Monday Night RAW: 2/4/2007
The RAW after WrestleMania 23 was live in Dayton, Ohio. A recap shows the highlights of WrestleMania 23 last night, showing Bladewolf defeating Shawn Michaels to retain the WWE Championship.
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
The Vengeful One plays to kick off Monday Night RAW to a pop and out comes the Bladewolf with the WWE Championship around his waist. He smirks before walking down the ramp towards the ring. He climbs onto the apron and enters through the middle rope, taking off his title to lift it. He places it on his left shoulder as he grabs a microphone, his theme dying down.
"I am still the WWE Champion." Bladewolf said with a smirk as fans cheered. He adjusts the title on his shoulder. "Last night, Shawn and I took each other to the absolute limit and yet I walked out the winner. For 126 days I have held this title and I will continue to hold it. 2007 is the year of the Bladewolf. I will beat every single Challenger that thinks they can take this title away from me. I will hold this title psst next year's WrestleMania, WrestleMania 24. I plan on holding this title for a very, VERY long time. I am still undefeated at WrestleMania, and Shawn Michaels has now been added to the list of men I've defeated at the grandest stage of them all."
Suddenly John Cena's theme hits to a pop and he comes out. Nobody has seen John Cena since the Royal Rumble. Cena smirks and makes his way down to the ring, Bladewolf watching him as he slides in and grabs a microphone.
"Did you miss me?" Cena asks and the crowd pops. Bladewolf just glares. "Boy, did I miss you. Unfortunately I wasn't cleared to compete after the Royal Rumble and ended up missing this year's WrestleMania. Make no mistake, that won't be happening at next year's WrestleMania. I'm back because I want to face you right now for the WWE Championship."
The crowd pops as Bladewolf looks around with a chuckle and shakes his head.
"Are you dumb or stupid?" Bladewolf asks. "The last time you and I got into the ring...I defeated you and destroyed you. And now you think you can just come back and be GIVEN a title shot against me? You may not back down from challenges, neither do I, but I refer fighting against someone who's EARNED their shot against me."
Suddenly Shawn Michaels' theme hits and he comes out to a pop, looking serious as he enters the ring with a microphone already in hand. "Pardon the interruption, gentlemen. John, welcome back,however you are not the only one wanting a match for the WWE Championship." Shawn gets in Bladewolf's face. "You and I set the bar last night, we took each other to hell and back, I faced your demon side yet I did loose. However, I want a rematch... And I want it right now."
The crowd cheers a little at wanting to see that. Bladewolf just glares at Shawn,however before he can say anything, Johnathan Coachman's music hits to boos and he comes out.
"Hold on there gentlemen." He calls out to them as the three superstars turn their attention to him. "While I would like to see all three of you battle each other tonight, Bladewolf, Michaels, you two are still the World Tag Team Champions and you two WILL be defending those titles against teams from SmackDown and ECW in a Battle Royal.
Bladewolf and Michaels glared at one another, knowing this wasn't over between them. The WWE Championship was all Michaels wanted and it was his one goal. RAW goes to commercial break.
Later
The Ric Flair & Carlito (w/Torrie) v. World's Greatest Tag Team match had passed and it was now time for the Battle Royal for the World Tag Team Championships. Michaels came to the ring with his title and waited for his partner but the Titantron showed Bladewolf in a destroyed locker room, laid out.
Coachman soon came out. "Shawn, since you've faced impossible odds before, you'll be defending the titles by your self." He said with a smirk.
Michaels did well in the match, staying in and eliminating everyone he can. He soon made it to the final and actually won the match. Michaels' theme plays as he celebrates his win.
"Hold on there!" Coachman said as he comes back out. "I forget to mention there was another team involved in this match. Please welcome... THE WOLFPACK!"
The Animal by Disturbed hits and Jackal and Bloodwolf walk out to a shocking pop. They had smirks on their faces as they walk down the ramp and enter the ring, Michaels was exhausted but still standing.
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
Jackal and Bloodwolf took Michaels down and assaulted him, the crowd booing the two men. Jackal stomps on Michaels' chest while Bloodwolf delivers elbows to the ribs of HBK.
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
The lights go out to a pop and when they come back on...THE BLADEWOLF'S IN THE RING! Jackal and Bloodwolf back off as Bladewolf glares coldly at them, standing in between them and Michaels. He takes a step towards them as HBK gets to his feet...BUT BLADEWOLF SUDDENLY HITS MICHAELS WITH A SPEAR!
The crowd popped in shock before booing as all three men ganged up on Michaels, it seems Bladewolf has turned Heel for the first time since 2002. The Wolfpack stomps, punches, and absolutely destroys Michaels. Jackal and Bloodwolf set him up on their shoulders while Bladewolf goes up...AND THEY HIT A TRIPLE POWERBOMB NECKBREAKER! JACKAL HOOKS THE LEG! ONE! TWO! THREE! WE HAVE NEW WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
The Animal plays as the Wolfpack stands tall. "Here are your winners and the NEW World Tag Team Champions... THE WOLFPACK!" Bladewolf gives the titles to Jackal and Bloodwolf before the trio howled as they were booed. A new era has dawned. The Wolfpack is back and they are all champions.
So, bet you weren't expecting the Heel turn. I think it was a good time especially since it was the RAW after WrestleMania and a lot of things happen the night after WrestleMania.
