00:00:00Yes, sir. We promised you a great main event here tonight.
00:00:07WrestleMania is running wild.
00:00:10You're fired.
00:00:13It's not over.
00:00:15The world is watching.
00:00:22Tonight, I am pressing charges against Triple H.
00:00:29Last week, he committed assault with a deadly weapon.
00:00:34And I not escaped.
00:00:37You could have ended my career, not to mention my life.
00:00:41Triple H isn't going to WrestleMania.
00:00:45He's going to jail.
00:00:48You can stand in this ring, hide behind your lawyers and your security.
00:00:53You can talk tough, but I know the truth.
00:00:57You took out the entire McMahon family.
00:01:00Now you need to go to WrestleMania and beat me for the WWE Championship.
00:01:07When you make a conscious choice to run, it's because you're afraid.
00:01:14You don't have what it takes.
00:01:18I think I've changed my mind.
00:01:22Under one condition, we settle this at WrestleMania.
00:01:30You do not put your hands on me unless you are physically provoked.
00:01:35I don't touch you, you don't touch me.
00:01:37If you violate that, there is no match.
00:01:40I press charges and you spend WrestleMania behind bars.
00:01:48Deal.
00:01:50There's one more thing.
00:01:52I just thought you might want to know that it felt great.
00:01:55When I kicked the old man in the skull,
00:01:59it felt even better when I did the same thing to Shane.
00:02:05But Hunter, when I hit that RKO on your wife,
00:02:10I can still smell her scent, her skin.
00:02:17It's so soft.
00:02:20At least that's what I remember.
00:02:22I wonder what the last thing your wife remembers when I grabbed her by the neck
00:02:28and I slammed her pretty little face right down to the ground.
00:02:35The last time you and I fought, I broke your collarbone.
00:02:39That was just business.
00:02:42This is personal.
00:02:45I'm going to break your neck.
00:02:57What the heck, it's legacy.
00:02:59Randy Orton, Ted DiBiase, and Cody Rhodes have surrounded the ring.
00:03:05The game being literally stopped.
00:03:16Wow.
00:03:21Later on tonight, we will see what happened this past Friday night,
00:03:24one of the most brutal assaults we've ever witnessed.
00:03:27And you are looking live at the St. Louis, Missouri home of Randy Orton.
00:03:30He will join us live via satellite.
00:03:32We intend to ask Randy about Legacy's cold and calculating assault on Triple H.
00:03:38Wait until you see what happens.
00:03:41And speaking of Triple H, what condition will Triple H be in
00:03:44as he is scheduled to compete against both Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase
00:03:49just three days after that brutal assault?
00:03:52Two-on-one handicap match, can the game overcome the odds?
00:04:06Monday Night Raw is live in Jacksonville, Florida with Mr. WrestleMania.
00:04:15I said, chill.
00:04:17Up and down, that's fine.
00:04:19I'm just a sexy boy.
00:04:23I'm not your boy toy.
00:04:33Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels.
00:04:39And Shawn Michaels has that swagger back in his step, Michael.
00:04:43And this past Friday night on SmackDown,
00:04:45The Undertaker officially accepted the challenge
00:04:49at the 25th anniversary of WrestleMania.
00:04:52The Undertaker in his 16-0 WrestleMania unbeaten streak
00:04:57against the showstopper, Shawn Michaels.
00:05:01I'm just a sexy boy.
00:05:05I'm not your boy toy.
00:05:07I'm just a sexy boy.
00:05:11I'm just a sexy boy.
00:05:15I'm just a sexy boy.
00:05:3116-0 at WrestleMania.
00:05:35A feat so extraordinary, so epic in scope,
00:05:39no one could ever think of replicating it.
00:05:42But when it comes to showstopping performances,
00:05:46I'm no slouch myself.
00:05:50That's why this past Friday night on SmackDown,
00:05:54I sent my opponent, The Undertaker, a little message.
00:06:00A video highlight package
00:06:02of some of my most memorable WrestleMania moments.
00:06:11You see, it's very important to understand
00:06:16I respect The Undertaker,
00:06:19but I am not afraid of The Undertaker.
00:06:24You may be 16-0 at WrestleMania,
00:06:28but I am Mr. WrestleMania.
00:06:35I have never been outperformed
00:06:38on the grandest stage of them all,
00:06:40and I never will.
00:06:43Streaks are meant to be broken,
00:06:46good things must come to an end,
00:06:49and absolutely nothing lasts.
00:06:53Nothing lasts forever.
00:06:57What I'm saying is this, Undertaker,
00:07:00at WrestleMania, something's gotta give.
00:07:05So as best I can tell...
00:07:23...
00:07:24...
00:07:25...
00:07:26...

00:08:33...
00:08:34...
00:08:35...
00:08:36...
00:08:37Sometimes it is hell trying to get to heaven.
00:08:52...
00:08:53...
00:08:54...
00:08:55...
00:08:56...
00:08:57...
00:08:58...
00:08:59...
00:09:00...
00:09:01...
00:09:02...
00:09:03...
00:09:05Hello Undertaker!
00:09:11I've been expecting you.
00:09:23Once again, Shawn,
00:09:26your arrogance
00:09:31has clouded your judgment.
00:09:36You see,
00:09:39I do respect you,
00:09:42but I've fought many men that I've respected and they've all fallen.
00:09:54And you
00:09:57will be no different.
00:09:59You and I
00:10:01have taken very different career paths. We've even taken
00:10:06different personal paths.
00:10:09Yet it seems we're at a crossroads.
00:10:12But now that I have you here, let me make one thing perfectly clear to you. I shouldn't have to qualify
00:10:19to compete against anybody at WrestleMania. Need I remind you that I am the man
00:10:26that set the bar for the ladder match. I am the man
00:10:31that wrestled for over an hour and walked out the WWE champion.
00:10:36And I am the man that retired the legendary Ric Flair.
00:10:46Undertaker, I am still the showstopper and I cannot wait for this.
00:11:02Shawn,
00:11:04you have had epic victories at WrestleMania.
00:11:11But then again,
00:11:14you've had bitter defeat.
00:11:18And despite
00:11:21all of your achievements,
00:11:24that dream you have of defeating me at WrestleMania is just that, a dream.
00:11:31And I will soon
00:11:33lay it to rest.
00:11:36You see, Shawn, you concern yourself with being the showstopper.
00:11:43You concern yourself
00:11:47with winning a match and breaking in a streak.
