Show starts off with Shawn Michaels cutting a promo about how people thinks he's crazy for putting his career on the line at WrestleMania against the Undertaker and how no one believes he can win the match.  Michaels says that he knows he can beat Taker (would he say anything else?).  He then challenges someone to come out and tell him to his face that he can't win, which of course cues his former partner Triple H. Triple H says he knows HBK can beat the Undertaker and puts HBK over as the best he's ever been in the ring with.  Triple H tells Shawn that he has invoked the rematch clause against Miz & Big Show.  Match set for later tonight. 

Wow Cheech and Chong have not aged well.  Ok Hornswoggle and drug humor is just lets see...stupid. 

Match 1: Randy Orton vs. Ted DiBiase

Match setup after Orton turned on Legacy last week, even though it was looking as if Legacy would turn on him.

Winner: Randy Orton by DQ when Cody Rhodes interferes and begins to beat Orton down.  Orton is able to fight back but Legacy escapes before he is finished.  Orton is clearly over and on his way to being the top face in the company.

Bret Hart is scene getting out of a limo witha cast gimick before they go back to the high Chong rubbing down one of the diva's and booking a Diva PJ match. ...turns out his rub down was really on William Regal. 

Match 2: Money In The Bank Qualifying Match

Jack Swagger vs Santino Marella

Winner: Jack Swagger via a powerbomb.  Jack Swagger joins the Money In the Bank Ladder match at WrestleMania

John Cena comes out talks about Batista beating him for the title and how Batista aligned himself with McMahon.  Cena then talks about how he's going to WrestleMania for his title shot and he wants to pay Batista back right now.  Batista comes out with security.  Batista says they are there to protect Cena. Batista says he lost last week to guarantee he faced Cena at Mania.  Batista says that they are the two biggest stars since the now censored Attitude era.  Batista though is upset that he didn't get the commercials, etc that Cena did which is why he attacked Cena the way he did last week.  Long segment that could have been much quicker.  

Backstage more leprachan drug humour, this time with fake mustache's and a talking chicken.

Match 3: Money In the Bank Qualifying Match

Zach Ryder vs MVP

Winner: MVP advancing to WrestleMania

Match 4: Diva Pillow Fight w/ guest ring announcers Cheech & Chong

Kelly Kelly, Eve & Gail Kim vs. Maryse, Alicia Fox, & Jillian

Winner: Eve (evidently it was every one for themselves). 

End of the match Hornswoggle comes out throwing lucky charms to everyone.

Hall of Fame Inductee: Mad Dog Vachon

Mr. McMahon comes out for the Farewell to Hitman ceremony. Bret Hart comes out with the broken leg gimick.  Tells McMahon to get out of the ring for his final farewell.  McMahon then says that he is a world champion liar and that he didn't ask Bret back for a final farewell.  McMahon now accepts Bret's challenge for WrestleMania.  Hart says he's a little incapacitated.  McMahon keeps agging him on.  Hart says he can't wrestle with a broken leg.  McMahon then kicks away Hart's crutch knocking Hart to the mat.  Hart then agrees to the match at WrestleMania. McMahon then anounces he will fight John Cena next week on Raw. 

Match 5: Tag Team Championship Match

DX vs. ShoMiz

Winner: ShoMiz when The Miz pins Michaels with a rollup after Michaels was distracted by the Undertaker. 

After the match Sheamus attacks Triple H. 

Final thoughts:

5 matches including a squash and a "pillow fight", glad I didn't pay to goto the event as the promos weren't great either

Time to end the guest host deal, even though The Rock really needs to host again.

Raw is really going downhill lately, not many matches and the promo's are long, drawn out, and boring. 

Maybe they will step up their game next Monday when TNA goes live and head to head.
