-Match: United States Championship MVP vs The Big Show
Having disputedly 'earnt' this title match, Big Show was keen to get it going as it kicked off our evening, espcially as MVP was still showing the effects of his MITB ladder match. As predicted, Big Show dominated the match, throwing around MVP and working the ribs and spleen section, weakening a weakened MVP, but no slam, not even an early Chokeslam could give Big Show the 3. Fustration kicked in for Big Show, who mis-charge allowed MVP to sen dhim sprawling to the outside, and a running dropkick into the turnbuckle from the apron almost looked to give MVP the shock countout win, but Show was back in by 8. Show immediantly resumed domination over the US Champ, but MVP was able to reverse another Chokeslam attempt, and to counter that counter, Big Show threw him into the turnbuckle, and put the punches in, however over the ref's 5-count, leading to the DQ win for MVP!
Winner: MVP (By DQ- Still US Champion) (9:37)
Big Show imaginably didnt take to the result well, arguing with the ref, befor eturning around an nailing MVP with the Knockout Punch straight to the jaw. Not done, and despite more referees appearing to try an prevent it, Big Show Chokeslammed MVP for a 3rd time through the announce table! Before walking off with a grin at the damage he caused.
-Commercial-
During the commercial, we're seen Big Show arguaging and threatening new SD GM Teddy Long, demanding to be included in the Hardy No.1 contender to the US Championship match. Teddy Long agrees eventually, but as Big Show leaves, adds that if Show is the one who gets pinned, he gets suspended for his actions tonight.
Back in the ring, the mixed 'Rated-RKO' theme tune hits as out comes Edge and special guest Randy Orton, as the crowd pelt them with boos, as both men walk down with a smirk. Orton lazily ignores the fans, as Edge seems to soak in the attention, as both saunter into the ring. JR reminds us that later tonight they have a 'warm-up' match for the Tag Team Championships against the Colons, though wonders how ill-advised it is to consider the Colons as warm-up acts. Edge and Orton have mics, and prepare to address the audience.
Edge: 'At Backlash... (Orton: 'Hey! Shut it, and show some respect!' as the crowd rain down the boos) Thank you. At Backlash, me and Orton will have the chance to right two serious wrongs, thanks to my beautiful wife, Vickie Guerrero. We are going to beat Triple H and John Cena, and take back our championships, that were stolen from us. I mean, I wasn't even pinned! That big oaf Big Show was, and I lost my title to that knuckle-shuffling moron (mockingly does the 'You Cant See Me' hand wave) John Cena (crowd pops).
Orton: 'And as for me, I was cost my rightful place as champion by Mcmahon's consipracies at what should have been my greatest moment in my career: finally ending my demons with Triple H and achieving what was always my destiny, ending the McMahon's legacy, and letting Triple H go out with at least some dignity left. But all they've done is drag this out, when it never had to go this far, just because Triple H cannot accept his time is done, and so Daddy dearest, Mr McMahon keeps the belt around his waist, at the expense of more deserving wrestlers. Like me. But make no mistake, come Backlash, there will be no excuses for Triple H, because i will kick him in the skull, and take my rightful place as head of this company. What you all (points at the crowd) and Triple H fail to realise, is that this is no longer the Game, and can you play it, this is the Age of Orton, and will he let you survive it?'
Edge: 'But we dont have to wait till Backlash to give a taste of whats to come. Because come this Draft RAW, both Randy and I will have matches with Cena and Triple H representing our brands, and believe me, will I put down a beat down on Cena, as will Randy on Triple H, but just for you chain-loving kiddies, I'll leave a lil piece left for Backlash, and then, I'll Spear it in half!'
Orton: 'But we're not ready yet. So Vickie kindly gave us a warm-up match tonight, to prevent any unfair adavantages to the champions, by allowling us to challenge again for the Tag Team Championships. So to the champions, don't take what we do to you personally, remeber, you were only the start. It ends at Backlash, with the demise of Triple H and the McMahon era.'
Edge: 'That's right, because come Backlash, we will witness a new era of champions, and it's Rated-R...'
Orton: K-O'
Both men pose in the ring, arms raused, as the camera fades out, as the crowd continues to both the smirking Edge and the cold-faced Orton.
We come back to the ring, during Cryme Tyme's enterance, as we get set for a 6-man Mixed Tag Team Match, featuring for the first time ever, the Women's and Divas Champions!
