Raw Recap from Orlando, FL:

Raw opened with the crowd going wild as Triple H made his way out to the ring. The fans continued cheering and kicked off a "Triple H" chant. Triple H said he had the job tonight of introducing tonight's special guest host for Raw, Seth Green. Seth Green arrived to the ring doing all sorts of antics including a Hulk Hogan pose on the ring corner. Seth said he can do anything he wants tonight so he thought he'd start off with a Six Diva Swimsuit Summer Spectacular.

After the clip was shown, Seth Green and HHH joked about Orton being a whiny little girl.

Randy Orton made his way down to the ring and told HHH he had the WWE title which HHH doesn't have. Orton began to tell off Seth Green next and told him he's got an anger management issue. Triple H suggested that Seth book Triple H versus Orton for the main event. Orton said there's no need for him to do that. HHH said he'd drop Orton right there and right now then. Orton backed away, saying he has nothing to say until Night of Champions. Orton was about to leave the ring, but then turned back to insult Seth Green some more, saying he only came to Raw to be mistaken for a real man.
