00:05:30You see, last week, I may have been denied entry into the WrestleMania Diva Battle Royale
00:05:38by Vickie Guerrero, but it's okay. I went above her head.
00:05:44I went all the way to the top, to WWE President Jack Tunney.
00:05:52And he was very...
00:05:55Okay, well, apparently he passed away several years ago.
00:05:58But regardless, I will be heard.
00:06:02I'm like a modern day Gloria Steinem and David Crockett.
00:06:06I'm an equal rights pioneer.
00:06:10So maybe, maybe you guys had your little in-ring competition,
00:06:15but I'm going to have an in-ring swimsuit exhibition.
00:06:20Oh, wait a minute. This may be good.
00:06:23That's right.
00:06:24I'm going to show that I'm more dominant than all of you.
00:06:30Even you, Beth. I'm sorry. It's true. No, it's true.
00:06:34I'm going to prove to everybody that I deserve,
00:06:37that I have what it takes to be Miss WrestleMania.
00:06:42Oh, no. This may be bad.
00:06:43So, when this is all over, maybe you guys can get together,
00:06:48go in the back in the kitchen somewhere,
00:06:50and cook me up something tasty, like a calzone or something like that.
00:06:58Ladies, brace yourselves, for I'm about to unleash upon you
00:07:05something known as the Mancini.
00:07:09Hit my music.
00:07:12Oh, no. The Mancini.
00:07:15Oh, my.
00:07:20Oh, my.
00:07:36Phoenix is...
00:07:38I don't even think Beth has seen this side of Santino before.
00:07:50Oh, no.
00:07:56All the Divas take an exception to the fact that Santino wants to be
00:08:00in the Diva Battle Royal at WrestleMania.
00:08:02He wants to be Miss WrestleMania.
00:08:04I think he's lost his Mancini.
00:08:05No, he's still got his Mancini on. Thank goodness.
00:08:11Can you imagine Santino as Miss WrestleMania?
00:08:15Cover him up.
00:08:19Ladies and gentlemen, 25th anniversary of WrestleMania.
00:08:24Of course, six nights away this coming Sunday.
00:08:26And on a serious note, King, the WWE Championship is on the line
00:08:30in one of the most personal match-ups in WrestleMania history.
00:08:32Triple H versus Randy Orton.
00:08:35Well, you know, Randy Orton's actions last week with Triple H and Stephanie,
00:08:40absolutely inexcusable.
00:08:41I mean, just way over the line.
00:08:43Well, ladies and gentlemen, last week, Randy Orton promised to up the ante
00:08:47in his version of Orton's Law.
00:08:52It is Triple H versus Randy Orton and Ted DiBiase
00:08:56in a two-on-one handicap match-up.
00:08:58A taste of WrestleMania here tonight.
00:09:02Triple H, you need to remember exactly who you're dealing with.
00:09:08This may not even be an official match.
00:09:09The referee may not be able to get control of this to even get it started here.
00:09:14Hey, wait a minute.
00:09:16The game was going under the ring for something, and then Cody Rhodes was there.
00:09:20I'm going to do something that makes the previous assaults on your family look tame.
00:09:26They've got Triple H handcuffed to the top rope.
00:09:28There's only one person that can save you now, Triple H.
00:09:35And she had better hurry.
00:09:41Hold him.
00:09:42Hold him.
00:09:45Hold him.
00:09:56Get back!
00:09:57I got it!
00:09:59Touchdown!
00:10:46Hmm.
00:10:47I'm going to do something that makes the previous assaults on your family look tame.
00:11:45Well, some say he's sick, demented, twisted.
00:12:07You have to wonder what Randy Orton will have to say after his
00:12:10reprehensible actions last week towards Triple H and his wife, Stephanie McMahon.
00:12:14We'll find out tonight from Randy Orton.
00:12:17And talking about questionable actions.
00:12:20Up next, Chris Jericho's assault on WWE legends may end tonight,
00:12:25as Hall of Famer Jerry The King Lawler looks to take him to task.
00:12:30Good luck, King.
00:12:32It's Jerry The King Lawler versus Chris Jericho, live next.
00:12:37This next match is set for one fall, in the ring, from Memphis, Tennessee,
00:12:43Hall of Famer Jerry The King Lawler.
00:12:46And it was the assault that you just saw by Chris Jericho and Ric Flair that led Hall
00:12:51of Famer Jerry The King Lawler to issue this challenge here tonight.
00:12:58Break the wall!
00:12:59Break the wall!
00:13:04And weighing in at 226 pounds, Chris Jericho!
00:13:18Well, last week before Jericho's hellacious assault, Ric Flair accepted
00:13:23Jericho's WrestleMania challenge on behalf of the other legends.
00:13:27Ric Flair will be in their corner as Chris Jericho meets Roddy Piper,
00:13:32Ricky The Dragon Steamboat, and Superfly Jimmy Snuka.
00:13:37Now, the rules of this match are this.
00:13:40Chris Jericho must beat all three of those legends individually,
00:13:46where the legends only have to beat Jericho one time,
00:13:50Sunday in the 25th anniversary of WrestleMania.
00:13:56Jericho has been on this crusade to teach a lesson and put an end to what he considers the
00:14:01embarrassing careers of these legends ever since he watched the Mickey Rourke movie,
00:14:06The Wrestler.
00:14:07In fact, Jericho has invited Rourke to be at WrestleMania to watch his match Sunday.
00:14:23I came telling you earlier today that Chris Jericho, his mind went way over the line last
00:14:28week.
00:14:38And here comes The King.
00:14:42Jericho crushing that gold watch that was given to Ric Flair following Shawn Michael's Ric Flair
00:14:48match at WrestleMania last year, the watch given by Shawn.
00:15:03The man who has been belittling and disparaging legends for weeks and weeks.
00:15:19Jericho claiming these legends of a sickness, that they need the spotlight, that they crave it.
00:15:34As these words are prostituting themselves and leeching off this business.
00:15:39He's called the men like Piper and Snuka clowns and puppets.
00:15:49These are legends to be revered in this industry who paved the way for people like Chris Jericho.
00:15:58And yet the amount of disrespect.
00:16:13Up there, ladies and gentlemen, just a nutshell of what Chris Jericho has been about.
00:16:27Has to put legends in their place in his words.
00:16:34Jerry the King Lawler looking to put Jericho in his place here on Raw.
00:16:42Vintage King Lawler as the straps go down.
00:16:54And here comes the man who's taking up the legends crusade for the night.
00:17:04Each of those punches for Piper and Steamboat and Snuka and Flair.
00:17:12Says what Jericho did last week.
00:17:30Here comes Jericho. King on his belly.
00:17:32Walls of Jericho locked in. King has no choice but to tap out.
00:17:43Chris Jericho.
00:17:45Tonight, Chris Jericho defeated the legendary Jerry the King Lawler.
00:17:49Sunday at WrestleMania, he looks to take out Snuka, Steamboat and Piper with Ric Flair in their corner.
00:17:57But remember, Jericho must beat all three of those legends individually on Sunday.
00:18:04Jericho claims he'll allow those legends to, quote, bask in the cheers for one final time.
00:18:34And King shuts up Jericho for now.
00:18:59You want me back in that ring Lawler, huh?
00:19:01Forget it. I already beat you. I already beat you Lawler.
00:19:14And when it comes to Snuka and Steamboat and Piper at WrestleMania, it's not a question about how I'm going to beat them.
