Michael Cole:
Welcome to Monday Night RAW ladies ad Gentlemen. What a night we have in store. We are kicking things off with the Chairman of the board.


No Chance! Vince McMahon’s music hits. He makes his way to the ring and is followed by SmackDown General Manager, Theodore Long.

Vince McMahon:
Last night at Wrestlemania WWE made history. SmackDown made its final contribution to the WWE universe. As of this moment SmackDown is history. Its over, its finished.

The announcers, fans and even Teddy Long are in utter shock.

Vince McMahon:
That now means that a select few of the SmackDown roster will join RAW whilst the overs will be let go, that also means we are going to need a General Manager to oversee this transitional period here in the WWE. With that being said, Teddy Long… YOU”RE FIRED!!!

Teddy Looks stunned as he slowly leaves the ring with Vince laughing in the background.

Vince McMahon:
Please welcome the new general manager of Monday Night RAW, my billion dollar princess… Daddy's Little Girl... Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley!.

Stephanie makes her way to the ring, reveling in the hate pouring from the crowd. Soaking every minute of it she hugs her father before taking a microphone.

Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley:
Thank you Daddy. Firstly let me just sat that his is a new era for RAW, WWE and the Fans. I am going to revolutionize Sports Entertainment. I am going to revolutionise the WWE and im going to do it my way

Vince McMahon:
A number of Superstars from the SmackDown brand have been handed RAW contracts and have until Backlash in a months time to sign them or be released.
The most notable of people to have been given a contact which is yet to be signed is the World Heavyweight Champion, Edge. Edge if your watching, don’t make me wait.
On a more positive note Let me please introduce the first acquisition from SmackDown… Drew McIntyre.

Drew McIntyre slowly walks to the ring, he shakes hands with Vince and then Stephanie.

Vince McMahon:
This man is the future of this company and Stephanie as the new head and future heiress of the WWE its up to you to make sure that happens. Whatever this man wants I want you to give it too him.
He is hand picked and i want a return on my investment.

RAW goes to commercial with Drew and Stephanie shaking hands with Vince stood looking at both.

Christian Cage’s music plays loud throughout the arena, the crowd goes wild as Mr. Money In The Bank enters the ring and into his show. His briefcase is not with him.

Ted DiBiase if your watching and you probably are, I want that briefcase back and I want it back now.

As the Peep Show set is straightened out Edge picks up his world title and Christian is holding his Briefcase, there is a moment of silence where both men look at each other and also at what the other is holding.

Edge and Christian both sit down.

Edge:
I wouldn’t normally endorse another guy’s show considering I have my own but its pretty cool to be here on the Peep Show.

The crowd pop

Christian Cage:
Listen, Edge, why haven’t you signed your RAW contract yet? Whats going on?

Christian lifts up some paper, the contract Edge has yet to sign

Edge:
I wanted to check the place out first, its been a few years since I was last here and RAW has its problems, look at Miz. If I come to RAW I want to be the top guy, I don’t want to share the spotlight with some delusional ego-maniac thinking he is awesome.

Christian Cage:
You are the World Heavyweight CHampion, you wont have to share the spotlight with anybody man. You could kick Miz' ass any day of the week and he knows it.
Sign the contract, come to RAW.

Edge:
Look Christian I'm not sure man, you gotta let me think about it.

The fans erupt as Christian raises Edge’s arm. The camera spots a smirk appear on Christian’s face as Monday Night RAW ends.

 

[GLOBAL ICON]

Great show dude. Like the thing between McIntyre/Steph/Hunter. Really pulls me into the show. The Miz open challenge is another thing to watch-out for. But, I couldn't see Cena and Alberto anywhere on both shows. What's up with them? Are they gone for good or just taking a break? But that doesn't matter really. Just put up a Backlash updated card so its not hard to find out what matches are on.

Good luck. I'm looking forward to your next show.

Welcome to Monday Night RAW ladies and gents, we are kicking things off tonight with the WWE Tag Team Championships.