00:11:51What you should concern yourself with
00:11:54is what I'm going to do to you physically.
00:12:01And even more importantly than that, Shawn, what I'm going to do to your soul.
00:12:10Because I don't need to outperform you and I don't need to steal the show.
00:12:18But when I take center ring at WrestleMania and I stand before my peers and all of the world,
00:12:26you then will realize that I am the most dangerous entity that has ever stepped foot in this ring.
00:12:40Shawn,
00:12:43you should have been more careful in what you wish for because now you have opened hell's gates.
00:12:55And just like the 16 that come before you
00:13:00at WrestleMania 25 in Houston, Texas, you will
00:13:07rest. I will rest
00:13:10quite comfortably
00:13:12the evening of April 5th,
00:13:17knowing that I did the impossible.
00:13:22I ended
00:13:24the undefeated streak of The Undertaker.
00:13:31And even though you may have beaten all your other WrestleMania opponents, know this.
00:13:42You have never beaten me.
00:13:48And you never will.
00:13:54Thank you.
00:14:24Number two.
00:14:32The question is, what exactly did John Cena whisper in Vickie Guerrero's ear after Cena interrupted the contract signing between Big Show and Edge this past Friday on SmackDown?
00:14:42One can only speculate.
00:14:44But it certainly seemed to shock Vickie.
00:14:46This match is set for one fall, and it is for the Intercontinental Championship.
00:14:58Welcome back ladies and gentlemen to cable television's number one show.
00:15:06This is Monday Night Raw. We are live in Jacksonville, Florida.
00:15:10Michael, I gotta tell you right now, I have never seen anyone talk to The Undertaker like Shawn Michaels did.
00:15:18Stood right up to him.
00:15:20Introducing the challenger from New York City, John Rashawn Lightfield.
00:15:42The multi-millionaire, JBL, looking to win Intercontinental gold tonight.
00:15:50Tonight, Raw is presented by Popeyes.
00:15:54Welcome to Louisiana Fast.
00:15:56And presented by Square Enix, Star Ocean 4, the video game available now.
00:16:02And by the auto parts experts at AutoZone. Get in the zone, AutoZone.
00:16:08We understand JBL has been lobbying for this match with Interim General Manager Vickie Guerrero for quite some time.
00:16:14Yeah, well if you ask me, I think that Vickie Guerrero gave him the match just so JBL would shut up.
00:16:30And from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 222 pounds, he is the Intercontinental Champion CM Punk!
00:16:42CM Punk on the Intercontinental title back in January by beating William Regal.
00:16:48Punk defends tonight against JBL.
00:16:52You know, the fact that JBL wants to return to WrestleMania on April 5th in his home state of Texas is starting to become an obsession with JBL.
00:17:00He wants to return, he says, as a conquering hero.
00:17:04And on his WWEUniverse.com blog this week, JBL said, quote, I'm planning to do something historic.
00:17:10I'm going to shock the world and change the WWE forever at the 25th anniversary of WrestleMania.
00:17:16Well, JBL's been trying to do something historic concerning WrestleMania all along.
00:17:20Remember, he thought he was going to be going to WrestleMania as the world champion thanks to his hookup with Shawn Michaels.
00:17:26And when that didn't work out, he thought he'd be the one to break The Undertaker's undefeated streak at WrestleMania.
00:17:32That didn't work out either, did it?
00:17:34Not at all.
00:17:37And you can see the intensity in the eyes of John Bradshaw Layfield, the challenger for the Intercontinental Championship.
00:17:44He is going up against The Man.
00:17:49And CM Punk, who has been on quite a hot streak over the past year.
00:17:53CM Punk winning the Money in the Bank ladder match at last year's WrestleMania.
00:18:00And in just two weeks, CM Punk defeated Miz and Morrison, triple threat, Money in the Bank qualifying match.
00:18:05So, CM Punk going to be back in the Money in the Bank match at WrestleMania.
00:18:10JBL, the more physical of the two.
00:18:13CM Punk looking to use some balance and fitness in this match.
00:18:20Looks like he wants to take it right to JBL.
00:18:23That's the only way you can do it. The only way you get a victory over JBL.
00:18:28JBL with a quick kickout. Intercontinental Championship on the line, live on Monday Night Raw.
00:18:33You know, JBL, this picture right here is worth a thousand words.
00:18:37His size, he's deceptively big. I mean, CM Punk is a big guy, but look at JBL, just towers over CM Punk.
00:18:43Here, 300-pounder JBL, looking for a sleeper.
00:18:46Remember, if he can get the champion to submit or pass out, he would win the title.
00:18:51Right in the jaw.
00:18:54Ooh, caught with a high knee.
00:18:56Caught with a high knee.
00:18:59Usually sets up that runny bulldog, but JBL figures he needs a bit of a timeout.
00:19:07And play is open!
00:19:09No rest for the weary.
00:19:11JBL caught the knee, then he caught Punk. Right to his face!
00:19:14Punk is rolling. Can he keep his Intercontinental Championship? Find out as Raw continues live.
00:19:21We are back live on Monday Night Raw. The Intercontinental Championship is on the line.
00:19:25The champion, CM Punk, in trouble.
00:19:27To the challenger, JBL, who really turned things around during the commercial break.
00:19:32Oh, man, he has really got CM Punk in a bad way right now.
00:19:35That abdominal stretch, trying to get the champion to submit.
00:19:38And you look, here's what happened right during the commercial break.
00:19:41Huge boot to the side of the face of CM Punk.
00:19:45The champion, we know him as a survivor.
00:19:47He was world champion for a number of months, living by that great punk.
00:19:51But, ooh, a fallaway slam by JBL.
00:19:55And the physicality of JBL taking over.
00:19:57Championship on the line. Can JBL win the title?
00:20:04Been a couple of frustrating months for John Bradshaw Layfield, as you alluded to earlier.
00:20:09And this could just add to the frustration if JBL doesn't win here tonight.
00:20:13Between that and the stock market.
00:20:18JBL, the longest running champion in SmackDown history.
00:20:23So many accolades.
00:20:24Talking about his stock market, he usually keeps a million dollars in chains just on his right stick.
00:20:28Been tough lately.
00:20:29Big clothesline, CM in trouble.
00:20:31JBL looking to win the gold.
00:20:34Punk kicking out at two.
00:20:43That's the thing about JBL, just wears you down physically.
00:20:47We were just talking about this financial situation, the economy.
00:20:50Of course, he's got all the money in the world, but he has to take out his frustrations.
