Wwe Raw- Ultimate Impact 2009 99%

– Just one night after WrestleMania 25, the WWE Universe was buzzing. But instead of the usual “post-Mania lull,” WWE pulled off a rare live special: RAW: Ultimate Impact . Billed as a night where “no titles are safe and no rivalry is too old,” the show from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California, delivered chaos, returns, and one of the most shocking endings in Raw history. Triple H vs. Randy Orton – Last Man Standing The night kicked off with the resurgent D-Generation X member Triple H seeking revenge after Orton’s sickening attack on the McMahon family. In a brutal Last Man Standing match, Orton used steel steps, a sledgehammer, and even RKO’d The Game through the announce table. But Hunter answered the ten-count at 8, delivering a pedigree on the exposed concrete floor. Winner: Triple H (9:42) John Cena vs. Edge – “I Quit” Match for the World Heavyweight Championship After Edge cashed in Money in the Bank at WrestleMania, Cena demanded an immediate rematch. With Vickie Guerrero at ringside, the match descended into weapon-filled mayhem. Edge locked Cena in the Edgecator using a steel chair for leverage. Cena screamed “I QUIT!” but the referee ruled it a microphone malfunction. Cena then locked Edge in the STF while taping Edge’s head to the mat. Edge sobbed “I quit” after 14 minutes of carnage. Winner and NEW World Heavyweight Champion: John Cena (14:07) CM Punk vs. Chris Jericho – Submission Match for the Intercontinental Championship A technical classic. Punk’s Anaconda Vise vs. Jericho’s Walls of Jericho. After 20 minutes, Jericho locked in the Liontamer, but Punk refused to tap. Punk countered into a small package and transitioned into the Anaconda Vise. Jericho tapped just as the time limit expired (20:00). The match was ruled a draw, so Jericho retained the title. The crowd gave them a standing ovation. The Undertaker’s Shocking Return The main event segment saw Shawn Michaels address his WrestleMania loss to Undertaker. Before HBK could speak, the lights went out. GONG. ‘Taker appeared in the ring, grabbed Michaels by the throat, and simply whispered: “One more match… at Backlash… inside Hell in a Cell.” The Deadman then vanished, leaving Michaels terrified. Final Match: Batista vs. Randy Orton (Steel Cage) After Orton attacked Batista backstage earlier, Batista demanded the main event be changed. The Animal speared Orton through the cage door just 4 minutes in, then powerbombed Orton off the top of the cage onto a pile of chairs below. Winner: Batista (4:02)

After the show went off the air, Vince McMahon announced that Ultimate Impact would return in 2010 as a quarterly special on the USA Network. WWE RAW: Ultimate Impact 2009 didn’t exist in reality, but if it had, it would be remembered as one of the most intense, title-changing, and storyline-progressing nights of the Ruthless Aggression Era’s twilight.
