Less than a month after making his return to WWE, Jeff Hardy has the opportunity to wear WWE gold around his waist when he takes on Johnny Nitro for the Intercontinental Championship tonight on RAW.

The returning Hardy earned his title match when he defeated "The Legend Killer" Randy Orton last week on RAW. After the match, Intercontinental Champion Johnny Nitro told WWE.com that Hardy's unique in-ring style may actually hinder the challenger more than help him.

“Jeff Hardy thinks he can take the Intercontinental Championship from me. He thinks he’s a risk taker – maybe an adrenaline junkie, a thrill-seeker of sorts – but what he doesn’t realize is I’m smarter than that. I take calculated risks, he takes uncalculated risks, and that’s what’s gonna cost him his shot at the title,” declared a resolute Nitro.

Will Hardy's risk-taking cost him on Monday night? Or will Nitro's comments prove wrong? Find out on RAW.

DX Destroyed?
Mr. McMahon sent a vicious message to DX last week on RAW. After recruiting SmackDown’s Sir William Regal, U.S. Champion Finlay, Mr. Kennedy and ECW’s Big Show to wear down Shawn Michaels and Triple H, the Chairman finished the job off with the help of his trusty lead pipe. He left D-Generation X in the ring in a puddle of their own blood with a message that the McMahons were ready for a rematch — in a Hell in a Cell Match with Big Show on the McMahons’ side. How will DX respond to the Chairman’s latest attempt to destroy them?

Advant-Edge?
After accepting John Cena’s challenge for a match at Unforgiven – with the stipulation that will send Cena to SmackDown for three years if he loses – Edge said he agreed only if he was able to choose the type of match.

During Cena’s match with Chris Masters on RAW, The Rated R Superstar interrupted and attacked Cena with tables, ladders and chairs. He then informed his challenger that at Unforgiven, it would be a Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match — a match Edge has never lost and one that Cena has never competed in. Unforgiven is also being held in the champion’s hometown of Toronto, Canada. Are the odds too great for Cena to overcome? Will Edge send his archrival to SmackDown?

Romance Killer
Two weeks ago on RAW, Carlito got involved in Randy Orton’s match with Ric Flair. For payback, Orton blasted Carlito and Trish Stratus against a wall while the two were sharing a romantic moment. Carlito responded to that by spitting an apple into Orton’s face during the Legend Killer's No. 1 Contender Match against Jeff Hardy, inadvertently costing Orton the match. In their game of one-upmanship, how will the Legend Killer respond?

To find out the answers, watch RAW at 9/8 CT only on the USA Network.

[Mr. JL]

I'll watch the Nitro-Hardy match; I don't really care for anything else really.

[St. Jimmy]

I'll watch the Nitro-Hardy match; I don't really care for anything else really.

[ClockShot]

Sounds like a pretty bland raw tonight. Then again it's been bland for the past year or so with a good show here and there.

[Evil Vito]

<font color=goldenrod>A new tag team called Cryme Tyme will be debuting on Raw tonight, parodying racial stereotypes.</font>

[Caged Heat18]

Good evening.

[St. Jimmy]

Here we go! I'm totally not feeling it tonight. =/

[Destor]

SHold be good

[ClockShot]

Here we go! I'm totally not feeling it tonight. =/

Agreed. It seems we're missing a few of the regulars tonight.


Good evening everyone!

[St. Jimmy]

BAHGAWD there in DUBBASEEDUBBA COUNTRY.

[St. Jimmy]

lol. CW plug.

[Azriel]

Evening folks, let's get ready for some mediocrity

[Petethegeekstreet]

Cena will go to sd

[St. Jimmy]

Atleast Edge is opening the show. That makes me care.

[Destor]

Where

[mike627]

Edge now that's how you sholud open a wrestling show with your champion!

[St. Jimmy]

LMAO. I love how they got Don LaFontaine to do this promo!

[owenbrown]

I have a scary feeling that Cena is gonna regain the title. :shifty: :'(

[Destor]

Where are they?

[ClockShot]

Hey. Isn't this the guy from the new Geico commercial?

