RAW Results - October 15, 2007
----------
THREE-WAY THROWDOWN
Tonight's edition of Raw started off with quite a splash...Shane McMahon made a rare appearance to announce that, as was supposed to happen last week, John Cena would face Triple H one-on-one to determine the number one contender to Randy Orton's WWE Championship...
...however, there would be a wall of lumberjacks at ringside preventing interference from The Corporation. The lumberjacks (which I envisioned being the majority of the faces from all three brands), almost did their job flawlessly. The Corporation eventually rushed out...and a massive brawl ensued outside of the ring.
However, as the ref was trying to sort things out outside, Randy Orton managed to escape the skirmish and blast Triple H with his title as he was set up for a Pedigree. Orton left the ring to gloat, but what he didn't expect was for Triple H and John Cena to somehow end up on top of each other, with the match ending in a double pin.
It was then announced by Shane that at Survivor Series, Randy Orton would defend his title in a triple threat match. And, next week on all 3 shows, every match will have stipulations that can be voted on WWE.com by fans. Next week, each participant will pair off with a fan-chosen partner for a 3-way tag team match!
The Corporation managed to add a couple of new recruits to its ranks. The World's Greatest Tag Team made their in-ring return against the current champions, thanks to some assistance from Stevie McMahon and Carlito. After it was announced that TWGTT were the group's newest members, and soon they would bring the Tag Team gold home.
However, just as the group could add, more superstars are stepping up against them. Stevie and Carlito teamed up against the unlikely team of Jeff Hardy and Mr. Kennedy. The monster Snitsky helped his side win...but after we saw the return of another star: UMAGA! Umaga fought off the Corporate members. Hardy, Kennedy, and Umaga were all neck in neck for the IC Title about a month or so ago...an unlikely and probably unstable alliance seems to be forming to try and stop the Corporation.
The Glamazon has claimed another victim in former WWE Women's Champion Melina. One has to wonder if any one woman can stop her from running completely roughshod over the division.
Dave Taylor picked up his first Raw victory against the Sandman when Sandman went overboard and attacked Taylor with his cane. Raw GM William Regal demanded to know what the bloody hell Sandman was doing, and he got a cane on his own. Later on Regal went on to announce that next week, Regal and Taylor would team up against Sandman and "any tart" that Sandman could find in a tag match of the fan's choosing.
Tune in next week for WWE Cyber Week!
