RAW Results - October 1, 2007
-----
The night had all the makings of a great one for the new Corporation, kicking it off with the vicious Snitsky using his brute strength and some timely help from Randy Orton to gain a pinfall victory over John Cena. Triple H tried to intervene after, but he was met with a Big Boot to the face.
Stevie McMahon picked up a victory over rookie Cody Rhodes, and afterwards, he announced that he was issuing an open challenge for No Mercy...he knows everyone is jealous that he's McMahon's son, and so he'll take on any challengers.
Carlito also made his presence felt. Jeff Hardy squared off in a match, defending his Intercontinental Title against Shelton Benjamin. Although Hardy came out victorious, Carlito attacked Hardy after, leaving him down and out. Carlito then announced that, per orders of Mr. McMahon, Hardy would defend his title against Carlito at the PPV. Now that's cool!
But then came the night's main event with Triple H facing Randy Orton in a No Disqualification Match. It was a back-and-forth encounter, and it seemed all but certain to be an Orton victory when Snitsky ran out. He lined up for a Big Boot, but Triple H ducked and Orton got laid out instead. Triple H got the win, and John Cena ran out to help his partner fight off the Corporation. As the show closed, Cena and Triple H got into a staredown, knowing that when all is said and done, both men hope to be WWE Champion at the end of No Mercy.
After a re-match from Unforgiven was signed over the weekend that would see Cade & Murdoch once again defend the titles against London & Kendrick, Kendrick faced off against Murdoch in singles action. Kendrick scored the win, giving his team momentum heading into Sunday.
Raw also saw something extremely unexpected. ECW General Manager Armando Estrada announced that he swung a deal with interim Raw GM Jonathan Coachman to grant ECW a segment on this week's Raw (apparently, Cuban cigars can do that). Estrada used the opportunity to hype Sunday's Extreme Elimination Chamber and announced that ECW tomorrow night would feature a full hour of wrestling, 6 "Beat the Clock" Matches to determine who enters 6th in the Chamber match.
Estrada also used his segment to bring the millions of fans worldwide a match originally scheduled for ECW one night early...Balls Mahoney and Kelly Kelly vs. The Miz, Brooke, and Layla. When all was said and done, Mahoney hit Miz with a Nutcracker Suite for the victory. After, neither Brooke nor Layla checked up on the Miz...instead, all 3 Extreme Expose members latched onto Mahoney. Said Kelly "it looks like we are all gonna have fun with Balls tonight". (surprisingly this match got ONLY -*...thought it'd be much worse)
Tune in to ECW tomorrow to see who wins the #6 spot in the Extreme Elimination Chamber.
