WWE RAW: 10.27.08

*In Memory of Special Delivery Jones*

-We get a video package from Cyber Sunday.

-Cole and the King welcome us to the show.

~Chris Jericho is NOT happy~
Chris Jericho makes his way to the ring, no music and gets announced as the FORMER Champion. He is OFFENDED by this and says Cyber Sunday was the biggest screw job in WWE history and it is all Mike Adamle's fault, as well as ours. We picked a biased referee, he changed the rules, bullied him and worst of all he didn't count when he had the match won. If he was Batista he would be embarrassed to call himself the champion because Batista didn't beat him, an army beat him. Batista, Michaels, Adamle, Austin and all of us. He is dying to get his hands on HBK and Batista tonight. But that isn't good enough, and he needs more. He has a rematch clause and he will use it next week and then regain his title.

Mike Adamle now makes his way out and says to hang on a second. He then says that in order to ensure that there is no outside interference, he has decided to make it a steel cage match. Jericho doesn't seem that happy, and then walks off after bumping into Adamle.

Randy Orton now makes his way to the ring. Orton asks if Adamle is happy with himself. He got sent out here to be an emergency referee, and look what happened. He took a stunner. That Mike is inexcusable. He isn't fully recovered and couldn't defend himself. Orton will make sure that Adamle doesn't get away with it. He then says to Shane and Steph, who he knows are watching, to come to Raw next week and fire Mike Adamle. If they don't, he will walk, he is out of here. He will quit the WWE, and they need him more than he needs them. Either Adamle goes or he goes. He then threatens Adamle and says he will do nothing because he is spineless and a failure. Failed as an interviewer, announcer and now as a GM. He also says he failed as a husband and father likely. Adamle slaps Orton! Orton then leaves and is not happy.


-We see video of the beat down on Punk from Unforgiven.
