This is my take on how I would like the WWE to go after Wrestlemania XXV, and my ideal card for 'Mania too. All the rosters remain the same however rivalries will differ. I will write the RAW and Smackdown shows however not ECW. Hope you enjoy.
Backstory
It is the night after WrestleMania XXV, a show that left more questions that answers.
After ECW was disbanded at No Way Out, the Board of Directors announced that 6 of ECW's top extremist would compete in the annual Money In The Bank Ladder Match. The winner this year would not only recieve a World Title match in the next year, however he would also earn a contract with either RAW or Smackdown. The remaining five would be fired. In a brutal and emotional match, Matt Hardy remained victorious after his brother Jeff intervened, knocking Christian off the ladder and fending off opponents while Matt clinched the breifcase.
The second match up saw the World Tag Team Champions defend their gold against CM Punk and Kofi Kingston. After the Board of Directors saved ECW extremists Miz and Morrison from losing their jobs as a result of the disbanding of ECW (by signing them to RAW contracts the week before WM25), the champs were forced to defend the straps of WrestleMania. It looked as if new champions would be crowned, however in a shocking move, Punk nailed his partner Kofi with the GTS and then left the ring. A puzzled Miz covered Kingston for the victory.
After it was announced that Ricky Steamboat was to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, a brash Shawn Michaels voiced his displeasure. He claimed he was far more deserving of the honour. The led to an irate Ric Flair, good friend of 'The Dragon', to challenge HBK to a WrestleMania rematch in Houston. HBK declined, saying he was done wrestling washed up has beens like Flair. A week later HBK wrestled Randy Orton for the WWE Title, but was distracted by none other than Steamboat himself, costing Michaels the match. A furious HBK challenged Steamboat to a match at WrestleMania, claiming he would take the Hall of Famer 'to school'. Steamboat more than held his own at 'Mania, however the Showstopper proved too much nailing 'The Dragon' with Sweet Chin Music to end a classic bout.
In an Interpromotional 6 Pack Challenge for the Intercontinental Title, champion Rey Mysterio relinquished the title to Smackdown's MVP. An irate US Champ Shelton Benjamen, who was upset at being left of the card in place of an IC title bout threatened to ruin the contest through interference. He was however put in his place by a Samoan Spike from Umaga and Swantom Bomb from Jeff Hardy.
After months of tormenting well respected WWE superstars such as Shawn Michaels and Kane, Chris Jericho finally earned the attention of the Deadman. The Undertaker's patience finally wore thin after seeing Y2J put his brother Kane on the shelf in a brutal Ambulance Match at the Royal Rumble. He challenged Jericho to a match at No Way Out. However Jericho failed to show up, instead sending out ally Lance Cade who was quickly dispatched. Y2J claimed he would only face the Undertaker at WrestleMania XXV, where he would end the streak. This was not the case however, as the Undertaker silenced Jericho with a Tombstone Piledriver to go 17-0.
In the first of too World Title Matches, World Heavyweight Champion defended the gold against Triple H. HHH had taken offence at Edge's apparent special treatment on Smackdown as a result of his relationship with Smackdown GM Vickie Guerrero. The champion fought valiantly however he succumbed to the Pedigree beginning another reign for the Game as World Champion.
In the Main Event Royal Rumble winner John Cena faced off against WWE Champion Randy Orton. In recent months RAW had been in chaos due to the absence of the McMahons and a General Manager. In the chaos Legacy, led by Orton, won a power struggle with other top RAW superstars and claimed absolute authority. Cena aimed to take the WWE Title from Orton and reverse the balance of power on RAW. However, due to interference by Rhodes and DiBiase, Orton managed to steal a win, leaving Legacy standing tall as WrestleMania XXV came to an end.
Vince McMahon also returned to the WWE at WrestleMania to announce a new General Manager for Monday Night RAW......Jim Ross! This was certainly a surprise to JR and it was clear he knew nothing about his appiontment as RAWs GM!

