PROMO TIME – Edge

The new World champion is in the house to say goodbye to his Raw fans and gets a LOAD of pyro to celebrate his title win. The WWE seem to have figured out that if they leave the entrance music playing for ages the crowd don't get bored and it kills time. Edge talks about having the greatest week of any wrestler in the history of the industry. Well he WAS Wrestler of the Week. Edge says he'd already beaten John Cena so he wanted to do something more memorable by cashing it in on the Undertaker. That was on Smackdown. Edge talks about how he thought about leaving and having one last great match on Raw. He says the crowd don't deserve it anyway and he has a title match with Dave Batista at Judgment Day. He says he did in three seconds what Dave couldn't get done in three months and beat Taker. Edge decides he's just going to leave as the champ. Keep it simple. He's interupted by SHAWN MICHAELS. He's complete with baseball cap to cover baldness/thinning. Shawn tells him to just leave because the crowd are sick of him, which somehow provokes Edge into wanting a match against Shawn tonight to see him off. Er, what?

BACKSTAGE Todd Grisham has Bob Lashley for a promo. Before he starts talking Shane McMahon strolls in to mess with his head. He's not allowed to touch Shane though. Shane takes advantage of the situation to mess with him some more and wish him well against the Coach tonight.

BOBBY LASHLEY v THE COACH w/Vince McMahon/Shane McMahon/Umaga

Vince dances with the ECW title. Somehow winning the ECW title along with losing his hair has made him act like he's in a hip hop video. Coach looks scared. He slaps Lashley, who slaps back. Coach looks scared. Crossfaces! Coach covers up while the seconds goof around. Lashley racks Coach into a backbreaker. Coach should have just quit there. He struggles back to his feet and gets speared. That gets it done at 1.34.

Winner: Lashley via pinfall. Man that spear sucks.

POST MATCH Shane & Umaga jump Lashley but he cleans house and throws Shane over the top. Umaga beats Lashley down though. Buttalanche misses. Spear for Umaga. Vince decides descretion is the greater part of valour and runs away drawing Lashley into a Shane lariat on the floor. Lashley pops back up. Shane runs like a scolded dog. Lashley tries to cut him off but Shane leaps over the rail and heads to the back. We follow the action backstage with Shane losing his jacket and diving into the sunroof of the McMahon family limo. Only Vince is still here and he punks Lashley out with the title belt. Well that was fun. JR is now refering to Vince as "the Doctor of Hardcore" because of his honourary docterate.
