Raw Results 2-22

Quote :

INDIANAPOLIS – One night after WWE Elimination Chamber, special guest co-hosts, singer Jewel and her husband, pro bull rider Ty Murray, were riding high in the saddle as they helped wrangle an ornery herd of Superstars into several WrestleMania matches.

John Cena def. WWE Champion Batista by Disqualification
All of John Cena’s matches should be this easy – if less painful. Within moments of the opening bell, his challenger, WWE Champion Batista, kicked Cena in the groin and was immediately disqualified. Per Mr. McMahon’s earlier stipulations, the win cements Cena in a title match against The Animal at WrestleMania.

Things aren’t always as easy as they appear, though. While staggered by the blow, Cena tried to rise above and fight his tormentor. Seeing this, Batista attacked his WrestleMania rival before attempting to leave the ring again. Again, Cena clawed his way back to his feet, and again, Batista attacked him. This time, The Animal nailed Cena with a steel chair before, satisfied, he finally left his victim in the ring alone.

Cheech & Chong to host Monday Night Raw next week
Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong, better known as Cheech & Chong, will bring their iconic comedy to Raw next week when they act as special guest hosts. The pair will take a break from their 2010 tour to stop into Oklahoma City and offer some primo laughs to the WWE Universe.

Mr. McMahon invited Bret Hart back to Raw next week for a proper “farewell”
After the horrible auto accident that befell Bret Hart last week, in which The “Hit Man” suffered injuries to his left leg, Mr. McMahon addressed the situation. The Chairman informed the crowd that the WWE Hall of Famer was invited back next Monday night to offer the WWE Universe a proper “farewell.”

2010 WWE Hall of Fame Inductee announcement: Wendi Richter
One of the original Divas and a WWE Universe favorite, Wendi Richter has been announced as the latest 2010 WWE Hall of Fame Inductee. The two-time WWE Women’s Champion will be inducted the night before WrestleMania.

Jewel & Ty Murray host Diva Bull Riding Competition; Unified Tag Team Champions Big Show & The Miz def. Mark Henry & MVP
Just when the Divas were beginning to master the mechanical bull guest hosts Jewel and Ty Murray brought to Raw, Unified Tag Team Champions Big Show & The Miz decided to drop onto the scene like a couple of cow patties. The duo mocked the sport and heckled the bull.

That’s when Jewel and Murray decided a little revenge was in order and put “Show-Miz” in a title match against Mark Henry & MVP. Unlike last week, though, The World’s Strongest Man and The Franchise Playa fell short and dropped the match to the champions.

Christian def. Carlito in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match
to WrestleMania begins with a few steps – up a ladder. At least that’s the case for Christian. The former ECW Champion, freshly signed with Raw, battled Carlito in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match and won, earning an opportunity to compete in the all-important Ladder Match at WrestleMania. The two Superstars will likely become very familiar with one another moving forward thanks to WWE NXT, the brand-new show on Syfy Tuesday nights in which eight Superstars, NXT Pros, including Christian and Carlito, have been chosen to mentor eight NXT rookies.

The Undertaker accepted Shawn Michaels’ WrestleMania rematch challenge
Michaels found himself running out of options. He wanted desperately to face The Undertaker again at WrestleMania, but he couldn’t figure out how to make it happen – until last night. HBK interrupted the World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber Match and superkicked The Deadman, allowing Chris Jericho to win the title.

As a result, The Undertaker confronted Michaels tonight and put his WrestleMania undefeated streak on the line by accepting HBK’s rematch challenge … under one condition. If The Phenom wins, The Showstopper must retire!

Kofi Kingston, Evan Bourne & Yoshi Tatsu def. Randy Orton & The Legacy
Things couldn’t have gone much worse for Randy Orton the night before. In his WWE Championship Elimination Chamber Match, The Viper “accidentally” received a lead pipe to the head thanks to his Legacy henchman Ted DiBiase, who was also in the bout. So, when The Viper struck a conciliatory tone before the match, both DiBiase and Cody Rhodes should have known something was amiss.

