This edition of the RAW Rewind is dedicated to Corporal Benjamin Stephen Kopp, nephew of WWE Hall of Famer Sgt. Slaughter. Kopp was killed in action in Afghanistan fighting for the very freedoms that we all share and enjoy every day. Cpl. Kopp, thanks for all your hard work and dedication to the defending the rights of Americans everywhere.
With that, here’s tonight’s edition of WWE RAW!
Tonight’s RAW in Calgary, AB, Canada opens up with the appearance of WWE Champion Randy Orton, who successfully defended his gold against the Big Show this past Saturday in Loveland, Colorado.
Orton starts out by saying that he’s been hearing rumors that he’s afraid of facing John Cena at Summerslam and that he bullied Jeremy Piven to do his dirty work.
He confirms that he did bully him, because he can. After chastising the fans in Calgary, he turns his attention to Summerslam and John Cena. As he continues his tirade, he is joined by his Summerslam opponent, John Cena.
Cena starts out by saying that he is very angry at Orton’s rumors and facts. He then makes it clear that he is truly ready to snap. He goes on to make it clear that he has had enough of Orton’s dirty tactics. Cena decides that the fight should happen tonight. All of a sudden, The Big Show and Chris Jericho make their way down to the ring…but why?
The Unified Tag Team Champions come out and make it clear that they are the ones that are intimidating. Jericho grabs the stick and makes it clear that they are in CANADA! After soaking in the cheers, Jericho announces that he wants to do something that he has never done before: Beat Cena in Calgary.
Orton grabs the mic and makes it clear that he will punt Cena in the skull after the bell. But Big Show has an announcement of his own: He is going to face…The WWE Champion, Randy Orton!
In the back, as Sgt. Slaughter rallies the troops, we learn that Triple H has traveled to Texas to find his long lost partner, Shawn Michaels, in hopes to reunite DX one more time.
Fatal Four Way To Determine the #1 Contender for Divas Championship
Beth Phoenix vs. Alicia Fox vs. Kelly Kelly vs. Gail Kim
Fox and Phoenix start the physicality by slugging it out with Kelly and Kim. All four Divas go for pinfall after pinfall on each other. Fox breaks the pinfall attempts by delivering a backbreaker to Fox. As Kim drops to the floor, Kelly does everything in her power to get control, but a miscue allows Kim to return to deliver a missile dropkick.
Kim and Kelly slug it out on the top rope, but Beth shows her uncanny strength by picking both Kim and Kelly. Fox comes in and breaks the submission, but the two women argue before Fox is launched off the floor.
Kim recovers and delivers a splash in the corner before flying off the top rope to Fox. Kelly becomes the next to fly as she launches herself off the apron. Phoenix goes to the top, but Fox stops her in her tracks.
Fox delivers a dropkick to send Kelly out, but Kim delivers the Rising Sun to pick up the win and earn a shot at Mickie James and the Divas Championship.
Winner: Gail Kim
