Full WWE Raw Results: Bret Hart and Edge Return, Elimination Chamber

Edge

One night after winning the Royal Rumble, Edge returned to WWE Raw to talk about his win the night before and his plans for the future.

Not surprisingly, he shifted his focus to Chris Jericho. He said he got upset watching the Slammies a few weeks back and vowed that he would not miss another WrestleMania.

He promised that he was going to prove the doctors wrong, rehab his injury as hard as he could and he did.

He also didn’t pass up the opportunity to take a shot at Jericho’s recent arrest and his mugshot appearing on TMZ.

As for his title shot at WrestleMania, Edge stated that he won’t make up his mind about what title he would go after right away. Instead, he would wait until after the Elimination Chamber pay per view to make a decision.

However, he seemed to be leaning towards challenging Sheamus for the WWE Title.

Speaking of which, the Celtic Warrior came out during Edge’s segment and tried to stir the pot with the Rated R Superstar. Threatening violence, Sheamus follwed through and attacked the returning star. Edge would recover quickly and lay out the WWE Champion with a spear.

John Cena defeated Cody Rhodes in the first WWE Elimination Chamber qualifying match on Monday’s Raw.

The win came cleanly and did not feature outside interference from Randy Orton or Ted DiBiase despite their friction at Sunday’s Royal Rumble.

Rhodes managed to get in some offense, but eventually succumb to Cena’s Attitude Adjustment.

Cena and current WWE Champion Sheamus are the first two men entered in the match. Four spots remain open in the title match.

Earlier in the night Edge returned to WWE Raw and said that he would not decide on who he will face at WrestleMania until after the next pay per view. However, it looks like he’ll go after the WWE Championship on the Raw brand.

Triple H became the second man to qualify for the WWE Elimination Chamber match on Monday night at Raw.

The Game defeated Jack Swagger to earn a spot in the title match at the next WWE pay per view.

Triple H will be joined by current WWE Champion Sheamus and John Cena who defeated Cody Rhodes to earn a spot.

The pay per view will take place in three weeks.

Shawn Michaels and Randy Orton will wrestle in the next elimination chamber qualifying match.

Surprisingly, WWE did not go the route of breaking up DX after Shawn Michaels eliminated Triple H at Sunday’s Royal Rumble match.

In a backstage segment on Monday’s Raw, Triple H said that he would have done the same thing to Shawn if given the chance. There weren’t any hard feelings.

Further, he told Shawn that if he wins the Elimination Chamber match and becomes the new WWE Champion he doesn’t have a problem tearing down the house with him at WrestleMania.

Triple H also encouraged him to defeat Randy Orton in his qualifier for the Elimination Chamber, but HBK was still hung up about losing a shot at a rematch against the Undertaker.

Randy Orton defeated Shawn Michaels to qualify for the Elimination Chamber on Monday’s WWE Raw broadcast.

Michaels seemed to have the match in hand, but Orton was able to counter a Super Kick attempt and went on to get the pin over HBK.

Just as he was at the Royal Rumble, Michaels was visibly upset after losing the match. He stormed to the back, throwing his sweat bands in frustration along the way.

Ted DiBiase became the fourth man to qualify for the WWE Elimination Chamber match on Monday’s edition of Raw. DiBiase defeated Mark Henry cleanly to earn his spot.

The main event for next week’s WWE Monday Night Raw has been set. Triple H and Shawn Michaels will defend their WWE Tag Team Titles against Big Show and Miz as well as CM Punk and Luke Gallows.

WWE Raw guest host William Shatner set the match while spoofing his Priceline commercials.

If Miz and Big Show are successful, the former reality TV show star would double up on gold. He is currently the WWE United States Champion.

He came out to do commentary for Big Show’s Elimination Chamber qualifying match against Kofi Kingston on Monday night until MVP came out of the stands to attack him.

Kofi Kingston became the fifth and final qualifier for the WWE Raw brand Elimination Chamber match.

Kingston defeated Big Show via disqualification on Monday’s Raw to earn the spot.

Big Show inadvertently hit the ref with KO punch to draw the DQ.

Kingston joins John Cena, Triple H, Randy Orton and Ted DiBiase in the title match against Sheamus.

The Elimination Chamber pay per view will air on February 21.

Bret Hart returned to the WWE on Monday night during Raw, one month after being kicked in the gut by Vince McMahon. The two men closed the show with their confrontation.

The Hitman responded to McMahon’s comments about him over the last month following his assault. Hart threatened to kick his ass a number of times.

He also said that McMahon was the best there is, the best there was and the best there ever will be… liar that is.

Meanwhile, McMahon responded by saying that Hart had lost the touch he once had and that he frankly never had any to begin with. He insulted Hart’s entire career and even the way he dressed. Throwing fuel on the fire he said once again that Bret deserved to be screwed.

However, the capper was when McMahon said that Bret’s father Stu did not deserve to be in the WWE Hall of Fame.

With that, Hart did the old hockey move and lifted Vince’s jacket over his head and began punching him until Batista came out to make the save. The Animal beat down on the WWE Hall of Famer and then held him back so Vince could get in his shots.

The crowd chanted for John Cena, but he never came.
