WWE Monday Night Raw 7th Apr 08 review

William Regal bores us on the mic. Set up for Randy Orton vs JBL @ Backlash.

Umaga vs Val Venis. Val's still running that same tired old gimmick from 4 years ago? My money was on Val to job here. Yep, Umaga won. no shock there.

Diva Tag Match, Melina & Jillian Hall vs Ashley & Mickie James. Ashley was doing ok until she no-sold the front face slam from Melina. Mickie James took the win with a lovely DDT. These girls are improving ;-)

Tag Match, Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch vs Brian Kendrick & Paul London. This match started nicely, London's dropkick into a moonsault was excellent. Cade & Murdoch were all power with London selling well for them. Kendrick took the good win off a very fast inside cradle. Those 2 are certainly fun to watch!

2 on 1 Handicap Match, HHH vs Randy Orton & JBL. Nothing exciting. HHH got a very predictable win.

Tag Match, Hardcore Holly & Cody Rhodes vs Carlito & Santino Marella. Awful match, Santino took the win. Worst match of the night by far.

Maria vs Beth Phoenix. No belt on the line here though. This was quite a decent match. Phoenix wasn't willing a to sell a couple of Maria's moves but they both looked pretty good. Phoenix took the win.

Jericho bores us on the mic with Batista & Shaun Micheals.

2 on 1 Handicap Match - John Cena vs JBL & HHH. This was all JBL vs Cena really with JBL refusing to tag HHH in then when Cena made any offensive HHH refused to take the tag-in, stepping back so JBL couldn't reach him. HHH & JBL came to blows, JBL hit Orton accidently. Orton RKO'd JBL as the ref was moving HHH out of the ring, Cena threw him out & took the easy pin making it a fatal 4-way for the title @ Backlash. This was certainly better than the 1st 2 on 1 Handicap Match by a long haul. The best RAW I've seen recently.
