Tonight’s RAW was live from Nashville, Tennessee, and helped heat up the Road to WrestleMania.

Mike Knox beat Jaime Noble in 29 seconds.
It was announced that Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat would be inducted into the Class of 2009 Hall of Fame. Michael Cole then interviewed Steamboat, but Chris Jericho interrupted him. Jericho cut a scathing promo about Steamboat being a has-been in the industry, and then Steamboat then responded with the promo of his life defending his honor.
John Cena pinned Chavo Guerrero in short order.
“The Legacy” – Randy Orton, Ted DiBiase & Cody Rhodes came out in anticipation of Triple H’s arrival, complete with Orton brandishing a sledgehammer. Sure enough HHH shows up, with his own sledgehammer. Orton and HHH drop their sledgehammers, only for HHH to have another hammer hidden behind his back. He gives chase to Legacy through the back of the arena, and cornered Orton and DiBiase in a locker room. Legacy managed to get away from HHH in a speeding car.
