Here are the Backlash results, at long last:

Elijah Burke and Marcus Cor Von used cheap tactics to dethrone Matt Hardy and Finlay for the WWE Tag Team Titles, giving each man their first taste of WWE gold. ***, 81% Overall

Shawn Michaels and Jeff Hardy fought in a brutal ladder match for the Intercontinental Championship. Hardy nearly had the belt retained despite HBK trying his best to use all sorts of other weapons to stop him. However, Michaels managed to muster enough energy to knock over the ladder, sending Hardy crashing through the tables below and giving Michaels his first Intercontinental Title since 1995. Certainly, neither man will be 100% for the battle royal later on, Hardy may not be able to even stand. ***3/4, 92% Overall

MVP nudged out Triple H to hang onto his Money in the Bank briefcase...the egotistical superstar now will have even more to brag about. It's a night for the heels so far. ***1/4, 88% Overall

Mickie James' mystery opponent wound up being Molly Holly, who looked more vicious than ever. Molly seemingly had the title won after a cheap shot with brass knuckles behind the ref's back (not very ladylike!), but another referee reversed the decision. Mickie retains the belt. *3/4, 73% Overall

The World War 3 Battle Royal was thrilling, plenty of action and surprising moments from the beginning right until the end. From Jeff Hardy stumbling and limping his way into the match just long enough to eliminate Shawn Michaels and himself right up until fate made MVP and Triple H the final two men left, the match had it all. The two superstars defied the odds and wound up being the last two out of the 60 that started. Triple H got the best of the exchange, granting him the right to choose his brand. He then announced he would be staying in WWE, and wrestling on Raw every Monday night. 2.625 stars, 77.5% Overall

Backstage, WWE chairman Vince McMahon flipped out. He had been trying to rid himself of Triple H for ages, and he would have had no intention on drafting him...but he's stuck with him anyway. 89% Overall

In the first fall of the Double Jeopardy match, all three champions went all out. Eventually Chris Jericho locked on the Walls of Jericho to Booker T, but Booker, with the heart of a champion, didn't tap. Jericho was forced to relinquish the hold when Punk leaped and kneed him in the back of the head. Punk then rolled over Book and locked in the Anaconda Vice, forcing him to tap. This means that Vince McMahon and WWE would be getting the #4 overall pick. ***1/4, 89% Overall

With just Jericho and Punk left, both men put on a great contest despite being physically exhausted. Lots of near finishes commenced and each man faught out of his opponent's submission holds. Jericho muscled out of the GTS before planting Punk with the Codebreaker and then hitting the Lionsault for the win. Paul Heyman and ECW would get the #3 pick, while Eric Bischoff and WCW would be granted the #2 AND #1 overall picks in the draft. ****1/4, 90% Overall

The draft edition of Raw will be up eventually, possibly tomorrow...and then after that I'll post the full rosters for each show once I finally work them out.