The tag champs receive a great pop from the crowd as a video package shows Ted and Brett DiBiase on the Peep Show attacking Christian last week. At the end of the video it announces that they will face Edge and Christian at Backlash.

Justin Roberts:
And their opponents, from West Palm Beach, Florida, at a combined weight of 456lbs… Brett and Ted DiBiase.

The DiBiase’s enter the ring and the referee holds up the championship belts.

Brett starts off with Santino, The crowd are right behind the tag team champions as Santino takes control. Santino connects with some stiff left hand punches before flooring DiBiase with a vicious right hand. Santino drags Brett over to his corner and tags in Kozlov. Kozlov picks Brett up from the floor, grabs hold of him and head-butts Brett numerous times in the chest, Kozlov lets go and Brett flops to the matt, he starts to crawl over to his brother Ted, who is leaning over trying to get the tag.

Kozlov tags Santino into the ring and he rushes towards Brett who has nearly reached his brother Ted. Ted DiBiase shouts abuse at Kozlov at the other end of the ring and Kozlov tries to get in but the referee stops him.

At the other end of the ring whilst the refs back is turned Ted enters the ring and connects with dream street on Santino, he rolls his brother Brett on top of Santino and rushes towards Kozlov and knocks him from the apron. The referee notices the cover, rushes over and counts 1…2…3

Justin Roberts:
Here and your Winners and the NEW WWE Tag Team Champions… Ted and Brett DiBiase

As Ted and Brett celebrate with their gold “You Think You Know Me” plays as smoke bellows from the stage. Edge races though the curtain and heads towards the ring. The DiBiase run through the crowd before Edge can get to them.

Edge is handed a microphone and Justin Roberts hands him a contract.

Edge:
Here in my hands I have the RAW contract I signed last week. I wanted to officially announce my arrival here on the RAW brand.

After last week both myself and Christian have some un-finished business with The DiBiase’s which is why I scared them off just now. Boys if your listening your defending them newly won tag team titles against the former 7 time champs Edge and Christian at Backlash.

The crowd go wild.

“AWESOME” Edge is interrupted by the WWE Champion, Miz and Alex Riley head onto the stage. Miz holds his WWE title up in the air.

The Miz:
Edge, let me be the first to welcome you here to Monday Night RAW, my show! After what you did to me two weeks ago after my match with Sgt. Slaughter I’ve a good mind to come down to that ring and teach you a lesson.

Edge:
Why don’t you then. What you are Miz is a scared little boy. You know that at any moment Christian can cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase at any time and beat you for that WWE title.

The Miz:
Don’t you interrupt me! Shouldn’t you be worried that he doesn’t cash it on on you. He has turned on you before, what makes you think he wont do it again.
Listen Edge I don’t have time to deal with you right now, I have a former WWE Champion to face…Because I’m The Miz… and I'm…

Edge interrupts…

Edge:
AWFUL!!

Miz glares at Edge before leaving the stage.

It doesn’t matter who it is, I'm The Miz!

Alex Riley:

MATCH 2
WWE Womens Champion Awesome Kong runs the gauntlet.

Justin Roberts:
The following contest is to determine the Number One Contender to the WWE Womens Championship at Backlash.

Laycool are next, they surround the ring and with Kongs back facing her Layla is first to enter the ring. Kong spots this and turns to face Layla as Michelle creeps in, Kong has Layla by the throat until McCool kicks Kong in the back of the knee.

Mickie then exits the ring but stays on the turnbuckle, she pushes down on the ropes and pulls Kong at the same time, Kongs weight eventually gets too much for the ropes as they buckle sending Kong tumbling out of the ring an onto the floor.

Justin Roberts:
Here is your winner and new Number One Contender… Mickie James.

____________________________________________________________________________

William Regal’s music hits and he, along wit Wade Barrett and Sheamus make their way to the ring. Regal is given a microphone.

William Regal:
This is exactly why I am out here tonight. Justin Roberts I demand that you introduce me to this crowd.

Roberts looks shocked at being called out by Regal.
Barrett and Sheamus leave the ring and walk towards a petrified Roberts, they pick him up by the scruff of the neck and force his microphone into his face. The crowd are booing the pair.

