Monday Night RAW opens as the camera pans throughout Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia and shows The Slammy Awards stage set up. Tables, Ladders and Chairs surround the ring as we cut to Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler.
**Michael Cole: “Hello ladies and gentleman and welcome to the Slammy Awards Supershow live here in Norfolk, Virginia! We are just one week away from the TLC PPV and Jerry I cannot wait!”**
**Lawler: “Your right Cole and look at these weapons all around the ring! We may not have to wait til TLC to see them in action!”**
*****WRITTEN IN MY FACE*****
The Celtic Warrior Sheamus makes his way out to a great pop. He is accompanied by the loveable Hornswoggle.
Sheamus and Hornswoggle walk over to the podium on the stage.
**Sheamus: “Good evening ladies and gentleman, Hornswoggle and moiself are here to announce the 2011 Oh My God Moment of the Year. This award recognizes a moment that truly made us say, Oh My God. And the nominees are…”**
The camera cuts to the titantron as a video showing the nominee’s air.
1. CM Punk promo shoot on RAW, June 27.
2. Booker T returns at the Royal Rumble.
3. Edge announces that he is being forced to retire.
4. Kevin Nash returns at Summerslam and attacks CM Punk.
Sheamus opens the envelope.
**Sheamus: “Here you go fella, read that.”**
Sheamus hands to paper to Hornswoggle who leans into the microphone to announce the winner.
**Hornswoggle: “And the winner is um, CM Punk promo shoot!”**
*****CULT OF PERSONALITY*****
The crowd explodes as the WWE Champion, CM Punk, struts confidently out from the back and accepts his award from Sheamus.
Punk continues down the ramp and makes his into the ring.
Punk has a mic in hand as he sits down in the ring with his WWE title and newly won Slammy.
C-M Punk chants ring through Scope Arena as the WWE Champion smiles.
**CM Punk: “Thank you, thank you everybody!”**
Punk sounds a little sarcastic as he smiles and the crowd cheers louder.
**CM Punk: “You see, when I delivered that promo, I wanted things to be changed. And it happened. That promo revolutionized modern wrestling. It was the beginning of the CM Punk era! I dropped pipe bombs like no one has ever seen or done before. I broke the fourth wall! If that were anyone else, they would have been fired on the spot! But not me, you know why? Because Vince McMahon had finally realized how good I was. He finally realized that I was better then everyone, that I was The Best in the World.”**

