Raw comes on the air with Coach in the back saying that thanks to his efforts, the Great American Bash was a huge success. He says that we are just fiveweeks away from Summerslam, and that a new #1 Contender must be named. He says he will be looking at all tonight's matches closely. He also says that the Main Event tonight will involve all of Raw's champions as Cade and Murdoch team with Umaga to take on John Cena and Candice Michelle.
Back in the arena, a table is set up in the ring, set rather royally. King Booker's music hits, and the Champion of Champions makes his way to the ring accompanied as always by Queen Sharmell. Once in the ring, Booker grabs a mic, takes a sip from the chalice on the table, and sits on the throne in the ring. He addresses "Jerome" Lawler, saying they got off on the wrong foot last week, but that's no reason to not settle the dispute like gentlemen. He asks him to come into the ring, and they can both state their case for being the true King of the WWE. Lawler agrees and enters the ring. Booker says that he's spared no expense for Lawler, and asks him to sit and make himself comfortable. Booker asks how Lawler is doing. Lawler tries to speak, but the mic keeps cutting out. Booker asks the staff to get "Jerome" another mic. Booker then says that in the meantime he'll state his case for being King. He says that he's earned it, but winning the King of the Ring. He says that one can't just go around calling themselves King. He then addresses the Sacramento Kings, saying that they can't be called Kings since they haven't won anything. He says they should be called the "Peasants."
He asks if Lawler should be King, and says no. He asks if Triple H should be called King of Kings, and says "Hell No". He says that the one true King in the WWE is he, King Booker. As Lawler tries to speak, Sharmell interupts, saying "All Hail King Booker!" Lawler finally gets his word in, saying that a King is only as good as his kingdom. If the people don't think of you as a king, then you're not really a king. Lawler says that from what he gathers from the crowd, they don't think of Booker as a king. Lawler says that he is a pompous, delusional, pain in the arse. Booker says that he will no longer stand for this. He says that if Lawler really thinks this, then he'll say it right to his face. Lawler says he has a better idea, and he gives Booker a hard right that knocks Booker to the ground. Lawler stomps away, until Booker rolls out of the ring, and then throws a platter of fruit from the table onto King Booker. Lawler's music hits as Booker backs up the entrance ramp, and Lawler poses with his crown in the ring.
After the break, Melina's music hits, and she comes out with Beth Pheonix for this tag match. As they wait in the ring, Mickie James' music hits, to a loud pop, and she comes out to the ring, followed by Maria, who is being accompanied by Santino Marella.
Melina and Beth Pheonix vs. Mickie James and Maria (w/Santino Marella)
We start with Melina and Beth. After a shoving match, Beth gets Mickie into the corner, but Mickie hits a back elbow followed by a hurricanrana. Beth soon takes advantage again, forcing Mickie into another corner, this time tagging in Melina. Melina and Mickie go at it, with Mickie getting some good shots, but Melina holding her own. Mickie makes the tag to Maria, who gets on the offense, but finds herself the victim of a double team. Melina then starts to pound on Maria, getting her into the corner and pounding away. Melina tags Beth, who picks Maria up by her arms for a double-arm chicken wing, before letting her fall face first. Beth tags in Melina, who again starts to work over Maria, rubbing her face on the canvas. Maria finally makes the hot tag to Mickie who comes in on fire. After taking Melina down with a headscissors, she knocks Beth off of the canvas. Mickie then starts fighting Melina. As Mickie goes into the ropes, Beth grabs her hair, but Mickie fights out. Mickie gets Melina into the corner, and tags Maria before hitting a Monkeyflip. Maria hits a crossbody from the top, but only gets a two count, thanks to Beth's interference. Mickie tries to help Maria as a double team is occuring. The ref holds her back, but Santino has seen enough. He trips both Melina and Beth as Maria comes running at them. Maria uses this to her advantage and hits a running bulldog on Melina for the win.
