Raw: (Airing Next Week)
Raw opens with music and pyro.
Legacy comes out onto the stage then the Million Dollar Man’s music hits and it’s Ted Dibiase Sr. as they walk to the ring together. Ted jr. holding the ropes open for his father. Ted Sr. announces there will be no title defenses on Raw tonight but that the tag belts will be on the line at Night of Champions against Legacy. Ted Sr. announces that Cody Rhodes will take on Mark Henry and Ted Jr will take on the WWE Champion Randy Orton later tonight.
Match #1 is Team Ego (Edge & Chris Jericho) vs. Primo & Carlito
Faster paced match compared to last weeks RAW (6/29). Jericho hits the codebreaker on Carlito and Edge nails Primo with the spear for the cover and the win. Afterwards Carlito turns on Primo by sending him into the turnbuckle then throws him over the top rope to the outside. Carlito exits to the outside part of the ring and throws Primo over the announce table and walks away.
Segment: Legacy and Orton are in the locker room talking about the matches Ted Sr announced earlier this evening. Orton goes on about how if it were my father… when Ted Jr cuts him off by saying how he (Ted Sr.) isn’t your father and that my father was a whole hell of a lot better than your father!
Match 2: Divas tag-team match of Alicia Fox & Maryse vs Gail Kim and Mickie James
A short match with all four competitors getting in some offense. Gail Kim picks up the win for her team via what looked like a single arm DDT on Maryse.
Segment: Ted Sr. is getting his nails done when Cody Rhodes enters his office. Rhodes says that he wants to thank him for making the match. Ted Sr. gets Rhodes pumped up, discussing his father’s background and how *…he’s just a common man…* then says how its a travesty that the American Dream is in the Hall of Fame and that I’m not. Ted Sr. teases how he should make Cody go out there tonight in polka dots just like his father (insert Ted Sr’s trademark laugh)
Match 3: Cody Rhodes vs. Mark Henry
Pretty much a squash match. Henry hits the World’s Strongest Slam on Rhodes who then rolls out of the ring and gets counted out giving Mark Henry the win.
Video of Cena preparing for his Night of Champions tournament final match later tonight
Match 4: Ted Dibiase (Jr) vs WWE Champion Randy Orton
An excellent match between these two superstars. Dibiase with the early advantage hitting a baseball slide on Orton to the outside. Action leads back into the ring where Orton reverses an irish whip, hits a clothesline and begins to systematically pick apart Dibiase, stomping on his arms and legs. Orton hits an impaler DDT with Dibiase’s feet on the ropes. Goes for the cover but only a 2 count. Another attempt at a cover and another kick out at 2. Match finish has Dibiase and Orton fighting it out, countering each other’s maneuvers. Dibiase attempts to lock-in his Cobra Clutch Legsweep but is countered into the RKO. Orton with the cover and a hard fought win over his fellow Legacy cohort.
Segment: HHH is preparing for his match with Cena later. Josh Matthews interviews HHH about facing Cena later tonight for a chance at the WWE title. HHH says that if you are looking for “epic” look no further than this match tonight. HHH concludes the interview by saying that he will do anything to reclaim the WWE championship.
Segment: The VIP Lounge with MVP already at the lounge. His special guest tonight is one of RAW’s newest accquistions in the trade from last week… Jack Swagger! MVP welcomes Swagger to OUR (referring to the crowd) VIP lounge. MVP asks Swagger how it feels to be seen as a fraud after his actions last week on RAW. Swagger says that I’m a two-time two-time All american at the University of Oklahoma Know what that means? MVP retorts “What? You couldn’t get into a better school?” which draws some laughs from the crowd. Swagger then talks about MVP’s past. How MVP is a criminal and that if anyone is an “MVP” it should be me! MVP responds by saying that he doesn’t hide his past. That he made some bad choices but that he paid his debt to society LIKE A MAN (nice pop from the crowd). Swagger says MVP is a pathetic excuse for a human being. MVP says that a big difference between you and me is that Swagger while you run from a fight…(MVP removes his gold chains and shades)…me? I’ve never been afraid of a fight. Loud MVP chants following that last comment. Swagger slowly exits the ring saying how he doesn’t fight criminals. MVP says you don’t fight at all but if you ever want to fight me, you can find me right here in the VIP lounge where I’m straight up…Ballin!
Segment: Ted jr is on screen talking to his father, upset at him. Claiming that you set me up to lose against Orton tonight and that it’s still about you isn’t it? Well, now… it’s my time and a very loud slap to his dad’s face (the redness immediately visible). Ted jr says “Thanks a lot dad” and leaves.
Match 5: US Champion Kofi Kingston vs. Evan Bourne (non-title)
Very fast paced match with some mat wrestling mixed in. Bourne manages to connect with the Shooting Star Press on the US champion for the win! This should make Evan Bourne the number 1 contender for the US championship. After the match, Bourne and Kingston shake hands as the Big Show’s music and pyro hits. Big Show attacks both Bourne and Kingston, hitting a vicious spear on Bourne and then applying the Camel Clutch on Kingston.
Segment: Josh Matthews interviews Cena about their upcoming match. Cena recounts what HHH said earlier that when the WWE title is on the line, all bets are off indeed. Only one person can be champion…. and that it’s been too long since ive said these words: “The Champ Is Here!”
Main Event: Triple H vs. John Cena (Winner faces Orton at NoC for the WWE Championship)
Both HHH and Cena come out to loud ovations from the crowd. They stare each other down in the ring. Loud alternating “Let’s go Cena” and “Triple H” chants. This crowd is hot for tonight’s main event! Very similar to their match last year at Night of Champions however Legacy run out to the ring and interfere, attacking both Cena and HHH. Chioda calls for the bell and Lillian announces that due to the intereference, this match is ruled… Orton comes out onto the stage with a mic in hand cutting of Lillian saying yes yes we all know the result…. That it’s a double disqualification. Since no one won the match, Orton claims that neither Triple H or John Cena will face him at NoC for the title. Ted Sr. comes out and says Orton while you said nobody won, I see it as nobody lost. Therefore Orton, your match at Night of Champions will be a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Championship!
Dark Main Event: Legacy w/ Randy Orton vs. John Cena and Triple H
Before the match starts, Cena is on the mic telling everyone how tonight was like Wrestlemania in this building till Legacy so rudely interrupted their match. He tells Legacy (who are all standing on stage facing the ring) they have two options. Option 1, you can apologize to everyone in this arena for interrupting or 2… Cena stops talking as Legacy is methodically walking to the ring. Cena picks up again, I thought you might try that. As Legacy enters the ring, Orton gets into a stare down with Cena and HHH but Legacy quickly retreats to the back leaving Orton to fend for himself. Cena hits the Attitude Adjustment on Orton and Triple H hits the Pedigree as his music hits to end the match.
Legacy watching all of this up top the stage is suprised by Ted Sr’s music playing as he comes out and lays out his own son with a haymaker to the face which draws a loud cheer from the crowd.
HHH high-fives fans around ringside as Lillian thanks us for coming out tonight.
