3)Shawn Michaels vs. Randy Orton
WWE Title Match

Michaels managed to trip Orton down to the mat and slapped an ankle lock on. Orton crawled over to the ropes and HBK pulled him back into the center of the ring. Orton finally managed to roll Michaels over onto his stomach and used his leg to hit HBK, breaking the hold. Later on, Orton went for the RKO and Michaels shoved him away. HBK went for the Sweet Chin Music, then hesitated realizing it was against the rules. Orton took advantage and connected on the RKO to pin Michaels.

Randy Orton wins via pinfall over Shawn Michaels to retain the WWE title.



2)Great Khali vs. John Cena
WWE Title Match
Judgement Day (5/20/07)

An undefeated Khali took the fight to the champ in this match. Khali smashed Cena's head into the outside announce tables, then brought him in the ring for more punishment. Khali applied his famous vice grip hold to the shoulder of Cena. Cena finally broke out of the grip, then ran off the ropes. Cena flew into Khali twice and Khali fell back getting tangled in the ropes. Khali finally got out and delivered a boot to Cena's face knocking the chamo down. Khali went for a chop as Cena stood up, and Khali tossed Cena out of the ring.

Outside the ring, Cena saw Khali approaching, so he dropkicked the steel steps into Khali's leg. A hobbled Khali got into the ring, but was down. Cena took advantage and jumped off the corner ropes to deliver a legdrop. Cena then locked in the STFU on Khali and eventually the Punjabi giant tapped out.

John Cena wins via submission over The Great Khali to retain the WWE title.



1) Jericho Returns to Raw (11/19/07)

2007 marked the return of Y2J Chris Jericho. On this episode of Raw, Randy Orton claimed he had beaten all opponents, and informally held his Torch Passing Ceremony. As the marathon runner made his way backstage he was all of a sudden clotheslined down. The man interrupting the ceremony, was none other than Y2J himself. After a "Did you break the code?" video and Jericho's entrance video, out came Y2J. Jericho came out to an arena full of cheering fans and informed Orton he was there to save Raw and the WWE from him.
