RAW: 2/4/2007
Monday Night RAW was live at the Nutter Center in Dayton, Ohio. It was the night after WrestleMania 23, one of the biggest nights after WrestleMania. Highlights of the show showed, such as Bladewolf going through a gruelling match and beating Shawn Michaels to retain his WWE Championship.
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 and his World Tag Team Championship on his left shoulder.
"And there is the man who retained his title last night at WrestleMania." JR said. "Last night, King...that was one of the biggest WrestleMania matches I have ever seen."
"I agree with you there, JR." Jerry nodded. "Bladewolf endured everything Shawn Michaels dished out and yet he still prevailed and won the match to go 9-0 at WrestleMania as well as retain is WWE Championship."
Bladewolf makes his way down the ramp and steps onto the ring apron then steps foot over the top rope and enters the ring. He pulls his hood down then removes his metallic mask and places it within his coat before he takes a microphone out from inside his coat.
Bladewolf slowly paces as he listens to the cheering from the fans, flipping his hair back to get it out of his eyes. he then begins to speak. "Welcome...to...Hell." he said to cheers from the fans.
Suddenly the DX theme and out comes Shawn Michaels to cheers from the fans. Michaels makes his way down the ramp with his World Tag Team Championship in hand. HBK enters the ring and stares down Bladewolf who stared back with a almost exhausted look in his eyes. Michaels' theme dies down as he grabs a microphone.
"Welcome to Hell indeed." Michaels said. "The Bladewolf's era still continues. Oh, this is like reliving a bad dream. Well, champ, this is usually the time the day after WrestleMania where I come out here, talk about the awesome match we had, and how once again the Heartbreak kid Shawn Michaels, the Showstopper, and his opponent made history. You see, Bladewolf, about our match...our match, it wasn't about screwjobs, it wasn't about mind games, it wasn't about massive mind games, brother! It wasn't about who got cheered or who got booed...It wasn't about who really was the better man between me and you, something that's been debated since WrestleMania 14 where you won and I lost, just like last night...and I don't like it. I am sick and tired of having to come out here, look guys in the eye, extend my hand and lie to myself and tell them that they were the better man. That ends tonight. Not again. Bladewolf, you may have won last night, but you know as well as I do...that we desire to do it again."
Bladewolf looks to the fans for a moment before he looks at Shawn and speaks. "You say this isn't about egos...yet it sounds to me like your whining because your ego can't accept defeat. You want to be angry, fine, but do NOT question me again. I don't care about the better man or anything like that. I already know what you came out here for, so no need to play games with me, because I accept your challenge and just want to kick the crap out of you far worse than last night."
He tossed the microphone aside and takes his coat off as the crowd cheers. The two men toss their titles aside and look ready to go when suddenly Johnathon Coachman's music hits and out comes RAW's GM.
"Gentlemen." Coachman said. "As per Mr. McMahon, the WWE Championship will not be defended here tonight." The crowd booed this. "You two seem to be forgetting something. You are the World Tag Team Champions despite all your differences. So you will defend those titles here tonight. But see, here's the twist..."
'You suck! You suck! You suck!' The crowd chanted.
"Here's the twist guys, I was able to contact all the other brands. And I personally arranged for you two to compete against not one team, not two teams, not even five! Tonight, you will compete in a ten team twenty-man over the top battle Royal! You're tag team titles will be on the line. And gentlemen, that tag team match begins right now."
King Booker's theme hits and out he comes with Finlay and Queen Sharmell. As they come down to the ring, RVD's theme hits and out comes RVD and Sabu. Bladewolf and Michaels share a look as RAW goes to commercial.
*After the commercial break*
RAW comes back from the break to show the match already underway just as Chris Masters and Kenny Dykstra are eliminated. As the match goes on, team after team were eliminated with Cryme Tyme being next, followed by Eugene & Hacksaw Jim Duggan, The Highlanders, Deuce & Domino, Matt Striker & Elijah Burke, Rob Van Dam & Sabu.
It then came down to Bladewolf & Shawn Michaels against King Booker & Finlay. Booker and Finlay worked over Bladewolf in the corner but Bladewolf began to fight back and fight out. Finlay got Bladewolf up on the ropes while Booker kept his eye on HBK. Bladewolf ducked under a clothesline and Finlay clattered into Booker. Bladewolf almost eliminated Finlay but the Irish man landed on the apron. He began to slug away at Bladewolf before...SHAWN MICHAELS HIT SWEET CHIN MUSIC! FINLAY AND BOOKER ARE ELIMINATED!
'Ding! Ding! Ding!'
Break it Down plays as both Bladewolf and Shawn fall down, exhausted. "Here are your winner and STILL the World Tag Team Champions, the Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels...AND THE BLADEWOLF!"
they hare just handed their titles when. "Hold up! Hold up!" Coachman comes back on. "Bladewolf, Shawn, congratulations, guys. Youw ere just victorious in part 1 of your title defence. You see I had a feeling that this might happen, so I arranged for a second ten team Battle Royal! And that begins...right now!"
The Hardy Boyz' theme hits and they come out to a loud pop from the fans as RAW goes to commercial.
*After the commercial break*
RAW comes back from the break and the match had just begun. The eliminations went in this order: Val Venis & Viscera, William Regal & Dave Taylor, Tommy Dreamer & The Sandman, Marcus Cor Von & Kevin Thorne.
RAW then went to another commercial break.
When the show came back, Bladewolf had just thrown the Miz over the top rope, eliminating Miz and Nitro from the match when eh turns around...INTO SWEET CHIN MUSIC! BLADEWOLF AND SHAWN MICHAELS ARE ELIMINATED THANKS TO SHAWN MICHAELS HIMSELF!
HBK left up the ramp saying he had 'one goal'. Apparently it's all about the WWE title.
The match went on with The Hardy Boyz winning the World Tag Team titles, ending the Bladewolf and Shawn Michaels' reign at 63 days...
And that's it for this chapter everyone, Bladewolf and Shawn michaels are no longer World Tag Team Champions.
