Live from Atlanta, GA

- Raw starts out with a recap of last week's show.

- Edge is in the ring cutting a promo. He is sitting on top of a ladder with 2 tables and some chairs set up in the ring. Lita is not with Edge. A video is now being shown with highlights of Edge in various TLC matches. John Cena runs in the ring and gives Edge the FU through a table.

- Backstage Jeff Hardy was painting a wall with white paint. Maria asked him what he was doing. He said he was watching the Melina and Nitro press conference from last week. Maria said it looked like he was watching paint dry. Hardy said exactly.

(1) IC title match: Jeff Hardy vs. Johnny Nitro (with Melina). My friend in Colorado saw a commercial for the ECW house show in Pueblo during Raw and they advertised RVD vs Big Show and Sabu vs Kurt Angle in a hardcore match. This match is not very good at all. Hardy has botched several moves. There is a "RIP Croc Hunter sign" in the crowd. Hardy wins by DQ after Melina stopped the referee from counting 3, following the Twist of Fate. After the match Hardy gave Nitro the Swanton Bomb.

- They advertised that Trish will say goodbye to the fans tonight.

- They showed this week in wrestling history. The debut of WCW Nitro from the Mall of America.

They did confirm Big Show vs. DX in a handicap tomorrow night on ECW.

(3) Winner gets a tag team title shot at Unforgiven: Lance Cade and Trevor Murdoch vs. The Highlanders vs. Big Vis and Charlie Haas. Before the match starts, the Spirit Squad comes down to ringside to observe the contest. The Highlanders win and become the #1 contenders.

- Backstage, Trish and Carlito talked about Randy Orton. Carlito said he is tired of being dissed by Orton, and said Orton isn't a legend killer, but just a fraud.

- As the announcers talk at ringside, Ric Flair's music hit. Maria, who is in the ring, eye's the "Nature Boy." Flair is glad to be back in Atlanta, and plants a big kiss on Maria. Estrada comes out and interrupts Flair. He wants Flair to pass the torch to Umaga. Flair says "no." Umaga comes out, followed by Kane. Umaga and Kane go after each other in the ring.

(4) Edge, Randy Orton and Lita vs. Cena, Carlito and Trish Stratus. Orton RKO's Trish, allowing Lita to pin Stratus for the victory.

They plugged Vince vs. HHH for next week's Raw, live from Madison Square Garden.

Pretty good overall show tonight, I really enjoyed it.. Flipped back and forth between Raw and Miami/Fla State.. I personally thought Raw was better than the game.