It is the night after WrestleMania XXV and the fallout is huge! Matt Hardy won the ECW Winner Takes All Money In The Bank Ladder with help from his brother Jeff. The win earns Hardy a World Title shot over the next 12 months and a contract with the brand of Matt's choosing. For the 5 who lost, they are out of a job! Tonight Matt chooses the brand he will join.
A new RAW General Manager was introduced last night, none other than Good Old JR! From his reaction to the news, it was clear that JR was none the wiser to his appointed by WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon. What will his reaction be? What will his first act as RAW GM be?
Last night HBK defeated WWE Hall of Famer Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat in a classic encounter. Will he was defeated, Steamboat clearly earned the respect of HBK. What is next in the story of Shawn Micheals?
Legacy secured their dominance on Monday Night RAW with a comprehensive beating of John Cena last night, as Randy Orton retained the WWE Championship. Is this the last we have seen in the Cena-Orton war? What will Legacy's reaction to the appointment of Jim Ross as RAW General Manager?
Rey Mysterio relinquished his Intercontinental Championship last night to Smackdown Superstar Montel Vontavious Porter. Now the RAW Championship is in the hands of a Smackdown Superstar, what is next in the long story of the Intercontinental Championship?
Certainly WrestleMania XXV presented us with more questions than answers. Tune into RAW tonight to find out what happens!
JR: Good evening folks, and welcome to a new edition of Monday Night RAW. I’m Good Old JR with my broadcast partner Jerry 'The King' Lawler, and WrestleMania XXV certainly provided its fair share of surprises.
King: You're right JR. And perhaps the most shocking revelation of all was the announcement of RAW's new GM. Well.....he's...YOU!
JR: I smell a rat King. None of this adds up. Me and the boss have never gotten along particularly well and this just seems like another ploy by our chairman.
King: Lighten up JR! You're the most powerful man on RAW! You can do whatever you like.
JR: I suppose King, but I'd rather just sit here and call a wrestling match.
*HBK's Music Hits*
HBK makes his way to the ring, not looking like his usual self.
HBK: As you know, I won last night at WrestleMania, and there is no doubt the match stole the show. It was a great moment. I wrestled a great man. However, the victory was rather bittersweet. You see, I went into that match knowing something. A secret I kept from you, my peers, hell even my wife. I went into my match with Steamboat knowing that after it had finished, I had one more 'Mania match left.
JR: What does he mean?
HBK: WrestleMania XXVI will be the last time you will see HBK compete in a wrestling match. After next year’s WrestleMania I will officially retire, and like my good friend Ric Flair I will not be making a comeback. I've tried to stay young, tried to relive my glory days. Each year I try and create one more defining WrestleMania moment, one that will live forever. And its taken its tool. I'm beat up, and I'm hurting. I've only got one more year left.
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--> King: Well this is a shock!
HBK: But don't cry too much folks, cos knowing the Heartbreak Kid I'm gonna make this last year the greatest ride of my entire life. I'm gonna raise the bar and I'm gonna show the whole world why I am MR.WRESTLEMANIA!
*HBK's Music Hits*
HBK leaves the ring.
JR: Good lord, what a shock! Next WrestleMania will be the last we will see of the Heartbreak Kid!
King: Well you're the new boss! Stop him!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Jericho vs Jeff Hardy
Both men lock up in the centre of the ring. Jericho pushed Hardy into the turnbuckle. The referee breaks them up, Jericho backs up however follows up with a kick to the mid section. Jericho unloads some stiff right hands to Hardy in the corner, allowing the ref to utilise his 5 count before relenting. Jericho whips Hardy into the opposite corner, and charges but.......a stiff kick to Jericho from Hardy.......spinning neckbreaker from Hardy...1.....2.....kickout from Jericho. Hardy picks up Jericho and delivers a couple of punches. he whips Jericho into the ropes, Jericho rebounds. Hardy goes for a clothesline......but Jericho ducks. He rebounds again but......Hardy connects this time with a stiff clothesline. Hardy drops the leg....1.....kickout. Both men are on their feet exchanging punches, and Jericho hits a thumb to the eye! A beautiful European Uppercut from Jericho sending Hardy to the mat. Jericho stomps on Hardy shouting abuse. Hardy slowly gets to his feet, Jericho springs off the ropes and.......facebuster connects. Jericho goes for the Lionsault.......AND CONNECTS.......1........2..........3.NOOOOOOOOO! A kickout from Hardy. Jericho looks frustrated! Jericho springs off the ropes looking for a clothesline, Hardy counters with an arm drag.....right into the referee!! He is out cold. Jericho hits a low blow to Hardy. He's off outside, what is he looking for?.......a steel chair from under the ring!..................wait its Matt Hardy! A Twist of Fate to Jericho!............he wills Jeff to cover Jericho. The ref crawls toward to the pin.....1..................................2...... .........................3!
