RAW Results 5/17 – Commercial Free RAW, New US Champion!

Backstage Josh Matthews has a promo with John Cena. Josh asks Cena about his "questionable" decisions lately and asks Cena to respond. Cena says he won’t give critics time and says he still calls out to the Cenation. He says win or lose over the years, he has never made a promise he couldn’t come through on. Cena says he is facing Sheamus tonight because he wants to take him out of the picture for Sunday. He challenged Batista to an I Quit match because he wants to make sure whoever wins is the best man. He says he chose the stipulation because if he actually quit, he wouldn’t deserve to be champion again. He says he will make Batista say "I Quit" and the champ will still be here. Typical Cena promo.

Pick Your Poison

Randy Orton vs ???

Orton waits to see who his opponent will be and it’s… The World Heavyweight Champion, Jack Swagger! 

Swagger and Orton trade ground holds and then face off in the middle before Swagger rams his shoulder into Orton’s midsection. Orton fights back and hits the stepover backbreaker and stomps away at Swagger. He misses a kneedrop and Swagger clothesline him for a two count. Swagger takes it back to the ground with a sleeperholdas Orton fights to stay on his feet. He clotheslines Swagger and waits for a scoop slam, and Swagger ducks out of the ring. Orton goes for the DDT from the ropes, but Swagger hits a big slam out and dumps Orton on his head. Swagger runs to the corner and hits two Vader bombs and Orton rolls outside as the referee starts his count. Orton tries getting back in but Swagger shoves him off the apron into the announcing table. Swagger rolls Orton back in the ring, and gets a two count as Orton somehow kicked out. Swagger went for another Vader Bomb but Orton jumped up and kicked Swagger in the stomach. Orton scoop slams Swagger down and sets up the "Vintage" DDT again. He hits it and lines up for the RKO, until Edge rushes the ring and gets Swagger DQ’d. Orton hits the RKO on Swagger but walks right into a Spear by Edge, and the Rated R Superstar stands over Orton.

Winner by DQ – Randy Orton 

Justin Roberts is standing in the ring and introduces Buzz Aldrin. Buzz says he has been having a great time and puts over the space program. He says they need new rockets and spacecrafts and that Canada built the landing gear that was on the moon landing shuttle. Buzz says he loves Monday Night RAW, then gets interrupted by Zack Ryder. Ryder says the radio told him the moon landing was fake. He says he would rather be homeless in America then eating moose meat in Canada WOO WOO WOO. Buzz says the last guy who second guessed the moon landing got punched out by him. They roll video of some guy talking smack to Buzz and calling him a liar and a coward and then Buzz decks the guy. He tells Ryder not to worry, because he won’t do it, but has someone who will and introduces Evan Bourne & Gail Kim. 

Zack Ryder & Alicia Fox vs Evan Bourne & Gail Kim 

Ryder taunts Bourne and gets kicked in the face. Bourne hits a sunset flip and walks into a snapping neckbreaker. Bourne keeps the pace fast and tries rolling up Ryder and the girls break up the pin. Gail hits a missile dropkick on Alicia for two. Gail kicks Alicia into Ryder and then goes after Alicia. She ducks and Ryder pulls down the rope and Gail falls out of the ring. Ryder says he didn’t do anything and the crowd really gets on him for this. Bourne gets back in and hits a jumping knee to Ryder’s head and goes for the Shooting Star Press, but Alicia throws him out of the way. Bourne dives off the top onto Ryder and Gail Kim hits the Eat Defeat on Alicia for the win.
