WWE RAW Results For Tonight

- Jerry "The King" Lawler and Jim Ross came out to the ring to a huge pop. Michael Cole got a ton of heel heat and quickly made his way to the Cole Mine.

- R-Truth came out first to begin the show. The crowd started off booing him but they calmed down. Truth said he's going to win his first WWE championship at Extreme Rules and would be a fighting champion. Cue John Morrison's music, who came out and said said Truth got lucky last week and had help in beating him. Morrison challenged Truth to a match with his spot in the Extreme Rules triple threat WWE title match on the line.

- John Morrison defeated R-Truth by pinfall after hitting Starship Pain and is now in the WWE title match at Extreme Rules, replacing R-Truth. After the match, Truth attacked Morrison at ringside. R-Truth grabbed a cigarette from a fan and started smoking it.

- Dolph Ziggler (w/Vickie Guerrero) defeated Evan Bourne. Vickie got the loudest reaction from the crowd yet, coming out to a thunderous round of boos. The finish came when Evan Bourne went for a Shooting Star Press and called an audible mid-way and landed on his feet. Ziggler nailed him with the Zig Zag for the pin - our correspondent said it was a great spot.

- A tribute video was aired for Edge and it was announced that Alberto Del Rio will host a retirement party for Edge this Friday on SmackDown.

- WWE Champion The Miz came out and talked about John Morrison replacing R-Trith in the triple threat match at Extreme Rules on 5/1. The Miz then revealed that match will be held inside a steel cage.

Miz sat on a chair in the middle of the ring and started running down London. Sin Cara's music hit and he interrupted Miz. John Cena then came out as well, to a very mixed reaction. The RAW General Manager booked Sin Cara and John Cena vs. The Miz and Alex Riley for tonight.

r-truth heel turn ... wheres cenas heel turn anyone think its more likely now miz will lose the title with Morrison in the match?

Nope, more chance Morrison will get completely buried.

its that or he's ditched melina and apologised for his behaviour

Is this Raw in the UK?

Any news on a giant jean luc picard sign?

Sin Cara booked straight away into the Miz/Cena main eventers after debuting last week.. Thats a sign on how the WWE view him.

You mean got a set of balls?

Its about time. The guy is pure talent. They did it with Del Rio, and now with Cin Cara. Wonder how the locker room will take it lol

remind me again what an audible is??

It's basically when something goes wrong in a match and you have to change something on the spot, therefore the 'worker' calls an 'audible' to make the change.

FYI....

A new Awesome Kong vignette aired. Edge will also appear live on SD! this week.

Eve Torres defeated Nikki Bella.

Michael Cole is knighted in an in-ring segment and then he demands that Jerry Lawler and Jim Ross both kiss his feet. Of course, they refuse and Jack Swagger then forces good ole' JR to kiss Cole's feet. Really.

Michael Cole returned to the Cole Mine and joined Josh Mathews. JR is gone at this point.

Sheamus defeated Santino Marella. Santino was helped to the back after the match.

CM Punk defeated Randy Orton in the main event. Crowd was split. Orton his Punk after the match with an RKO to end RAW.

The dark match main event had Randy Orton and John Cena defeating Miz and CM Punk to send the crowd home happy.

on the subject of awesome kong it appears she will be called kharma

Marky's trip to the O2;

Percy Watson beat Primo. Plenty of Primo sucks chants, Percy won with a finisher of some kind.

Superstars!

Maryse beat Natalya with her DDT after using the referee as a shield. Chants of "get your jubblies out" were definately heard.

Mark Henry beat Ted DiBiase with the World's Strongest Slam after he caught DiBiase off the top rope, best chant was "Henry is fat".

RAW!

I held up my Patrick Stewart Facepalm poster only at the beginning, when the pyro went off, and at no other time as I couldn't be bothered. So if you look for it, only look during the opening of Raw.

JR, Lawler and Cole on commentary, Cole in the Cole Mine.

R-Truth lost to Morrison with a typical rubbish Starship Pain, but we didn't know R-Truth lost his place in Extreme Rules until later.

R-Truth's heel turn was predictable in as much as I predicted it a good 4 seconds before he attacked Morrison, I can see Truth screwing Morrison over at Extreme Rules.

Dolph Ziggler with Vickie Excuse Me beat Evan Bourne clean when Bourne missed Air Bourne and Ziggler hit the Zig Zag. A bit of a typical match.

Miz came out with A-Ri and announced Extreme Rules is now Miz v Cena v Morrison in a Cage Match. We were all confused. A trampoline was dragged to the outside, so you'll never guess who interrupted Miz...

...Sin Cara. He got into the ring, and before anything was said, John Cena's music hit and he joined Sin Cara in the ring. With Cena and Sin Cara on one side Miz and Riley on the other, we knew what was going to happen.

But we had to wait for Cole to announce it via the Raw GM.

Cena and Sin Cara beat Miz and Riley when Cena hit an AA to Riley then Sin Cara hit a Springboard Moonsault to Riley.

Orton v Punk was announced for later.

Awesome Kong video.

Eve Torres beat Nikki Bella w/Divas Champion Brie Bella with a pin after what looked like an absolutely nothing move.

Cole got on the mic immediately and dismissed the diva's match. He says what we're all thinking. He says he will be knighted tonight. Out comes Swagger, carrying a robe for Cole. Out comes "Queen Elizabeth" to "God Save Our Queen". Wouldn't you know it, it wasn't the real Queen...

