**Laurinaitis: “Philadelphia, welcome to Monday Night RAW!”**

**Laurinaitis: “As Executive Vice-President of Talent Relations and Interim General Manager of Monday Night RAW I am thrilled at the success of last nights TLC PPV!”

Laurinaitis nods and continues to smile.

**Laurinaitis: “I would like to take this time to let all of you know, that because I’m such a generous and creative person, I will make sure this holiday edition of Monday Night RAW is truly a reflection of my selfless attitude towards the WWE Universe!”**

The crowd continues to boo Laurinaitis.

**Laurinaitis: “Because I’m in the Christmas spirit, tonight on RAW, live from Philadelphia, CM Punk will go one-on-one with The Miz in a rematch from last nights TLC PPV!”**

*****CULT OF PERSONALITY*****

The crowd pops for the WWE Champion. Laurinaitis’ grin is wiped immediately of his face as CM Punk comes out from the back, a sly grin on his face and the WWE Championship across his shoulders.

Punk walks to the ring as the WWE Universe cheers him. Punk gets in the ring and walks up to John Laurinaitis.

**CM Punk: “I’m sorry Johnny but am I missing something? If I recall correctly, I beat The Miz last night. I beat him and I retained my WWE Championship. So I don’t see any need for that drama queen to come anywhere near my WWE Championship.”**

*****AWESOME, I CAME TO PLAY*****

Punk rolls his eyes as Miz’s music hits as he gets a bombardment of boos.

The Miz twirls the mic around with his hand as he stops at the stage.

**The Miz: “Really Punk? You call our match last night, a win?”**

The Miz begins to walk down the ramp.

**The Miz: “Everybody knows that last night you got lucky!”**

The crowd vent their displeasure towards Miz.

**CM Punk: “Oh I’m sorry Miz, I didn’t see you there behind my WWE Championship!”**

YEAHHHHHH goes the crowd.

**CM Punk: “And look I don’t blame you for being more delusional than you already are, if that’s possible, because I did kick you pretty hard in the head right before I retained the WWE Championship.”**

The Miz is annoyed at Punk’s comments.

**CM Punk: “So I suggest you head back into your little dressing room, apply an ice-pack to your head, re-apply your make up and go away!”**

Punk smiles mischievously as Miz takes a deep breath.

**The Miz: “How dare you! How dare you disrespect me like that! I am the most must-see WWE Champion in history and I do not deserve this. Mr. Laurinaitis, thank you for giving me a match with this thug because tonight Punk, l am better then you and I will beat you in a one on one match.”**

CM Punk leans into Miz as both men have intense looks on their face.

**CM Punk: “Okay Miz, you can jerk yourself into believing whatever you like but if you think you can beat me one on one than you better be ready to get your pathetic ass kicked in!”**

The crowd roars as the two men stand toe-to-toe, face-to-face.

**Laurinaitis: “Woah, woah, woah, woah! Okay lets take a step back.”**

The crowd boos as Miz steps back.

**Laurinaitis: “You know what, Mr. Excitement has another idea! Punk, seeing as though you are so confident about your match, if Miz wins tonight, he will get a WWE Championship match next week on the final edition of Monday Night RAW of 2011!”**

Both men nod their head in agreement as Laurinaitis smiles.

Punk steps back, looks around, and then swings his leg, kicking Miz in the side of the temple!!

**Laurinaitis: “Evening John.”**

**Cena: “Mr. Laurinaitis.”**

**Laurinaitis: “Now John I think you know why I’m here. I need to talk to you about what happened last night.”**

Cena nods at Laurinaitis.

**Laurinaitis: “Now as you know, Alberto Del Rio suffered a concussion last night as a result of your actions. Now that’s okay because it was a chairs match. What I’m concerned about is the fact that you put your hands on a referee, and then on me. That is unacceptable! So as Interim General Manager of Monday Night RAW and Executive Vice-President of Talent Relations, I am ordering you to compete in a match tonight as well as reprimanding you for your actions. If you fail to do so or you step one foot out of line, you will be suspended.”**

This announcement garners some cheers from the crowd.

