Shane McMahon arrives in a fast car and greets some of the Superstars in the back. He makes his way out to ringside. Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler are at ringside as usual. Shane says that John Cena is the new World Heavyweight Champion, and the crowd doesn't like that. But there are two individuals with championship rematches in their contracts ? Chris Jericho and Batista. So tonight, both men will compete to see who goes onto Armageddon to face Cena for the gold. Stephanie McMahon is here. She has an announcement of her own. Randy Orton also has a valid argument to face Cena. She makes a triple threat between Jericho, Batista and Orton. She would have mentioned it sooner, but she knows he loves surprises. They have words off-mic. Steph says this is her show. Steph also announces that right now, we will see Miz and Morrison vs. (Shane takes over here) Shawn Michaels and Rey Mysterio. Steph reminds him again that it's her show and goes off on one. Shane says she's way off base. He's here for two reasons, to have fun and make Raw a better show. Steph says to make Raw a better show he needs to go back to NYC where he came from. Shane asks if she wants to run the show alone or if she just wants to sleep with another superstar and get a new husband. She slaps him. Shane says he will watch her run Raw right into the ground.

Cole and Lawler are SHOCKED~!

The Miz and John Morrison vs. Shawn Michaels and Rey Mysterio

We get clips of Miz and Morrison's shock win last week against the same team they face tonight. HBK is all bandaged up after Survivor Series. Someone needs to tell Michael Cole that "sole Survivors" implies a guy survived on their own. Morrison and Mysterio start off. Morrison goes behind, but Mysterio snaps off a head scissors. We see a camera shot from the back of JBL's limo, and he tells the driver to go to the ring. Michaels hits a flying forearm, kips up, but gets caught with a nice counter from Morrison. Miz provides a distraction allowing Morrison to connect with his springboard kick. JBL is out now and Miz and Morrison aren't happy.

Lilian Garcia welcomes back the star of the upcoming film Behind Enemy Lines: Columbia, Mr. Kennedy! Kennedy says it's good to be back. He's got a new movie coming out. He talks about the film a little bit. He namedrops Obama, which gets a lot of cheers and a few boos. He took a camera crew to ask WWE fans what WWE Superstars remind them of Obama. One kid says Vince McMahon. Kennedy wants to know why him. Because they're both stubborn. Kennedy wants to know what else. They both have big ears. Kennedy was surprised another Superstar was not mentioned. A Superstar with a Presidential ring to his name. Someone young, fresh, charismatic? and he does the Kennedy shtick. What the hell was the point of that?

Backstage, Grisham is with Batista. Batista congratulates Cena for his big win last night. The gist of the interview is that Dave wants his belt back.

Pat Patterson is doing guest commentary. Oh I see, this tournament is just hype for the new Intercontinental Championship DVD. I knew something was up.
