0:00-0:03-A special opening package airs highlighting the Jericho and Triple H feud. The feud is set to come to a climax tonight when Triple H challenges Jericho for the Undisputed Championship. There is absolutely no debate, this is the biggest match in WWE Raw history.
0:03-0:14-We are informed that due to there being a 60 Minute Time Limit on all Undisputed Championship matches, for the sake of having to change as little as possible format wise on live television it will go first. There are fringe matches lined up to cover what would be left over in the case that this match does not go sixty minutes. In the case that it does the fringe matches will take place at a later date.
--Triple H is out first to an absolutely massive pop. The fans are ready for this encounter which is months in the making. This is an insanely rare match as Jericho has not competed on free TV since becoming Undisputed Champion, let alone defend the belt on free TV.
--Jericho is out next, to the confusion of everybody Jericho is dressed in his super villain esc suit. He is followed by his Apostles. The fans are silent as they are wondering why Jericho who should be ready to compete is coming out in such a manner. Jericho enters the ring, it's easy to be brave when you're out numbering your opponent 4-1. Jericho grabs the microphone and prepares to speak. He is forced to take multiple mulligans as the moment that the microphone touches his lips the fans go nuts booing him.
JERICHO
I bet you're all very confused. You expected to see your trepidatious hero Triple H come out here and face off against me for the belt didn't you?
Unfortunately for all you zealots and succubus's that will not happen tonight, or any other night for that matter. Because you see, Triple H has one thing in common with you people....greed.
You see, when it comes to Eric Bischoff Triple H cannot rely on nepotism to get his title shots, like everybody else in the back he has to earn them. Ever since winning the Undisputed Belt I have been absolutely impenetrable, which has cause HHH for once in his career to ironically enough be stuck under my glass ceiling. This got to Hunter to the point where he signed a contract that I put in front of him without the actually fore site to read between the lines....and oh how he got played.
For those of you who are slow, and I'm sure there are a lot. I'll refresh your memory. Triple H signed a contract stating that if he beat my Apostles of Revolution at the Bash he would get a shot at my belt tonight, and if he lost he would have to join the Apostles.
I had absolutely no interest in HHH joining the Apostles. I just needed to make him truly believe this contract was legit. I told the Apostles to go out there and give them a bit of a fight and then get DQed, why? Because it would put Triple H under the impression that he had won the title shot, which in turn would allow me to manipulate him into thinking that he could only cash it in if I were champion. That one brilliant scheme was the insurance policy to make sure that Edge wouldn't cheat his way to stealing my belt.
I knew that Triple H was selfish and greedy and that he couldn't let Edge take the title. Triple H fell right into my ploy....oh but there is more....so much more.
You see Triple H, the contract stated one more thing that due to the time constraints I placed on you to sign the contract you neglected to read....in order to win the title shot tonight you had to win the 6 Man Tag via pinfall...or submission....you won by DQ.
Some of you at home might be questioning why an honest man like myself would resort to such horrible tactics and play Triple H like this. It is because I have promised to teach those who want to be saved, primarily my Apostles true life lessons that will aid them on their path to salvation. One of the lessons is that greed does not pay. I used Triple H as my primary subject, and with that said I'm going to leave this ring and head to the back now. We won't attack you Hunter because honestly we're above that and we've got much more important things to worry about, like who will be getting the next shot at my belt. Just a small hint, it sure as hell won't be you.
--
HHH is absolutely furious. He is kicking the ropes. Fans are pelting garbage into the ring. HHH contemplates attacking the Apostles but cooler heads prevail. A 4-1 attack will not do HHH any favors. Jericho leaves the ring and heads up the ramp with his Apostles, they immediately stop when they notice a ruckus in the ring. Edge has come through the crowd and has attacked HHH from behind. The obvious motive is retribution for HHH costing edge the Undisputed Championship less than 24 hours ago at the Bash. Edge and HHH brawl while The Apostles and Jericho watch from mid ramp. Bischoff's music hits!
--Bischoff comes up the ramp with a fleet of security who are ordered to rush the ring and separate HHH and Edge. Bischoff gets on the microphone.
BISCHOFF
Being the man who used every underhanded tactic in the book to attempt to take down McMahon in the 90's, I'm a firm believer in those types of things except when they compromise my show and my ratings. That's why I've got two announcements to make.
