This was my introduction to a conversation with Al Snow. Al Snow happy to be independent
What will happen after the big shake up? Who will switch brands? Find out on a special three hour special episode of Raw, this Monday at a special start time 8PM EST.
Raw begins when John Cena comes out and says that with the support of the fans, this is the best entertainment money can buy.
The best moments have been in the WWE, such as when Hogan picked up Andre, when Stone Cold whips some ass, and with a million dollars at hand, every seat in the arena is full.
HHH then comes down to the ring and warns Cena about getting involved in his matches, such as the one he had with Hardy last week. The two are getting ready to go at it when Vince comes out. He says that he feels lucky and ready to give away $1 Million dollars.
This week’s password is: Watch Raw And Win

When Raw rolls into Oakland, Calif., on Monday night, Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho has high hopes that Shawn Michaels will be there to join him on a special episode of the Highlight Reel.
In recent weeks, Y2J has been sending mixed signals. During his Judgment Day Match against Michaels, Jericho chomped at the notion of taking out The Showstopper. Then, at One Night Stand, Jericho willed Michaels on in his losing effort against Batista. And last week, Y2J even dedicated his match against JBL to a recovering Michaels.
What exactly does the Intercontinental Champion have in mind by inviting HBK onto the Highlight Reel? And exactly which Chris Jericho will show up?
On a more moneyed note, Mr. McMahon explained last week that he’s poised to give out $1 million of his own money to show his appreciation to loyal Raw viewers in McMahon’s Million Dollar Mania sweepstakes. Register and tune in for your chance to win a share of the Chairman’s loot.
Have you registered to win Mr. McMahon’s money yet? If not, what are you waiting for? Enter to win now!
In other Raw action, John Cena defeated Jeff Hardy last week and won an opportunity to face Triple H for the WWE Title at Night of Champions. In the lead up to the pay-per-view, how will these two opponents prove their dominance? And which of them will capture the momentum in the run-up to Night of Champions?
If all that weren’t enough, don’t forget the seismic shift that’s sure to occur in two weeks when WWE holds its brand-wide draft.
Just two weeks ago, Cena defeated Jeff Hardy to become the No. 1 contender. Last week saw Triple H sweep Cena’s legs out from under him after the Chain Gang Commander’s victory over JBL. Then, in the night’s main event between The Game and Jeff Hardy, Cena interfered, causing Triple H to lose by count-out. With less than two weeks before Night of Champions, will anything keep these two fierce competitors from annihilating one another? Will Cena’s Street Fight with Umaga affect his strategy going into Night of Champions?
An appearance by Shawn Michaels on Intercontinental Champion Chris Jericho’s Highlight Reel quickly turned ugly when Y2J attacked The Showstopper. Their rivalry had been building for the past few weeks as Jericho alternately accused HBK of faking an injury and then encouraged him in a match against Batista. What is the purpose of the mind games that the Intercontinental Champion is playing with Michaels, and how will Michaels react to being attacked last Monday night?
Also last week, World Tag Team Champions Hardcore Holly & Cody Rhodes suffered their second defeat in a row, this time at the hands of Umaga & Snitsky. While recovering after the match, the champs were again confronted by Raw’s newest Superstar, Ted DiBiase. The “simply priceless” DiBiase warned them that at Night of Champions, he and a partner of his choosing will prevail over the World Tag Team Champions. With the ongoing strife between Holly & Rhodes, will they be able to stand up to DiBiase and his mystery partner? And who will that partner turn out to be?
As temperatures run high on Raw, surely in the back of all the Superstars’ minds are thoughts of the impending WWE Draft. In less than two weeks, all Superstars from all brands will be eligible to be drafted to another show. Who will get selected to leave Raw and which of your favorite Superstars will begin appearing on Monday nights?
But, your biggest reason to tune into Raw this week is no doubt the continuation of McMahon’s Million Dollar Mania. The reports are all true: Mr. McMahon is giving away his own money. Just last week he gave away a cool $1 million, and he’s promised to do it all again this week. To get your share, all you have to do is register at WWE.com and tune in.