The three prepared to square off against Kofi Kingston, Evan Bourne and Raw’s newest member, Yoshi Tatsu – who officially signed on from ECW – in a Six-Man Tag Team Match. Before the match could take on too ominous a feel for Orton, however, he headed off an attack from Legacy and laid out Rhodes and RKO'd DiBiase, essentially handing his opponents the win.

Maryse def. Gail Kim for the Divas Championship (PHOTOS | WATCH)
Last night, just moments before Maryse and Gail Kim were to settle which sexy, smart and powerful woman would lay claim to the Divas Championship, Vickie Guerrero just had to butt in. She decided that SmackDown’s Divas weren’t being represented enough, so she arranged a tag team match pitting Maryse & Gail against Michelle McCool & Layla. Maryse abandoned her partner, watched her get pummeled and then circled around to punish Gail herself.

All of which made for a rancorous bout tonight when Maryse and Gail finally met to decide the Divas Championship. While Gail certainly had ample motivation, the conceited Canadian proved too difficult to handle and netted herself the Butterfly Title.

Mr. McMahon arranged WWE Champion Batista vs. John Cena tonight
Robbed. There’s hardly a better word to describe what happened to John Cena after he managed to defeat five opponents on the way to victory in the WWE Championship Elimination Chamber Match on Sunday night. The victory was not without casualties. Former WWE Champion Sheamus suffered a concussion and Triple H sustained neck and upper back injuries during the heated bout.

As an exhausted Cena soaked in his accomplishment, The Chairman emerged a mere three minutes and 35 seconds later to inform him that he must defend the title against Batista. After a valiant effort, Cena succumbed to The Animal and relinquished his title.

Tonight, Cena appeared hellbent on facing the new WWE Champion, but Mr. McMahon wouldn’t hear of it, insisting that The Animal will defend the title at WrestleMania. The Chairman did, however, offer Cena a deal: If he wins his match tonight, he will become No. 1 contender for the WWE Title. If he loses, Sheamus will assume that position. And who might Cena’s opponent be tonight? None other than Batista himself!

Edge chose to face World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho at WrestleMania
Thought Edge might let bygones be bygones? Not bloody likely. When newly-minted World Heavyweight Champion Chris Jericho opened Raw and began boasting about how he defeated The Undertaker and four others in the Elimination Chamber to night before, The Rated-R Superstar could no longer take it.

Edge had heard Jericho’s boasting before. While he endured an excruciating recovery from a torn Achilles tendon, The Rated-R Superstar listened to his former tag team partner claim credit for their championship accomplishments. Consider it payback time.

After outlasting 29 opponents at the Royal Rumble, The Ultimate Opportunist had an enviable decision to make: For which World Championship would he choose to compete at WrestleMania. Edge made his decision loud and clear when he climbed into the ring and dropped Jericho with a spear just before proclaiming to the entire WWE Universe that he will be challenging for the World Heavyweight Championship.

I thought this was a great Raw. Edge vs. Jericho at Mania is officail. Batista vs. Cena at WM is official, Christian is the first one to qualify for the MITB, and Taker has excepted Shawns rematch, but with a devastating stipulation. I can't wait for Mania and I can't wait to see what is next this week on SD.

I agree Edge vs Jericho is a great idea but very predictable just like Christian vs Edge (prepare for it) is and just like Undertaker vs HBK career vs Streak. Also did anyone think Cena wouldn't fight Batista at Wrestlemania. Cena has appeared in every mania since he first went to one. He has never lost a title match there either.

He lost the Triple Threat in 08. I did see Cena vs. Batista coming because they have been teasing it for a couple of weeks, but I did not see Cena vs. Batista for the WWE Championship coming.

I loved Raw this week. I think Edge/Jericho is going to be amazing, as is the second round of Taker/HBK. It's pretty obvious that Taker will win, again, as there are rumors flyinga round about HBK having time off again.

