Dot Net reader Christopher Scull attended the WWE Raw taping in London today and passed along the following results.

There's a lively crowd. It's not the standard Raw set. There's a bar at the top and the left of the stage is absent.

Dark Match

1. William Regal pinned Dolph Ziggler in five minutes.

Raw Taping

Chris Jericho came out and said he was happy to be leaving Raw. Ricky Steamboat came out. Jericho challenged Steamboat to a match at Backlash, and Steamboat accepted. John Cena came out and said that Vickie Guerrero wasn't at the show, but had ruled that Jericho's final act on Raw would be to face him later in the show.

Chavo Guerrero came out and said he can do more than push Vickie's wheelchair.

1. Batista defeated Chavo Guerrero. Batista squashed him in three seconds. Chavo said he wasn't ready. Batista came back and gave him another Batista Bomb.

2. C.M. Punk pinned Kane in five minutes. They botched the end of the match, which was a reversal out of Kane's chokeslam into a small package. They cut the music, restarted the match, and botched the finish again. Funny.

Santino Marella was out next. He invited his sister to join him in the ring. 'She' appeared on the screen. They interacted and she said she had a blister. Santino started a poem, but Santina started spooling on the screen. Beth came out and said Vickie said that Santina must kiss Great Khali at Backlash.

3. Melina beat Beth Phoenix in five minutes. Beth speared her stalker at the close of the match. Looked a bit botched.

4. Chris Jericho vs. John Cena ended in chaos. Edge came out and Conchairto'd Cena. It was a great match that lasted roughly 30 minutes. Both men kicked out of finishers and it was a genuine four-star match. After hitting Cena with the chairs, Edge said the winner of the Last Man Standing match at Backlash would be the person who knocks his opponent out. He counted to 10 while Cena laid prone on the mat.

5. Big Show defeated Rey Mysterio in a non-title match. Another five-minute match. Show finished him with the knockout punch. The ref called the doctor in after to look at Rey in the ring, though there was no X sign from Charles Robinson. Seemed like an injury angle.

6. Randy Orton defeated Triple H in a non-title, no DQ match. The match went about 20 minutes. Legacy came out to interfere. Batista and Shane ran out to counter them in intervals. Batista accidentally speared Shane and then pushed Triple H to avoid an attack from DiBiase. During the melee, Triple H took an RKO from Orton and was pinned.

Dark Match Main Event

1. John Cena defeated Edge to retain the World Hvt. Championship.
