the headlock and the two cris crossed until Kofi hit a back
leg kick that sent Jericho reeling to the outside. Kofi hit a tope to the
outside before bringing Jericho back into the ring and hitting a series of
mounted punches in the corner. Jericho countered the spot with a desperation
power bomb that left both laid out on the mat.
Kofi fought to his feet only to eat a drop kick out on the apron that sent him
clattering to the floor.

Jericho continued to work over Kingston, hitting a sling shot into the bottom
rope before slapping on a cross face. Kingston fought out only to eat a big back
elbow that ended with him kicking out of a two count. Jericho kept talking
smack, kicking him around and slapping him in the corner. The two exchanged
strikes moving out of the corner and it moved into Jericho’s whip/bulldog combo,
only for Kofi to fling Jericho into the corner on the bulldog attempt.
Kofi came back with two drop kicks and went for the boom drop, and connected,
only for Jericho to attempt the Walls of Jericho. Kofi powered out only for
Jericho to hit an enzeguri and snag another near fall. Jericho whipped Kofi to
the buckles, only for Kofi to counter with some knees to the face. Kofi went to
the top buckles only for Jericho to cut him off. The two fought back and forth
on the top rope before Kofi tossed him off hard way. He hit a big cross body
only for Jericho to roll through for a great near fall.
Kofi hit a side-Russian leg sweep. He went for Trouble in Paradise only for
Jericho to counter with the Walls of Jericho. Kofi hit a great small package
counter for a two and walked straight into a code breaker. Jericho went for the
cover, but Kingston kicked out. Jericho thought he had won, and argued with the
ref only to charge back at Kofi and eat a big Trouble in Paradise. Kofi made the
cover for the win.
Winner: Kofi Kingston via pin fall
After the match Kofi celebrated on his way up the ramp before Randy Orton jumped
out and threw him to the floor. Looks like Randy-Kofi.

Josh Matthews asked Randy Orton why he jumped Kofi. He said Kofi stuck his nose
in where it didn’t belong. He said he was pursuing justice. Cody and Ted showed
up to give him a gift as a symbol of their gratitude and showed him a NASCAR
with his image on it. Orton said the car was incredible. Ted said they had had
their issues lately, but this was to mend the bridges. They said that wasn’t
their only surprise. They had something regarding John Cena and the WWE
Championship later. Orton was transfixed on the car.
Bush and Lagano are with Eve Torres in the back. Jack Swagger walked in to lobby
for a WWE title shot. The Miz interrupted and said since he was the only person
from the Raw brand who won last night so he should get the shot.
Santino and Melina are walking to the ring.

Chavo Guererro & Jillian Hall vs. Santino Marella & Melina
Santino whipped Chavo and scored a big back drop and a European uppercut. He
went for the Sailor’s head butt but whiffed by a mile. Chavo kicked him in the
gut a few times before choking him out in the corner and getting a two count.
Chavo continued to boot away on Santino in the corner before he did a cart wheel
and a split-arm drag counter. He hit some right hands and a ‘duck’ to the face.
Jillian tagged in and slapped him before Melina tagged in.
Melina and Jillian went back and forth before Jillian cold-cocked her with a
lariat. Hornswoggle showed up yet again and distracted Jillian. They botched the
sunset driver before just hitting the final cut. He celebrated with Santino and
company in the ring.

Some guy in a suit showed up and handed a green envelop to Hornswoggle.
Hornswoggle read it and wasn’t too excited. DX sent him a cease and desist
letter.
WWE Champion John Cena is in the back heading to the ring.
****Commercial****
They went to introduce John Cena but the Legacy interrupted and came out. They
said Randy Orton couldn’t challenge for the WWE Championship, but they could.
They said at Survivor Series they’d take the title from Cena themselves.
Cena came out to the ring and said he didn’t have to brag about what happened
last night. He said it was the best in the company facing each other in one
final match. He put over how important the match was. Cena started making fun of
them. He wants to know how long they’ve been running around in circles. People
are tired of seeing the same stuff. John Cena said he earned the right to say
‘no more’. He said whoever wanted a shot at his title could get one, but they
had to earn it.
Cena said frankly, they hadn’t earned it. He said they could try and prove
themselves a little bit, against their opponents right now… Mark Henry and MVP.

Mark Henry & MVP vs. The Legacy
We came back to Cody working over MVP. Rhodes hit some rights and lefts, backing
MVP up before slapping on a chin lock. MVP fought out off the hold and tagged in
Mark Henry who hit a huge head butt. Henry picked up Rhodes and choked him, but
Dibiase hit a big chop block.
The two worked over Henry on the mat with stomps. They worked over him for a few
minutes before MVP caught a hot tag. MVP had to really work to get the crowd
interested before popping a ballin’ elbow. MVP hit a sunset flip for a three
count and that’s that.
Winners: MVP & Mark Henry via pin fall
After the match, Randy Orton came out to address the crowd. He said the guest
opponents are looking to find his next opponents and it officially looks as if
it’s not him. He understood the terms of his terms last night, but he didn’t
care. He said he’d do whatever he had to do to get back what was his. Kofi
Kingston interrupted him on the titan tron. He said Orton lost and no one cared
what he had to say.
He was with Orton’s NASCAR and totally destroyed it, keying it, caving in the
windshield, hitting it with a crowbar and dumping paint on it. Safe to say they
have butt hurt.

The Miz vs. Evan Bourne
The two locked it up before Miz caught a knee to the mid section. Miz hit a boot
to the side of the head and whipped Bourne, only for Evan to throw on the
breaks. Miz tripped him up and got a one count before the two traded kicks.
Miz loaded Bourne up and hit a back drop before going for a second cover and
getting a two count this tie. Miz started tearing at Bourne’s hair before
picking him up and looking for a bow and arrow. Evan fought out and hit some
kicks to Miz’s legs and one to his backs before hitting a beautiful
hurricanranna for a two count.

Swagger showed up on the scene. Swagger got on the mic and they began talking
about Eve. Miz went out to confront him before Bourne hit a suicida on both.
Bourne beat the 10 count and won the match.
Winner: Evan Bourne via count out
Miz was furious that Swagger cost him the match afterwards.

that’s that.

wrote.