00:19:21It's how badly I'm going to beat them. Am I going to pin them?
00:19:25Will I make them tap out like I just did with Lawler?
00:19:28Or will I annihilate them like I did to Ric Flair last week?
00:19:38You see, at WrestleMania, I know I'm going to be called heartless and disrespectful by all of you parasites.
00:19:46But I want to remind you, I did not start this.
00:19:50This was started by Mickey Rourke making a challenge that he refused to back up on the ring.
00:19:56And now due to one Mickey Rourke's night of false bravado, his three friends are ultimately going to see their demise.
00:20:06Piper, Steamboat, Snuka at WrestleMania.
00:20:12I will beat you. I will embarrass you.
00:20:16And I will eliminate and eradicate you from this business forever.
00:20:22After WrestleMania, only one name will be synonymous with the word legend.
00:20:28And that is the name of Chris Jericho.
00:20:32Bold words for Chris Jericho as he heads for WrestleMania.
00:20:44But for John Cena tonight, it is a challenge from the Big Show.
00:20:48Big Show made the challenge on SmackDown.
00:20:50The OV's game, Cena accepted.
00:20:52Tonight, a WrestleMania sneak peek.
00:20:54Two-third of Sunday's whole title match.
00:20:56Cena versus the Big Show tonight.
00:21:18Match underway between Edge and Cena.
00:21:20John Cena's rolling.
00:21:22What on earth?
00:21:24The world's largest athlete.
00:21:26Look at John Cena go.
00:21:28Taking it right to the big man.
00:21:30Now here's Edge back up.
00:21:32Edge and Big Show are actually working together.
00:21:36With a common goal of eliminating Cena.
00:21:38Wait a minute, Cena's in bad trouble now.
00:21:40Helpless.
00:21:42Go, go.
00:21:48Now this match underway.
00:21:50World Champion Edge against the Big Show.
00:21:52Hey, wait a minute.
00:21:54Don't throw him.
00:21:56This is not going to be good for Edge.
00:21:58Oh, and a right hand.
00:22:00A devastating right-handed punch.
00:22:02Right to the jaw of Edge.
00:22:04Cena was knocked down by the Big Show.
00:22:06Now Edge has been knocked down by the Big Show.
00:22:14Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the ring,
00:22:17Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome
00:22:19my guest at this time,
00:22:21John Cena.
00:22:25John, we're just six days away
00:22:27from the 25th anniversary of WrestleMania
00:22:29where you face not one, but two opponents.
00:22:31Of course, the world's largest athlete
00:22:33and the Big Show and the rated R's.
00:22:43Given his opponents at WrestleMania,
00:22:45the chances of John Cena walking out
00:22:47as champion are virtually non-existent.
00:22:59But it doesn't have to be that way.
00:23:01You know, two weeks ago,
00:23:03on Raw, the Big Show, he knocked you out.
00:23:07Last week on Raw, he knocked
00:23:09me out.
00:23:11He's seven feet tall.
00:23:13He's 450 pounds on a light day.
00:23:17He could pick us off at will.
00:23:21But it doesn't have to be that way.
00:23:25If we could put aside our differences,
00:23:27we could take out the Big Show.
00:23:29And then once we do that, we can beat the hell
00:23:31out of each other all night long.
00:23:35But make no mistake about it, unless we do that,
00:23:37unless we get on the same page,
00:23:39you and I are sitting ducks.
00:23:43So do we have an understanding?
00:23:49It makes perfect sense.
00:23:53It's intelligent, it's logical.
00:23:55Maybe the only way to take out the Big Show.
00:24:00But I don't care.
00:24:02You see, I don't like you, and I've never trusted you.
00:24:06And to be quite honest, Edge,
00:24:08I'd rather lose on my own
00:24:10than win with your help.
00:24:13But the thing is,
00:24:15neither one of those is gonna happen.
00:24:17Because I told you on SmackDown,
00:24:19I'm going to WrestleMania
00:24:22to be the World Heavyweight Champion.
00:24:35And that's about the World Championship
00:24:37this coming Sunday in WrestleMania.
00:24:39But the WWE title also on the line.
00:24:41Triple H vs. Randy Orton.
00:24:43And ladies and gentlemen, later on tonight,
00:24:45Randy Orton is planning what he calls
00:24:47his WrestleMania dress.
00:24:49To try to shed some light on what Orton might say,
00:24:51his legacy colleagues, DiBiase and Rhodes.
00:24:53Guys, what is Randy Orton planning
00:24:55here tonight?
00:24:57Well, Michael, Randy has some very important things
00:24:59to say tonight. Things regarding
00:25:01the events that occurred last week
00:25:03with Triple H, his wife Stephanie,
00:25:07and the whole McMahon family.
00:25:09That's not the reason
00:25:11for his address later tonight.
00:25:13What Randy has planned
00:25:15isn't just for Triple H.
00:25:17It's for the entire WWE
00:25:19universe. It affects
00:25:21everyone.
00:25:23Because after WrestleMania,
00:25:25everything you know about the
00:25:27WWE, it changes
00:25:29forever.
00:25:35Well, gentlemen, thanks for joining us.
00:25:37It takes place later on tonight, live on
00:25:39Monday Night Raw, Randy Orton's
00:25:41WrestleMania dress, which as
00:25:43DiBiase said, could change the
00:25:45WWE universe forever.
00:25:47♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪♪�
00:26:17Tonight, cable's most-watched television show,
00:26:20Monday Night Raw, is live in front of 16,580 WWE fans.
00:26:26Tonight's Monday Night Raw is presented by Just For Men.
00:26:28Stay in the game with Just For Men hair color.
00:26:31And presented by the new Quiznos Toasty Torpedo.
00:26:34Only $4.
00:26:35Quiznos, mm-mm-mm Toasty.
00:26:39Ladies and gentlemen, moments ago,
00:26:41we missed what Shawn Michaels had to say.
00:26:48You were expecting someone else?
00:26:54Well, we were expecting the Undertaker's funeral
00:26:57for Shawn Michaels here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
00:26:59Obviously, the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels,
00:27:01has other ideas on what has been
00:27:04an unbelievable rollercoaster ride of a show already.
00:27:06As my broadcast colleague, Jerry, the King Lawler,
00:27:09off his mats with Chris Jericho,
00:27:11heads back down here to ringside
00:27:12to resume with his announcing duties.
00:27:15But already tonight on Monday Night Raw,
00:27:16we've seen Santino in a Mancini.
00:27:19We've seen the King take on Chris Jericho.
00:27:21And now we have a bit of a WrestleMania preview.
00:27:24♪♪
00:27:26♪♪
00:27:31♪♪
00:27:36♪♪
00:27:42The following is a given for watchdogs.
00:27:45This is the first for the city of California.
00:27:48Weighing in at 175 pounds,
00:27:52Rey Mysterio!
00:27:54Now, King, you missed a lot when you were away, buddy,
00:27:56but nonetheless, Rey Mysterio getting set to take
00:27:59on JBL here tonight on Monday Night Raw.
00:28:01This past Friday night on SmackDown,
00:28:03Rey Mysterio was on the show.
00:28:05Good matchup against Chavo Guerrero,
00:28:07and he looks ready for his Intercontinental Championship
00:28:09match at WrestleMania.
00:28:10Well, you're right. Rey Mysterio hit that 619,
00:28:13but then out of nowhere...