Queenie makes Cole "Sir Michael Cole", before sealing it with a kiss. Really.

Cole tells JR and Lawler they should kiss his feet. They get into the ring, Swagger takes out Lawler. Swagger takes JR down and puts him in the ankle lock while Cole makes JR kiss his foot. Successfully.

Lawler and Cole (in the Cole Mine) on commentary.

Santino v Sheamus, Sheamus brings up the Tea Party Santino embarrassed him with last time they were in England. Sheamus wins quickly with a Brogue Kick. Santino looks genuinely injured afterwards.

Punk v Orton. Decent cheer for Punk, MASSIVE cheer for Orton. Orton wins a weird match with a roll up. Duelling chants of "RKO" and "GTS". Punk looks shocked before New Nexus attacks. Mason Ryan sets up for a punt to Orton, until Punk stops him. Punk sets up for the punt but Orton RKO's Punk and escapes!

End of raw.

Aftershow - Punk and Miz v Cena and Orton.

As Orton comes out again, Punk hides in the Cole Mine to plenty of laughs. End is when Cena AA'd Punk for the 3. People cheered. Then they left. Yay.

Sounds like my kinda people.

So R-Truth's been bumped for Mike Knox & Batista's sponge? And he turned heel by smoking? What was the Chucking point of putting him in the match in the first place and the tension with John Cena then?

Bit disappointed they had the Randy Orton / CM Punk rematch on RAW, they're doing the same on Smackdown with Rey Mysterio & Cody Rhodes. Surely these feuds are going to continue on to Extreme Rules so why waste a match on TV?

Apparently they announced the Draft with a throwaway line in the Morrison promo, it's gonna be next week on the 25th.

So Kong's gonna be known as Kharma? They could have done worse I suppose. Is her catchphrase going to be "Kharma's a bitch!"?

Ziggler had a new look, i'm not sure weather it's better or not but it looks good nonetheless.

What sort of new look?

So is JoMo back in the title picture because VKM is getting a shot of Melina?

David Tails wrote:So is JoMo back in the title picture because VKM is getting a shot of Melina?

No, it's more likely that turning Truth heel will be pointless if Miz is going to pin him, as it will setup Heel v Heel which absolutely nobody will care about.

It's more likely to be that Truth costs Cena and Morrison, helps Miz retain which will get Cena out of the title picture.

If she runs off from confrontation, she could be called Chicken Kharma.

Instead of bleach blonde hair he had shorter hair and it was darker. Vickie introduced him, it's a good look.

I'm GLAAD you liked it, Miky.

So if R-Truth's turning heel and getting rid of the rapping does that mean he's gonna go for the bowler hat gimmick? Last night would have been the perfect place to introduce it too. Missed opportunity dammit!

I still think VKM has asked for a couple of goes with Melina to let JoMo back in the big picture.

Not sure about that one, Vince could have just had his way with Melina, it's not like JoMo would have said anything.

True enough...Maybe JoMo agreed to actually join in?

That and jumping from the wardrobe to the chest of drawers to the bedside cabinet in a spectacular manner. All followed by a slo-mo pose.

Corrected that for you, Champ.

Cheers buddy

Or maybe he managed to talk Batista in to coming back for a return match-up with his girl and VKM?

He's too busy filiming and studying the effect of grudges on Basketballs.

Maybe they could incorporate the filming aspect to it?

As for basketballs....Maybe Melina could fit some....nevermind

No, do carry on...

She probably has a couple of special storage areas for basketballs. Maybe Batista had to evict them before he could have a go and that is why he knows they don't hold grudges??

JoMo doesn't hold grudges either apparently. I hope he's keeping it all bottled up and then one day he just goes batf__k insane on RAW.

You mean he'll swear in a promo or take his jacket off in a slightly more vigourous manner?

I was thinking more he'll start rambling incoherently in a slo-mo fashion, or else tear out his hair in a slo-mo fashion. Then he'll start chewing on his furry boots.

In.





A.





Slo.







Mo.









Fashion.

I've just thought, R-Truth could use a line from Team America:

"I've just got one piece of bad news for you, Morrison".

"What's that?" (said in a slo-mo fashion)

"I'm a smoker".

Then he sets JoMo on fire.

I think Truth will be added to the match and Ziggler is now a dead ringer for Orton Crica 2004, Raw was awful and did anyone else catch Truth telling the crowd to shut the F up

He should shove a granny who's sitting in the front row.

That's the ultimate heel tactic.

I thought the ultimate heel tactic was yelling "I hate you too" at kids?

Surely its "<insert sports team> SUCKS!" whilst in that particular city.

He could say he's no longer American. Then he'll get into a debate with Jim Ross about whether or not the USA sucks and JR will trumpet the usual line:

"America! Love it or leave it BAH GAWD!"

Then R-Truth will say New Jersey sucks even though they're in Chicago.

I think R-Truth should just call every town they go to "Green Bay Wisconsin".

Truth should just lie about everything

Yeah that'll get the kids to hate him, call him R-Lie.

Just make him lie like Jay from the inbetweeners then have Cena beat the truth into him when he gets offended by a truth lie, its money

Poor Raw. Be nice if they gave us a half decent show in the UK for once.

I agree very poor raw.... Wow there's not much love for Morrison following the Mike Knox revelation! He's in love with a slut who has no respect for him poor oh dear!!
