4/3 WWE Monday Night RAW Recap
- The show starts with John Cena addressing the crowd that vehemently booed him last night. RAW is taking place at the site of WrestleMania 22 and the arena has all the banners and signs of the prior night?s set up. While Cena is addressing the crowd that is still split in regards to liking him, Triple H interrupts. Triple H says that the only reason he lost is because he underestimated Cena and it will never happen again.
He demands another match against Cena. Edge interrupts them both and says that he deserves the title shot. Triple H and Edge trade insults with each other but the three men decide to have a handicap match later tonight pitting Edge & Triple H against Cena.
World Tag Team Title Match: Kane & The Big Show vs The Spirit Squad (Kenny/Mikey) - With Kane hurt outside the ring, The Big Show tries to body slam Mikey but the ref gets hits. All 5 members of the Squad are in the ring and they pick up The Big Show from every extremity and drop him. Kenny then hits the leg drop from the top rope to get the win and titles for his team. Winners and new champs: The Spirit Squad
- RVD comes out to discuss his money in the bank title shot. He hints at using his title shot at the ECW PPV in a few months.
Chris Masters vs an unnamed opponent - Masters easily beats his opponent with The Masterlock. After the match, Carlito comes out and appears to want to confront Masters but he spits the apple in the face of Master?s opponent.
When it appears the men are friends again, Carlito sneak attacks Masters and then spits the apple in his face. Winner: Chris Masters
- Shawn Michaels comes to the ring to discuss his match last night. Shane McMahon interrupts Shawn and introduces his dad who is wearing a neck brace. Vince is in a delusional rant and says that Shawn only won due to divine intervention so he challenged Shawn to a tag team match at Backlash, Vince & Shane vs Shawn & God. I can?t believe Vince just said that.
Trish Stratus & Torrie Wilson vs Mickie James & Candice Michelle - Mickie James comes to the ring looking just like Trish Stratus. Mickie uses Trish?s finishing move the Chick Kick on Torrie to get the win for her team. Winners: Mickie James & Candice Michelle
- Chavo Guerrero addresses the crowd. He thanks the fans for keeping Eddie Guerrero?s memory alive. He congratulated Rey Mysterio for winning the World Heavyweight championship. He says that he regrets not fighting for a title last night but says that tonight is his WrestleMania as he will battle Shelton Benjamin tonight and dedicate the match to his Uncle.
Intercontinental Championship: Champ Shelton Benjamin vs Chavo Guerrero - After Chavo does the three amigos, he misses the frog splash and Shelton hits the T-bone suplex to get the win. Chavo leaves the ring very frustrated. Winner: Shelton Benjamin
- Ric Flair is in the ring talking when he is interrupted by newcomer Armando Alejandro Estrada. He was then attacked by Umaga, the wrestler formerly known as Jamal but now looks like a member of old tag team The Wild Samoans.
- In the back, a tear filled Chavo Guerrero quit.
- Ozzie Guillen is in the crowd. I guess he is trying to get onto every wrestling program this month.
Handicap Match: John Cena vs Triple H & Edge w/Lita - Triple H just sits on the top rope for the first few minutes while he lets Edge & Cena fight. After Edge accidentally spears Triple H, Triple H beats up his partner. When Cena goes for the 5 knuckle shuffle, Triple H gives Cena the pedigree to get the pin fall victory on the champ. Winners: Triple H & Edge
