Michael Cole: Welcome everyone to Monday Night Raw, episode #1207 . We are looking now at the locker room where all the superstars are looking on as this tension filled night begins to unfold. It's the WWE Draft. They're all wondering as much as we are, where will everyone be? Who's going to Raw, and who's going to SmackDown. We find out tonight.
*Shane and Stephanie are then shown staring down at each other in the interview area*
Vince McMahon: Last week, I said that we’re gonna come to Raw tonight and shake things up, and by God, that’s what we’re gonna do. Because tonight, tonight will be the return of the Draft Lottery. And this is the way that it’s gonna go down. Shane, you’re going to be representing Raw. Stephanie, you’re going to represent SmackDown. You both will have bins full of WWE superstars, announcers, interviewers, everybody that is signed to a WWE contract, is able to be drafted. You both will be able to pick from all of them. There will be a total of 20 picks altogether. At the end of the night, if you're not satisfied with your picks, no problem, you can trade anyone you wish, anyone on the roster, as long as you do so by 12 midnight, tonight. That's the deadline. At the end of the night, we're gonna have a brand new SmackDown, a brand new Raw, and a brand new WWE. Any questions.
Stephanie McMahon: Well dad (crowd boos), there is one for you, clearly you've given consideration to those who are in NXT, those who are not with us this evening, and those who are on the injured list. Austin Aries, Samoa Joe, Shinsuke Nakamura, Finn Bálor, Bayley, Neville, Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper. Clearly they're exempt.
Vince McMahon: Maybe I didn't make myself clear. No one is exempt. No one on this entire roster is exempt from this draft lottery. I don't even care if the person is not here tonight, such as Paul Heyman, such as Neville, such as Bray Wyatt, they're not here, that's too bad. They're all still part of the draft. It doesn't matter. Alright? Everyone is eligible. Shane, Stephanie, good luck.
Shane and Stephanie: Thanks, dad. *both reach hands out for hand shake, Vince just walks away, Shane and Stephanie go back to staring each other down.*

Michael Cole: It is a historic night on Monday Night Raw, and we are live from the sold out Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan, where tonight, the first WWE Draft Lottery in five years will be held in the biggest shake-up in WWE history. Hello again, everybody, I'm Michael Cole alongside JBL where tonight, we find out who will be joining us Monday nights on Raw
JBL: Well Michael, tension is running high in the WWE locker room, and for good reason, because quite frankly, this is gonna be a career changing night for, well, whatever Superstars' names get picked in that draft lottery tonight. Who knows, the two of us could get separated, as we just heard from Mr. McMahon, we're both eligible to be drafted to either Raw or SmackDown. I'm excited, and I'm ready.
Michael Cole: It's all about Raw, it's all about SmackDown, speaking of which, we have Mauro Ranallo and Corey Graves right next to us at ringside.
Mauro Ranallo: Well thank you, gentlemen. It's a privilege to be here with you tonight, it's a historic night indeed, and we are wondering, Corey, what Superstars will be joining us Tuesday nights on SmackDown.
Corey Graves: I can't wait, Mauro, I'm amped up, fired up, check it out, SmackDown and Raw will change forever, starting tonight.
