Teddy Long is in the ring, ready to make his selections. Just as he is about to name his first pick, he's clotheslined by Christian to a huge pop. Christian picks up the mic and speaks the name, "Rey Mysterio." After a couple seconds, 'Booyaka, booyaka!' rings out and the pyro explodes. Mysterio comes out and meets Christian in the ring. He has a smile on his face and looks excited. The two shake hands. Christian again raises the microphone. "The Undertaker." It is dead silent in the arena for a moment, then the place explodes when the lights go out. They stay out for nearly a minute, then come back on. Rey Mysterio is laying on his stomach outside the ring. Christian is in the center, knocked out, with the Undertaker standing over him. R.A.W. ends with an angry Undertaker staring down at Christian.
