WWE Raw Recap - 12 OCT 09
ByThe Wrestling Page RAW Report - 12 October 09
Raw is Triple H began with Chris Jericho announcing a 7 on 7 Raw vs. Smackdown match at WWE Bragging Rights. Jericho announced that as captain of Smackdown, he will select people who will defeat Raw on the big PPV. At that point one of the guest Access Hollywood people cut Jericho off and said that Raw begins today with DX and not Jericho.
HHH came out by his lonesome saying that Michaels was home. So, he decided to call him live on the air. After Michaels said that he just read a story to his daughter, Triple H asked if it was the new DX book that Michaels read. Of course, Michaels buried the book saying that he wouldn’t read that piece of trash to her. Well, I wasn’t going to buy the book, anyway. So, after that, the phone call conluded as Jericho & Big Show joined the party.
Jericho came out and said that Big Show will be joining him on Smackdown because he said so. Triple H then said then that makes Jericho the pitcher and Big Show the catcher. Is this the “family friendly” show that the McMahons have been talking about lately? Big Show said that he actually carries the team. So they starting arguing and Big Show said he’s changed his mind and will join Triple H on the RAW team.
Triple H acted pleased, then said there were no more spaces for Big Show. Triple H then said that they would have to fight it out right here on RAW - and Big Show would EARN his spot on RAW.
Big Show vs. Chris Jericho
Big Show defeated Chris Jericho by count out. They argued after the match. It’s too early to break them up. This probably means that that Big Show shall be turning on the RAW guys.
We go to the back and the “special guest correspondent” from Access Hollywood interviews Cody Runnels & Ted Dibiase Jr. They said that they should be on team RAW for WWE Bragging rights. To that, they replied that they’re going to have to earn their spot by facing John Cena in a 3-way dance. She was alot better then some of the ladies they have doing interviews now.
Jillian Hall vs. Mickie James
Jillian hit an ugly looking power bomb with her feet on the ropes to win the Woman’s title.
After Jillian celebrating by singing, one of the Access Hollywood women appeared on the screen and said that she just made a major divas trade. After pausing for a moment of silence via non-existant cheers, she announced Melina as being the new Raw signing. She got a nice pop coming out and defeated Jillian in about 3 minutes. Did I just hear myself say - 3 minutes?
Snoop Dog will be the guest host of RAW next week. Quick, somebody call RVD. We go to the back where Hornswoggle walked in on Triple H talking to Shawn Michaels. Michaels’ music started to play we now see Hornswoggle dressed up and dancing ala Shawn Michaels. Triple H urged the showstopper not to look on TV to see what was going on. So of course, he looked on TV to see what was going on and freaked out. Hornswoggle then attacked a carboard cut out of Michaels. Yep. This was as dumb as it sounds.
We now go to Beth Phoenix in the back as she’s angry about being traded. She’s yelling at one of the guest hosts. Santino then appeared out of nowhere and suggested that one of the women face Phoenix tonight! The guest woman was less then thrilled.
Cody Runnels won a 3 way of Ted Dibiase Jr. & John Cena when he rolled up Cena after an Orton distraction. Dibiase Jr. was less than thrilled about Cody’s move. Good match. So now we know that The raw team for Bragging Rights is Triple H, Shawn Michaels, The Big Show, Cody Runnels, Jack Swagger, Kofi Kingston the Jamiacian from Ghana, Africa and the winner of the Mark Henry vs. Chris Masters winner from WWE Superstars.
Backstage, Legacy argued amongst each other. Orton said that he had everything under control and that in the main event match where he joins with John Cena to go against Runnels & Dibiase Jr., he won’t tag in. Next Chavo Guerrero was complaining to Triple H about not being in a Bragging Rights qualifier. As a result, Triple H decided to have one of the guest host women kick him. Ok, then. I wonder if the WWE writers know that Chavo can actually wrestle?
Kelly kelly, Gail Kim & Guest Host Woman vs. Beth Phoenix, Rosa Mendes & Alicia Fox
The faces won. I really wish they’d get rid of this division. There’s some horrific wrestling in the Woman’s division.
The Miz came out and did a promo on John Morrison, your Intercontinental Champion. The crowd screamed along with his “I’m Awesome” line - so he’s starting to get over.
Ted Dibiase Jr. & Cody Runnels defeated Randy Orton & John Cena.
As Orton promised, he tried not to tag in, but get got tagged in when he turned his back on Cena. Runnels and Dibiase went for a few roll-ups on Orton when this happened. Orton tagged back out, but then tagged back in when Cena nailed Dibiase Jr. with a Cena slam and a five knuckle shuffle. He attacked Cena, which allowed Dibiase to roll up Orton for the pin. Cena gave Orton and FU afterwoods.
Raw is over.
