Bret Hart accepted Mr. McMahon’s WrestleMania challenge
Broken bones be damned! That’s how strong Bret Hart’s anger is toward Mr. McMahon. After suffering a broken leg in an auto accident two weeks ago on Raw, the WWE Hall of Famer appeared to say a final farewell to the WWE Universe, but The Chairman had other ideas. Instead, he provoked his longtime nemesis, hoping to get Hart to agree to a match at WrestleMania. Knowing he’ll be at a distinct disadvantage, even with recovery time, The “Hit Man” accepted Mr. McMahon’s challenge. All of which means, more than 12 years of hostilities will finally come to a head inside the squared circle at WrestleMania. Perhaps in preparation, The Chairman even announced that he will face John Cena next Monday on Raw.

2010 WWE Hall of Fame Inductee announcement: “Mad Dog” Vachon
A true original and a member of one of wrestling’s legendary families, “Mad Dog” Vachon has been announced as the latest inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2010. One of the ring’s original bad boys, and the uncle of Diva Luna Vachon, “Mad Dog” will be inducted at the Hall of Fame Ceremony the night before WrestleMania.

Eve def. Divas Champion Maryse, Kelly Kelly, Gail Kim, Jillian and Alicia Fox in a Diva Pajama Pillow Fight Match
Dude, it was like something from a dream. After indulging in Hornswoggle’s “unique” cereal, special guest hosts Cheech & Chong decided it would be far out to have a Diva Pajama Pillow Fight Match featuring Divas Champion Maryse, Eve, Kelly Kelly, Gail Kim, Jillian and Alicia Fox. Man, were they right.

With the comedic duo watching from the announcer’s table, Eve demonstrated her pillow prowess and emerged victorious after all the feathers flew. Even Hornswoggle popped up to rain his “unique” cereal down on the special guest hosts. Trippy, man, trippy.

MVP def. Zack Ryder in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match
Despite having his sweetheart Rosa Mendes in his corner, Long Island’s own Zack Ryder simply couldn’t overcome the athleticism of MVP. The Ballin’ Superstar showed Ryder – one of Raw’s newest acquisitions from ECW – exactly what the situation was when he put a stop to the Zack Attack and qualified for the Money in the Bank Match at WrestleMania. The Franchise Playa joins Christian, Kane, Shelton Benjamin, Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger in the prestigious ladder joust.

John Cena confronted WWE Champion Batista
There was one place not to be on Monday night: Between two of the biggest, baddest Superstars WWE has ever known. After getting popped last week with a low blow from WWE Champion Batista, John Cena called out The Animal. Accompanied by a security detail, Batista confronted his WrestleMania rival, telling him that the security was to ensure he doesn’t decimate Cena like he did the week before.

The men traded barbs before The Animal told Cena that he attacked him because he feels cheated, cheated that it is Cena who has become the “face of WWE.” While the two men started in WWE at the same time, Cena has emerged the more high-profile Superstar, and now Batista was going to rectify that on The Grandest Stage of Them All, WrestleMania. The WWE Champion’s tirade left Cena in a condition he rarely finds himself: Speechless.

Jack Swagger def. Santino Marella in a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match
Jack Swagger may be full of empty boasts – remember that whole All-American American Challenge fiasco? – but this time the former college wrestler made good. “The All-American American” redeemed himself against Santino Marella. Swagger defeated the All-Italian Italian to qualify for the Money in the Bank Ladder Match at WrestleMania, where he will join Christian, Kane, Shelton Benjamin, Dolph Ziggler and three other Superstars.

Randy Orton def. Ted DiBiase by Disqualification (WATCH)
The axis of evil is officially kaput. At WWE Elimination Chamber, when Ted DiBiase nailed Randy Orton in the head with a lead pipe, the Legacy ringleader appeared to forgive the “accident.” When the two teamed with Legacy henchman Cody Rhodes, however, The Viper struck, heading off a devious attack from his followers, leaving his followers motionless both in and out of the ring.

Now that all the cards are on the table, there’s no more “accidents” waiting to happen. As Orton battled DiBiase in singles action, Rhodes shot in to help his friend and partner. The save, however, disqualified DiBiase. While The Viper momentarily savored the victory, he found himself on his heels when his former pupils attacked him after the match. After suffering a series of boots to the torso, Orton managed to flip the script on Rhodes & DiBiase, who fled from the ring.

DX invoked Unified Tag Title rematch clause
Shawn Michaels appeared pretty steamed when “Mr. WrestleMania” addressed the WWE Universe regarding his rematch with The Undertaker. HBK told the crowd inside the Ford Center that his fellow Superstars think he lost the plot when he put his career on the line against The Deadman’s 17-0 WrestleMania streak. He even challenged anyone in the locker room who felt that way to face him, and one man did: Triple H.

Rather than belittle his DX partner, however, The Game encouraged Michaels epic undertaking, so to speak. He even felt the two should build momentum by invoking their rematch clause for the Unified Tag Team Championship. Michaels was on board, and so later tonight the duo will clash in a title match against champs Big Show & The Miz.

What did I think of Cheech and Chong? Not much because I turned the channel every time they were on. I don't care about their dumb pot jokes. Chong is nothing more then a geratric burnout. As for the rest of the show, I loved it. HBK/HHH segment to start the show, loved it. Cena/Batista segment, loved it. Bret/Vince, loved it. More heat between Taker and HBK, loved it. Sheamus fires the first shot at HHH, loved it. Week after week, I get more excited about WM. This card is looking totally amazing.

Hmm, Raw was okay this week, although I think it's been better the previous few. I thought the guys hosting were pretty crappy... the whole thing with Hornswoggle was just stupid. I thought the main event was pretty good.. I'm guessing it's gonna be Sheamus vs. HHH at WM now?

As for the rest of the matches, most of them were decent. I thought the Orton vs Ted match was a little meh.. I expected more out of it. Hopefully the handicap match next week will make up for it.

Really wanted to see DX back as champions hate shomiz. Its looking more and more like HBK is going to win against Taker every week. Usually people don't go out with a losing streak.

Kind of knew the Bret vs McMahon was going to happen not looking forward to seeing a old Bret Hart but I guess Vince have something up his sleeve to make us love watching the match.

Raw was real weak to me this week but really loved seeing Sheamus back figured he was so pale that he got left with too many bruises at elimination chamber and they wanted him to heal. lol!

So you know MVP is going to win MITB and challenge Miz for his title. What? Just my prediction.

Can't front though this is shaping up to be the best WM in years. Would love to HHH vs Sheamus. Boy they're really pushing Sheamus aren't they? First Cena then Orton now HHH he's fighting Vets anybody know of him b4 WWE

^^Why would anyone win the MITB and then cash the shot in for a US Championship match?

My boy was just the main event of Raw and Smackdown in the same week. And pinned Shawn Michaels for the 3rd time. Safe to say, Miz is going places. Raw was awesome overall though. Even the Cheech and Chong stuff was entertaining. Some of it anyway, ha. Can't complain about any of it really, was all entertaining. I'm also now a Batista fanboy, can make it official.

I have been a big fan of Batista since I saw him in OVW 10 years ago. His character was a little stale though and his heel turn has been awesome.
I am glad to see son of a bitch Mr McMahon back on TV. It is awesome when he starts screwing with people and I hope that heel Mr. McMahon stays around after the thing with Bret ends.
