Monday Night RAW: 28/1/2007
Monday Night RAW was live in Dallas, Texas. 24 hours removed from the Royal Rumble. To kick off the show, DX's music hit and HBK came out and gave us crotch chops all around. JR and King put over HBK's performance at the Royal Rumble last night.
Last week he said that no mere mortal man would keep him from winning the Rumble last night. He said The Undertaker wasn't a mortal man. He said even though he didn't win, he still meant what he said last week. He said he would be, somehow, the next WWE Champion at Wrestlemania.
He said he knew that Taker could pick which title he went after on which brand he wanted. He said if he chose to face Batista or Lashley, that left the WWE Championship wide open. He said he was taking the opportunity to throw his hat in the ring.
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
The Vengeful One plays and out comes the reigning WWE Champion to a pop who has now held the WWE Championship for two months. Bladewolf walks down the ramp as highlights of his Last Man Standing match against John Cena last night are shown. It's also known that Cena wasn't here tonight due to the beating he was giving.
Bladewolf enters the ring and stares Shawn Michaels does as he pulls his coat hood down before grabbing a microphone, his theme dying down. Bladewolf and Michaels stare one another down as the crowd cheers.
"Once again, Shawn, you're ego is getting in the way of your judgement." Bladewolf stated as he coldly stares at the Heartbreak Kid. "You lost the Royal Rumble last night, and you automatically think my brother will choose Batista or Bobby Lashley? While I do have a...thrill at potentially facing you at WrestleMania for the WWE Championship, it's not my decision to make right now. I cannot choose anyone I wish to face until the Undertaker makes his decision. IF he doesn't chose to face me, then you get-"
Edge's theme cuts off the WWE Champion and one half of the World Tag Team Champions comes out to boos. Edge had a microphone in hand. "Shawn, I know you are so desperate to face the Bladewolf at WrestleMania for the WWE Championship, but you've had your shot and you failed last night. If anyone should be facing the Bladewolf at WrestleMania for the WWE Championship, it should be me!"
Randy Orton's theme plays and the other half of Rated-RKO and the World Tag Team Champions comes out, looking at Edge as they haven't been seeing eye to eye lately.
"Edge, last night it was every man for himself." Orton States. "And it's the same for the WWE Championship. Last year, you had multiple shots at being WWE Champion and you won it multiple times, while I have NEVER gotten a shot at it nor had a World title match against Bladewolf."
"Are you two idiots done bickering like children over a toy?" Bladewolf coldly spoke up, getting their attention. "If you are so desperate for a fight...then walk down that ramp, get into this ring and I'll give you what I gave John Cena last night." Bladewolf drops his microphone as Edge and Orton share a glance before they storm towards the ring.
"Hold on there!" Vince McMahon suddenly appeared on the screen, getting everyone's attention. "This is not how we're going to do things. This is fan Appreciation night and I'm going to give the audience what they want. Tonight for the main event, Randy Orton, Edge, you two will defend your World Tag Team Championships against the Bladewolf and his partner, Shawn Michaels!"
The crowd cheered loudly as Bladewolf and Shawn narrowed their eyes suspiciously at each other. RAW then went to a commercial break.
Later
It was time for the Main Event and Rated-RKO's theme plays and out comes the World Tag Team Champions. "The following tag team contest is scheduled for One-fall and it is for the World Tag Team Championships!" Lillian Garcia announced. "Introducing first, they are the World Tag Team Champions... RATED-RKO!"
Edge and Orton enter the ring and pose on the turnbuckles with their titles but there seemed to be a bit of distrust and dissention between them.
DX's theme hits and out comes Shawn Michaels. "And their opponents, first, from San Antonio, Texas, Degeneration X member, the Heartbreak Kid...SHAWN MICHAELS!" Michaels stops and gets on the apron, staring at Edge and Orton. Earlier, Shawn said Bladewolf wasn't Triple H but he'd do.
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
The Vengeful One hits and out comes the WWE Champion. Bladewolf walks down the ramp towards the ring. "And his partner, from Death Valley, weighing 275 lbs, he is the WWE Champion... THE BLADEWOLF!" Bladewolf enters the ring and takes off his trench coat, then gives his title to someone at ringside as the referee shows off the World Tag Team Championships.
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
HBK started us off with Edge. The two locked up and struggled all over the ring. HBK was whipped to the buckles but avoided the follow up attempt and hit some chops. Edge caught one of HBK's legs, but HBK slapped him and hit a back elbow to floor him.
HBK hit some chops on the ropes. Edge came off the ropes and HBK met him with a knee lift, flooring the champion. HBK hit a body slam and followed it up with a power elbow and went for the cover.
Michaels hits a DDT on Edge who kicked out of the cover attempt that followed it. Edge rolled to the corner and yanked HBK down on the buckles allowing himself to tag in Orton. Orton hit some upper cuts which left the former WWE Champion floored. He mounted Michaels and began to punch away at his head.
Bladewolf paced angrily on the apron as he watched his partner get beaten down. Michaels came roaring back with an Irish whip and a vertical suplex before going for a cover which Orton kicked out of. Michaels leaped and tagged in the Bladewolf who came in and took Orton down with a clothesline then one to Edge that sent him off the apron.
Bladewolf ducks a right from Orton and tackles the Legend Killer onto the mat where he unloads with lefts and rights before standing to his feet, grabs Orton and Irish whips him into the corner to hit a turnbuckle clothesline before pulling Orton into a DDT as RAW goes to commercial break.
*After commercial break*
RAW comes back to show Edge in the ring, a headlock applied on Bladewolf. Bladewolf was trying desperately to fight out of the hood as Michaels urged him on. Bladewolf slowly gets himself and Edge to their feet before tackling the Rated-R Superstar into the corner and drives his shoulder multiple times into Edge's gut before he rebounds off the ropes...INTO A SPEAR FROM EDGE! EDGE HOOKS THE LEG! ONE! TWO! THR-! BLADEWOLF KICKS OUT!
Edge tags in Orton who comes in and begins setting up for the RKO. Bladewolf gets to his feet, wobbly, and turns around... INTO AN RK-NO! BLADEWOLF PUSHES ORTON INTO THE ROPES! Orton turns to run at Bladewolf but gets lifted into a fireman's carry...AND HIT WITH A FIREMAN'S CARRY CUTTER!
Bladewolf laid on his back before he and Orton begins crawling towards their corners. Bladewolf then keeps...AND MAKES THE TAG TO HBK! HBK came in and took everyone out. He went into victory sequence with Edge before hitting his flying elbow. Michaels tuned up the band in the corner. Orton broke up the party though, ducking under a punch and hitting a drop kick to the gut. Edge rolled over and tagged in Orton officially.
Orton came in, looking for the RKO. Michaels barely blocked it and tagged in Bladewolf. Bladewolf gets Orton up onto his shoulders... AND HITS ANOTHER FIREMAN'S CARRY CUTTER! HE HOOKS THE LEGS! ONE! TWO! THREE! WE HAVE NEW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
The Vengeful One plays as Bladewolf gets to his feet. "Here are your winners and the NEW World Tag Team Champions... THE BLADEWOLF! And the Heartbreak Kid...SHAWN MICHAELS!"
The two are given their new titles but Michaels looked as if he was about to go for Sweet Chin Music but doesn't. Bladewolf stared him down when the Undertaker's gong hits to a loud reaction and Undertaker's theme plays as the Deadman rises from the stage and stares straight at his little brother who lifts the WWE Championship, is Undertaker challenging the WWE Champion?
And that's it for this chapter. Also, the name for the Fireman's Carry Cutter is The Wolf's Howl.
