RAW Results - October 8, 2007
------
CORPORATION STANDS TALL
The night seemed to start out as one of promise for Triple H and John Cena. Mr. McMahon decided that since they simply could not get along last night, they would face off in the main event of the evening with the winner being the number 1 contender to the WWE Title. That is, if and only if the two men won qualifying matches.
With that, Triple H ousted the egotistical Santino Marella and John Cena defeated a returning William Regal, who wanted nothing more than to rip Cena's head off as Cena was the one who put Regal out of action.
However, the match proved to be nothing more than a Corporate setup. Triple H and Cena both seemed winded going into their match, and they fought for several minutes...before the entire Corporation rushed the ring and administered yet another beatdown, bloodying both men and leaving us with no Number One Contender. One has to wonder if there is anyone who can top the Corporation, who are easily on top of the world.
Another Corporation member, Carlito, picked up a big victory over Mr. Kennedy thanks to help from Stevie McMahon. As the two proceeded to pound on the man who pinned Stevie just 24 hours earlier, Kennedy got a very unlikely assist from Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy. Mind you, both men were at each other's throats for that IC Title before Kennedy was suspended for "impersonating a McMahon".
London & Kendrick proved they are the real deal by once again defeated Cade & Murdoch to retain their titles with Cade & Murdoch exercising their re-match clause. After the bout, Shelton Benjamin rushed out along with returning partner Charlie Haas and they beat down the champions...it looks like we have our next contenders for the belts.
"The Glamazon" Beth Phoenix also steamrolled her way through another opponent, defeating singer wannabe Jillian Hall.
