Raw Rebound was next. It highlighted this past Monday's show featuring Mike Tyson as guest host. Tyson was in the main event tag match as Chris Jericho's partner against D-Generation X.

It seemed Tyson was ready to take out DX early on, but in the end of the match, after a distracting ring entrance by Hornswoggle in boxing gear, Tyson tore off his black T-shirt to reveal a DX shirt. Jericho turned around to see Tyson's changed clothing, and then received a hard righthand punch to the face from the former boxing champ. DX took the winning pin. To close out Raw, Mike Tyson, his son, Hornswoggle, Shawn Michaels and Triple H did the customary DX chop shot as their pyrotechnics exploded from the ring in "X" formation.

Superstars took a break, which featured a CM Punk Straightedge Superstars promo ad.