Still Champ HHH starts off raw saying that the Age of Orton is broken, as if it never existed. Orton is gone and who is next? The man-slut himself, John Cena comes out and asks HHH one question – “Are you ready?” HHH said, “if you want some, come get some”. Hardy’s music plays and out comes Jeff Hardy, who says that he’s in line for the title as well. He believes that the fans want to see, for the first time ever, Jeff Hardy VS John Cena. McMahon comes on the Titontron and announces it will be Cena VS Hardy and the winner will take on HHH at the Night of Champions.
Match #1: Mr. Kennedy VS Umaga
Match was supposed to be against Paul Burchell, but he claimed that he had to help his sister, Katie Lea, get ready for her first match, and so he had lined up Umaga to go against Kennedy. Kennedy attacks Umaga’s injured stomach. Kennedy lying against the announcer’s table when Umaga jumps off the ring, Kennedy moves making Umaga hit the table with his injured abdomen. Umaga gets counted out.
WINNER: Mr. Kennedy
Burchill comes out and gives Kennedy a swinging neck breaker.
Vince McMahon graces the audience with his presence and explains about his Million Dollar Mania. He loads $1 Million dollars into a clear plastic box and explains that you have to register at wwe.com in order to win the million. He says that he is doing it in order to bring in new people, as WWE relates to the Americana in all of us.
*did a little snooping and here’s how the Million Dollar Mania works – you go online and register, leaving your phone number there as well. During the broadcast they will be showing secret codes and will be calling a list of randomly selected people who have registered. If they call you and you pick up, you have to be able to tell them the secret code that just aired. If you’re not there, or if you can not say the secret code, you do not win your prize. There will be one $250 Million dollar grand prize, two $200 Million dollar prizes, and a few other prizes getting rid of the million, including a $2 “sixth” prize.*
Match #2: Santino Marella and Carlito VS Hardcore Holly and Cody Rhodes

While the Superstars who participated in One Night Stand last night are licking their wounds from the most Extreme pay-per-view in WWE history, everyone else is eagerly awaiting more details on Mr. McMahon’s Million Dollar Mania. The WWE Chairman has promised to give more details on the giveaway on Monday Night Raw, including how you can win $1 million from Mr. McMahon himself. The Chairman has also scheduled a press conference for Tuesday afternoon, discussing the giveaway.
One person who is already a winner is Triple H, who successfully defended his WWE Championship against Randy Orton, but at great cost to their bodies. With both Superstars severely battered from their Last Man Standing Match, will the Legend Killer even be capable of rising again to compete against The Game?
Also at One Night Stand, John Cena defeated JBL in a First Blood Match, causing the Longhorn Loudmouth to bleed from the mouth after a brutal match. Will the self-made millionaire let his rivalry with Cena fall by the wayside after this defeat? While JBL had a bloody mouth to tend, Shawn Michaels was injured much more seriously, as he was literally unable to walk away from his Stretcher Match with Batista. HBK has been injured before, necessitating extended recovery time spent away from WWE. What, if anything, will we see from The Showstopper on Raw, and how will he react to having his show stopped by The Animal?
Santino Marella has an upcoming match with Jimmy Kimmel Live!’s Cousin Sal on SmackDown. But as explained exclusively on WWE Mobile on AT&T, the Braggadocios Italian Superstar has something special in store for Sal’s training partner, WWE Hall of Famer “Rowdy” Roddy Piper on Raw this week.

McMahon says that he wants to give appreciation for the fans watching Raw every Monday night and he will be having a 2008 WWE draft starting soon, and that he will be giving away the sum of 1 Million Dollars from his own personal banking account every week.
Just 24 hours after Judgment Day, four blockbuster matches were announced for One Night Stand, the one night where the WWE goes extreme. Half of those matches came from the biggest upset of Monday night, when Randy Orton & JBL defeated WWE Champion Triple H & John Cena in a tag team competition, earning the right to challenge the The Game and the Chain Gang Soldier to singles matches with extreme stipulations of the challengers’ choosing.
JBL assured that his match will be as vicious as the self-proclaimed “wrestling god” can make it, by demanding a First Blood Match. Orton, however, will compete against Triple H for the WWE Championship in the same type of match in which he won the title last October: a Last Man Standing Match. Knowing the bad blood that still boils between these four competitors, what type of pre-battle tactics can we expect in the next two weeks leading up to One Night Stand?
