WWE Monday Night Raw 6/15/09 Review

This show was live from Charlotte, NC and it was the three hour special. It started with a recap of the finale from last week’s Raw.

Chris Jericho defeated Rey Mysterio

This match started fast and furious with Rey Mysterio throwing himself at Jericho. A smart move to get the crowd involved, but it was Jericho who seemed like the veteran here. He took the onslaught, only to get Mysterio to make a mistake and land on his head on the outside, and Jericho looked like an outstanding champion! This match had a lot of near falls, with each man getting some nice pinning combinations. The shoulders squarely pinned, things were looking quite nice, but neither one could get more leverage than the others. After a picture perfect Moonsault from the middle rope, Jericho seemed to be on his way to losing this one! However, a quick twist of the mask and the Codebreaker later, Chris Jericho pinned Rey Mysterio clean in a 3 star match up! This was one hell of a match folks, if you missed this one, you really missed it; Chris Jericho proves yet again that he’s the best wrestler in the WWE right now, and although Mysterio had some great moments, it was Jericho that shined in the end.

Vince McMahon was backstage and he was ready to announce a new Raw General manager, and it was:

No one. Vince McMahon claims he sold WWE Raw. He said that after the world title match, that he would be selling Monday Night Raw to? We’d have to wait.

Tommy Dreamer defeated Christian

I haven’t seen Tommy Dreamer put on a good match since he was fighting Raven in ECW. This match was no different either. This was a very short match with very little going on, until a fast roll up and Tommy Dreamer winning with a school boy roll up. What the heck? What a terrible match. This match was a poor excuse for an ECW title match.

Randy Orton defeated John Cena ,The Big Show, and Triple H in the WWE Championship Match

This match started and continued with all competitors fighting in ring at the same time. Each one fighting each other, in different corners, in a crazy Texas Tornado style match up. The most dominant man in this match up was definitely The Big Show with huge shots against Cena, Orton and even a nice spear on Triple H! The Big Show just looked like he was getting ready to redeem his piece of crap title reign, where The Big Boss Man punked him out at his own fathers grave. Remember that? Lame. Orton missing the RKO was impressive, as Big Show flung him away! However, Triple H seemed like he would win with a Pedigree on Show, then he hit an Attitude Adjustment on Triple H, but couldn’t capitalize at all. Cena then picked up Big Show and hit a huge Attitude Adjustment on Big Show, then Randy Orton ran in and hit the RKO for a huge win and the title! This melee of an ending was really just frenetic, and slapped together, but it was effective as Randy Orton won the belt in this main event caliber match up.

So who owns Raw now?

Donald Trump! That’s right, Donal Trump now owns WWE Monday Night Raw! Weird huh? This is odd, seriously, odd. Donald Trump owns WWE Monday Night Raw? I’m not sure if this is true…I don’t know, seems really odd.

The first announcement is that WWE Monday Night Raw will be broadcasting commercial free next week!

Mickie James defeated Rosa Mendes

This match was a bit odd. Rosa is still green, and Mickie James doesn’t have much of a character outside of being a more accomplished wrestler. Maryse being a champion sucks, cause she can’t wrestle, so this whole match just seemed amateur at best. Mickie James won this match with somewhat an easy finish, and once again she proves she’s better than the other wrestlers on the roster.

The Miz beat up Goldust and Hornswoggle for apparently no reason. It was boring.

CM Punk defeated Edge and Jeff Hardy in the World Heavyweight Championship Match

This was a triple threat match and the fans were firmly behind Jeff Hardy, meanwhile I was firmly behind C.M Punk. The match had a back and forth movement to it, not one person had a clear advantage going into this match up, and it was as though the title was definitely up for grabs and anyone could have a shot at winning this thing. After a while it seemed as though Hardy was going to win, but the ever cunning Edge had the open floor to get the win with a sweet spear, but Punk reversed it into a powerslam! All three men were exchanging finishers, and with one of the best moves ever, Edge speared Hardy while Punk leaped over a running Edge! The timing on this set up was amazing, and if you missed it, you really missed it. If this moment wasn’t timed right, things would be terrible! Punk caught a knee full of the steel steps on the outside, and quite possibly might have been legit injured! Edge and Hardy were left in ring fighting it out and I wasn’t sure where things were headed. Punk managed to get back into the match, and got a beating from Hardy hitting Punk in the knee that appeared to be injured. A twist of fate set up a swanton bomb, and this thing looked like it was over! He hit Edge square but alas, Punk once again was there to protect his belt, rolled back into the ring and pinned Edge to win the match and retain his title! What a match up! Geez, WWE was given us ppv caliber match ups on tv, I don’t know why, but they were doing great with these bigger matches.

The Hart Dynasty vs The Colons no Contest

The Colons had their hands full against the Hart Dynasty. However, nothing could really happen as Legacy jumped into the ring and stomped out The Colons, the match being thrown out.

Triple H Won a ten man over the top rope battle royal

The participants were: MVP, Matt Hardy, Kofi Kingston, The Big Show, Cody Rhodes, Ted Dibiase, The Miz, Triple H , John Cena, William Regal

Big Show, since he was the biggest, was manhandling the majority of participants. However, he wasn’t throwing them over the top rope, he was just exerting his weight and power. I spoke too soon, because Big Show eliminated Matt Hardy and MVP back to back! The rest of the guys teamed up to get Big Show over the top rope, and they succeeded, eliminating Big Show! After a commercial break it looked as though Triple H would be holding down the roster, and my prediction was therefore adequately named Triple H. This match was taking way too long, with John Cena and Triple H looking like the strongest contenders in the match up.

The final four in this match up was Legacy, John Cena and Triple H! John Cena was cleaning house while Triple H was laying in the corner catching his breath. Cena, easily took care of Legacy single handed, eliminating Dibiase quickly and then throwing Cody Rhodes…only to get an assist from Triple H.

John Cena and Triple H fought each other but a Pedigree was hit first, Legacy ran back in and stomped out Triple H. They were obviously upset because he was trying to hold down the roster.

On the outside, The Miz was still in the match up and slithered his way into the match! However, he ran right over the top rope and while Cena wasn’t looking, he threw him over the top rope!

Triple H once again holds down the whole roster by winning this match and getting a shot at Randy Orton at The Bash in a couple of weeks.

Donald Trump came on screen and said that next week Triple H vs Randy Orton for the title will be on Raw! The match will be a Last Man Standing Match!
