WWE Results: Monday Night RAW, 5-19-08

Jeff Hardy v. Umaga
Hardy went to the ropes but Umaga caught him by the hair. Hardy broke free and went for whisper in the wind and Umaga casually walked to the side, avoiding what beat him last week. Umaga went for the running bump butt, but Hardy backed off. Instead of pin balling everywhere, Hardy went right at Umaga and hit some right hands and a drop kick. Hardy eventually hit a mule kick and it sent the big man reeling to the ground. Hardy hit a plancha that resulted in both being laid out on the outside.

Both fought to their feet. Umaga whipped Hardy to the stairs, but missed the follow up. Hardy went to walk the rails but got caught and side walk slammed on the concrete. The official signaled for the bell and what we have here is a double count out.
Winner: Double Count Out

Regal comes out and says One Night Stand is right around the corner and it would consist of all extreme rules matches. Orton and JBL are on the titan tron. Regal said both men wanted rematches from Judgment Day. He said they’d get their chance tonight. If they won, both would get their rematches and they’d get to choose the stipulation. If Triple H and John Cena won the tag match, they would pick the stip.

Regal kept going on before Mr. Kennedy’s music hit and he came down to the ring. Kennedy challenged Regal to a match. Regal said Kennedy didn’t get it. He said he didn’t take challenges from common wrestlers. He said the next person who interrupted him would be fired.

Mr. McMahon’s music hit.

Kennedy mocked Regal until Vince told him to ‘shut up’. Vince said Regal was given 100% endorsement. He said ever since he gave him his endorsement, they have received, as a result of his abuse of power, more viewer complaints than at any other point in their history. Vince said he knew he didn’t care about the people, and he didn’t either, but he DID care about the money. He said for some reason, when he came on the air, the ratings would plummet. So in the interest of fairness, Vince said Regal wanted Kennedy gone. Vince said he did, too.

He said he didn’t like Kennedy but the viewers wanted Regal gone, not Kennedy. So tonight, we’d have a match, Regal v. Kennedy. The loser of the match would be gone.

Beth Phoenix v. Maria
Beth tossed Maria to the mat hard before bullying her into the corner. Beth military pressed Maria and just dropped her like a sack of potatoes. Beth laid Maria out with a backbreaker and stretched it out for some fun.

Maria countered with a quick bulldog for a two count and even tried a roll up but was quickly shoulder tackled to the mat. Maria went for some wheelbarrow move variant and got SMASHED face first to the mat. What an awesome squash.
Winner: Beth Phoenix

Batista v. Chris Jericho
Jericho planted a kick to the face of Batista before getting lifted with ease and planted on the mat for a two count. Batista kept up the pressure, choking Jericho out with his boot in the corner before tossing Jericho across the ring. Jericho whimpered on the ring apron looking like he hurt his knee. Batista doesn’t seem ready to fall for it.

Eventually, Batista caught the spin buster and looked for a Batista bomb but Jericho countered out with the Walls of Jericho. Jericho couldn’t hold the whole hold and ended up in a half crab focused on one limb.

Batista finally reached the bottom rope. Jericho kept kicking away at the leg and hit another chop block after a whiffed clothesline from Batista. Jericho missed a lion sault and he got loaded up for a Batista bomb. Jericho used the ropes to counter out and landed on the apron. He mounted the top rope only to get freaking decapitated with a clothesline from the Animal.

Batista went for the cover for a fantastic near fall. It’s the location pitcher v. the slugger. Great stuff. Jericho got up to his feet in the corner looking drunk. Batista missed a spear. Jericho went for the code breaker but Batista caught him and POWERED HIM UP INTO A BATISTA BOMB and nailed it. Match over.
Winner: Batista

Mr. Kennedy v. King William Regal
Regal slapped on a top wrist lock for a little while before letting the hold go and kneeing Kennedy in the side of the face. Regal ate a boot in the corner before Kennedy exchanged blows with Regal until hitting a wheel kick for a two count.

Regal regained the advantage by throwing Kennedy to the floor and chasing him out to the ringside area. Regal got on the mic and said he was still GM and he was making this match a no disqualification match. He grabbed some knucks from the ring side attendant and chucking Kennedy into the ring steps.

He tossed Kennedy into the ring and loaded up the knucks. Regal waited for the shot and whiffed, and Kennedy hit a mic check out of nowhere. He rolled Regal over and Regal’s toast.
Winner: Mr. Kennedy
