Note(s)
John McCain, Hillary Clinton, & Barack Obama all pre-taped very cheesy messages to the WWE fans to show on RAW. They spouted off stupid lines that were obviously scripted by WWE (which is what makes it even worse). While the three presidential candidates appeared on the videos, WWE still did another horrible parody match with a fake Hillary (with a fake Bill Clinton, who was the best part) versus a fake Barack. It was painful.
It was confirmed on RAW that Mr. Kennedy will return to RAW next week in East Rutherford, NJ.