00:28:16Oh, my goodness.
00:28:19JBL with that huge boot to the side of Rey Mysterio's head
00:28:23sending Rey a message.
00:28:25Well, will that be the case?
00:28:26Will that be what happens this coming Sunday
00:28:28with the Intercontinental Champion,
00:28:30John Bradshaw Layfield defends his title
00:28:32against that man, Rey Mysterio.
00:28:36Mysterio's missed the past two WrestleMania's
00:28:38because of injury.
00:28:39He vows to win the Intercontinental title
00:28:41this time around.
00:28:43You know, JBL is about to make history at WrestleMania.
00:28:47♪♪
00:28:57I can only think that, uh,
00:29:00listening to JBL, he plans to make history
00:29:02by dominating his match over Rey Mysterio
00:29:06like no one's ever dominated in a WrestleMania match.
00:29:10♪♪
00:29:14Says he's gonna march into his home state of Texas
00:29:16as champion and do something historic
00:29:19at the 25th anniversary of WrestleMania.
00:29:23Come on, star, Rey.
00:29:25Come on, star.
00:29:27I said on SmackDown that I was gonna deliver
00:29:30the most decisive victory in WrestleMania history.
00:29:35Well, tonight, this is psychological.
00:29:40You see, I asked for this
00:29:42because I'm gonna beat you tonight
00:29:44within an inch of your life
00:29:46to let you know that in six days,
00:29:48on the grandest stage of them all,
00:29:51we're gonna have the most decisive victory
00:29:53in six days, on the grandest stage of them all,
00:29:57with the lights on bright,
00:29:58the biggest pay-per-view in wrestling history.
00:30:03♪♪
00:30:07And you will be history,
00:30:10so don't take it personally, amigo.
00:30:14♪♪
00:30:24A non-title matchup here tonight on Monday Night Raw, King,
00:30:26but the question is, is this a wise move
00:30:29for John Bradshaw Layfield?
00:30:31Or the same question can be asked about
00:30:33William Mysterio any time is it wise
00:30:35to get in the ring with JBL.
00:30:38I mean, strange things happening tonight, King.
00:30:41We saw Shawn Michaels pop out of the casket moments ago
00:30:46on a night where The Undertaker, we were told,
00:30:48was planning Shawn Michaels' funeral.
00:30:50Yeah, early on when I saw the arrival of that hearse,
00:30:52I would have bet my house that The Undertaker was inside,
00:30:56and instead, HBK.
00:30:58And then Legacy telling us
00:31:00that Randy Orton's WrestleMania address tonight
00:31:03will concern the entire WWE universe.
00:31:06It will change it forever.
00:31:09Oh, look at the size difference here.
00:31:11Rey Mysterio, JBL,
00:31:13and JBL in a precarious situation here.
00:31:16Oh, and there's the power of JBL.
00:31:20And JBL, oh, you may have underestimated
00:31:23the amount of injury that Rey Mysterio had sustained,
00:31:30but now Rey down.
00:31:33JBL is dominating Mysterio thus far.
00:31:35Will he gain the upper hand heading to WrestleMania?
00:31:38We'll find out when Raw continues live.
00:31:42We're back live on Monday Night Raw.
00:31:44Whetting your appetite for Sunday's WrestleMania.
00:31:46It is JBL versus Rey Mysterio.
00:31:49And Mysterio caught in the grips of JBL.
00:31:51With a fallaway slam.
00:31:53It has been all JBL, King,
00:31:55physically dominating, bullying Mysterio.
00:31:58Well, that's what this match was all about, according to JBL.
00:32:02He said he wanted to, well, just actually intimidate
00:32:07and send a message to Rey.
00:32:08And so far, it's exactly what he's done.
00:32:10I mean, Rey's going to have to go home after the night
00:32:11and think, can he win at WrestleMania?
00:32:14JBL, the Intercontinental Champion,
00:32:17vows to make history, do something historic.
00:32:20This coming Sunday night at Reliant Stadium in Houston.
00:32:24Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
00:32:28He might be doing something historic here tonight.
00:32:31After this match, Rey's not able to compete at WrestleMania.
00:32:34Mysterio kicked out at two and a half.
00:32:36Woo!
00:32:39You're right, there may not be an Intercontinental
00:32:41title match Sunday, but this keeps up.
00:32:42I know JBL believes, he's a firm believer
00:32:45in psychological advantages, psychological warfare.
00:32:49That's what he's trying to do here.
00:32:50Yeah, but King, Mysterio's been fighting
00:32:52a psychological battle all his life.
00:32:54He's been the ultimate underdog,
00:32:55the biggest underdog in WWE history.
00:32:57Well, and when you look at just the size discrepancy here,
00:33:03it's not psychological, I mean, it's a fact.
00:33:07Rey is at a huge disadvantage.
00:33:09He is, but he did defeat two men in a triple threat match
00:33:12to win the world championship
00:33:14at WrestleMania a few years ago.
00:33:19Bad intentions now on the part of JBL,
00:33:21but Rey's firing back.
00:33:23The guts of the sensational Mysterio.
00:33:28Can the high flyer turn it up a notch?
00:33:31And perhaps he did.
00:33:32Seated senton, top rope.
00:33:35The quickness of Mysterio.
00:33:37It's the very, and JBL's in trouble.
00:33:40JBL's in big time trouble now.
00:33:42They're breaking into 619.
00:33:44No!
00:33:45Nobody home, but Mysterio with great balance.
00:33:49And now JBL in trouble again.
00:33:51This is the third time, and it's the charm.
00:33:54619.
00:33:56Yes!
00:33:57There's the splash.
00:33:59Mysterio has pinned the Intercontinental Champion.
00:34:04Here is your winner, Rey Mysterio.
00:34:08I think, in fact, a lot of logical advantage
00:34:11has been gained tonight,
00:34:12but not the one JBL had hoped for.
00:34:15Rey Mysterio from out of nowhere.
00:34:18Surprising brawl show tonight.
00:34:20Six nights away from their battle
00:34:22for the Intercontinental title at WrestleMania.
00:34:24Look at JBL's face.
00:34:26Disbelief in the eyes.
00:34:28Disbelief in the eyes of Bradshaw.
00:34:31The Mysterio do it Sunday.
00:34:34Oh, ladies and gentlemen,
00:34:36tonight, two thirds of the WrestleMania main event
00:34:39will go head to head.
00:34:41It is John Cena versus The Big Show.
00:34:44The challenge laid down by The Big Show
00:34:47this past Friday night on SmackDown.
00:34:49That's where John Cena gave it his passion speech
00:34:53about WrestleMania in the triple threat match
00:34:56for the world championship.
00:34:58Edge, Vickie, Big Show, and their sadistic,
00:35:03crazy, Jerry Springer lives
00:35:05have taken the World Heavyweight Championship hostage.
00:35:07Well, guess what?
00:35:08At WrestleMania, I'm taking it back.
00:35:11I am going to WrestleMania to fight.
00:35:19I am going to WrestleMania to win.
00:35:22I am going to WrestleMania to be the world champion.
00:35:28Heavyweight champion.
00:35:30Well, The Big Show faces the man he knocked down two weeks ago
00:35:39and one of his WrestleMania opponents, John Cena.
00:35:43Big Show, John Cena, and that's just next.
00:35:53The 25th anniversary of WrestleMania.
