One night after you, our fans, choose the matches and competitors at Cyber Sunday, Monday Night Raw pulls into the City of Brotherly Love – Philadelphia – for a wild night of action at the Wachovia Center.

Viewers worldwide will tune in live on USA Network to find out if the crafty Legend Killer Randy Orton retained his WWE Championship against your chosen Cyber Sunday challenger. Or will Shawn Michaels, Mr. Kennedy or Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy be wearing the WWE Title Monday night?

After battling in either a Steel Cage Match, a First Blood Match or in a Street Fight Sunday night, will Umaga and Triple H be healthy enough for action on Raw? Will the 11-time World Champion be victorious over the Samoan Bulldozer at Cyber Sunday? Or will Umaga arrive in Philadelphia as the new “Broad Street Bully”? You will decide the stipulation at Cyber Sunday and see its ramifications on Raw.

And after Hardcore Holly’s rescue of Cody Rhodes last week during a 2-on-1 assault by the Self-Proclaimed World’s Greatest Tag Team, what will transpire between the rough ring veteran and the son of the “American Dream?” Are the two developing a sense of mutual respect?

Last night we saw what happens when the fans get to choose the stipulations. In the WWE Title Match, we saw Randy Orton face Shawn Michaels and despite losing the match, Orton kept the title because of a disqualification. We also saw the Intercontinental Champion lose a non-title match. Will we see a new Intercontinental Champion in the near future? In Vince McMahon's desire to finish off Triple H, he will put Hunter in a handicap match against Randy Orton and Umaga. Which one of the Diva Search: The Silicone Menace finalists will win the WWE contract and which one will we see in a few weeks? Will we see Hornswoggle on this week's show?

Backstage
Shawn Michaels is walking in the back and we go to commercial.

We are back and we find out that Hornswoggle will face Jonathan Coachman tonight.

Shawn Michaels comes to the ring and he has something to say. Shawn says to look at who is back in the saddle again. Shawn thanks everyone who voted him into the WWE Title Match at Cyber Sunday. He says that he has some good news and some bad news. The good news is that he knocked Randy Orton out cold with some Sweet Chin Music, but the bad news is that he does not have the WWE Title. Shawn says that there are a lot of people who brag about the size of their grapefruits, but he is not one of those people. To hit his ‘bad boys’ you need to have pinpoint accuracy. That is proof that Orton tried to get himself disqualified. As the result of the disqualification, he gets a rematch and he wants it tonight.

Vince McMahon walks to the ring as only Vince McMahon can and he enters the ring. Vince and Shawn stare at each other and then Vince asks the fans if they want to see a rematch and become WWE Champion again. Vince wants to know what Shawn is doing. Shawn wants to know what Vince is asking. Vince says that he knows that Shawn wants to be WWE Champion again because he won’t squander the opportunity. Vince says that is what Shawn wants. Vince says that there is something else that Shawn wants and that is revenge. Shawn was sitting at home and thought about the man who came ‘this close’ to ending his career. Vince says that Shawn wants revenge because he has known Shawn since he was twenty-three years old. Shawn might have read the bible, but deep down in his soul there is something that is rotten. Vince says that there isn’t a thing that Shawn can do about it.

Vince wants Shawn to admit that Shawn wants revenge on Orton; and Shawn admits it. He says that he sat home for four months leaving the industry on someone else’s terms. When he returned in 2002, he vowed that it wouldn’t happen again. The next time he leaves is when he says so. Randy Orton tried to change that and that he cannot have. Shawn admits to wanting to make Orton suffer. Shawn wants to know if he has his rematch.

Vince tells Shawn that he should be careful of what he wishes for. Vince says that Survivor Series is an aptly named pay per view and Shawn has the match. Vince wants to know what Shawn is going to do with that opportunity and then Shawn sets for Sweet Chin Music but Vince barely avoids it. Vince leaves the ring. We go to commercial.

We are back and it is time to see the two finalists in Diva Search: The Silicone Menace as they try to show their talents.

We see footage of Bob Holly coming to help Cody Rhodes after Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas attacked Rhodes after his upset victory.