Justin Roberts:
Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome… William Regal.

Barrett and Sheamus throw Roberts back into his chair. They climb back into the ring.

William Regal:
If you would have just done that whilst I was walking down the ramp then we wouldn’t have had to have been so rough. All we want is some equality for us Brits here in this disgusting country you call America.

Barrett and Sheamus clap Regal’s comments as the crowd get even more worked up towards the trio.

William Regal:
Now I'm out here talking about us British not getting our fair share of the spotlight here in the WWE, that’s why these two young, up and coming superstars came to me, they feel the same as I do. They don’t get any respect in that locker room full of Americans.

We are outcasts and we are here to tell you, we are here to tell you at home and we are here to tell the guys in the back that if you don’t show us respect, We are going to take it.

D’Lo Brown interrupts and heads to the ring for his scheduled match against Wade Barrett.

MATCH 3
Wade Barrett vs. D’Lo Brown

Before the bell rings Sheamus grabs the leg of D’lo Brown who turns to face the Irishman. Barrett takes advantage of this and hits D’Lo in the back of the head sending him crashing out of the ring, Barrett drags the referee turning his back whilst on the outside Sheamus throws D’lo into the ring steps whilst William Regal exposes the concrete by lifting the padding up. Before they can do anything with that though the referee tells them he will eject them from ringside if they persist.

D’Lo rolls back into the ring. Barrett dominates from here on in. D’lo is tossed into the corner of the ring and Barrett thrusts his shoulders into D’Lo’s mid-section, D’Lo collapses out of the corner. Regal instructs Barrett to finish it.

Barrett picks a weary D’Lo Brown and picks him onto his shoulders and connects with the wadeslam. Barrett falls to his knees and covers D’Lo. 1…2…3

Justin Roberts:
Here is your winner… Wade Barrett.

Regal and Sheamus get back into the ring. Sheamus picks D’Lo up from the heap he was in, puts him over his shoulders and delivers the Celtic Cross over the top rope smashing D’Lo’s back onto the exposed concrete outside the ring.

William Regal:
As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted. Finlay showed us no respect when he rejected our invitation to join us in our quest for respect therefore Finlay must be made an example of like he was last week here on RAW

Footage of the attack is shown on the titantron

William Regal:
And the same fate will await Finlay when he takes on Sheamus at Backlash.

Let everyone be warned… The Invasion is happening.

Regal, Barrett and Sheamus stand with their arms aloft whilst the crowd show their contempt towards them.

Triple H walks past, banging into Skip. Todd Grisham leaves Sheffield looking annoyed as he runs after Triple H.

Todd Grisham:
Triple H, can I have a word.

Triple H:
Yes you can, the word is No!

Todd Grisham:
We were all told that Stephanie McMahon had given you the night off and had told you that you would not wrestle at Backlash, what are your thoughts.

Triple H:
First of all Todd, its Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley. The woman is my wife! Second of all I am the King of Kings and I don’t take nights off. I'm here to confront that little weasel Drew McIntyre.

Triple H walks away as Skip Sheffield walks back into shot.

What the hell are you doing here, I gave you the night off

Triple H:
Where is he?

Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley:
Who? Where is who?

Triple H:
Don’t play stupid with me, where is McIntyre?

Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley:
He isn’t here, what’s your problem with him anyway.

Triple H:
Just forget it!

Triple H storms out of the office, Stephanie looks a little bewildered.

Miz picks up his belt and hurries out of the room
____________________________________________________________________________

Justin Roberts:
Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome in the ring… Matt Striker.

Matt Striker:
For the last two weeks there has been some animosity between CM Punk and Daniel Bryan, I have spoken with the GM and she has granted me ring time to talk with these two men, so please welcome… CM Punk.

CM Punk receives a hostile ovation as he slowly makes his way into the ring.

Matt Striker:
Thanks for joining us Punk, lets next introduce… Daniel Bryan

Bryan gets a pop from the crowd, he enters the ring and stands nose to nose with Punk, Striker tries to get in the middle to separate them.

