WWE Raw Results - 20.07.2009
RAW this week starts with Cena out to the ring. He runs down and into the ring very quickly. He absorbs the pop, pointing around to the fans. Cena says the word of the day is excitement. He’s excited, but is always excited. He looks around the WWE Universe is excited. Even the man at home is excited as ZZ Top is hosting RAW. And we’re less than a week away from NOC. He says that because we all know at NOC we’ll see the best match ever. It will be Cena, Orton and HHH for the WHC. He wants to put it in perspective. Two years ago at WM this was the main event. So what this means... Cena is cut off as Orton’s music plays and he stalks down to the ring with the strap over his shoulder. Orton into the ring and Cena glares. Orton stares at Cena through the heat of the crowd. He says he doesn’t understand why Cena’s so excited. Does he remember what happened at WM? He kicked HHH in the skull and pinned Cena for the victory. “Cena” chants. This Sunday history will repeat itself. Cena says he wasn’t paying attention to Orton as the crowd is so great. He’s thrilled with the guest host. He has music on the brain. Orton’s music says he hears voices in his head. That’s a little creepy. Cena doesn’t hear voices in his head, but he hears 10,000 fans and he thinks they’re saying he should get a jumpstart and pound Orton’s face into mush. Cena puts his mic down. Then Orton does the same. Looks like they’ll fight but Orton goes through the ropes to the apron. Orton picks up his mic and says Cena might want to rethink that. Legacy on each side of the ring, on the apron. Cena takes off his shirt and calls for all three. They start to climb in and HHH’s music hits. He stomps down the ramp and they all leave. HHH into the ring and he looks down at Legacy and Orton over by announce. Cena and HHH stare Orton and Legacy down as they leave around the ring and to the ramp. HHH asks if Randy and the girls were about to start a fight without him. He’s a point he never thought he’d get to. He doesn’t care if he wins the championship this Sunday and doesn’t care if Cena wins. All that matters is Orton doesn’t. After what happened with Seth Green. Seth Green who’s the size of... Cena says Horswoggle? HHH says Seth doesn’t have the weight of Hornswoggle. Cena says a hobbit? HHH is confused by that and asks what a hobbit is. Cena says he watches movies. It’s from LoTR. They’re little guys with fuzzy feet who live in trees. HHH says he doesn’t know what hobbits are. Cena says to trust him, hobbit’s what he’s looking for. HHH says Seth Green’s like the size of a hobbit. Point is that a little, tiny man the size of a hobbit punked out Orton last week. The fans love this. Orton asks if they think he’s embarrassed? Orton wants into the match tonight. He wants to join Legacy in facing HHH and Cena tonight. Cena said well played indeed. Under that anger management problem is an evil genius. Orton knows that if he’s in the match there’s no way Cena and HHH can coexist. HHH agrees. They will both be so thinking about making a statement against Orton that they won’t be able to do it. HHH says it won’t happen. Cena says Orton has done a great job of sabotaging the main event. It’s in the star, he asked the magic 8 ball and it said to ask again later but if they were to accept, they would self destruct. But, despite all that... They both said, at the same time - “We accept!”
