Welcome to WWI's ongoing coverage of Monday Night RAW, live from the sold-out Ford Center in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Tonight's guest hosts will be Cheech & Chong.

The show opened with the first notes of Bret Hart's familiar theme. False alarm. It was just an opportunity to show a recap of Bret Hart's accident in the parking garage.

Instead, Shawn Michaels made his way to the ring to "Sexy Boy." HBK wanted to make a case for his chances against the Undertaker and his 17-0 WrestleMania streak. If any of his peers had anything to say about that, he invited them to come out and say so. Triple H took him up on that invitation.

HBK was angry that his friend of 15 years doubted him, but Triple H said he knew HBK could beat the Undertaker. And on that night, HBK will be Mr. WrestleMania. And DX will never die. However, it would be a long time before they'd be seen in the ring together again. So Triple H had invoked the rematch clause for the unified tag team championship. And in 28 days, the day after WM, Triple H said they could throw a party to celebrate the end of the Undertaker's streak. That was what Triple H believed, then he asked HBK what he believed. HBK thought it over, and decided they needed to take on the Miz and Big Show later tonight.

The Bellas flirted with Cheech and Chong in their dressing room. Hornswoggle showed up to share his box of Lucky Charms with Chong, who seemed to be in the mood for munchies.

Randy Orton and the Voices in his Head headed to the ring.

(Commercial break)

(1) Randy Orton vs. Ted DiBiase.

Each of these guys was in a snit. Orton dominated the beginning of the match, but the tide had turned during the break. Both got to their feet and started trading punches. Suddenly Cody appeared in the ring and it took Orton off guard. Legacy double-teamed Orton, but Orton fought back.

Legacy retreated, and Orton glared after them.

(Commercial break)

In the parking garage, Bret Hart stepped out of a limo with a cast on his leg.

In their office, Chong was eating Lucky charms and pawing William Regal, thinking he was a diva, and staring at Chris Masters chest as if he were Kelly Kelly. (Psychedelic went out of style years ago and it never was all that cool.)

(Commercial break)

(2) Money-in-the-Bank Qualifying Match: Jack Swagger vs. Santino Marella.

It took Jack Swagger about 30 seconds to pin Santino for the win and the opportunity to go to the MITB Ladder Match.

Batista and a contingent of body guards headed to the ring. Nothing says "tough guy" like a bunch of body guards,

(Commercial break)

Out came John Cena to a huge pop from the crowd. He no longer was upset that Batista had "stolen" his title. It was all about business. He understood that now. However, he did have something to pay back to Batista.

(3) John Cena vs. Batista.

Cena questioned Batista's need to "roll with security" like a 6 foot 6 inch, 300 pound pansy. Batista was not amused. He also seemed to be a little off his game.

Batista also had a problem that Cena had been chosen as the name and face of WWE. The torch had been passed from Stone Cold Steve Austin to Cena, rather than to Batista. (Crybaby.)

Cena called him selfish.

Batista took a parting shot, saying Cena knew he could not beat him.

(Commercial break)

Chavo looked uncomfortable wearing a sombrero and was seated with Cheech and Chong, who were tripping out on more Lucky Charms.

(4) Money-in-the-Bank Qualifying Match: MVP vs. Zach Ryder.

MVP took the win very quickly and will go on to the MITB Ladder Match at WrestleMania.

(Commercial break)

Justin Roberts introduced Cheech and Chong. Finally. They had managed to haul their butts to the ring to introduce the diva pillow fight.

(5) Divas Pajama Pillow Fight: Gail Kim, Kelly Kelly, and Eve Torres vs. Maryse, Alisa Fox and Jillian.

Eve Torres won the match. Such as it was.

Hornswoggle brought out the celebratory Lucky Charms.

The next inductee into the 2010 Hall of Fame will be Maurice "Mad Dog" Vachon.

(Commercial break)

Justin Roberts started to introduce Bret Hart, but Mister McMahon came out instead. Turns out that McMahon wanted to make the introduction. And it sounded like he really meant every word he was saying to Hart. Hard to believe anything McMahon was saying, though.

Hart was wearing the cast on his leg from the "tragic accident two weeks ago." McMahon asked Hart to clear his name; Hart refused because he didn't believe anything McMahon had said. McMahon brought up the challenge Bret had made for a match at WM. Hart pointed out the cast on his leg, which McMahon had taken note of. McMahon tried to goad Bret into a match at WM. When that didn’t work, he kicked the crutch out from under Bret. That did it. Bret accepted the match, as McMahon grinned an evil grin.  He'd gotten just what he wanted.

McMahon told Bret to be watching next week, since VKM will be facing John Cena in a match next Monday to show how well-conditioned he is.

(Commercial break)

(6) Unified Tag Team Title Match: DX (Triple H & Shawn Michaels) vs. ShowMiz (The Miz & Big Show).

Shawn Michaels was moments away from winning the tag titles when the Undertaker appeared on the TitanTron and provided enough distraction to allow The Miz to pin HBK for the win.

Triple H tried to talk to HBK after the match, but an angry Michaels flounced away. Meanwhile, Shaemus came out and flattened Triple H.

Well, there ya go. The plot is definitely thickening. Twenty-seven days til Mania.
