WWE RAW 6/16: Street Fights and Bikini Blowouts
WWE RAW Results 6/16/08
John Cena def. Umaga
No Million Dollar Giveaway and password at the show’s start? That’s good news. Instead we get Cena and HHH feuding in a Night of Champions promo. They’re really angry at each other but we’re happy the Million Dollar Mania isn’t the night’s focus. Can it continue? Vince McMahon breaks up their argument to announce the giveaway password - Watch Ray & Win - which is hardly a “password” at all. Oh, well.
Instead of Vince bumbling through the phone we immediately get a terrific “Street Fight” (no DQ’s) match between Umaga and John Cena. Cena finally seems fully recovered from his pectoral injury as evidenced by tonight’s high risk maneuvers, two attempts to lift Umaga, and the fact that he wasn’t fighting JBL for the 50th time since May. Once Umaga throws the steel stairs into the ring you know the match was over; those things are far too dangerous. Umaga’s recent losing streak has to mean one thing: he’s moving away from RAW next Monday at the Draft. This match and its setup take about 30 minutes and was a great start to RAW.
Can our good luck continue? Yes and no. Vince staggers again through dialing the digits, gives so MON-ay away to an excited man from Virginia Beach, and announces a WWE Divas bikini contest.
SCCCRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHH.
That was the show’s momentum.

Did I mind seeing the beautiful ladies? No, but there is no way Eve Torres should have lost to Maria. No reason whatsover.
This week the Million Dollar winners are interacting with Vince and seemed (gasp!) prepped ahead of time. A man from North Carolina responds to Vince’s ‘who is the greatest person to come out of the Tarheel State’ question with ‘Ric Flair’ much to McMahon’s disappointment. Evidently Vince was born in Pinehurst, N.Car.
Could the Nature Boy reference be foreshadowing tonight’s future events? I have my suspicions.
