Show: WWE RawDate: October 19th 2009
WWE RAW Opener
Snoop Dogg opens the show pulling up in a hot ride with the Bella Twins and Eve. They get in the ring, dance a little bit and he grabs the mic. He says he's a huge fan of WWE and his mindset is all business and not personal. He also says that this Sunday (at "Bragging Rights") that Raw was going to beat the hell out of Smackdown. He brings up John Cena's potential last night on Raw and his match against Triple H. He says that since Cena is in a match, it's only fair for Randy Orton to wrestle as well. Orton will face Ted DiBiase, Jr. later tonight. Not only that, Shawn Michaels will wrestle Chris Jericho.
He then introduces D-X and they make their way to the ring.
Michaels and Triple H make their usual entrance and grab mics. Hunter puts Snoop Dogg over again and says that anytime you have Snoop Dogg on the show, you have to have white guys come out and try to talk "his language". They make a few slang jokes and then get to business with "Bragging Rights". They say they have a team of "epic proportions" going against Team Smackdown (the likes of which show up on the big screen). Crowd actually boos Smackdown when they're mentioned, although they did cheer Cryme Tyme. Hunter and Shawn mock the heels of the team and really put Drew McEntyre and Eric Escobar claiming they have no idea who they are. They say that Smackdown's team fails in comparison to the team they've put together and Team Raw makes their way out to the ring.
The members of Team Raw all make their way out to the ring and they go down the line introducing each of them individually and while Shawn mentions them, Triple H makes the jokes. They get to Jack Swagger and Shawn says "American" 18 times as the joke against his "All American American" moniker. He then gets to Cody Rhodes and doesn't say anything and Rhodes grabs the microphone and introduces himself. Rhodes says if the team captains were based on talent, he would be the captain. He goes on to say that at the ppv, he may not tag anyone else in and he'll beat Team Smackdown by himself.
Big Rhodes then gets in his face and says that he doesn't care if he respects D-X, but he will respect him. He continues saying that if at anytime, if he thinks Rhodes (or anyone else) is going to let the team down, he'll take them out himself. Henry then asks if that's a threat and says if it is, then the two of them are definitely going to have a problem. Swagger gets the mic next and says he's miles ahead of both them athletically and on Sunday, they need to stand back, look intimidating, and let him do the work. Kofi breaks the commotion up saying that their fighting is exactly what Smackdown wants and they need to all get on the same page.
Kofi doesn't use his Jamaican accent and Triple H calls him out on it asking where it went. Shawn then gets the mic and they brush that off quickly saying that Kofi is right and that five of them have a tag team match coming up. Hunter says that if anyone of them gets beaten in that match, the person that beats them will take their place.
That match starts right now!

Rhodes/Swagger/Big Show/Kofi/Mark Henry vs MVP/Chavo Guerrero/Evan Bourne/Primo/Chris Masters Kofi and ChavoAre going at it when we return with Kofi getting the better of him. He tags Big Show and Mark Henry in at the same time and while they are arguing for a second, Rhodes runs in, but gets drop-kicked quickly. MVP then comes in and takes over for a few minutes until he tags in Evan Bourne. Bourne goes for a quick cover but Rhodes kicks out. Primo gets tagged in and the two of them go back and forth some. Rhodes hits the Cross Roads, but Swagger tags himself in and makes the quick pin.
WINNERS: Rhodes, Swagger, Big Show, Kofi, and Mark Henry
After the match, an argument between all five of them takes place and a fight breaks out with Big Show being the last man standing.
They then show a replay of last week's main event when Ted DiBiase steals the win from Randy Orton. The two of them will be fighting later tonight. It cuts to the back with Josh Matthews interviewing DiBiase. He says that last week, he didn't do anything Orton wouldn't do when he pinned him. He's a competitor and he wins. He said that Orton hasn't returned any of his calls and all of a sudden, Orton shows up. Orton says he betrayed him and DiBiase asks whether or not he would do the same thing if Orton was him. Orton says if I were you, I wouldn't fight back in their match later tonight and "finally show me the respect that I deserve". He said if he does that, there's a chance he will not throw him out of Legacy. He said if he does decide to fight, then he'll regret it for the rest of his life.