00:35:56Celebrating 25 years of historic WrestleMania moments.
00:36:01On any given Sunday, anything can happen in the WWE.
00:36:06It's Hollywood.
00:36:07It's unbelievable athleticism.
00:36:09But this wasn't just any Sunday.
00:36:12It's the greatest spectacle in sports entertainment.
00:36:15This was WrestleMania 11.
00:36:18Lawrence Taylor, a football champion,
00:36:20was lured onto this unfamiliar battleground
00:36:23by a scheming behemoth.
00:36:25No pads, no helmets, just me and you.
00:36:29Man on man.
00:36:32I'm going to have some fun.
00:36:33Come to WrestleMania.
00:36:36A curtain of muscle formed a menacing tableau at ringside.
00:36:42A constant reminder there would be no surrender.
00:36:47A fierce clash of brute force ensued.
00:36:50Without protection of pads nor helmet,
00:36:53the Gridiron Warrior seemed outmatched.
00:36:56Things not looking good for Lawrence Taylor.
00:37:00I think Bam-Bam can probably beat him anytime he wants to,
00:37:03but he wants to show the world he's making a statement.
00:37:06Suddenly, a Niagara of blue and black poured down.
00:37:12He caught him!
00:37:15I cannot believe it!
00:37:16The clarion call of the final bell
00:37:19signaled the end for Bam-Bam.
00:37:22The unbelievable Lawrence Taylor has done the impossible.
00:37:28On any given day, anything can and does happen in the WWE.
00:37:35At every given WrestleMania,
00:37:37history is made as it was that night with WrestleMania 11.
00:37:47Wow, well at WrestleMania 11,
00:37:48there were New York Giants on him,
00:37:50but here tonight at RAW,
00:37:51Dallas Cowboy is in the house!
00:37:53Look at him!
00:37:54Hey, hey, DeMarcus Weird!
00:37:56Karrion Barber!
00:37:57Michael Irving!
00:37:59Hey, man, where's T.O.?
00:38:00T.O.?
00:38:01Come on, man, he's in upstate New York.
00:38:03Oh, this cowboy's having a blast.
00:38:04They're on the road to WrestleMania six nights away.
00:38:07♪♪
00:38:11♪♪
00:38:16♪♪
00:38:21♪♪
00:38:26♪♪
00:38:31♪♪
00:38:36From Newberry, Massachusetts,
00:38:38weighing in at 240 pounds,
00:38:41John Cena!
00:38:4416,580 feet!

00:38:52And John Cena will be heading down south
00:38:54on Interstate 45,
00:38:56heading to Houston for the Triple Threat Match
00:38:59for the World Championship at WrestleMania.
00:39:03And the 25th anniversary of WrestleMania
00:39:05is presented by the Army National Guard.
00:39:08Find your path to honor.
00:39:09Visit NationalGuard.com today.
00:39:12♪♪
00:39:16Hey, Cena's ready for Sunday.
00:39:19He knows his path to honor and glory.
00:39:22The championship is the road to WrestleMania this Sunday.
00:39:25Wow!
00:39:26He says he's going to fight, he's going to win,
00:39:30and he's going to be world champion.
00:39:32♪♪
00:39:35Oh, but unfortunately,
00:39:38Cena has to get by this man first.
00:39:40♪♪
00:39:43And today, it's Cena Vita
00:39:45weighing in at 440 pounds.
00:39:49Well done!
00:39:51He was introduced at 441 pounds.
00:39:53I have had a good authority.
00:39:55He weighed in at 485 pounds today.
00:40:00And there you see the interim general manager
00:40:02of Raw, Vickie Guerrero,
00:40:04Edge's wife and Big Show's lover.
00:40:08Now, that's a Jerry Springer trio for sure.
00:40:11Oh, remember, Guerrero was blackmailed
00:40:16into adding John Cena to this championship match
00:40:18at WrestleMania when John Cena made her affair
00:40:22with the Big Show public on national television.
00:40:25Oh!
00:40:27Excuse me, but that was embarrassing.
00:40:31What did she say?
00:40:32Animalistic urges.
00:40:34Oh, please.
00:40:36But there is an animalistic look in the eyes of the Big Show,
00:40:40and John Cena knows what faces him tonight.
00:40:43This is two-thirds of the main event match
00:40:45at WrestleMania right here live on Monday Night Raw.
00:40:49You know Edge has to be watching right now.
00:40:53Remember when Big Show told Vickie and Edge
00:40:56that he was anatomically superior to Edge?
00:40:59And Big Show's anatomically superior
00:41:01to every human being, I think.
00:41:02Every one of those right hands
00:41:04drawing the breath from John Cena.
00:41:08Ooh, those rights knocked out Cena and Edge
00:41:11over the past couple of weeks.
00:41:12Oh, did you hear that?
00:41:15Better than not just completely crush your chest.
00:41:19Oh, how much did you say Big Show weighed in at?
00:41:21It's 85.
00:41:23Every bit of that pound is standing on top of John Cena.
00:41:27Ooh!
00:41:30This is what John Cena and Edge must face on Sunday.
00:41:34Maybe John Cena should have taken Edge
00:41:36up on his offer from earlier tonight
00:41:38to work together to take out Big Show
00:41:40Sunday at WrestleMania.
00:41:42Cena told Edge, I don't trust you.
00:41:44I'm gonna do it alone.
00:41:46I mean, you gotta be able to understand
00:41:50what John Cena's thinking on that.
00:41:51I don't know how Edge could expect to be trusted by anyone.
00:41:54Look at this.
00:41:57Physical dominance.
00:41:59Remember, in the triple threat match
00:42:01on Sunday at WrestleMania, King,
00:42:04it is the man to gain pinfall or submission
00:42:06who will win that title.
00:42:07The first pinfall or submission becomes champion.
00:42:09So, Edge, the champion does not have to be pinned or submitted.
00:42:12Doesn't have to be involved in the decision
00:42:14to lose that championship.
00:42:15I don't mean to.
00:42:16One, two, three.
00:42:20So, for instance, if Big Show
00:42:21weakened Cena in this match tonight,
00:42:23Cena would be the perfect target for either one of those men
00:42:26to single out on Sunday.
00:42:27All right.
00:42:29And Big Show, as we're seeing here,
00:42:30were to beat John Cena.
00:42:32Edge can kiss the title goodbye.
00:42:36Man, Cena, I mean, he's just been manhandled
00:42:39and stepped on and walked on so far by the Big Show.
00:42:42But now Cena trying to gain some offense here.
00:42:45What a gritty Cena.
00:42:46Always determined.
00:42:49Ooh, look at you, Cena, and feel that impact.
00:42:53Oh.
00:42:56Cena leaping off those ropes
00:42:58with all the momentum he could muster,
00:42:59and still that was worse than hitting a brick wall.
00:43:03I mean, that was hitting a brick wall to hit back.
00:43:05Another look.
00:43:07He launched his entire body at Big Show.
00:43:14How do you combat that?
00:43:19This is the most physically dominating.
00:43:21The best Big Show has looked in a long time,
00:43:24ladies and gentlemen.
00:43:26He is focused on winning that world title Sunday.
00:43:29You're less than a week away from WrestleMania.
00:43:31You better be focused.
00:43:32You better be in the best shape of your life.
00:43:36You're gonna be on the grandest stage of them all
00:43:38in less than a week.
00:43:41Oh, no.