First off, the next WWE PPV Under The Influence which takes place in four weeks just has had it's first match signed. Edge, Triple H, you both got screwed by Jericho in some shape or form. That's why the two of you will go one on one in a match where there must be a winner, the reason being is the winner will be getting an Undisputed Championship match at SummerSlam!
--The crowd goes nuts. BISCHOFF
Jericho, you might want to listen loud and clear to this next announcement of mine as it concerns you! I cannot in good faith make you defend your title tonight without a clear cut contender, but ratings have always been my vice and imagine how detrimental it is to have my Undisputed Champion perform AS ADVERTISED. As many of you may or may not know every former member of the WWE roster has been told to be here with their gear ready to compete in case of the chance that they are one of the ten superstars randomly drafted. That is why I am giving somebody in the back the chance of a life time. We are going to have our first pick right now, and that wrestler will face you Jericho later tonight in a non title match.
-
Jericho looks absolutely furious. The lights go out and the fans go into a hush. Names and faces fly across the screen as the first pick is being randomized. The lights come back on as a familiar Water Proof Blonde song hits!
--Christian Cage is the first random draft pick! Christian walks on stage and shakes hands with Eric Bischoff. He salutes the fans and points to Jericho who is further down the ramp. Jericho is in absolute shock as the fans go wild. Edge who is still in the ring with about a dozen officials between him and HHH has a sly look on his face as his brother is now a part of the WWE roster!
0:14-0:18-Commercials 0:18-0:21-Christian is backstage with Matt Striker.
STRIKER
Just moments ago in one of the most exciting moments of the year thus far, you debuted to a phenomenal reaction. More importantly, later tonight you face Chris Jericho in a non-title match. With Bischoff's policies being that pinning a champion cleanly earns a superstar a shot at that champions belt on a show of their choosing, this match could be an absolutely massive debut for you.
CHRISTIAN Matt, I've never quite liked math teachers but when you're right you're right. Tonight I go one on one with perhaps the best wrestler on the face of the planet Chris Jericho. Jericho and I have tagged in the past, we've faced each other in the past. I know him better than perhaps anybody knows him on the roster. This match is imperative tonight, because my goal is to win the big one and be the Undisputed Champion. If I cannot beat Chris Jericho tonight and earn my shot at his belt, well....there's absolutely no reason for me to even be back here in the WWE. STRIKER
Do you feel the Apostles interfering might be a factor?
CHRISTIAN
Of course it is a factor, but...
--Edge enters with a smirk on his face.
EDGE
Christian, you and I haven't been on the same roster for a long....long time. Being brothers, we've fought and had our differences and even through that we've been good at keeping our personal lives outside of wrestling on the down low. Because of that a lot of people aren't aware that we've made amends and have forgiven each other for any bad blood that may have happened in the past. With that in mind, don't worry about the Apostles because I'd be more than happy to accompany you to ringside and make sure you have your fair shot at beating the snake Chris Jericho.
CHRISTIAN
Thanks Edge, I like the sound of that. Just think, if I beat Jericho tonight and earn my shot at his belt and you beat Triple H at Under The Influence....it could end up being us two one on one for the title at SummerSlam. EDGE
I haven't said this in a long while brother, but that wreaks of awesomeness.
--Edge and Christian hug as the scene fades out.
0:21-0:30-Tag Team Championship
The Kung Fu Cowboys VS The World's Greatest Tag Team
Before the match another draft pick is chosen.....it's Hawkins!
Hawkins makes his way to the ring to a fairly positive reaction. He grabs a microphone.
HAWKINS
I'm going to make this short and sweet. It feels great to be back in World Wrestling Entertainment. I've been told that up next is the Unified Tag Title match, what many of you might remember is that I'm a former Tag Team Champion myself. With that in mind, consider this a warning to whoever wins. I'm going to find myself a partner and there will be no stopping me from taking those belts.
--Hawkins takes a seat on commentary and watches the match.
Despite being a short title match it is very fast paced and even based. The story of the match is the much faster Kung Fu Cowboys out speed World's Greatest Tag Team and get multiple near falls only to get grounded near the end of the match. Shelton hits a T-Bone Suplex on Funaki for the three.
-After the match Shelton Benjamin and Haas hold up Tag Titles as Hawkins heads back up the ramp. The lights go out once again and it looks like we're going to have the third pick of the night.