[Caged Heat18]

Cool little video package presented by Edge.

[mike627]

damn,that was a good trailer!

[St. Jimmy]

Where are they?

HOTlanta.

[St. Jimmy]

*sigh* I hate that I saw that coming, and it STILL looked like abosolute shit.

[Caged Heat18]

Nice opening.

[Caged Heat18]

Why is it a must win for Cena? He still will have a job with the same company. Oh yeah thats right, we've been taught Raw is the A show and Smackdown is the B show.

[owenbrown]

Edge cuts a promo on a ladder, Cena attacks him, F-U's him on the table. Yawn. :shifty:

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Wid JR just call a table a chair??? What the hell? Wrestling moves and names are one thing, but miscalling an everyday object that is nothing like the other one?

[What Would Kevin Do?]

Opening segment wasn't horrible. Also, it only took 10 minutes, which could have been much worse.

Also, is "Cryme Time" really debuting tonight? They may or may not be the shit.

[Petethegeekstreet]

WTF

[ClockShot]

Bummer. No MNF tonight. Gotta find something else to go to between commercials.

[Destor]

Jeff HArdy sucks

[What Would Kevin Do?]

WHOOO!! Hardy sniffing paint!

[owenbrown]

Maria :drool:

[Azriel]

MARIA!!! :drool:

[ClockShot]

IC title match is first. This a good thing or a bad thing right now?

[Destor]

Dead heat for Hardy

[St. Jimmy]

Goth Sabu time.

[Skippord]

Jeff thinks the paint IS the press conference

[mike627]

Why is it a must win for Cena? He still will have a job with the same company. Oh yeah thats right, we've been taught Raw is the A show and Smackdown is the B show. sorry,SD is the c show and rightfully so.

[Savio]

Can't believe JR called the table a chair.

[St. Jimmy]

This could either be a great match, or it's going to be horrible. No midway.

[6to1]

i guess watching paint dry is a inside joke for jeff, just don't put him in the same car with rvd.

[St. Jimmy]

Was that the Rock with long hair?!

[Petethegeekstreet]

ECW is the C show to who ever said otherwise. But I enjoy it the most.

[mike627]

I guess after that bad promo last week, they have decided to abort nitros title run.

[Kane Knight]

Okay, I missed the first 14 minutes or so. Anyone want to fill me in?

[Petethegeekstreet]

ECW is the C show to who ever said otherwise. But I enjoy it the most.Because making fun of shit is fun to me.

[owenbrown]

Next Question. :shifty:

[St. Jimmy]

Okay, I missed the first 14 minutes or so. Anyone want to fill me in?

Edge promo talking about how Cena can't beat him in a TLC match at Unforgiven (9/17) from on top of a Ladder. There's a table, chair, and ladder setup in the ring. Cena slides in the ring, Edge tries to crossbody - Cena catches and FU's him through a table.

Hardy vs. Nitro starts. Still going.

[ClockShot]

Nice combo.

[Skippord]

Ouch to that backbreaker

[St. Jimmy]

This match isn't half bad.

[Azriel]

Doing well

[ClockShot]

A near botch?

[St. Jimmy]

Standing SSP.

[St. Jimmy]

... Standing Moonsault? Fuck you JR.

[Azriel]

Melina's probably gonna screw Jeff over. Jeff goes up for the Seanton bomb, knocks him off the rope, something like that

[St. Jimmy]

BOOOO. Fuck the obvious ending. =/

[Destor]

Good match, they did a great job controlling the crowd. With PPV time this may be good.

[Petethegeekstreet]

Not bad

[Azriel]

Well, I was close

[ClockShot]

Not a bad opener. Could have been better.

[St. Jimmy]

"Johnny Monday Nitro"? Dude, I think JR needs medical help.

[St. Jimmy]

I'm not watching ECW tomarrow. =)

[Savio]

Okay, I missed the first 14 minutes or so. Anyone want to fill me in?Jeff hardy was sniffing paint.

[owenbrown]

"Johnny Monday Nitro"? Dude, I think JR needs medical help.

It's official: Vince's senility has started to rub off on JR.