00:43:42Oh, no.
00:43:43Squash, no!
00:43:44And Cena looking for an opening.
00:43:47A right hand of his own,
00:43:48and John Cena trying somehow to battle back.
00:43:49But again, the physical dominance
00:43:54of the seven foot, near 500 pound Big Show.
00:43:59Boy, and you know, with the size and the strength
00:44:03that he's demonstrating tonight,
00:44:05the Big Show, I mean, and you know,
00:44:08if you don't catch him with something special,
00:44:09he's gonna be unbeatable.
00:44:12And you also gotta look out for that right hand.
00:44:15In one quick instant, Big Show can knock you out.
00:44:17We've seen him do it with Cena and Edge in recent weeks.
00:44:20He'll win that championship.
00:44:23Oh, no.
00:44:24This is, I think,
00:44:26this is what Edge was talking about.
00:44:27Maybe Edge realizes that neither he nor John Cena
00:44:31single-handedly could beat the Big Show,
00:44:34but maybe the two of them together.
00:44:35Oh, and John Cena rolling out of harm's way for the moment.
00:44:40Looking to build momentum here live on Monday Night Raw.
00:44:43It has sold out American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas.
00:44:47Cena with the big leg drop, and the Big Show's in trouble.
00:44:52And John Cena.
00:44:54That was the biggest move of the match for Cena, but.
00:44:56It looked like Cena was going for the,
00:44:58perhaps the STF, and Big Show still in total control.
00:45:03Can Cena somehow get back in it
00:45:05when we return live to Monday Night Raw?
00:45:09Oh!
00:45:11Look at that!
00:45:17Episodic show in television history.
00:45:19This is Monday Night Raw.
00:45:20We are live, and Big Show has turned his Focus King
00:45:24to the back of John Cena.
00:45:26Cena in big trouble, and it's all started during the break.
00:45:29I mean, watch Cena being slammed.
00:45:31Oh, my goodness, into that steel ring post.
00:45:34And Big Show was not done there.
00:45:35Big Show just catapulting John Cena
00:45:38into that unforgiving restraining wall there at ringside.
00:45:43And now, look at the face of John Cena,
00:45:47literally purple.
00:45:48John Cena's trying somehow to get back in this.
00:45:52The challenge was made by the Big Show
00:45:54Friday night on SmackDown.
00:45:55John Cena, always game, accepted that challenge.
00:45:59However, with a world title match
00:46:01in six nights this Sunday at WrestleMania,
00:46:04you might have to question that.
00:46:06John Cena's ribcage supporting
00:46:08somehow over 400 pounds of Big Show.
00:46:13You talked earlier about, can't help but,
00:46:16he might not, his head, please!
00:46:18Damn!
00:46:20Not just his head.
00:46:22Remember, King, John Cena's only a few months
00:46:24removed from neck surgery.
00:46:27Man, I mean, you have to think back about
00:46:29the proposition that Edge made to John Cena.
00:46:33I mean, is Big Show unstoppable one-on-one?
00:46:38Well, what King was alluding to is Edge said,
00:46:39Hey, Cena, let's team up and take out
00:46:41the Big Show at WrestleMania.
00:46:43John Cena said, I don't like you, Edge.
00:46:44I don't trust you.
00:46:45I'm gonna do it alone.
00:46:46Well, I can just tell you this.
00:46:47If you get in bed with Edge,
00:46:49you won't have a good night's sleep.
00:46:51I think Cena's doing the right thing.
00:46:52You talking to Biggie?
00:46:54And Big Show, Big Show completely focused.
00:47:01Almost had a sick grin on his face
00:47:04as he realizes and stalks Cena.
00:47:06And this one's closing it over.
00:47:08Oh no!
00:47:10And John Cena with a DDT counter.
00:47:15You saw Cena get the jump on Big Show
00:47:17and gain the advantage there.
00:47:20And look at Cena, John Cena again goes for the STF.
00:47:23Again, trying to lock the STF in,
00:47:25but just the size and the girth
00:47:27and the weight of the Big Show's body
00:47:29doesn't allow Cena to do it.
00:47:30He just can't reach the bridge,
00:47:33that seven-foot frame of the Big Show.
00:47:35Oh, good grief.
00:47:36Well, King, you gotta ask the question,
00:47:40do we just see the law of physics show us right now
00:47:42that the STF is not gonna be able to be used
00:47:45on Big Show at WrestleMania?
00:47:46Well, we said it, no, actually Big Show said it.
00:47:48He is anatomically superior.
00:47:51And there you saw his, just his size.
00:47:54Oh, wait a minute.
00:47:55He almost knocked Cena out with an elbow.
00:47:56Imagine the fence, here it go!
00:47:58Went for the right hand.
00:47:59He's got John Cena for the Attitude Adjustment.
00:48:00Oh, but the injured back.
00:48:03Oh no!
00:48:04Small slam with authority.
00:48:06And Big Show is roaring for WrestleMania.
00:48:12Here's your winner, The Big Show!
00:48:15Can the Big Show be stopped?
00:48:17Or are we looking at the new World Heavyweight Champion?
00:48:22Get ready to be shocked!
00:48:27The current world champion.
00:48:31It's Edge.
00:48:33It is the ultimate uppercut.
00:48:36Opportunist.
00:48:39Like a vulture.
00:48:40Edge going after John Cena six days before WrestleMania.
00:48:44I think Edge sees the opportunity to take out
00:48:47at least one of his opponents.
00:48:48That's why he's the ultimate opportunist.
00:48:51Officials here trying to get Edge off of Cena.
00:48:54Look at Big Show just standing by and watching.
00:49:01Get him off!
00:49:03Come on, get him off of him.
00:49:05He's like a rabid dog here or something.
00:49:11Shunned by Cena earlier, sending a message to Cena here.
00:49:20Boy, do those eyes tell stories for both men.
00:49:28I had to try to read Big Show's look.
00:49:30I think he's looking at Edge and saying, you're next.
00:49:36And if you read Edge's look,
00:49:39it seems he'll do anything to keep that world championship.
00:49:48Triple H is no doubt determined for revenge
00:49:51after Legacy's reprehensible assault last week
00:49:54on his wife Stephanie.
00:49:55Earlier tonight, Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase said
00:49:58that if Triple H does show up,
00:49:59he'll be met with swift and brutal consequences.
00:50:03We'll find out what transpires
00:50:04during Orton's WrestleMania address later tonight.
00:50:06And we are in Dallas for Monday Night Raw.
00:50:09And for weeks, Shawn Michaels has prepared
00:50:11for his WrestleMania match with The Undertaker
00:50:13the only way he knows how.
00:50:14Rash, bold, and brazen actions.
00:50:17Oozing with arrogance and confidence,
00:50:19playing mind games like this past Friday night on SmackDown.
00:50:23And his tribute to The Undertaker.
00:50:28-♪♪♪
00:50:58-♪♪♪
00:51:04Undertaker, at the 25th anniversary of WrestleMania,
00:51:10in front of 70,000 people,
00:51:13Mr. WrestleMania will take you
00:51:19to the fiery depths of hell,
00:51:23where only I will ascend victorious.
00:51:30-♪♪♪
00:51:33-♪♪♪
00:51:37-♪ I'm just a sexy boy ♪
00:51:41♪ I'm not your boy toy ♪
00:51:45-♪ I'm just a sexy boy toy ♪
00:51:49-♪♪♪
00:51:59-♪♪♪
00:52:09-♪♪♪
00:52:17Apparently, it's Shawn Michaels who's holding a funeral
00:52:19for The Undertaker's undefeated WrestleMania streak.
