RAW this week starts with King and Cole talking about later matches.
Batista comes out to the ring to huge pop. Santino comes out, with Beth in tow, to face him. Santino has a mic and stops on the stage. He calls Batista the manimal. He calls for the Honk-A-Meter. He only has 58 weeks left before he becomes the best IC Champion of all time. He then had the Brain Barometer. “Batista” chants. The brain has an average of 6 trillion brain cells. Santino has 10 trillion, Batista has all of 12 (not trillion, just 12) and he’s going to knock out ten. He then says he’s going to leave Batista worse than the US economy.
Batista quickly gains control in a couple corners then with a spinebuster. Batista bomb and Batista covers for three.
– Winner: Batista
Beth gets on the apron and talks smack to Batista. He smirks at her. But he sees her looking behind him and turns – right into a clothesline from hell by JBL. JBL leaves Batista prone in the ring.
Out back Grisham is with HBK. He asks about Cade. HBK said ten years ago when he trained Cade he knew he was good. He didn’t know he’d show the world at HBK’s expense. He then tells Y2J he has 6 days to be champion as HBK will be taking the title at NM.
Grisham asks if Batista will tag with HBK tonight. HBK says he has his hands full tonight. He asks about HBK and a Texas Rattlesnake? What about a man who calls himself the best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be. He decides he went to far there. He then said he wants to find a partner that likes him.

She says that of Layla doesn’t want to be seen with him, why would someone ten times hotter?
Dolph Ziggler shows up and introduces himself to them.

Cody, Manu and Ted are lurking out back looking for someone. They find him and Cody says he’ll do the talking. It’s Kane. He says he knows that he’s not a tag team type of guy. But his father is Paul Bearer, so that makes him second generation like them (interesting spin to try to bring him into the fold for this match). Cody says if they act as a unit they should be okay for their match.
Ted says they didn’t ask for the match, but want to make sure they’re all on the same page.
Kane turns and smirks. He says he doesn’t take orders from anyone. He’s going to massacre Rey whether they’re on the same page or not. If they stay out of his way there won’t be a pile of second generation carcasses laying around the ring. He’s off to see his good friend Adamle.
Video of HBK in the ring last week. He turned to face Y2J and that gave Cade the chance to get the win.
Cade comes out to the stage with mic in hand. He says we just saw he was the man who beat his one time mentor HBK. Truth be told in the last three months he learned more from Y2J than he learned from HBK in ten years. Last week is proof that Y2J is a better teacher, better influence and a better man all around. “You suck” chants. Cade says he could care less who HBK’s partner is because either he’s going to lose to Cade as he did last week or to Y2J as he will at NM. After NM Y2J will still be champion.
Punk comes out to the ring for a match. Rey comes out to join him. Rey is wearing an over mask (more of a hood than a mask) that’s a skull. He takes it off and gives it to a kid. Video of Kane taking Rey down hard last week.
– Commercial
Kofi and Evan have joined Rey and Punk in the ring. Cody, Ted and Manu come out to the ring together. They stay outside the ring to wait for their fourth. Kane then comes out and enters the ring without even glancing at the three others. Kane stares at Rey and the three heels skirt the ring and enter on the other side.
Manu starts beating down Evan. Evan comes back with kicks, but a big forearm to his back slows down Evan. Rey helps take Manu out as he tags in. Rey sends Evan over the top and it all falls apart. Kofi and Punk fly out simultaneously, then Rey flies out and takes down Kane. Everyone gets involved and bodies are flying.
– Commercial

Adamle is in the ring and waits too long before talking. He says earlier Kane made a request tonight. He said he’d grant it based on if he won tonight. He did, so Adamle is honoring it. If Kane wins at NM then Rey has to remove his mask in the ring (even though Ray has already done that once in his career).
Orton’s music and he slowly comes to the ring. Orton asks if Adamle has his cell phone on him.
Adamle asks what he means.
Orton says he always has to clear everything through Shane. Or is it scheduled between shining Shane’s shoes and picking up his dry cleaning? Orton says he doesn’t like that Shane over turned Punk being suspended and Adamle needs to re-suspend Punk. When Orton is back he’ll be running things like he used to. If Orton’s not on Adamle’s side he won’t be happy. He’d rather have Orton on his side than Shane.
JBL comes out and says he’s pissed about this week. He’s lost more money this past week, but luckily he has a lot more. His wife is one of the most powerful women in the world and will testify in front of congress. Next week JBL will beat Batista then face the title holder and beat him. JBL is living in the here and now, where is Orton living? Orton, the youngest World Title holder, the hottest commodity. JBL wants Adamle to make a stipulation that when JBL wins the title Orton never gets a shot at his title.
Batista’s music. Orton and Adamle bolt from the ring. JBL waits for Batista to come down, but Batista shows up behind him. JBL turns around and Batista takes him down. Batista grabs a mic and says he knows JBL’s had a bad week, but it’s going to get a lot worse.
Santino is out back on his cell phone. He’s obviously talking to a girl. He asked how she got his number. Then he runs into Beth who is around a corner. He then calls the person on the phone Frank. He gets off the phone quickly. Beth asks who he was talking to. He says a sick kids Frankie who he promised ot win the match for. He then says he’ll walk her to the ring. She doesn’t want him to as he cost her the match last week. He says it’s a good thing Beth doesn’t have a Moolah-A-Meter or Beth would be about 22 years behind. He then said he didn’t want to go to the ring and it must be a female problem.
Kelly and Candy are out back heading for the ring.

Y2J’s music and he comes out with Cade in tow. HBK comes out to the ring next. Y2J enters with a mic and Cade stays outside the ring. Huge heat from the crowd. He says when he came in today someone actually had the audacity to wish him luck this Sunday. That makes him mad as he doesn’t need luck, doesn’t want luck. He’s better than HBK. He has Cade pull out a ladder to show what he’s going to do to HBK. He says he’ll pound HBK’s head with the ladder. Cade bounces the ladder off the ring post and then the stairs. He’s then going to put HBK’s head between the ladder and slam it on him again and again. Then he’ll pick it up and cave in his rib cage like this – he slams the ladder’s top down over and over. He will win at NM. He doesn’t need luck. This is what he thinks of luck – he walks under the ladder.
– Commercial
HBK comes out to the stage and stops. Cade and Y2J want to know what’s going on. Finally, after a long pause DX’s music hits.