[Petethegeekstreet]

ECW: Taking terrible to the EXTREME.

[ClockShot]

Wow. The first nitro. I remember this well.

[owenbrown]

I'm not watching ECW tomarrow. =)

You watch, HHH will try to make it for the title too. :shifty:

[Destor]

First Nitro. good times

[St. Jimmy]

You watch, HHH will try to make it for the title too. :shifty:

I don't doubt it.

[Kane Knight]

What was the name of the band they're using?

[St. Jimmy]

*yawn* let them fight.

[Kane Knight]

Jeff hardy was sniffing paint.

Sadly, I saw that. So far, it's the highlight.

[Caged Heat18]

CARLITO :love:

[St. Jimmy]

What was the name of the band they're using?

Day of Fire.

[Kane Knight]

Pun intended.

[owenbrown]

Ok, first Vince's senility rubbing off on JR, and now Lita's botching rubbing off on Trish with that "catfight". :roll:

[Azriel]

Trish/Lita: The Final Encounter.

[ClockShot]

The more trailers they show of this flick. The more terrible it's going to be when it hits theates.

[Better Than You]

Good RAW so far. Needs more Punk. :shifty:

[Savio]

I don't like cena in the ring

[St. Jimmy]

FUCK. They're gonna fuck up Orton vs. Carlito with a CLUSTERFUCK!?

[Better Than You]

This isn't fucking anything up Jimmy. Its build up.

[Azriel]

We all know Carlito/Orton will be at Unforgiven, so it should all be good

[ClockShot]

Good RAW so far. Needs more Punk. :shifty:

They had Ashton Kutcher's trailer for his new movie.


Ohh. Ohh. You mean CM Punk.....

[mike627]

hey,Savior!

[Destor]

A mixed tag isn't a cluster fuck. Terrible misuse of the word.

[St. Jimmy]

They had Ashton Kutcher's trailer for his new movie.


Ohh. Ohh. You mean CM Punk:

[Kane Knight]

A mixed tag isn't a cluster fuck. Terrible misuse of the word.

It's also more or less the opposite. This is pretty classic WWE booking.

[ClockShot]

YEAH! SUPER CRAZY!

[Petethegeekstreet]

SUPER CRAZY

[St. Jimmy]

A mixed tag isn't a cluster fuck. Terrible misuse of the word.

It's a TNA main event, plus Tag Wrestling on WWE TV. Meh.

[CYCLOPTERSAURUS]

[Caged Heat18]

[mike627]

[St. Jimmy]

What the fuck? they have him leave smackdown, but go to RAW instead of ECW? He's a cruiser, and he was from ECW...so the send him to the land of the hosses? God damnit.

Someone's got to oversell the Masterlock.

[ClockShot]

Ouch....

[St. Jimmy]

HOLY SHIT!

[Caged Heat18]

Holy shit. Super Crazy wins.

[Destor]

Crazy didn't JOB! WHOOOOO

[mike627]

Super Crazy with the upset!

[Kane Knight]

Did JR say Masturbate?

I was out of the room getting myself some salad.

[St. Jimmy]

I'm shocked Crazy didn't job. Wow.

[6to1]

i joked last week about masters wrestling a cruiserweight and dammed if it did'nt hapen this week.

[ClockShot]

Score report.

Yanks/Royals tied 1-1 top of 6th.

[St. Jimmy]

hm. A Cruiser getting a clean win, 6 Person Tag... this is like Smackdown... except with actual talent.

[Kane Knight]

hm. A Cruiser getting a clean win, 6 Person Tag... this is like Smackdown... except with actual talent.

[Better Than You]

:roll:

[Caged Heat18]

Oh good more of the McMahon's/DX feud...:shifty:

[Kane Knight]

Oh Goody. Big Show.

[St. Jimmy]

Fertig, Van Dam, CW Anderson, and Test are the only good part of ECW

[Petethegeekstreet]

did I just hear a small TNA chant?

[Petethegeekstreet]

Tast has sucked really hard. I like fertig ok

[St. Jimmy]

For some reason I'm wanting Bischoff to walk out right now.

