Event:WWE Monday Night RAW Airdate: Monday, December 3rd, 2007 (USA Network) Location: The North Charleton Coliseum in North Charleston, S.C. Results by 411Wrestling.com
We start with clips from last week. Yes, I know it was the Cookie Monster and not Elmo. I fail at Sesame Street. We see Jericho's challenge, Flair's retirement dodging match with Randy Orton and the subsequent chicanery with Jericho costing Orton the match.
PROMO TIME – Chris Jericho. As promised he opens the show. I wonder why they didn't update his music along with his Titantron and ring gear? "Welcome to Raw is Jericho". He reminds us came back to Raw to win the WWE title. He points out that Chico Morales (heh) was right and he can't just walk off the street to get a shot at the belt. So he went and upset him and cost him a match with Ric Flair. Jericho tells us that Orton responded after Raw went off the air. We get the footage with Orton telling him he doesn't deserve a shot but he'll get it because he screwed with him. Orton promises the "single worst beatdown of your life". Jericho tells us he'll win the title at Armageddon but out comes the champ. Randy Orton in the house. He tells Jericho he's giving Jericho a title shot because he knows he can beat him. He tells Jericho he's beaten no one in two years but he's beaten Shawn, HHH and Cena. Jericho reminds us he beat The Rock and Steve Austin the same night. Jericho says he's been watching for the last two years. He points out all of Randy's character traits (violent, vicious etc) but so is he. Orton pulls out the "I don't like you one bit" comeback. Orton threatens violence. Jericho accepts but out comes William Regal. He doesn't want to give away the Armageddon main event for free but he has an alternative. He does the old "dream opponent" match thing. Orton picks Umaga for Jericho. Y2J selects Shawn Michaels. OOOOH! Double main event people!
BACKSTAGE Maria & Mickie James walk and talk. Diva tag action is next!
JR stops off to plug Armageddon with Beth v Mickie. Three quarters hot. Can't complain. Maria uses the Miss Thesz press on Melina but that just pisses her off. Beth in and she wants Mickie. Maria foolishly turns her back and gets manhandled but Mickie is in regardless. Maria wears the hottest outfits and her little pink thong was out for public viewing tonight. One word - HOT. And we've got 8 pics below. She brings the fire with forearms and kicks. Beth gets sick of taking those and grabs her leg. She kicks free and boots Melina off the apron too. Maria thinks about running to help but gets laid out. Beth powers Mickie and over the shoulder powerslams her. Dominance! Fisherman suplex and Beth gets the easy win over her challenger at the PPV.