--Ryder's music hits! Ryders makes his way on to the ramp and stares down with Hawkins. After a moment of tension Hawkins walks to the back passing Ryder bumping shoulders with him. The fans are perplexed as to whether or not there is bad blood between the former Tag Team Champions who ironically enough were broken up due to a past draft.
0:30-0:34-Commercials
0:34-0:37-Hawkins confronts Ryder backstage in the corridor leading to the ring.
Hawkins
Listen man, I know we haven't talked in a while but I didn't think there was any real tension between us. Why'd you have to bump my shoulder like that when I was walking up the ramp?
Ryder
Listen brah, don't worry we're chill and all that it's just that I can't let you steal my heat in front of everybody. See those skanks in the front row? If I act like some beta they aren't going to want nothing to do with me. Do you really want to get in the way of my alpha composure?
Hawkins
Jesus, what happened to you?
Ryder
A few yaggerbombs, that's what happened! Just kidding brah, I'm the same fun guy I always was. Hey, didn't you say you were going to try and take the Tag Belts? Hawkins
Yeah....why....you want to reform?
Ryder
Psh, I wasn't offering to reform or nothin, brah you're my bro and all but you're kinda invading my space here....too many dicks on the dance floor ya know what I'm sayin? Hawkins
I have absolutely no idea....
Ryder
Listen.....now that I think about it I'm just playin. I'd love to teach those two chumps in the World's Greatest Tag Team a lesson. But before we reform there are a few things we have to sort out.
Hawkins
Like what?
Ryder
Brah, walk and talk....walk and talk!
--The scene fades out with Ryder and Hawkins walking and talking.
0:37-0:41-Commercials 0:41-1:10-Christian Cage VS Chris Jericho
--Christian Cage is out first in an epic entrance. He garners a massive pop and is followed to the ring by his brother Edge. Jericho is out next to huge heat. He is followed by his muscle Mike Knox. Jericho is wearing wraps all along his abdominal in order to sell the injuries from the TLC match the night before.
Beginning: The match starts with Jericho mouthing off to Christian. Christian walks up to Jericho, smirks and gives him the finger. Jericho's grin turns to a frown. In a fit of rage Jericho attempts to nail Christian with a blow to the head but is counters with three electric punches which send Jericho falling on his ass.
Jericho scoots to the corner and pulls himself up on the ropes. Knox gets on the apron with a towel and wipes off Jericho's face. Jericho turns back to Christian. Jericho realizing he needs a calm head in order to match up with Christian.
Jericho and Christian chain wrestle, Jericho gets the best of Christian until Christian delivers a massive kick to the ribs of Jericho causing the fans to go nuts. Jericho sells it like crazy writhing in pain. Christian pushes Jericho in the corner and hits a barrage of Undertaker like punches to Jericho's gut, followed by a massive gutbuster for a two.
Middle: Christian continues to bring the pain to Jericho. Jericho rolls out of the ring tapping Mike Knox on the shoulder. Jericho has decided to retreat to the back as we head to a commercial.
0:47-0:51-Commercial
Finish: We are shown what happened during the commercial break. Edge fought off Knox and grabbed Jericho tossing him back into the ring. Knox and Edge brawled as a result and the referee sent both men to the back banishing them from ringside. Jericho and Christian are now left one on one with no outside help.
The referee forces both men to their respective corners and re-establishes control.
Christian rolls up Jericho for a two. Christian questions the referee and turns around into a dropkick by Jericho. Jericho hits the ropes for a Lionsault but Christian moves. Jericho lands on his feet and Christian sets up the Killswitch. Jericho reverses it into a double arm back to back driver sending Christian neck first into the mat. Jericho covers Christian for a near fall!
Both men get to their feet, Jericho goes for the Lion Tamer. He has it locked in! The fans begin chanting "Please Don't Tap"...pshhhh, what is this a Bryan Danielson match?
Christian slowly makes his way to the ropes but Jericho pulls him back to the center of the ring. Christian rolls out of the walls and gets Jericho into a small package for the two, Jericho reverses the roll up into a cover of his own for a two. Both men to their feet, Killswitch!
Christian covers Jericho, 1......2.....3!!!!
CHRISTIAN WINS, CHRISTIAN WINS!
