Undertaker/HBK promo
This week's RAW opened with yet another in a series of WM promos for the HBK/Undertaker match where Shawn Micheals puts his career on the line vs the Undertaker's undefeated streak. I said it before and I will say it again, these two know how to do promos. Now making the match a no dq no countout match is indeed one way to improve on last year's match. I must say it was a great way to start RAW for the night.

Gail Kim, Eve Torres, & Kelly Kelly vs Maryse, Alicia Fox, & Katie Lea Burchill
I will still say it, Maryse is a horrible diva's wrestler. The only reason they gave her the title is because of her look which is wrong. She has no in ring talent whatsoever. Eve Torres seems to be improving her in ring ability every time I see her. From the way this match turned out I would say they are building towards a Maryse/Eve Torres diva's title match at Wrestlemania.

Chis Angel in the back
Criss was in the back talking with Hornswaggle when the Bella twins came up and asked to be his assistants for his demonstration. Criss turned them down but he did do something for them. He took a string off of one of them put it in his mouth and pulled it through his eyeball. WHAT????

Showmiz vs R-Truth & John Morrison
Truth & Morrison earned the right to face Showmiz for the tag team titles at WM so tonight was a little preview of what to expect for that match. I will say this, the name "Truth & Wisdom" was thrown out there as a possible name for the team and I like it. I think that would be a great name for them. Miz came out at the beginning and cut a promo about how there are no more great teams left in the WWE that could challenge Showmiz. So Truth and Morrison went out there and proved him wrong. If what those four did out there was awesome, I can't wait for their match at Wrestlemania.

John Cena promo
John Cena cut a quick promo about what happened with him and Batista last week and his match against Mr. McMahon later on in the night. Short and straight to the point. No hilarity? No witty comments? I don't know about that.

Criss Angel pt 2
The second installment of Angel wowing the crowd. He read Regal's mind in a mind reading demonstration and Skip Sheffield blurted out that Regal owed him a Travis Tritt cd was which was hilarious.

Legacy vs Randy Orton
Now this was a match I thought was going to take place at Wrestlemania. They should have waited until then to have this match because this was actually a great match to watch. All three men were on the ball and even better. If they are still having a match at Wrestlemania, I can't wait to see what they'll do cause tonight's match was great.

HHH/Sheamus confrontation
What a great segment this was. It started out with Sheamus interrupting the Game talking about last week. HHH then cut a great part about Wrestlemania and the short list of people who beat him and the long list of people he beat. It then evloved into a fight between the two that ended with HHH giving Sheamus a spinebuster and him rolling out of the ring. This was a fantastic segment and a great build towards their match at Wrestlemania.

Criss Angel pt 3
Yet another amazing demonstration from Criss. I was glad it was done with Santino. He added a bit of comedy to it with him talking about Ralph Machio and Harry Houdini.

Evan Bourne vs William Regal
The final Money in the Bank qualifier saw Evan Bourne defeating Regal with the Air Bourne. I must say nobody has done the Shooting Star Press better than Evan Bourne. Now he is in the Money In the Bank ladder match where he can really showcase his high flying skills. This year's Wrestlemania is really shaping up to be a great one.

Mr. McMahon vs John Cena
Now earlier in the night Batista gave his word as champion that he would not get involved in this match which we all knew was bull. McMahon changed this match into a gauntlet match which was kinda predictable considering McMahon can't wrestle worth a crap anymore. In all it was a great build not only towards the Batista/Cena match at Wrestlemania but also the Bret Hart/Vince McMahon as well.