00:20:53Cover again, cover again. Champion in trouble.
00:20:55Champion.
00:20:57He got his shoulder up at two and a half.
00:21:01If you could just look at the look on JBL's face as he comes closer and closer to beating Sam Punk
00:21:07and winning that Intercontinental Championship.
00:21:09It just looks as if he's taking out all of his frustrations down.
00:21:13Not only, like you said, about the economy, but the Shawn Michaels situation,
00:21:16the WrestleMania situation.
00:21:17Taking it all out on Punk.
00:21:18He's taking it all out on Punk.
00:21:20JBL had targeted the lower back of CM Punk.
00:21:24Champion with a fight left in him.
00:21:33Ooh, man!
00:21:34Big roundhouse right hand from JBL.
00:21:37Dicks.
00:21:39CM Punk right back into that turnbuckle.
00:21:40This could be it.
00:21:41This could be it.
00:21:47He'll use every part of his body.
00:21:49And Punk!
00:21:50Tornado DDT!
00:21:52And the champion may build some momentum.
00:21:55Build some momentum if he can some way cover JBL and win this match.
00:22:01Punk crawling, trying to somehow get to the cover on the challenger.
00:22:06Just throws his body at JBL.
00:22:08Who kicks out and keeps his title hopes alive.
00:22:12No!
00:22:13No!
00:22:14No!
00:22:15I thought JBL was out of it.
00:22:18Ooh!
00:22:19He may be now.
00:22:20Oh!
00:22:24That's the thing about Punk.
00:22:25You don't know whether to try to block a punch, a kick, or whatever's coming at you.
00:22:29Offense comes from everywhere.
00:22:30Just like that.
00:22:37Oh, CM Punk looking for that high knee again.
00:22:42Ooh!
00:22:45Good clothesline.
00:22:47Come off that top rope.
00:22:51JBL stunned for a moment.
00:22:52There it is.
00:22:54And there's the running bulldog that he tried to connect on before.
00:22:57Goodnight, nurse.
00:22:58Champion into the cover.
00:22:59Hook of the leg and another near fall for CM Punk.
00:23:02Man!
00:23:05I'm shocked.
00:23:06I thought that was it for JBL.
00:23:08Watch this big knee right here.
00:23:10Watch this big knee right to the side of the head of JBL.
00:23:14Followed that up with a big bulldog.
00:23:17And CM Punk measuring his man.
00:23:20Perhaps it's time to make JBL go to sleep.
00:23:25Go for the GTS.
00:23:26Here's why CM Punk's the champion.
00:23:28Look at this.
00:23:29Look at this.
00:23:30Look at this.
00:23:31JBL clothesline from hell.
00:23:33I believe he raked the eyes, but the referee was blinded.
00:23:37And JBL is the new Intercontinental Champion.
00:23:40Oh, my goodness.
00:23:42Here is your winner and the new Intercontinental Champion,
00:23:48Jon Bradshaw Mayfield.
00:23:52Boy, right out of the referee's line of sight,
00:23:55JBL viciously raked the eyes of CM Punk.
00:23:59CM Punk never saw that clothesline from hell coming.
00:24:02JBL winning the one title that has eluded him throughout his career.
00:24:07First time he's carried the Intercontinental gold.
00:24:12I'm telling you, CM Punk was virtually blind.
00:24:15He never saw the clothesline coming.
00:24:17Watch this.
00:24:19CM Punk going for the GTS.
00:24:21But look, the referee out of his line of vision.
00:24:25The rake of the eyes.
00:24:26And then, like I said, Punk never saw it coming.
00:24:29But it arrived.
00:24:30That clothesline from hell.
00:24:32The new champion, Jon Bradshaw Mayfield,
00:24:35wins the Intercontinental title.
00:24:40What a shock.
00:24:45What a night for JBL.
00:24:49And ladies and gentlemen, you are looking live at the home of Randy Orton
00:24:52in St. Louis, Missouri.

00:25:50I just did something for you.
00:25:52I put you in that title match.
00:25:54Now, you're going to do something for me.
00:25:59Fair enough.
00:26:00That's the deal, darling.
00:26:01From the inner Cottonelle champ.
00:26:03I need to speak to my wife.
00:26:05Don't get hot brother
00:26:09Honey I haven't talked to you all weekend
00:26:13And I've calmed down
00:26:15I've calmed down, but I need to know exactly what John Cena whispered in your ear when he ruined my contract signing last week
00:26:21Okay, was it things that you wanted to hear all I know is he comes down
00:26:26He flings a table in my face whispers in your ear, and you turn. What is a ghost so so what did he say?
00:26:36You know what
00:26:38You're right. It doesn't matter the only thing that matters is that I signed my Wrestlemania contract tonight
00:26:52Well it may not matter to edge, but I'd still like to know what Cena whispered in Vickie's ear
00:26:56Well, that's about the world championship on April 5th of the 25th anniversary of Wrestlemania the WWE title will also be defended
00:27:03Triple H
00:27:04Defending against Randy Orton boy did Randy Orton throw some fuel on that fire with the attack on the game this past Friday on Smackdown
00:27:10Well, we hope to get some answers from Randy Orton about that attack right now
00:27:14Randy Orton joining us live from his home in st. Louis via satellite Randy
00:27:18Thank you so much for allowing us into your home this evening
00:27:22Before we go any further
00:27:24I'd like to introduce my wife
00:27:27Samantha
00:27:29Well, thanks to both of you and Randy last week you agreed to use your Royal Rumble win to face Triple H for the WWE
00:27:35Title at Wrestlemania however you added the stipulation unless physically provoked you wouldn't touch Triple H and vice versa
00:27:41Why did you violate your own stipulation?
00:27:45First of all for those who didn't have the benefit of seeing this alleged
00:27:51violation
00:27:53Michael Cole would you please show them what they missed?