**Laurinaitis: “Now I know that Wrestlemania is 4 months away and your match with The Rock must be on your mind, but these out-bursts can’t be tolerated, do I make myself clear.”**

Cena has his head down and looks back up at Johnny Ace.

----------------------------------------------

Back from commercial we see Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler at their desk.

**Michael Cole: “Well ladies and gentleman last night at TLC it was Big Show vs Mark Henry for the World Heavyweight Championship. Now we know that Henry retained and tried to attack Big Show.”**

**Jerry Lawler: “Yeah, then the Big Red Machine Kane returned and helped Big Show take out Henry!”**

**Michael Cole: “That’s right Jerry but this next part is what annoyed me, Daniel Bryan tried to cash in his money in the bank contract on a helpless Mark Henry, and I’m thankful that Big Show did what he did.”**

**Jerry Lawler: “For Christ sake Michael, Daniel Bryan is allowed to cash in his briefcase whenever he pleases. I think Big Show just got sour grapes knowing that Daniel Bryan was about to become World Champion.”**

**Michael Cole: “Well regardless of what you think Big Show will be here to justify his actions last night.”**

*****CRANK IT UP*****

Big Show’s music hits to a mixed reaction from the Philadelphia fans. Show is not his usual bubbly self as he walks to the ring, staring at the fans. The 400 lb giant gets in the ring with a mic.

**Big Show: “A lot of people have asked me why I did what I did last night at TLC. And the answer is simple – Daniel Bryan does not deserve to be World Champion.”**

Big Show receives boo’s from the crowd after this statement.

**Big Show: “I’ve worked myself to the bone in this company for nearly 13 years. And when I finally get the chance to win the World Heavyweight Championship, everyone’s talking about this pipsqueak and how he’s gonna mainevent Wrestlemania because of the briefcase he won?! Then, on the night I’m finally gonna win the World Championship, he teases that he’s going to cash in on the champion that night!”**

Big Show begins to get aggravated.

**Big Show: “Daniel Bryan got in my way, he cost me the chance to become World Champion all because he wanted everyone to talk about his Money in the Bank and how he would mainevent Wrestlemania. Well I tell you one thing, there is no way that Daniel Bryan will even make it to Wrestlemania!”**

The crowd now boo’s Big Show loudly.

*****FLIGHT OF THE VALKYRIES*****

Daniel Bryan’s theme hits to a decent pop from the crowd. Bryan still has his Money in the Bank briefcase in hand as he buoyantly strides to the ring, slapping hands with the WWE fans at ringside. Bryan gets in the ring and confronts Big Show.

**Daniel Bryan: “Show, show, show, wow. What can I say? You know Big Show I really thought that we were better friends than this. You say that I got in your way but that’s not the real issue. You got so annoyed that you couldn’t beat Mark Henry that when you saw me, about to win the World Heavyweight Championship, it pissed you off. You couldn’t stand to see me win the World Championship.”**

**Big Show: “Your right Daniel, I couldn’t stand seeing you win! You’ve done nothing but parade around with your stupid briefcase while I’ve been working my ass off to get a World Championship shot. You worked for nothing. And it sickens me that these people cheer you on!!”**

Big Show receives loud boo’s from the Philadelphia locals.

**Daniel Bryan: “Worked for nothing? Show, I’ve worked for 10 years to just get into this company. And for that, I’m thankful for all these great fans that cheer me on. I thought you were a good guy but obviously you’re just an overrated, overweight, sour grape that nobody likes!”**

OOOOHHHHH go the crowd as they cheer for Bryan’s burn on Big Show.
Bryan chuckles as Big Show looks at him, pissed off.

