While the Superstars who participated in One Night Stand last night are licking their wounds from the most Extreme pay-per-view in WWE history, everyone else is eagerly awaiting more details on Mr. McMahon’s Million Dollar Mania. The WWE Chairman has promised to give more details on the giveaway on Monday Night Raw, including how you can win $1 million from Mr. McMahon himself. The Chairman has also scheduled a press conference for Tuesday afternoon, discussing the giveaway.
One person who is already a winner is Triple H, who successfully defended his WWE Championship against Randy Orton, but at great cost to their bodies. With both Superstars severely battered from their Last Man Standing Match, will the Legend Killer even be capable of rising again to compete against The Game?
Also at One Night Stand, John Cena defeated JBL in a First Blood Match, causing the Longhorn Loudmouth to bleed from the mouth after a brutal match. Will the self-made millionaire let his rivalry with Cena fall by the wayside after this defeat? While JBL had a bloody mouth to tend, Shawn Michaels was injured much more seriously, as he was literally unable to walk away from his Stretcher Match with Batista. HBK has been injured before, necessitating extended recovery time spent away from WWE. What, if anything, will we see from The Showstopper on Raw, and how will he react to having his show stopped by The Animal?
Santino Marella has an upcoming match with Jimmy Kimmel Live!’s Cousin Sal on SmackDown. But as explained exclusively on WWE Mobile on AT&T, the Braggadocios Italian Superstar has something special in store for Sal’s training partner, WWE Hall of Famer “Rowdy” Roddy Piper on Raw this week. What could Marella be planning for the living legend?
And in just three short weeks, on a special three-hour Monday Night Raw, the WWE Draft will take place. All Superstars, all Divas, and all announcers from all three brands will be eligible. Where will your favorite Superstars end up, and how will it affect Monday Night Raw?
For the answers to all these questions and the chance to win $1 million from the Chairman as part of Mr. McMahon’s Million Dollar Mania, be sure to tune in to WWE Monday Night Raw at 9/8 CT only on the USA Network.

RAW Results - 2nd June, 2008
Location - Bakersfield, CA
Announcers - Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler
Last night, the Raw brand was well represented on the One Night Stand pay per view. The biggest story coming out of the pay per view was not the apparent newest couple on camera, but the collarbone injury suffered by Randy Orton in the Last Man Standing Match. Shawn Michaels could not defeat Batista in the Stretcher Match despite Chris Jericho’s encouragement. Beth Phoenix was able to defeat Melina to become the early favorite to face Mickie James at Night of Champions in a little less than four weeks. Jeff Hardy was able to defeat Umaga in a Falls Count Anywhere Match that saw the match go outside the arena with Jeff Hardy hitting a swanton from the top of a tractor trailer. We also found out from Vince McMahon that a million dollars will be given away each week on Raw and we will get more details tonight. Will McMahon really give out one million dollars or the have the Million Dollar Man passed around from fan to fan each week? Who will face Triple H for the WWE Title at Night of Champions? What about the Intercontinental Title? Will we hear from the World Tag Team Champions? Will we find out anything more between Santino and Rodney the Piper? Will we see the GameHammer tonight or is he exclusive to pay per view?
We are live from Bakersfield, California and your announcers are Jim ‘Is that Jared Cheeseman in the crowd’ Ross and Jerry ‘When is the next RNN update’ Lawler.
The show starts with Triple H coming to the ring. We see footage of Randy Orton’s unfortunate landing on the floor followed by a GameHammer shot later in the night to finish off the challenger.
We get the GameFountain before Hunter enters the ring. The Age of Orton is over and it is as if it never existed. Both men know that they would not be the same going out as they came in. Randy Orton is watching tonight from a hospital room beaten and bruised and with a broken collarbone. Hunter says that it is a lot easier to walk out with the aches and pains when you can say that you are still the WWE Champion. Hunter says that he does not know who is next and he does not care.
Cue up the marching band because John Cena comes out to the ring. Cena says that he knows how Hunter feels because you don’t need to be Emmett Brown to know that the future is now. Cena says that they see eye to eye about a lot of things. One thing they don’t see eye to eye about is the WWE Championship. Cena says that Hunter has conquered them all except him. With the draft looming, this is a chance that might never happen again. Cena comes out with a question. He asks Hunter ‘Are you Ready?’ Cena compares it to all of the top rivalries. Cena asks Hunter if he is ready to fight.
Hunter tells Cena that a very big star in the industry once looked him dead in the eye and said to him, you want some . . . come get some.
