Off Air Raw Notes and Heat Results (SPOILERS)

Posted by Andy Clark on 05.15.2007

All of the off camera action from Raw!

Heat spoilers from Hampton, VA

1) Chuck Palumbo defeated Kenny Dykstra with the Big Boot. Dykstra got amazing heel heat being the first guy out there, and Palumbo's motorcycle was over. I've never thought Chuck Palumbo stood a chance as a singles star, but he didn't look bad here.

2) Viscera defeated Eugene with the Boss Man Slam. Crowd was into Visc until they realized he's a heel this week. Eugene was in the process of "Eugening up" when Viscera caught him with the Boss Man Slam off the ropes.

3) The Highlanders defeated Phil Brown and Damien Wayne (announced as Wayne Costel for some reason, despite having "Damien Wayne" written on his tights) with the Scot Drop.

4) Hacksaw Jim Duggan & Cryme Tyme defeated Johnny Nitro & World's Greatest Tag Team when CT hit their finisher on Shelton (I believe). Good Heat main event. Crowd was into the faces big time. JTG played face in peril for most of the match until Shad cleaned house. Cryme Tyme convinced Hacksaw to dance afterwards. Unfortunately Cryme Tyme didn't steal Duggan's 2x4.


After Raw went off the air Randy Orton stood overtop of Shawn Michaels for a LONG, LONG time, just standing there. Finally he picked up HBK and gave him the RKO, and Michaels then rolled out of the ring (Edge had also rolled out of the ring). The ref seemed to signal to Justin Roberts that HBK wouldn't be participating in the dark main event. As Orton celebrated Cena came down and attacked him, having him beat almost instantly. After the 5 Knuckle Shuffle Cena readied himself to give Orton the FU when Edge entered the ring and tried to spear Cena, only to get the FU instead. The WWE Champion then pinned the World Heavyweight Champion. Cena then went over to check on HBK, who after a few minutes got up and decided to no longer be a punk and shake Cena's hand.

Biggest Pops:

1) Ric Flair- We may not be the Carolinas but Virginia is still Flair country
2) Bobby Lashley
3) Shawn Michaels
4) John Cena
5) Edge