Winner: Jeff Hardy
The Hardy Boys celebrate, and Matt grabs a mic.
Matt Hardy: Just in case you were wondering where Matt Hardy is heading. You best check out every Monday Night to find out!
JR: That's it! Hardy chooses RAW! Both Hardy Boys are now on RAW!
King: That's all well and good, but I doubt we've heard the last of Y2J after this little incident!
Mr.McMahon: As you all know, RAW has been without a General Manager for some time, and coupled with the absence of myself RAW has become somewhat unruly. Well, that ends tonight because we have a new GM and his name is JIM ROSS!
JR makes his way into the ring.
Mr.McMahon: Now then JR, I know you have no experience of this kind of thing but I'm a great beliver of learning on the job. So, I'm handing the reigns of my flagship show over to you.......and do not mess it up!
Mr.McMahon leaves the ring.
JR: Well....I.....I'm not really sure that to do so I guess I'll act on my instincts. I know for the fact I have the power to deliver a match that you deserve. I also know of a young man who wants revenge for what happened last night and that man is Kofi Kingston. Well he'll get that revenge. He will face the man who betrayed him last night...CM Punk!
Kofi Kingston makes his way into the ring and waits for the arrival of his former partner. Where is Punk?........wait a minute! Punk's come through the crowd and Kofi has no idea! Good God! Punk lays out Kingston with a vicious shot with a lead pipe. And now he stomps on his head! Such disrespect! What is the reason for this! He picks up Kofi onto his shoulders and.......the GTS! Kofi is unconcious!
Winner: No Contest
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]-->
<!--[endif]-->JR: Well I hope Punk is satisfied! Once again he blindsides Kingston and gets away with it!
King: Well what will you do about it JR!
JR: Well I don't know yet but I'm gonna make sure that young man gets his revenge!
Styles: John, last night you came up short against Randy Orton but tonight you can get some revenge when you face Cody Rhodes one on one.
Cena: Well tonight Joey I'm going to do everything I want to do to Orton on Rhodes. I was straight up screwed out of the title last night by "Priceless". Well after tonight you might as well rename them "Expensive" cos Cody is going to have a pretty expensive hospital bill when I've finished with him....
Rey Mysterio turns up.
Rey: I hear you're facing Cody Rhodes tonight. Well you see, I seem to be facing the other member of priceless, Ted DiBiase. This got me thinking. How about we set up a little bet John?
Cena: Go on...
Rey: Well lets see who can win in the faster time, or who in fact can win at all. And you see I've got a rematch clause for the Intercontinental Title which I could put on the line, and you've got a WWE Title rematch clause. Why don't we put both on the line. The winner gets a chance to reclaim the IC Title for RAW and become the next WWE Champ.........
Cena: ..................you're on!............................I think you're match is next.
Lets see what time Rey sets against DiBiase. The bell rings and Rey charges at Ted, obviously wanting to get on with the match. Rey delivers rights and lefts followed by stiff kicks to the mid section. DiBiase catches a kick.....inziguri by Mysterio! Rey bounces off the ropes and delivers a dropkick to the knee. Rey stomps on the back of DiBiase's head. Mysterio backs Ted into the corner and prepares a run......Rey charges........and runs into a boot in the face! DiBiase covers...1......2.......kickout! Ted picks up Rey......and hits a beautiful suplex, Rey clutches his back. DiBiase backs into the ropes and drops a knee to the face of Mysterio. Cover!.....1.....2.......kickout again by Mysterio! Ted picks up Mysterio but Rey counters with punches to the gut.......Jawbreaker. DiBiase falls into the ropes, Rey signals for ther 619...............misses! DiBiase moves out of the way! Roll Up! 1....2.......3!!!!!!!! Its over!
