At Judgment Day, WWE Champion Triple H retained his gold inside the steel cage. It seems like Randy Orton’s attempts to revive the “Age of Orton” and regain the WWE Championship fell short. Will Triple H be looking for a new contender to challenge him? Does Orton have plans of his own to get another title opportunity against The Game?
John Cena may have won at Judgment Day, but as JBL pointed out after the match, it was Cena, not JBL, that needed to be looked over in the trainer’s room after their match. Will Cena have a response to the Self-Made Millionaire’s post-match statement? Or will the punishment JBL inflicted on Cena force the Chain Gang commander to tend to his wounds for another couple of weeks?
Shawn Michaels has been a hot topic ever since retiring Hall of Famer Ric Flair at WrestleMania XXIV. With his controversial win over Batista at Backlash and now another controversial victory over Chris Jericho at Judgment Day, HBK seems to be confirming everything The Animal and Y2J have been saying about him. What will HBK have to say to his critics after his Judgment Day victory? Will Jericho or Batista have any response to HBK’s actions over the past several weeks?
After being interrupted by GM William Regal last week upon his return, Jeff Hardy defeated Umaga. Sunday night, Hardy answered MVP’s open challenge and made it clear that he was back with a purpose. Will Hardy continue his winning ways? Will he attempt to finish what he was saying last week before being interrupted by William Regal? Will Jeff feel any repercussions following his win over Umaga last week?
William Regal has been ruling with an iron fist as of late, much to the disgust of our fans and Superstars alike. From blackouts to 14-on-2 matches, Regal has not been afraid to wield his new sense of power with the utmost authority. One man who has not been afraid to lock horns with the Raw GM is Mr. Kennedy. Will the Green Bay loudmouth fall into line and pay Regal the respect he claims he deserves, or will Kennedy gain some respect of his own from the GM?
Mickie James was able to walk out of Judgment Day with her WWE Women’s Championship after pinning Melina. Unfortunately for her though, Beth Phoenix has been relentless in her pursuit of Mickie and the title – and will not stop until she succeeds. How will The Glamazon go about getting another Women’s Championship opportunity? Will Mickie James be able to fend off Phoenix again?
We’ll find out all the answers to these questions and the fallout from Judgment Day when Monday Night Raw airs live from Kansas City, Mo., at 9/8 CT on USA Network.

Triple H was able to retain the WWE Title in the steel cage match to hold off the re-start of the Age of Orton.

Jeff Hardy returned to pay per view with a victory over Montel Vontavious Porter. Mickie James was able to retain the WWE Women's Title despite Beth Phoenix's impressive performance. Will William Regal leave the sky box for tonight's show?

Regal tells Kennedy that he does not get it because Kennedy is not his equal. He does not take challenges from common wrestlers. Regal says that he will fire the next person who interrupts him.
THERE is NO CHANCE as Vince McMahon walks to the ring as only Vince McMahon can. Vince enters the ring and Kennedy tells Vince that he shouldn’t have done that. Kennedy tells Regal to fire Vince. Vince tells Kennedy to shut up. Vince reminds Regal that he gave Regal his 100 percent endorsement. Vince says that ever since he got the endorsement, due to Regal’s abuse of power and arbitrary complaints, they have received more complaints than ever. Vince says that Regal might not care what the people think about him, but what he cares about is the money. Regal tells Vince you sometimes have to take a half-step back before taking two steps forward. Vince says that he is talking about ratings. When Regal comes on the air, the ratings plummet. The longer that Regal stays on the air, the ratings go lower. In the interest of fairness, Regal wants Kennedy gone and so does Vince. Vince tells Kennedy that he does not like him, but the fans want Regal gone. Tonight there will be a match between Regal and Kennedy and the loser will be gone. Vince clarifies and says that the loser will be FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHRED. We go to commercial

John Cena may have won at Judgment Day, but as JBL pointed out after the match, it was Cena, not JBL, that needed to be looked over in the trainer’s room after their match. Will Cena have a response to the Self-Made Millionaire’s post-match statement? Or will the punishment JBL inflicted on Cena force the Chain Gang commander to tend to his wounds for another couple of weeks?
Shawn Michaels has been a hot topic ever since retiring Hall of Famer Ric Flair at WrestleMania XXIV. With his controversial win over Batista at Backlash and now another controversial victory over Chris Jericho at Judgment Day, HBK seems to be confirming everything The Animal and Y2J have been saying about him. What will HBK have to say to his critics after his Judgment Day victory? Will Jericho or Batista have any response to HBK’s actions over the past several weeks?
After being interrupted by GM William Regal last week upon his return, Jeff Hardy defeated Umaga. Sunday night, Hardy answered MVP’s open challenge and made it clear that he was back with a purpose. Will Hardy continue his winning ways? Will he attempt to finish what he was saying last week before being interrupted by William Regal? Will Jeff feel any repercussions following his win over Umaga last week?
William Regal has been ruling with an iron fist as of late, much to the disgust of our fans and Superstars alike. From blackouts to 14-on-2 matches, Regal has not been afraid to wield his new sense of power with the utmost authority. One man who has not been afraid to lock horns with the Raw GM is Mr. Kennedy. Will the Green Bay loudmouth fall into line and pay Regal the respect he claims he deserves, or will Kennedy gain some respect of his own from the GM?
Mickie James was able to walk out of Judgment Day with her WWE Women’s Championship after pinning Melina. Unfortunately for her though, Beth Phoenix has been relentless in her pursuit of Mickie and the title – and will not stop until she succeeds. How will The Glamazon go about getting another Women’s Championship opportunity? Will Mickie James be able to fend off Phoenix again?
We’ll find out all the answers to these questions and the fallout from Judgment Day when Monday Night Raw airs live from Kansas City, Mo., at 9/8 CT on USA Network.