00:28:00I
00:28:02Legacy
00:28:05Randy Orton Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes
00:28:08Surrounded the ring
00:28:10Do not put your hands on me unless you are physically
00:28:17The first man in and then DiBiase
00:28:21With a cheap shot. Well look like a pack of wolves
00:28:24And the game has been physically provoked by Randy Orton and DiBiase trying to retaliate
00:28:33DiBiase fighting no blazing
00:28:37This game is too much
00:28:39The odds are getting the game
00:28:43A vicious orchestrated attack
00:28:50I don't touch you, you don't touch me
00:28:52We settle this
00:29:22You do not put your hands on me unless you are physically provoked
00:29:53You call it a violation Michael Cole
00:29:57But I call it restraint. It would have been easy for me to end everything right there
00:30:03Triple H I could have kicked you in the head
00:30:06Just like I did your father-in-law and your brother-in-law. I could have RKO'd you just like I did your wife
00:30:17But I didn't
00:30:20I'm proud
00:30:22That I had the self-control that's necessary for me to take my rightful place at WrestleMania
00:30:30And despite every contusion every aching bone in your body. I'm confident Triple H that you'll show in
00:30:37Houston I
00:30:39Even think that you'll show up on Raw
00:30:43tonight
00:30:45You have that whole prideful Triple H McMahon thing going on for you, but every time you do show up
00:30:54I'm gonna take just a little bit more out of you
00:31:00But I'm gonna leave just enough
00:31:03So that you can defend that championship
00:31:08Well Randy if you don't mind and we'd like to ask you a few more questions as the night progresses here on Raw, hey
00:31:15I'm not going anywhere
00:31:17I'm gonna sit right here with my wife and watch the main event
00:31:24Well we're not going anywhere either because the main event tonight is Randy Orton's WrestleMania opponent Triple H in a two-on-one
00:31:31Handicap match against legacies D B. Ossie and Rhodes
00:31:34But once again, you got to ask yourself after what happened this past Friday on Smackdown. Can the game overcome the odds?
00:31:39We'll find out tonight live on Monday Night Raw, but plenty more action as well
00:31:42Oh another reason we're not going anywhere for the first time ever on Raw the WWE Women's Champion takes on the WWE
00:31:49Diva's champion
00:31:51Alina vs. Maurice
00:31:53And it's next
00:31:58And now the WWE Slam of the Week presented by Pop-Tart
00:32:03presented by Popeyes
00:32:05Welcome to Louisiana Fast
00:32:12Santino with Beth's intern
00:32:14Oh this is breaking down
00:32:16Alina's gonna get involved as well. Hey look at Maurice
00:32:18Oh! What business does she have out here?
00:32:20Whoa!
00:32:22The Diva's champion came from Friday Night Smackdown
00:32:24And whatever message she wanted to send to Alina
00:32:26I guess she sent
00:32:33We are back live on Monday Night Raw
00:32:35Oh man! Divas everywhere!
00:32:37Well Smackdown Divas
00:32:39Apparently out here to support the Diva's champion
00:32:41Maurice
00:32:43Oh look! The Raw Divas are here as well!
00:32:45Out here to support the WWE Women's Champion Alina
00:32:57The following is a champion vs. champion match
00:33:01Introducing first
00:33:03Representing Smackdown
00:33:05She is the Divas champion
00:33:07Maurice
00:33:09Well you know some of the Smackdown Divas may not like the Divas champion
00:33:11Maurice but they are out here to support their brand
00:33:13And their champion
00:33:15I sometimes wonder if any women like other women
00:33:19I like Maurice
00:33:21That's the first time for Raw
00:33:23Divas champion
00:33:25I think she just winked at me
00:33:27We'll meet the Women's Champion
00:33:29Alina
00:33:35And representing Raw
00:33:37From Los Angeles, California
00:33:39She's the WWE Women's Champion
00:33:41Alina
00:33:43There's been a lot of jealousy
00:33:45Of late between the Raw Divas and the Smackdown Divas
00:33:47We saw what happened on Raw last Monday Night
00:33:49But what about what happened this past Friday Night on Smackdown
00:33:51Alina rushed the ring from out of nowhere
00:33:53And attacked Maurice
00:33:55The Divas champion
00:33:57And Michelle McCool
00:33:59To Smackdown after Alina
00:34:01I love it
00:34:03I just love it
00:34:05I love it when Divas are going after Divas
00:34:11First time ever on Raw
00:34:13The Divas champion
00:34:15Maurice will take on Alina
00:34:17The WWE Women's Champion
00:34:19In Diva Action
00:34:21One of the Divas at ringside
00:34:23Mickie James
00:34:25Their title is actually up for grabs
00:34:27What about bragging rights?
00:34:29This is big
00:34:31Hard time finding you all day
00:34:33Today King
00:34:35I bet you were checking out that new Diva 365
00:34:37On WWE.com
00:34:39I didn't look at it very long
00:34:41There's thousands of photos
00:34:43Of all the Red Hot Divas on there
00:34:45And the Raw Divas
00:34:47I should say the Smackdown Divas
00:34:49Sending the Raw Champion back into the ring
00:34:51Catch the hair
00:34:53Hey!
00:34:55Maurice on commentary last week
00:34:57Telling us that everyone wants to take a picture
00:34:59Says she's in demand everywhere
00:35:01Get that camera for me
00:35:05I see myself right now
00:35:07And one of Kelly Kelly as well
00:35:09Unique maneuver
00:35:11By the Divas champion Maurice
00:35:13Oh my goodness
00:35:15She's gonna break Melina in half
00:35:17Just listen to Melina
00:35:19I don't think it's worth it
00:35:21About the hair pulling there
00:35:23I don't think your body is made to bend that way
00:35:29Raw live here tonight
00:35:31Oh wow
00:35:33Man
00:35:35Maurice loves to run her mouth
00:35:37I'm glad we only had to hear that
00:35:39Maurice had to feel it
00:35:43And the women's champion
00:35:45Melina building a little bit of momentum
00:35:51Melina into the cover
00:35:55And Maurice from Friday Night Smackdown had to kick out
00:35:57This is Monday Night Raw
00:35:59And Melina is our champion
00:36:01So I guess we sort of have to be a little biased
00:36:03Towards Melina
00:36:05Oh!
00:36:09Oh! Did you breathe?