We cut back to CM Punk in the ring and the champ looks puzzled. The crowd is stunned and confused after seeing Punk get cut off by the video.
*****AWESOME, I CAME TO PLAY*****
The crowd now boos as The Miz walks out looking as arrogant and ticked off as ever.
**The Miz: “Really Punk? Really? You’re the ‘best in the world’?”**
“All that promo did was show the world what a whiny, hypocritical thug you are!”
The crowd boos Miz heavily.
“And as far as best in the world is concerned, that moniker goes to me! I have been on a roll! I am the most must-see superstar in this business. I headlined Wrestlemania; I am the most must-see WWE Champion in the history of the WWE. I deserve to be WWE Champion and there is no way that a tattoo covered, boring, phony stand in my way.”
CM Punk chuckles and nods sarcastically at Miz’s insults.
**CM Punk: “Oh Miz you naïve fool. You see Miz I’ve worked myself to the bone to be in the position I am now. I scratched and clawed my way to the WWE as an indy star where I kissed ass for 5 years before I finally got through to people. I’m the best in the world and the fact that a reality TV snub like you would call ME a phony makes me sick! You think that your this whole dominant, aggressive antagonist but really your just another pretty, John Laurinitis’ Ass Kissing pretender and come Sunday at TLC, I will show no mercy and I will show YOU why I am the WWE Champion and the Best in the World!!”**
The crowd cheers as CM Punk’s look of entertainment turns into a look of intensity.
**The Miz: “That’s cute Punk, that really is cute. You try to win over these fans by talking about your ‘indy roots’ and how hard you’ve worked. Reality check, you are a phony. I took out R-Truth, I took out John Morrison and last week I pinned John Cena to EARN myself a championship opportunity. So Punk, you better take a good look at your ‘new-look’ WWE championship because come Sunday, you’ll become just another casualty of the greatest superstar in this business. I will win the WWE Championship, because I’m The Miz…….and”**
**Punk: “Oh please! Yeah we get it, you think your awesome. Well you might be awesome, but I’m the best in the world and there is nothing you can do to stop me retaining my championship!”**
“And you know why Miz?”
The Miz sneers at CM Punk.
“Because I’m CM Punk……and I’m…..the best in the world!”
Punk mocks Miz as he drops his mic and holds up the WWE Championship, Cult of Personality ringing through Scope Arena.
We see Punk smiling as Miz continues to sneer at him and we fade backstage.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Backstage we see John Laurinitis texting on his phone as
Edge walks into his office.
Edge receives a rousing ovation from the fans as he greets Laurinitis.
**John Laurinitis: “Edge, Interim General Manager of Monday Night RAW and Executive-Vice President of Talent Relations, John Laurinitis. Welcome. How can I help you?”**
Laurinitis smiles and holds out his hand for a handshake, as Edge obliges, not sure whether Laurinitis is serious or not.
**Edge: “Yeah um, I just wanna know what award you want me to present tonight?”**
**Laurinitis: “Ahh right, well I guess….”**
Laurinitis stops, as there is a knock from the door.
“Hold that thought, come in”
Mark Henry walks in, looking angry as the Norfolk crowd boos him. He stares at Edge who is taken aback by Mark’s saltiness.
**Laurinitis: “Mark, nice to see you, what can I do for you?”**
**Mark Henry: “You saw what happened on Smackdown, Big Show put me through a table with a chokeslam. I was in no condition to fight at the time. Well now I’m feeling alright and I wanna get my hands on Big Show, tonight!”**
**Laurinitis: “Well Mark, you do make a good point. I will have to make sure Big Show is here tonight and I’ll see what I can do.”**
From nowhere The Miz storms into Laurinitis’ office, fuming.
**The Miz: “Mr. Laurinitis, CM Punk does not have the right to disrespect me like that! The man is a true Punk and I’m sick of him thinking he runs this show!”**
**Laurinitis: “Okay, okay enough. Miz you can get ready because I need you to announce an award a little later. Seeing as though you both want a match, and seeing as though I’m a creative genius, I think I can work something out.”**
Laurinitis smiles at Miz and Henry who look at each other, Edge still in the background looking baffled.
We cut back to Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler.
-----------------------------------------------------------
**Michael Cole: “Well ladies and gentleman I’m sure being the great man he is, John Laurinitis will figure something special out.”**
**Jerry Lawler: “Oh c’mon Cole, the mans about as creative as a doorknob!”**
**Michael Cole: “How can you say that Jerry? John Laurinitis has done nothing but good since he took over Monday Night RAW!”**
*****BROKEN DREAMS*****
Drew McIntyre walks coldly to the ring; oblivious to the barrage of boos he receives.
McIntyre grabs a mic as he enters the ring.
**McIntyre: “Last week an atrocity was committed. I was robbed of a victory due to a piece of terrible officiating. I am the chosen one; I deserve the best referees in this business. So mark my words, tonight I will deliver an almighty beat-down.”**
*****HERE AND NOW OR NEVER*****
Mason Ryan comes out to a reasonably warm reception. The monster pumps himself up as he strides confidently and intensely to the ring.
Match #1 – Drew McIntyre vs Mason Ryan
McIntyre starts with punches but the monster Ryan hits back. McIntyre bounces of the ropes but runs straight into Ryan and is knocked back. Ryan stares intensely at McIntyre who looks tentative. McIntyre backs off.
The two again lock horns but McIntyre takes control with a headlock. Ryan counters and hits a back suplex and makes the cover but McIntyre powers out quickly. McIntyre rolls out of the ring and holds his back; he doesn’t like the aggressiveness of Mason. Ryan follows him out as McIntyre runs away. Ryan follows him but McIntyre smartly hides and hits a clothesline from around the poll, knocking Ryan to ground.

The crowd tries to will Mason on as they start to chant and cheer.

Mason covers, 1…2…kickout again by Drew.
Ryan gets up, looking as intense as ever, and signals for the end. He lifts McIntyre up looking for the full nelson. He has one arm hooked but McIntyre rakes his eyes while the ref is blind-sided.
McIntyre pounces while Ryan is in pain. McIntyre kicks him in the mid-section and hits the Future-Shock DDT. McIntyre makes the cover, 1…2…3.
Winner: Drew McIntyre (7:12)
McIntyre holds his back as he calls for a mic from ringside.
He regains his composure and leans into the mic.
**McIntyre: “There you have it, ladies and gentleman. The Chosen One Drew McIntyre doing what only Drew McIntyre will do. You all better get used to this as I will continue to decimate delinquents like Mason Ryan before I’m given the respect I deserve.”**
Broken dreams rings throughout Scope Arena as McIntyre exits the ring and we cut backstage again.
-----------------------------------------------------------
John Laurinitis is in his office texting someone. He hears a knock at the door.
**Laurinitis: “Come in.”**
The Game, Triple H walks in to a huge cheer. Hunter has his game face on as he approaches John.
**Laurinitis: “Oh, hello Hunter”**
Laurinitis smiles at The Game who is not impressed.
**Triple H: “Enough of the crap, I want another stipulation added to my match with Nash on Sunday.”**
**Laurinitis: “If your talking about the sledgehammer, David Otunga and myself have decided that it will be legal throughout the match.”**
**Triple H: “No, I want another stipulation added.”**
**Laurinitis: “I’m not sure what you mean Hunter, the match is already a Three Stages of Hell TLC Match, what else do you want?”**
Triple H gets more aggravated as he moves in closer to Johnny.
**Triple H: “Yeah, but I want one more stipulation!”**
**Laurinitis: “Well Hunter, being such a creative-minded person, I guess I’ll see what I can do. I will have to consult Kevin Nash before anything is made official. So I’ll make sure someone let’s you know but as for now, you better get ready for your chairs match with Alberto Del Rio.”**
Laurinitis smiles as he leaves Triple H, who is very animated and disgruntled.

