This was supposed to be a huge event, since Vince McMahon was scheduled to return to television. It’s about time too.
Randy Orton defeated Santino, Kofi Kingston,Ted Dibiase, Cody Rhodes, Kane in a battle royal
This was a fast match, with nothing really to say about it. Orton and his legacy team basically took care of business, and threw everyone out. Then Legacy sacrificed themselves so that Orton would win, and he did just that.
Beth Phoenix defeated Kelly Kelly
Beth Phoenix did a few moves and dropped Kelly Kelly within a few minutes. This was a non match, as the champion really looked dominant to say the least. There wasn’t much to the match, by the time I looked up it was over.
CM Punk defeated William Regal in a no dq match for the Intercontinental Championship
We’ve been waiting for this one a while. Punk and Regal in a no dq match up, in Punk’s home town! I wasn’t too sure if Punk would get the nod, because the WWE likes to embarrass people in their home town. Regal was putting on a clinic at points, with some great counters and great suplexes. Punk got dropped on his head trying to do a bulldog, as Regal countered into a belly to back twisting suplex! Seriously, it was incredible, Punk looked like his neck broke, but it was all good. Punk was definitely looking like the winner as he was nearly hitting the GTS as Regal could not fight out of it even with several stiff shots to the face! THE GTS hit and CM PUNK wins one of the hardest fought Intercontinental championship matches I’ve seen in many years.
Cena and JBL had a contract signing where the table in the ring DID NOT get broken! That’s a first.
Rey Mysterio defeated Mike Knox via disqualification
Mike Knox basically dismantled Rey Mysterio. He was ruthless and was basically killing Rey Mysterio. Mike Knox got disqualified after a while since he didn’t stop attacking Rey Mysterio. This was ridiculous, I’ve never liked big wrestlers knocking out Rey Mysterio, never. That’s why Mysterio gets injured. This was a mugging, an assault, a terrible match up. I kid, this was hard hitting, and was ok at best. Nothing to see here.
Cryme Tyme defeated Miz & Morrison
Not much of a match up. This was fast and breezy, Miz and Morrison lose this match and Cryme Tyme will get a title shot down the road. Not great at all.
Melina defeated Jillian
This match wasn’t all that great. It was fast and easy yet again. The divas suck at wrestling, but this match proved it more again. Melina did manage to defeat Jillian, however it wasn’t all that great. Jillian was on the winning end for a good part of the match up, but Melina turned the tables and things got a little better. Santino and Beth Phoenix brought out Rosa and she helped beat up Melina after the match.
Funny gag was when McMahon showed up, Ziggler had nothing to say! Great comic routine.
McMahon’s return was greeted in ring with Chris Jericho coming out pleading for his job back and trying to get Stephanie McMahon fired! Chris Jericho would get his job back if he would apologize to Stephanie McMahon, which he did. Then Stephanie told Jericho that he had to apologize to the fans! The boos poured in and Y2J gets his job back. Orton came out later but at that point I was too tired to care. Orton slapped McMahon as he was about to get fired, then got PUNTED right in the head!

Cryme Tyme defeated Miz & Morrison
Melina defeated Jillian
On the surface this show should have been the best Raw ever! However, the matches were way too short, I mean more so than usual. The Intercontinental championship match up was great, I loved that, but outside of that, this night of Raw was not good at all. Maybe ECW can make it better.