00:36:11Oh my lord
00:36:13I think she has agitated
00:36:15Melina a little bit here
00:36:17You saw what happened last week
00:36:19Uh oh
00:36:21Getting a little over
00:36:23Talk about aggressive
00:36:25Man right on the back of her head
00:36:27Divas champion
00:36:29Hooks both legs
00:36:31And Maurice has beaten Melina on Monday Night Raw
00:36:33Here is your winner
00:36:35Money
00:36:37Well I gotta say
00:36:39That's a bit of a shock
00:36:41Maurice comes to Raw
00:36:43From Smackdown and wins
00:36:45Our champion
00:36:47Whoa whoa whoa
00:36:49Well that was Rosa Santino and Fitz
00:36:51Interning
00:36:53Calm down girls
00:36:55Calm down
00:36:57Uh oh
00:36:59Battle lines are drawn
00:37:03We got Raw vs Smackdown
00:37:05They're trying to break this up
00:37:07Whoa
00:37:09Whoa
00:37:11Whoa
00:37:13Whoa
00:37:15Whoa
00:37:17Whoa
00:37:19Whoa
00:37:21Whoa
00:37:23Oh my god
00:37:25Oh my god
00:37:27Uh oh
00:37:29Here goes the one that started this entire
00:37:31Yeah but you realize
00:37:33You've got some Raw Divas and Smackdown Divas
00:37:35Tall and together
00:37:37Together
00:37:39Yeah they're together
00:37:41This is great
00:37:43Well ladies and gentlemen
00:37:45Later on tonight here
00:37:47Live on Monday Night Raw
00:37:49Interim Raw General Manager
00:37:51Vickie Guerrero
00:37:53Plans to hold a contract signing
00:37:55Between the Big Show and Edge
00:37:57For the world championship match
00:37:59At the 25th anniversary of Wrestlemania
00:38:01She's hoping things go a little bit better
00:38:03Than they did this past Friday night on Smackdown
00:38:09It is my pleasure to preside
00:38:11Over the official
00:38:13Contract signing for the world
00:38:15Heavyweight championship
00:38:17At Wrestlemania
00:38:21I'm not gonna sign anything
00:38:23I need to know the truth
00:38:25I need to know what the deal is
00:38:27With you and the Big Show
00:38:29The relationship between Big Show and I
00:38:31Is strictly professional
00:38:33You're my husband
00:38:35I love you
00:38:39While I was away for a few months
00:38:41The Big Show took care of you
00:38:43And when I retained the title
00:38:45Against Cena on Raw
00:38:47You and the Big Show came out and dropped
00:38:49This bombshell on me
00:38:51You wanted to embarrass me didn't you?
00:38:53I would never embarrass you
00:38:55Why the Big Show?
00:38:57What makes the Big Show so damn special?
00:38:59Vickie
00:39:01I think it's time
00:39:03Edge learned the truth
00:39:05It's ok
00:39:07The truth is
00:39:11You're not a good champion
00:39:13Vickie knows
00:39:15That I will be a far better champion
00:39:17Than you
00:39:19That's why Vickie made this match
00:39:21Is that the truth Vickie?
00:39:23Is that what this is all about?
00:39:25Because if that's the case
00:39:27Show
00:39:29Let me tell you the truth
00:39:31I am more of a man than you
00:39:33Could ever be
00:39:35Why don't you
00:39:37Sign that contract
00:39:39And we'll find out
00:39:41What is John Cena
00:39:43Doing here?
00:39:47Oh!
00:39:49What is going on?
00:39:51Cena has disrupted this contract
00:39:53Signing
00:39:57Vickie
00:40:01Vickie
00:40:03Vickie
00:40:19Well
00:40:21What John Cena whispered to Vickie remains a secret
00:40:23But it's no secret
00:40:25That we will have our Wrestlemania contract
00:40:27Signing between Big Show and Edge
00:40:29Officiated by Vickie Guerrero
00:40:31Right here on RAW
00:40:33It's next

00:41:39He slapped the giant
00:41:41Wow
00:41:43Bobby Heenan
00:41:45Making a grave mistake
00:41:47I guess you could say that
00:41:49Andre is no longer a member of the Heenan family
00:41:51Jess

00:44:37I am here
00:44:39For the official Wrestlemania
00:44:41Contract signing for the World
00:44:43Heavyweight Championship
00:44:47Please help me welcome
00:44:49The challenger
00:44:51The world's largest athlete
00:44:53The Big Show
00:45:03What a shock
00:45:05It must have been for Edge last week
00:45:07When he was told by his wife
00:45:09Vicky Guerrero
00:45:11That he was going to have to face the Big Show
00:45:13With his world title on the line at Wrestlemania
00:45:17Well
00:45:19To me the big shock was
00:45:21Whatever was whispered into the ear of Vicky Guerrero
00:45:23I still would give my right arm to know what that was
00:45:25Well that happened
00:45:27This past Friday night on Smackdown
00:45:29Also on Smackdown, Big Show
00:45:31Telling Edge that quote
00:45:33You're not a good champion
00:45:35You take shortcuts
00:45:37I dominate, I demolish
00:45:39I'd be a great champion
00:45:45He does dominate and demolish
00:45:47And now the champion
00:45:49The rated R superstar
00:45:51My husband
00:45:53Edge
00:46:07Edge
00:46:21Edge must have felt like
00:46:23He got hit by a train last week
00:46:25But you know what Edge told Big Show
00:46:27On Smackdown Friday night
00:46:29He told Big Show I know why my wife
00:46:31Put me in this match
00:46:33Because she wants me to prove
00:46:35Something to the world
00:46:37That I can beat the world's largest athlete
00:46:39Edge even looked Big Show in the eye
00:46:41And said I'm more of a man than you are
00:46:43Well he may be
00:46:45But I'm certain
00:46:47I don't think he's proud of her man
00:46:49I've been defeated and brought down
00:47:03Gentlemen, please take a seat
00:47:05Big Show! Big Show!
00:47:07Big Show! Big Show!
00:47:09Big Show! Big Show!
00:47:11Big Show! Big Show!
00:47:13Big Show!
00:47:15Big Show! Big Show!
00:47:17Now Vickie, Vickie before you continue, there's something I need to say, you know Big Show
00:47:28last week we said some pretty harsh things to each other, things that neither of us are
00:47:33going to take back, but with that being said, this week's WrestleMania moment, it was from
00:47:39WrestleMania 6 in Toronto where I was in attendance, I was just a kid and I sat there and I watched
00:47:48the Ultimate Warrior take on Hulk Hogan, man the energy in that building, it was indescribable
00:47:54and what I'm trying to say is, I know that you're better than the Warrior, and I know
00:48:02that I'm far better than Hulk Hogan, listen the point that I'm trying to make is that
00:48:19we have the chance to have an epic historic match at WrestleMania, I don't care whether
00:48:25these people like us or not, the fact of the matter is whether they like it or not, we
00:48:35are the top two superstars in the WWE today, so I say that we put the past in the past
00:48:48and concentrate on creating history at WrestleMania.

00:51:36Thank you.
00:51:48Ricky, what are you talking about fair to the audience?
