STORYLINE DEVELOPMENTS
* Undertaker appeared on Raw and gave a great shoot to HBK. Taker's in-ring ability may have diminished in recent years as he grows older, but his shoots the past few weeks have been great in promoting this match.
* The reason Triple H didn't show in Jacksonville is because he tried a little bit of breaking and entering fun with a sledgehammer "in St Louis", where Randy Orton was interviewed in his "home" (it was actually done in Florida according to WrestleZone). After a few minutes of throwing Randy Orton out a window and breaking other IKEA-made things, the "police" showed up and HHH was "arrested", as Randy Orton was held back to avoid fighting Hunter further.
* And now for a moment I'm ashamed of: John Cena made me laugh last night. During Contract Signing II: Electric Boogaloo between Show and Edge, Cena got entered in the WHC match at WM25, making it a triple threat. As it turns out, Cena got this entry because of what he said to make Vickie cry at FNSD last Friday: Cena had some footage to show from his hometown of Boston, where Raw was last week. It revealed that Big Show and Vickie had been having an affair behind Edge's back. To which Cena replied: "Vickie, you got some 'splainin to do!", using Ricky Ricardo's voice from I Love Lucy. I am so ashamed of laughing at that. Long story short, it's Cena in a title triple threat for the 2nd straight year, I have no honor left, and I hope that Edge gets the triple threat win in Houston (though we all know what's going to happen).
