Just 24 hours ago, The Bash had a great array of twist and turns. How will everything turn out? Join me as I report tonight's Monday Night Raw, post-Bash.

Vince McMahon comes out to welcome a special guest tonight in Batista. He announces a four man Night of Champions tournament for the No. 1 contender ship for the WWE Title.

First it will be John Cena vs. The Miz, followed by the second match in MVP vs. Triple H.

This brings out the Legacy and they are not happy. Batista makes Orton a match tonight, a three-on-one gauntlet match.

 

Night of Champions Tournament Match One: MVP vs. Triple H

Winner: Triple H

Wow, a curtain jerker for Triple H. I would never have believed it.

This may have not been the greatest match in the world, but enough to get through with it. I hope Trip doesn't face Orton again for the 9,451,246 time.

 

Unified Tag Title Match: Chris Jericho and Edge(champions) vs. The Colons(Primo and Carlito)

Winners: Still Tag Champs, Chris Jericho and Edge.

This was another great tag match and a rare defeat for the E. It's nice to see that the division is not entirely dead after all.

It was a nice back-and-forth action the entire match. A little short in time, but I'm anxious to see how this little feud will grow.

 

Night of Champions Tournament Match Two: John Cena vs. The Miz

Winner: John Cena

There is no surprise here as this was much better than last night's match. There was great action and great time during this one. It looks like a big main event could be in store for next week.

Next week, it sure is going to be a good matchup between Cena and Trip.

 

Diva's Fatal Four Way for the No. 1 Contender Ship: Kelly Kelly vs. Mickie James vs. Rosa Mendes vs. Beth Phoenix

Winner: Mickie James

This was just eye candy for the guys. It's nice to see Mickie get a push for the belt though.

 

Big Show vs. Kofi Kingston

Winner: Draw (Double Count-out)

What in the blue hell is that? A three plus minute double count-out?

Put an angle in there or something if you want to fill in time. Don't show this pitiful garbage as it is almost as bad as TNA.

 

The Main Event: Three on One Gauntlet Match: Randy Orton vs.  1st Evan Bourne, 2nd Jake Swagger, 3rd Mark Henry

Winner: Mark Henry

Oh, this one was so close, yet so far. It's nice to see Bourne and Swagger move to Raw. However, this was not the case with Henry.

This was a good bout for the first two and a squash for the last.

Overall, this was not the greatest Raw, but it wasn't too bad either. The match of the night was easily the tag match.

The Cena-Miz match was good too. Overall, I would give it two stars out of five, just for the two matches alone.

Next week's main event should be very good as Triple H goes against John Cena for the No. 1 contender ship for the WWE Title. Tune in next year to see who wins.