Winner: Ted DiBiase (Timed 6: 23)
DiBiase celebrates as Rey looks confused.
JR: Well that puts a spanner in the works! All Cena has to do now to win the bet is outlast Cody Rhodes for 6 minutes and 23 seconds!
Y2J: Ross I hope you're listening carefully. If you do not give me a match with Matt Hardy next week I will proceed to make your life a misery. No one embarrasses Chris Jericho like that do you understand me? NO ONE!
The match kicks off and the two opponents locking up. Rhodes delivers knees to Cena's gut. He proceeds to pound Cena's back until he is on the mat. Cody follows that up with stomps to the back of the head. Rhodes rebounds of the rope and attempts a leg drop........Cena rolls out of the way! Cena charges at Cody.....clothesline!........and another!..........and another! Cena is building up momentum quickly! Right hands from Cena. He Irish Whips Rhodes against the rope.......back body drop! Cover......1......2.......kickout! John still has 3 minutes to last! Cena has not won Rey's bet yet! Cena lifts up Cody..............suplex! Cody looks to be in pain! Cena is going up top.........Cody slowly gets to his feet...........and pushes the ref into the ropes. Cena is hung up on the turnbuckle! Rhodes nails Cena with some right hands and ascends the turnbuckle................I think he's looking for a superplex..............NO! Cena pushes Cody down to the canvas below! What does he have in store? An elbow drop!?!?! Cover!.......1...........2........................ .........Kickout!!!!!! No way!!!!! Cena struggles to his feet......wait he's been distracted. It's Rey Mysterio at the top of the ramp.....look at the clock, there’s 5 seconds left!..............A ROLL UP! 1...............2.......................3!!!!! Rhodes has beaten Cena!!!!!!! What’s the time!!!!!......................................... .......6 minutes and 23 seconds!!!! They have tied!
Winner: Cody Rhodes
JR: I don't believe it, it's a tie!
King: I'm not sure, but I guess it's down to you to sort it out!
Rey smiles at Cena who is expressionless.
JR: I expected it to be a case of who won the quickest, not who lost the quickest!
Cody Rhodes has remained in the ring, and has been joined by Ted DiBiase.
*Orton's Music Hits*
Randy Orton slowly makes his way to the ring.
Orton: I'm not going to make a big deal of my victory last night. You aren't going to see any confetti or hear any music. I'm simply going to explain the magnitude of what I have achieved. By defeating John Cena last night, I have become not only the most powerful force on RAW, but the most powerful force in the WWE!
JR: Now what one second!
JR gets a mic and enters the ring. Orton looks annoyed.
JR: I think you'll find the boss around here is me. You Orton dance to my tune, not the other way around! Now I wasn't sure this whole General Manager thing was for me but now I've seen you run your I'm glad I'm in a position to shut you up. I think it's time to tell you a few home truths Randy Orton. If it wasn't for your cronies DiBiase and Rhodes here, you wouldn't have achieved a fraction of the success that you have with them to have your back. No you tell us that you three are tight, but I think these fans here want to find out just how tight you really are. And they will, at Backlash. The WWE Championship will be on the line in a triple threat match. It will be Randy Orton defending against......................Ted DiBiase...............& Cody Rhodes!
King; Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!!!!!!!!!!
Legacy look confused and argue between each other as RAW goes off the air.<o></o>
Smackdown has a new World Heavyweight Champion, and his name is Triple H. Despite supposidly receiving special treatment from General Manager, and lover, Vickie Guerrero, Edge was unable to keep the gold Sunday night at WrestleMania XXV, falling victim to the Pedigree. What will be the reaction of the former champ? And more important what will be the reaction of the GM?
