WWE RAW Rewind: Everybody Pays a Price

The show opens up with the arrival of The Million Dollar Man, Ted DiBiase.

DiBiase arrives to the ring with his son and Cody Rhodes in tow. After building up Legacy, he decides to have a little fun.

He announces that Edge-icho will face Legacy for the Unified Tag Team Championships. As for tonight, he decides that Cody Rhodes will face Mark Henry, and his beloved son will face…his leader, Randy Orton!

With that, Big Daddy DiBiase leaves the ring just as Edge-icho make their way to the ring.

Edge-icho vs. The Colons

Carlito gets early control with punches in the corner, but Edge gets the upper hand with a big boot to the moosh. Jericho comes in and continues the assault with a straight elbow to the chops.

Following a back suplex, a smug Jericho tags in Edge. Thanks to some cheap tactics, Edge-icho continues to have the upper hand. Jericho comes in and applies a reverse chin lock to Carlito, but Carlito gets out of the submission with a springboard elbow.

Primo comes in and takes the fight to Edge-icho. After a head scissors takeover, Primo hits the cross body. But thanks to a distraction from Carlito, Jericho delivers the Code Breaker followed by Edge landing the Spear to get their third straight win over the Colons.

After the bell, however, Carlito vents his frustration by running his brother into a steel post and slugging it out with him on the outside before tossing him over the announcers table.

As a distraught Carlito walks away, Ted DiBiase is torn between his father and his leader. But after Orton goads the subject, the younger DiBiase gets more motivated to beat The Legend Killer tonight.

Maryse and Alicia Fox vs. Mickie James and Gail Kim

Maryse starts out dodging her NOC opponent before getting control with a hair pull. But Mickie fires back as Alicia Fox comes in. Gail Kim comes in and continues the punishment on Fox.

But following a few cheap tactics from both Fox and the Divas Champion, Fox is able to get the upper hand. The Divas Champion comes in and delivers a backbreaker. But Kim ducks a drop, but is unable to get the tag.

Instead, she hits the Chin Check to get the upset victory over the Divas Champion.

In the back, Ted DiBiase is getting his ass kissed and bribed by Cody Rhodes. But the Million Dollar Man makes it clear that he despises Dusty Rhodes simply because he was a Common Man.

With that, he decides to punish Cody by forcing him to wear the same Polka Dots outfit that his father wore.

Following a quick WWE Slam of the Week from Auto Zone, we are graced with the arrival of Cody Rhodes.

Cody Rhodes vs. Mark Henry

Henry has complete control of the match with kicks to the gut, but Cody tries to fight back. But Rhodes gets caught with a World’s Strongest Slam before crawling out of the ring and taking the countout loss.

Following the match, John Cena is in the back getting ready for his huge match with The Game.

Randy Orton vs. Ted DiBiase

Orton gets control with a tight headlock on his protégé. But Orton’s cockiness gets the best of him as Ted gets control with a set of punches and dropkicks that sends Orton to the outside of the ring.

Back in the ring, Orton has reapplied a headlock to DiBiase. Orton starts stalking his prey with his trademark stomp to the body parts of DiBiase. But as DiBiase fights back, Orton starts showing emotions and anger in the fact that his protégé continues to fight back.

After second guessing himself for a moment, Orton drops Ted with his patented DDT…but Ted kicks out not once, but twice. But TJ fights out of the assault with a back suplex. TJ hits the elbow followed by a flying elbow off the top rope.

Despite getting a two-count, Ted continues to fight back. After a backbreaker, Orton decides that hitting the RKO would be a bad thing, but goes for it anyway. Following a backslide, Ted delivers a power slam, but only gets a two-count.

Orton counters Dream Street into the RKO to pick up the win over his protégé. But instead of checking on his partner, he walks away from the ring. But before he does, he salutes his partner.

In the back, Triple H makes it clear that tonight’s match, though epic, is about getting even with Randy Orton and taking the WWE Championship from the Legend Killer.

Intermission: MVP’s VIP Lounge

MVP starts off by talking about the trade that Donald Trump made before he sold the company back to Vince McMahon. With that, MVP introduces his guest: Jack Swagger.

MVP starts off by calling Swagger a fraud for getting himself counted out last week against Randy Orton in his debut. Swagger then rebuttals by saying that MVP is nothing more than a fraud and a con.

MVP then admits that he did make some bad decisions. With that, MVP starts losing his bling and his shirt and makes it clear that, unlike Swagger, he has never been afraid of a fight.

The two stare down before Swagger makes an excuse before leaving the ring. MVP makes it clear that if he ever wants to find his manhood and step up to the Franchise Playa, he can find him in the VIP Lounge.

In the back, Ted Jr. is chastising his father for putting him in the match, claiming that he set him up to fail. With that, he slaps the taste out of his mouth before he tells him “Thanks a lot…Dad!” and walks out of the office.

Kofi Kingston vs. Evan Bourne

The two start the match by sizing each other up. The two challenge each other before Kingston gets control with a single leg Boston Crab. He follows it up with a headlock, but Bourne gets control with leg scissors.

Kingston continues the pressure with a corner cross body, but Bourne gets the advantage by blocking the cross body and landing the Airbourne to pick up the upset win over the United States Champion.

Following the win, both men show respect before getting interrupted by the Big Show. Kingston tells Bourne to leave the ring, but Bourne stays in a corner.

Show comes in and takes the fight to Kingston. But Bourne tries to fight the World’s Largest Athlete before getting tossed to the other side of the ring. Show spears Bourne before punching the lights out of Kofi Kingston.

He then applies the Camel Clutch to choke out Kingston before leaving the ring.

Before the main event, John Cena responds to Triple H’s comments earlier. Cena makes it clear that he respects The Game, but he intends to give the fans what they want.

In other words, the four simple words that he hasn’t said since WrestleMania: The Champ Is Here! With that, Triple H makes his entrance to the ring.

Cena counters the Pedigree again, but Triple H counters the Adjustment again as well. Cena guns for the STF, but Hunter reaches the ropes as he locks it in.

Both men gun for their finishers, but counters continue to keep the match going. Following a double clothesline, both men are down as the ref begins the count.

Both men beat the count and begin to slug it out. But as they battle it out, DiBiase and Rhodes jump in and beat the tar out of them before sprinting out of the ring.

As Orton makes it clear that he will not face either of them, The Million Dollar Man comes out and makes it clear that at Night of Champions, Randy Orton will go against both Triple H and John Cena in a Triple Threat Match for the WWE Championship.

Orton fumes as Triple H and Cena look on as RAW goes off the air.