00:52:22Will Shawn Michaels' brazen actions
00:52:24continue to go unabated?
00:52:25Or is Mr. Reignium of Mr. WrestleMania tempted fate
00:52:29one time too many?
00:52:30We'll find out next.
00:52:34And we are back live on Monday Night Raw.
00:52:35Moments ago, The Big Show showing us
00:52:38he may indeed be the favorite in the Triple Threat match
00:52:40for the world title at WrestleMania.
00:52:42Well, this big right hand from The Big Show
00:52:45missed its mark, but John Cena's weakened back.
00:52:48He was not able to put Big Show away,
00:52:50but Big Show with this monstrous chokeslam
00:52:53did put John Cena away.
00:52:56And then out of nowhere, Edge,
00:52:58the current world champion, showed up
00:53:00in the ultimate opportunist
00:53:02which seized the opportunity again.
00:53:04And look at this.
00:53:05Big Show just stands idly by and watches
00:53:08as Edge delivers a brutal beating to John Cena.
00:53:11Well, the question remains,
00:53:13how do you stop The Big Show Sunday at WrestleMania?
00:53:19♪♪
00:53:25Well, we are expecting tonight a funeral
00:53:29for Mr. WrestleMania at the hands of The Undertaker.
00:53:35This is creepy.
00:53:41But from the looks of things,
00:53:43it looks like Shawn Michaels
00:53:45is gonna take care of the funeral here tonight.
00:53:47♪♪
00:53:55♪♪
00:54:02Shawn Michaels with clearly a different look
00:54:04in his eye here tonight.
00:54:06♪♪
00:54:10We talked about it earlier.
00:54:12Shawn Michaels has made a career
00:54:13out of these bold and crass actions of recent weeks.
00:54:16But the question is, has he gone too far?
00:54:19Has Shawn Michaels gone too far this time
00:54:22by angering The Undertaker?
00:54:25You know, I've sort of been,
00:54:28in all the past few weeks,
00:54:30the way Shawn Michaels has pretty much
00:54:32stood up to The Undertaker like we've never seen before.
00:54:35Everybody, without exception,
00:54:37is almost always intimidated by The Undertaker.
00:54:41Not so with Shawn Michaels.
00:54:42But is HBK whistling as he walks through the cemetery?
00:54:47I mean, is HBK doing this to try to mask
00:54:49or hide some kind of fear or intimidation?
00:54:53Or is Shawn Michaels going to, well,
00:54:56have his fate, meet his fate at WrestleMania?
00:54:58♪♪
00:55:06♪♪
00:55:15I stand here before you tonight
00:55:18as a man unafraid.
00:55:21♪♪
00:55:24This wreath, this casket,
00:55:27this entire procession,
00:55:30it's not for me.
00:55:33It's for you, Undertaker.
00:55:36This Sunday,
00:55:39your undefeated WrestleMania streak
00:55:42will cease to exist.
00:55:44♪♪
00:55:48We've had epic battles in the past, Undertaker.
00:55:52And it's always been the headline or the showstopper
00:55:55who has come out on top.
00:55:57♪♪
00:56:00In all of your illustrious career,
00:56:05there's one thing
00:56:08that you've never been able to accomplish,
00:56:13and that's beat me.
00:56:15♪♪
00:56:18And this Sunday will be no different.
00:56:21♪♪
00:56:24Over the past several weeks,
00:56:28I've superkicked you in the face.
00:56:31Yes, I have.
00:56:33Yes, I have.
00:56:36I've treaded on the hallowed grounds of your graves.
00:56:40Yes, I have.
00:56:42Yes, I have.
00:56:44And this past Friday on SmackDown,
00:56:49I showed how my light will forever
00:56:52outshine your darkness.
00:56:55Yes, I have.
00:56:57Yes, I have.
00:56:59And I've done it all
00:57:04without the slightest bit of consequence,
00:57:12without a hint of retribution.
00:57:18Yes, I have.
00:57:19♪♪
00:57:28There will be no retribution, Undertaker.
00:57:32Not tonight, not Sunday, not ever.
00:57:36♪♪
00:57:41You've said...
00:57:45that you use WrestleMania
00:57:49as an opportunity to show your peers
00:57:52and the world what you represent.
00:57:56I take the fact that you don't think
00:57:59I can end your undefeated streak
00:58:03as a personal insult.
00:58:07I'm Mr. WrestleMania.
00:58:10♪♪
00:58:15This Sunday,
00:58:18every moment over the past 24 years,
00:58:25is gonna pale in comparison to what I achieve.
00:58:31♪♪
00:58:34The next day,
00:58:38they'll talk about who won the world title.
00:58:42They'll talk about who won the WWE Championship.
00:58:47They'll speak of legends and ladders
00:58:51and 70,000 people.
00:58:54But the one moment that will last a lifetime,
00:58:59the single greatest moment
00:59:01that will be etched in their minds forever...
00:59:07will be when Shawn Michaels...
00:59:12pins The Undertaker at WrestleMania.
00:59:17♪♪
00:59:29♪♪
00:59:32Oh!
00:59:34Oh!
00:59:41Oh!
00:59:48The Undertaker has suddenly appeared in the ring,
00:59:50but Shawn Michaels has disappeared,
00:59:53and I don't blame him.
00:59:54Oh!
00:59:58Frustration like we've never seen out of The Undertaker.
01:00:04Oh!
01:00:06Oh!
01:00:18Oh!
01:00:20Oh!
01:00:26Oh!
01:00:34Damn it!
01:00:59Hey! Sweet shit music!
01:01:02Oh my God! I cannot believe it!
01:01:11How did he keep doing this?
01:01:15Another bold statement from Shawn Michaels.
01:01:24Is Shawn Michaels in the Undertaker's head?
01:01:33Well, Shawn Michaels said that The Undertaker's down was a personal insult.
01:01:41Once again, HBK has stopped the show of The Undertaker.
01:01:47But is Shawn Michaels gone too far?
01:01:50Will he meet his fate someday when he meets The Undertaker at Wrestlemania?
01:02:03Ladies and gentlemen, moments ago, Shawn Michaels' funeral for The Undertaker's Wrestlemania streak.
01:02:08Will be when Shawn Michaels pins The Undertaker at Wrestlemania.
01:02:24The lights went out.
01:02:26And when they came up, what did we see?
01:02:32The Undertaker standing in the ring, but no Shawn Michaels.
01:02:36Frustration on the face of The Undertaker, and then he figured,
01:02:39Oh, HBK has to be inside that coffin, but no Shawn Michaels.
01:02:47And after the second time this month, sweet shit music to The Undertaker.
01:02:54And the question is, in your mind, Kane, has Shawn Michaels pushed this?
01:02:59Has he taken this too far?
01:03:01Well, I can't answer that.
01:03:03All I can tell you is we're going to find out this Sunday at Wrestlemania.
01:03:06But Shawn Michaels, I believe, has really gotten inside the head of The Undertaker.
01:03:11Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker, two surefire Hall of Famers, but that's down the road.
01:03:15This coming Saturday night, though, it's become part of Wrestlemania weekend tradition.
