I JUST GOT A FEELING IT’S MIGHT BE CENA TIME TO WIN THE BELT AND ORTON IS GOING TO CONTINUE HIS LONG TIME FEUD WITH TRIPLE HHH AND NOW SHAWN MICHAELS. THIS WILL OPEN UP THE OPPORTUNITY FOR SOMEONE NEW TO BATTLE FOR THE WWE TITLE HOPEFULLY.

WINNER – JOHN CENA

WWE World Heavyweight Championship – TLC Match- Jeff Hardy (c) vs. CM Punk.

AS LONG AS JEFF HARDY DECIDES TO STAY WITH THE WWE I THINK HE WILL RETAIN THE TITLE HERE. MAYBE THIS WILL OPEN UP THE OPPORTUNITY FOR JOHN MORRISON TO GET HIS SHOT AT THE TITLE.

WINNER – JEFF HARDY
ECW Championship Match - Christian (c) vs. William Regal.

CLEARLY CHRISTIAN WILL WIN THIS MATCH IT WOULD SURPRISE ME IF REGAL WINS. I NEVER SAW HIM AS CHAMPIONSHIP MATERIAL SINCE HE DOES NOT THAT BIG WITH THE FANS. MEDIOCORE HEAT ON HIM AT MOST. I THINK KOSLOV WILL FINALLY GET HIS LONG AWAITED SHOT AT THE TITLE.

WINNER – CHRISTIAN

D-Generation X vs. The Legacy

TRIPLE HHH WILL GET HIS REVENGE ON LEGACY AFTER MONTHS AND MONTHS OF THEM KICKING HIS ASS.

WINNER – D-GENERATION X

WINNER – DOLPH ZIGGLER
WWE Unified Tag Team Championship Match- Chris Jericho & Big Show (c’s) vs. Cryme Tyme.

United States Championship Match – Kofi Kingston def. Carlito with Rosa Mendez by Pinfall

Your winner and still United States Champion is Kofi Kingston. Great match. Carlito dominated most of the match but that was not enough to defeat Kingston. Even though Rosa was with Carlito but she was a nonfactor in the match. I would not mind seeing this match up again in the future. Does Kingston have an opponent for Summerslam yet?

Overall Match Grade: B

The Miz def. Evan Bourne by Pinfall

I guess The Miz will be the next opponent for Kingston’s title. The Miz is so overrated but I got to admit he had a good match with Bourne. I love Bourne’s high flying moves its just too bad its not his time right now for that big push he was getting before he got injured awhile back.

Overall Match Grade: B-

Divas Championship Match – Mickie James def. Gail Kim by Pinfall

Horrible ending to this match you can clearly tell that Mickie’s finisher was messed plus she also missed the kick right after that. I was thinking that this match could be a future match for the next pay per view or at least Summerslam. It was a pretty good match until the end.

Overall Match Grade: C

MVP def. Jack Swagger by Disqualification

You call that a match!!! I’m pretty sure they are going to face each other at Summerslam if the match has not been booked already. This is going to be a good match up.

Aww yeah!!! Its’ good to see Degeneration X back! But, I wish they could either have the rest of the old members back which I know is not going to happen or recruit 2-3 more new members.

Main Event: Hart Dynasty def. Jeff Hardy in a 2 on 1 Handicap Match

CM Punk’s music hits and out comes the Straightedge superstar to a loud chorus of “boo.” Punk grabs a microphone.Punk starts off by saying that GM Long is wrong by claiming that TLC is Jeff Hardy’s specialty because everyone knows the kind of damage he can do with a chair, such as destroying Jeff Hardy in recent weeks, and his success with ladders in Money in the Bank, where he is a 2 time back to back winner. “I can waste my breathe and try to tell you the importance of virtues like honesty and integrity, but you’re all just slaves to Jeff Hardy and his hip little ‘in the moment’ propaganda. Besides anything I do or say will make you cheer and love Jeff Hardy that much more.” So then Punk realizes the “daunting” task ahead of him that he has to complete, one in which the people will actually contribute to society. “I figured that all I have to do is end Jeff Hardy,” Punk stated. He then added that Jeff always screws things up and is well on his way to screwing this one up as well, because Jeff may not even make it to SummerSlam.

This prompted GM Long to cut Punk right off, much to the crowds delight. Long made his way down to the ring with a microphone in hand. Long called Punk’s actions last week deplorable and asked him if he realized that he could’ve ended Jeff’s career. “But I’ll tell you what, before you start to make alternative plans for SummerSlam, I came out here to tell you that Jeff Hardy will be here tonight and he has assured me that he will be ready to face you Punk at SummerSlam.” Then as Long started to remind Punk that he will be facing John Morrison later in the night, Punk said he was done with GM Long and started to leave when Jeff Hardy’s music hit.

Out comes the Charismatic Enigma, Jeff Hardy, dressed up in street clothes. He walks very gingerly to the ring and grabs a microphone. “I am hurt, but I am here…in your face!” Jeff exclaimed. Jeff then said that he will successfully defend his title at SummerSlam before holding the championship high above his head. Jeff’s music hit and he slowly made his way back up the ramp as Punk mocked Jeff’s injuries.

Fatal 4 Way – Winner to get future championship match – Gail Kim def. Kelly Kelly, Alicia Fox, and Beth Phoenix by Pinfall

I knew this was coming with all the signs pointing to Gail Kim being the next in line for a title shot. It is about time that she gets her shot. It was a very entertaining match the ladies were high flyers in this match. Alicia Fox is becoming a pretty good wrestler improving her skills every week.

Overall Match Grade: A-

Jack Swagger def. Evan Bourne

This was a better match compared to last week. I guess I was wrong about the whole “This could be the beginning of a long feud between these two” that I predicted last week. Instead of feuding with Bourne, Swagger will be feuding with MVP which is an even match up in my opinion. This could be an entertaining feud between the two. By the way, Swagger wins the feud between Bourne 2-1. Hopefully they will face each other again in the future.

Overall Match Grade: B-

Contract on a pole match – Winner gets contract to be on RAW – Calgary Kid def. Eugene

Horrible short match and what made it worse is that the Calgary Kid was The Miz. I hate that guy. It was good to see Eugene but it was good that he did not end up on RAW. I think he would fit best in ECW.

Overall Match Grade: F

The Big Show def. Randy Orton by Count out

Very slow pace match it was like watching a regular wrestling match in slow motion. Big show is a very boring guy to watch wrestle. Nothing entertaining here. Probably the best move in the match was Randy Orton letting himself get count out.

Overall Match Grade: F

MVP def. Chris Masters by Pinfall

Basically a revenge match for MVP after what Masters did to him a couple of weeks ago in the Beat the clock match. Decent match with nothing that really stood out except for the run in by Swagger.

Overall Match Grade: C

Legacy def. Mark Henry and Hornswoggle

Another short match. Highlight of the match was Henry suplexing both Legacy guys. It was about time Chavo got Hornswoggle back.

Overall Match Grade: C

John Cena vs. Chris Jericho went to no contest

Decent match it had potential to be a good match but it was basically a setup for next weeks match. Cena and Orton against Jericho and Big Show.

Overall Match Grade: C

RAW Overall

Love the whole Triple H and Shaun Michaels part of the show I was laughing my ass when Michaels super kicked his boss and that little girl. Degeneration X is back baby!!! Majority of the matches were entertaining couple of wack match leading into a decent RAW. I was not entertained by Sgt. Slaughter as the guest host. He did not really do much compared to the other guest host from previous hosts. He did not even enter the ring.

Overall Show Grade: C+