Jeff Hardy’s music plays and he comes out with a limp. Jeff reminds Cena and Hunter that they are not the only ones to win a match last night who are on the Raw brand. Hardy points out that Cena won a First Blood Match against Bradshaw while he beat Umaga in a Falls Count Anywhere Match. Hunter says that he does not care who he beats so they can work it out amongst themselves because it does not matter to him. Hardy says that there are two things about Vince that he knows. Vince wants to give the fans what they want as well as ‘first time ever’ things. Hardy suggests that he face John Cena tonight for the first time ever.
We are interrupted by Vince McMahon on the HDTron. Vince says that he thinks everyone knows what they want. They want details on how Vince is going to give away one million dollars cash next week. Vince says that he likes Jeff’s idea. What if Triple H defends the title at Night of Champions and tonight the winner of the first time ever match faces Triple H. Vince announces John Cena versus Jeff Hardy.
We go to commercial.
We are back and we see footage of Katie Lea confronting Ken Kennedy last week to distract Kennedy for a Paul Burchill attack.
Ken Kennedy addresses Paul Burchill and says that not only did he get his girlfriend William Regal fired, but he cried like a pansy going out the door. Now Burchill can follow in his footsteps because he will be crying after getting his ass whooped by Mr. Kennedy Kennedy
Paul Burchill says that he would love to face Kennedy tonight, but he needs to help his sister prepare for her first women’s match. He did find a suitable replacement.
Ken Kennedy vs Paul Burchill . . . playing the part of Paul Burchill is Umaga
Kennedy runs into a shoulder tackle and Umaga with a punch to Kennedy. Umaga with an Irish whip but he misses a charge and Kennedy with punches and kicks in the corner. Umaga pushes Kennedy down and hits a Samoan drop as Kennedy charges. Both men are down but Umaga gets up first. Umaga with the nerve hold. Kennedy punches Umaga in the ribs to get out of the hold. Umaga sends Kennedy to the apron and he connects with a Kane like uppercut that sends Kennedy off the apron to the floor. Umaga goes to the apron and he misses a splash and hits the announce table. Kennedy rolls into the ring while Umaga is down on the floor. Umaga is counted out.
Winner: Ken Kennedy by Count out
After the match
Paul Burchill clips Kennedy and hits a neck breaker.
Backstage
There are a number of people walking in the back and one person is holding a clear case with a lot of money. They walk past some of the wrestlers and we hear a DAMN from Ron Simmons.
We go to commercial.
We are back and there is NO CHANCE that Vince McMahon is going to let his money get too far away from him. Vince welcomes everyone to Mr. McMahon’s Million Dollar Mania. Vince brings out the million dollars in cash. Vince pulls out the money and he puts it into another case and then he gets some help putting it in the other case. Vince says that he has security around the arena to protect the money. Vince says that until next week, it is all his; then he will give it away.
Vince says that he told us last week that he would give us the details. Vince says that it is no hoax. He says that he might give away $100,000. Maybe he will give away $125,000. He might give away $250,000; but by the end of the night, he will give away all one million dollars.
Vince says that it is easy to get the money. You need to register on wwe.com. You need to give you phone number and address. Vince says that you must be a United States resident, which might be a problem for some of the people in Bakersfield. Vince says that he is just kidding.
Vince asks why he would give away a million dollars away. Maybe he is eccentric, generous, or maybe he is trying to attract more people to watch Raw. He is inviting people who used to watch to come home. Maybe he will get some new viewers. There are some people who would not be caught dead watching Raw. Call them elitists, or call them snobs. They look down on this form of entertainment and the fans. The WWE fans are a cross section of Americana. Every race, profession, and income level is represented. They don’t understand that the fans come to enjoy themselves. Vince says that those people are part of a club that they are not a part of; and they are not invited to their party. The sign should read ‘No Snobs Allowed’. Vince says that he wants to give the snobs a look at what happens at a WWE show. Vince wishes everyone luck and next week it is all about the money.
We go to commercial.

Ted DiBiase enters and he says that DiBiases get what they want and he is about three weeks away from picking his tag team partner. The looks on their faces will be priceless.
Jim Ross talks about Batista’s victory over Shawn Michaels last night. Jim Ross talks about Chris Jericho and Chris is in the back. Jim Ross asks Jericho what he thought about Shawn Michaels being wheeled out of the arena. Chris says that he did everything to encourage Shawn to victory. Shawn has held a lot of titles.
