"Yes, sir, we promised you a great main event?"

We open tonight's show with a highlight package of last night's Career vs. Streak Match with The Undertaker defeating and retiring Shawn Michaels. Every big move in slow motion and one emotional Shawn Michaels leaving WrestleMania for the last time.

Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler are at ringside from Phoenix, Arizona. And tonight, we get Shawn Michaels' farewell speech.

But to start, we open with Batista slowly strolling down to the ring, lookng lie his normal joyous self. He yells at someone, I guess maybe for not getting his spotlight when he wanted. He eventually gets it as he is just about to hit the ring. Batista has the microphone as he waits for the crowd to die down. He says we all know that we are expected Batista is to complain, moan, and groan about WrestleMania, but he on't give us the satisfaction. He calls last night a blip on the radar and a fluke. Nobody will remember it next month as a "you tapped out" chant starts. He says he is entitled to a rematch and he does not care what happened at WrestleMania because John Cena cam't beat him. AND THE CHAMP IS HERE!!!! Cena comes down to the ring and grabs a microphone. He says the energy from WrestleMania is still here and that some guy kept syaig that Cena can't Batista, but he must have missed last night, because it happened. And after all the talk about how Batista wanted the match, how Batista called himself the face of the company? and the face of the company tapped out. Cena says that nobody will forget WrestleMania for the moments last forever. He hypes up Shawn Michaels' final chapter and says Batista can make history by having his rematch with Cena tonight on the most historic broadcast of Monday Night Raw. Cena then says this is when the other guy says not tonight and asks Batista to do something different and give the fans what they want. He tells Batista to prove he is the face of the company and give them the rematch tonight. Batista, of course, says not tonight and lays in with a cheap shot, but gets run off by John Cena. But form behind comes Jack Swagger with the Money in the Bank briefcase. He nails John Cena from behind and lays out Cena with the briefcase. He asks for a referee and is cashing in his shot!!! Cena is able to get an STF, but Swagger slips away and decides to not cash in his title shot. Since the bell never rang, the match never happened, and he still has his title shot. John Cena grabs his title and heads to the back.

We go to Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler and they once again hype up Shawn Michaels' farewell. We get a video of the Heartbreak Career. This clips is of Michaels' debut as part of the Rockers.

Backstage, the guest hosts are in ropes as Santino Marella comes in and walks right out. We then go to the Hot Tub with the Bella Twins, Eve, and Kelly, all in bikinis. I hate these guys. The diva who lasts the longest in the hot tub wins the match. Everyone has glasses of champagne and I seriously hate those two right now.

We go to the ring and Triple H makes his way to the stage. He has the microphone and soaks in the cheers. He calls tonight a surreal night as it is the end of an era. He never thought Shawn's career would end this way and he knew Shawn could beat him. Triple H says that it feels like just yesterday that he walked into the WWE and Shawn was standing there with his bad fashion and mullet haircut? but they took on the world. They fought everyone, side by side, back to back and face to face, but they always fought for each other. There was always the Kliq and then it was just them. He wanted to come out before the farewell? and Triple H just choked up to let an HBK chant come in. He finishes his thought to simply say to Shawn, in front of everyone? and Sheamus comes in and nails Triple H from behind with a pipe! Triple H is down as officials check on The Game.

Back from the break and we see a replay of Sheamus attacking Triple H from behind again.

Kelly Kelly, Beth Pheonix, Mickie James, Gail Kim, and Eve Torres vs. Michelle McCool, Alicia Fox, Layla, Maryse, and Vickie Guerrero

Well, it's a rematch from last night and this time Maryse starts with Eve Torres. Eve Torres rolls up Maryse and gets the three count in ten seconds??? Vickie gets in all their faces and the face divas stand tall after a brawl. That was pathetic.

Winners: Kelly Kelly, Beth Pheonix, Mickie James, Gail Kim, and Eve Torres

The next Heartbreak Moment was WrestleMania XX and the ladder match with Razor Ramon.

Backstage, Bret Hart is walking to the ring to address the WWE Universe.