We fade back to the stage.
*****AWESOME, I CAME TO PLAY*****
The Miz makes his way out to the stage looking irritated. Natalya accompanies The Miz and they walk over to the podium.
**Natalya: “Ladies and Gentleman, The Miz and I are proud to announce the Slammy Award winner for Breakout Star of the Year!”**
“And the nominees are...”
Miz and Natalya turn to the titantron as we cut to a video package.

3. R-Truth
4. Zack Ryder
The crowd explodes at the announcement of Ryder’s nomination.
**Michael Cole: “Oh god please don’t let it be Zack Ryder!”**
**The Miz: “And the winner is…”**
**Natalya: “Cody Rhodes!”**
**Michael Cole: “Yes! Yes! Cody!”**
*****SMOKE AND MIRRORS*****
The Intercontinental Champion parades out from the back. He accepts his award and then walks into the ring. Cody grabs a mic as he looks around Scope Arena and receives scattered boos.
**Cody Rhodes: “Once again, I have proved that I am the greatest Intercontinental Champion and that I am a future World Champion. When will you people learn? I revolutionized this championship; I brought back the prestige that was tarnished by its former holders. So it’s only a matter of time before Cody Rhodes is World Heavyweight Champion.”**
*****WRITTEN IN MY FACE*****
**Jerry Lawler: “Finally someone that can shut up Cody Rhodes!”**
**Michael Cole: “What the hell’s that supposed to mean? Sheamus is interrupting Cody’s victory speech!”**
Sheamus stares at Miz who is still at the podium and strides down the ramp and joins Cody in the ring with a mic.
**Sheamus: “Cody, Cody, Cody. What are you talking about fella? There’s no way on god’s green earth that you could become World Champion!”**
Sheamus chuckles as the crowd cheers.
**Sheamus: “I think your getting a bit ahead of yourself at the moment, I mean I beat you on Smackdown! And I’ll beat you again and you know why? Because there is no way this tough Irish bastard is letting anyone get in the way of me and the World Heavyweight Championship!”**
*****SOMEBODY’S GONNA GET IT*****
The World Heavyweight Champion walks out with his belt and a mic in hand.
**Mark Henry: “I’m sorry, but I think I heard you both saying you gon’ be World Champion. Well here’s some news for ya, it aint gon’ happen! I’m the Worlds Strongest Man and I’m not in a joking mood.”**
Henry is still walking down the ramp and rolls into the ring.
**Mark Henry: “I’m sick and tired of you pretenders thinking you got a chance against me. I will never lose this World Championship. And there’s nothing anyone can do about it.”**
**Sheamus: “You say you’re tired of pretenders but really your one yourself. I mean you act like you’re this scary monster but really you’re the one who’s scared. Your scared of losing your title, your scared of Big Show.”**
**Mark Henry: “I aint scared a nobody!”**
Sheamus laughs at Henry, which only aggravates the Champ even more.
Out of nowhere Cody Rhodes attacks Sheamus from behind with a clubbing blow to the back. Sheamus drops as Rhodes begins to stomp away at the Celtic Warrior. Mark Henry joins in the beat down.
The Miz, who was still at the top of the stage, comes running down the ramp and jumps in the ring. The Miz joins Henry and Rhodes as they stomp away at Sheamus.
But wait, here comes CM Punk for save. And Big Show!
The crowd’s boos turn into cheers as Henry and Miz flee the ring. Rhodes is left and can’t escape. He looks around, now cornered. Rhodes tries to flee but runs into the Weapon of Mass Destruction from Big Show! And a Brogue Kick from Sheamus! And a GTS from Punk!
The crowd goes nuts as Rhodes rolls out of the ring, motionless.
“Woah, woah, woah, woah!”
John Laurinitis comes out from the back to a barrage of boos.
**Laurinitis: “Seeing as though you all seem to want to fight and me being a most innovative General Manager in the history of Monday Night RAW, the mainevent for tonight’s show will be a 6-man elimination tag team match!”**
The crowd now cheers as CM Punk, Big Show and Sheamus stare down Mark Henry and The Miz as they help Cody Rhodes to his feet. We cut to commercial.
