Monday Night RAW: June 8, 2009
Without a video package to open the show we head sraight to the ring where Vince is standing. Every WWE employee that appears on television stand around the ring and up the ramp.
Vince: Okay, so here's the deal. Overall, the WWE product has become lackluster. We hear it all the time. So now, we're gonna shake things up a little bit. We're going to have some firings, some hirings, a big draft, and all the titles are going to be vacated. So, without further ado, let me make the first big change: Vickie Guerrero, YOU'RE FFIIRREEDD!!!
The camera pans to Vickie, who looks distraught and starts weeping, as security comes to escort her out of the building. The crow starts to chant "Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na, Hey Hey Hey Hey, Goodbye."
Vince: So, of course, now there is need for a new General Manager for RAW. So, please welcome back to the WWE, the former GM of RAW, Mr. Eric Bischoff!
"I'M BACK! AND BETTER THAN EVER!" As the infamous music play, Bischoff walks down the ramp, as superstars clear the way, in pure disbelief. Eric shakes hands with Vince and exits the ring, standing with superstars beside the ring.
Vince: Now, Tiffany, let me just announce you are no longer going to be General Manager of ECW. Instead, you will just wrestle on that show. But I am leaving complete and total charge of ECW to the most extreme person I can think of, my son, Shane McMahon!
Shane's music hits and walks to the ring. He grabs the microphone.
Shane: let me just say one thing: ECW will once again be Extreme! Tune into tomorrow night if you want to find out exactly what I mean!
Vince: Okay, now let's get to the drafting part of the show. Each show'll get seven picks. Now each of you may draw a name.
A big lottery type machine is bought out in front of the three GM's, who are now sitting beside each other. They each stand up one by one a make a pick.
Bischoff: Ladies and Gentlemen, Edge is coming to Monday Night Raw!
Long: Well Holla Holla, John Cena is coming to join us on Friday Nights!
Shane: ECW has just accquired...Chris Jericho!

Match 1: Goldust vs. Charlie Hass
End of the Match- Hass hits a suplex and goes for the cover but only gets a two count. Frustrated, he picks Goldust up and whips him into the ropes and goes for a clothesline, but misses and Goldust hits a clothesline of his own. He then picks Hass up, hits a powerslam, and climbs the top rope. He hits the newest move in his set, a flying elbow, and goes for the pin. 1...2...3!
Winner at 8:38 seconds, Goldust!
Michael Cole: Well, it's time for the next picks in the draft!

Match 2: Kane vs. David Hart Smith
Quick 3 minute squash match. Kane wins with a flying clothesline a chokeslam.
Maria backstage with Tommy Dreamer.
Maria: Well Tommy, you won last night at Extreme Rules, gaining the ECW Title. But now that all the titles are vacant, you can no longer claim to be champ. How does that make you feel.
Dreamer: Well, Maria, I don't feel good about it, but I hope to win it back tonight. See, Shane McMahon just told me that I will be in an Extreme Rules match tonight against a surprise opponett, and the winner will be crowned ECW Champion.
Maria: Well, good luck in that match.
Dreamer: Thanks.
The camera pans to the 3 GM's ready to make two more pics.
Bischoff: Well, Well, It looks like RAW just got a little bit bigger. Welcome to RAW Mike Knox and Mark Henry!
Long: Well, playa, this is pretty cool. Tiffany and Santino Marella!
Shane: Welcome ECW's newest superstar, and newest vixen, Melina and Festus!

Back from commercial, The Miz is in the ring.
The Miz: Now that John Cena is on Smackdown, I am about to address another certain man. His name, is Shawn Michaels. Now Shawn, since John is gone, you are my next target. Now I know that people are saying that you are "injured", but I'm sure that now that I'm personally calling you out, you will be able to come out here and take me on in a match.
The camera pans to the aisleway, where there is no HBK to be seen.
Miz: exactly what I thought. Shawn is afraid to come out here. And you know why. Because I'm out here. Actually, he's just like all of you. He's intimidated by me. Like all of you are. And he should be. I mean, I'm a chick magnet. I am a former reality television star. I am undefeated against John Cena. I'm just me. You can't beat me, because I'm The Miz, and I'm Awesome!
With that, he leaves the ring, to merciless boos.
Backstage it shows Bischoff taking a look at his office. Randy Orton walks in.'
Bischoff: Well, hello Randy. Nice to see you again.
Randy: Nice to see you again too Eric. Anyway, I'm going to cut right to the chase. Since all the titles are vacated, and we both know Batista is injured, and I'm sure you'll agree with me that I'm the most reasonable choice to be the next champi-
Bischoff: Ahahaha, Randy, don't worry about that, we'll take care of that at The Great American Bash. And don't worry, you'll be a part of it.
Randy: Well thank you Eric, and let me say I am pleased to be working for you.
Bischoff: Well thank you for that Randy, but I must be going to get ready for the next pick, so I'll see you later.
