*Find the writer: Twitter Facebook MySpace*

This is 17 years in the making; we\'re Live in Boston Massechusetts and we are ready for the 900th episode of WWE\'s Monday Night RAW! Generations in the making, more episodes than any television show in history, RAW begins with a flashback of various clips of RAW episodes and this epic night begins with an explosive run of pyro\'s on stage and Michael Cole and Jerry \'The King\' Lawler introduce us from ringside. It is announced that there will be a five-on-five tag team elimination match as Nexus takes on Chris Jericho, Randy Orton, Edge, Sheamus and John Cena!

Music hits and Bret Hart makes his way to the ring. Hart says that 17 years ago when Monday Night RAW debuted he was unsure whether the concept would catch on. He tells us that he was there for that very first show and so too was The UnderTaker. The fans cheer, but there\'s an explosion on stage and the Devil\'s Favorite Demon Kane makes his way to the ring. The commentary team remind us of Kane\'s impact on RAW over the years, but tonight Kane is an unwelcome guest. Kane immediately gets on the mic and targets his brother. He says that \'Taker is no longer a Phenom; he\'s just a man. Like Bret, says Kane, The UnderTaker is weak, feeble and over-the-hill. Kane goes on to say that the last time The UnderTaker was truly himself, he was putting Shawn Michaels\' career to Rest. Kane suggests that Bret must\'ve enjoyed that. Bret says that he can\'t wait for \'Taker to get his hands on Kane and beat him like he always does. Kane says that The UnderTaker took out a Legend like Shawn Michaels, so it\'s only fitting that he must do the same. Kane then wraps his palm around the throat of Bret Hart, but then we have The Hart Dynasty come to Bret\'s rescue. Kane fights them off and just as he goes after The Hitman again *BONG* darkness overcomes the arena and when the lights come back on The UnderTaker is in the ring. The Dead-Man eyes Kane and his brother backs off to exit out of the ring. Kane smiles as he heads up the ramp. *BLEEP* *BLEEP* Michael Cole goes to the podium to speak on behalf of the yet unrevealed General Manager. He says that tonight\'s historic occasion that is the 900th episode of RAW requires an iconic main event: Bret \'The Hitman\' Hart versus The UnderTaker!

Triple Threat Rules Tag Team match

The match gets underway to a pretty quick pace. Kofi starts well, but then Bryan comes in and does well against Alex Riley. Riley gets some momentum and he gets Kofi to the mat, but the tides turn and Kofi hits the Boom Drop. Bryan then tags Kaval while Kofi tags McGillicutty. All three NXT rookies are legal now and Kaval does well with some impressive moves. McGillicutty does well for a moment until Kaval gets him down to stomp down the Warrior\'s Way. Miz though comes in and takes Kaval down from behind with the Skull Crushing Finale.

Winners: The Miz and Alex Riley.

Michael Cole says \"RAW\'s seen the likes of Michaels, Stone Cold, Rock, Hart and Taker - add The Miz to that list!\" with Mike Mizanen picking up an opportunistic victory. After the match Alex Riley has an exchange with Daniel Bryan, but then Miz comes in with the MITB Briefcase to knock Bryan out of his boots. Miz and Riley celebrate as they exit to a chorus of boos from the Boston crowd.

This tag contest gets underway and Michelle McCool gets an early pin attempt on Melina. Layla tags in, but after a short exchange Melina gets the roll-up on Layla and this one\'s done in matter of minutes!

Winners: Melina and Eve Torres.

After the match Lay-Cool get on with \"Real Talk.\" They go on to challenge Melina to a unification match for the Women\'s and Diva\'s Championships at Night of Champions. Melina willingly accepts, but adds the stipulation that it\'s a Lumberjack match. The Diva\'s locker room then walks out onto the stage and King tells that it\'s Lumber-Jills! \"Woohoo!\"

We head to the Nexus locker room and they tell that they\'re down to five after kicking out Darren Young and Skip Sheffield having broken his ankle. They question themselves and wonder whether they\'re now \"weak.\" Wade Barrett confidently reiterates how they\'re going to beat five of WWE\'s best tonight. Not only that, they\'re going to make sure this is a night history will never forget. Mr Wade Barrett has a plan...

Backstage we have Josh Matthews interview Chris Jericho. Jericho says that the reason he says that he\'s the best in the world at what he does - is because it\'s true. Jericho then makes a ground-breaking statement; he says that if he doesn\'t win the WWE Championship at Night of Champions, then that\'s it, he\'s done. Matthews questions this, saying that Jericho\'s been in and out of RAW before. Jericho though says that he is not joking. He\'s confident going into Night of Champions and tonight, versus Nexus, he\'s going to prove to the world that he is indeed the best at what he does.