Smackdown Superstar Montel Vontavious Porter walked away from WrestleMania XXV with RAW's Intercontinental Championship after a gruelling Interpromotional 6 Pack Challenge. This was despite the interference of United States Champion Shelton Benjamen, who was upset at being left off the card. Will there be any backlash from RAW after losing their championship?
The Undertaker extended his undefeated streak at WrestleMania to 17-0 with victory over the cocky Chris Jericho. Who will Undertaker target next? He is in action tonight!
Also tonight the WWE Tag Team Championships are on the line as the champs Carlito and Primo defend against the two Smackdown Superstars who fell short in their quest to win the Intercontinental Championship...Umaga and Big Show!
Tune in to Smackdown this Friday!

WWE Friday Night
Smackdown!
Friday 10th April, 2009
San Diego, California
OPENING PYRO; INTRODUCTION
Cole: Hello and welcome to Friday Night Smackdown! I'm Michael Cole along with my broadcast partner Tazz. Tonight we will see the fallout from the spectacular WrestleMania XXV.
Tazz: What a show it was, Cole. We saw absolutely everything, including a new WWE Champion.
Cole: And he will be in action tonight against an opponent of Vickie Guerrero's choice. Also tonight we see WWE Tag Team Champions The Colons defend the gold! But first up, US Champion Shelton Benjamen faces R-Truth in a non-title match up.
Both men lock up in the centre of the ring. Benjamen swivels round R-Truth into a reverse Bearhug. R-Truth slivers away, and grabs Benjamen's arm. R-Truth has a standing armbar locked in, and Benjamen grimaces in pain. A few stiff elbows from Shelton allow him to escape. Benjamen rebounds off the ropes............but is knocked down by a shoulder block. This time R-Truth rebounds off the ropes.......power slam from Benjamen........1...........2............shoulder up!
Benjamen stomps on R-Truth then riles the crowd. Benjamen drops a knee to the face of R-Truth, and applies an armbar. He has it locked in and R-Truth is in a ton of pain! The crowd are getting behind R-Truth, who reaches for the ropes but is too far away. He's going to have to find another way out. Look at the intensity of Shelton's face! R-Truth struggles to his knees and again reaches in vain for the ropes. Both men are at their feet with Benjamen still applying the armbar............an elbow to the gut from R-Truth as he tries to escape........and another........R-Truth rebounds of the ropes........right into a spinning wheel kick from Benjamen!
Looks like Benjamen's going up top. R-Truth slowly makes his way to his feet, holding his face. A flying clothesline from Benjamen.............countered into a DDT from R-Truth! What a brilliant counter!............1.............2............ kickout!!! R-Truth picks up Benjamen. Kick to the gut........he goes for the scissors kick.........Benjamen moves out of the way...............T-Bone Suplex!!!!!! 1.................2.......................kickout! ! How did R-Truth kick out of that? Looks like Shelton's setting up R-Truth for another...............he hits it!........1...................2.................. ........3!!!!! This one is over! An impressive victory for Shelton Benjamen!
Winner: Shelton Benjamen
Cole: R-Truth survived one T-Bone Suplex, but two were just too much!
Benjamen grabs a mic.
Benjamen: Now as you all know, a great travesty occured at WrestleMania. Yours truly, the Gold Standard, was left off the card. And when I tried to take the initiative, and create my own WrestleMania moment, I was assaulted! Now I will not let this stand. I will make an impact here on Smackdown whether you people like it or not. And I am focusing my attention on the Intercontinental Champion MVP. I know that he is scheduled to face either John Cena or Rey Mysterio but I am throwing my hat into the ring. I am challenging whoever the Intercontinental Champion will be to a match at Backlash, and because I am a generous man, I'll put my US Title on the line and make it a unification match!
Benjamen leaves the ring.
Cole: Wow what a blockbuster. I can't wait to see that happen!
Tazz: I dunno Cole, what if a RAW superstar wins the IC Title? He could go to Backlash and take our US Title.
Cole: I think you need to put a little faith in our superstars partner!
