RAW: 5/3/2007

Monday Night RAW was live at the U.S. Airways Center in Phoenix, Arizona. Shawn Michaels was shown backstage when the Bladewolf walked up to him, metallic mask removed. He stared at Michaels with no emotion in his eyes.

"What do you want?" Shawn asks, raising an eyebrow.

"I just wanted to wish you good luck tonight against Randy Orton." Bladewolf said with no emotion in his voice as he stared coldly at Michaels.

"You know I don't need it, but if it helps...good luck against Edge tonight, even though you don't need luck." Shawn said as he pats his partner on the shoulder.

"I've heard the rumours about you and I know the history with you and your tag team partners in the past. Not surprising you stab them in the back but in your case, super kicked in the face, when you feel your ego is threatened and they would become bigger stars than you. But, for just this one night, I'll put that aside and watch your back in your match against Orton." Bladewolf said, still with no emotion and a blank look in his demonic hellfire eyes.

Shawn give shim a look. "I don't need nor do I want your help in my match out there, last time I offered you my help you straight up denied me right on the spot. So I'm gonna return the favour, so you just stay in the back while the Showstopper shows you how it's done, boy."

With that, Shawn walks away, leaving Bladewolf staring daggers at him.

The first match of the night is Shawn Michaels vs Randy Orton. Orton sprinted to the ring and decked Michaels in the head a few times before sending him into the ropes, looking for a back body drop. Michaels caught him and hit a swinging neck breaker before hitting a back body drop of his own then clotheslining Orton out to the floor. On his way down, Orton's noodle bounced off the announce table.

Michaels hip tossed Orton back into the ring before tossing him into the corner and laying some chops to his chest. He whipped Orton to the opposite buckle but got caught with a boot to the floor. Orton landed some European style uppercuts before choking out the #1 contender for the WWE title out on the ropes.

Orton bullied HBK into the corner and raked his eyes before sending HBK off the ropes and catching another boot to the face. Michaels charged at Orton but found himself back body dropped to the floor. Michaels landed flat on his back with a nasty bump. RAW went to commercial break.

*After the break*

RAW came back to HBK having a case of the crabs. The Boston types. He struggled to the ropes and managed to break the hold. Orton whipped Michaels to the ropes but had it reversed. HBK slapped on a sleeper. Orton countered out and went for a slam, but Michaels shifted hit weight and got a two count.

Michaels went to mess with Edge 'just because' before trying to make his way back into the ring. Orton caught him and did the feet on the ropes DDT, planting HBK's head into the mat. Orton kicked Michaels into the corner where he hit a standing drop kick before dropping a nasty knee across the back of HBK's neck. He went for a cover but only got a two count. Deciding to catch his wind a bit, he slapped on a rear chin lock.

HBK fought out with a back suplex that left both laid out on the mat. HBK chopped away at Orton's chest before hitting the flying forearm and nipping up. HBK floored Orton with two punches and then connected with the body slam. He mounted the top rope and hit the flying elbow.

Michaels tuned up the band but Orton blocked it and went for the RKO but was shoved into the official. Orton laid Michaels out with a lariat. Edge went for one of the belts and tossed it in Orton's direction, but the official intercepted it!. While Orton and Edge went nuts on the referee, HBK sneaked up on Orton and rolled him up for the pin fall victory.

After the match, Rated RKO tried to get their revenge and Orton hit an RKO onto the steel chair. He signaled for the con chair to when...

OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!

The lights go out after the wolf howl and when they come back on...THE BLADEWOLF IS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING! Bladewolf fights off Edge and Orton with hard rights and sends them into retreat, glaring daggers at them.

He turns to Shawn who is getting to his feet and and he turns around...INTO A GOOZLE! The crowd were shocked as Bladewolf lifts Shawn into the air but...he drops Shawn instead of hitting the Chokeslam. Shawn holds his throat as he looks at the Bladewolf, who was making it clear he can play this kind of game as well. Bladewolf leaves the ring as his theme plays and RAW goes to commercial...

Later

Bladewolf is shown in his locker room, putting his coat on, when Shawn enters the room. Bladewolf looks at him but Shawn speaks before he could. "look, I get why you pulled that stun out there, mind games and everything, you and your brothers know it better than anyone. But despite the warning shot earlier...I got your back tonight."

Bladewolf stared at him before he scoffed and picked up his titles and placed them on his shoulders. " "Hold on, I think you said these exact words to my face "I don't need nor do I want your help in my match out there, last time I offered you my help you straight up denied me right on the spot." So How about you stay here while I show you how it's really done, old man?"

that said, Bladewolf walks away to get get ready for his match.

Later

OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!

The Devil's Wolf plays to a loud pop and the lights dim to a blood red, casting a sinister glow as the Bladewolf walks out with his WWE Championship around his waist, his half of the World Tag Team Championships on his left shoulder. Bladewolf walks down the ramp and rolls into the ring. He takes his metallic mask off and tosses it aside before he takes his coat off.

Bladewolf hands his titles to someone at ringside and adjusts his elbow pads as he paces back and fourth. Edge's theme hits and out comes the Rated-R Superstar who halts on the stage just as MNM's music hit and Mercury, Nitro and Melina showed up.

Edge took the mic and said that he was so ready to kick the crap out of the Bladewolf right now. He said he was also a huge civil rights activist. He said Arizona was one of the last states to recognize MLK Jr. Day. He said he wouldn't wrestle with bigots. Instead, because Johnny Nitro's grandpa is black, he'll be wrestling him tonight.

Nitro comes down to the ring and enters as the referee calls for the bell.

'Ding! Ding! Ding!'

As soon as the bell rang, Bladewolf tackled Nitro into the corner and unloaded with a fury lefts and rights before hitting a punch to Nitro's jaw then uppercuts him. Bladewolf, pissed off he wasn't getting Edge, grabs Nitro and hits a German Suplex, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another, then another.

Nitro was lifeless at this point as the enraged Demon Wolf picks Nitro up for the finish but Mercury and Edge got on the ring apron but Bladewolf chased them off then turns and lifts Nitro up again...WHEN MERCURY ATTACKS HIM FROM BEHIND WITH A STEEL CHAIR!

'Ding! Ding! Ding!'

MNM hit the snap shot after the match before HBK came running down the ramp. He stopped however, and watched the beat down for a little while. He turned around and walked back up the ramp, appearing to ditch Bladewolf altogether. He thought the better of it and chased MNM off.

Shawn then starts leaving when Bladewolf calls for him and Shawn looks at him only to be given the bird to a loud pop. Shawn smirks as RAW went off the air...

And that's it for this chapter.
