Detailed Results

On what would promise to be a historic night, The 3-For-All kicked off with Chris Jericho successfully defending the Intercontinental Title against ex-champion Rey Mysterio. Jericho stated before the match that Rey’s mask would be his "downfall" and, much like at Extreme Rules, Jericho was right as Jericho twisted the mask to temporarily blind Rey Mysterio so that Jericho could hit the Codebreaker and retain the gold. On two different occasions, Rey Mysterio’s mask has cost him the Intercontinental Title. How can Rey defeat Jericho if Jericho knows how to use the mask to his advantage?

Backstage, championship hopeful Randy Orton vowed to win the WWE Title in the Fatal 4-Way and make Triple H "irrelevant" in the process. John Cena interrupts and calls Orton "spineless" and reminds Orton to not forget about him or Big Show in the championship match.

WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon made an appearance on RAW to name a new RAW General Manager. The Chairman starts by revealing that he will not be naming a new General Manager after all. Mr. McMahon then drops the bombshell announcement that he has sold Monday Night RAW! After 17 years, Mr. McMahon is no longer in control of RAW. The Chairman did not elaborate on who bought RAW, but said that he would reveal the new owner following the WWE Championship Match. McMahon then added that, before tonight, he would have told this individual that they had "no chance in hell" of owning RAW. What brought on this decision to sell RAW? Who could possibly be the new owner of Monday Night RAW?

In his first title defense, ECW Champion Tommy Dreamer successfully kept the title against "Captain Charisma" Christian. Who will be the next contender for the champion’s title?

Then it was time to determine who the new WWE Champion would be as "The Game" Triple H, John Cena, "The World’s Largest Athlete" Big Show, & "The Viper" Randy Orton battled in a Fatal 4-Way for the title. Big Show had suffered a Pedigree by Triple H and an Attitude Adjustment by John Cena before Randy Orton took advantage and hit the RKO on Big Show to reclaim the WWE Championship!

As promised, Mr. McMahon came out following the WWE Championship Match to announced the new owner of Monday Night RAW. The WWE Chairman states that he feels he made the right decision is selling RAW. Mr. McMahon then made the stunning announcement that RAW’s new owner is a fellow billionaire, a media-mogul, and an entrepeneur of the business world; none other than "The Donald" Donald Trump! Trump appeared via satellite with some major news for his newest acquisition. "The Donald" announced that, as a gesture of giving back to the WWE fans, next week’s RAW will air completely commercial-free! That means, two complete hours of RAW action with no commercials whatsoever! Trump then vowed to be on hand, live, for the historic RAW in Green Bay! After Trump finished his first appearance as the new RAW owner, Mr. McMahon stated that, with the permission of Donald Trump, he would appear on next week’s commercial-free RAW to present his "farewell address". What will the Chairman have to say in his final address to the RAW fans? For that matter, what will "The Donald" have to say in his first live address of  RAW as the new owner? What does Trump have planned for Monday Nights?

Mr. McMahon also said that he is still in control of RAW until next week’s show. The Chairman announced that there will be a 10-Man Battle Royal in the main event and the winner of that match will face the new WWE Champion Randy Orton for the title at The Bash! Later on in the show, the ten participants were revealed for the Battle Royal as being- "The Game" Triple H, "The Attitude Adjuster" John Cena, "The World’s Largest Athlete" Big Show, Legacy members Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase, "The Chick Magnet" The Miz, United States Champion Kofi Kingston, "The Ballin’ Superstar" MVP, "The Malicious" Matt Hardy, & the 2008 King of the Ring William Regal. Who will be the man to step up and challenge Randy Orton for the WWE Title in just under two weeks at The Bash?

With Divas Champion Maryse at ringside, Mickie James picked up a win over Rosa Mendes in Divas action.