-Match: 6-Man Mixed Gender Tag Team Match Cryme Tyme and Melina vs World's Greatest Tag Team and Maryse
Coming off a good showing at MITB, Shelton in a pre-tape promo promised that we would se ethe turn-around of Shelton Benjamin's career, from Smackdown whipping boy, to World Champion. He an JTG started off, exchanging quick exchanges, before the expirenced Shelton took over. WGTT made quick tags, isolating JTG from his corner, and the much larger Shad, as Melina and Maryse continously exchanged lances, WGTT wore down and wore out JTG, continous tags and suplex-combos, along with gut wrenches and suplexes, but JTG managed to kepe getting teh kick-out. A counter from a Haas back-suplex show teh tag to the large Shad, who cleaned the ring of WGTT, and even planted a kiss on the distracting Maryse (much to her obvious disgust). A sneak attack from Haas failed, as Shad planted him with the Shout Out, but Benjamin broke up the count near 3. JTG cleare dout him and Shelton, before Maryse was able to get the tag on Haas, forcing in her and Melina, who went straight at it. Melina was able to regain the advtange, but was tripped by Benjamin, who was chased of by Cryme Tyme, as they all brawled on the ramp. Back in the ring, Maryse rolled up Melina, holding the tights and got the 1,2,3!
Winners: World's Greatest Tag Team and Maryse (8:25)
As WGTT and Cryme Tyme chase each other to the back, both women face ecah other, as they're handed their respective female title. Mayrse slyly and cockily raises hers in the air, to boos. Melina retaliates by raising hers to pops from the crowd, as Mayse then turns from smirk to fown, and the camera pans out with both titles raised in the air.
-Commercial-
-Promo: The Brett Hart Candian Leaf is shown, with the remixed Hitman music, with the caption: 'The Greatest Dynasty debuts at Backlash'-
-Match: No.1 Contender to the US. Championship Matt Hardy vs Jeff Hardy vs the Big Show
Looking to carry on their feud, although maybe Jeff less reluctantly, Matt and Jeff began the match right where they left off at Wrestlemania: a brawl, in the ring and out, leaving the Big Show largely ignored to begin wth, who seemed amused with this, as he waited. The brawl returne dto the ring, where Show re-asserted himself by taking down both men. Show picked up where HE left off with MVP, pummeling both men with punches and headbutts. Matt and Jeff battled back, by ducking a clothesline from Show, and both knocked him out the ring with a dropkick to the jaw. Matt encouraged Jeff to fly over the rope, but as Jeff went, Matt caught him with a hard roll-up for a near 3. Both men resumed their brawl, as Show took his time coming back in the ring. Matt planted Jeff with a Side-Effect but still couldnt put him away. A Leg Drop from the top rope failed when Show pushed Matt off. Show went for the camel clutch on Jeff but again Matt stopped it with a small DDT on Show, but that pin failed. Show fell to the corner, and the Hardys hit Poetry in Motion (bringing out some cheers form the crowd) , and again Big Show retreated to teh outside, allwoing the Hardys to resume their brawl. Jeff battled back, planting Matt with a Twist of Fate, but when going for the Swanton Bomb, Matt rolled out the ring, and so Jeff jumped on him instead, and both men took their brawl up the ramp, as the ref begins to count them out. Show rolls in, as the Hardys fight to the back, and ref counts to 10!
Winner: Big Show (by double countout- No.1 Contender to US CHampionship at Backlash) (10.55)
Backstage, we're shown Matt an Jeff still brawling, nailing each other with gargabe bins and such, before Matt levels Jeff with a steel chair, before screaming at Jeff how he should have stayed away after WM.
-Backlash Promo: Orton/Triple H feud-
We're back in the ring, and Chris Jericho is here, in ring gear, and with a mic as 'Break Down the Walls' is playing.
Jericho: 'Before you ask, what is Chris Jericho doing on this second-rate TV show, when everyone knows Jericho is RAW, which everyone also knows, he made as the flagship to the WWE (crowd boos heavily) Vickie Guerrero booked me to compete on this brand tonight. But I will use this time to address two important issues. The first is Shawn Michaels. On Monday Night, you kicked me in the jaw, and normally i would have destroyed you right there and then Michaels, but all you were doing was proving my point about how you need me, and how i will save you and bring out the ruthless, great, incredible Shawn Michaels, and make no mistake about it, we will one day be raisng our World Championships in the air. But my point was dashed by issue number 2: Steamboat. Didn't you learn at Wrestlemania? Sure you could wrestle back in the 80's, sure you had talent, but this is my time, and you costing me the Intercontinental Championship against the masked un-wonder Rey Mysterio has made me realise that maybe at Wrestlemania i didnt get my point across properly. So I'm issuing you a challenge for Backlash: throw away teh crutches and step into the ring with me old man, even have tha has-been Ric Flair in your corner if you need him, and I promise you, I will put you out your misery, out of your spot-light addiction once and for all, showing in effect Shawn Michaels, that I am true to my word, and then maybe he will se ethe light and stop living on you parasite's every cheer. And if you want an example Steamboat of what wiats you, if you didn't learn at Backlash, just watch what I do to my opponent.'
He throws away the mic, and limbers up, as 'SOS' hits and out come shis opponent, making his first-ever Smackdown appearance: Kofi Kingston.
