Report by Richard Trionfo, PWInsider

 


 

We start off with a look back at last week’s match between John Cena, Big Show, and Chris Jericho where Jericho got the pin thanks to Big Show. Then we saw DX come to Cena’s aid but it didn’t work out so well.

We are live on tape from Sheffield, United Kingdom and your announcers are Jerry ‘Where is my match against Johnny Saint’ Lawler and Michael ‘Vintage tape delay’ Cole.

Justin Roberts brings out the guest host for tonight’s show, Ricky Hatton. He is joined by the official arm candy of the Raw Guest Hosts, the Bella Twins. Hatton says hello to the fans and he welcomes everyone to Raw. He says that he didn’t have to think about accepting the offer. He talks about the memories that he has in this building and we see highlights. He says that winning the World Title was the best memory of his career. He says that he considers himself to be a fan of the people.

Speaking of people, Chris Jericho and Big Show come to the ring. Jericho and Show get in Hatton’s face and Show says that he had a good breakfast today and it was bigger than Hatton. Show says that it is no big deal knocking people out because he has done it before. Show tells Hatton to get out of their ring before he makes a memory that Hatton will never forget. Hatton asks Show why does he have to be like that. Hatton says that he is a fan of Show, especially when Show got knocked out by one of the boxers. Show says that since Hatton loved that moment, he will give Mayweather the same opportunity, a free shot in the chin. However, after Hatton taps him, he gets to knock Hatton out. He wants to know if Hatton wants a shot at him. Hatton says that he is up to the challenge as soon as he gets a ladder. Show gets down on his knees and he is slightly shorter than Hatton.

Jericho stops Hatton just before he makes contact. Jericho tells the little man to hold it. Jericho says that he will not let Show be embarrassed by another low life boxer. He says that Show already has to worry about the match at Survivor Series. Jericho says that he is at the highest point of his career. He is single handedly responsible for Smackdown’s win at Bragging Rights. He beat John Cena last week. He will beat Undertaker on Friday and then he will win the title at Survivor Series.

Show tells Napoleon Jericho to calm down because he is going to be the one winning the title. Hatton says that are going to wrestle DX tonight. Jericho says that Hatton is just as bad as the rest of the dentally challenged plonkers in the crowd. Jericho mentions the Royal family and calls Queen Elizabeth a hypocrite. Hatton says that he did not understand a word that Jericho said and he tells Jericho to speak their language since they are in England. Jericho says that he will speak slower for the punch drunk Hatton. Hatton tells Jericho to get out of his face.

Show and Jericho surround Hatton but it doesn’t matter because Degeneration X make their way to the ring. Hunter gets on the mic and he wants to know how many times it will take before they interrupt the general managers and get humiliated. Hunter mentions Shaquille O’Neal and Bob Barker. Hunter says that Hatton was about ten seconds from knocking Jericho and Show out. Hunter thanks Ricky for the match and he tells Hatton not to worry about the Honney Monster and Mr. Bean. Shawn doesn’t want to wait and he punches Jericho and Jericho goes to the floor. Show takes off his jacket and rolls up the largest sleeves in Sports Entertainment and he leaves the ring with his tag team partner.

Hunter says that is the way it goes because there is only one Degneration X, just like there is only one Ricky Hatton. Hatton gives us the two words and then they pose.

We go to commercial.
