- From the Rose Garden in Portland, Ore.

- Raw begins with Michael Cole welcoming us to the show, no opening video or pyro, the Undertaker will kick things off.

- Taker gets a good reaction, Cole reiterates that either the Streak, or HBK’s Career, will end at WrestleMania. A “Taker” chant breaks out, followed by a “HBK” chant, Taker says Shawn’s obsession with ending the streak, will ultimately cost him his career. He says after WrestleMania, there will be no tomorrow, and the dark cloud that hangs over Shawn’s head, will stay with him until he dies. Taker says it doesn’t give him any joy to say this, but in 3 weeks, Shawn’s career will “Rest in Pea…..”, Shawn’s music interrupts Taker, Shawn says Taker is right, it has hung over his head like a dark cloud for a year, but when he woke up last Tuesday morning after Raw, the cloud was gone, Shawn said he cost Taker the World Championship because he had to, but Taker didn’t have to interfere in Shawn’s match last week, and that’s when Shawn realized that fear exists in the heart of the Deadman, Shawn says Taker knows he came closer than anyone else in ending the streak, and Taker made Shawn put his career on the line to try and intimidate him, Shawn asks Taker if he really thinks Shawn would put his entire career on the line if he didn’t think he could beat him? Undertaker asks Shawn is he’s looking at someone full of confidence or someone full of pitiful desperation. Shawn says he’s not desperate, he says last year, he would have accepted anything to defeat Taker, count-out, disqualification, anything, but not this year, Shawn proposes a no DQ, no Count-out match, the only way to win is Pinfall or Submission, Undertaker accepts, Shawn tells Taker he is going to kick his teeth down his throat, and beat him. Undertaker says he sees the fire, passion and will in Shawn’s eyes, he says he can look into Shawn’s soul and see that Shawn honestly thinks he can beat Taker at Mania. Taker says that’s what makes Shawn the showstopper, the main event, and Mr. WrestleMania, but Taker says not this year, Taker tells Shawn that in his opinion, Shawn is the greatest that ever stepped foot in this ring, but on March 28th, Taker will open the gates of hell and unleash a fury that no mortal man has ever seen, to make sure, at WrestleMania, Shawn’s career is over. Shawn tells Taker to keep telling himself that, after WrestleMania, the dark cloud will come back, but this time, it’ll be hanging over Taker, and it’s going to follow Taker everywhere, Shawn says Taker will have an image in his head that will haunt Taker for the rest of his life, and that image is of Shawn ending Undertaker’s WrestleMania Undefeated Streak. Shawn leaves the ring and heads up the ramp, he turns and stares at Taker, Taker is furious in the ring.

- Later tonight; Randy Orton vs. Ted DiBiase & Cody Rhodes.

- Plus; Mr. McMahon vs. John Cena.

(1) Six-Diva Tag Team Match – Kelly Kelly, Eve & Gail Kim vs. Divas Champion Maryse, Alicia Fox & Katie Lea Burchill
Eve wins by submission with a rolling armbar on Maryse.

- Later tonight; Triple H addresses Sheamus.

- Tonight’s Guest Host; Criss Angel.

- Criss Angel is backstage with…yup, you guessed it, Hornswoggle & the Bellas. Criss pulls a piece of thread through his eye from inside his mouth. Jillian then comes in and sings, Criss makes her lose her voice, what a thrilling segment.

- Up next; WrestleMania preview, Big Show & The Miz vs. John Morrison & R-Truth.

- Miz gets on the mic before the match and says Morrison and Truth aren’t worthy of competing for the Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania, he says they aren’t even a proper team, he says “shame on you WWE for not finding us better opponents”. Miz tells the fans to take a hard look at him and Show, because they are the least great team in WWE.

(2) Non-Title – Unified WWE Tag Team Champions Big Show & The Miz vs. John Morrison & R-Truth
The match never officially gets underway, I believe the referee disqualified Morrison & Truth as they basically just attacked Miz and Show. After the beat down, Morrison grabs a mic and asks if they still don’t think they’re a real team, he says they just showed Show-Miz how real they can get, Truth says that’s the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

- We are shown a video package of the Batista-John Cena rivalry so far. They face off for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania.

- Josh Mathews is backstage with John Cena. Cena says Batista is right, he can’t beat him, he never has beat him, he broke Cena’s neck, and took his title. Cena says the only thing he can do, is see Batista face–to-face. Mathews asks if he thinks Batista will interfere in Cena’s match with McMahon later, Cena says he’s counting on it.

- Backstage Evan Bourne is talking to Criss Angel; Bourne has a Money in the Bank qualifier later against William Regal. Skip Sheffield from NXT interrupts, he says he is a big fan of Criss, Skip’s mentor, Regal arrives, he tells Bourne he’ll see him in the ring later. Criss then gets Regal to write down a number on a piece of paper and hold it against his chest so that Criss can’t see it, Criss then correctly guesses the number using body language.

