Hart Exacts Revenge

After berating the WWE chairman for his actions towards Bret Hart last week, John Cena convinced Mr. McMahon to accept a match with his long-time nemesis at WrestleMania.

On the latest edition of RAW, the chairman of the board admitted paying Batista to screw Bret Hart again, but insisted that he had no involvement with The Animal attacking Cena last week.

McMahon suggested that Batista attacked Cena because Cena eliminated The Animal in the Royal Rumble Match or because, maybe, the powerhouse just doesn't like Cena.

The subject of money was then once again brought up as an angry Cena tore into a somewhat cocky chairman, insisting that all Vince cares about is money.

The fiery WWE superstar went on to strike a chord with fans by claiming that he does what he does in the ring because he loves it, and not because of any financial gain.

Cena then asked McMahon if he would accept a match at WrestleMania against Bret Hart, to which Vince replied with an emphatic YES. But on that note, Hart, who had been banned from the arena, surprisingly showed up, to exact his revenge for last week's events.

However, before Hart could truly pummel his bitter rival Mr. McMahon, the chairman escaped the ring to retreat behind a wall of security.

An irate McMahon then cancelled the WrestleMania match he had agreed to, insisting once again that Bret deserves to be screwed. The statement did not go down well with Hart one bit, as The "Hit Man" went on the rampage, tearing up WWE video equipment, similar to that of circumstances back in Montreal over twenty years ago.
Show Miz

Also this week on RAW, D-Generation X put their differences aside in an effort to retain their Unified Tag Team Titles in a Triple Threat Elimination Match against United States Champion The Miz and Big Show and the Straight Edge Society.

The climax of what turned out to be an enthralling match-up saw Shawn Michaels eliminating Luke Gallows, before setting his sights on the remaining threat, Big Show and Miz.

Michaels hit sweet chin music on the 485-pound Big Show and tagged in partner Triple H. After executing a devastating spine buster on The Miz, Michaels then tagged himself in.

The Game appeared confused, voicing his concern at Michaels' decision, but in a twist, The United States champion threw Michaels into The Cerebral Assassin and then rolled up Michaels for the pin to capture the Unified Tag Team Titles.

Backstage, Big Show and Miz celebrated their title win. The United States Champion Miz claimed that together, the new Unified Tag Team Champions will run the WWE.

Trade

After losing the Unified Tag Team Titles, a frustrated Michaels confronted SmackDown General Manager Teddy Long backstage, demanding to be traded to SmackDown and included in the World Heavyweight Championship Elimination Chamber Match.

Long declined, explaining that the participants were already set. When Triple H then asked why his distraught friend was destroying his career, Michaels told him that, as far as he was concerned, his career was already over.