00:51:50Who cares what the audience thinks?
00:51:52I'm the number one contender.
00:51:54What are you doing?
00:51:56Joe,
00:51:58take it easy.
00:52:06But Vicky, I do think it's time everybody knew the truth.
00:52:08No, John.
00:52:10John, I am begging you.
00:52:12They're going to find out anyway.
00:52:14Listen,
00:52:16I came to SmackDown
00:52:18and I interrupted the contract signing
00:52:20not because
00:52:22I don't like you guys.
00:52:24Everybody knows I don't like you guys.
00:52:30My point is,
00:52:32I did what I did
00:52:34because I had to tell something to Vicky Guerrero.
00:52:38I had a piece of information
00:52:40that she needed to hear
00:52:42before all this became official.
00:52:48So at SmackDown,
00:52:50I told Vicky Guerrero
00:52:54what...
00:52:58I told Vicky
00:53:00that I love her.
00:53:04Okay, wait.
00:53:24Hold up.
00:53:26I know this may get a little bit weird
00:53:28because you guys
00:53:30may be legally married.
00:53:34But I can't control
00:53:36who I fall in love with, man.
00:53:40What happened, happened.
00:53:42And here's the thing.
00:53:44I know she's got feelings for me, too.
00:53:46I know you do.
00:53:48Because if you didn't,
00:53:50you wouldn't let me put my name on that contract.
00:53:52I don't know how to explain any of this.
00:53:54The heart wants what the heart wants.
00:53:56And my heart wants two things.
00:53:58The World Heavyweight Championship
00:54:00and Vicky Guerrero.
00:54:04I don't even know
00:54:06what we do about any of this.
00:54:08But I do know
00:54:10that I love you, Vicky.
00:54:16And I know...
00:54:18I know now
00:54:20that I'll see you two at WrestleMania.
00:54:34Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:54:36Sheeta!
00:54:38Sheeta, hold on a minute.
00:54:40Wait right there.
00:54:42Okay.
00:54:44You do not love Vicky, okay?
00:54:46No, you don't.
00:54:48You're playing on her emotional state
00:54:50so that you can worm your way
00:54:52into this title match at WrestleMania.
00:54:54Okay?
00:54:56But it's not gonna work
00:54:58because you're not gonna win.
00:55:00You're not gonna win.
00:55:02But it's not gonna work
00:55:04because Vicky's gonna take that contract.
00:55:06She's gonna take it right now, right in front of you
00:55:08and tear it up. Isn't that right, Vicky?
00:55:10Tear it up.
00:55:12Rip it up right now.
00:55:14Edge.
00:55:16She's...
00:55:18She's not gonna do that, man.
00:55:20She's not.
00:55:22The hell she isn't, Vicky.
00:55:24Vicky, rip it up. Do it.
00:55:26Do it.
00:55:28Forget it. I can't do it anymore.
00:55:30Forget it.
00:55:32You're right, Edge.
00:55:34I don't love Vicky.
00:55:42To be quite honest,
00:55:44the sight of her actually makes me sick.
00:55:50You wanted it, you got it.
00:55:52Here's the real truth.
00:55:54When I came to SmackDown,
00:55:56I politely told Vicky Guerrero
00:55:58that I got some friends
00:56:00in my hometown.
00:56:02I told Vicky Guerrero
00:56:04that I got some friends.
00:56:06Like maybe the guy
00:56:08who would take your ticket
00:56:10or the paramedics
00:56:12or the guy that would sell you a T-shirt.
00:56:14I politely told Vicky Guerrero
00:56:16that I even know the guy
00:56:18who works the security camera.
00:56:28What? What are you doing here?
00:56:30Edge is in the shower.
00:56:32Look, I just wanted to say
00:56:34thank you for putting me in time
00:56:36to watch WrestleMania. That was cool.
00:56:38Show. Look, I know we have these
00:56:40animalistic urges,
00:56:42but we're gonna have to slow this down
00:56:44at least until after WrestleMania.
00:56:46Okay, okay.
00:56:48After WrestleMania.
00:56:50You're gonna have to go.
00:56:52Until then.
00:56:54One more kiss.
00:56:58One more.
00:57:02One more.
00:57:04I hope you win at WrestleMania.
00:57:06Thank you.
00:57:28Vicky,
00:57:40Vicky,
00:57:42you got some
00:57:44splaining to do.
00:57:58Don't be in the face.
00:58:28Yeah!
00:58:30Yeah!
00:58:32Yeah!
00:58:34Yeah!
00:58:36Yeah!
00:58:38Yeah!
00:58:40Yeah!
00:58:42Yeah!
00:58:44Yeah!
00:58:46Yeah!
00:58:48Yeah!
00:58:50Yeah!
00:58:52Yeah!
00:58:54Yeah!
00:58:56Yeah!
00:58:58Yeah!
00:59:00Yeah!
00:59:02Yeah!
00:59:04Yeah!
00:59:06Yeah!
00:59:08Yeah!
00:59:10Yeah!
00:59:12Yeah!
00:59:14Yeah!
00:59:16Yeah!
00:59:18Yeah!
00:59:20Yeah!
00:59:22Yeah!
00:59:24I brought you on this show tonight
00:59:26to show all of the superstars in the back
00:59:28what can happen to them if they're not careful.
00:59:31Because if they're not careful,
00:59:33they're gonna end up like you.
00:59:35A pathetic
00:59:37disgrace.
00:59:39You wanna relive your past?
00:59:41The old day?
00:59:46Just take it easy.
00:59:48You've made your point.
00:59:55Yeah!
00:59:59Let's relive the past
01:00:01just like the old days.
01:00:03Come on.
01:00:05Come on, huh?
01:00:07Come on, legend.
01:00:09Come on, legend.
01:00:11Come on.
01:00:13What about this?
01:00:15Yeah!
01:00:17Yeah!
01:00:19Yeah!
01:00:24This next match is set for one fall, where the winner will qualify for the Money in the Bank ladder match at the 25th anniversary of WrestleMania!
01:00:54Chris Jericho!
01:00:57Now despite his actions of last week and prior weeks, Chris Jericho actually has an opportunity to qualify for WrestleMania tonight.
01:01:05Five of eight men have already qualified for the Money in the Bank ladder match at the 25th anniversary of WrestleMania.
01:01:13And here are the superstars who qualified. From RAW, CM Punk, last year's winner.
01:01:18And Kane, Mark Henry from ECW, MVP, and Shelton Benjamin from SmackDown.
