Send News and Event Results
Welcome everyone to Monday Night Raw!!! I am your on-again, off-again host known as Jabroni Wade with yet another 3-hour "Draft" show. I remember the last draft show and there really wasn't much of a shake up, hopefully this one turns out better. If you catching me holding my breath on that, kill me.
As always, refresh for the latest results.

They start out the show giving out the password for tonight's million dollar giveaway then head to a Draft Pick match with Triple H taking on Mark Henry. Henry with a big headbutt that sends HHH to the mat. Henry with a nearfall and does a version of the old Vader Bomb but HHH puts a foot on the rope. Triple H makes his comeback, hits a high knee but Mark Henry counters a Pedigree, misses a splash and HHH finally hits the Pedigree for the win. The first person drafted to RAW is Rey Mysterio! Rey comes out right away, gets in the ring and shakes HHH's hand.

Back from commercial with Vince McMahon now out for the next giveaway. He brings Kelly Kelly out to help and I am surprised to see she is actually wearing a considerable amount of clothes. They give some Crystal lady $100,00 and Kelly dances.

Backstage with Rey and HHH. They talk for a bit then Cena comes in and Rey leaves. HHH says he doesn't Cena's help and that it's personal now and that Cena isn't as good as him. Cena quotes Flair and HHH quotes back.

Commercial break.

Back from commercial with Finlay and Hornswaggle vs. Santino Morella and Carlito. Hornswaggle surprises Morella with a few moves then tags Finlay back in. Carlito trips up Finlay by the ropes which allows Morella to go on the offensive. Finlay was going to hit Morella with his walking stick (dunno how to spell it) but Santino grabs it, then the ref grabs it from which allows Finlay to hit his finisher then tag in Hornswaggle to get the pin. Smackdown's first draft is Jeff Hardy! Jeff comes out to the ramp, claps and we go backstage with an injured Orton looking on.
