RAW Results - 22nd February 2010
Location - Indianapolis, Indiana
Announcers - Michael Cole & Jerry "The King" Lawler


It is time to take a look back at last night’s Elimination Chamber pay per view where John Cena won the Raw Elimination Chamber match . . . only to lose to Batista so we have a newer new WWE Champion.

We are live from Indianapolis, Indiana and your announcers are Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler.

Cole and Lawler let us know that Shawn Michaels will be on Raw tonight, but will the Undertaker show up as well? We also have a mechanical bull in the building because of one-half of our guest host combination Ty Murray.

Justin Roberts brings out the World Champion Chris Jericho, who is the champion of Smackdown, but he is on Raw despite never being allowed back on the show. Chris says that he is going to Wrestlemania. He says that since he was unfairly assaulted and attacked by Mike Tyson, he said that he would never return to Raw again despite being the best performer in the company and the true face of the WWE. Jericho says that he changed his mind because he defeated five of the top Smackdown superstars, including the Undertaker. He says that he has defeated the Undertaker two times in a row and wonders how many can say that. Jericho points out that he is the World Champion and says it a few more times.

Chris is interrupted by Edge’s music and he comes up behind Jericho and hits a spear on Chris. Edge tells Chris that Jericho is going to Wrestlemania to face him.

Cole and Lawler talk about the matchup between Edge and Jericho.

Speaking of people who won a title on Sunday, John Cena comes to the ring and he has a purpose. Cena has something to say but he waits a little bit to compose himself. Cena says that he can be added to the list of people who have been screwed by Vince McMahon. John points out that he won the Elimination Chamber match and instead of celebrating, he is mad as hell because of Vince McMahon for putting him in a second match against Batista. John says that if that is how Vince wants to do business, that is fine. John says that he wants his rematch and he wants it right now.

Continuing the parade of former champions, Vince McMahon comes out and he has something to say. Vince says that the operative word is ‘business’ and he is all about business. Vince says that he made a business deal with Batista. He says that he didn’t want to mess up his hands with the broken down Bret Hart and since Batista helped him out, Vince was going to help Batista. Vince says that if Batista wanted a WWE Title match any time and any place, he could have it. Vince says that it is all on Cena. Vince says that if it was personal, he can bring up what Cena said last week. Vince repeats what Cena said last week and as a result of what Cena said, Batista became the champion. Cena says that he is taking it back. Vince says that Batista is not going to defend the title until Wrestlemania. Vince brings up that another person has a rematch clause and that person is the former WWE Champion Sheamus. Vince wonders which one of them deserves the title match at Wrestlemania. Vince says that he has a deal for Cena. If Cena can win tonight, he faces Batista in the main event at Wrestlemania. If Cena loses, Sheamus gets to be in the main event against Batista. Cena wants to know who he is facing tonight since he accepts the offer. Vince says that John Cena will be facing Batista.

PWInsider reports that Daniel Bryan, formerly Bryan Danielson, will make his on-screen WWE debut tonight on RAW from Indianapolis. Bryan will appear in a backstage vignette with The Miz, his WWE NXT mentor.

The segment is being done to promote the debut of NXT on SyFy tomorrow night. There was talk about doing another angle on the show with the two as well tonight, but at this time it hasn't been confirmed.

Now it is time to get an update on Bret Hart. Cole talks about how Bret suffered a broken leg and had some tendon damage. In case you missed it last Monday when it happened live or when it was shown again later on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, or last night.

lol, I am wondering how Bret will wrestle in a tag match at WM with a broken leg. lol How many goodbyes does soemoen have? Why would someone get another goodbye because he gets run over by a car.

I don't understand why they did not let Gail Kim win and then have Maryse chase the title.

I am finding it funny why the are pushing Ted, I understand his father is going into the HOF but didn't Ted say he wants to leave wrestling to become an actor.

Cena will probably be beat up until WM and then use his 5 moves and 2 from an injured Bret to win the title. I would not be ssurprised if Bret and Vince are just corner men for the match and then end up in the ring at the end where Bret will do something to Vince like a sharpshooter.
