THIS WEEK ON WWE RAW:

  • Rey Mysterio d. The Miz in the title tournament final to become WWE Champion
  • Alberto Del Rio tried to attack Mysterio post match and cash in his MITB briefcase. Mysterio fought of Del Rio who then decided against cashing in his shot.
  • Dolph Ziggler d. Evan Bourne via submission
  • Eve Torres & Kelly Kelly d. Melina & Maryse
  • Triple H made his first address as COO. Announced the return of Jim Ross and booked Mysterio vs. Cena for the title in the Main Event.
  • Triple H was interrupted by R-Truth, who was subsequently taken out by a returning John Morrison.
  • Zach Ryder d. Michael Cole via Rough Ryder
  • Alberto Del Rio d. Kofi Kingston via Cross Arm Breaker
  • John Cena d. Rey Mysterio via Attitude Adjustment to win the WWE Title
  • CM Punk made his return as he and Cena held their titles aloft as the show closed.

July 9th 2000, the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, Florida. Jeff Jarrett, WCW World Champion at the time, marched to the ring before promptly laying down allowing his opponent, Hulk Hogan to score the pinfall victory by placing his foot upon the chest of Double J. Hogan promptly left the arena, and WCW, with the title. Of course we all know what followed in what became known as the "Bash at the Beach" incident. However there's a reason I bring this situation up.
