RAW: 25/2/2008
Monday Night RAW was live at the U.S. Airways Center in Phoenix, Arizona. RAW had come back from a commercial. The recap from the WrestleMania XXIV Press Conference was shown, highlighting the Big Show/Mayweather match. The camera went to the General Manager's office and showed William Regal standing with Todd Grisham. "I'm standing by with Mr. William Regal, the Raw General Manager," explained Grisham. "Who I understand has a major announcement regarding tonight's Main Event here on Raw."
"I certainly do Todd," replied Regal. "You know, if there's one thing that the Big Show and Floyd Mayweather have shown us, is that nothing sells a big match like conflict. And tonight's Main Event on RAW, its going to be full of conflict. We're gonna have a tag team match, on one team, Mr. Kennedy and the Legend Killer Randy Orton, and on the other team, John Cena and Triple H." Regal paused and the fans cheered the announcement. Regal turned his attention back to Todd, "Go spread the word."
"Will do, thank you," said Grisham as he headed off. The camera then moved to the side and showed Y2J Chris Jericho standing next to William Regal. The fans let out another loud cheer, Jericho was so battered after the Elimination Chamber at No Way Out, that he wasn't able to appear on RAW the following night. But now Jericho was back.
"Hello Sunshine," greeted Regal.
"Hello, Sir William," responded Jericho.
"What happened with your hair? You look like a cockatoo," commented Regal,
"Oh thank you," replied Jericho. "Speaking of hair, yours is kind of gaudy all over like a spider, just perched on top of your head. Yeah, can I make you some tea?"
"Oh, wonderful," said Regal.
"You know, stir some lemon in there for you…"
"Look, what do you want?" asked Regal, cutting to the chase.
"You know what I want," answered Jericho, who suddenly got serious. "I made a request to be in the Money in the Bank Match at WrestleMania and I want to know what you had to say about it."
"Look, you've gotta qualify like everybody else," explained Regal. "But your Chris Jericho, you're special, aren't you? The Golden Boy. So you should have a special opponent. A man, who was not here last week due to how battered he was from the Elimination Chamber but he is returning to action tonight. You'll be facing the Intercontinental Champion, Bladewolf." Regal paused and once again the crowd cheered. "Oh, and that match is, next."
"Oh, well I wouldn't have it any other way, junior," said Jericho. "By the way, stripes and stripes… it's oosh." Jericho turned and headed off, then RAW went to a commercial break.
(AN: It's stupid for Jeff Hardy to face Chris Jericho in a MITB qualifying match when he's ALREADY qualified for it. WWE probably did it because of Jeff Hardy's drug problem then)
RAW came back from commercial and Chris Jericho's theme hit in the arena and out comes Y2J. Jericho stood on the stage with his back to the fans while Lillian began her introduction. "Ladies and gentlemen the following is a Money in the Bank Qualifying Match, where the winner will go on to compete in the Money in the Bank Match at WrestleMania XXIV! Introducing first, weighing in at two hundred and twenty-six pounds, Y2J...CHRIS JERICHO!"
Jericho heads down the ramp and rolls into the ring where he does a pose for a few seconds before looking at the WrestleMania XXIV sign hanging in the background. Jericho looks to go on to the Big Event, win the MITB, and get a shot at either the World Heavyweight Championship or the WWE Championship. Jericho's theme dies down as he waits for the returning Bladewolf to make his entrance.
OOOOOOWHOOOOOO!
Dark Side hits to cheers and out comes the Demon Wolf with the WWE Intercontinental Championship around his waist. His demonic hellfire eyes had a stone cold glare on them as he walks down the ramp towards the ring where Chris Jericho stood waiting for him.
"And his opponent, from Death Valley, weighing 310 lbs, he is the WWE Intercontinental Champion...THE BLADEWOLF!" Lillian finished her introductions and left the ring while Bladewolf got into the ring without taking his eyes off Jericho.