Number 1 Contenders match for the WWE World Tag Team Titles

The third tag team contest of the evening gets underway and this one\'s intriguing. SmackDown\'s McIntyre and Rhodes come to RAW and Rhodes starts off against Truth and it doesn\'t take him long to throw a cheap shot at the illegal Morrison and then McIntyre comes in and then a brawl ensues. The referee instantly loses control and he calls for the bell.

No Contest.

The crowd boo as this one barely even got started. Morrison and Truth though end on top after decking Rhodes and McIntyre at ringside.

At the half-way point of this historic RAW episode Jerry \'The King\' Lawler tells of how he remembers an amazing battle between the Hitman and The Phenom thirteen years ago. Now they meet in the ring again tonight and what a match this one is set to be. Bret doesn\'t seem intimidated, but before the bell even rings, Wade Barrett makes an entrance. He\'s on mic and he says that this match is not going to happen. He says that people don\'t want to see Legends, they want to see what the future holds. Barrett says that he\'s going to do something unforgettable and take down The UnderTaker and The Hitman. Barrett storms the ring and The Dead-Man takes him down with ease. \'Taker turns his attentions back toward Hart, but then *BONG* lights out and *BONG* lights back on, Bret\'s gone but UnderTaker\'s now faced with his brother Kane! \'Taker gets his hand around the throat of Kane but *BONG* lights out, and *BONG* when they\'re back on Kane is gone. Music hits and the remaining members of Nexus come down the ramp and surround the ring as they familiarly do. They get to attacking The Dead-Man, but UnderTaker thwarts them off, he gets his hand around the neck of Wade Barrett but *BONG* lights out.... *BONG* Lights back on and Barrett has \'Taker up in a Samoan. He drops him over the top of his own head for the front Firemans\' slam which we now know is called \"Waste Land.\" Nexus drag the body of UnderTaker to the corner where Justin Gabriel finishes The UnderTaker with a 450 splash. Kane stands on the stage witnessing it all happen. \'Taker tries to sit up, but he can\'t. Nexus stand proudly over The UnderTaker. Kane laughs demonically as we fade out.

When we come back Cole and King review what didn\'t even end up being a match between Bret Hart and The UnderTaker. Cole says he can\'t believe Nexus delivered on what they said. King finishes by saying he can\'t believe Kane has UnderTaker-like powers.

During Swagger\'s entrance he\'s on mic and he tells us that he\'s returning to RAW as a former World Champion. The match begins, but then it is interrupted by the entrance of Alberto Del-Rio. Del-Rio arrives in a Bentley and is introduced by his own ring announcer. In the ring meanwhile, Bourne has Swagger down. He attempts the Air-Bourne, but misses. Bourne lands on his feet, but Swagger then targets the ankle and in moments this one is finished as well as Evan Bourne taps out.

Winner: Jack Swagger.

Swagger\'s music hits and he walks away victorious. Alberto Del-Rio then gets on mic and tells everyone that Rey Mysterio would not be here tonight. Del-Rio says that he took out Mysterio and unfortunately RAW did not get to see what happened when he didd what he did to Rey on SmackDown. With that in mind, Del-Rio says that he\'s going to recreate the action by targetting Evan Bourne. Del-Rio gets into the ring to attack Evan. He puts the cross-armbreaker on Bourne and then sets up to put a steel chair into the equation. Before he can do any real damage though Mark Henry\'s music hits. Henry comes to Bourne\'s aid, but Del-Rio escapes. King says that \"you don\'t wanna mess with the World\'s Strongest Man\" while Cole predicts that Del-Rio is going to have an amazing career on Friday Night SmackDown.

Next up we see a video montage of WWE\'s first ever visit to China. The superstars had an excellent time with the fans and many describe it as an unforgettabley spectacular trip.

