WWE: 2002, Today

[The Extract]

*No Chance In Hell*

Before the RAW's entrance has even begun, here comes Vince McMahon to a HUGE pop! He does his strut down to the ring. When getting up to the apron, Lillian Garcia holds the ropes for him to walk in. She gives him the mic.

“WELCOME TO MONDAY NIGHT RAW!” This gets a loud roar from the crowd. “Now I am here to announce some very big news. So I need to ask every superstar or diva in the back to get your asses out here!” Vince waits until the superstars get to the ramp until speaking once more. “Now, as all of you think by now, the brand extension has pretty much ended! Well, I am here to tell you, that you all are completely wrong! Because here tonight, we are having a DRAFT LOTTERY!” The crowd seems torn, half booing, and half cheering their asses off! “Now not all of the superstars get picked tonight. That’s because of two reasons. 1. We will be having the lottery on this week’s SMACKDOWN as well. And 2. Those that are seen are not the only superstars. Because you see, I have signed new, and in some cases, better superstars!” The crowd pops.

“Now to start, I must introduce the two general managers who will be picking for each show.” Booker T and AJ Lee come out to a mild cheer. “What the Hell do you think you are doing in my ring? I didn’t mean you when I said general managers. Booker is now a commentator, while AJ, you are a diva again. Because the general managers I choose are….” The light goes out for a second, adding to the suspense. “RIC FLAIR for RAW!” Huge ovation for the Nature Boy! “And for Smackdown I choose… my son! Shane McMahon!” A little less pop for Shane, but still a big one. They both come down to the ramp together, though announced separately.

“Each general manager will get to choose one superstar to start of their show, those two superstars will compete in a match, where the winning brand will receive 1 random picked, and one hand-picked superstar. While the losing brand gets one random pick. Then the manager will get to pick one of the then-current superstars to fight. And then it continues until all 30 superstars are picked. So Shane, who do you pick?”

“I pick John Cena!” Boos from men are outweighing the cheers of the woman and children.

*My Time is Now*

Cena’s music hits and he comes down to the ring, shakes hands with Shane, and puts on a smackdown shirt!


“Well I pick a more up and coming superstar, and who I'm sure will by my future WWE Champion, DOLPH ZIGGLER!” Ziggler’s music hits while he and Vickie walk down to the ring. “Wait right there Dolph! I said I picked Dolph Ziggler! Not Vickie Guerrero! She will not be on my brand!” Vickie screams and looks at Dolph. Dolph looks at her, then walks to Ric as Vickie tries to follow. “Security! Escort this freak out!” Ric says as Vickie looks pissed. She lunges at Dolph while security grabs her. Dolph turns and walks to Flair.

“Let’s get started! Clear the ring, then ring the bell!”

“Wait Ric, did you just say the former WWE Champion?’”

“All titles are vacant now Punk! So give me the belt, or you are fired.” CM Punk tosses up the belt to Flair, but when Ric catches it, Punk hits Ric in the face with a mic!

“Welcome to MY show Ric!” Punk does a quick pipe-bomb, and leaves.

“Yay. My turn!” Shane pulls out a random ball. He reads it into the mic. “Matt Morgan! Your match starts now!”

*KNOW YOUR ENEMY*

Smackdown opens as “Know Your Enemy” plays throughout the arena. The pryo goes off and ends around the same time the song ends. Tumblers are at the front of the ramps, as a special draft edition of Smackdown gets under way.

*NO CHANCE*

Vince McMahon walks out towards the ring as Lillian Garcia announces him. She holds down the ropes and lets the chairman enter the ring. “It’s great to be back in DETROIT MICHIGAN!” The fans go crazy over McMahon! “Tonight is a very special night, because it is the live, draft special! I am not just here because of that though. I have a little bit of additional information that I would like to say. Now as you probably saw on RAW, both members of the Tag Team Championship have been drafted to Smackdown!” No chants emerge from the crowd. “Now, settle down. Raw will be rewarded the World Tag Team Titles, while Smackdown will keep the WWE Tag Team Titles. Now my next piece of news is that Smackdown and Raw will have separate PPVs, and joint PPVs. Here is a list of the Pay-Per-Views.” Vince points to the titantron. This shows on the screen:

(RAW)Over The Limit - June 20th

“There you have it. That isn’t even my biggest announcement! I really can’t wait to say this! But first, I need all of the divas down to this ring. NOW!” The divas walk out to almost no reaction at all. “Girls I must tell you something. We are bringing back a title that is allowed to be defended by a superstar on either show. And well, to get more superstars to be contenders for this title, we had to… get rid of something. So, with that said, girls… YOU’RE FIRED! Security, escort these women out.”