Big Show grabs Bryan, clutching his hand around Bryan’s neck. The crowd boo’s Big Show but Bryan fights back. Bryan strikes Big Show’s arm repeatedly, trying to get him off. Bryan kicks Show’s knees and he steps back. The crowd cheers Bryan.

Now Big Show, seeing as though you wanna control when Daniel Bryan can and can’t cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase, I am ordering you, under the approval of John Laurinaitis, to compete in a match tonight against…….RANDY ORTON!”**

The crowd pops for Teddy’s announcement.

*****I HEAR VOICES*****

IHW Review

For Newest Raw

Johnny Ace Opening w/ Punk and Miz- You hit John right on the spot, but I wasn’t really feeling CM Punk. Miz was okay. The segment itself was well done.

Ryder promo and match- Ryder had the right feeling. A well written match and a nice win for Ryder.

Cena and Johnny- Not much to say here, short transition segment.

Show and Bryan- A heel promo from Show, but I want a heel Bryan. Guess that’s just me, and I may have to wait for that.

Show vs. Orton- After the match is what I liked the most. All of the dominant SD forces are fighting, except the Champion. At first I though Kane was going to be helping Big Show time and time again, but then he choke slams him. I guess Kane just wants to be that dominant big man vying for the World Title. I wish we could off seen Henry in some way here.

AJ, Horny, Santino, Otunga- AJ would not use the word damn. I just don’t see it. That’s the only problem with her that stuck out. Other than that, it was a nice funny segment.

Cena vs. McIntyre- Longer match and I enjoyed it. McIntyre winning definitely surprised me.

Miz Interview- Not much here. Just a short segment going into the next where Miz puts himself over as next WWE champ.

6 man tag match- Shortest match of he night thus far. But, it still focuses on your Tag Team division, which I liked. 4 nice Tag Teams are featured here.

Main Event- Longest match, and should be. Miz looked good in the ring. He lost, which opens up the door for a new challenger who seems to be Cena. I do not like it. A possible Cena and Punk feud going into The Road to WrestleMania is not a good idea. Cena’s match is already booked. If Cena vs. Punk at RR is what you do, I hope you stop it at that. Punk needs a great deal of time to work with someone leading into ‘Mania.

OVERALL- This is my first review for your show, and I liked it. It seems to be a lot of the same though. I think there should be something different that sticks out from the real WWE in your show.

 

[workhorse]

Cheers for the words IHW

It's still only my third show and I am trying to move away from what the WWE had going (as I picked up where they left off) so it may take a few more shows for the show to be a lot different to WWE.

I'll return you a review soon.

WWE Monday Night RAW Preview (December 26th)

The Monday Night RAW train to the Royal Rumble stops in the Windy City, at the All State Arena. 2 weeks after the TLC PPV, this show is set to be jam-packed with great in-ring action from the superstars of RAW and Smackdown, as well as exciting entertainment backstage.


How will John Cena explain his actions last week?
Perhaps the most controversial superstar in the history of the WWE is in seemingly unknown territory. Something is upsetting the former 12 time world champion and having hit an all-time low, losing in convincing fashion to Drew McIntyre, Cena reacted by hitting WWE Champion CM Punk with an Attitude Adjustment. Cena will head to Chicago, the home of the WWE Champ, to justify his actions. Despite being in a personal battle, Cena is adamant that he can win the WWE Championship again and head to Wrestlemania to face The Rock as the WWE Champion. Obviously the WWE Champion CM Punk will have something to say about that. As will the former #1 Contender, The Miz, who continually claims that he deserves another shot at the WWE Championship.

Ziggler gets his re-match

Having lost the United States Championship at TLC, the cocky Dolph Ziggler will invoke his compulsory re-match clause on the internet sensation and new United States Champion, Zack Ryder. Ryder’s unbelievable ride of form will look to continue as he defends his title for the first time. Ziggler will have to be weary of the champ, who is fresh off a win against Ziggler’s partner, Jack Swagger. Ziggler is sure to have Swagger as well as Vickie Guerrero in his corner so this match is sure to be a cracker.