[Caged Heat18]

I want anyone to walk out right now.

[mike627]

Unforgiven will be the start of yet another Vince/Shane fued.

[St. Jimmy]

Hunter and Gamey :love:

[Kane Knight]

did I just hear a small TNA chant?

Skippord's stalking you.

[Caged Heat18]

DX is coming armed.

[St. Jimmy]

I think the fun and games are over... A sadistic DX is an awesome DX.

[Caged Heat18]

Thats some security McMahon hired there.

[Kane Knight]

For some reason I'm wanting Bischoff to walk out right now.

That woulda rocked.

DX dominating is booooooooooooooooooring.

[Better Than You]

I've (yet again) been neg repped inot submission.

[mike627]

that's the kind of edge DX sholud have had when they reunited.

[Caged Heat18]

I think the fun and games are over... A sadistic DX is an awesome DX.

:y:

[ClockShot]

Dammit. Royals stole a run. Up 2-1.

[Azriel]

Yanks just got screwed. Bring in f*cking instant replays in baseball. You have the video screens. Use them for God sakes

[Kane Knight]

Yanks just got screwed. Bring in f*cking instant replays in baseball. You have the video screens. Use them for God sakes

I agree. Trying to ref a small ball in a long game especially with just your eyes is fucking retarded.

[Caged Heat18]

Yanks just got screwed. Bring in f*cking instant replays in baseball. You have the video screens. Use them for God sakes

What happened?

[St. Jimmy]

I'm calling it now, SS breaks up for good at Unforgiven

[Azriel]

Highlanders!

I'M ROBBIE!

[ClockShot]

Highlanders vs. Cade/Murdoch 2.0 vs. Duggan/Eugene?

[Caged Heat18]

A triple threat tag team match? Who knew Raw even had three tag teams?

[St. Jimmy]

Maria watching paint dry... is fucking genius (more interesting than this Tag Match)

[ClockShot]

HAAS! HE GOT A JOB STILL!

[Destor]

Spirit Squad! Yes.

[Azriel]

What happened?
Guy slid into home plate, pretended to touch home with his hand, but didn't. Ump seemed to think though he did and called him safe

[Destor]

Bout time for them to break up, even though then you have absolutely no tag division then.

[St. Jimmy]

I miss Tornado Tag.

[ClockShot]

<font color=goldenrod>A new tag team called Cryme Tyme will be debuting on Raw tonight, parodying racial stereotypes.</font>

What about these guys. Or is it speculation?

[Caged Heat18]

Cool ending.

[Better Than You]

Sweet finish

[ClockShot]

So. Who's the lucky sap getting married to Trish Stratus?

[mike627]

nice match.

[Skippord]

Skippord's stalking you.
shhh you werent supposed to tell him

[Azriel]

Dunno. Anyway, not really worried about the yanks. We have a sizable lead in our division.

[Caged Heat18]

True, Boston really fell apart, too.

[Destor]

Naitch

[St. Jimmy]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[ClockShot]

So I guess Unlimited is dead?

[St. Jimmy]

Naitch and Maria... this is going to be brilliant!

[St. Jimmy]

lmao. Punk is pissing himself.

[ClockShot]

True, Boston really fell apart, too.

So did the Braves.

[St. Jimmy]

I offically want to be Flair.

[Destor]

Naitch and Maria... this is going to be brilliant!Are you dissapointed?

[Skippord]

I would mark out like a bitch if Punk ran out and beat the shit out of him

[Petethegeekstreet]

Estrada & Naitch!

[Better Than You]

HA HA.

[St. Jimmy]

HA HA - JOO ME.

[ClockShot]

[St. Jimmy]

I'd actually enjoy a Kane/Umaga match.

[Destor]

I love Umaga

[Destor]

THUMB OF DEATH

[Petethegeekstreet]

UMAGA IS TRASH

[Azriel]

So, what was Flair going to say? And why didn't they let him say it? Carry on to next week? Something about how unfair it was Mick had to be embarrased or something like that?

[Azriel]

By the way, Maria is so godamn hot and cute, but Flair is old enough to be her father.