CM Punk comes down to the ring with Straight-Edge Society members Joseph Mercury and Luke Gallows (no Serena of course). Punk gets on the mic and tells that he\'s better than The Rock. He says that he doesn\'t drink, doesn\'t smoke and doesn\'t make crappy movies like The Tooth Fairy. Punk says that he doesn\'t miss The Rock on this septic tank of a show that is Monday Night RAW. Punk says that for 900 shows RAW has been promoting poor family values. Punk refers to D-X, Katie Vick, property damage (when Triple H wrecked Randy Orton\'s house), irresponsible and wreckless behaviour (when Cena launched Edge into a lake), tresspassing (D-X\'s invasion of WCW), excessive use of alcohol (Stone Cold\'s beer bath when he crashed the Corporation\'s party). Punk states that all these things brought shame to the people of the WWE Universe. Glass shatters and music hits... Stone Cold?!... No, Punk was bluffing. He laughs hysterically saying that Boston fell for it. Punk says that he feels empty inside when he sees these people and now he\'s happy that they\'re disapointed. Punk next rolls footage of Brock Lesnar\'s superplex on Big Show on Friday Night SmackDown, June 12th 2003. Punk says that he could watch that clip over and over again as it proves the obessety of the Big Show. He begins to take verbal shots at Big Show, but then Show\'s music hits and he comes out to a decent reception. Show says that fat jokes are poor and if Punk wanted to embarrass him then he could\'ve pointed out a number of things. Show then gives a list of his own embarrasing moments. Show makes fun of the SES with a Hulk Hogan-esque impression of what it would be like if Hogan was in the SES. Punk though doesn\'t joke and takes the stuation seriously only to eventually be dunped on his backside after a slap to the chest by Big Show. Mercury exits with the injured arm, and Luke Gallows exchanges punches with Show only to end up getting clotheslined over the top rope. Show\'s music hits and the fans cheer as the SES scamper away.

Josh Matthews is on the stage and he introduces WWE Champion Sheamus. Sheamus comes out and says that he was the one who took out Triple H. He says that he has to tag with his opponents tonight come Night of Champions. He says that it\'s been discrimination that a Champion can be treated this way. Edge\'s music hits and he says that he\'s faced such obstacles too and as much as he\'s taken, he\'s dished it out as well. Edge finishes by saying that even after winning 29 Championships in the WWE, the Royal Rumble, The King of The Ring, the first ever Money In The Bank winner - he\'s still going into Night of Champions looking to be WWE Champion again. Edge\'s music hits and he walks down the ramp to the ring. Tonight\'s main event is next!

WWE vs. The Nexus, Five-on-Five Tag match

The commentary team remind us how Nexus decimated The UnderTaker earlier in the show. Now they take on five of WWE\'s best. Jericho and Tarver start off and we\'re told this is an elimination match. Jericho doesn\'t even throw a punch and chooses to walk off. He exits the ring and exits up the ramp. The ref counts Ten and Jericho\'s eliminated via Count-Out. Edge comes in and he shoves down the referee. He\'s now Disqualified! Shocking start to the match, but Cena comes in and he\'s all business against Tarver. Sheamus tags in and he too does an excellent job to wear Tarver down and get a Two-count. Taver tags Heath Slater and Sheamus hits a nice suplex. One, Two - Two-count. Sheamus continues the fight to Slater and dominates him to ringside. Back in the ring Slater manages to get the tag to David Otunga. Big guy against big guy here, but Sheamus does well to get Otunga down and then stomp on him in the corner. Otunga then manages to reverse an Irish whip which sends Sheamus chest-first into the opposite corner. Otunga tags Slater who stomps Sheamus down. Justin Gabriel tags in and throws haymakers at the WWE Champion before Wade Barrett tags in. He puts stomps on Sheamus as well and then tags in Slater. Team-work by Nexus. They disect Sheamus and eventually Slater puts Sheamus down for the Three-count. John Cena comes in and he looks to put Slater away with the Attitude Adjustment and he does. Nexus leader Wade Barrett comes in and he throws Cena to ringside. Nexus occupy their pack-of-dog mentality as they stomp down on Cena in numbers. Nexus then make to do what they did to Sheamus on Cena. Gabriel tags in and after some work on Cena, the home-state native kicks out of a couple of pin attempts. David Otunga tags in and tides turn when Cena gets the fishermans suplex on his opponent. An STF follows and Otunga taps out. Cena rolls away only to immediately get hit with a huge 450 by Gabriel who was already waiting. One, Two, Three! Cena\'s out! Orton comes in; RKO! Gabriel goes down and he\'s down for Three. Tarver comes in and *BAM* RKO! One, Two, Three! Tarver\'s out - but Barrett comes in and he gets Orton up high in a firemans\' carry *BOOM* Waste Land! One! Two! Three!

Winners: Nexus!

Wade Barrett makes it indeed an unforgettable night for The Nexus as WWE\'s 900th episode comes to a close with Barrett proving that he\'s ready for Night of Champions.