(3) Handicap Match – Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase vs. Randy Orton
Orton attacks Legacy during their entrance, Orton is receiving a babyface reaction. Orton is holding his own against Legacy, Legacy occasionally get the upper hand on Orton due to the numbers game, fans begins a “Randy” chant. DiBiase gets a two count after wearing down Orton with a sleeper, Cody back in and gets a two count after a dropkick, Legacy make one timing mistake and Orton takes the advantage with clotheslines and scoop slams on both, Orton hits DiBiase with his inverted backbreaker, Orton stares at the WrestleMania sign and sets up DiBiase for the RKO, Cody distracts Orton, this allows DiBiase to hit Dream Street for the victory, after the match, Cody hits Orton with Cross Rhodes, they then mimic Orton’s raised arm pose, they stare down at Orton and leave, looking very smug.

- Josh Mathews finds Batista backstage, he asks for Batista’s thoughts on Cena’s comments from earlier, Batista says the match is between Cena and Vince, and he will not interfere. He tells Mathews to tell Cena he wishes him look, he says Cena looks like he could do with a confidence boost.

- Still to come; Mr. McMahon vs. John Cena.

- Up next; Triple H.

- Triple H makes his way to the ring. We are shown the footage of Sheamus attacking Triple H at the end of last weeks Raw. Trips says in a funny way, he respects Sheamus for what he did last week, he says if someone had beaten him up in the Elimination Chamber, caused him to lose his title, and give him a concussion at the same time, he’s want to make a statement too. Sheamus cuts him off and makes his way to the ring, he instantly challenges Triple H to a match at WrestleMania, if Trips has the guts. Triple H says Sheamus has had a good first year, but he’s never been to the big dance, Triple H says years back he was in the same situation as Sheamus, he was looking at his first WrestleMania and looking to make a name for himself, and he ended up getting crushed, he says that sent him into a downward spiral and he had to scratch and claw to get out of the hole until HE was the guy who people wanted to make a name for themselves against Triple H, he says a couple have done it and their careers took off, he tells Sheamus to just ask John Cena & Batista, he warns Sheamus that that’s the short list, the long list is of the guys who didn’t beat Triple H and they faded into obscurity. He asks Sheamus if he’s ready to take that gamble, to be immortal or to be nothing, he tells Sheamus to be sure before he makes the gamble. Sheamus backs off but then tries attacking Hunter, Trips prevents it and knocks Sheamus to the outside, they continue to fight on the floor, Sheamus attempts a Bicycle Kick but misses, Trips jumps on Sheamus and they continue to brawl, they fight back in the ring where Trips gives Sheamus a Spinebuster, Sheamus rolls from the ring and retreats up the ramp, they stare each other down. Looks like you can officially add Triple H vs. Sheamus to the WrestleMania card.

- Backstage segment with Criss Angel and Santino. Criss gets Santino to put a sharp knife under a cup, there are 4 cups in total, Criss eliminates them one by one by slamming his hand down on the cups.

(5) John Cena vs. Mr. McMahon
Criss Angel is the ring announcer for this match. McMahon gets on the mic and says the result of this match won’t be an illusion, he says he hopes Bret is watching from home. He tells Cena this won’t be an ordinary match, it will be a handicap gauntlet match. First out is Vladimir Kozlov, Vladimir beats down Cena for a while, McMahon gets the tag in, covers Cena but Cena kicks out. Next out is Drew McIntyre, McIntyre hits the Future Shock DDT, tags McMahon in, but again Cena kicks out, next out is Jack Swagger, back from commercial, Cena has the upper hand on Swagger, Swagger regains the advantage and hits two splashes on Cena, Vince is tagged in but again only a two count, McMahon then brings out Mark Henry, Henry doesn’t look happy about what Vince is making him do, Henry hits the World’s Strongest Slam and tags Vince in, Vince still only gets a two count, Vince then declares that this is a no disqualification handicap match, Vince grabs the ring bell and goes to his Cena with it, Henry tries to stop him, Vince then tells Henry to hit Cena will the bell, Henry refuses and throws the bell out of the ring, Batista then runs to the ring and Spears Mark Henry, Kofi Kingston runs to the ring to try and defend Cena, Batista takes Kingston out with a Batista Bomb, Batista then pulls Cena up from the mat, Cena manages to defend himself and fight Batista off, Cena then changes focus back to McMahon, who has the ring bell, McMahon throws the bell from the ring, Cena scoops Vince up for an Attitude Adjustment, Batista saves Vince by Spearing Cena, Batista then gives Cena a Batista Bomb, Vince covers Cena and picks up the victory. Vince leaves the ring. Batista stands over the fallen Cena, the arena lights drop and there is just a spotlight on Batista, he raises his arms and yells out as Raw comes to a close.
