Fans watching last night's RAW were likely surprised at the way the main event finished. Not many people expected Shelton Benjamin to have a chance of getting a win over Triple H, and neither did his co-workers in the RAW locker room.
"I couldn't believe he (Triple H) did it", one source told us. "That three seconds did a lot to improve morale," he added.
Another source we talked to said he respected Triple H for "lighting a fire under Benjamin".
"It didn't hurt him a bit, but it sure helped Benjamin," another source told us.

Agents seem to be very happy with the Undertaker vs Booker T matches at recent house shows. Despite both matches apparently being complete squashes making Booker T look very weak, WWE higher-ups thought they looked very good in the ring together.
WWE are looking for The Undertaker to take over as Smackdown's big babyface, whilst trying to establish Booker T as a top heel.
The company seem to have already started considering what it will take for Bradshaw to make it as a top heel.

Three professional wrestlers and World Wrestling Entertainment are being sued in Maricopa County by flight attendants who allege the wrestlers sexually harassed them aboard a chartered luxury airplane.
The suit, filed late Monday in Superior Court, accuses Ric "The Nature Boy" Flair, Scott "The Diamond Stud" Hall and Dustin "Golddust" Rhodes of "extreme and outrageous" behavior on a return flight from Europe aboard Phoenix-based SportsJet on May 5, 2002.
The suit alleges Flair wore only a jeweled cape, flashed his penis and forced a flight attendant to touch his crotch. It claims that Hall asked a flight attendant to give him oral sex and licked the face of another attendant. Runnels, the suit says, grabbed one attendant and said they were going to have sex.
The suit also said other wrestlers on the return flight from Europe repeatedly groped the attendants.
Calls to World Wrestling Entertainment Inc., based in Stamford, Conn., were not returned. An official for SportsJet could be reached for comment.
SportsJet also is being investigated over the allegations by the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
The company is owned by Phoenix Coyotes owner Jerry Moyes, the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Phoenix Suns. It provides flights for the three teams, as well as other teams, athletes and rock stars.