Christian has his hand raised as Jericho remains on the ground in pain. Just 24 hours after Jerichos grueling title defense against Edge, Christian has done what nobody in WWE has been able to do since May and that is defeat the unbeatable Chris Jericho! As a result Christian now gets an Undisputed Title shot at a time and place of his choosing.
1:10-1:14-Commercials 1:14-1:16-DURING THE BREAK-
--Christian is on the old school podium far off the ramp near the crowd. He is being interviewed by Josh Mathews regarding his win.
MATHEWS
Since defeating Jericho has earned you a title shot at a time of your choosing, myself and everybody in the wrestling world are wondering will you go for the big pay day and Main Event this months PPV Under The Influence once again against Jericho?
CHRISTIAN
You know what Josh? That would make sense wouldn't it? Main Eventing PPVs are big pay days and who can argue with that in this recession.
There's only one problem. My brother Edge and I were discussing our possible plan of action before the match in the case that I won and looking over the live events calendar it came to our attention that Raw next week is live from my home town of Toronto, Ontario.
What I'm trying to say is Jericho, you better get ready. Because next week in front of my friends, family, and home town fans I will accomplish the boyhood dream. I'm going to end your title reign Chris.
--The fans go nuts, what a blockbuster announcement. Christian VS Chris Jericho for the Undisputed Belt next week live on Raw! The first WWE Undisputed match ever live on Raw since the end of the brand split!
1:16-1:25-Ted Dibiase's music hits. He is followed to the ring by Jamal Fatu and David Smith. Together they are Legacy. Dibiase grabs the microphone.
DIBIASE
For some, last night was one of the most shocking moments in WWE history. Not to be cliche, but for us three...it was simply priceless.
For those who are unaware, let's roll the footage.
--
Footage is shown of Noble "Unintentionally costing Rey his IC Championship against Dibiase'." Afterwards footage is shown of Noble defeating former Legacy leader Orton with the help of Legacy. After the match Legacy and Noble reveal their partnership leaving it clear that Noble costing Mysterio the belt was no accident. DIBIASE
Before I explain my actions, I want to invite the man who made it all possible to come out to the ring right now. I want to invite the man who will face me for my belt in 4 weeks at Under The Influence, Jamie Noble....come on down!
--
Noble's music hits to a huge heel reaction. The fans must feel betrayed that their underdog hero turned his back on them and sold his soul to Legacy for a shot at the IC Belt. DIBIASE
First and foremost. The reason the three of us turned on Orton was very simple. A lot of people in the wrestling world assumed that we were Orton's lackeys and were only there to cover his ass. The funny thing is, we were using Orton. Randy, you are so stupid. It is unbelievable that you never noticed this before. We were all in on this. We used you with the agreement that when the time is right we'd turn on you and use your own star power to make our careers. Hell, you trusted me? Now that I'm a household name and no longer need to worry about getting known I can end your career in a second Randy. Hell, I did it to Kane. Where has the big red bitch been since I burned him at Judgment Day....exactly. As far as Noble goes, I'll let him explain himself.
--
The microphone is passed to Noble who begins speaking in his thick southern accent.
NOBLE
Mysterio, you had the chance to join one of the most dominant groups in wrestling history and you turned it down. They took the time to reach out to you and ensure you'd be the longest reigning IC Champion ever and you spat in their face.
All last month when I said I respect what you did for smaller men in this business, smaller men like myself....I wasn't lying. Mysterio, I still respect you for it. But what I don't respect you for is that you were completely selfish. Imagine what joining Legacy would have done for your career. It would have skyrocketed it beyond belief, which in turn is saying a lot since you were already a mega star. You could have been one of the biggest, if not the biggest stars of all time. Imagine what that would have done for me and other smaller wrestlers. You would have truly finished the job paving the way for us. Instead you chose to do what was good for you and only you.
Seeing you do that taught me one thing. If you aren't the prototypical superstar in this business you have to be selfish and have to look out for yourself. That's why when Dibiase reached out to me to devise this plan, for once in my career I was selfish. For once in my career I took something for myself. Just like everybody else says, these fans are complete hypocrites. I get booed for being selfish where as you get cheered and celebrated. That just isn't right Rey. I may still respect you, but this sort of hypocrisy makes me hate you. I want to tear you limb, from limb, from limb. Rey, you better hope you don't win your IC Belt back from Ted Tonight. Where as I can be a man and promise Ted that he and I can have a clean respectable match at Under The Influence for the IC Belt, I sadly cannot do the same for you. I fear that if I ever have to face you one on one I will resort to doing things that will scare me, that may even turn me and every person in this arena off of the barbaric nature of Pro Wrestling as a whole. My love hate relationship towards you brings that out Rey, as much as I wish I could....I can't control it....sorry.
