Less than a week before Cyber Sunday, all four Superstars involved in the WWE Championship Match in sports-entertainment's most interactive event will be in the same ring at the same time. WWE Champion Randy Orton will team with one potential challenger, Mr. Kennedy, against two other prospective Cyber Sunday opponents, Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy & Shawn Michaels.

With Hardy, Kennedy and Michaels in full campaign mode and appealing for your vote, how will that impact the tag team encounter? Who will best make their case to be Orton’s opponent for the WWE Championship six days later in the nation’s capital? Find out when the Superstars of Raw come the Qwest Arena in Omaha, Neb.

Candice Michelle is invoking her No Mercy rematch clause to try and regain her Women’s Championship from the beautiful, but deadly, Glamazon, Beth Phoenix. Will Candice be able to pull the upset and earn a second title reign as the top WWE Diva? Or, as promised, will the Glamazon make the former champ bow down to her sheer strength and might?

After Umaga’s powerful demonstration of brutality in the United Kingdom, will Triple H show up in Omaha to face the McMahon-backed monster that brutally attacked him two weeks ago? What will the conniving Chairman of WWE, Mr. McMahon, have in store for The Game?

And what will the stipulation be in the Cyber Sunday matchup between the Samoan Bulldozer and the Cerebral Assassin: a Street Fight, a Steel Cage Match or a First Blood Match? Our fans will ultimately decide with their mouse clicks at WWE.com.

Find out the answers to these questions and more on Monday Night Raw, live at 9 ET/8 CT on USA Network.

RAW Results - 22nd Oct, 2007
Location - Omaha, Nebraska
Announcers - J.R. and Jerry 'The King' Lawler








Ken Kennedy is in the ring as we start off tonight’s show. He says that everyone has the opportunity on Sunday to make history because they get to vote for the man who will face Randy Orton for the WWE Championship. He decides to take a look at the candidates. On one hand, you have Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy. Jeff is like Hillary Clinton. They have their pretty blonde hair, a famous last name; but Jeff will not be able to get the job done because just like Hillary, he has no testicles. On the other hand, you have Shawn Michaels. Shawn Michaels is like Rudy Giuliani. They both talk tough, have impressive resumes; but both live in the past. He wants Shawn to tell him what he has done lately. It is nowhere near as impressive as what he has done. Over the last two years, he has been the United States Champion, the winner of the Money in the Bank Match; and has wins over Rey Mysterio, Batista, and the Undertaker. Kennedy says to ask not what Mister Kennedy can do for you, but ask what each and everyone can do for Mister Kennedy. He says that he will defeat Randy Orton and there will be a new WWE Champion.

Kennedy is interrupted by Jeff Hardy. Jeff is standing in the crowd and Kennedy tells Hardy that he cut him off. Hardy says that by standing with the fans, Kennedy’s approval rating sucks. Kennedy tells Hardy that he does not want to get into a debate with him right now. Kennedy says that his success speaks for itself. Kennedy says that Hardy is in the crowd begging for votes. Hardy says that Kennedy tried to pass himself off as a McMahon, but he failed. Last week, he tried to kick Jeff’s ass, and he failed. Hardy says that Kennedy is going to fail again on Sunday. Kennedy tells Hardy that he does not have to listen to this. Hardy asks the fans if they want to see him beat the holy hell out of Kennedy.

Hardy goes after Kennedy in the ring and they exchange punches. Randy Orton comes into the ring and Hardy punches Orton. Kennedy holds Hardy for Orton as Orton punches Hardy. Shawn Michaels comes to the ring and he goes after Orton. Orton and Michaels fight out of the ring and to the back. Hardy punches Kennedy and then he hits a running clothesline that sends Kennedy over the top rope to the floor. We go to commercial.
