What's up beautiful people? Welcome to another edition of Main Event Plaza! WOW! Last night's commercial-free RAW certainly did deliver. New owner Donald Trump told everyone he was going to do things that were unprecedented, and that he did. You'll see what I mean. Let's begin!
Speaking of the Donald, we kicked off RAW with him. He welcomed everyone to RAW, and informed the RAW audience of a few treats. Of course, the RAW television audience would have a commercial-free telecast. The live audience however, would be getting a full refund for whatever they paid if they kept their ticket stub.
For almost two months now, The Miz has been mocking John Cena. Well John came out last night to confront The Miz. He told him that he was always trying to make a statement, but had not been able to. He then proceeded to tell him that he wasn't a reality show has-been, he was a WWE superstar never-was. Personally, I couldn't agree more. No offense to those of you who actually like the Miz. John told him that he would main event a pay-per-view for the first time ever when he faced him at the Bash. The bad news was, Miz is going to face JOHN CENA at the Bash.
You all know by now that I love tag team matches. And last night, Trump treated us all to a great one. The team of Jeff Hardy, Rey Mysterio and the Great Khali took on the team of Edge, Chris Jericho and Dolph Ziggler. The match was awesome, plenty of power moves, courtesy of Khali. It also had plenty of high flying suicidal maneuvers, courtesy of Jeff and Rey Rey. In the end, Jeff Hardy pinned Dolph Ziggler for the win! CM Punk, who was doing guest commentary at ringside, climbed into the ring and lifted Jeff's arm in victory. Jeff thought it was the ref, and when he realized it wasn't he left the ring and gave Punk a disgusted look.
To build momentum toward their Unified Undisputed tag team championship match at the Bash, Cody Rhodes took on one half of the tag champs, Primo. Taking a page out of Randy Orton's book, Cody just barely scrapped a victory over Primo. Legacy certainly has some momentum going into the title match this Sunday.
Last week, the Donald told us that Triple H would face Randy Orton in a Last Man Standing match for the WWE championship last night. There is an extreme amount of personal and professional animosity between these two individuals. As foreseen, this match was nothing short of amazing, but grueling. Early on in the match, Orton attacked the Game's knee, giving him a distinct disadvantage that would play out at the end of the match. Toward the end, Triple H gave Randy the Pedigree, out of what I think was pure instinct since his knee was hurting so bad. Unfortunately the move hurt Hunter as well as Orton. The ref was nearing ten, and the Game was desperately trying to lift himself up using a ladder, not being able to stand on his own. He was so close to making the count, when the ladder fell over, and sadly so did he. This caused the match to end in a draw.
Out of the "goodness of his heart", Trump was going to allow Vince McMahon to make a farewell address to the RAW audience. Well, Vince was nothing short of absolutely furious about the events that had transpired that night. He told the Donald in no uncertain terms that if he kept providing commercial-free telecasts and refunding shows, he would go bankrupt in about six months. He then offered to buy back RAW for double what he paid Trump for it. Never one to refuse a good deal, Trump accepted and RAW was back under McMahon ownership. Then Vince did something that I'm sure he's wanted to do for a while now. "Donald Trump, YOU'RE FIRED". But the Donald would not be outdone, so he slapped Vince across the face.
This did not sit well with Mr. McMahon, and much to my delight, he took out all his rage on Randy Orton. He informed him that he would face Triple H again for the championship on Sunday, in a 3 Stages of Hell match. The stages would be a standard wrestling match, a Falls Count Anywhere match, and a Stretcher match. We haven't seen this match in nearly 7 years! Vince must be angry.
We also had some diva tag team action last night. Mickie James and the Bella Twins took on Maryse, Beth Phoenix, and Rosa Mendes. It's been said that Maryse is trying to avoid Mickie, and I have to agree. Maryse never tagged in when Mickie was in the ring. Then Mickie did something I'm truly proud of. She nailed Rosa Mendes with the greatest superkick since Shawn Michaels! This allowed her to pin Rosa for her team's win!
The Big Show has has a problem with John Cena since Wrestlemania. He's always attacking him like he has something to prove. Last night, he was once again in a match with John. All throughout the match, Show attacked John's ribs. He almost got a win over the Big Show, until the Miz interfered and cost John the match. Not to worry, the Miz will get what's coming to him this Sunday at the Bash.
Randy was making his way to his car with his luggage after the show, still in a lot of pain :). Triple H then attacked him from behind, and put Orton against the trunk of his car, and slammed the hood against his back. Hunter then sat down next to him and told him "This isn't over". "You're going to Hell".
Well people, that was RAW. All in all, an unprecedented exciting show. I don't know about you, but I am very much looking forward to the Bash this Sunday. Well, that's all I got for right now. Thank you for reading Main Event Plaza! Take it easy.