Vickie Guerrero appears over the titantron.<o></o>
<o></o>
Vickie: I have two announcements to make. First of all, tonight my husband will host a very special edition of the Cutting Edge, on which I will announce the No#1 Contender for Triple H’s WWE Championship at our next PPV, Backlash. And speaking of Triple H, my second announcement is that Triple H’s opponent, in a match that indecently takes place next, will be......................Kane!<o></o>
Kane immediately goes for a clothesline, which Triple H ducks. HHH nails Kane with a few right hands, who backs into the corner. HHH continues delivering right hands, utilising the referee’s 5 count. Triple H backs off, but the ref turns his back and HHH kicks Kane in the gut. Kane stumbles out of the corner. HHH irish whips him into the ropes, Kane ducks a clothesline....................but HHH connects with a high knee. A quick cover from Hunter but only manages a 1 count.<o></o>
<o></o>
Kane rolls to the outside to try and catch a quick breather. HHH follows and smashes his forearm into Kane’s back. Kane backs up against the barricade, HHH follows up with a few right hands. The ref’s count is up to 4. HHH attempts to whip Kane into the ring post..................Kane reverses!............HHH goes face first into the ring post! That has surely switched the momentum of the match. Kane rolls back into the ring. The ref’s count is at 6...............7............HHH crawls towards the ring.......8...................9.................. ......HHH just manages to roll back into the ring.<o></o>
<o></o>
HHH struggles to his feet, and Kane signals for the chokeslam. He grabs Hunter by the throat and tries to lift him. HHH counters with a kick to the gut............HHH sets Kane up for the Pedigree.......................Kane hits a back body drop! HHH writhes on the floor. Kane pucks up HHH and tries to whip into the ropes.........Hunter counters.............Kane rebounds off the ropes.............Spinebuster! HHH signals for the Pedigree..........................he sets Kane up.....................and hits it! HHH goes for the cover............1......................2......... ................3!!!!<o></o>
Cole: A very special, but unannounced appearance by our chairman Mr.McMahon.<o></o>
McMahon: Hello, how is everyone?! Well I’ve come to Smackdown because I have a massive announcement concerning this Monday’s edition of RAW. This Monday every single superstar from RAW and Smackdown will gather for the 2009 edition of the WWE Draft!<o></o>
Cole: Wow!<o></o>
<o></o>
McMahon: Each brand gets 4 picks completely at random. No one will be safe, that means that superstars, referees, announcers, hell even the cameramen could be drafted this Monday! And to spice things up I thought I would announce a couple of matches for this Monday night. There was a lot of confusion surrounding John Cena and Rey Mysterio’s challenge this Monday. Seeing as both men are tied, neither will receive a shot at the Intercontinental Championship. However, both men will get their World Title matches. John Cena will get his rematch with Randy Orton, and this match will be contested under Extreme Rules!<o></o>
<o></o>
Tazz: What a match Cole!<o></o>
McMahon: Likewise, Rey Mysterio will battle Triple H for the WWE Championship this Monday, and that will be a Table Match!<o></o>
Cole: This Monday night on RAW we will see two World Title matches.<o></o>
<o></o>
Tazz: This is huge Cole, you can always rely on Mr.McMahon to deliver huge announcements.<o></o>
Todd: I’m here backstage with Smackdown’s new WWE Intercontinental Championship, MVP. Montel, you beat 5 other superstars Sunday Night at WrestleMania to become, but the trials and tribulations have not ended. You have US Champ Shelton Benjamen calling you at Backlash, although the potential threat of John Cena and Rey Mysterio has just been eliminated by Mr.McMahon.<o></o> <o></o>
MVP: Well that’s what happens when you’re the champ. This belt might as well be a target. But I am a fighting champion, and I will face all comers. As we’ve just found out this Monday we have a draft so I will be at RAW. And if anyone has any beef with me, then they better let it be known then. You want a shot at me? Then do something about it!<o></o>
<o></o>
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<o></o> WWE Tag Team Championship<o></o>
The Colons (C) vs Big Show and Umaga<o></o>