01:03:19On the USA Network at 10, 9 Central, it's the Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
01:03:23And a man's going to be inducted that faced Shawn Michaels at Wrestlemania 14
01:03:27and won the first of his many WWE titles.
01:03:31The WWE 2009 Hall of Fame induction ceremony is presented by
01:03:40Legends of Wrestlemania, the video game in stores now.
01:03:47Talk about your subs, talk about John 316.
01:03:51Austin 316 says I just whipped your ass.
01:04:01We have earned the reputation as the toughest sum of us in the WWE.
01:04:10Oh, hell no.
01:04:13Look in my eyes.
01:04:15What do you see?
01:04:17It's a rattlesnake, by the way.
01:04:19The controversy, I can feel it.
01:04:22I know your anger.
01:04:25I know your dreams.
01:04:28I'll be anything you want to be.
01:04:33I'm a social personality.
01:04:37Steve Austin does what he wants.
01:04:40Austin's raising hell!
01:04:42You won't have to follow me.
01:04:47Only you can set me free.
01:04:52I'll beat your ass up if you're a backdoor, if I'm a backdoor,
01:04:55anybody out here is backyard.
01:04:58I'm the god of the world.
01:05:13I'm the god, I'm the god, I'm the god, I'm the god.
01:05:23And Stone Cold Steve Austin will be on the USA Network, 10 o'clock, 9 central,
01:05:27this coming Saturday night, part of the WWE Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.
01:05:33Oh, there you go, Stone Cold Steve Austin, Ricky the Dragon, Steamboat,
01:05:36Cowboy Bill Watts, Devon Erick, Coco Beware, Harry and Dory Funk,
01:05:40and The Fiend, Howard Finkel, all being inducted this year.
01:05:43Hey, and you know what?
01:05:44Yours truly, I've got the honor of hosting the event.
01:05:47And then you get to go to Sunday, of course, the 25th anniversary
01:05:50of WrestleMania, special start time, 7 o'clock Eastern,
01:05:534 o'clock Pacific, a four-hour spectacular for WrestleMania.
01:05:58Well, it's the 25th anniversary, doesn't get any bigger.
01:06:00What about John Cena, Edge, and the Big Show?
01:06:04This is a triple front match for the world championship.
01:06:08But if what we saw tonight is any indication, Big Show may dominate.
01:06:11And then Jeff Hardy taking on his brother, Matt Hardy.
01:06:15Matt Hardy has destroyed everything his brother Jeff has cared about.
01:06:18Now he wants to destroy Jeff himself.
01:06:23And then, well, the legends, Roddy Piper, Jimmy Stuka, Ricky Steamboat,
01:06:29taking on that punk, Chris Jericho.
01:06:31Ric Flair will be there.
01:06:32Well, Jericho claims there will be only one legend left after WrestleMania,
01:06:36and it will be him.
01:06:37And The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels.
01:06:41And Mr. WrestleMania, Shawn Michaels, believes his brazen actions
01:06:45will bury The Undertaker's WrestleMania unbeaten streak forever.
01:06:49And the WWE championship at stake when Triple H takes on Randy Orton.
01:06:54This is so personal.
01:06:55Randy Orton hell-bent on destroying the McMahon family
01:06:58and winning the WWE title.
01:07:00Driven by emotion, Triple H seeks revenge.
01:07:05Well, there you see him.
01:07:08Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase claim that what Randy Orton says
01:07:11in his WrestleMania address will affect the entire WWE universe.
01:07:15Orton will make that address later on tonight.
01:07:19And speaking of the 25th anniversary of WrestleMania,
01:07:22there you see the Money in the Bank briefcase.
01:07:24Inside that briefcase is a contract which,
01:07:27if you win the match at WrestleMania,
01:07:29will guarantee you a title opportunity any place, any time.
01:07:33You can cash it in right at WrestleMania this Sunday.
01:07:38The following is an eight-man over the top rope battle royal.
01:07:43Introducing first, from Chicago, Illinois,
01:07:47weighing in at 222 pounds, CM Punk!
01:07:53CM Punk must not be superstitious.
01:07:55Well, he shouldn't be.
01:07:56He won the Money in the Bank ladder match last year.
01:07:58And then he went on to cash it in and win the title.
01:08:03Introducing next, weighing in at 323 pounds,
01:08:08King!
01:08:09Well, when we come back, an eight-man over the top rope battle royal
01:08:13featuring all the participants in this Sunday's Money in the Bank ladder match.
01:08:17It's next!
01:08:22That briefcase there might as well be gold, King.
01:08:25It contains gold.
01:08:26A contract inside the briefcase suspended high above the ring.
01:08:30That contract can be cashed in any time during the next year.
01:08:34And it fits for a championship match.
01:08:37Yeah, and every time the Money in the Bank has been cashed in,
01:08:40we've crowned a new champion.
01:08:41This is an eight-man over the top rope battle royal.
01:08:44All eight of these men will be in the Money in the Bank ladder match come Sunday.
01:08:4916,580 WWE fans on hand in Dallas tonight
01:08:55as we kick off WrestleMania week.
01:08:57One thing in this match that's similar to what we're going to see at WrestleMania this Sunday
01:09:01is that, well, it's every man for himself.
01:09:04The rules here, you go over the top rope, both feet hit the floor, you're eliminated.
01:09:08Oh!
01:09:09Fit Finley about to maybe experience that feeling at the hands of Mark Henry,
01:09:13but no, Fit, able to...
01:09:15I'm still curious to see how Mark Henry's going to use that strength and power
01:09:19that's going to aid him to be able to climb that ladder and grab the briefcase.
01:09:22Wait a minute, Hornswoggle wants in a little bit of Mark Henry.
01:09:28You're kidding me!
01:09:29Well, the distraction cost Mr. Henry.
01:09:33Hornswoggle...
01:09:36It helped a little bit. Wait a minute, wait a minute.
01:09:37There's Christian in trouble.
01:09:39And now Kane, the strength of Kane, he's got both men about to be eliminated.
01:09:44Hulk and Christian in deep trouble.
01:09:46The big red machine, Kane.
01:09:50Would love to win that Money in the Bank ladder match Sunday.
01:09:53Remember, no pinfalls or submissions on Sunday.
01:09:56He used the ladder, climbed the ladder, grabbed the briefcase.
01:10:00Had that guaranteed title opportunity.
01:10:03Absolutely never know what's going to happen in that ladder match.
01:10:06I don't know what's going to happen here, but when I saw these participants
01:10:09in this over-the-top battle royale, I immediately thought,
01:10:11Mark Henry's going to win this, and now he's already gone.
01:10:15The new United States champion, MVP.
01:10:17The former United States champion, Shelton Benjamin.
01:10:20MVP hanging on there.
01:10:21Those two great athletes being involved.
01:10:24You've got the ability and quickness of Kofi Kingston.
01:10:28The power of Kane.
01:10:30The former winner.
01:10:32MVP trying to absolutely suplex Shelton Benjamin out of the ring and out onto the floor.
01:10:41The strength of Kane eliminating both MVP and Shelton Benjamin.
01:10:46The new United States champion, MVP, and the man he beat, Shelton Benjamin, eliminated.
01:10:52Four of the participants that are going to be in that Money in the Bank ladder match this Sunday at WrestleMania.
01:10:57This could be great strategy.
01:10:59Christian Punk and Kingston eliminate the bigger man.
01:11:02That worked earlier on Mark Henry.