Vince waits for security to get the women off the ramp until he brings again. “Where was I? Oh yeah, I was talking about the title. Now the person who last held this title is no longer working with us. I’m sure at least most of you remember him as Hornswoggle, but I will always remember him as ‘Little Bastard’. There will be a title tournament starting this Raw and the finals being at Over the Limit! But anyways, welcome back the Cruiserweight Championship!” The title is brought to Vince via ringside. “The currently drafted superstars that will be in the tournament are; Daniel Bryan, and Rey Mysterio! But there are 9 more to come!”

“There is one more thing that we need to know. Who are the competitors in the tag team match to kick off the night? That is up to Ric Flair and Shane McMahon! But I know you guys are listening to me, so send your two men up here to get this match started!”

Commercial break

We come back from the break to see AJ Lee crying backstage. Jack Swagger walks by. “You’ll be O.K. girl! You will easily get something else! Who needs the divas division in the WWE?!”

“I need it Jack! This was all I had left! Bryan, Kane, and Punk have all left! Wrestling was all I had!”

“AJ, stop! I have an idea!”


The camera pans out from backstage to all the competitors for the next match in the ring.

“Now for our manual pick, Smackdown drafts Wade Barrett!"

*JUST DON’T CARE ANYMORE (V2)*

Barrett comes out to an even louder array of boos. He shakes Shane’s hand and grabs a Smackdown shirt. He looks disgusted by Shane.

“Now is this what you think of me? I have been picked 8th on Smackdown! 8th. That is the saddest thing I have ever heard. Do you even know who I am? I was the leader of the Nexus, and the Corre. I headlined 3 more Pay-Per-Views in 3 years than you have your entire life Shane.”

“Welcome to Smackdown. Now get off of my ramp, and get down to the ring. And Wade, just to spice up your match, if a Smackdown man wins, he will face Matt Morgan in a one on one match next week for a chance at the World Heavyweight Championship!” Wade reluctantly does as he was told and moves down to the ring.

“Smackdown’s next draft pick is…(Shane puts his hand into the tumbler and reads the name into the microphone)… Cody Rhodes!

*VOICES*

“Did you just say what I think you just said Ric? Did you really just say that I can’t get the job done? Look in the mirror Ric. You were retired because you couldn’t go anymore! You are wrong Ric. I could have easily gotten you draft picks. I can beat anyone. I dare you to give me a chance on RAW Ric. Give me a shot at ANY title, and I will win it. If I don’t then you can fire me on the spot!”

“Fine Randy, you will get a chance. But first you will have to win this next match! The battle royal is RAW vs. Smackdown, and we only have 7 out of 8 entries in the WWE title tourney. So if you can last until the end, then you will be the 8th man.”

*Tonight is the Night *

Pyro goes off as the crowd goes nuts over the start of RAW!

*Dawn*

Ric Flair comes out to a huge reaction! Flair takes his time getting to the ring, doing the Nature Boy strut. He tells Lillian Garcia to hold the ropes, while he gets into the ring. She grabs him a microphone. “WOO! It’s good to be back in Seattle!” The crowd cheers louder. “Alright, settle down, because I have something important to do! I would like to introduce you to the RAW roster! Randy Orton!” Orton comes out to a loud roar of cheers. “John Morrison! Kidd Swag! Sin Cara!” Each superstar comes out to a different reaction. “Motor City Machine Guns! Charlie Haas! The Rock! Miz! Shelton Benjamin! Rey Mysterio! CM Punk. Big Show! And the crowning jewel of RAW, Dolph Ziggler!”

*Here to Show the World*

“Woah woah woah. Slow your role there Ric. You are calling Dolph the ‘crowning jewel of RAW, yet he has had one world title reign. Even then, he had it handed to him, and then he lost it in 18 minutes! You call that a jewel! And Dolph, you call yourself a showoff! What the Hell do you have to show?! You have a messed up haircut and a crazy guy who used to be all that but is now nothing that thinks you’re tough. I am a real jewel. No, I am the Best in the World!” CM Punk interrupts the Nature Boy. Punk sits on the corner turnbuckle.

“That’s right Punk, I am a jewel. That’s right; I did lose my World title. But Punk, I do not showoff. Because it’s not showing off, if you’re that. Damn. Good. I will be proving this in a minute, once you jobbers get out of the ring, so that my WWE title tournament match can start.” Dolph Ziggler interrupts the former champion.

“Dolph, I hope you make it to the finals of this tourney, because if you do, I will get the pleasure of knocking you, and whoever wants to try to help you, out. See you later Ziggles.” Pipe bomb. Punk drops his mic, and then leaves the ring. All the other superstars leave the ring as well; all except for Dolph’s opponent for the title tourney, and his partner. Rey talks to Sin Cara for second, and then he leaves the ring to go to ringside.