The match kicks off with Carlito and Big Show. Big Show immediately asserts his dominance by hurling Carlito across the ring. Carlito gets to his feet and charges at Big Show, who stands his ground and Carlito is knocked to the ground. Big Show picks up Carlito and drives him into the turnbuckle. He drives his shoulder into the gut of Carlito. Where is Umaga going?<o></o>
Umaga has left the apron and has made his way toward Primo, who looks wary. Umaga charges at Primo and flings him off the apron. He whips Primo into the stairs! He picks of Primo and.....................Samoan Spike! Primo is unconscious! Back in the ring Big Show picks of Carlito..............he wraps his hand around the throat of Carlito.....................chokeslam! He tags in Umaga............he is scaling the turnbuckle.........................and delivers a splash! Cover.............1..............................2 ...................................3! We have new Tag Team Champions!<o></o>
Winners and new tag team champions: Big Show and Umaga<o></o>
<o></o>
Cole: Oh my god, The Colons have been destroyed, and we have new Tag Team Champions!<o></o>
Tazz: That has to be one of the most dominating victories I have ever seen!<o></o>
<o></o> Cole: I have agree! Well tonight we still have a huge match to look forward as Undertaker battles the loudmouth Mr. Kennedy! That match is next!<o></o>
Both men lock up to start the match. Kennedy backs Undertaker against the ropes, and throws a couple of right hands. Undertaker returns fire, staggering Kennedy. Undertaker rallies with some more big right hands. He whips Kennedy into the turnbuckle. ‘Taker charges at Kennedy and nails him with a huge clothesline into the turnbuckle! Kennedy stumbles out of the corner and is hoisted onto the Undertaker’s shoulders.................snake eyes!<o></o> <o></o>
Kennedy rolls out of the ring with Undertaker in pursuit. Taker continues battering Kennedy with right hands, then hoists him up.........and drops Kennedy face first on the barricade! Undertaker then rolls Kennedy back into the ring leaving his head exposed. Taker climbs onto the apron, pauses.........then drops a leg onto Kennedy’s exposed head. Vintage Undertaker.<o></o>>
Taker enters the ring, rebounds off the ropes and drops a leg onto Kennedy. Cover.....1............2............kickout from Kennedy! Undertaker lifts up Kennedy, who hits a thumb to Taker’s eye. Taker stumbles back to the ropes. Kennedy charges at the Undertaker and clotheslines him over the ropes.

Edge: This is a very special edition of the Cutting Edge. You see tonight we all find out who the number one contender for Triple H’s WWE Championship at Backalsh is.

WWE Draft
Its that time of the year! Every single WWE Superstar gathers from RAW and Smackdown gather together for the WWE Draft. Who will be drafted? Will teams be split up? Will champions move to the competition?
Last week RAW's new General Manager Jim Ross announced Backlash's main event, and it is a match nobody expected to hear. World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton will defend his championship against his Legacy teammates Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase. What will Legacy's reaction be?
On Smackdown WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon revealed two blockbuster matches for Monday's show. After John Cena and Rey Mysterio tied last week in their personal 'bet', in which the winner would recieve Cena's World Heavyweight Title rematch AND Mysterio's Intercontinental Title rematch, Mr. McMahon revealed that both would recieve World Title matches. John Cena will get his rematch against World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton, whilst Rey Mysterio will battle Triple H for the WWE Championship!
Also last week Mr. Money In The Bank Matt Hardy cost Chris Jericho in his match with Matt's brother Jeff. An irate Jericho demanded retribution. Will he get his revenge tonight?
Since being blindsided at WrestleMania by CM Punk, Kofu Kingston has made it his mission to get even with Punk. He failed last week as once again Punk used a cheapshot, and layed him out with the GTS. What will Kingston do this week?
And finally, in a shocking announcement, 'The Heartbreak Kid' Shawn Michaels announced that WrestleMania XXVI will be his last. However, HBK promised to make his last year in the WWE one to remember. Incidently, Michaels will be in action tonight against a member of the Smackdown roster.
Tune in a very special edition of RAW this Monday!