The Tag Team Division heats, Divas, plus more!

After last weeks surprising appearance, Curt Hawkins and Tyler Reks will take on The Uso brothers in this weeks Tag Team action. The tag team champs will be sure to be watching as these 2 tag teams look to strengthen their credentials in search of a WWE Tag Team Championships Match. The Divas of Doom are on a roll and with Kaitlyn having the best period of her career, will these strong, intimidating women be able to be stopped.

---------------------------------------------------

Commercial

---------------------------------------------------

Back from commercial we see Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler at the announce table.

**Michael Cole: “Welcome back ladies and gentleman and King, what a start to RAW we’ve had!”**

**Jerry Lawler: “Your not wrong Cole, Jack Swagger attack Dolph Ziggler after he lost to Zack Ryder! What’s up with that?”**

**Michael Cole: “Clearly Vickie and Swagger are sick of Dolph Ziggler Jerry. Now onto a very important issue ladies and gentleman, John Cena, who many believe is cracking under the pressure of his match with The Rock in 4 months time at Wrestlemania, is coming out to talk to the WWE Universe, right now!!”**

*****MY TIME IS NOW*****

Cena’s music hits to a barrage of boos from the Chicago crowd. Cena walks out to the ramp. He salutes, and then walks to the ring, mic in hand.

Cena’s music stops as he stands in the middle of the ring. The boos as well as some muffled cheers are the loudest of the night.

**John Cena: “The last time I was in this arena was back in June at Money in the Bank, when CM Punk beat me for the WWE Championship.”**

The crowd cheers the name of their favourite son CM Punk.

**John Cena: “That night I got one of the worst reactions from a crowd in my career. But I understood that, because it was CM Punk’s hometown and everyone wanted to see CM Punk leave with the WWE Championship.”**
The crowd cheers again.

**John Cena: “What I don’t understand is why, after everything I do, week in week out, giving my all, working my teeth to the bone and risking my life for the WWE Universe, I still get booed.”**

BOOOOOOOOOO

**John Cena: “Now in the past I have said that it doesn’t matter who the fans boo and cheer because that’s their right and it’s still their right. But the fact that I pour my life into you people and now you treat me like this?”**

Cena looks around at the fans as they taunt him with 'CENA SUCKS' chants!

**John Cena: “So I vow to you people, I am going to do everything in my power to be the best I can be. Nobody and nothing is an obstacle for me and I will prove that I am the best and if that means beating CM Punk for the WWE Championship and then beating The Rock for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania, than I’ll by god do it!!!”**

Cena is animated as he still receives boos and some slight cheers.

*****AWESOME! I CAME TO PLAY*****

Miz’s music hits to a surprisingly mixed reaction.

The Miz cockily walks out from the back with a mic in his hands.

**The Miz: “Oh John, that’s, that's so very cute.”**

Miz sarcastically laughs at Cena.

**The Miz: “We all know why you’re so upset, don’t we?”**

The Miz gives Cena a sadistic grin as he walks down the ramp.

**The Miz: “In fact John we all know it’s more then just ‘the fans booing you’. The fans have booed you for a while now John and it never seems to bother you. But for some reason now it does?”**

The Miz is now in the ring and stands face to face with Cena.

**The Miz: “John, you’ve got the biggest match of your career at WrestleMania on April 1st. You know, deep down, that there is no way you can beat The Rock and that eats you up, so you take out your frustrations and blame these idiots when really it’s just you.”**

The fans boo The Miz as he taunts them and John Cena.

**The Miz: “So John, don’t you come out here, into my ring and claim that you will become WWE Champion and defend it against The Rock because that’s a whole other story. I will become WWE Champion. Even if that means beating CM Punk at the Royal Rumble or winning the Royal Rumble, I will do it.”**

Miz and Cena stand face to face as Miz glares at Cena.

