Randy Orton Final Money in the Bank Participant
Let’s kick this post off with the complete results from the matches on the show:
- Randy Orton def. Ric Flair and Carlito (Triple Threat Elimination Money in the Bank Qualifying Match)
- Chris Masters def. Super Crazy (Master Lock Challenge)
- World Tag Team Champions John Cena & Shawn Michaels def. World’s Greatest Tag Team, Cade & Murdoch and MNM (Gauntlet Match)
- The Great Khali vs. Jeff Hardy (No Conntest)
- Women’s Champion Melina def. Torrie Wilson (Non Title Match)
The contract signing between Donald Trump and Mr. McMahon ran way over on time but it turned out to be pretty sweet (at least for fans who “dislike” Vince McMahon or at the very least like to see him get ruffed up every once in a while). After the contract was signed Umaga and his manager, Stone Cold, and Bobby Lashley all left the ring leaving just “The Donald” and the WWE owner in the ring. After threatening the give Trump a “Billionaire Bitch Slap” Trump came out on top pushing Vince across a table and onto the ring as Raw went off the air.
I would really like to see Cena and Michaels lose their titles because Raw feels like too much of a monopoly title wise right now. The didn’t lose them last night though after going through a gauntlet match ending in a steel cage with MNM. I hoped they would lose their titles before wrestlemania so there could be a title match there but if it’s going to happen it has to happen soon.
Not surprising to see Orton win to start the breakup of Rated RKO but Ric Flair didn’t turn heel as expected so they either ditched that plan or at the least postponed it. Raw actually did a good job both on their own show as well as promoting ECW. Next week’s Raw will be just several weeks before Wrestlemania and may help to shape some more matches of a still vacant card.
