Honor Amongst Thieves: WWE RAW Rewind

With every action, there's an equal an opposite reaction. With that being said, RAW opened up in Salt Lake City with the appearance of John Cena.

Cena comes out talking about the moments that leave us breathless, but before he can continue his walk down memory lane en route to Night of Champions, WWE Champion Triple H comes out and gives Cena a simple warning: Don't make this battle personal. The two men spend the majority of the time one-upping each other.

But before the physicality begins, Vince McMahon comes out to stop the slug party and begin the Money Parade. He also puts Cena in a Street Fight against Umaga to start the physical part of the show.

First Bout: John Cena defeats Umaga in a Street Fight

Cena wastes no time, as he slugs it out with Umaga, but a botched slam gives Umaga the advantage as he sends Cena into the security wall.

Back from break, Umaga is continuing the assault on Cena all the way up the ramp, but just as the Doc is mounting a comeback, the Samoan Bulldozer drops him again with a Samoan Drop. But after a missed whiplash, Cena grabs a mic and drives it into Umaga's skull, but the Samoan recovers and hits the Samoan Slam followed by a clothesline.

Cena steals the chair that Umaga slides into the ring, nails him in the gut and follows it up with a Throwback and Beantown Leg Drop. But as he goes for the FU, his legs give out and Umaga has control once again. But after charging towards Cena with the steel steps, Cena counters into the FU for the win.

The first winner of the Million Dollar Mania is announced following the match as Denzel Parker of Virginia Beach, VA wins $125,000. Following the first money dish, the Divas head down to the ring for a little bikini contest.

Second Bout: Maria wins Summertime Beach Bikini Blowout

Charlie Haas hosts this contest between seven divas: Melina, Maryse, Lena, Layla, Jillian, Eve, and Maria. But unfortunately, Jillian tries to steal the show with another ear bleeding singing performance.

Thankfully, Haas cuts her off and Maria goes on to win the Bikini Blowout.

In the process of Maria's celebration, Mike Leyva of Monroe, North Carolina becomes the second winner as he nabs $100,000.

Back from break, while Jericho is prepping for his appearance, McMahon makes the call to his third winner, who shockingly enough, doesn't answer his phone. But that's good news for Jesse Jordan of Bethel, OH as he capitalized by winning $50,000. As the DX chants start to die down, Jeff Hardy makes his way to the ring.

Third Bout: Jeff Hardy defeats Carlito

As the bell rings, Carlito gets in a few cheap shots, but Hardy knows a trick or two as well, as he flies over the top rope. After a hard slap on the ropes, Carlito drops Hardy with a modified neckbreaker to gain control. Carlito keeps the pressure on with a submission, but Hardy counters into a mule kick, misses the donkey punch, but nails the jawbreaker.

After dodging the tree of woe, Hardy has control with the Whisper in the Wind. After swinging out of the Backstabber, the Rainbow Haired Warrior hits the Twist of Fate followed by the Swanton Bomb for the win.