--Noble who despite cutting a promo which was fairly negative towards Rey conflictingly drops the microphone. Dibiase smiles getting off on the havoc he has created. All of a sudden the lights go out. It looks like we have another draft pick on our hands.
Kofi Kingston's music hits and the Jamaican Sensation jumps out on the ramp. The IC Champion Dibiase leans on the ropes not sure what to make of Kingston. Kingston looks confidently at Dibiase, he points to the title and then motions that it will soon be around his waist. Kingston's emergence certainly adds some depth to the IC Division.
--We are informed that after this short commercial break the Steel Cage match for the IC Belt will be next.
1:25-1:29-Commercials
1:29-1:50-IC Championship
Steel Cage
Rey Mysterio VS Ted Dibiase (C) Beginning: Dibiase is already in the ring. The challenger Mysterio comes out to a massive pop. The cage lowers and the ref does the title match pre fight presentation. Mysterio walks towards Dibiase and the two engage in a dramatic stare down. Mysterio slaps Dibiase across the face, Dibiase pushes the much smaller Mysterio on to his ass. Dibiase walks to Mysterio but is hit with a drop toe hold.
The beginning of the match is centered around Mysterio using his speed to outwit Dibiase who cannot seem to figure out Mysterio's offense despite beating him the night before. Mysterio clearly dominates and is more concerned with getting covers rather than escaping the cage.
Middle: Dibiase realizing that Mysterio's speed is too much to contend with begins targeting Rey's legs. After successfully working down Rey's speed Dibiase hits some nice power based moves and attempts to escape the cage. Each time Dibiase attempts to escape Mysterio makes a last ditch effort stopping him. Dibiase follows up with another power move sending Mysterio to the ground and once again climbing. Each time Dibiase climbs he gets closer than before.
Dibiase gets to the top of the cage and has his feet over. Mysterio is able to climb up in time to grab Dibiase. The two are now sitting on the top of the cage. They both exchange blows and tease falling off the side. The fans are on the edge of their seat.
Mysterio hits a final knockout blow to Dibiase and gets to his feet. He scales the cage. Mysterio holds on to the cable which is used to lower the cage and hits a modified 619 sending Dibiase falling to the mat!
End: Mysterio looks to the outside to escape and then looks down at Dibiase laying on the mat. He questions the fans what to do. After getting the consensus he goes for his signature diving headbutt and hits it clean on Dibiase! Mysterio covers Dibiase for a three count to regain his belt!
After a very close hard fought match by the two the cage is raised. Mysterio's celebration is cut short by Jamal and Smith hitting the ring. The two members of Legacy attack Mysterio as Dibiase recovers on the mat.
Voices hits to a massive pop! Orton runs down to the ring and aids Mysterio. Mysterio and Orton knock both members of Legacy out of the ring. "RKO, RKO, RKO" chants the crowd. Orton and Mysterio are now alone in the ring with Dibiase who looks like he is standing next to his worst nightmare. Orton slowly walks up to Dibiase who is now standing. Dibiase looks down at his feet and then attempts to hit Orton with punches. Orton pushes the tired Dibiase away and hits a massive RKO!
Legacy pulls Dibiase out of the ring. Orton's music hits in celebration. Mysterio is ecstatic to have Orton on his side for once. Orton looks at Mysterio, smiles, and then RKO's him!
Rey should have known due to Orton's past behavior, he is not all there. Orton has learned a valuable lesson as Steve Austin would say "DTA, Don't Trust Anybody". He's not about to break that value over Mysterio.
Despite Orton's Anti-Hero tendencies the fans continue to chant RKO and give Orton an absolutely unreal ovation. All of a sudden the lights go out. It must be another draft pick.
It's Dolph Ziggler! Dolph Ziggler makes his way down the ramp and to the ring past all the broken bodies. Ziggler calls for a microphone. WIth his body greased and hair slicked back he sort of resembles a low class male porn star. (Sorry Val)
Ziggler extends his hand to Orton.
