ECW I: Swagger Wins the Big One

For the first time in its history, we were treated to a 90 Minute Edition of ECW.  Just one week before the Draft, superstars were getting ready for things to be shaken up.  And boy, were things shaken up.

"The Tuesday Night Delight" John Morrison and his Tag Team Partner Dolph Ziggler made it known that they were the best in the business, and said that the Battle Creek Crowd didn't deserve to be graced with their presence.  This brought out Evan Bourne and ECW Newcomer Ren.  Bourne and Ren challenged Morrison and Ziggler to a match for the ECW Tag Team Championships.  Morrison and Ziggler controlled most of the match, but in the end, it was Bourne and Ren that walked out of Battle Creek with the ECW Tag Team Championships after Morrison accidentally knocked Ziggler's lights out with a Springboard Kick, allowing Bourne and Ren to capitalize and leave with the gold.

Chris Jericho put The Undertaker on notice, letting The Deadman know that he has a Rematch Clause, and he intends to cash it in and win back the ECW Championship.

That was earlier in the night.  After a grueling match with Mark Henry - in which The Deadman emerged victorious after a Tombstone Piledriver - The Undertaker was brutally assaulted by The World's Strongest Man.  Henry left after planting The Deadman with not one - but two - World's Strongest Slams.  Just when it seemed like things couldn't get any worse for The Deadman, Jack Swagger - Mr. Money in the Bank - made his way to the ring.  The Deadman sat up, but Swagger blasted him with the Briefcase, destroying any hopes that The Deadman had of getting to his feet.  Swagger cashed in the Briefcase and hit The defenseless Deadman with a Swagger Bomb, right before pinning him to win the ECW Championship.  The question remains--has Swagger made a mistake and gotten on The Deadman's bad side?

In a weird turn of events, Ted DiBiase was found unconscious in his locker room just minutes before his U.S. Title Tournament Match with Tyson Kidd.  Kidd tried to get the Referee to declare him the winner, but Theodore Long would have none of it, telling Kidd that Kurt Angle would take DiBiase's place, and face Kidd next week.

U.S. Champion Dustin Delta saw success in a match with Matt Hardy thanks to a distraction from his wife Rachel.  Delta said he wasn't going to face Kurt Angle at Backlash, but now, he may have no choice.

Bourne/Mysterio, (4/5) Sunday Night Heat Results

It has been announced that Evan Bourne will go one-on-one with Rey Mysterio next Monday on Raw.

The April 5, 2009 Edition of Sunday Night Heat was only thirty minutes long due to the fact that it was on the night of Wrestlemania 25.

-Paul Burchill (w/Katie Lea Burchill) defeated Ricky Ortiz with a Roll-Up Pin.

-Heat World Champion William Regal defeated Kenny Wilds after a Running Knee to the side of the head.  Layla was not present during this match.

Raw I: Big Red Victory - Recap

It's time to move past Wrestlemania 25, and move forward to Backlash.

Speaking of moving forward, "The Legend Killer" Randy Orton made it clear that he was done with Shawn Michaels, and that he was ready to become the World Heavyweight Champion again.  Orton made it through the night okay, but the same could not be said for Devon Immortal, who suffered a vicious attack at the hands of Shawn Michaels.

That brings up the question--has Randy Orton truly put an end to Shawn Michaels?  Apparently Shawn Michaels doesn't think so.

In an exciting contest of sorts, "The Fighting Irishman" Finlay defeated Lord Smith to advance to Round 3 of the WWE United States Championship Tournament.  Remember that the winner of the Tournament will face the current WWE United States Champion, Dustin Delta, at Backlash.

Speaking of Dustin Delta, he made a very impressive showing this past Monday on Raw, coming very close to defeating Kane, the World Heavyweight Champion.  It was Kane who emerged victorious, though, thanks to a little help from "The Wrestling Machine" Kurt Angle.

Rey Mysterio and Devon Immortal - at different times - mentioned that they want a match for the World Heavyweight Championship.  With Backlash just three weeks away, it's likely that a match for the World Heavyweight Championship will be made sooner than later.

The question is--who will face Kane for the World Heavyweight Championship?

In another exciting contest, Cryme Tyme proved that they deserve to be the WWE Tag Team Champions, defeating "The Gold Standard" Shelton Benjamin and "The Chick Magnet" The Miz in a very competitive match-up.

Draft Lottery - Champion vs. Champion Match Announced

On Raw this Monday, current WWE Champion CM Punk will take on the new ECW Champion Jack Swagger in a Champion vs. Champion Match.

While no Titles will be on the line, the winner will receive two Draft Picks for their brand.

(4/10) Smackdown, Ziggler/Morrison, Backlash

On the (4/10) Edition of Smackdown - just three days before the Draft Lottery - "The Extreme Enigma" Jeff Hardy will team up with John Cena to take on "The Rated-R Superstar" Edge and "The Moscow Mauler" Vladimir Kozlov.

It is expected that John Morrison will go one-on-one with Dolph Ziggler on the next ECW.  It has been rumored, but nothing has been confirmed yet.
