Hey guys! To revive the Sports Entertainment Forum here, I've decided to make 2 threads which will contain the results & fallout from
RAW &
SmackDown!, as well as the WWE PPVs. To start off, here are the results from tonight's episode of
RAW. It was a very exciting, yet shocking show tonight (I'm providing a small spoiler to start off the results). A BIG thanks to
ProWrestlingScoops.com for the results, enjoy!
Spoiler #1: | Spoiler! |
| WWE diva search contestant Leyla's top fell off while she was climbing under the net gimmick set up in the ring. Due to the fact that the slip happened right at the beginning of the net portion of the set-up, and the fact that they were being timed for immunity in the voting, she kept going and didn't have much choice. Upon exiting the ring, she had still yet to fix her top, so referee Earl Hebner wrapped a towel around her and she was disqualified from the competition. |
Spoiler #2: | Spoiler! |
| Michaels and Hogan celebrated their victory in the ring and then Michaels nailed him with Sweet Chin Music out of nowhere! Michaels stared down at Hogan who is out cold and then the crowd went silent as RAW went off the air! |

WWE RAW Opener:
RAW opened up with a video package hyping Hulk Hogan’s appearance on Carlito’s Cabana tonight. The fireworks then went off in the arena as Jim Ross, The Coach and Jerry Lawler welcomed us to the show. Also tonight will be the Boot Camp Match with the Diva Search girls, and John Cena will be on the Highlight Reel!
In the arena:
The music of Carlito hit in the arena as he made his way to the ring as the Intercontinental Champion for the Cabana. Carlito got on the mic and said tonight is the 4th of July. A big USA chant then started up, with Carlito going on to say that this is the only night of the year for fireworks, but on the Cabana, there are fireworks every night, especially tonight. He said his guest tonight has a new reality show debuting on VH1, Sunday night at 10PM. A big Hogan chant started up, and Carlito said Hogan will be promoting his new show on Jay Leno, Jimmy Kimmel, Regis & Kelly, but the first place he wanted to come was Carlito’s Cabana. We then went into a highlight package of “Hogan Knows Best”. Carlito said wow, without further adieu, the legend, the immortal, the one and only Hulk Hogan! Hogan made his way down to the ring to a standing ovation from the crowd is Sacramento. Carlito said wow, don’t do anything else, let him first say that this is huge. Let him say that it is truly an honor, he’s done it all. He’s the most recognized name in wrestling, maybe in the world. He said this is the biggest thing in Hogan’s career he’s ever done. Hogan got on the mic and went to talk about “Hogan Knows Best”, but Carlito meant Hogan being on the Cabana. Carlito asked why he didn’t bring his daughter Brooke, and Hogan said he was borderline from getting thrown into the top of the building, brother! Carlito said he is cool, but Brooke is hot, why doesn’t he let Carlito take her out on a date. Hogan then nailed Carlito and knocked him out of the ring, and then Kurt Angle’s music hit! Kurt Angle said who cares about his daughter, what they should care about is him making Shawn Michaels tap at WrestleMania, and making Ric Flair tap last week, but instead of respecting him, they go online and vote that Flair is still the man over him. Instead of respecting him, they show respect and cheer Hulk Hogan. Why? Because he has his own reality show? Angle said the last time they were in the ring, he made him tap out, and he can do it all over again if he wanted to. He said the one person he would like to make tap more than him, is his daughter Brooke! Hogan then nailed Angle with right hands, but Carlito came back in and attacked Hogan from behind and they double teamed him, but then Shawn Michaels hit the ring and scared off both Carlito and Angle. Michaels helped Hogan up as Angle and Carlito backed up the aisle.

Maria is backstage, and said last week there was a blockbuster trade between RAW and Smackdown. She then introduced Chavo Guerrero, and he has a shaved head and no beard, and is wearing a preppy shirt with a sweater over his shoulders. He said he is no longer known as Chavo. He said his achievements have never lived up to his ability, and there is only one place to put the blame, and that is on Hispanic people. He said we all know what real America thinks about the Hispanics, and that has held him back. He said he is denouncing his Hispanic heritage, and joining middle class America. He said he will no longer be known Chavo Guerrero, and has legally changed his name to Kerwin White! He then called Maria stupid, and he left and she looked upset.

He said she has a lot going for her. He said she looks good…and couldn’t come up with anything else. He told her to show her strengths, and hide her weaknesses.
In the arena:
The music of Chris Jericho hit in the arena as he made his way to the ring for the Highlight Reel. Jericho welcomed us to RAW is Jericho and said we are not going to see any cheesy deck chairs, or stupid palm trees. He said he was watching the Cabana earlier, and he saw Hulk Hogan, a true superstar as his guest, so he wanted the same stature of guest. He said there is no bigger star on RAW than himself, but he got the next closest thing. He then introduced the WWE Champion, John Cena, to the ring, who came down to a huge ovation from the crowd. Cena took a mic and said back on the Highlight Reel, and thanks for having him, and it looks like Sac Town is excited tonight! Jericho said the crowd is excited, and so is he. He said Cena is doing great, look at him, he’s the WWE Champion, has a hit album, getting ready to film his second video, and has a concert coming up in two weeks. Jericho then said he is the first Undisputed Champion, he has three hit records, done five music videos, and played hundred of concerts including the Download festival in England where he played in front of 50,000. He then played footage of his appearance there on the Jeritron 5000. Jericho said that is how a real rock star does it. Cena said this a pretty one sided interview, and said Jericho has a lot of good things going, and then wished him good luck and went to leave. Jericho pulled him back, and asked what good luck was meant to mean? Cena asked what he wanted from him. He said congratulations, but Jericho again pulled him back. Jericho asked if that was supposed to mean something, and then took off his sunglasses. He said he wants to remind Cena who he is talking to. He said he has reached legendary status in this business, and is a much bigger star than Cena, and the only reason people don’t realise that is because Cena has that title over his shoulder, but Jericho can take that from him anytime he wants. Cena said Jericho says he has done it all, but Cena can see it in his eyes, Jericho is nothing without the WWE Title. The fans chanted for Cena, and Cena told Jericho to listen to them. He said that’s why he comes out here every week and says he is Chris Jericho, and toots his own horn. Cena said Jericho is the first to tell everyone that he is on top of the world, but let Cena to be the first to tell everyone he is an asshole. Cena told Jericho to wake up, these people ain’t stupid. He said the fans chanting for him is real recognizing real. He said that he remembers when RAW really was Jericho, but now Jericho is cheap. He said he’s taken everything he’s done and covered it in a big bag of cheap sauce. He called Jericho Y2Cheap, and then Jericho slapped him. Jericho tackled him down and hammered away on him, and both men traded right hands. Cena took Jericho down with a shoulder block, and Jericho backed out of the ring. The referees came down and escorted Jericho to the back, and then Cena took a blow up hand from one of the fans and did a middle finger salute with it as he celebrated in the ring with his WWE Title.
