POST MATCH Ric Flair runs out here but Carlito runs through the crowd wanting to leave the confrontation for Sunday night at Judgment Day.

BACKSTAGE Shawn Michaels warms up and gets interupted by Randy Orton who wishes him good luck. HBK tells him he's a little busy. Orton says he can beat Shawn. HBK retorts by saying he's not doing anything on Sunday. Looks like the match is added to Judgment Day.

Sidenote – that Mr T advert for Snickers is awesome. "You're gonna meet my friend…PAIN". Genius.

SHILL – Timbaland's video "Throw it on me" will be on Raw next week. Some divas are in it.

SHILL – Judgment Day. Cena v Khali, Lashley v McMahons/Umaga, Dave v Edge, Shawn v Orton. That's the card. Or the top end of it anyway.

EDGE v SHAWN MICHAELS

Well the promo made no sense to set this up but here's Edge's last match as part of the full time Raw brand. His prestigious world title is not on the line. We kick this off with 12 minutes left in the hour. Lawler reminds us that HBK had a concussion from the Khali match. We take the Michaels-Cena approach with Shawn controlling the early going with a side headlock. Edge doesn't offer a clean break and cheap shots Shawn over the ref. And hey, it seems as if cheating is now cause for heat. Or maybe just cheating when it's done by a heel. Shawn comes back with a swinging neckbreaker. Edge comes back with some jabs. Shawn looks troubled by the head shots. Edge gets sidestepped on a charge though and flies outside. Shawn follows with a Thesz press off the apron before the last commercial break. There's something seriously wrong with the pacing here and the crowd are out of it. We return with Shawn lying face down on the mat. He's not moving. Edge kicks at his head. They seem to have regained their heat. A replay shows Shawn get hung up on the ropes. Edge with a headbutt and Shawn looks confused as to what is happening. The ref is ordering Edge to "stay off his head". Edge gives up on the abuse and just pins…for 2. Edge cranks at a cravat. The WWE still seeming to refuse to name the hold. JR calls it a "vice". Edge kicks Shawn square in the face for 2. Shawn is selling this beating with extreme prejudice. Edge with a neckbreaker for 2. An extended chinlock leaves Shawn struggling. His hand drops twice but then he works at escaping. Edge punches him in the head to knock HBK back down. It seems every head shot leaves Shawn lying for ages. Edge heads up top but Shawn crotches him. Edge headbutts him off. Diving crossbody misses though with Shawn ducking under it. Shawn comes back with his patented chops. He's become heavily reliant on them when striking. Shawn with a flying forearm and he nips up. Edge is slammed and Shawn battles his way up top for the Savage Elbow. Shawn is struggling with his balance but now the momentum is on his side. The band is warming up. Edge gets clipped by Sweet Chin Music and Shawn gets the pin at 16.07.
