*SPOILERS* Full 4 Dec RAW Results
On the heels of the ECW December to Dismember pay per view, World Wrestling Entertainment returns to action with this week’s episode of Raw. What will John Cena say about teaming with World Champion Batista to face King Booker and Fit Finlay at Armageddon in less than two weeks? After teaming for ‘one night only’, what will happen when Joey Mercury and Johnny Nitro team for the third time in a week as they join forces with Randy Orton and Edge to face Degeneration X and the Hardys? Will John Cena comment on his match in four weeks against Kevin Federline, and if so, will he comment on Kevin’s performance on 1 vs. 100 last Friday? What social issue will Cryme Tyme tackle this week? What is next for the women’s division now that Victoria is the number one contender for the title? What is next for Ric Flair after his brutal beating last week at the hands of Randy Orton and Edge?
We start off this week’s show with Degeneration X celebrating with Ric Flair after their victory last week on Raw. Shawn Michaels talks about the celebration as he leaves with Triple H, Arn Anderson, and Dusty Rhodes. We move ahead to Edge on the Cutting Edge with Randy Orton as they bring out a bloodied Ric Flair.
We are live from Charleston, South Carolina and your announcers are Jim ‘At least there was no UWF: One Night Stand’ Ross and Jerry ‘What about USWA: One Night Stand’ Lawler.
John Cena comes out to address the crowd. Cena comments on the usually unruly Monday Night Raw crowd. He says that he has a message for everyone. Sometimes when there is a fight, you are not going to be the biggest. Sometimes when there is a fight, you are not going to be the strongest. Some people thought he was crazy when he accepted the challenge of the undefeated Umaga last week. When he looked at the face of Umaga, a man who has destroyed everything in his path. He said something under his breath. Cena speaks in gibberish to mock Umaga. He says that he thought Umaga said that he was ready to fight right now, but instead, he was saying that he was going to look tough before being escorted out by his manager. Cena says that he has a message for Armando Alejandro Estrada. He wants Estrada to sit Umaga down to find out if he is a man or a puppet. Cena says that he is ready to fight. He says that if Umaga is ready to wrestle, he is truly the Samoan Bulldozer. If he says no, he is truly full of Samoan . . .
Cena is interrupted by the music for MNM as Melina walks to the ring and she has something to say. Cena says that Umaga looks different. Melina says that she does not feel well, but she wanted to say something to Cena’s face. She says that Cena has bigger things to worry about than Umaga. On January 1st, Cena is going to face a megastar who is being personally trained by Johnny Nitro. That man is a personal friend of hers, Kevin Federline. We see a photo of Kevin on the TitanTron. Cena says that photo is a reason to practice safe sex. Melina says that Johnny is training Kevin to take out all of his frustration on Cena. Cena wonders if that means that Nitro is showing Kevin how to be a man; and if so, does that mean that Melina was showing Britney how to run around all of those nightclubs without any panties on acting like a slut? Melina slaps Cena and Cena has the crowd settle down because he says that it is apparent that she has a message from K-Fed. Cena gets Melina up for an FU but Chris Masters comes into the ring and Cena puts Melina down and he throws Masters over the top rope to the floor.
Jonathan Coachman comes out and he has something to say. Coachman says that he had a feeling that Cena would embarrass Melina like he embarrassed Coach when they fought last month. Coach says that he does not forget these things and he waits. That is why he sent out Chris Masters to teach him a lesson. Cena says that Coach did such a great job. Cena says that Coach sucks at revenge, just like he sucks at running Raw. Coach says that Cena will not be facing Umaga tonight. They will wait until New Year’s Revolution. Coach says that Johnny will be in action tonight and he will be in the MasterLock Challenge, something that no one has been able to win. If Cena cannot escape the Master Lock, Masters will have a title match next week. Cena says that is unentertaining television and he jokes that you can hear the sound of a million people not giving a crap. Cena reminds Coach that Charleston is where Eric Bischoff was fired. At least Bischoff made it entertaining. Cena comments on Coach’s singing abilities and we see footage of Coach in the bathroom singing ‘I’m Too Sexy’.
Coach says that if Cena wants controversy, entertainment, and excitement; he has a change of heart. Tonight John Cena will take the Master Lock Challenge, and it will be for the WWE Title. We go to commercial.

Since DX is trying to humiliate Edge, Orton, and the Spirit Squad, they can join forces to take care of DX. Orton wants to know what Kenny can do for them. Kenny says that strength in numbers will help them. Edge wonders what makes Kenny think that he is in their league. Edge reminds them that the Spirit Squad were shipped to OVW last week. He needs to prove himself to get a chance.
