He's called the "Baddest Man on the Planet" for a reason, people. When Mike Tyson took control of Raw, he didn't dictate from a cushy office, he wanted to see action in the ring for the first time in years. And what Mike wants, Mike gets. The boxing legend teamed with Chris Jericho against DX in the main event. When the match got underway, though, Tyson played a little rope-a-dope with Jericho, siding with DX and knocking out the arrogant Superstar.

Billionaire entreprenuer Mark Cuban made his mark on Monday Night Raw on the Dallas Mavericks owner's homecourt. Unlike any other guest host to date, Cuban sat at ringside for the entire night - much like he does courtside for eachMavs game - but he was far from idle.
