Mixed Tag Team Match
Colin Delaney & Kelly Kelly
Vs.
Mike Knox & Layla
Holy crap! Is WWE ever going to let Colin Delaney actually
wrestle in the ring? I am not looking forward to seeing Delaney get beat all
over the ring by Knox again. The women begin the match with Layla going for some
pounding. Both women end up out on the floor, Kelly rolls Layla back in and then
goes off the second rope with a cross body block. Knox enters the ring to break
up the pin, Delaney charges in to help Kelly and Knox enters the ring, sending
Delaney to the floor. Kelly drops Layla, goes for the cover and gets the three

Estrada picks up Delaney, delivers a neck breaker and gets
the three count. Time: Under 1 minute.

Commercial break.
RAW Rebound: William Regal, General Manager and King of the
Ring, Regal tells Mr. Kennedy that the next person who shows up in the ring will
be fired, no matter who that person is. The
next person to enter the ring is none other than Vincent Kennedy McMahon.
McMahon is there to tell Regal that there will be a match between Kenney and
Regal and the loser of the match will be fired. In case you hadn’t heard,
Regal lost the match and was fired. For
those of you who don’t know, William Regal was suspended from WWE for a second
violation of the Wellness Policy. Nice way to write him off the air for his
suspension time. WWE must think the
WWE fans all wear blinders.
