WWE RAW 3/26/07 Live Coverage

Welcome to another edition of WWE RAW Live Coverage. I have recovered from the verbal smackdown and am ready to cover the last RAW before Wrestlemania.



Coach is in the ring to start out. He informs us that the the Lashley vs. McMahon match has been changed to a No DQ match then says anybody that intereferes will be fined and suspended. You'd think that would negate the No DQ stipulation. Austin is now in the ring and regails us with what he did over the weekend. All the packages he got over the weekend were from Trump. Coach interrupts him, tries to kiss his butt but Austin cuts him off. Austin "sweet talks" the delivery man and finds out that it actually came from McMahon. Coach comes clean and says he did it from the corporate headquarter. I smell a Stunner coming. Austin now informs us that what he says goes at Wrestlemania. Coach then tries to kiss Austin's butt again and he gets a Stunner for his trouble. He starts to leave the arena but gets stopped by Vince's limo. He tries to apologize to Austin and gets a bird. McMahon is taking his frustration out on his driver then fires him.

Commercial.

We have Melina, Victoria and Jillian Hall (?) taking on Torrie, Candice and Ashley. The Women's Championship match has now been announced as a "Lumberjill" match. Ashley and Melina start out but Melina quickly tage out to Victoria. How sad is it that there's only one actual Women's wrestler in this match? Candice just took another hard kick from Victoria. Jillian now in, misses a legdrop and Ashley is back in. Lousy headscissors on Jillian but a nice rana on Victoria. Jillian tries for a handsrping elbow but Ashley catches her and rolls her up for the win.

Battle of the Billionaire's video package now.

Commercial.

CM Punk is taking on Kenny Dykstra now. Dykstra is in control after a flurry of moves from Punk early on. Kenny tries for a suplex but Punk knees him in the head and hits a springboard clothesline. Bulldog gets Punk 2. Firemans Carry turned into a knee to the face gets Punk the win.

Edge appears on the Titantron from backstage and says there's going to be another Cutting Edge next.

Commercial.

Another clip from The Battle of the Billionaires package.

All 8 men in the MITB Ladder match are in the ring for The Cutting Edge. He's running down how many times he's won in Ladder matches and at Wrestlemania. Matt has been given the mic first and says he's been in many ladder matches too and runs down Lita. Booker is up next and says nobody has reigned as successfully as him. Finlay takes the mic and says he feels like he's out there with a bunch of old women. He calls Edge "Chisel Chin" then Orton takes the mic and reminds us that Edge has weaseled out of every match he's had for the past month. Kennedy takes the mic and agrees with Orton but Edge cuts him off then goes to Jeff Hardy and mocks him. Jeff says he's gonna steal the entire show and the only person left is CM Punk. Punk cuts Edge off and says his only addiction is running his mouth and it's all broken down. The only person kissing is, of course, Edge who watches from the top of the ramp. Punk and the Hardys now go after Edge.

Commercial.

Slam of the Week is the Cena/Benoit match.

Cena is backstage with Maria. He calls Wrestlemania a magical place and does a hilarious job running down the card. He then gets serious for a minute and talks about his match.

Another clip from The Battle of the Billionaires.

Another clip from The Battle of the Billionaires.

McMahon and Lashley are up now. I'm still confused about this being No DQ but if anybody interferes they get fined and suspended. McMahon gets on the mic and slips out of the ring as Cade and Murdoch come out and get taken out in no time. Masters has come out now and is again easily taken out. Nitro has now come out and gets plasterted. We get a preview of a WM match tonight as Umaga comes out. Vince low blows Lashley from behind which allows Umaga to get a Samoan Drop in to get Vince the win. Lashley gets that butt squash twice then the Samoan Spike and gets an unnoficial pin. Lashley gets another Samoan Spike as Vince looks on approvingly.

Commercial.

Vince is backstage talking about his match at WM and Eugene comes in with a blonde wig that looks like Trumps hair. He yanks it off then leaves in his limo.

Kennedy and Orton are taking on The Hardys. Matt and Orton start out but Jeff is tagged in and gets a nearfall. Orton takes control which allows he and Kennedy to double team. Tag to Kennedy who cuts Jeff off from Matt. Whisper in the Wind and Matt tagged back in who is cleaning house. Side Effect on both Kennedy and Orton gets him 2. Cheapshot by Kennedy, Hardy's doubleteam Orton but Kennedy stops them which allows Orton to hit and RKO on Matt for the win.

Commercial.

Good Ole JR is the final inductee in the 2007 WWE Hall of Fame!

Great Khali is taking on Ric Flair. Not even Flair's famous chops have any effect. Khali was about to chokeslam Falir on the ring steps but Carlito comes out for the save and gets chokeslammed. Kane is now out with hook. They brawl for a bit and Khali backs off.

Commercial.

We get another look at The Condemned.

King and JR run down the WM 23 card.

Backstage with HBK. He says that Cena is just like everybody he's ever faced.

Commercial.

More celebrities wanting Trump to get his head shaved.

Main event time. Undertaker jumpstarts the match with Cena who fights back for a bit and gets booed loudly. Cena and HBK try to doubleteam but Taker and Batista take them out, try to go at it but Cena breaks it up. HBK throws Taker into the steps a couple times then Cena comes out and rams his head into the steps. Nearfall for Cena and HBk is tagged in. Cena tagged back in wo is not well liked in Chicago. Taker goes for a Tombstone on Cena but Batista blind tags in. It's all broken down. Taker throws HBk at Batista then leaves the ring which allows Cena and HBK to double team. Michaels finally Superkicks Cena after they do a double Five-Knuckle Shuffle which allows Batista to get the win. It's 10:06pm Central time and there's still 1 segment left? Must be pretty short.

Commercial.

It was short. Just showing what just happened and they end the show.
