WWE Monday Night Raw 7/6/09 Review

Out came The Million Dollar Man with the Million Dollar Belt. He brought out Legacy! He played the good guy, bad guy role quite well. It was really cool. The Million Dollar Man really shook up Legacy in the wrong way, which was really cool.

Edge’s music hit and out came the Tag Team Champions!

Edge & Chris Jericho defeated The Colons

The Colons got another shot at their former belts, in this fast paced tag team match up. Jericho did a lot of the heavy lifting, as Edge is said to be nursing an injury, and that was fine by me. Jericho is on top of his game right now, and really showed with great stops along in the match to gloat. The match looked even handed until Jericho hit a Code Breaker and Edge the spear, to pick up the win. The Colon’s once again lose and the tag champs again are doing what they do best, win.

Like all tag teams that are ripped apart, Carlito attacked Primo. This will most likely set up a brother vs brother match.

Mickie James & Gail Kim defeated Alicia Fox & Maryse

Mickie James did most of the work in this site, progressively hitting each and every move with ease. Gail Kim did manage a couple of good shots, and had some nice moments. So good was Gail Kim that she hit one heck of a move, a one legged stunner of sorts, and pinned Maryse! That’s right, Gail Kim pinned Maryse! This was definitely a shocker to me since Gail Kim hasn’t been getting a lot of victories in the WWE since her arrival.

Mark Henry defeated Cody Rhodes via countout

Mark Henry has been getting a better push than anyone else in the WWE right now. At least from where I’m sitting, he’s been getting a way better deal than any other superstar. Last week he took out Orton and pinned him, and this week he was tormenting Cody Rhodes with some serious hits. At one point Cody Rhodes appeared to be leaving the match, and exiting via the ramp, that of course to a chorus of boo’s. He eventually got counted out, and that was that.

Randy Orton defeated Ted Dibiase Jr.

Orton basically out finessed Ted Dibiase Jr in the early moments of this match up. Dibiase did try for some cheap, fast ins, but his pins were to no avail, Randy Orton managed to keep his composure. The match kept getting better with Orton looking like he wasn’t prepared for this match to go this long. Orton blocked The Dream Street to hit the RKO and it was all said and done. Overall a good match up with some sore spots, but definitely a good power move on behalf of Orton, who must now respect Ted Dibiase Jr a little more now.

In MVP’s VIP Lounge, his guest was Jack Swagger. Jack Swagger started talking trash. It looked like a brawl would have ensued, but instead, Swagger left like a true coward.

Backstage Ted Dibiase Jr slapped his father, The Million Dollar Man! Sad.

Evan Bourne defeated Kofi Kingston

This match should’ve been an instant, high flying classic, but instead we were seeing a chain wrestling match up. These two didn’t lift off for a good portion of the match, with each one simply going for a basic slow build. Kofi introduced the high flying moments with a nice cross body block and nice dropkick. With a bump in the corner, Evan Bourne managed to get the Shooting Star press out of nowhere! He got the win, right when we thought things were going to get too boring, Kofi got a knee to the gut and it was over.

The Big show came out, lame.

Triple H vs John Cena ended in a double disqualification

I don’t know anyone that could believe this match was happening. I had my money on Triple H, simply because you can’t hold down the roster as the Intercontinental Champion, so he’s after the big prize. Triple H has the upper hand heading towards the middle of this match up. Cena played the face in this match, trying to power out of Triple H’s five move set, in which Triple H would counter with a rest hold to make the match seem intrinsically longer than it really was. The two were looking really tired, but managed to get back on their feet before Legacy pounced during the match causing a double disqualification.

The Million Dollar Man came out and announced a Triple threat match for the title at Night of Champions.

I knew this would happen. This sucked. Raw was ok, but this ending sucked.
