WWE Results: Monday Night RAW, 4-7-08

Last night on WWE RAW, the main event for Backlash was set. Here's a look at what else went down...

William Regal begins the evening by coming to the ring and announcing that it will be Randy Orton vs. JBL for the main event at Backlash, with the title on the line. Triple H comes down to the ring and says that he wants in on that bout. So Regal says that if he beats Orton and JBL in a handicapped match, he can get in at Backlash.

Regal begins to announce a triple threat match at Backlash... but John Cena comes out with a proposition. He wants a Fatal Four Way for the title. Regal decides to give him the same deal he gave Triple H: he has to Triple H and JBL in order for it to be a Fatal Four Way.

Chris Jericho and his Highlight reel with guests Batista and Shawn Michaels
HBK says that he’s sorry for ending Flair’s career, but Batista begs to differ. He claims that he’d never do something like that, and that HBK did it for another notch on his belt. Michaels says that he’s not proud of some of the things he’s done, and tells Batista that if he wants a piece of him, he should go for it. Batista says, “I already have.”

Regal then received a phone call from Vickie Guerrero saying that Michaels vs. Batista is set for Backlash. Lame! This could be a great feud and they set it up in such a quick way.

Match #7: Cena vs. JBL and Triple H
HHH wants the tag but JBL wants Cena and won’t tag out. He goes for the tag eventually, but HHH backs off. JBL attacks HHH and they go uot of the ring. JBL goes for the clothesline on HHH, who moves out of the way allowing Orton to get it. The ref splits the two of them apart and motions HHH back to the corner. Orton comes in and RKO’d by JBL. Cena takes the advantage for the pin and the fatal fourway at Backlash is set.
Winner: John Cena
