Special thanks to WNW Reader Marc for the following report:
Airdate: New Years Eve - December 31, 2007
Dark Matches & Heat Taping:
- Nick Nemeth vs. Brian Kendrick. Kendrick got the win in a pretty dull match.
- Super Crazy vs. Snitsky. Snitsky wins in a pretty quick match.
- Davis Owens vs DH Smith. DH got the win and was surprisingly over with the crowd.
- Drew McEntyre vs. Charlie Haas. Drew gets the win in a match that saw Charlie wear a luchador mask.
-Hardcore Holly vs Trevor Murdoch. Holly gets the win and a nice pop.
- Here comes JR and the King to open RAW...
- Ric Flair video airs highlighting his career.
- Randy Orton Video airs highlighting his year in 2007.
- Randy Orton comes out for a promo. Jeff Hardy comes out and shows clips of him getting the pinfall on RAW two weeks ago. Hardy ends up reversing a RKO and laying Orton out with his own RKO.
- Another Ric Flair video
Next week on Raw: The Raw Roulette. Superstars will spin a wheel and wrestle in various WWE gimmick matches.
- The Hardys are backstage... Matt asked if Jeff wins the WWE Title at the Rumble, if Matt could have a title shot if Jeff wins at Royal Rumble... Jeff says yes, lets go talk about it and they walk off...
- HBK vs. Mr. Kennedy. Typical match between the two. Kennedy gets the win with a clean pin.
- Backstage with Regal, Vince, & HHH... If HHH loses, he can't compete in the Royal Rumble.
- Backstage with Jillian Hall, Ron Simmons, & Big Dick Johnson. Dick is dancing... we get a DAMN!
- Backstage with Vince and Regal... Vince says Regal vs Hornswoggle tonight is announced.
- Tribute To The Troops video shows
- Umaga defeats Hacksaw Jim Duggan in a Royal Rumble qualifying match.
- Backstage segment with Flair and Vince McMahon. Vince told Flair its over for him and his career tonight.
- JBL return video airs.
- JBL makes his return to RAW, coming in a limousine to ringside. Lots of balloons and confettie come down from the rafters. JBL comes out and talks about power. Y2J's music hits and he attacks JBL and the two begin to brawl. The refs come down and break it up.
- Small intermission while they clean the debris...
- Beth Phoenix retains the WWE Women's Title against Mickie James in a good match.
- Regal vs Hornswoggle ends in a No contest... Vince gave Regal brass knuckles and told him to use them. Regal couldn't so Hornswoggle runs up the ramp. Vince comes in and berates Regal who then leaves. Vince said it was a test for Regal to see how he would do.
- Jeff Hardy video promo
- Jeff Hardy vs. Santino Marella. Match starts off and Orton comes on the TitanTron while the match is going on and beats up Matt Hardy in the back... Orton kicks Matt in the head... Jeff leaves the match to help Matt and is shown backstage tending to Matt with the refs.
- Triple H vs. Ric Flair. Huge pop as expected for Flair who is introduced last. Both men hit their signature moves. Flair locks on the figure four for a few minutes. I'm not sure, but I think it was Vince McMahon or Regal who came down and interfered, causing Flair to win by DQ.
Dark Main Event
Jeff Hardy and Chris Jericho defeated Randy Orton and JBL when Hardy hit his Swanton Bomb. Good match.
