Winner: Candice Michelle

The Aftermath:

An Interruption:
The Rated-R Superstar's music hit and Edge and Lita came out to the ring and got in the face of Candice Michelle. Lita ripped the mic from Candice's hand and told her to split. Edge then told Candice to get the hell out his ring and to "hit the bricks toots". Last week, Edge said he had John Cena beat and the only reason he is not the champion is because of one man...Mick Foley! So Mick, I hope your sitting nice and comfy on your couch because you're about to learn what happens when you mess with the Rated-R Superstar. The past couple of weeks, people have been taunting Edge and Lita with Hacksaw Jim Duggan imitations, calling Lita a "ho". Edge said he was going to take care of that tonight as he challenged Hacksaw Jim Duggan to a match and he accepted. Lita took the mic and ordered Duggan to get his goofy-eyed behind down to the ring and learn that no one messed with Edge.

Hacksaw Arrives:
Jim Duggan made his way to the ring with his American flag and trusty 2x4 in hand as RAW went to its first commercial break!


Hacksaw Jim Duggan vs. Edge
Referee: Mickey Henson

The start:

Edge slammed the face of Jim Duggan into the steel steps as Lita smiled on in approval. Edge gave Duggan a few lefts only to have him fire back with rights and lefts of his own. Duggen then threw Edge back in the ring and screamed out "Ho!". As Duggan tried to enter the ring, Edge nailed him in the head with a dropkick. Edge covered Duggan after a belly-to-back suplex for a 2 count.

The Finish:

Duggan then put Edge down with a clothesline and whipped him to the buckle where he mounted the Rated-R Superstar and delivered 10 shots to the head of Edge. Duggan then went down for his 3-point stance clothesline, but Lita grabbed his ankle to distract him. As he turned back to face Edge, Duggan was nailed with a spear and was pinned for the 3-count.

Winner: Edge

The Aftermath:
Edge took Duggan's 2x4 and nailed him between the eyes, sending a message to Mick Foley. Edge then asked FOley if he saw what happened to Duggan. Edge promised that was nothing compared to what will happen to him since he cost him the chance to walk into WrestleMania as Champion. Edge then told FOley to listen carefully since he only had one ear -- Mick FOley vs Edge at WrestleMania! He gave Foley one week to reply or else he'll track him down and beat him in front of his own family.


Recorded Earlier:
The Big Show said that being in the main event of WrestleMania is the pinnacle of every wrestler's dream. He's been there before and he knows what it takes to be the WWE Champion. He's focused on the task at hand and says he will go onto WrestleMania to compete for the title at WrestleMania. He said he had to stop Triple H from going to WrestleMania and didn't know what was sweeter. GOing to WrestleMania -- or stopping Triple H from getting there.

John Cena in India:

The Aftermath:

In the arena:
Vince came out and said that the people thought he might be angry because of Marty Jannetty helping out his old tag team partner. Next week, Vince will offer Marty a full time contract and could really use a job. So next week, Vince will present a full-time contract to Marty...but there is a catch.
