JBL has the advantage to start, but Kofi recovers and brings the noise to the self-proclaimed Wrestling God. JBL regains control with a big boot to the moosh (aka mouth) and applies a modified Million Dollar Dream on the Jamaican. As Kofi attempts to fight back, he misses a Cross Body and gets nailed with the Clothesline From Hell as JBL picks up another selection from RAW.
But after the pick is announced, he might be regretting his victory. This is also the second championship pick of the night!
Ninth Pick: ECW Champion Kane (ECW) drafted to RAW
Main Event: Edge (SD!) wins 15-Man Tri-Branded Battle Royal (Two Picks)
RAW: CM Punk, John Cena, Batista, Kane and Triple H
ECW: Shelton Benjamin, Chavo, The Dirt Sheet and Matt Hardy
SD!: Big Show, The Great Khali, MVP, Jeff Hardy and Edge
As the battle royal begins, all three brands decide to unify and eliminate The Great Khali, but as they try the same method on The Big Show, they come up way short. But if a show of strength is what you're wanting, look no further than the Animal. Batista manages to take out both of the WWE Tag Team Champions while CM Punk does his best HBK impression to stay in the match.
Back from break, CM Punk gets tossed by SD!'s Big Show. Jeff Hardy uses a donkey kick to send out Chavo while Matt Hardy capitalizes on MVP turning on his team and eliminating him. But the biggest shocker was yet to come as Jeff and Matt got in a slugfest with the younger Hardy sending his brother out with a mule kick.
It is down to SmackDown! vs. RAW as Edge and Batista knock heads. The Animal gets bloodied up on the collision and tossed out by Big Show. Before the Animal is sent packing, Jeff Hardy gets eliminated by Triple H. It is now down to Cena and The Game representing RAW against Show and Edge representing SmackDown! In the end, Triple H and Cena eliminate Big Show, but that's all the teamwork the two had.
Cena then turns around and eliminates Triple H while Edge tosses out Cena to give SmackDown! the final two picks of the live draft. But Edge would soon see karma bite him in the ass as SmackDown!'s two final picks were:
Tenth Pick: Kennedy (RAW) drafted back to SmackDown!
Eleventh Pick: WWE Champion Triple H (RAW) drafted to SmackDown!
But this wasn't the biggest shocker of the night. The reason this is called Deja Vu is because if anyone remembers last year's draft, Vince McMahon was "killed" in an explosion. After congratulating the $500,000 winner, pieces of the stage started falling down and coming undone. The very ramp that McMahon was standing on collapsed and the lighting containing his Million Dollar Mania sign fell on top of him.
Triple H, Cena and Edge helped members of the staff lift up the fixture, and McMahon was exclaiming that "he couldn't feel his legs." as RAW went off the air abruptly for USA's newest show "In Plain Sight."
We will have details on the condition of McMahon over the next few days. As of now, McMahon's Million Dollar Mania is suspended until further notice. In the process, tune in to this week's WWE programming as the newest members of the brands and the former members raise some hell on ECW and SmackDown!
