Well, if you saw RAW last night, I’m sure you enjoyed it! I know I did. The best part of last night’s RAW was the return of Trish Stratus! But I’ll get more into that later.
To start off the show, we have Kane accompanied to the ring by a scared looking Kelly Kelly. Kane says that he was told by Stephanie McMahon to apologize to Kelly for his actions last week. But that he also wanted an apology from her for “leading him on”. I kinda like this Kelly/Kane thing. It’s a good way to have Kane back in the spotlight. Also, it’s a good way for them to use Kelly without having her wrestle. I like Kelly and all but she’s been used like EVERY week for the longest time and I just want to see something new.
First match of the night was Kane vs HBK. The winner of this match would be the first to go on to a Fatal Four Way Elimination match next week on RAW. I liked this Shawn Michaels, cheery...happy, almost hyper. Almost his “DX” self, if that makes any sense. It was a pretty good match with HBK coming out victorious.
Next match that I want to mention was a Divas Tag Team with Mickie James teaming up with Melina to face Jillian and Layla. For a while there, I forgot that Layla was a wrestler. It looks like she has been training. She tried some new moves but it’s obvious she still needs to work on them. But I give her an “A” for effort. Haha Just kidding. If I really was grading her, I think I’d give her a “B” for effort. I think it was a great idea to make Melina a face and teaming her with Mickie. They work so well together! They make a great team! I love Melina! She is definitely one of the top Divas! And her new finisher, “Last Call” is the coolest thing I have seen from a Diva in a LONG time!!! She gets a win for her team by pinning Jillian after the “Last Call”!
Next up was JBL vs Rey Mysterio...winner going on to RAW next week in the Fatal Four Way. I thought this match was okay to watch only because of Rey Mysterio. I love Rey but as most of you know, I can’t stand JBL! Ugh! Not at all! Anyway, the match ended when HBK ran down to the ring to stop Rey from hitting JBL with the 619, only to punch JBL in the face. This led to Rey being disqualified. So, this is how I think JBL is going to end up winning the match next week. Using Michaels! Grrrr.....Shawn is so much better than that!
Randy Orton won his match by forfeit as Batista was unable to compete because of the kick to his head last week by Orton. So, next up was CM Punk vs Chris Jericho to find the last competitor for next week. This match was pretty great. Both Punk and Jericho are fun to watch. They are fast-paced and both do quite a bit of high-flying! Just my kind of match! :) Jericho won the match after hitting Punk with the Codebreaker. Now next week, we will see JBL vs Randy Orton vs Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho. With the way things are going between JBL and HBK and after what Shawn did to help JBL win his match against Rey, I think JBL will use him again to win the Fatal Four Way next week.
Last match of the night was Glamarella vs John Cena and TRISH STRATUS!!!!! AHHHHH! I couldn’t believe it! I heard that she’d probably make an appearance because they were in Toronto but we were all treated to seeing Trish wrestle!!!! After 2 years, she doesn’t look like she has lost a step! She was fantastic! Even though this was a tag team match, it felt like the match was dominated by Trish and Beth. It was good to see Divas main eventing for a change, even if it was a “one night only” for Trish. I just wish it was a real return!
So, great RAW in my opinion. What did you think?
A RAW treat...

Batista couldn't make this show mainly because he was in Washington D.C. to have some oral surgery done and also to heal up from a torn hamstring muscle. They're saying he'll be out of commission for about 2-4 months. The Icon Known as Bl... |

Sorry late on this But I didnt get achance to read this .... |


The Kane/HBK match was forgettable, I don't even remember much about that match. it seems like Kane is used more for promos and such than anything else now and is not even being considered for a World Title shot. They need to give him a good new storyline and this Kelly one might just be it..it might just be a flop though too...Mickie & Melina worked very well together and their entrance was pretty funny hopping over each other. I love Melina's new finisher, it's just what she needed to go with her face turn. I thought Mickie might have been hurt last night because it looked like she was crying at the end of her match but, that doesn't seem to be the case thankfully!...If the whole JBL thing is a way of turning HBK heel without actually being a heel (if that makes any sense), I'm all for it. I predicted he would come out and make the save for JBL. The storyline is pretty interesting although I still dislike JBL immensely...I think Rey needs a high profile storyline, he hasn't had that much to do since the Kane thing and even that was boring...I thought it was great for Orton to win by forfeit, he's quickly becoming one of my favourites. I really don't like Batista but, he's gone until June at least so, I don't have to see him although I never wish injury upon anyone...I thought Jericho vs. Punk was great, that Code Breaker came out of nowhere!...Now on to the important stuff. TRISH! I predicted she would be the mystery partner for Cena even when it looked like Kelly would be because I knew they wouldn't put Kelly in a main event. Seeing Trish wrestle again was amazing, it's great to see what the divas used to be like just a short time ago. I guarantee Beth has never worked at such a fast pace before. For one night only, we were Stratusfied once again. I only wish that could be a weekly occurence! :)
