Tonight ladies and gentlemen... every championship on Raw will be defended including the World Heavyweight Championship where 4 of the greatest stars on Raw will enter the squared circle! Well let's not waste anytime... let's hit the ring for some opening action!!
Jeff Hardy vs. Carlito They locked up, with Carlito taking Hardy down w/ a snapmare. Hardy came back with an inside cradle for the first near fall, but Carlito caught him with a backslide soon after. Carlito kipped up uniquely, but Hardy grabbed a headlock. Hardy knocked him down with a shoulder tackle. An awkward sequence followed as Carlito tried to leapfrog Hardy, but it didnt fly. Carlito recovered and dropkicked him in the knee. He continued to build momentum with a back elbow smash and a vertical suplex. Hardy came back with a dropkick to the gut and a clothesline. At that point, they looked a little rusty, but they picked it up when Hardy dodged a Carlito springboard moonsault and connected on a spinning mule kick that sent CCC out of the ring. Carlito tried to get back in the ring, but Hardy caught him with a baseball slide. Hardy then went out and tried to run the rail and come off with a diving clothesline, but Carlito connected on a mid-air dropkick. Back in the ring, Carlito regained complete control with a chinlock, but Hardy backed him into the corner to break the hold and mounted him for several punches. He tried to follow with a double stomp, but Carlito got his feet up and nailed Hardy in the gut. Looking to work on the mid-section, CCC settled on a reverse bear hug. Hardy regained his footing and awkwardly scored with his unique jawbreaker. He tried to follow with the Twist of Fate, but Carlito countered and pushed him into the turnbuckle. Carlito followed with a quick roll-up for a near fall before synching in the reverse bear hug again. Hardy eventually made it to the ropes, but Carlito didnt let up. Carlito took Hardy down with a snapmare takeover and followed with a jumping leg drop for a near fall. He then locked on the reverse bear hug, yet again, as the crowd started a boring chant. Hardy came back and battled out of the move, but Carlito caught him with a stalling flapjack for another near fall. He followed with a backbreaker and then heelishly went back to a rest hold. Hardy got to his feet again, but another awkward sequence followed, as the champ scored with a DDT. Jeff made his comeback with a series of clotheslines and a running One and Only. He then hit a suplex into a facebuster for a near fall and went for the Swanton Bomb, but Carlito got his knees up and nearly put the match away. Hardy kicked out and Carlito connected on a springboard rolling Senton followed quickly by a Lionsault for a near fall. Carlito eventually tried for a springboard cross body, but Hardy countered and went for the Twist of Fate. Carlito countered and pushed Hardy into the corner, but Jeff leaped up to the top rope and came off with the Whisper of the Wind for another near fall. Jeff headed to the top rope again, but Carlito caught up to him. Carlito mocked the champion and went for a top rope hurricanrana, but Hardy countered and sent Carlito crashing face first into the mat. Still on the top rope, Hardy came off and connected with the Swanton Bomb! Cover.............1................2..................3!! And Jeff wins it tonight!!
