"Ladies and gentlemen of the WWE Universe, I think you can agree with me when I say that what WWE lacked last week on Raw and what the WWE lacked this past Sunday at Hell In a Cell, they made up for last night on Raw with Ben Rothlisberger from the Pittsburgh Steelers as the guest host last night.
"And what a way to start Monday Night Raw with the first ever Diva Bowl. That had the crowd going crazy.
IN PITTSBURGH STEELERS UNIFORMS:
Mickie James
Kelly Kelly
The Bella Twins
Melina
Eve
IN PHILADELPHIA EAGLES UNIFORMS
Michelle McCool
Beth Phoenix
Rosa Mendes
Alicia Fox
Jillian Hall
Layla
Natalya
"Gail Kim was the acting referee, and what a match that it was. Just about everything and anything that could happen, did happen in this match. And what a way to return the favor to millions of WWE fans who happen to be football fans as well, and after coming off a huge win over Alicia Fox, it was James across the goal line, getting a win for her team as she scored the pinfall over her leggy rival, Alicia Fox."
Quick note: Did you also see the catfight between all the divas afterwards? Poor Santino Marella picked a bad time to be a referee-- LOL
"Rothlisberger came back out for a second time and just when he was ready to talk, he was interrupted by the Big Show and Chris Jericho. Rothlisberger had a feeling that something like that was going to happen, so he had some backup of his own in the form of some of his teammates from the Steelers.
"Then shortly thereafter, here comes Degeneration X coming of a costly win over the Legacy at Hell In a Cell. Shawn Micheals on DX's behalf, issued a challenge to Jerishow for a match, but they refused. Rothlisberger, however made the match official.
"In the early stages of the match, it was in favor of the Big Show and Jericho, but when things turned in favor of DX, and after the Big Show was clotheslined over the ringside wall, and Jericho was in the ring all alone, Jericho tried to escape, but was cut off by Rothlisberger and the offensive line from the Steelers, and DX came from behind and took Jericho back to the ring and Shawn Micheals gave Jericho some Sweet Chin Music. Jericho and Big Show came up short against Degeneration X.
"Great match to end Raw last night, great, great match!!!!"
Quick note: Oh, and let's not forget Rothlisberger, the Steelers' o-line and DX doin' the DX chop together twice! Classic, classic moment right there.
"Earlier in the night, Rothlisberger was confronted by the Miz, asking for a United States Championship match against Kofi Kingston. Now you know how the Miz always says that he is awesome? Well, Rothelisberger added one stipulation, and that was if the Miz lost, he had to say in front of the WWE Universe, 'I'm the Miz, and I'm awful.' Well, you can't really say that about his wrestling skills at all.
"I'm wondering if the Miz was watching the triple threat from Hell In a Cell, because he had to have a whole new gameplan going into this match.
"Kingston went for the cover on The Miz and only got a 2 count when the Miz grabbed the ropes. Kingston tried bringing the Miz back in the ring and was clotheslined by the Miz. The Miz went for a high knee and Kingston countered and went for a backslide and only got a 2 count. The match continued to go back and forth, then Kingston went for a high cross body, but The Miz rolled over and got yet another nearfall. Then Kingston gives the Miz the S.O.S and got yet another nearfall.
"HOW MANY NEARFALLS CAN ONE MAN GET, I ASK YOU??
"In the end, it was the Miz giving Kingston the Skull-Crushing Finale and it was the finale of his United States Championship reign as the Miz is the new United States Champion.
"But let's be real here, Kofi Kingston was a great United States Champion. He fits right up there with past United States Champions such as Magnum T.A., Tully Blanchard, Nikita Koloff, Ric Flair and many others. Kingston brought a great deal of honor to that Championship, something that the Miz needs to do.
"Last week on Raw, Chavo Guerrero and Chris Masters had to have had some miscommunication. Last night, Chavo claimed that they had something together as they took on Mark Henry and MVP.
"MVP set up Chavo for the Ballin' Elbow, and went for the cover, But Masters tried to make the save and missed and nailed Chavo.[OOPS!!]
"Mark Henry, who hurt his knee during the match went after Masters as MVP went for the cover on Chavo and got the win It was quite obvious that MVP and Henry had their stuff together. Great teamwork was being displayed with a lot of tags. They have proven to me that they are worthy of being the Unified WWE Tag Team Champions.
"But that wasn't the case for Chris Masters and Chavo Guerrero, as their disagreement led to Masters attacking Chavo, and would you believe that he was saved by Hornswoggle. But as he was leaving, I guess you can say that the little guy had 2 words for Chavo, and I don't have to tell you what they are.
"Jack Swagger, I'm sure was unhappy about what happened this past Sunday at Hell In a Cell when he lost his chance of winning the United States Championship, so last night, he took his frustrations out on Primo last night, making quick work of him, and after the match was over, Swagger said that he wasn't pinned and you know something, he really wasn't pinned at all.
"He also claimed that for the rest of 2009, he is going to remain undefeated. We will see as the rest of the year plays out.
"Randy Orton who once again became the WWE Champion this past Sunday made this clear to John Cena-- at the upcoming Bragging Rights PPV, the 2 are going to have a 60-minute Iron Man match with no count outs and no DQ's, and anything goes. If Cena wins, which he won't, because from what I understand, he is going to be taking time off to make another movie, then he is the WWE Champion.
"If Orton wins, then Cena is gone from Raw for good, and I think that a lot of people would be very happy to see that rivalry come to an end."
Well, what a RAW that was! WWE more than made up for the lack of energy, almost. Have a great night, everyone!:D