Randy Orton vs Ted DiBiase, Jr.
The two come to the middle of the ring and stare each other down for a second before separating. They then come back to the middle of the ring and hesitate before Orton finally kicks DiBiase in the stomach. Ted slowly rises and is hit with an uppercut. As it rises to his knees, a close up of his face shows him getting pissed. He still doesn't fight back though and gets a boot to the head by Orton. Orton bends down and starts taunting him before kicking his knee and then his stomach. He gets down into the face of DiBiase again and yells at him asking if he wants to him. Orton keeps stomping away and finally, DiBiase comes to his feet and gets into the face of Orton. Crowd is really behind DiBiase. Orton pie-faces him three times and pushes him off the ropes and DiBiase comes off and pushes Orton.
It looks like he wants to fight him, but he hesitates and dosn't. "Teddy" chant breaks out, but with DiBiase nearly in tears, he starts slowly settling down as Orton comes back and gets in his face waiting for him to do what it is he's going to do. DiBiase starts looking down at the ground and Orton grabs his face before deliving the RKO and geting the three-count.
WINNER: Randy Orton
COMMERCIALLou Albano tribute plays during the commercial break. We then get a sneak peak of Snoop Dogg's "Gangsta Luv" song.
We're back with Snoop Dogg and the ladies in the back. Hornswoggle then comes in, but is followed by Chavo. He puts over to Snoop Dogg how he's a Guerrero and he deserves some love. Jillian then comes in and says she demands a Diva title rematch tonight. She then starts "singing" Gin and Juice. Santino then comes dressed like Charlie Brown and acting "gangsta" until Snoop Dogg finally kicks them all out.
I'm now getting a message that Raw is experiencing technical difficulties.
We're back and Lawler and Cole promote the Jericho/Michaels match for later tonight. John Cena is shown in the back and his match with Triple H is next.
John Cena vs Triple H
Cena's out first, followed by Triple H. Prior to Triple H coming out, a "Cena" chant breaks out and he smiles an appreciative smile as this could be his last night on Raw (at least that's the way the announcers put it over). Bell sounds, they lock up and go to the mat with a lot of takes downs and reversals. Cena takes Hunter up onto his shoulders early, but Triple H quickly jumps off and takes a breather. A headlock take down by Cena. Triple H gets up, irish whip and Cena its a shoulder block followed by a hip top and a two-count. The ref backs Cena up so Hunter can get up.
They tie back up, lock hands and do a test of power with Cena getting the leverage until Triple H hits him with a knee. He then runs Cena into one of the turnbuckle corners. Cena throws a combination of punches and then charges Hunter, but is hit by a clothesline. Hunter goes for a cover, but Cena kicks out. Hunter whips Cena into the corner hard and Cena goes down. Large "Cena" chant breaking out. Another hard throw and Cena goes crashing back-first into the other corner. Two count, followed by a third irish whip into the corner. Hunter attempts a pedigree, but Cena reverses and launches Hunter to the corner flipping him over it and we take a break.

We're back and Hunter has the advantage. He hits a back-breaker on Cena, goes for a pin, but gets another two count. Hunter starts working over Cena's back with some knees and ramming him into the corner repeatedly. Cena starts trying to come back and they trade punches in the middle of the ring. Cena finally gets the upperhand with the punches and goes off the ropes, ducks a clothesline and hits a shoulder block. He goes back off the ropes for another shoulder block but Triple H ducks and Cena lands hard on the mat. When Cena quickly tries to take Hunter back up on his shoulders, Hunter jumps off and goes back to the knee. Cena suckers him in and while Hunter approaches him, Cena takes him down and tries to get his STF submission on him, but Triple H gets to the ropes.
Cena starts getting some offense in hitting a fisherman suplex, but Triple H reverses a bulldog. Triple H goes for a pedigree, but Cena reverses into the STF and locks it on. Triple H claws his way to the bottom rope, but before he can reach it, Cena drags him back to the middle of the ring. Triple H gets to the bottom rope, gets up and hits the Pedigree. He goes for the cover, but Cena gets his foot up on the rope.

We're back and Hunter again has the advantage. They show a replay from the break and Hunter threw Cena into the ring steps on the outside. Hunter counters another Attitude Adjustement attempt and locks a Figure Four on him. It shows Orton in the back watching the match as Cena reaches the ropes and breaks the hold. A couple of shoulder blocks from Cena, another slam, and the Five Knuckle Shuffle. He measures, takes Hunter up on his shoulders again, but Hunter counters and hits a couple of knees. A clothesline and a big spinebuster. Hunter then hits another pedigree, goes for the pin, but Cena kicks out! He tries for another one, but Cena takes him up and hits the Attitude Adjustment, but Hunter kicks out of that! Real good match up this point.
Cena goes to the top rope with Michael Cole putting over how rarely he does it. He tries a leg drop, but Hunter gets out of the way. He goes for another Pedigree, Cena counters into an Attitude Adjustment attempt, Hunter counters into a third Pedigree and finally gets the three count.
WINNER: Triple H
After the match, Cena slowly rises while Triple H rests on the corner. Hunter goes off and in a sign of respect, he helps Cena up and shakes his hand. Big ovation from the crowd for that. Triple H exits and Cena stays in the ring. Hunter's music stops and we hear a vague "Cena" chant as Orton is shown watching again from the back. Cena salutes the crowd and disappointed, he leaves the ring. He throws his arms up when he reaches the top of the entrance ramp.