01:01:25I'm gonna tell you something, I'm so disappointed in this young man right here, it's hard for me to even talk about him.
01:01:30I mean, what Chris Jericho used to do, despite his actions in the past few weeks, you can't not think about his actions in the past few weeks.
01:01:42And from Jamaica, weighing in at 280 pounds, Kofi Kingston!
01:01:49And what King is alluding to is Chris Jericho's attacks on the legends of this industry.
01:01:55Ric Flair and Jimmy Stucka and Roddy Piper and Ricky the Dragon Steamboat.
01:02:01From the words he's used, King, to describe these legends, he's called them sick in the head and occupied by their own egos and pathetic and disgraceful.
01:02:12Wow.
01:02:15You know, I think what, quite frankly, what Jericho thinks is that all of these guys you mentioned, Flair, Piper, Steamboat, Stucka,
01:02:23are all, you know, living out or playing the part of Mickey Rourke or Randy the Ram in the movie The Wrestler.
01:02:30That is certainly not the case. I mean, his disrespect for the superstars that came before him, to me, is just absolutely disgusting.
01:02:38With that being said, let's turn our attention to the match at hand.
01:02:40The winner of this match will qualify for the Money in the Bank ladder match at WrestleMania.
01:02:44We know how important that match is.
01:02:47There's the athletic ability of Kofi Kingston.
01:02:50Look at him.
01:02:51We know that if Chris Jericho loses that match, gets that contract for that championship match at any time,
01:02:58he'll pick the most inopportune time for the champion to cash it in.
01:03:03And there you see the briefcase hanging high.
01:03:07As it will be at WrestleMania.
01:03:10And here's Chris Jericho into the cover. Will he qualify in a kickout?
01:03:14Chris Jericho is in control. Which one of these men will qualify for WrestleMania?
01:03:18We'll find out when Raw continues.
01:03:22We are back live on Monday Night Raw.
01:03:24This is a qualifying match for the Money in the Bank ladder match at WrestleMania.
01:03:28Chris Jericho in control of Kofi Kingston.
01:03:31And right here tonight we have the briefcase high above the ring just to symbolize
01:03:35what it's going to be like at WrestleMania and that Money in the Bank.
01:03:38Inside that briefcase at WrestleMania will be a contract.
01:03:41And the man that scales the ladder and claims that briefcase
01:03:45will get to cash that contract in any time during the year.
01:03:48Look what happened here.
01:03:49Well, if Chris Jericho keeps doing this, it may well be him.
01:03:52Right. They can cash that contract in any time.
01:03:55They've got a year to do it.
01:03:57At the most inopportune time for the champion,
01:03:59cash it in for a championship match.
01:04:01So again, that match at WrestleMania, there are no pinfalls, no submissions.
01:04:04You climb the ladder, you grab that briefcase, you win Money in the Bank.
01:04:07Every single person who has cashed in Money in the Bank has become champion.
01:04:14Kofi Kingston.
01:04:18Nice cross body. Jericho rolls through, hooks the leg.
01:04:21Does he have it? And a kickout by Kingston.
01:04:23So close for the veteran, Chris Jericho.
01:04:25Well, we've witnessed those Money in the Bank ladder matches.
01:04:27With that ladder in the ring, this may be one of the most
01:04:30defined matches that I've ever seen at WrestleMania.
01:04:32Look at Kofi Kingston gaining the momentum now.
01:04:38Jericho. And Chris Jericho trying to turn Kofi over on his belly.
01:04:44This will be a submission maneuver if Jericho can lock it in.
01:04:47Kofi Kingston using the great leg strength.
01:04:50Man, a great counter there. Great move by...
01:04:54Jericho with the instagiri.
01:04:56Shoots the hand, hooks the leg, may have him here.
01:04:58And Kingston at two. Another near fall for Chris Jericho.
01:05:06Jericho thought that he had a little bit of a slow count there,
01:05:09but actually it's just Kofi Kingston showing Jericho what he's made of.
01:05:15Chris Jericho believes he is closing in on a victory.
01:05:23Lion's Salt missed.
01:05:25And Kofi Kingston in his controlled frenzy looking to capitalize.
01:05:33Kingston so electrifying.
01:05:35And Kofi Kingston hoping to realize a dream and go to WrestleMania.
01:05:40Hoping to realize a dream and go to WrestleMania.
01:05:43Will it happen now for Jericho?
01:05:50Kofi Kingston, Chris Jericho wanting to join the other participants,
01:05:54CM Punk, Kane, MVP, Mark Henry, Shelton Benjamin.
01:05:59Jericho, he blocked, blocked the kick.
01:06:02And now the walls of Jericho locked in.
01:06:05Chris Jericho with Kingston in the middle of the ring.
01:06:08A submission maneuver.
01:06:10If Kingston taps out, Jericho's going to WrestleMania.
01:06:16Kingston trying, reaching with everything.
01:06:19The only hope for Kingston is to try to get him into that bottom rope.
01:06:23And now look at Jericho moving Kingston back to the center of the ring
01:06:26and apply even more pressure.
01:06:27And the hold may have been...
01:06:29What? What's this?
01:06:39Nature.
01:06:40Nature Boy, Ric Flair.
01:06:47At the center of Jericho's tirade in his campaign against the legends.
01:06:56Jericho actually seen at the time.
01:06:59And Kingston capitalized.
01:07:01Jericho never saw it coming.
01:07:03Kofi Kingston is going to WrestleMania.
01:07:06And Jericho is out.
01:07:10Kofi Kingston qualifies for Money in the Bank.
01:07:14And King Ric Flair has hit Chris Jericho where it hurts most.
01:07:21Ric Flair has cost Chris Jericho a trip to Houston
01:07:25on April 5th and the 25th anniversary of WrestleMania.
01:07:32Well, not taking anything away from Kofi Kingston
01:07:34because that's a great victory no matter how you win it.
01:07:37You're going to WrestleMania, young man.
01:07:39But yeah, Ric Flair was the distraction.
01:07:47That's right.
01:07:49Kofi Kingston is heading to WrestleMania.
01:07:52And you're not.
01:07:54Ladies and gentlemen, six men have now qualified.
01:07:56Here's the updated brackets.
01:07:58And we understand that tomorrow night on ECW
01:08:01there'll be another qualifying match.
01:08:02A huge battle royal on SyFy.
01:08:04And then Friday night on SmackDown,
01:08:06the final qualifying match
01:08:09for the Money in the Bank ladder match at WrestleMania.
