Show:
RAW opened with Vince McMahon in his office, and said tonight we will be treated to a once in a lifetime opportunity as he wrestles the WWE Champion John Cena, you ain’t seen nothing yet till you’ve seen the Chairman vs. The Champ. McMahon then announced that Shawn Michaels will face Triple H tonight, and Michaels will find himself on the fast line on the highway to hell. The fireworks went off in the arena for the start of WWE RAW as Joey Styles, Jerry Lawler and Jonathan Coachman welcomed us to the show, and we are under a week away from WrestleMania 22!
In the arena:
The music of Mick Foley hit in the arena as he made his way out with what looks to be two gift wrapped boxes. He leaves one on the stage, and then carries the other to the ring with him. Foley got on the mic and said this Sunday he will fight Edge in a hardcore match at WrestleMania, but that doesn’t give him the right to take his sweet, innocent girlfriend and shove his fingers down her throat. That was wrong. In order to make it up to Lita…he went into the box and pulled out some roses. He said he hasn’t forgotten about Edge and there’s a gift for him up on the stage, so unless last week was a fluke and he suffers from a complete lack of testicular fortitude, then why doesn’t he and Lita come out here and accept his gifts. Edge’s music then hit as he made his way out with Lita. Edge got on the mic and said that last week he caught him off guard but that won’t happen again. He said why the hell he should open the box, it might be a trap. Foley said at WrestleMania, it will be something he can use. Edge said Foley can use a win at WrestleMania, but it isn’t going to happen this Sunday. Edge said Foley’s legacy has become like a giant ATM account, the only thing he will collect at WrestleMania is what is most important to him, a pay check. Edge said he keeps dipping into his account until there isn’t going to be anything left, and he’s not going to peg his legacy on his account. Edge said Foley cost him the WWE Championship, and he should be in the main event of WrestleMania. Foley said it’s not about the money, it’s about the defining WrestleMania moment, and he has one up in his head. It’s about Edge, and it’s bleeding from various parts of his body, begging for mercy but Foley can’t hear because he had his ear ripped off his Edge. Foley said he won’t rip Edge’s ear off because he wants him to hear everything! He wants him to hear the sound of his flesh tearing, and the children screaming. He wants him to hear the blood drop and hit the canvas from his skull, and he wants him to hear the ring announcer when he says the winner of this match at WrestleMania is Mick Foley! That’s why he brought out the present, to give him a fighting chance. He told Edge to open the box, and Edge bent down and opened it and it was a baseball bat. Edge laughed and called Foley an arrogant son of a bitch. He said he wants to give him this gift for WrestleMania, then tonight he’ll give him a gift that keeps giving. Foley then pulled a barbwire bat from his box and blocked Edge’s shot with it. Edge bailed through the crowd with Lita as he go to a Mick Foley promo, rated H for Hardcore. After the video, Foley is sitting in the corner of the ring rocking back and forth with the bat staring intently at it.

Non Title Match
Mr. McMahon vs. John Cena
Referee: Michael Chioda
The music of Triple H is playing in the arena and he’s in the ring awaiting the arrival of Vince McMahon, and he is ripped. Shawn Michaels then made his way down and he’ll be backing up John Cena here tonight. Vince got on the mic and said before he puts on a clinic, he is going to make sure that Michaels and Triple H don’t interfere. McMahon ordered both Triple H and Shawn Michaels to be handcuffed to the ring posts. Triple H questioned McMahon but then complied and both men were handcuffed to the ring.
The start:
McMahon and Cena went to lock up and McMahon backed out of it. Cena laughed and they went to lock up again and McMahon again backed out. This time we get a lock up and neither man budged. The fans chanted “Cena!” as they locked up again and again it came up even. A third tie up and McMahon grabbed a side headlock but Cena fought out into a top wrist lock and powered McMahon to the mat.
The Finish:
McMahon slapped Cena and Cena laughed and McMahon is bleeding from his right ear for some reason. We go into a test of strength and McMahon seemed to have the advantage but Cena then came back and powered McMahon onto his knees. McMahon screamed in pain and then kicked Cena right in the balls.
Winner by disqualification, the WWE Champion: John Cena
The Aftermath:
McMahon pulled out the handcuff key and unlocked Triple H and Michaels started struggling with his. Triple H picked up the sledgehammer from under the ring and walked right into a sledgehammer shot to the face. Triple H went to the outside next to Michaels and dangled the key in front of him. McMahon then came from behind with a chair and Michaels is trapped. Triple H hit the sledgehammer to the mid section and then McMahon nailed Michaels in the head with the chair. Triple H and Vince McMahon raised their arms high in the air as Triple H knelt over the bloodied Cena and McMahon looked down at the bloody Shawn Michaels as RAW went off the air!