01:11:06It's tough to eliminate anybody in that ladder match come Sunday.
01:11:10Everybody keeps coming at you, all eight men.
01:11:13There's no such thing as eliminating anyone in that Money in the Bank ladder match.
01:11:16You just want to try to climb that ladder and be the first man.
01:11:20To get that briefcase and bring it down.
01:11:23Down to three in this battle royal.
01:11:25Kane, Captain Charisma Christian, and CM Punk.
01:11:29CM Punk was decked earlier by Kane.
01:11:31And there goes Christian. Wait a minute.
01:11:33He's trying to hang on.
01:11:39He throws rope like an octopus.
01:11:40Well over the top rope, but both feet didn't hit the floor.
01:11:43Christian not eliminated.
01:11:44Once again, a little alliance.
01:11:47Well, he said he was going to be heavy man for himself.
01:11:51Look at Punk trying to hang on.
01:11:53That's the fight of the former world champion, CM Punk.
01:12:03CM Punk won the Money in the Bank ladder match last year at WrestleMania.
01:12:06And cashed it in, became champion.
01:12:08And there goes Punk.
01:12:09Not eliminated yet.
01:12:10Both feet did not hit the floor.
01:12:11But look at Kane.
01:12:12Incoming.
01:12:13Eliminates both men.
01:12:14And Kane wins the battle royal.
01:12:18Here is your winner, Kane.
01:12:21Can you imagine, King, if Kane, indeed, he grabs that briefcase Sunday.
01:12:26How dangerous will Kane be with a title opportunity in his back pocket?
01:12:34What are you doing here?
01:12:36I came for this.
01:12:41Eyes on the prize.
01:12:42Just peering up at that briefcase.
01:12:44And now...
01:12:48I guess he wants to get a little taste of what it's going to feel like
01:12:52on Sunday at WrestleMania.
01:12:54This is what you need to do Sunday.
01:12:56Set the ladder up.
01:12:57Climb it.
01:12:58At the top of the briefcase.
01:13:00Which contains a contract.
01:13:02Guaranteeing you a title opportunity.
01:13:05Anyplace.
01:13:06Anytime.
01:13:08Easy for Kane to do now.
01:13:10But there will be seven other participants
01:13:13trying to keep him from doing that Sunday at WrestleMania.
01:13:38Well, we're about to hear Randy Orton's WrestleMania address.
01:13:43Like I said earlier, that what Orton is going to say
01:13:46could change the WWE universe forever.
01:13:52Randy Orton delivers the WrestleMania address next live on Raw.
01:14:07Randy Orton!
01:14:17The man, the challenger.
01:14:20For the WWE Championship
01:14:22at the 25th anniversary of WrestleMania.
01:14:26Randy Orton to meet Triple H
01:14:29in what has become one of the most personal,
01:14:32one of the most emotional WrestleMania matches in history.
01:14:37As I said earlier,
01:14:38there's some say that Randy Orton has
01:14:41become diabolically sick and twisted,
01:14:44demented, if you will.
01:14:46And I think that Triple H would certainly agree with that.
01:14:48I mean, Randy Orton's actions have been
01:14:51absolutely unbelievable.
01:14:53Well, this is Monday Night Raw.
01:14:55This is the start of WrestleMania week.
01:14:57And tomorrow it continues,
01:14:58not only with ECW on SyFy tomorrow night,
01:15:00but what's going on in New York City tomorrow.
01:15:03That's right, big press conference
01:15:04at the Hard Rock Cafe in New York City.
01:15:10And the public's WWE fans invited
01:15:13to the Hard Rock Cafe.
01:15:18The Fightful.
01:15:20Randy Orton, who many people have said
01:15:23showed the supreme act of cowardice last week.
01:15:28Went in front of a handcuffed Triple H.
01:15:32DDT'd and
01:15:35they kissed.
01:15:37Stephanie McMahon
01:15:40in front of her husband.
01:15:41While Triple H was handcuffed,
01:15:42we've been told that what he's about to say
01:15:44could change the WWE Universe forever.
01:16:04Randy Orton.
01:16:20At the age of 24,
01:16:25I became
01:16:27the youngest world champion
01:16:30in the history of the WWE.
01:16:35Randy Orton.
01:16:40It was the greatest moment in my life,
01:16:45but it was short-lived.
01:16:50Because the next night on Raw,
01:16:52the man who was my mentor,
01:16:55the man that claimed to be my friend,
01:16:58turned on me in a fit of jealous rage.
01:17:04Randy Orton.
01:17:34Randy Orton.
01:17:35Randy Orton.
01:18:03That night,
01:18:04everything started to fall into place Triple H ruined my life so I made a vow
01:18:12to myself to ruin his but I had to wait I had to wait until I found the talent
01:18:22to start a group of my own I had to wait until Triple H was more powerful than he
01:18:29had ever been before and I had to wait until Triple H found something that he
01:18:34cared about more than the WWE title and so it began this past January when I
01:18:44eliminated Triple H and went on to win the 2009 Royal Rumble
01:19:29I earned the right to face Triple H and take his title at the 25th anniversary
01:19:48of WrestleMania but but that wasn't enough I had to raise the stakes I had
01:20:00to take everything away from Triple H that he cared about and systematically
01:20:06destroy it so I chose his family the most powerful family in the WWE the
01:20:17McMahons Vince McMahon Shane McMahon and his sweet wife Stephanie
01:21:07Oh
01:21:09almost five years after Triple H turned on me I RKO'd his wife now let me let
01:21:37me make one thing perfectly clear I knew exactly what I was doing the entire
01:21:46time IED no no no no no I knew exactly what I was doing the entire time
01:22:10if you don't sit down and shut your mouth and listen to every word I have to
01:22:20say for the rest of this I'm gonna get real when I get you don't wanna be too
01:22:28close to me
01:22:40I knew that Triple H would retaliate and he did he went to my home and he attacked
01:22:53me he took a sledgehammer to Rhodes and DiBiase but that was a sacrifice that I
01:22:59was willing to take because I needed Triple H to feel confident I needed
01:23:06Triple H to feel as if he was in control because if he felt that way then he would
01:23:11let his guard down and if he did that then it would allow me to do this
01:23:36I'm gonna get real when I get you don't wanna be too close to me I knew exactly what
01:24:06now at WrestleMania every time Triple H and I lock up every time he goes to
01:24:29throw a punch he's gonna be looking at the man that DDT'd his wife and sealed it
01:24:35with a kiss and if he even thinks of coming to the ring at WrestleMania with
01:24:44a sledgehammer to get his vengeance then he's wrong because I talked to Vickie
01:24:51Guerrero and if Triple H is disqualified if he's even counted out then he loses
01:25:02the WWE title if he shows up to the ring with a sledgehammer then it's an
01:25:11automatic disqualification and I become champion without lifting my
01:25:18finger and so it comes full circle Triple H it comes full circle I have
01:25:31taken everything from you everything except the WWE title that comes this
01:25:40Sunday when that happens the entire landscape of the WWE changes the balance
01:25:47of power shifts permanently top superstars will climb the ladder to one
01:25:53day try and challenge me young superstars will try their best to
01:25:59impress me so that they may one day stand at my side
01:26:10and in six days my ascension to the top of this business will be realized
01:26:20finally when I beat Triple H for the world
01:26:30turn on the lights turn on the lights Ted Cody get out here come to the ring
01:26:40bring the security