Flowing out of the ongoing rivalry between Santino Marella and Hall of Famer “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, the cocky Italian Superstar ridiculed “Hot Rod” and his super-fan, Jimmy Kimmel’s Cousin Sal on Santino’s own version of Piper’s Pit. After Piper and Sal threw him from the ring, Marella challenged Cousin Sal to a match, which Piper promptly accepted on Sal’s behalf. When can we expect to see these two spicy Italians square off, and how might the kilted WWE Legend be involved in their confrontation?
Batista has a bone to pick with Shawn Michaels, and by defeating Chris Jericho on Raw last Monday, he earned the chance to take on The Showstopper at One Night Stand. The Animal is still angry about HBK faking a knee injury, but William Regal has assured that HBK and The Animal’s match will end with someone legitimately injured by making their contest a Stretcher Match. Shawn Michaels is a man who will do anything to win — how will he use the next two weeks to prepare for the raw power of The Animal?
Though much of the night’s talk was of One Night Stand on June 1, there was another shocking development Monday night. After being defeated by Mr. Kennedy in a Loser Gets Fired Match, William Regal has been relieved of his duties as General Manager of Raw. Regal has a successful wrestling career behind him, having been recently crowned King of the Ring, and even garnered praise from Mr. McMahon himself for his work as GM of Raw. Have we seen the last we see of this vicious British brawler? And who will step into his kingly shoes on the next Monday Night Raw?
For answers to these questions and more, tune in to Monday Night Raw at 9/8 CT on Memorial Day, only on USA Network!
Tonight’s Raw will be held at the Kemper Arena in Kansas City, MO. The Kemper Arena in Kansas City, Mo. is one of the more famed arenas in the United States. It has held many memorable events, including several NCAA Final Four basketball games, the 1976 Republican National Convention, and a Paul McCartney concert the same year. But what the arena may also be hosting is a haunting. Deceased Legend Haunts Kemper Arena
Shawn Michaels has been a hot topic ever since retiring Hall of Famer Ric Flair at WrestleMania XXIV. With his controversial win over Batista at Backlash and now another controversial victory over Chris Jericho at Judgment Day, HBK seems to be confirming everything The Animal and Y2J have been saying about him. Now, those two competitors - Jericho and Batista - will collide on Raw in an interbrand singles match. The winner meets Michaels at One Night Stand. Who will get their rematch with The Showstopper?
John Cena may have won at Judgment Day, but as JBL pointed out after the match, it was Cena, not JBL, that needed to be looked over in the trainer’s room after their match. Will Cena have a response to the Self-Made Millionaire’s post-match statement? Or will the punishment JBL inflicted on Cena force the Chain Gang commander to tend to his wounds for another couple of weeks?
After being interrupted by GM William Regal last week upon his return, Jeff Hardy defeated Umaga. Sunday night, Hardy answered MVP’s open challenge and made it clear that he was back with a purpose. Will Hardy continue his winning ways? Will he attempt to finish what he was saying last week before being interrupted by William Regal? Will Jeff feel any repercussions following his win over Umaga last week?
William Regal has been ruling with an iron fist as of late, much to the disgust of our fans and Superstars alike. From blackouts to 14-on-2 matches, Regal has not been afraid to wield his new sense of power with the utmost authority. One man who has not been afraid to lock horns with the Raw GM is Mr. Kennedy. Will the Green Bay loudmouth fall into line and pay Regal the respect he claims he deserves, or will Kennedy gain some respect of his own from the GM?
Mickie James was able to walk out of Judgment Day with her WWE Women’s Championship after pinning Melina. Unfortunately for her though, Beth Phoenix has been relentless in her pursuit of Mickie and the title – and will not stop until she succeeds. How will The Glamazon go about getting another Women’s Championship opportunity? Will Mickie James be able to fend off Phoenix again?
We’ll find out all the answers to these questions and the fallout from Judgment Day when Monday Night Raw airs live from Kansas City, Mo., at 9/8 CT on USA Network.
Raw starts out pitch black. When the lights come on, Regal is standing in the middle of the ring and Jillian is singing “God Save the Queen”. Regal throws out two people for disrespecting the queen.

Cena comes out to tell Regal that fans are fed up with him turning out the lights. Regal then makes it Cena VS Orton, and if anyone interferes, that person is immediately suspended.
