TheFranchise Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 On Raw, General Manager Mike Adamle instituted a “Championship Scramble,” a 20-minute match for the World Heavyweight Title at Unforgiven between champion CM Punk, John Cena, Batista, Kane and JBL. The night’s show saw each of those Superstars except for Punk win a match. With so many determined competitors in the mix, will they be able to contain their ambition in the scant weeks leading up to Unforgiven? World Heavyweight Champion CM Punk’s aforementioned loss was suffered at the hands of the ruthless Chris Jericho, fresh off an accidental attack on the wife of his rival, Shawn Michaels. The first-ever Undisputed Champion has urged HBK to remain at home and comfort his family, but directly after his wife was laid out by Jericho, The Showstopper seemed to have something else in mind. Michaels gave up his career at SummerSlam – after the assault on his wife, will he still follow his doctor’s orders? Or will Jericho find himself on the receiving end of some retaliatory Sweet Chin Music? Last week on Raw, it was revealed that Kane’s burlap sack contained Rey Mysterio’s mask. This week, Kane explained how he brutally assaulted the Ultimate Underdog and stole his mask. Following the revelation, Mysterio’s former tag team partner and good friend Batista rushed to the ring and attacked Kane, who managed to get the upper hand over The Animal due to his injured leg. What is the condition of Rey Mysterio, and will the rivalry between Batista and Kane spill over into their Championship Scramble? For the answers to these questions and more, watch Monday Night Raw live at its regular time of 9/8 CT, this Monday on Sci Fi Channel - for one night only. Or catch the action at 11/10 CT on USA Network.
rezinda Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 Kofi gets a rematch for the IC against Santino. Batista fights Kane. Live appearnace by Michaels. The only thing this Raw is missing is a No. 1 Contender tag team turmoil for the tag titles. Highlanders, Cryme Tyme, .....oh wait they don't have any other tag teams.

And they don't have The Highlanders either.
Enigma Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 Why is Raw on Sci Fi this week? Dog show? Tennis.
Matt Young Posted August 25, 2008 Report Posted August 25, 2008 -C.M. Punk vs. JBL. -Batista vs. Kane. -Santino Marella vs. Kofi Kingston for the Intercontinental Title. -Beth Phoenix vs. Kelly Kelly All announced for tonight. The weird thing is that last week, I had a dream in which Kofi beat Santino for the title, 8 days after losing it, which would be tonight.
Anakin Flair Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 Wow, what a new and exciting match.
Downhome Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 When one of your announcers says the following about the rules of an upcoming match: "I'm a little confused after that explanation." - Lawler Then something is wrong.
Exslade ZX Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 Cena's injury could be Jericho's in to the match, considering they just mentioned. Seeing how I really don't expect the Jericho/Michaels blowoff at a throwaway like Unforgiven.
Ravenbomb Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 Heh. Asking the announcers if they were alright was a nice touch.
cd213 Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 So, you can have a 20 minute promo open the show with no commercial break, but you can't even have a match go 10 minutes before the commercials start.

The Truthiness Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 Awesome match. JBL has been good to Punk.
Noah Fentz Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 Awesome match. JBL has been good to Punk. I thought that match was awful and boring. CM just doesn't have what it takes to be a champ, IMO. What did he do? A dozen kicks and a springboard before his finisher? I still haven't seen a very convincing performance from him, since winning the belt. You are very right, though, JBL has been VERY good to him.
TheFranchise Posted August 26, 2008 Author Report Posted August 26, 2008 Layfield has done for Punk what Eddie did for Layfield. Good for him.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 Batista hurt Cena! Makes sense.
The Amazing Rando Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 he herniated a disk in his NECKS
Ravenbomb Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 Fuck this audience for cheering about Cena being injured.
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 Last time the GM made an announcement "later in the night," naming a "worthy challenger" Orton RKO'd Cena.
Pythagoras Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 he herniated a disk in his NECKS Shit, both of them?
Noah Fentz Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 Fuck this audience for cheering about Cena being injured. Please tell me you're not surprised. It happens all over the country.
Ravenbomb Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 I'm not surprised, but fuck 'em all the same.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 Did Kane rape Mysterio? Rape Mysterio Jr! Rimshot!
The Truthiness Posted August 26, 2008 Report Posted August 26, 2008 I'm not surprised, but fuck 'em all the same. I agree
