8 Men Mega Tag Team Match on RAW
It was the main event of Monday Night RAW: an eight men mega tag team match where the best wrestlers of the RAW roster had to compete with each other. All the eight men involved in the mega tag team match were part of the Money in the Bank ladder match at the upcoming Pay Per View. The idea was to give these top wrestlers some momentum before they could go into the big match and use the ladders of mass destruction. The Money in the Bank match involves a briefcase which hangs high in the air above the ring floor. Wrestlers use ladders to retrieve the precious briefcase. The wrestler who succeeds in retrieving the briefcase becomes Mr. Money in the Bank and earns the contract to face the WWE champion at any point of time till the next one year. Wrestlers who participate in this match put everything at stake to win the briefcase.
The Mega Tag Team Match involved two teams of four wrestlers each. The first team comprised off Randy Orton, Evan Bourne, R-Truth and John Morrison. This team had to compete against the team of Edge, Ted DiBiase, The Miz and Chris Jericho. Chris Jericho is the same wrestling superstar who gave the idea of Money in the Bank ladder match. This idea was then implemented by the WWE administration. The two teams squared off against each other. Although the wrestlers were fighting in teams in the mega tag team match, every wrestler knew that it is every man for himself when it comes to climbing the ladder and retrieving the briefcase.
It was John Morrison who started the match against Ted DiBiase. John Morrison used his in ring athletic ability and rolled in the air to kick the jaw of Ted DiBiase. Ted DiBiase responded by slamming Morrison’s body on the ring floor. All wrestlers needed the win to carry the momentum to the Monday in the Bank ladder match. John Morrison tagged in Evan Bourne and Ted DiBiase tagged in Chris Jericho. Evan Bourne, who is known for his high flying fighting skills, jumped in the air and delivered a kick to the abdomen of Chris Jericho. Evan Bourne defeated Chris Jericho at the last Pay Per View and humiliated him in front of the crowd.
Both teams were frequently tagging in their partners to keep the fresh wrestler in the ring. But then the ‘Rated-R Superstar’, Edge, entered the ring and completely changed the momentum of the match. Edge picked up the high flying Evan Bourne and slammed his body on the ring floor. Edge also exhausted Evan Bourne and curtailed his every effort to tag Randy Orton. Edge then tagged in Ted DiBiase so that he could finish the job by executing his wrestling finisher and pinning Evan Bourne in the middle of the ring.
Then the crowd blew the rooftop with cheers as Evan Bourne tagged in the apex predator of WWE, Randy Orton. Randy Orton came in the ring and executed his famous wrestling finisher called the R.K.O. This wrestling finisher has become one of the most famous wrestling finishers of all time. In this finisher, Randy Orton grabs the neck of his opponent and gives it a jerk to smash his face on the ring floor. Randy Orton executed this finisher and quickly went for the cover as the referee counted to three with both shoulders of Ted DiBiase touching the ring floor.
This mega tag team match may be a preview of darker things to come. It is hard to choose the winner as all wrestlers possess unique and effective fighting skills. However, one thing is for certain that these 8 wrestling superstars will put their bodies and careers on the line as they square off against each other in the brutal Money in the Bank ladder match.
