What's up beautiful people? Welcome to another edition of Main Event Plaza! This past Monday night was supposed to be a happy occasion, what with the return of Vince McMahon. Unfortunately, things took a turn for the worst, but not before somebody had a fantastic night. Let's begin!
We kicked off the night with a 6 man over-the-top rope challenge. The participants were Randy Orton, Ted DiBiase, Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston, Santino Marella, and Kane. Santino's stupidity caused him to be the first man eliminated. Followed by Kofi and Cody. Kane thought he had eliminated Teddy, but his feet didn't touch the floor. Kane was in the process of eliminating Orton when Teddy eliminated him, and himself, to grant Randy the win.
Kelly Kelly had a match with Beth Phoenix last night. Kelly has improved her in-ring game, but it wasn't quite enough. Beth was able to slam her for the win. Afterwards, Santino suggested that he and Beth take Rosa Mendes as an intern. You know, the crazed psychotic morbidly obsessed fan of Beth Phoenix? Well, she said she'd think about it.
While Randy Orton was celebrating his victory, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase told him that they had seen Sim Snuka and Manu in Stephanie McMahon's office. They had heard a rumor that Stephanie was planning to fire Randy that night. Randy went to confront Stephanie in her office. He started sucking up to her so he wouldn't lose his job. Stephanie saw through all of this. Randy then began insulting her, which led the GM of RAW to slap Randy across the face.
After 2 Intercontinental title matches in a row, in which both men had been disqualified, William Regal and CM Punk would face one last time in a no DQ match. Punk had the advantage very early on in the match, as he was wrestling in his hometown of Chicago. The match was great, and not even a slight distraction from Layla was going to get in Punk's way. In the end, a GTS landed him the win. Ladies and gentlemen, your new Intercontinental champion, CM Punk!!!
Last night was the official contract signing for the World Heavyweight championship match at the Royal Rumble between John Cena and JBL. After the documents were signed, Cena turned his attention to Shawn Michaels. He told him that the man he faced last week was not JBL's puppet. He was still the Showstopper, and he still had it in him. And that all his peers and all the fans still loved him, and he was still Mr. Wrestlemania. Shawn didn't let any of this get to him, and simply said, "I'm sorry you feel that way John." It looked like he was about to superkick him but he left the ring and JBL gave John the clothesline from hell.
For quite some time now, Mike Knox has been attacking Rey Mysterio. The two would face for the first time ever last night. When Todd Grisham asked Knox why he had attacked Mysterio, he said he didn't know. He just attacked him for no particular reason. Well the two went at it and it was a pretty nice match. At least up until Knox caught Rey's 619. Knox then proceeded to beat the hell out of him, and was disqualified.
After this bout, Stephanie walked into he office, only to see Chris Jericho sitting casually on her couch with a water bottle in his hand. According to him, Mr. McMahon was going to let him plead his case in the hopes of being rehired.
John Morrison and the Miz were hoping for one of them to take on "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan last night. They saw Cryme Tyme instead, who challenged them to a match. If they won, the would get a title opportunity for the world tag team championships. The match was great, and in the end, Cryme Tyme picked up the win!!!
Melina gained some major momentum Monday night by defeating tone-deaf dying starving stray cat, Jillian. After the match, Beth Phoenix, Santino Marella, and Rosa Mendes came down to the ring. Rosa then attacked Melina, which prompted Beth to attack Melina also. Beth then rather clearly stated that she didn't need any help beating Melina.
Now ladies and gentlemen, the moment you have all been waiting for. . . . Vince McMahon's return!!! Before he came down to the ring, he introduced himself to Dolph Ziggler. For once, Ziggler was actually speechless. Vince came down to the ring and told us that after his accident, he was feeling great. As promised, he let Chris Jericho plead his case. But, he let Stephanie decide whether or not to reinstate him. Stephanie made Jericho apologize to her if he wanted his job back. He did, shocker. Then she made him apologize to the WWE universe. On his knees. It was the single most hilarious thing since Vickie screamed like a banshee! He apologized making him as hypocritical as he claims we all are.
Vince and Stephanie were sharing a very special hug when they were interrupted by Randy Orton. He demanded that Stephanie apologize for slapping him, completely disrespecting her. Stephanie was ready to slap him again, but Vince stopped her, and insisted on dealing with Randy alone. Then Vince was demanding that Orton apologize to his family and treat them with respect. Orton refused, and as Vince was about to fire him, Randy slapped Mr. McMahon. Then to top it all off, he punted him in the head!!!!!!!!!!! Randy Orton punted the Chairman of the WWE in the head!!!!!!!!! Vince was then carried of by EMT's with a crying Stephanie at his side.
Well people, that was RAW. Very bittersweet. It was going to be a great night. CM Punk became the intercontinental champ, and Vince was in a jovial mood. There's no doubt that Randy will be fired. Vince just came back, now he's hurt again. Let's give Mr. McMahon all of our love and hope that he gets better soon. That's all I got for right now. Thank you for reading Main Event Plaza! Take it easy.



Great As Always!!!