Your Winners: Mickie James and Maria
After the break, Cody Rhodes is seen talking to Gerald Brisco. Brisco is giving him some pointers about facing Orton tonight. Orton comes from behind, and he and Cody have a nice little exchange. Cody says that the reason Orton didn't kick in Dusty's head was fear. Orton says that Cody is the one who should be afraid, and he should back out so Orton can let him leave with what little dignity he has left. Cody says that he'll see Orton out there and leaves. Orton says that Cody has brought this on himself.
Todd Grisham is in the back and introduces John Cena. He asks Cena about having to team with Candice Michelle. Cena asks Todd to close his eyes. He goes on this thing about imagining a beautiful woman coming towards him, and it's Candice. He then says that she whispers in his ears "Let's wrestle." Then the cast of Brokeback Mountain and a huge sweaty Samoan who smells like coconuts and urinal cakes. Grisham gets a disgusted look on his face, opens his eyes, and asks Cena why he'd do that to him. Cena says that in Todd's mind it's just a fantasy, but to him it's reality. Grisham then asks about Coach's promise to name a new #1 contender. Cena lists off a few of his opponents that he's beaten, including the Great Khali, and Shawn Michaels. He then gives his usual "If you want some, come get some!" and we go to a break.
Sandman and Jim Duggan vs. William Regal and Carlito
Sandman and Regal starts off, and Regal hits a kick to Sandman, before hitting continuous shots. Sandman reverses an irish whip attempt with a back elbow. Sandman then attacks Carlito on the apron. Regal takes this to his advantage, and attacks. With Sandman down, Regal tags in Carlito, who goes on the attack. Sandman can't seem to get the upperhand as Carlito reigns blows upon him. Carlito tags in Regal, who then starts again to beat on Sandman. Sandman manages to get a suplex on Regal, and then makes the tag to Duggan, as Regal tags in Carlito. Duggan starts cleaning house, shouting "HOoOo!" all the while. Regal attempts to interfere, but Duggan knocks him off of the apron. Duggan then sizes up Carlito for the 5-point Stance. As Duggan runs at him, Carlito dodges and lands the Backstabber, covers, and picks up the win.
Your Winners: Carlito and Regal
After a break, Carlito and Regal are in the back talking. Carlito says that if Coach needs a new #1 contender, Carlito is the one. He says that things are finally going his way, and that's cool. He takes a bite from his apple, gets a look on his face like it's bad, tries to find a place to spit it out, and finally just spits it to the side. The camera pans out, and we see the Carlito has spit the apple chunks in Lashley's face. Carlito takes off, runs into the arena, and grabs a mic. Carlito says that it was an accident. He says that he knows the kind of guy that Lashley is, and that if he is forgiven, then Lashley shouldn't do anything. After a few seconds of waiting, Carlito smiles and goes to leave, but Lashley's music hits. Carlito is frantically telling Lashley not to do anything and that he's sorry. Lashley jumps up to the apron, but Carlito meets him, knock him to the ground. Carlito beats down Lashley, and then tries to Irish whip him into the ring steps. Lashley leaps over the steps, lands on his feet and turns to face Carlito. He catches the South Paw from San Juan, and lifts him as if he were nothing. Lashley drops him face first onto the apron. He then gets him in the ring and hits a massive running powerslam. Carlito is down and Lashley is leaving as we go to a break.
Randy Orton vs. Cody Rhodes
The two men size each other up, and then lock up in a collar-elbow. Randy Orton locks in a side headlock, followed by a few takedowns. Cody manages to counter another attempt, only to be slapped by Orton. The two men size each other up again, but this time Orton hits Cody in gut with a knee. Orton starts pounding on Cody, before hitting his face into the turnbuckle. Orton then puts Cody into the corner, but Cody leaps to the top and hits a flying crossbody block. Cody covers, but Orton kicks out at the 1 count. Orton then gets Cody into a corner again, only to be caught in a victory roll. Again, Orton kicks out, and hits Cody with a hard right.
