Blackpool Blackout

Seething from Mr. Kennedy's coronation crash earlier, a besmirched William Regal pulled the plug on Raw tonight. Before the conclusion of new WWE Champion Triple H's title bout with Randy Orton, the Blackpool, Englishman made Raw go black.

Fan report from prowrestling.net:

After the long crossface spot which was the last thing seen on TV, both Randy Orton and Triple H got a few more moves in before William Regal came down the ramp and told the referee, very calmly, to ring the bell. The crowd hated him, and he explained that since they were disrespectful to him during his coronation ceremony, they did not deserve to see the conclusion of this match—almost the same wording as on TV.

The referee reluctantly signaled to ring the bell and the timekeeper did. Orton made his way up the ramp looking angry at Regal, and HHH ran up behind him and gave him a double axehandle. They moved back to the ring with the ref trying to keep them apart, insisting the match was over. Triple H hit the Pedigree on Orton, posed for awhile, and walked down the ramp to the back with the WWE Championship belt, which did not change hands.
