WWE Monday Night Raw 5/11/09 Review

Randy Orton came out and patronized the crowd on the mic. Batista came down to shake things up a little bit and that prompted Vickie Guerrero to come out and talk some nonsense. I was somewhat bored.

Ted Dibiase & Cody Rhodes defeated Batista via dq

This match was a handicap match and it was looking like Batista was in full control of this one. The match was all Batista, until Cody Rhodes threw a chair into the ring, Batista picked it up and was disqualified for “intent” to use a chair. That ended the match, and Batista loses via disqualification.

Kelly Kelly & Mickie James defeated Maryse & Jillian

Kelly seemed to have a few moved in this match, and I still say she’s getting better with every match. Jillian of course is a solid worker, and Maryse seems to look thepart more than actually wrestle. Mickie James seemed to be working on air in this match as she was flying around with perfect timing. I can’t believe how good she’s gotten in recent years, and her timing has really improved since the time she was stalking Trish Stratus. Mickie James hit a huge ddt on Maryse to win the match for her team. Overall, this was a short match with not a whole lot to offer, but it had it’s moments.

The Brian Kendrick defeated Carlito

Carlito had to wrestle The Brian Kendrick in this rematch to last week’s instant classic. Carlito is so crisp in ring now, he’s got a lot of confidence in the ring. He’s come a long way from being Carlito Caribbean Cool, defeating Cena in his opening match up. Kendrick had some great reversals, and fast paced action, eventually he mounted a good reversal, throwing Carlito into the ring post and rolling him up for a quick win.

The Miz defeated John Cena in an exhibition of sorts

John Cena finally got a chance to fight the loud mouth Miz. The Miz was coming out on Raw talking about ho he has beaten Cena and how he is better than Cena. Well now he gets a shot at really wrestling the guy, and this match proved to be a lot harder for The Miz than merely talking on the microphone. Cena was in full force after a steady amount of punishment by The Miz. Cena was going to hit his finishing move, but there was no ref in the ring, and so Vickie Guerrero came onto the big screen and basically stopped this match up….for a second….The Miz hit a huge ddt and The Miz was left there standing over him.

Santina defeated Beth Phoenix

Santina wrestled Beth Phoenix in this match up and it was weird. It was really weird to see Santino wrestling Beth Phoenix, it was just odd; Santina took the easy win with a roll up and this match was in the books. This was a terrible match up.

MVP had his VIP room at this point. His guest was William Regal. William Regal came out and just started talking about he hates the new draft members. Matt Hardy came out during this segment, and confronted William Regal. He said that he deserves a U.S title shot.

Kofi Kingston & MVP defeated Matt Hardy & William Regal

Chavo interrupted the VIP to set up a new match up that would start immediately. It was a tag match and when we returned from the break it was Hardy and Regal in full control of this match up. This match was slowing down fast, as William Regal was stretching Kofi Kingston and grounding his high flying offense, boring the crowd and me, since I was tired. MVP was straight up ballin, and was hitting his offense with ease after getting a hot tag. Matt Hardy kept faking that broken hand injury to his favor. MVP was on a roll against Regal, meanwhile Hardy ran away and left Regal alone in the ring against MVP, and after the drive by MVP wins for his team.

Legacy defeated Batista via dq

This was supposed to be a handicap match of sorts, but it was just Randy Orton getting the brunt of the punishment. Batista got a chair then got the ring steps and then brought them inside and he was really busting up Randy Orton. The rest of his cronies were no where in sight.

After Orton took a beating, out ran down the rest of the crew and Batista was just throwing down punishment. Raw ended with Batista looking super strong against Orton and his cronies.
