WWE Raw Live Report
By James Caldwell of PWTorch.com
The show started with a recap of last Monday when WWE champion Triple H ate the ECW brand for dinner, then the lights went on and off, setting up Randy Orton for the show-closing RKO.
Live in the arena: The arena was dark with no pyro. Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler welcomed us to a dark arena before the lights came up to reveal William Regal in the ring with Lillian Garcia. Big heat for Regal. Lillian sang “God Save The Queen,” much to the angst of the audience while Regal stood stoic in the ring. Big turned into huge heat against Regal, who said how dare they disrespect his country. He said he could have people thrown out of the building if he wants. Regal went to the outside and surveyed the front row. He picked a couple of the crowd and asked for them to leave. Mickie James then stormed ringside and said that’s her family. Regal didn’t care, but Mickie kept arguing. Regal said he could strip Mickie of the Women’s Title if he wanted.
Suddenly, John Cena’s music interrupted and the roof came off. Cena saluted the crowd then sternly walked to the ring not looking in the mood for a fun night at the casino. Cena led Mickie out of the ring, then he approached Regal. He said he’s been away for a few weeks and he needs to talk to Regal man-to-man. Cena went the self-deprecating route, then said pretty much everybody thinks Regal is messing up. Regal said not everyone, as Vince McMahon gave him full endorsement. Cena cut him off and said Vince is straight insane. He then pulled out some emails from fans to WWE’s website about Regal.
Cena read some emails. One dude said Regal turning off the lights two weeks in a row is an absolute disgrace. Why should we respect Regal when he doesn’t respect us? Another dude wrote in this is WCW Thunder bad. He said he’s going to start a petition for a Fire Rus…er…”Fire Regal, clap clap, Fire Regal, clap clap” chant. Cena read another one, then he asked Regal for his thoughts. The fans chanted, “Fire Regal” before Regal could respond. Regal quietly asked if that’s how they truly feel. He paused, took a deep breath, then he gave Cena his word he won’t be turning out the lights on any matches. Regal said Cena’s been off TV for a few weeks after Orton kicked him in the head at Backlash, so tonight it’s Cena vs. Orton in the main event. Big pop for that.
