Next week on Raw: The Raw Roulette. Superstars will spin a wheel and wrestle in various WWE gimmick matches.
- The Hardys are backstage... Matt asked if Jeff wins the WWE Title at the Rumble, if Matt could have a title shot if Jeff wins at Royal Rumble... Jeff says yes, lets go talk about it and they walk off...

- JBL makes his return to RAW, coming in a limousine to ringside. Lots of balloons and confettie come down from the rafters. JBL comes out and talks about power. Y2J's music hits and he attacks JBL and the two begin to brawl. The refs come down and break it up.
- Small intermission while they clean the debris...
- Beth Phoenix retains the WWE Women's Title against Mickie James in a good match.
- Regal vs Hornswoggle ends in a No contest... Vince gave Regal brass knuckles and told him to use them. Regal couldn't so Hornswoggle runs up the ramp. Vince comes in and berates Regal who then leaves. Vince said it was a test for Regal to see how he would do.
- Jeff Hardy video promo
- Jeff Hardy vs. Santino Marella. Match starts off and Orton comes on the TitanTron while the match is going on and beats up Matt Hardy in the back... Orton kicks Matt in the head... Jeff leaves the match to help Matt and is shown backstage tending to Matt with the refs.
- Triple H vs. Ric Flair. Huge pop as expected for Flair who is introduced last. Both men hit their signature moves. Flair locks on the figure four for a few minutes. I'm not sure, but I think it was Vince McMahon or Regal who came down and interfered, causing Flair to win by DQ.
Dark Main Event
Jeff Hardy and Chris Jericho defeated Randy Orton and JBL when Hardy hit his Swanton Bomb. Good match.
