Blaze's Flame: Watch this promo be on every show all week long.
The video ends, and Shane has a microphone in his hands. "You know, last week, when RAW went off the air last week, I was approached by Randy Orton's lawyer team. They said that Randy Orton wants to face me at No Way Out, and i've accepted. So this week, its now official. So it will be Randy Orton vs. Shane McMahon in a NO HOLDS BARRED MATCH." Shane says.
"Randy, i'm not gonna be out there to pin your shoulders at No Way Out. I'm looking for some payback." Shane continues. "I'm going to ensure after No Way Out, you will be unable to compete at Wrestlemania." Shane states. Randy Orton comes out to confront him.
Orton doesn't come down to the ring, he stays at the top of the ramp. "You seem..." Orton says, and then takes the heat from the crowd. "Shane, you seem pretty sure of yourself, but after last week, what you pulled off, why wouldn't you be?" Orton says. "I'm just curious, did you ever stop and ask yourself: How did you do it?" Orton asks. "Ask yourself how did you possibly single handly beat up the top three superstars in the WWE?"
"The answer is simple, Shane, you didn't. The second I saw you coming down the ramp last week. I told Ted and Cody..." Orton pauses, an RKO chant breaks out. "I made a deicision, Shane, I told Ted and Cody not to fight back." Orton says. "The tape shows all the evidence, and just like me, they didn't fight back."
"I wasn't looking at you, I was looking at the entire RAW roster behind you. I knew that if we threw one punch, it'd go from 1:3 to 20:3." Orton continues. "Now, its official, No Holds Barred, I can do whatever I want to to you. Because once i'm finished with you at No Way Out...your father is going to have some company." Orton finishes.
Randy starts to make his way down to the ring, but stops before he gets there, turns around, and heads backstage. He turns back and glares at Shane, then decides to walk back down again. Shane gets ready to brawl.
Randy almost gets in the ring, but backs away. Rhodes and DiBiase run in the ring, but Shane pulls a singapore cane out of nowhere and beats the hell out of both of them with it. Legacy quickly backs away. Shane stands tall with the cane in his hand, while Legacy walks backstage.

Blaze's Flame: Awesome promo, I can't wait to see the match, it'll be free if you go to this forum.
1. William Regal and Layla defeated C.M. Punk and Mickey James. Late in the match, Regal caught Punk standing on the ring apron and pulled his legs out from under him. Punk crashed to the floor, barely beat the referee's 10-count, and took a big knee from Regal as he entered the ring. Regal scored the clean pin...
Blaze's Flame: GOOD JOB WWE, HAVE PUNK LOSE TWO WEEKS IN A ROW JUST AFTER WINNING THE TITLE! OH YEAH! -Sarcasm-

2. Cryme Tyme defeated Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase by DQ in 2:45. After some solid back and forth action, the referee called for the bell because the heels were double teaming one of the Cryme Tyme members.