ZIGGLER
Hi, my name is Dolph Ziggler!
--
The fans signifiy an ohhhhhhhhhhhh as if they know what's coming. Cringing, they watch Orton surprisingly extend his hand smiling. Orton mouths "You're going to make it here kid'." Ziggler looks absolutely ecstatic at this young veterans praise.
Ziggler tries to walk away but Orton does not relinquish his grip. Orton pulls Ziggler into the RKO! The fans once again go nuts.
Orton is absolutely out of control! It looks like Dibiase has a tendency of pushing people over the edge. This time unlike with Kane, Orton is ready to fight!
--The scene fades out 1:50-1:54-Commercials 1:54-1:57-We are shown a video from earlier today captured by WWE Cameras where Hardy and HBK are talking over at the catering area. HBK is giving Hardy some veteran advice. Hardy chimes in saying he is disgusted with the way Brian Kendrick is acting as of late towards his former teacher.
--We return to the interview area. Striker is standing by with Kendrick. Striker
It's been no secret that as of late HBK has been trying to get you to leave the Apostles. You've gone as far as to call him a devil in disguise. Now Jeff Hardy has called your actions disgusting. I will attempt to remain unbiased but it is safe to say most of the fans share the same sentiments as Jeff.
Kendrick
I've got things to do so I'm going to make this very short Matt. Jeff doesn't know HBK like I do, he doesn't see through the facade. But that's fine, I don't expect him to. HBK is very good at deceiving people, it's what he does. Jeff, falling for HBK is one thing but questioning my character and value, and thus questioning my lord and savior Chris Jericho's values cannot be tolerated. That's why tonight I'm challenging you to a match one on one. I'll show you what it means to truly be saved.
1:57-2:02-We open to Bischoff's office. Dibiase burst in.
DIBIASE
Did you just see that, two, no three superstars. Three superstars RKO'd? I was RKO'd. Really, did you just see that? Eric, are you listening to me?
BISCHOFF
Calm down, talk slowly. DIBIASE
Orton is out of control. How am I expected to concentrate on my matches when I know I have that freak lurking around the arena. Listen, I want my rematch clause, I want it tonight, and I want Orton kicked out of the building, I want him suspended, hell I want him fired!
BISCHOFF
Wait one minute, as far as I'm concerned you were the one who screwed Orton so as far as his retribution goes you made your own bed.
About your rematch clause, there is no way there is time for that tonight. That and the fact that you and Mysterio have already wrestled. Also, we already have Christian VS Chris Jericho next week for the Undisputed Belt live on Raw. After having to give away a match that massive on free TV do you think I'm going to be ready to give away you and Rey's rematch.
Here's what I'm going to do. Rey is already set to defend the belt against the number one contender Jamie Noble at Under The Influence. I'm going to add you to that match in place of your rematch clause.
DIBIASE
Thank you Eric, I won't let you down.
BISCHOFF
Letting me down should be the least of your worries.
DIBIASE
Why is that?
BISCHOFF
Because due to the questionable finish of Orton's match at The Bash, along with his past credentials....I'm also adding him to the IC Title match at Under The Influence....what I'm trying to say is you're going to be in the same ring with the man who you screwed over and there will be nothing stopping him from tearing you apart. That my friend, is simply priceless. --The scene fades out with Dibiase sporting an absolutely petrified look on his face. 2:02-2:03-Another draft pick is taken.....it's Matt Hardy! The fans boo as Matt's graphic is shown on the titantron. 2:03-2:06-Matt Striker is backstage with Cena. STRIKER
Cena, we're moments away from your massive Grudge Match against Shad. You were off of TV for over a month after Shad DQed himself attacking you with a chair. Shad continued to carry that chair around, going as far as attempting to attack Jeff Hardy with it on multiple occasions. After beating Jeff Hardy last night Shad once again tried to attack him only to have you make the save. After this saga, how does it feel to finally be back in front of your millions of fans?
CENA
It feels damn good! Tonight, one on one it will be Shad Gaspard versus John Cena. Monster VS Man. Shad let me tell you one thing, you could come out here with your chair, you could pretend that that ring is your ghetto, hell you could try to cripple me. What would it accomplish? You tried it once, I came back stronger than ever. This is your chance to finally beat me Shad, to finally prove that you're the man here. Are you going to throw that chance away?