We are back and Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler talk about Candice Michelle’s injury last week and we see footage of it one more time. They warn the viewers about the footage. They show the move from a number of angles and then they talk about how Beth did not care and pulled Candice into the ring.

Beth Phoenix is in the interview area with Todd Grisham. He points out what Beth did to Kelly earlier and the footage from last week. Beth says that she has no regrets for what she did. What she has done is make a statement. These Divas want to dress up and be something that they are not. Candice wanted respect but all of the time that she has spent perfecting her craft is for nothing. Now she can tell her friends that all of her hopes and dreams have been crushed by the Glamazon.

Trevor is reading WWE Magazine and Mickie stops by. They start to have some small talk and Mickie thanks Trevor for pushing her out of the way last week. Trevor says that it was instinct and he is not someone who wants to see an innocent girl get hurt. Mickie says that she is not that innocent. Lance Cade stops by and Mickie says that she needs to leave. Cade wants to know what is going on and Trevor says that they are just friends. Lance tells Trevor that he cost them the match because they were not focused. Cade tells Murdoch to stay focused because he wants to hold the titles for a long time.

William Regal reminds Vince that he came close to having his face knocked off and he wants to keep Vince out of harm’s way because of the injuries. Regal wants to talk about the handicap match. Vince says that he does not want to see any superstar injured, but Triple H is different because it is personal. Vince says that speaking of personal, where is the little toad. He asks where Hornswoggle is. Regal opens the door and Hornswoggle comes in and then he tells Regal to leave. Vince tells his son that he does not want him to get the wrong idea. He says that Hornswoggle has held his own over the last few weeks. They are of the same blood but in order to be a McMahon, you need to stand on your own two feet. Vince says that Hornswoggle might think that he has not cared too much, but he has a theory. Every grown man should be knocked on his ass at least once in his life so he can learn that humiliation. Vince says that when you get knocked down, you get back up. You keep getting back up until they don’t have it in them to knock you down again. Vince tells Hornswoggle that he needs to know how to deal with victory. He will be successful. He says that Hornswoggle needs to learn to hate if you want to be a McMahon. He tells Hornswoggle to go out there and show that he can hate. Hornswoggle goes to the ring. We go to commercial.

We are back with the viral video

Hornswoggle goes to the turnbuckle for an elbow drop but Coach moves out of the way. Foley tells Coach to stand back but Coach tells Foley to get out of his way.

Foley gives Hornswoggle a ‘Little Socko’ and Hornswoggle gives him the testicular claw. Foley knocks Coach down and Hornswoggle hits a frog splash for the three count.

Hunter says that the odds might not be in his favor, but he always has an ace up his sleeve. If he is going down tonight, he is taking Randy Orton and Umaga down with him.

I doubt Jericho will be there tonight

LionDen
10-30-2007, 03:17 AM
To be honest, I am sick of hearing it every RAW, Smackdown and PPV that he is going to be there lol. Plus I saw an add for Clive Barkers Jericho, I wonder if that will somehow be involved.


Adding a few caps as we go to, they could be larger but the smaller sizes seem to fit better with the thread.

Can the people who watch WWE on a regular basis explain to me why they still have the spinner belt for the WWE Championship?

Oh, and why the hell do they need to spend 30 minutes each week plugging the Condemned on DVD when everybody already realizes that it was a horrible movie?!?

Thankyou for the caps Lion

lol Thankyou fro the coverage kellie :)

I am guessing they think why change the belt if Cena will win it when he returns lol save a couple of dollars. They might change it yet, it was only handed to Randy orton, if someone wins it legitimately, they might change it to their liking.

As for the Condemned, they are trying to squueze every cent they can out of it and also, it helps RAW because alot of fans will tune in to see Stone Cold next week and this is a good reason for him to be there.

Yeah I guess I see what you mean about the build up to Stone Cold next week, but it seems to me like they're in such bad shape right now. For their "premiere" show, Vince's big draw is a guy who hasn't wrestled a decent match in over 5 years!

Usually I would use the old "well once Jericho debuts..." bit, but after the looooong draw out I'm kind of over him already.
