When no one took Mr. McMahon's offer for an Intercontinental Championship Match against Umaga on the April 16 Raw in Milan, the Chairman looked to the crowd for someone to face the Samoan Bulldozer.
Enter Santino Marella.
Marella, sitting in the front row, volunteered to face Umaga. Marella got off to a quick start, quick enough for Mr. McMahon to change the match into a No Holds Barred Match. It appeared as if Umaga would destroy Marella under those circumstances, but ECW World Champion Bobby Lashley prevented that. McMahon thought Lashley wasn't in Milan, but he was proven wrong. After the ECW Champion nailed the Samoan Bulldozer with a chair and a vicious spear, he put Marella on top of Umaga. Marella scored the winning pinfall, becoming the Intercontinental Champion in one of the most improbable moments in Raw history.
Enter Santino Marella.
