Raw Recap: September 10

Mr McMahon discovered that Hornswaggle is his illegitimate son last Monday on RAW.

The attorney for the son’s mother revealed his identity through a process of elimination, revealing through clues that he was a fair-skinned, fair-haired, former individual champion not on ECW. Many thought this pointed to Triple H, until the attorney declared it to be the Cruiserweight Champion.

McMahon was clearly not pleased at the truth, as he grimaced while Hornswaggle and Triple H had their fun with the chairman. Hornswaggle hugged McMahon’s leg while Triple H put the cruiserweight’s green bowler hat on McMahon’s head.

The only person feeling worse than McMahon may be John Cena. The WWE Champion was banned from appearing on RAW after attacking General Manager William Regal last week. He managed to get in anyway in an attempt to get to Randy Orton, but several security people held him back.

Cena and Orton will face off for the WWE Championship Sunday at Unforgiven. Orton gave the matchup a more personal turn when he attacked Cena’s father from the stands two weeks ago.

London, Kendrick Double Team Cade

Paul London and Brian Kendrick showed they are capable of sneaky tactics as well.

London defeated Lance Cade in a one-on-one match with an illegal assist from Kendrick. It was Trevor Murdoch who helped give them the chance, even if he didn’t mean to.

Murdoch climbed onto the ring apron while London was on the top turnbuckle. While the referee ordered Murdoch to get down, Kendrick snuck in and delivered the Sliced Bread face slam to Cade. London finished the job with a cartwheel slam and the pin.

London and Kendrick will face Cade and Murdoch for the World Tag Team Championships Sunday at Unforgiven.

Tripe H Will Have Hands Full

Carlito couldn’t humiliate Triple H in his match against Shelton Benjamin. But he’ll have a huge advantage against The Game at Unforgiven.

Immediately after Triple H defeated Benjamin, who Carlito chose as his opponent, acting general manager Jonathan Coachman announced his match with Carlito on Sunday will be no-disqualification – for Carlito only.

Coachman let Carlito chose Triple H’s opponent because he’d embarrassed him and Mr. McMahon over the past few weeks. Carlito chose Benjamin because of his multiple victories against Triple H,

He then tried to distract Triple H during the match, after The Game delivered a spinebuster. Triple H kept his eyes on Benjamin, dodged his flying slam into the corner, and hit him with the Pedigree to get the pinfall.

Phoenix Takes Out Three Divas

Mickie James defeated Jillian Hall, but both fell victim to Beth Phoenix after it was over.

With Women’s Champion Candace Michelle at ringside, James delivered the Mick Kick to get the pinfall, only to have Phoenix enter the ring, hit both women from behind and throw them out of the ring. Michelle entered the ring and started throwing punches, but Phoenix took her out with a suplex.

Phoenix will face Michelle for the Women’s Championship at Unforgiven.

Marella Not Making Friends

Santino Marella was less than endearing in his return match on RAW.

The former Intercontinental Champion was disqualified against Sandman when he tried to hit his opponent with his own Singapore cane.

Marella insisted Sandman get rid of the cane before the match started. When Sandman threw him out of the ring during the match and then jumped out after him, Marella went for the weapon.

Afterward, Marella was seen throwing Ron Simmons into a pile of barrels when he saw Simmons with his girlfriend Maria.

SmackDown Presence Felt

The RAW audience got a taste of SmackDown as the Great Khali defeated Jeff Hardy.

Mr. McMahon ordered the match after Hardy announced his delight to not be McMahon’s illegitimate son.

As with most of his opponents, the World Heavyweight Champion appeared to toy with the Intercontinental Champion by throwing him around the ring for two minutes before applying his vice grip on Hardy’s head. Once Hardy passed out, Khali placed one foot on his chest for the pinfall.

But after the match, Batista ran out to the ring and chased Khali out of it. Khali will defend the World Championship against Batista and Rey Mysterio at Unforgiven.