01:08:16Chris Jericho is stunned.
01:08:18Well, that's great.
01:08:19You know, winning that Money in the Bank match at WrestleMania
01:08:21is almost like winning the title itself
01:08:23because you can cast that in as the most inopportune win.
01:08:26The champ is most vulnerable.
01:08:27They can do it right there at WrestleMania even.
01:08:29Well, they could do it against either Triple H or Randy Orton.
01:08:31Because Triple H is going to defend the WWE title
01:08:34against Randy Orton at WrestleMania.
01:08:36Well, ladies and gentlemen, Randy Orton is with us
01:08:38live via satellite from his home in St. Louis, Missouri tonight.
01:08:41Again, Randy, thank you for giving us some time to visit with you.
01:08:45The question is, why aren't you here?
01:08:47Is it because Triple H is a rival?
01:08:49Are you implying that I'm hiding from Triple H?
01:08:51That I'm afraid of being in Jacksonville?
01:08:54Because it's the other way around.
01:08:55I'm afraid of what I might do to Triple H if I were there.
01:09:02Why would I tempt myself, Cole?
01:09:05I'd like to say that I take apart Triple H little by little.
01:09:09But I'm not always in control of my actions.
01:09:13Now, am I?
01:09:16Like I said before, I am showing restraint.
01:09:20That is the only reason why I am not there tonight.
01:09:26Well, Randy, I'm sure you will enjoy tonight's main event.
01:09:28Your WrestleMania opponent, Triple H, is in action.
01:09:31Oh, I will.
01:09:33I assure you, I will.
01:09:42We will as well.
01:09:43Still to come, the Game takes on both Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase
01:09:48in a two-in-one handicap match.

01:10:14Chris, obviously, I'm sure you're pretty disappointed in the outcome of your match.
01:10:20Disappointed?
01:10:22Ric Flair took away my WrestleMania moment, Grisham,
01:10:25because I would have won the Money in the Bank match
01:10:28and subsequently went on to reclaim my World Heavyweight Championship.
01:10:33But I want my WrestleMania moment next week.
01:10:37Flair, I dare you to come out of retirement
01:10:42and face me next week on Raw.
01:10:47I know you've been waiting for that invitation ever since WrestleMania last year
01:10:51and here's your chance to relive your glory days.
01:10:55Come out of retirement.
01:10:57Step into the spotlight for one more time, Flair.
01:11:00Bask in the cheers and the adulation of all these hypocrites and parasites one last time.
01:11:10So come back next week, Flair.
01:11:12Enjoy your moment.
01:11:14Blast.
01:11:16Bask.
01:11:18Enjoy yourself for one last time, because mark my words,
01:11:23just like Mickey Rourke's character's story in The Wrestler,
01:11:27the story of Ric Flair will end forever next week on Raw.
01:11:38Man, I gotta tell you, I hope that Ric Flair takes him up on his offer.
01:11:42I'd love to see Flair kick Jericho's butt right here next week.
01:11:45Ladies and gentlemen, Ric Flair, of course, a member of the 2008 class of the WWE Hall of Fame.
01:11:50Already this year, we've inducted five men, or will induct five men, into the class of 2009.
01:11:55Ricky Steves, the Punks, Bill Watson, of course, Stone Cold Steve Austin.
01:11:59Who is the next inductee into the class of 2009?
01:12:03We'll find out right now.
01:12:06The WWE 2009 Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is presented by Legends of WrestleMania, the video game.
01:12:18In stores March 24th.
01:12:23Let's get past it in crowd. All of them doing the bird.
01:12:27I'll give him credit. This guy does electrify a crowd when he comes out.
01:12:32The fun-loving bird man, Coco Beware,
01:12:35flapping his arms and carrying his pet macaw, Frankie,
01:12:38truly transformed the WWE.
01:12:47Bright outfits, colorful sunglasses, a constant smile,
01:12:51and his trademark vibrato voice instantly made Coco a big hit with fans of all ages.
01:12:58Pound for pound, this man can literally fly all over the place.
01:13:04And Frankie doing a little bit of that right now.
01:13:08Coco's not the biggest man in the world, but he certainly makes up for it with his speed.
01:13:13Coco's unique personality made him immensely popular.
01:13:17Everyone wanted a piece of the bird man.
01:13:20His single was a huge part of the success of the WWE album, Piledriver.
01:13:27Sometimes love feels just right.
01:13:31It feels so real.
01:13:33It feels, it feels,
01:13:35loud, loud, loud,
01:13:37Piledriver.
01:13:41Piledriver.
01:13:44An esteemed in-ring performer and entertainer, Coco Beware,
01:13:48along with his feathered friend Frankie, were true trailblazers.
01:13:52World Wrestling Entertainment is proud to induct the Birdman Coco Beware
01:13:57into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2009.
01:14:04Wow, congratulations to my good friend Coco Beware,

01:17:30Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
01:17:32I want to take a look at the look on Christian's face.

01:18:17And a kick-out by Christian.
01:18:19I told Miz he was a regular Don Juan.
01:18:21I told Don Juan I didn't have anything to do with Miz.
01:18:23Oh, man!
01:18:25Hear that? Hear it?
01:18:26How does he do that?
01:18:30It reminds me of probably where
01:18:32It reminds me of probably where

01:24:48He let everyone in that arena down.
01:24:50He let everyone watching at home down.
01:24:53And most importantly,
01:24:54he let me down.
01:24:56Triple H, I gave you too much credit.
01:24:58You're not the competitor
01:25:00that I thought you were.
01:25:01You're not even the man
01:25:02that I thought you were.
01:25:04And I'll have you know,
01:25:05I am taking this personally.
01:25:07You not showing up tonight
01:25:08means you probably won't show up
01:25:10to WrestleMania
01:25:11and then I won't have a chance
01:25:12to beat you for that championship.
01:25:16And if you don't show up
01:25:17at WrestleMania,
01:25:19Triple H,
01:25:20I will have no choice
01:25:21than to send you to the hospital
01:25:23with the rest of your family.
01:25:26Go get it.
01:25:27You'll figure it out.
01:25:28You'll figure it out.
01:25:29You'll give me an opponent.
01:25:30Put me in a battle royal.
01:25:31Somehow, you'll do it.
01:25:33You'll award me the title.
01:25:35Wait, stop.
01:25:36Samantha, don't get the door.
01:25:38Go get it.
