  At the Big Show-Floyd Mayweather weigh-in, The World’s Largest Athlete outweighed The Greatest Fighter in the World by a daunting 300 pounds. While Show reveled in the disparity, Mayweather made it clear that he would not be intimidated. That’s when a fuming Big Show scooped up the WBC welterweight champion and hurled him into a crowd of fellow Superstars. Show then lumbered out of the ring as trainers attended to Mayweather.

  Taking advantage of his Triple Threat Takeover, Randy Orton threw John Cena in a match against his WrestleMania 23 opponent, Shawn Michaels. Things didn’t turn out exactly as the Legend Killer had hoped. In an attempt at throwing the victory to HBK, Orton attacked The Showstopper and then went to RKO “The Champ.” But then Cena turned the tables and leveled Orton with an FU. Next week's Raw will be taken over by Triple H, who informed Cena & Orton that they would be taking on the entire Raw roster.

  In a title match at the Bradley Center, Jeff Hardy found himself dragged back down to earth by the resolute hands of Chris Jericho. While Hardy had been on an enviable winning streak for months, his lion-hearted rival would not be rebuffed. The pair swapped blows, ascending the ropes and taking to the air throughout the match. In the end, however, the determination fixed on Y2J’s face proved too overwhelming to surmount.

  Stars from SmackDown & ECW competed in special "WrestleMania Rewind" competitions. Umaga and Batista came to blows before their battle for brand supremacy in Orlando. The Undertaker defeated Mark Henry in a Casket Match. Edge defeated CM Punk, Finlay defeated Mr. Kennedy, and Triple H defeated Kane. Also, a potential WrestleMania I rematch between The Iron Sheik & Nikolai Volkoff and the U.S. Express, Mike Rotunda & Barry Windham was interrupted by Jillian Hall, whose awful singing was silenced by an airplane spin from Rotunda.