Whatever you do Shad, there will be some poetic justice....I can guarantee that. --The scene fades out with Cena walking away ready to fight. 2:06-2:10-Commercials 2:10-2:24-John Cena VS Shad
--The match begins with Shad coming out first to huge heat. He has the chair he almost crippled Cena with at hand. He places it at ringside. Cena comes out next to an unreal pop. Cena runs down to the ring and wastes no time taking to to Shad. The bell rings and we are under way.
The match is an all out brawl with all of Cena's trade marks. Cena dominates the beginning, but Shad takes mid match as his own leading to a big Cena comeback towards the end. Instead of trying to win Cena rolls to the outside and grabs Shad's signature chair.
Much to the approval of the fans Cena begins bashing Shad multiple times with the chair until officials separate them. This must be the poetic justice Cena was speaking of. Despite the cool face Cena kept in the prematch interview we are no seeing the real side of things. We are seeing the side of Cena that is absolutely furious that Shad almost ended his ability to do the one thing in this word he loves, wrestle.
Cena makes his way up the ramp with the chair held high as Shad nurses his wounds in the ring. We fade out.
2:24-2:28-Commercials The next draft pick is taken......it's William Regal!
2:28-2:30-Primo is backstage talking with an unknown. They are discussing how Regal is a borderline legend in the UK and that he could be the dark horse top pick of this draft. Jamal and Smith approach Primo.
SMITH
It must suck.
PRIMO
What do you mean? SMITH
A second generation guy like yourself being held down by his screw up older brother, Carlito.
PRIMO
Listen, don't you ever talk bad about my family.
SMITH
Woah, woah, woah. We're not talking bad about your family, they are legendary. Just Carlito. You don't need him. He's a screw up. Since we gave Orton the boot we've got an open spot in Legacy, Primo....you fit the bill. In fact, Dibiase has personally requested that you think over leaving Carlito and joining us. One thing, we want the answer by next week....or else.
--The scene fades out with Primo looking violated. 2:30-2:34-Commercials 2:34-2:35-The second last draft pick of the night is taken. It's Shane Helms! 2:35-2:48-Jeff Hardy VS Brian Kendrick
Kendrick comes out first with the Miz at his side to some huge heat. Hardy is out second to a huge pop.
The two have a rather fast paced match. Hardy dominates at first but Miz at ringside is the X Factor which allows Kendrick to take advantage.
The match ends with HBK running down and taking out The Miz. Kendrick gets distracted and stares down with HBK. He leans over the ropes and spits at HBK. HBK gives him a tired look and wipes the spit off of his face. Kendrick turns around to a Twist Of Fate followed by a Swantan Bomb! Hardy pins for the three and the win.
2:48-2:52-Commercials 2:52-End Of Show-We return to ringside where Kendrick is still in the ring lounging in the corner. The Miz is down on the outside and Hardy is heading to the back. HBK grabs a microphone and cautiously rolls into the ring. HBK
Kendrick, don't get up I'm not here to fight. In fact, I'm willing to admit that this whole time I've been in the wrong....but that doesn't make you right.
I should have never fought back against you, I know the real Brian Kendrick from back when I trained you at TWA and because of that I know that you aren't truly in control of your actions.
Brian, I'm willing to help you. This isn't some ploy to get you to convert to Christianity, I will take you as you are. Human to human, I'm concerned for your well being as a person. All I need is for you to make an effort Brian. I know deep down inside you know Jericho isn't good for you....just reach out to me.
--Kendrick gets out of the corner to his feet. He slowly walks up to HBK with his head down. He raises his head and looks at HBK eye to eye. The fans eagerly await in anticipation for Kendrick to make his choice. Out of nowhere The Miz blindsides HBK, both The Miz and Kendrick double team him. The lights go out....
This has to be the final draft pick....who will it be.....a familiar music hits.....
....IT'S THE ANIMAL, BATISTA!
The fans go absolutely nuts as the animal makes his way nonchalant to the ring. The Apostles clear the ring not knowing what to expect. HBK gets to his feet and looks at HHH's old friend and protege. HBK gives Batista a blank look which is followed by a kick to the stomach and a Batista Bomb!
What the hell? Batista just laid out HBK. Where does Batista fit into all this? Why would he do this? We're out of time, good god I wish we had five minutes for an explanation. Hopefully we'll find out on yet another huge addition of Raw next week!