But yeah, all the matches were good. Thought the bull riding thing was stupid, although The Miz made that part worth watching. Although I'm a huge fan of Legacy and don't want to see them splitting up, I like how they're playing that storyline out. It'll be interesting to see how it all finally comes to an end.

Bull riding was stupid, but Miz saved the segment. I can't imagine how stupid Cheech and Chongs segments will be next week. Then they will stupid the segment up even more with Swaggle and Santino.

Pretty decent Raw. I mean, I was really glad to see Jericho show some charisma again. It's been so long since I heard him speak in a none monotonous voice. Kind of funny, his promo back was he mocked Ortons monotonous voice but his more serious character has pretty much developed one. I was very happy with the opening promo. Not so much with the Cena/Vince one afterwards but that wasn't bad. I roughly enjoyed Christians match, not absolutely high on Christian going to Raw but I still see him getting a push. The bull-riding segment wass bull-crap. Miz did however added some comedy to it.

I loved the Shawn/Taker segment. Moreso the promo leading up to what happens. I swear that Shawn is absolutely amazing, I'm actually excited about this match. Second time he's turned an angle I was one-hundred percent against, to something I'm looking forward to.

I am personally glad to see heel McMahon back and hope that he continues to screw with people after the Bret angle is over. I know he can't fight Cena at his age, but he can do everything he can to screw with his career. It seems like every face major over the last 10 years, has had some kind of feud envolving Vince and I love it. I knew that Jericho's promo's would get more entertaining when he had someone to work with. It was not a boring, stare at the camera promo. He played off of what Edge said and vice versa. I hope Christian gets a realy push on Raw and it would be awesome if he won the MITB match.

I'm not in disagreement with any of the matches just think they we're pretty see through. The amazing thing about the WWE is that they even make the predictable great. How about another WWE Screw job with Vince screwing HBK or Undertaker. I wont say empathically that Taker will win. I think too many people see that happening. I'm pulling for HBK as always and I actually see him pulling it off. Taker will not retire without ever losing at mania and if anyone is going to do it HBK deserves to, if for no other reason then for deferring to the younger wrestlers when it comes to the WWE and WHC belts. Still haven't heard it referred to as career vs streak match waiting to hear it.

Well guys, yes it's true:

Maryse is the NEW WWE Divas Champion for a 2nd time and also, Gail Kim suffered a lip injury during the match Monday Night and plus, Maryse was drafted to RAW w/the Divas Title and lost the title to Mickie James back @ last summer's Night of Champions III

Her name, is Maryse Ouellet

7 months ago after being dfarted to RAW, Maryse lost the Divas Title to Mickie James @ Night of Champions III and now, 7 months later, Mickie James is now the WWE Women's Champion for a 5th time and Maryse is now the Divas Champion only for a 2nd time

Here's what happend:

Finals of the WWE Divas Championship Tournament
Maryse vs. Gail Kim

The bell rings and they go to lock up but Gail rolls Maryse up for a 2 count. Maryse runs into the corner. They go back and forth until Gail hits a clothesline for another 2 count.

More back and forth until Gail misses her finisher and Maryse goes to work. 2 count by Maryse. Gail counters and hits a bridge suplex for a 2 count. They fight in the corner. Gail goes for a cross body from the top but Maryse moves and Gail goes down. It looks like Gail is bleeding from the mouth a bit. They finally get off the mat and go at it. Gail ends up on Maryse’s shoulders. Maryse drops her neck on the ropes and hits the French Kiss for the pinfall and the win.

Winner and New WWE Divas Champion: Maryse

However, Gail Kim suffered a lip injury during her match on RAW with Maryse.

Maryse Ouellet: 2x WWE Divas Champion

Would love to see a champion vs champion match at mania Myrse and Micky. The suprising thing is I thought Gail would win it just seems like in the middle of the match they changed thier mind and Myrse just started dominating.