**The Miz: “And there is nothing…”**

*****BROKEN DREAMS*****

Drew McIntyre’s music cuts off Miz’s speech as ‘The Chosen One’ struts out from the back and down to the ring. Cena and Miz look on, not sure if McIntyre is serious.

**McIntyre: “Sorry if I’m interrupting anything fellas but I couldn’t help over hearing both of you claiming that you’re going to be WWE Champion.”**

Miz and Cena look at each other and then back at Drew.

**McIntyre: “Miz, if I recall, CM Punk beat you at TLC and then again last week. I tried to help you but clearly that’s a lost cause. And Cena, I beat you last week so if you even think that you’re next in line for a WWE Championship match then you’ve got something else coming my friend.”**

McIntyre chuckles as he looks at Miz and Cena.

**John Cena: “Drew McIntyre!!! ‘The Chosen One’! I bet you wouldn’t even know what the WWE Championship looks like!”**

**Miz: “Shut up Cena! McIntyre, the only reason I lost last week was because of you. I new I shouldn’t trust a nobody like yourself!”**

*****CULT OF PERSONALITY*****

The Chicago crowd erupt as their local, the WWE Champion CM Punk, comes out from the back. Punk is grinning as he soaks in the crowd’s admiration. Punk walks to the ring with a mic and joins the other three.

Punk looks at all three men and chuckles to himself.

**CM Punk: “I’m sorry guys, I was having such laugh as I watched this in the back and I wasn’t going to come out here but it just got too embarrassing. I mean seriously, John Cena, your out here claiming again how much you work your ass off, well I know another ass that gets worked and that’s Vince McMahon’s while your kissing it!”**

Cena gives Punk a death stare as the crowd erupt in cheers.

**CM Punk: “Miz, I beat you again last week, so I think you need to go away, fix your make-up and then come back to me when you’re a proper Pro-Wrestler because right now, you’re a pretender and it’s a joke that your event his close to a WWE Championship.”**

The crowd roars as Punk smiles and continues his hot rant by looking at Drew McIntyre.

**CM Punk: “And finally………this guy.”**

**McIntyre: “My names Drew McIntyre. And I am the chosen one!”**

**CM Punk: “Chosen One right, I’ll be sure to remember that one. Well whoever you are, good luck getting a shot at my title because lets face it a pony-tail alone should be enough for a guy like you to get your ass fired. Well, ‘guy’ isn’t quite the right word.”**

Punk smiles at a furious Drew McIntyre.

“Alright everybody hold up!”

The familiar sound of John Laurinaitis’ voice rings through the All-State Arena as the Interim General Manager of Monday Night RAW makes his way out from the back. The Chicago fans boo mercilessly at Johnny Ace as he smiles and waves from the top of the stage.

**John Laurinaitis: “Now it’s clear to me that Miz, John Cena and Drew McIntyre all have a case to be made for a WWE Championship shot. So let’s settle this tonight!”**

The crowd cheers Johnny’s announcement.

**John Laurinaitis: “But instead of having a boring old triple-threat match, I, Mr. Excitement, have come up with a better idea. Seeing as this is the final Monday Night RAW for 2011, and seeing as though CM Punk has no match tonight, it will be a Fatal-4-Way Match! Miz, John Cena and Drew McIntyre, if one of you is to win, you will face CM Punk for the WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble. But if CM Punk is to win, he will not defend the title at the Royal Rumble.”**

The crowd cheers and chants C-M-PUNK!!

**John Laurinaitis: “So you can all thank me for being the greatest Interim General Manager of Monday Night RAW in history!”**

Johnny leaves with a bang as the crowd boo his exit to the back.

Back in the ring, the four men stare each other down. All of a sudden Cena grabs McIntyre, ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT!! Punk grabs The Miz, GTS!!
The crowd roars as Punk and Cena stare each other down in the middle of the ring. The picture begins to go fuzzy.
