WWE RAW Results (7/5):

Quote :

WWE Monday Night RAW begins with Nexus lined up in the ring. Wade Barrett tells that he recieved an e-mail from the RAW General Manager last week and he was asked in that e-mail to assemble with Nexus here first thing on RAW this week. Skip Sheffield gets on the mic and tells that it is because of Nexus that Ricky Steamboat's DVD has sold more than could be expected. *BLEEP* *BLEEP* (goes the laptop e-mail's from the RAW GM). Michael Cole voices the e-mails and says that the GM has decided on the punishment for attacking WWE Chairman Vince McMahon. None of Nexus are allowed any WWE Title shot until further notice. The second bleep was to tell that the ban that prevented any contact between Nexus/WWE superstars has now been lifted! With that, John Cena's music hits and Cena comes out and invites out six other guys to take on Nexus! Cena takes the tribe (including Randy Orton and R-Truth) toward the ring, but then out of nowhere Sheamus leads out a tribe that includes Edge and Chris Jericho and they attack Cena's lot! Nexus escape through the crowd, and then the WWE Sheamus tribe back off up the ramp while Cena's lot are in the ring. Sheamus gets on the mic and tells that Nexus always seem to target Cena and even though he considered what Cena said last week, he respectfully declines! Orton gets on the mic and questions Edge then suggests that the seven on seven tonight be the seven in the ring against the seven on the stage. *BLEEP* *BLEEP* The GM (through Cole) says that's not gonna happen and that instead the eight competitor's in the Money In The Bank match will face off tonight in a series of matches. Also, the GM wants John Cena and Wade Barrett in the ring tonight one on one - and he wants them to shake hands and call a truce! The fans boo and Cena then says that "how about I take my hand, make a fist and knock Wade Barrett's teeth out!" *BLEEP* The GM says that he trusts that Cena be the bigger man and "That's the bottom line, cause the GM said so!"

Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler tell that WWE are now officially on YouTube!

John Morrison vs. Ted DiBiase w/ Maryse (on commentary).

Morrison and Ted put on a good match and surprisingly the match spends a lot of time on the mat. Maryse on commentary says that she is not a gold digger and the fact that she Loves money and that Ted DiBiase is rich is just pure conincidence. As the match goes back and forth, Maryse then puts on John Morrison's fur coat to provide a destraction. Morrison then gets put in a Dream Steet. One, Two, Three.

Winner: Ted DiBiase w/ Maryse.

We're reminded of John Cena's run-ins with Nexus and the commentary team tell us that tonight John Cena is expected to shake hands with Nexus leader Wade Barrett.

Santino and Kozlov have a funny moment backstage which ends seriously by Kozlov basicly telling Santino that they better not lose tonight.

The Great Khali w/ Runjin Singh!
The commentary team remind everyone that last week Runjin Singh insulted The Great Khali, but apparently Khali is yet to find out what Runjin said about him. Early in the match Santino tries The Cobra on Regal, but it doesn't connect. He makes a tag and Kozlov comes in to dominate Regal. He hits a spinning side backdrop and gets the pin fall.

Winners: Santino Marella and Vladimir Kozlov.

After the match Santino picks Regal up and Regal's own partner for the night takes him down with a Khali Chop. Santino, Khali and Runjin then dance to celebrate with Kozlov in the background.

We get a recap of what happened to the WWE legends last week.

Josh Mathews interviews Arn Anderson and Arn tells that Ricky Steamboat is not in a great condition. Sheamus interupts and Arn Anderson advises him that he should be careful before Nexus target him too. Arn suggests that he should get together with Cena and co to stop the bleeding in WWE. Sheamus says that he's the WWE Champion and that nothing can touch him.

We are told that later tonight we'll have a Diva's Championship between Eve Torres and Alicia Fox!

R-Truth vs. The Miz
Truth gets a great recption, Miz comes out and "raps." As Miz tells us he's Awesome he donks R-Truth on the head with the microphone. Truth falls to the outside and Miz beats him up while focussing on his arm. The referee calls for medical attention for R-Truth.

Match doesn't happen as the commentary team suspect it's a dislocated shoulder at least. While Truth gets assisted to the back, Miz gets on the mic again and tells that he's going to win Money In The Bank because he's The Miz and he's Awesome.

Next up is the Cutting Edge where Edge's guests this week are Evan Bourne and Chris Jericho. Before they come out, Edge responds to Orton's comments earlier in the show. He says that he's smarter than Orton and smarter than anyone else in the arena. Meaning that he has a plan and first and foremost in this plan is that Edge win the Money In The Bank! Edge then introduces Evan Bourne, but instead Chris Jericho comes out. Jericho says that he was Wade Barrett's Pro on NXT and he says that he likes to think that Nexus was born on the back of Chris Jericho. Edge responds by asking why Nexus would want to listen to Chris Jericho. The two of them go back and forth and slander one anothers careers whilst plugging their own accolades. Jericho then declares that he's going to win Money In The Bank. Edge sucker punches him and takes him down, but Jericho comes back and hits the Walls. Evan Bourne shows up and puts Jericho down with a double knee off the top turnbuckle. The three of them scuffle for a moment until we hear two bleeps on the laptop. Michael Cole quotes; "If you wanna see some action, gimme a Hell Yeah" 'Hell Yeah!' say the audience and the GM then makes a tag team match. Edge must team with Chris Jericho to go up against Evan Bourne and his partner... Randy Orton!

