RAW: 3/12/2007
Monday Night RAW was live at the North Charleston Coliseum in North Charleston, South Carolina. Chris Jericho's countdown aired and the pyro went off and here's Y2J to kick off Raw. He sauntered down to the ring and welcomed us all to Raw is Jericho.
When he came back two weeks ago, he wanted to be WWE Champion. He said Sanchico Marella was right though, that he couldn't just come out and instigate stuff with Bladewolf and get a title match. Instead he had to manipulate Bladewolf like a puppet and it got him the answer he needed. A clip aired of Bladewolf giving him his title shot.
Jericho announced the title match for Armageddon and promised there'd be a new WWE Champion.
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
Dark Side plays as fire explodes on the stage before the Bladewolf walks out with the WWE Championship around his waist. He walks down the ramp, never once taking his eyes off the man in the ring as he gets onto the ring apron then steps foot over the top rope.
He stares Jericho down while taking a microphone and his theme dies down afterwards. "First off, Jericho, you didn't manipulate me. Nobody can do so. I merely gave you what you wanted and that is a date with your end come Armageddon." Bladewolf said as he and Jericho circle one another. "You think you can easily get under my skin, boy? I doubt that. I have been WWE Champion for over 300 days, and I will not allow that reign to end because of you sticking your nose in my business. You come back after two years and get a title shot like you wanted, but what you really got was your death at my hands. At Armageddon, in a No Holds Barred match, I am going to drag your soul down to the darkest abyss in Hell and burn it."
"You think so?" Jericho raised an eyebrow. "May I remind you that i beat Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock in the same night to become Undisputed WWE Champion? You should know, you were there. I used to run my mouth about that but come Armageddon...it won't mean anything. Beating you is going to mean everything though because nobody has attempted to end you. That's how I will beat you, because I'm going to end you. Before I came back, I've beenw atching you since you won the title a year ago, watched all the men you beat, loved the WrestleMania match with Shawn Michaels, but eventually it's all gonna come to an end and I am going to be your end. Your reign ends as this year ends, Armageddon...will be YOUR Armageddon because I am going to beat you and become the new WWE Champion!"
The two were eye to eye now before William Regal's music aired and put a stop to the fun. He said he had a better idea than a brawl between them. Tonight will see Chris Jericho taking on Umaga while the Bladewolf will take on an old rival...Shawn Michaels!
Later
Chris Jericho was taking on Umaga and the match was currently in progress. Jericho is the one in control thanks largely to a springboard drop kick that sent the Samoan Bulldozer to the floor. Jericho slapped on an arm bar with some elbows to the face before getting tossed over the monster's shoulders.
Jericho came bounding off the ropes only to get lifted and tossed to the floor hard. Jericho struggled to get into the ring and ate a clothesline to the face before umaga hit a big splash for a two count.
Umaga worked Jericho over on the mat with punches and clubbing blows before slapping on his trusty shoulder vice. Jericho managed to wiggle out of the hold and trip Umaga up and into the bottom rope throat first. Jericho went to follow up only to eat a thrust kick to the face.
Umaga beat Jericho around the ring some before settling in one corner and pounding the bejesus out of him to set up the running ass to the face. Umaga roared and came rumbling in only to miss clean. Jericho mounted the top rope and hit a flying forearm that floored his foe, buying him some time to recover.
Both fought to their feet before Jericho came back with some strikes and a step up enzeguiri followed by the trusty bulldog. Jericho hit the lion sault and went for the cover but Umaga kicked out at two.
The momentum was short lived as he decked Jericho, sending him right back to the canvas. Umaga missed another splash attempt and Jericho started setting up the Codebreaker...
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
The wolf howl made Jericho look around with a frown as the lights flickered on and off before the stage explodes witha wall of fire. Jericho frowns at it befor ehe turns around...INTO A SAMOAN SPIKE! UMAGA HOOKS THE LEGS! ONE! TWO! THREE! UMAGA BEATS CHRIS JERICHO!
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
Umaga's theme plays as he celebrates his win. Bladewolf briefly shows up on the Titantron before it went to normal...
Later
It was time for Bladewolf vs Shawn Michaels. In the arena, Michaels' theme hits and out comes the Heartbreak Kid who faces Bladewolf once again but this time it's in a non-title match. Michaels enters the ring and his theme dies down as he waits for the WWE Champion.
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
Dark Side plays as fire explodes on the stage before the Bladewolf walks out with the WWE Championship around his waist. He walks down the ramp, never once taking his eyes off the man in the ring as he gets onto the ring apron then steps foot over the top rope. Bladewolf takes his coat off then hands his title to someone at ringside before his theme dies down.
The referee calls for the bell.
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
Bladewolf charges at Michaels and goes for a hard right but Michaels ducked it, gets Bladewolf into the corner and hits some big chest chops. Bladewolf grabs Michaels by the throat with both hands and tossed Michaels into the corner, unloading with lefts and rights on Michaels before he uppercuts Michaels which floors the Heartbreak kid to the mat.
Bladewolf grabs Michaels around the waist and goes for a German Suplex but Michaels lands on his feet and fakes a leg injury which causes the referee to step in and halt Bladewolf, giving Michaels the chance to hit a running forearm on the WWE Champion, hammering away at his masked face until Bladewolf shoves him off. Bladewolf getsto his feet, tackles Michaels into the corner and hits some shoulder thrusts to the stomach then works over the left arm of The Heartbreak Kid, tries to go up top, but Michaels keeps cutting him off.

Michaels jumped on the Bladewolf and got a few rights and lefts in. Michaels then lifted Bladewolf over the top rope to the outside. Michaels takes out Bladewolf with a kick to the back of the head and then goes back up to the ring apron...AND LEAPS OFF WITH A MOONSAULT BUT HE LANDS ON THE ANNOUNCE TABLE! BLADEWOLF MOVED OUT OF THE WAY!
Bladewolf was on his side, breathing heavily, before he gets to his feet and walks over to grab Michaels by the hair and tosses him back into the ring. Bladewolf climbs up to the top rope with Michaels unaware of this. Michaels stumbles to his feet and turns around...INTO A FLYING CLOTHESLINE!

Michaels Irish whips Bladewolf off the ropes but Bladewolf reverses it and Michaels comes back, ducking a right and goes for one of his own only for Bladewolf to grab his fist and stare him down before he twists Michaels' arm then grabs him with both hands by the neck and tosses him into the corner, right onto the top turnbuckle which sends Michaels out onto the ring apron.
Bladewolf walks forward but is met with a right hand from Michaels.

Michaels stumbles forward right into a hard shot to the jaw that floors the Heartbreak Kid.

Michaels stomps on the right knee, knowing he needs to take out the legs as that takes out the power in Bladewolf. Michaels continues to stomp on the right knee of the Bladewolf, leaning it against the bottom rope before he jumps up and gives it a hard stomp which makes Bladewolf yell in pain as he clutches his ankle. Michaels keeps up the assault on the knee. Michaels continues to work on the bad knee of the Bladewolf for a while.