In the ring, Chris Jericho reiterated what he said regarding Mickey Rourke on Larry King Live. He said he respects Rourke's performance and isn't surprised that he backed down when challenged. He said the movie focussed on the has-been wrestlers who try to hang on too long.
Jericho mentioned Roddy Piper, Jimmy Snuka, and said Ric Flair was the inspiration for Rourke's character. He said Flair is selling his autographs in high school gymnasiums and is doing interviews with low-rent websites. He said Flair is selling his name to anyone who will write a paycheck and it's absolutely pathetic.
Jericho said Flair has a sickness and he's not alone. He said he is begging WWE to revoke the Hall of Fame status of those wrestlers. Suddenly, a voice cried out, "Enough, enough, enough."
John Cena appeared on the big screen. He said Jericho does the same thing every week by going to the ring in his suit and saying he has some big point to prove. He said Jericho feels that those guys need to let go of the past, yet he's the first person to remind everyone that he was the first Undisputed Champion. "Every word you say makes me more and more angry," Cena said.
Cena said there are certain things he believes in and Jericho crosses the line on every one of them. "Tonight we have a match and you need to be shut up," Cena said. "So I'm going to shut you up the only way that I know how. I'm going to knock your teeth down your throat."
Blaze's Flame: Fuck you too Cena (No Homo)
3. Rey Mysterio and Kofi Kingston vs. Kane and Mike Knox. Before the match, still shot photos aired of "Monstrous Mike Knox" (courtesy of Cole) winning a battle royal to earn a spot in the Raw Elimination Chamber match. They cut to commercial less than a minute into the match.
After the break, Mysterio worked over Kane with a series of offense. Kane tagged Knox into the match and Cole referred to him as "Monstrous" again. No!
Kofi tagged in and hit some flashy offense on Knox before running into a big boot for a solid nearfall. Unlike Matt Morgan, Knox didn't fall down when he delivered the big boot. Later, Kofi crawled to the corner for a tag, but Kane caught Rey with a high kick that knocked him off the apron.
Late in the match, Kofi got on a roll, but he dove over the top toward Knox, who squatted down and stuck his knee out for Kofi to crash on. Ouch. Cool spot. Knox reached up and stopped Rey from hitting the 619. Rey springboarded off the top rope, but jumped right into the arms of Kane, who chokeslammed him and scored the pin. The cameras stuck with Rey and Kofi after the match as they sold the attack...
A backstage shot aired of Shane and Stephanie McMahon walking together. Legacy attacked Shane and knocked Steph into the wall in the process. They beat up Shane in a three-on-one attack. Security ran in to help, but Legacy fought them off. Orton sized up Shane for the big kick, but stopped and turned his attention to Steph.
Orton went for the big kick on Steph, but Shane lunged in front of his sister and took the kick in the ribs for her. Several agents ran into the picture and told Orton and his minions to back off. "Shane, are you okay?" Steph asked... [C]
A commercial for WWE pay-per-view ended with the line, "You should have been there"... Cole and Lawler recapped the Legacy attack on Shane. Lawler quested whether Orton has completely snapped since he was going to kick Stephanie rather than Shane...
The announcers ran through the the pay-per-view lineup. It didn't take them long since there are only three matches announced...
A WrestleMania moment video focussed on WM10 and the Bret Hart vs. Owen Hart match...
4. Beth Phoenix (w/Santino Marella, Rosa Mendez) defeated Candice Michelle in 2:35. Beth used her finisher to score the clean pin. After the match, Rosa flipped out, grabbed Candice by the hair, and threw her out of the ring...
A shot aired of Chris Jericho warming up backstage... At ringside, the announcers hyped that Ric Flair will appear on Raw next Monday night. "The man is back," Lawler stated... [C]
Lawler thanked Saliva for providing the official No Way Out theme... JBL music played and his limo pulled into the arena. He walked to the ring as the announcers recapped video footage of the Shawn Michaels vs. John Cena match from last week. JBL stood in the ring and stared ahead after his music stopped playing to elicit boos from the crowd.
JBL said he was there to provide a performance appraisal of Shawn Michaels. HBK's music played and he made a separate entrance. He simply stared ahead at JBL and walked to the ring without doing any of his usual entrance routine.
JBL said the only reason he hired HBK was so that he could go to WrestleMania 25 as the World Hvt. Champion. JBL said the question is whether HBK lived up to his end of the bargain. Shawn said he's done so many things he's not proud of since he went to work for JBL. He ran through some of those things while making his case.
"The answer is no," JBL said regarding whether Michaels lived up to his end of the deal. He said he would release HBK from his contract right now if that's what Shawn wants. Shawn said what he wants is to kick JBL's teeth down his throat. "Sure you do," JBL said. He said that if Shawn does that, he loses his job and goes bankrupt. Most importantly, JBL said, Shawn would cause his family to suffer.
Shawn asked JBL what he wants from him. "I'll make you a proposal," JBL said. "You versus me at No Way Out," JBL said. He said it was winner take all. If JBL wins, he'll pay Michaels everything he owes him and his family will never have to worry again. "But if I win, I own you," JBL said. "Not you, your name. I own the Heartbreak Kid, I own Shawn Michaels, and you work for me for the rest of your life."
JBL said Shawn would have to endorse Layfield Energy. He said that if he wanted to name a restaurant after HBK and make him dance like a monkey in front of him. "I own the name Shawn Michaels when I win and it will be property of JBL Enterprises," he said. "You always said 'I got myself into this and I'll get myself out,' so now is your chance." JBL said that if Shawn lost the match at No Way Out, he would get absolutely nothing. "Do you want to roll the dice?"
After JBL finished his rant, Shawn said, "I accept." JBL said Shawn wasn't allowed to touch him until then or the deal was off the table. JBL poked HBK in the chest repeatedly as he ran through the risk of the match for Michaels. He taunted him repeatedly and said, "There's no way you can beat the wrestling god." JBL slapped HBK across the face. HBK trembled and turned sideways as if to set up for Sweet Chin Music, but he left the ring without putting his hands on JBL...
Backstage, a stressed out Stephanie McMahon asked whether he spoke to someone. "He'll be here," Kane said. Steph announced that Kane is in the Elimination Chamber match, and Undertaker will face Randy Orton on next week's Raw...
5. John Cena vs. Chris Jericho. Cena stormed the ring and opened the match with a flurry of offense on Jericho. However, Jericho came back and kicked Cena onto the announcers' table before the show went to break. [C]