[St. Jimmy]

So, what was Flair going to say? And why didn't they let him say it? Carry on to next week? Something about how unfair it was Mick had to be embarrased or something like that?

Not really. It's georgia. Flair's a staple in Georgia.

[Kane Knight]

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMAGA! HA-HA!

[St. Jimmy]

LMFAO.

[Savio]

:lol:

[Destor]

This bit is awesome

[Skippord]

lol I love these guys already

[ClockShot]

Oh I see. M.O.M. redux.

Big Vis. must be proud.

[Destor]

ROFL

[Destor]

THey will take the belts off the Highlanders

[Batsu]

Vince LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVES his stereotypes. How long do you think "Cryme Tyme" will last?

[Caged Heat18]

Cryme Time, that was kind of funny.

[dablackguy]

What the fuck did we just watch?

[Petethegeekstreet]

Cryme time?

[St. Jimmy]

Cryme Tyme vs. Cena :love:

[Kane Knight]

Kane Umaga actually interests me.

[mike627]

Long on Raw watching Cena as if Vince is gonna send him down to SD

[ClockShot]

SAY IT! SAY MY NAME! CRYME TIME BABY!

Or in this case our.

[Caged Heat18]

Wow. They actually have the whole if not almost whole card for Unforgiven a whole two weeks in advance.

[mike627]

Cryme Time, they are gonna be cool.

[Better Than You]

Vince v H?

[Fignuts]

Oh my fucking god, what are they thinking.

[St. Jimmy]

What? Trips vs. Vince at MSG?

[Caged Heat18]

Oh joy more Vince McMahon matches.

[ClockShot]

Main event already? Can't be.....

[mike627]

yep it is main event time.

[Destor]

Intergender! Sweet

[Petethegeekstreet]

Trish should pin Edge.

[ClockShot]

A 25 minute main event. This better be worth my time.

[St. Jimmy]

I hope the match ends with a Backcracker on Lita.

[mike627]

I wanna spear Trish!?!

[Azriel]

Wow, show's almost done already?! Anyway, that Cryme Time thing was one of the most offensive things WWE has ever done I think

[St. Jimmy]

A 25 minute main event. This better be worth my time.

It's gotta end up being a Wash. Unless we get a good 10 minutes of Orton restholds.

[Savio]

So. Who's the lucky sap getting married to Trish Stratus?Umaga

[ClockShot]

4-1 royals bottom 7th.:mad:

[Azriel]

This hopefully will be good

[Caged Heat18]

Hopefully.

[mike627]

hey,this has been a good main event.

[Azriel]

Trish double slapping Edge and Randy. Nice!

[ClockShot]

Wow. Dueling chant.

[St. Jimmy]

I want to lose Cena on Raw. They can trade us Kennedy.

[mike627]

Wow. Dueling chant. for whom?

[Kane Knight]

Wow, show's almost done already?! Anyway, that Cryme Time thing was one of the most offensive things WWE has ever done I think

I missed it. I wans't out of the oom, I just zoned out because Raw was boring. What was offensive?

[Caged Heat18]

Well if Raw loses Cena I think they already gave Raw compensation and a replacement of star power in Super Crazy. :shifty:

[ClockShot]

I missed it. I wans't out of the oom, I just zoned out because Raw was boring. What was offensive?

Pretty much a "How to" guide to robbing a store.

[mike627]

I can't wait for the show at MSG Cena is gonna get booed out of NYC!

[Caged Heat18]

He should be booed out of the building at Unforgiven too.

[Kane Knight]

Pretty much a "How to" guide to robbing a store.

Aww, shit. I did see that. Or part of it. It didn't register as WWE programming.

[St. Jimmy]

RKO! RKO! FUCK YES!

[Caged Heat18]

RKO to Trish.

[ClockShot]

LOL!

[mike627]

hahahah Trish got RKOed!

[St. Jimmy]

:love:

[McLegend]

I love it when Chicks get RKO'ed

[St. Jimmy]

Trish sold the RKO beautifully.

[Azriel]

That was pretty nice. Anyway, night folks.
