WWE Raw - 3/12/07; Vince McMahon and Donald Trump - the Battle of the Billionaires

March 12, 2007, WashingtonD.C. Raw.

RAW began with a replay from last week of Shawn Michael telling John Cena that he didn't want or need his help, followed by the video of Michaels getting attacked with a chair by Edge and Randy Orton. John Cena's clip was next, in which he said he didn't need Michaels' help. Then, the show cut to the clip of Johnny Nitro and Joey Mercury attacking Cena. At first, Michaels looked on. He then jumped into the ring to break up the fight.

This week's show started with John Cena coming to the ring to talk about last week. He said for six weeks he has had to think about whether or not Shawn Michaels will stab him in the back. He issued a challenge: If he is going to do it, come and do it now. On cue, Michaels strutted to the ring. Cena confronted him, "The only reason you have my back is for the WWE championship." Michaels acquiesced, proclaiming that his only goal now is, "To walk out of Wrestlemania the WWE champion." He continued, "The real question is, when John Cena will turn on HBK."

Jonathan Coachman then comes out on to the ramp with a microphone. The crowd began to chant, "YOU SUCK". Coach said there will be 3 matches for the World Tag Team Titles. The third and final match will take place in a steel cage.

The camera then faded. Donald Trump is then seen getting out of a limousine.

The Raw matches kicked off with a triple threat elimination to decide the final "Money in the Bank" qualifier. The match featured Ric Flair, Carlito, and Randy Orton. When the bell rang both Ric Flair and Carlito headed straight for Orton. Landing numerous chops to the chest Flair pinned Orton, but got only a 2 count. Immediately, Carlito picked him up, body slammed him and pinned him. Again there was only a 2 count. Flair and Carlito worked together until they had a verbal disagreement and Flair pushed Carlito. It wasn't long until Randy Orton put an RKO on Flair, pinned him, got the 3 count, and eliminated him from the match. Ric Flair will not compete in the "Money in the Bank" match at Wrestlemania. It will now be either Randy Orton or Carlito as the final qualifier