Edge & Chris Jericho vs. Evan Bourne & Randy Orton

Bourne puts on a good show against Jericho and Orton tags in but so does Edge. The match goes back and forth for a moment, but it's not long before Orton dominates Edge and then Evan Bourne is tagged back in. Bourne again impresses against Jericho and the commentary team tell that Evan Bourne may just well have Chris Jericho's number. The two of them battle on ringside, but Bourne's still in control as they eventually get back into the ring. As Bourne then approaches Jericho counters and the match evens out as we go to commercials.

When we return Edge is on top against Bourne. He pulls off the Edge-o-matic and gets a near fall. Edge goes to tag Jericho but Jericho is reluctant to tag in. He does though and comes in to put a backbreaker stretch on Evan Bourne. "Ask him" demands Jericho as the referee checks on Evan Bourne. Bourne though gets free, Jericho makes a tag and Bourne can't make it to his corner and Edge comes in to take control. This doesn't last as Bourne has the crowd behind him. Edge tags out, Bourne tags Randy Orton and Orton comes in to dominate Chris Jericho. He poses up for an RKO, but Edge provides a destraction which takes all the momentum away. Jericho and Edge then work cohessively and do well to corner Randy Orton. The fans chant 'RKO! RKO!' in favour of Randy Orton, but to no avail as the Canadian's do well to keep Orton grounded. After some susstained pressure Jericho goes for a Lionsault but misses. Both competitors go for tags. Edge reluctantly tags in as does Bourne and the match continues. Jericho bad-mouths Edge and Edge responds with a Spear! Evan Bourne hits an Air Bourne and this one's over!

Winners: Evan Bourne and Randy Orton!

Edge leaves, Jericho is beaten by Bourne (again) and after the match and the celebrations are over *BAM* RKO by Randy Orton on Evan Bourne! From out of nowhere the Viper strikes! Orton slowly leaves as the commentary team remind us that all these guys will meet at Money In The Bank.

We cut to a video recap of John Cena's run-ins with Nexus.
Backstage we see Randy Orton bump into David Otunga, Heath Slater and Michael Tarver. They say that they appologise to Orton for interrupting Fatal-4-Way. They then promise that they won't interrupt Orton's MITB match at the next pay-per-view. They will however get involved in the Steel Cage Title match - dependent on the "truce" between Barrett and Cena tonight. They suggest that the winner of the RAW MITB match could quite easily pick up the pieces that very night and get the WWE Title around their waist. Orton thinks for a moment and tells Nexus to get out of his face.

Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler run down the MITB matches and tell us that R-Truth has been injured at the hands of The Miz and he has to pull out of the RAW MITB match.

Josh Mathews interviews The Uso's and Tamina after telling us that RAW recieved an e-mail during the break. At MITB The Uso's will face The Hart Dynasty for the Unified Tag Team Championships. The Uso's mock Mathews and tell that he is just like The Hart Dynasty; ignorant. They say that they will walk out of MITB as new Tag Team Champions. After that we see Alicia Fox and she tells that she's mad at the fact that she's not been interviewed one on one. Tonight she intends to make an impact against her challenger Eve.

Alicia Fox vs. Eve Torres
Diva's Title match
Eve starts the match very much on top, but Alicia feigns an injury to her ankle to get a little breather. She suckers Eve in and then kicks her in the face, sets up a scissor kick and gets the pin fall.

Winner: Alicia Fox.

Another reminder of Cena vs. Nexus so far.

An e-mail recieved during the break next week's Monday Night RAW main event will be Randy Orton one on one with Edge!

Wade Barrett makes his way to the ring. He calls out John Cena by suggesting that he and Cena shake hands like men. Cena comes to the ring and watches his back the whole time. Barrett speaks and tells that John Cena is not in Nexus' future plans. He says that he does want to shake hands and look to the future. He says that Nexus are going to be around for a long time and either Cena shakes Barretts hands and life's easy, or the Nexus Seven make John Cena's life a lot harder. Cena solumnly says that he wants to know for sure if the attacks stop if he shakes hands with Barrett. That's cut short though as Cena becomes much louder and says that Nexus can take the hand shake gesture and stick it where the sun don't shine. Cena says that he and his magic eight-ball can also tell the future and the future is that Cena takes out all of Nexus one member at a time. Barrett then suggests that Cena take the final chance to shake hands. Cena does, but turns it into what he wants to be an Attitude Adjustment - but Nexus are instantly in the ring! They attack Cena, but then the locker room empty's! A ruckus in the ring and eventually the Nexus Six are on the stage with the WWE RAW roster (most of'm) at ringside. *BLEEP* GM wants this all to stop! John Cena though decks Darren Young and puts on the STF! *BLEEP* "John Cena, because of your actions next week you will be in a seven on one handicap match against all of the Nexus!" The fans ironically are all chanting Cena's name and are booing the GM's decision. The stage/ringside empty's and John Cena takes apart Darren Young and evetually lifts and throws steel stairs at him at ringside. He ends the show by decking Young over the commentary table and tipping the table on top of him. Cena gets into the ring where the fans cheer and he salutes as this one's over.

I enjoyed Raw, all except for 2 segments. As soon as Santino's music hits, I zone out and add Kahli to that mix and I turn the channel. The other segment that sucked was Eve vs. A. Fox. The Raw roster has Maryse and Natalya, yet those are the 2 Diva's wrestling for the title. What the hell man?
