We begin tonight with a recap of the Ed Kaufman press conference from Smackdown, and sound bytes from various WWE employees who "were there" when the limo exploded.

Jump cut to the arena, and Mick Foley is out, backpedaling on his remarks from last week. He apologizes, because if he knew what was going to happen, he'd have handled things differently. Randy Orton comes out to rebut, and mentions "The Hardcore Diaries", though not by name. King Booker, surprisingly, says it wasn't Mick, but rather Bobby Lashley, citing Lashley's military background and knowledge of weapons and explosives. Lashley comes out, and promptly shoves Booker down on his butt. John Cena is out next, and calms everyone down with a phat promo that reminds that there are about a bazillion suspects, citing an infinite number of enemies that Mr. McMahon might've made over the years, including disgruntled maids and truck drivers. Jonathan Coachman comes out. Might as well say he's the de-facto GM for the duration. Coachman makes two matches for later: Cena & Lashley vs. Orton & Booker, and Foley vs. Umaga.

Brian Kendrick & Paul London vs. World's Greatest Tag Team. Good opener, but too short, and this is with 4 of the best athletes on the roster! London was face in peril, but then got the hot tag to Kendrick. Forearm shivers and dropkicks everywhere. Shel Benjamin tried to powerbomb London, but ended up going over the top. That allowed Kendrick to hit Sliced Bread #2 uninhibited on Charlie Haas to pick up the win. In commentary, Jerry Lawler tried to insinuate that London was a major suspect in the case because London was the only one smiling at the end of the show last week. Coincidental, methinks. Winners: Brian Kendrick & Paul London.

Coach is being interviewed by federal investigator Daniel Beck. We also find that Raw will expand to 3 hours again next week as the investigation will continue. No mention so far of the real-life passing of Sherri Martel.

Carlito is out to cut a promo, and refers to Torrie Wilson & Ric Flair as two of last week's big winners, because they're now on Smackdown. Sandman comes through the crowd and chases Carlito away to start their program. Cryme Tyme pay some respects to Mr. McMahon, too, but it also sets up another skit parodying home shopping networks. Hey, they're the WWE's answer to the Homeboy Shopping Network from "In Living Color". Beck throws cold water on the skit and calls JTG & Shad into a meeting......

Jeff Hardy vs. Daivari. Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch are at ringside, but are not on color commentary. Daivari is announced at 206, up six pounds from his last appearance on Smackdown. Lawler references briefly Daivari's 1st tour of duty on Raw nearly 3 years ago. Another standout match, and you had to wonder if the tag champs would get involved. They didn't. Hardy actualy connected solidly with the Whisper in the Wind, but only got 2. Twist of Fate & Swanton bomb finish Daivari. Winner: Jeff Hardy. A post-match promo by the tag champs, skewing the truth, is cut off as Hardy hits a plancha on both Cade & Murdoch, then makes good his escape. Hardys vs. Cade & Murdoch at Vengeance.

William Regal introduces himself to Maria, but her on-camera suitor Santino Marella shows up. I guess we know who will be the next challenger for the IC title. Regal's still got the dry look going from Smackdown.

Todd Grisham interviews Thomas Pagliaro, "Mr. McMahon's limo driver".

Mick Foley vs. Umaga. The match never officially got underway. It was announced that Umaga will attempt to regain the IC title from Marella on Sunday. Foley met Umaga at the ropes and sent him to the floor with a knee. The action was on the floor and barely got back into the ring. It ended with Umaga wiping out Foley with a butt splash on the steel steps, this after Umaga no-sold a chair shot from Foley. Winner: None. Match never got started.

Beck is now interviewing Cena. Lawler thinks JR may also be interviewed. Meanwhile, another white limo arrives. Back from break, and Foley is being examined. Beck wants to talk to Foley, obviously, but the doctor tells him Foley's in no condition to take questions. Mr. Kennedy is in the ring and cuts a promo, talking about respect, and the fans' lack of it toward him. That keeps him a heel. He talks up how Mr. McMahon was a father figure to him and there was mutual respect. Bottom line, Kennedy is dedicating his career to Mr. McMahon.

Back to the white limo, and the driver emerges, to stand in front of the passenger's door.

Mickie James & Candice Michelle vs. Melina & Jillian Hall. 1st time Melina & Jillian have tagged in over 18 months, when they were both on Smackdown. Jillian starts to butcher "Amazing Grace", in dedication to Mr. McMahon, but is cut off by Mickie's entrance music. The hometown gal gets the phattest pop of the night for someone other than Lashley. Unfortunately, Mickie is also the designated jobber, as the women's champ gets back on the winning track, using a standing leg lariat to gain the fall. She gets a rematch vs. Candice for the title at Vengeance. Winners: Melina & Jillian Hall..

Randy Orton & King Booker (w/Queen Sharmell) vs. Bobby Lashley & John Cena. Lawler claims this is the first time Booker has fought Lashley. Wrong! They had a feud over the World title several months ago, when Booker was the World champ, and it ultimately led to Lashley leaving for ECW to win their title. Very good main event, best match on the show. The two teams went back and forth, and Cena was face in peril. Orton had him in a side headlock with a leg grapevine, but Cena kept trying to carry Orton over to the corner to make a tag, but never got there. Ultimately, he did get the hot tag to Lashley, who blasted Booker with an exploder suplex. He went for the Dominator 2.0, but Booker slid out and Orton made a blind tag. After a spinebuster to Booker, Lashley was left wide open for the RKO. Orton hooked and grapevined both legs to secure the pinfall. Winners: Randy Orton & King Booker...

The limo finally opens, and it's Stephanie who comes out, making her first appearance on Raw since March 2006. Now, where do we go from here? Back from break, and Coach is offering to escort Steph to the ring, but she decides to tough it out and go it alone. Trying in vain to fight off the tears, she thanks the fans for the cards, calls, & e-mails, and plugs next week's show and the PPV, promising vengeance on whomever was responsible for what happened to her father. A teary "I love you, Dad!", and off she goes. End of show.
