General Manager Armando Estrada is in the ring to introduce Chavo Guerrero who then the ring to the boos of the fans in attendance. Is Chavo going to be a regular on ECW? Chavo takes the mic from Estrada and tells everyone it is great to be back in ECW. Chavo says that last year Rey Mysterio injured him and that Chavo is interested in CM Punk’s title.

CM Punk enters the arena to the cheers of the fans in attendance. He enters the ring with his eye on Chavo. Chavo tells Punk he is a stepping-stone for Chavo and in 2008 Chavo is going to be a champion again and he is looking at Punk’s title. Punk tells Chavo he is nobody’s stepping-stone and if Chavo wants to challenge him for the title, he is right in front of Chavo. Estrada tells Chavo that he has to earn his title shot tonight in his match against CM Punk.

Audience favorites: I’m not sure

My favorites: Shannon Moore and Jimmy Wang Yang

Winners: Jimmy Wang Yang, Shannon Moore & Kelly Kelly

I understand Layla has relocated from Miami, FL to Los Angeles, CA in order to attend wrestling school. Shouldn’t that be a prerequisite before getting in the ring? Jimmy Want Yang pins The Miz to win the match.

The Main event tonight will be CM Punk, ECW Champion, against Chavo Guerrero, non-title match. If Chavo wins, he gets a chance at the championship.

Commercial break.

Back from commercial break, Tazz is in the ring with Colin Delany who had his first match against Shelton Benjamin two weeks ago – in his first EVER match according to Tazz – and Colin lost to Benjamin. Colin said that match didn’t go as he had planned and Tazz wants to know what Colin thinks his chances are tonight.  Colin thinks he will do better tonight than two weeks ago. Colin says that in 2008 he wants to be a WWE superstar. Colin’s match tonight is against Big Daddy V.

Audience favorite: I’m not sure

My favorite: Colin Delaney

Winner: Big Daddy V

This was not a match. It isn't like we don't already know Colin doesn't have a chance to take out V. I don’t even watch V’s matches especially when WWE insists on pitting someone so much smaller against him.

Shelton Benjamin is backstage heading toward the arena.

Back from commercial break, the Raw Rebound, which is the match Ric Flair had against Triple H. Flair won the match after William Regal interferes and nails Flair with brass knuckles. Flair still has his career but Triple H will not be able to participate in the Royal Rumble match.

This blows Chavo’s chance at the ECW Championship belt.
