The televised week of wrestling got off to a hot start Monday night as RAW took center stage in Bakersfield, California. The night was highlighted by a long Vince promo about his challenge at WrestleMania vs Donald Trump, and we found out that Umaga is the man that will represent McMahon. Next week we will find out who Trump's wrestler will be, but if you read the update above, you can find out who it is. The main event was actually at one time the planned WrestleMania main event, as John Cena took on Randy Orton. The match ended with a DQ win for Cena when Edge interfered, and then Shawn Michaels came in to help Cena. They teased Cena and Shawn going at it, and ended the solid show from there.

The show was very good from top to bottom, and started it with a title change as Jeff Hardy dropped the IC belt to Umaga in a bit of a squash. Hardy got just a bit of offense, and was basically a beating post for Umaga. I felt that they would put the IC belt on someone like Kenny, but I guess we'll see if they keep the strap on Umaga for Mania, or if he will drop it in the weeks leading up to the huge event. I don't see that happening though since they want to keep him strong for the much pushed Mania match.

Ric Flair and Carlito teamed up to beat Trevor Murdoch and Lance Cade. You can already see an angle coming where Flair (likely in the next 2-3 weeks) turns on Carlito, making another WM match. The word for the past month or so now is that Flair wants to go heel, and he and Carlito would make a solid undercard WM match.

A very solid match on the show was RVD vs Edge in a Money in the Bank qualifying match. The match had a lot of high spots, and both guys you could tell worked hard to make it look good. In the end, Edge came out the winner after getting some help from Randy Orton. This does change my thoughts that we would see Edge vs Orton at Mania, and now I think they are going to have both men in the Money in the Bank match, and since Edge has already won it once, I can see Orton getting a chance to win the match and have a title shot in 2007.

We had a second title change as Melina took home the women's belt with a win over Mickie James. The match was solid for a women's match, and I don't have a problem with Melina having the belt. They are setting up a womens title match at Mania between Melina and , as they did a bit where they showed Ashley Sunday at the PPV basically nude, and Melina was all peeved about it backstage.

Khali beat the Highlanders in a 1-2 handicapped match, which was a squash. They also announced that Mr.Perfect would be the next inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame, which will come the night before Mania. A great choice, and we already have two solid names announced for the event in Dusty Rhodes and Curt Henning.

That was the show along with the main event, which was a good match and gave us more to feed off of going into next week. They are going to have a tag title rematch between Michaels and Cena vs Edge and Orton, and this will be the match where they get the belts off of Shawn and Cena, and likely it will really start the huge push for Mania. They are doing a mini-type push as if one is going to turn on the other, and they keep pushing it like Shawn is going to take out Cena. I think if they want to do a major swerve, make Cena the heel for this match and have him turn on Shawn, but in the end, I think the two will stay true to face form till the match in Detroit.