- Match: Singles Chris Jericho vs Kofi Kingston
Jericho had something to prove tonight, having never beaten Kofi 1-on-1 plus with a message to send, but again was caught off with kofi's quickness, before resuming control after swiping away a dropkick attempt. Jericho worked over the lower back and legs, no doubt preparing for the Walls, but also stopping Kofi from leaping around. Once in control, Jericho asserted his usual confdent, egominacal style, apllying several leg locks, and yelling at the ref to continously ask kofi, who battled back after from a half-nelson, and caught Jericho with a beautiful Pele kick to the temple. Kofi exploded back into the match with several leg lariats and a 'Boom Boom Boom' leg drop to the stomach and ribs of Jericho with the 'controlled frenzy'. However an attempted leaping 10-punches was caught into a spinebuster by jericho, who wnet to follow (after dalling) with a Lionsault, which allowed Kofi to roll ou the way , and attempt a Trouble in Paradise, which Jericho ducked and nailed a CodeBreaker. Seemingly the end, Jericho instead of pinning, locked in the Walls, dragging Kofi to the middle of the ring and sitting down, eventually forcing the submission from Kofi.
Winner: Chris Jericho (10:07)
After, Jericho got back on the mic and asked Steamboat if he was watching, because Jericho may not be psychic, but he is the best at what he does, and at Backlash, he slays the Dragon, for good.
-Final Commercial-
We see the Colons, and Rated-RKO on their way to the ring. JR also informs us that Triple H and Cena, and Legacy have been banned from ringside, to ensure fair competing, but Cena and Triple H are in the building.
-Main Event: Unified Tag Team Championship The Colons vs Rated-RKO
It looked like Rated-RKO hadnt missed a beat of their old teamwork, as they jumped the Colons from behind and assualted them before the bell rang, throwing them into the post and teh steps, and the barricades. Edge rolled Carlito into the ring, allowing the bell to be rung and got a near 3 on the immediate pin attempt, as JR reminds us how Edge is always very oppotunistic. Edge beat on Carlito, as Orton worked Primo outside the ring, before dumping him into the steel steps again. Edge and Orton took turns working on Carlito with numerous moves and stomps. Orton stamped on every available body part, as well as worked over the back, as Edge went for every pin availabe. It looked doomed for Carlito when Orton naile dthe neck/back breaker, but Carlito was again able to kick out before 3. Fustrated, Orton tagged out to Edge who immediantly went for teh Spear, but Carlito was able to trip Edge into the turnbuckle, as Primo pulled up on the apron. It looked like Carlito was gonan get the hot tag, but Orton knocked off Primo, an then stalked Carlito for the RKO as the ref admonished him, but Orton ignored hi. Orton went for the RKO, but Primo trapped his leg. Orton distracted, Carlito turned, and dodged a second Spear from Edge who flew into Orton! Aghast, Edge distracted allowed Carlito to nail a Backstabber, but couldnt make the pin cover due to faitgue. Primo desperate for the tag in the corner, and Cralito slowly crawls and gives it to him, Primo leapt in, covered but could only get a near 3 on Edge. Primo bounced off teh ropes, but Orton catches his leg, and Carlito dives off the apron onto Orton! Meanwhile Edge hits the Spear on Primo and its 1, 2 ,3 ! Rated-RKO take the gold!
Winners: Rated-RKO (New Unified Tag Team Champions) (10.50)
Edge and Orton are handed their belts, as both pose, before Orton starts complaining about Edge's mis-Spear. 'The Game' hits as both freeze, and charging to the ring comes Triple H, who immediantly gets double-teamed on, although he battles back with pucnches. He sets up Orton for the Pedigree, but Edge cuts him off, and out comes Cena to a big ovation. He dives in, and Rated-RKO flee the ring, belt sin tow. They pose on the ramp, as Triple H and Cena stare them down.

The Face of the WWE changes tonight, as we prepare for the 3-Hour Draft Show, where anyone and everyone is eligible for trade. Wars will be renewed, rivalaires restores and or partnerships, revitalised.
On the Edge of Victory?
The momentum for Rated-RKO grew on Friday Night, with the capture of the Unified Tag Team Championships from the Colons. Tonight, they have the chanve to avevenge their Wrestlemania defeats by facing the same men they both lost to that night, and vow to destroy at Backlash: The World Champions, John Cena and Triple H. Can Edge and Orton continue this momentum riding heading into Backlash, can they make it grow as we draw ever closer? Or can Cena and Triple H end the Rated-RKO train run so early in its tracks?
The Has-Been Kid?
Michaels, last week, reeling off his defeat to the Undertaker at Wrestlemania, came out and questione dhimself and his abilities as a wrestler. Who should interupt, but none other then the narcisstic Chris Jericho, who boasted of his own acomplishments, and vowed to show HBK the error of his ways by playing to the fans. Will Jericho continue this vow tonight? And despite dropping Jericho with SCM, it looked like Michaels was hit by Jericho's words. Will we see further develpments tonight? You'll have to tune in, to find out, here on Monday Night RAW.
