John Cena and The Undertaker will team next Monday at Madison Square Garden on RAW.
After a blockbuster night a week earlier with Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne as the guest hosts, Monday Night RAW originated from Great Britain Monday evening.
Fifteen-time professional boxing champion Ricky the "Hitman" Hatton served as guest host in his home country, and it didn't take long for Jeri-Show to come out and get in Hatton's face.
The Unified WWE Tag Team Champions wasted little time in reminding Hatton that he was in a wrestling ring and not on his more comfortable boxing turf. The Big Show, who got knocked out at WrestleMania XXIV by Floyd Money Mayweather, threatened to deliver a knockout punch of his own to Hatton.
With Chris Jericho delivering his usual diatribe of the English language, DX came down to the ring to back up Hatton, not that he probably needed it. The stage was then set for later in the evening for a DX vs. Jeri-Show main event.
Before getting to the main event, the evening's matches were so-so.
Alicia Fox defeated Kelly Kelly and continues to be the number one contender for Melina's Divas champion belt. The two are scheduled to face off next Monday night when RAW originates from the World's Most Famous Arena, Madison Square Garden.
In other matches, “The Celtic Warrior” Sheamus beat the stuffing out of a local no-name who probably received a nice small check for getting beaten down.
“The All-American American” Jack Swagger was pinned by high-flying Evan Bourne, thanks to The Miz. Never at a loss for words, Miz came down and distracted Swagger just long enough for Bourne to hit “Air” Bourne and score the win.
In a match that had been put together from last week's events, former champ Randy Orton got an RKO on Mark Henry to score the win over the World's Strongest Man.
The more interesting drama in that matchup was the exchange of slaps to the face between Orton and Kofi Kingston, who was ringside for the match. Kingston left with a 2-1 advantage in facials on Orton.
“The Latin Warrior” Chavo Guerrero was left dazed and confused at the hands of Guest Host Ricky Hatton in a special Boxer Vs. Wrestler Match. Hatton delivered a stunnng right to Chavo's jaw which sent him down to the canvas for the knockout.
Finally, after a grueling battle in the main event, DX emerged victorious over Jeri-Show when The Big Show "accidentally" knocked out Jericho with a punch to the face. Shawn Michaels scooped up what was left of Jericho and got the 1-2-3.
While the show's quality was not up to the previous week, this coming Monday's show should be a winner, as WWE Hall of Famer “Rowdy” Roddy Piper will serve as the Guest Host of RAW at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Having had some legendary matches at MSG, Piper will no doubt bring some excitement to the show.
Before RAW went off the air last night, the big announcement came when it was announced that there would be a triple threat tag team match at MSG next Monday night.
