Monday Night Raw Results
Aired on: January 11th, 2010
Guest Host: Mike Tyson
Report by: Richard Trionfo & PWInsider.com
We are live from Minneapolis, Minnesota and your announcers are Michael ‘Vintage Favre’ Cole and Jerry ‘Where is Jesse Ventura tonight . . . it’s a conspiracy’ Lawler.
We begin with Justin Roberts introducing the guest host, Mike Tyson. Mike says that it is great to be back on Raw. He mentions the last time he was on Raw and he says that it was a memorable appearance. We go back to 1998 when Steve Austin came out to interrupt Mike Tyson and Austin’s salute to Tyson. Then we go to footage from Wrestlemania XIV when Tyson turned on DX and punched Shawn Michaels.
The fans chant ‘you screwed Shawn’ and Mike likes it. He says that it is nice to be here, but he is interrupted by the WWE
Champion, Sheamus.
Sheamus comes to the ring and he wonders why Tyson was announced as one of the most iconic figures of the 20th Century. He calls Tyson a washed up ex champion. Sheamus holds up his belt and says that he is the champion and therefore the baddest man on the planet. Tyson wants to punch Sheamus, but Sheamus flinches. Sheamus dares Tyson to do it again.
Randy Orton comes out to the ring and he tells Mike that he is not interested in a SportsCenter moment. He is interested in the WWE Title. Randy points out that Sheamus doesn’t have an opponent for the Royal Rumble, so he wants to be named the number one contender.
Not to be out done, John Cena’s music plays and he comes to the ring. John says hello to everyone and he says that he is here to see Mike Tyson. He is here because the Packers are out of the playoffs and the Vikings are still in. He says that he is here for the WWE Title.
Sheamus reminds Cena that he is not getting a title shot at the Royal Rumble. Cena pulls a Morrison and mocks an accent. Cena reminds Sheamus that he beat him last time they met. Cena says that he has beaten everyone in the ring. Cena says that he even beat Mike Tyson and then goes through all of the characters on Mike Tyson’s Punch Out. Cena says that he deserves the title match.
Since there is still room in the ring, Kofi Kingston comes out. Randy wants to know why Kofi is in the ring because he lost last week. Kofi admits that he lost last week and he might not have any business in the ring, but Orton and Cena have already been WWE Champions and have had many title matches. Kofi points out that he has never had a title match. Kofi says that he is not going to wait in the back for his chance. Kofi says that he wants a chance at the WWE Title. Kofi says that he will not take no for an answer.
Sheamus says that since he is a better champion than Tyson because he defended his title more frequently than Tyson when he was champ, he wants the Royal Rumble off. Sheamus tells the other men in the ring to earn his shot at the Royal Rumble.
Tyson says that he doesn’t want to be compared to Sheamus. Tyson says that they have a match tonight and the winner will face Sheamus at the Royal Rumble. Cena likes the idea.
We go to commercial.

Ted says that he cannot agree with Cody more because it is his year. Ted wonders if Cody disagrees with him. Ted points out that Cody’s dad says that he has ‘movie star good looks’ but Ted points out that he is a movie star. He points out that people say that it is better than the original Marine.