Miz vs Some Jobber/Nope...Marty Jannetty
Before the ref could announce the jobber's name, Snoop Dogg comes on and says that Marty Jannetty is his opponent tonight due to what Miz said about him on Smackdown this past week. Bell sounds and we're underway...
Miz backs Jannetty into the corner and pushes him before being slapped by Jannetty. Jannetty goes for a quick roll-up, but gets a two count. Jannetty's offense doesn't last long before Miz hits a "brutal" clothesline. He then locks in a sleeper. Lots of "Marty" chants by the crowed. Marty comes to his feet and delivers a suplex. A high elbow followed by a clothesline and then a back body slam. Marty goes to the top rope and delivers a fist. Two count. Attempted bodyslam, but Miz reverses. A back and forth exchange between the two before Miz hits the Skull Crushing Finale and gets the win.
Winner: The Miz
We see Chavo Guerrero talking with Jillian in the back, but can't hear what they're saying, as we go to break. The Diva's Championship match between Jillian and Melina (won the title last week) is next.

DIVA'S CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH: Melina (c) vs Jillian
Bell sounds and as soon it does, Chavo (who's on the outside) jumps on and distracts the ref so Jillian can get the early advantage. She throws Melina into the corner, tries to charge her, but Melina counters. Chavo gets back up on the apron, but Hornswoggle comes out of nowhere and pulls him off the apron. Melina hits her finisher and gets the quick victory.
WINNER: Melina
After the match, Chavo catches Hornswoggle in the ring but Snoop Dogg runs out. Chavo pushes Hornswoggle down and pushes Snoop a few times. Hornswoggle gets on all fours behind Chavo and Snoop Dogg hits a clothesline. Chavo takes off his shirt and him and Snoop Dogg circle. Chavo charges with a clothesline, Snoop ducks, and lands a big spear. Chavo leaves and Snoop Dogg, Hornswoggle, and a host of divas (Bella's, Gail Kim, Kelly Kelly, and Eve I believe is all of them) come out and they all dance together.

We're back and get a video recap of the Orton/Cena build up followed by Cole and Lawler running down the "Bragging Rights" pay per view this Sunday.
We see Chris Jericho in the back walking and he'll be facing Shawn Michaels next.

Kyle Busch & Joey Logano to host Raw next week, by the way.
Shawn Michaels vs Chris Jericho
Jericho makes his way out to the ring, followed by HBK and we're underway. During Shawn's entrance, Cole did put over how HBK has been on Raw since the beginning 16 years ago. Jericho grabs a mic prior to the match and says that he could knock him out right now if he wanted to, but he didn't have to. He said Team Smackdown has an advantage because he's the captain and he's the best in the world. He said he used his leadership skills to form the better team that is going to defeat Team Raw this weekend. He said "we're" going to start right now with Shawn and Cryme Tyme's music hits as they enter the ring from the crowd. Shawn jumps out of the ring and Kane's music hits. He also comes out from the crowd followed by Ziggler, Escobar, and McEntyre. They all get in the ring and Kane's pyro explodes with Shawn still on the outside.
Jericho starts to talk, but the D-X music cuts him off and Hunter comes out followed by the rest of Team Raw. They come and stand by Michaels before getting into the ring and squaring off against Team Smackdown.
The two teams face each other in the middle and Hunter starts talking. He congratulates Jericho saying that he's done the impossible by giving Team Raw something that his team can all agree on: they don't like him or his show. He said although his team may have walked on to this show, they're about to get thrown off of it.
Enter Vickie Guerrero and her "Excuse Me".
She said that she can see where this is going, but the crowd forces her to continue excusing herself. She says as the "official consultant" of Team Smackdown, she will not allow this to happen. She says that Shawn and Hunter want a fight and they're going to get one, but it's not going to happen until this Sunday. She orders Team Smackdown to leave the ring and the arena now. A loud "You Suck" chant breaks out and Hunter gets on the mic telling Jericho and his team that they heard Vickie. He says to leave because he wouldn't want to get in trouble. He then says that Jericho is already in trouble because he works for Vickie Guerrero and the fight breaks out between all the men.
We go off the air with the fight continuing between the two teams.