Matt Striker:
Okay first off, Punk, why did you attack Daniel Bryan after he had lost a submission match with William Regal two weeks ago here on Monday night RAW?

CM Punk:
No Comment.

Matt Stiker:
Erm… okay, why did you run through the crowd rather than face Daniel Bryan like a man when Daniel ran to the ring last week?

CM Punk:
No Comment:

Daniel Bryan interrupts:

Daniel Bryan:
Ill tell you why, its because you’re a coward.

Matt Striker:
Do you have anything to say in response to that Punk?

CM Punk looks at Bryan, before looking at Striker. Punk drops the microphone and exits the ring to a chorus of boos. He heads back up the ramp.

Daniel Bryan:
It’s a good job you aren’t speaking because come Backlash there wont be any time for talking when I get my hands on you in this ring.

[GLOBAL ICON]

Good show again. Good to see E & C back again but... I would have loved to see Edge defend the World Heavyweight title at Backlash. And now, after 3 weeks, I think you should have declared the WWE championship match. The tension between Triple H and Drew McIntyre is undoubtedly awesome. The Y2J return thing was good. So keep it up and good luck for the next show.

 

[Da Prophet]

Well that was a twist, nice idea I must say. The whole Jericho thing gave some surprise, and would have made people mark out. Then to have Alex dress up as Jericho kind of stuffed it for me. I would have liked you to have Jericho walk out, then be attacked by Alex. He then throws Jericho into the ring, and Miz gains the cheap win. That is how it should have happened, rather than Alex just laying down in the ring.

Not a fan of all the different colours, as they are all light, and just don't mix. Either use some different colours or maybe just drop them and use bolds. It's just a personal thing so you don't have to listen, but hey.

Overall all it was an OK show, the match writing could have been longer. The promos could of had more depth, giving it a better feel. Filling up the show more, more detail is always good. I would give it a 6/10, it wasn't anything amazing, but it was a fun read I must say. Keep going and I hope to see some improvement next time I read, which will only make the show even better. It's good to finally have something to work against in a bit of friendly competition.

 

[D-Squared]

Thanks for the comments Icon and Prophet.

Yeah i see now that all the colours are a little distracting so will be working on that for the next couple of shows.

The match writing will get more detailed once i get into the swing of things, for me personally its all about the storylines and i tend to just highlight what needs highlighting in the matches but will work on detailed matches for the future.

In regards to the WWE title i think you can see where i am going with this match for Backlash so waited until 3rd/4th week to announce it so i could have Jericho back.

What with Edge just coming to RAW i felt the need to push the World title on the back burner for the time being whilst he settles in with Christian and wanted to create some tension what with Edge as the champ and Christian holding MITB.

Thanks again for the comments and i shall work on incorporating your ides/suggestions into future shows.

 

[D-Squared]

…

Todd Grisham:
Hello and welcome to WWE Superstars my name is Todd Grisham, we are kicking things off with the WWE Champions Apprentice... Alex Riley.

Venis climbs to the top rope and attempts a jumping dropkick. Riley moves out of the way at the last minute, he rolls Venis up and holds on to the ropes for leverage which the referee does not see. 1...2...3

Zack Ryder vs Santino Marella

Zack Ryder has Curt Hawkins at ringside and Santino has Kozlov with him.
Ryder controls the opening of the match, he tosses Santino in to the corner and thrusts his shoulder into the Italian's mid-section, he then throws him to the mat and tries a cover, Santino kicks out at 2.

Ryder walks towards where Kozlov is standing and gets in his face, Kozlov stands on the ring apron and the ref rushes over to where Kozlov is to calm him down.

With the referee's back turned Hawkins slides into the ring and picks Santino up, the referee turns around and catches Hawkins and disqualifies Ryder.

Ryder looks shocked and pissed at Hawkins. Kozlov drags Santino out of the ring leaving Hawkins and Ryder staring at each other. Hawkins walks towards Ryder and extends his hand to shake. Ryder ignores it and walks past his partner, out of the ring and up the ramp.

Winner via Disqualification... Santino Marella.