 The odd couple of Goldust & Hornswoggle are using a t-shirt gun to rocket shirts into the crowd when The Miz comes out and ruins the festivities. Miz starts by addressing the new owner of RAW, Donald Trump, and saying that Miz should be the "new face of RAW" instead of John Cena. Miz then vows to win the Battle Royal and take the WWE Title from Randy Orton at The Bash. Miz then notices that Goldust & Hornswoggle are still in the ring. Miz demands that the fun-loving duo exit the ring. Goldust responds by saying that he is "disappointed" in The Miz and the way Miz has been acting since coming to RAW. Goldust then calls Miz a "loser" before Miz responds by calling Goldust a "waste of his time". Miz then cheap shots "The Bizzare One" with a microphone and then lays out Goldust with a DDT. Miz then turns his attention to the helpless Hornswoggle. Miz then grabs the t-shirt gun and blasts a rolled up t-shirt into the mid-section of "The Lively Leprechaun". How will Goldust & Hornswoggle respond to this attack by The Miz?

In the last of four championship matches on the show, CM Punk defended the World Heavyweight Title against "The Rated-R Superstar" Edge & "The Extreme Enigma" Jeff Hardy. During the match, CM Punk was thrown to the outside by Edge and Punk landed knee-first onto the steel steps, which temporarily took the champion out of the contest. Back in the ring, Jeff got the advantage over Edge and laid Edge out with the Twist of Fate and followed it up with the Swanton Bomb. Just as it looked like Jeff would regain the World Heavyweight Title, the opportunistic CM Punk pulled Jeff out of the ring and pinned Edge to survive the Triple Threat Match with his World Heavyweight Title intact. After the match, SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long came out and announced a big match for The Bash as it will be CM Punk defending the World Heavyweight Title against Jeff Hardy! Can the resourceful "Straightedge Superstar" hang on to his title again or will Jeff Hardy get his revenge from Extreme Rules by taking the title from CM Punk?

Another championship match was announced for The Bash as it will be Primo & Carlito making their first pay-per-view defense of the Unified WWE Tag Team Titles against Legacy’s Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase.

Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase were on guest commentary as their Bash opponents, Primo & Carlito, faced ECW’s Hart Dynasty in a non-title match. After Carlito hit the Back Stabber on David Hart Smith, Rhodes & DiBiase rushed the ring and assaulted both Primo & Carlito to send a message to the champions for their match at The Bash. Who will leave The Bash as the Unified WWE Tag Team Champions? Will Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase make Legacy a "trio of champions" or will Primo & Carlito retain their tag titles?

Backstage, Mr. McMahon receives a phone call from RAW’s new owner, Donald Trump. Trump told the Chairman that he will be making another major announcement following the #1 Contender’s Battle Royal! After buying Monday Night RAW and presenting a commercial-free edition of the show next week, what else could "The Donald" possibly have up his sleeve?

Earlier, a new WWE Champion was crowned in Randy Orton. The main event would determine who Randy Orton would be defending the title against at The Bash. In the 10-Man Battle Royal, it was Big Show eliminating Matt Hardy & MVP followed by Big Show getting eliminated by all of the other seven participants in the match! With their "marching orders" from their leader, Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase set out to eliminate the opposition for Orton. Rhodes & DiBiase eliminated Kofi Kingston & Wulliam Regal before John Cena eliminated Ted DiBiase. Triple H then followed suit by eliminating Cody Rhodes. Despite their elimination, Rhodes & DiBiase came back into the ring and assaulted Triple H. Referees were able to get the two of them out of the ring, but the damage was done. With Triple H & John Cena down in the ring, a forgotten combatant slid into the ring. Earlier in the match, The Miz rolled under the bottom rope following a chokeslam by Big Show and stayed out of the ring until that moment. Miz then attempted to eliminate Triple H & John Cena, but the two low-bridged The Miz, sending Miz over the top rope and out of title contention. With John Cena’s attention on The Miz, Triple H quickly eliminated Cena to become the #1 Contender for the WWE Title at The Bash!

There was one more piece of business to be conducted on the historic RAW as RAW’s new owner, Donald Trump, promised another major announcement. "The Donald" then made the blockbuster announcement that Triple H is the new #1 Contender, but "The Game" will not be facing Randy Orton for the title at The Bash because Randy Orton & Triple H will square off in a Last Man Standing Match for the WWE Title on next week’s commercial-free RAW! Trump bought Monday Night RAW from Mr. McMahon, made next week’s show a commercial-free broadcast, vowed to make a live appearance on next week’s RAW, and made a huge WWE Title match for next week. What else does Trump have in store for RAW? Who will leave next week’s RAW with the WWE Championship? Will the champion Randy Orton or the challenger Triple H be the Last Man Standing next week?
