Episode #1: Revelations and Consequences
*Burn it to the Ground*
The fireworks go off in the arena as the RAW theme song is played and a video package highlighting Nexus victory over WWE and the return of Daniel Bryan is shown!
Michael Cole: Welcome to Monday Night RAW ladies and gentlemen! Im Michael Cole alongside Jerry the King Lawler and we are live from the Staples Centre in Los Angeles.
King: Last night in this same arena, we may have as well witnessed the collapse of the WWE! The Nexus defeated Team WWE after The Miz declined joining their team and they had to go into the match one man short. Then Miz attacked John Cena and crushed Team WWEs hopes of even winning the match
Michael Cole: Im sure Miz has a reasonable explanation for his actions but his chance to explain them were destroyed by a returning Daniel Bryan, who shouldnt even be employed around here. He was a part of Nexus for gods sake.
King: Hey, Daniel Bryan made the United States Champion and Money in the Bank winner tap out last night. Miz deserved it! I cant imagine what the RAW roster is going to do to him tonight!!
*We are One*
The 7 members of Nexus make their way out of the curtains and start heading for the ring, with some big smiles on their faces!
King: Speaking of the Nexus...
Michael Cole: There you have it King! Miz is not even coming down the ring with them. Im sure its just a misunderstanding and what happened last night was all because he was threathened by Nexus.
King: Yea sure! Thats exactly why he did it! Come on Michael?!
Wade Barret gets a mic from Justin Roberts.
Wade Barret: Ladies and gentlemen, I want to introduce you to the 7 men who will be dominating Monday Night RAW from here on out! Last night we defeated a pitiful excuse of a team which couldnt even stay on the same page for one night to try and be victorious. We would also like to offer a special thank you to the United States Champion the Miz, who has been helping us so much these past few months.
The crowd starts some heavy booing as the Nexus members couldnt help but smile even more!
*I Came to Play*
The Miz appears with his United States Championship and the Money in the Bank briefcase with a very happy look on his face!
King: Want to make another excuse now Michael?!
Michael Cole: This cant be happening!! Miz is with the Nexus?!!
The Miz: Thats right. I SCREWED THE WWE!!!! Let me explain why I did it. For months I had to sit back in the first season of NXT with the worst rookie one could ever have and all I would was Daniel Bryan chants. Daniel Bryan?!!! Really?!!! Really?!! Really?!! So when I heard that Nexus was planning something for RAW which could possibly put them in the spotlight, I decided to help them out, just so I could convince them to get Daniel Bryan out of the group. It worked. Do you know why it worked? Do you? Because Im the Miz....AND IM....AWESOME!!!
The crowd is really booing the Miz now and various different chants have started for the Miz which are definitely not on the positive side for him.
*E-mail recieved*
Michael Cole: Excuse me gentlemen, Ive recieved an e-mail from the General Manager...and I quote:
GM: Miz, last night you made a huge mistake when you attacked John Cena! Now it is time for you to face the consequences. Tonight, in the main event of RAW, you will face the man who made you tap out last night...Daniel Bryan!!! It will be a lumberjack match, with the entire RAW roster surrounding the ring.
The crowds cheer are deafining now as Miz cant believe what he just heard and is turning read!
GM: As for the rest of the Nexus, I can no longer sit back and watch them take over MY show! Tonight I will reveal myself in order to get control of the situation. Meanwhile, since Nexus won last night, they will be rewarded with a WWE Tag Team Championship Match! You must choose two members to fight now because that match is NEXT!!!
The crowd have started booing again while Miz is growing redder and redder and cant believe what he has to go through tonight. Meanwhile the Nexus huddle up to choose who will fight for the titles as he go to a commercial break!
*Commercial*
Michael Cole: Welcome back to Monday Night RAW live in the Staples Centre and Skip Sheffield along with Michael Tarver are ready to challenge for the WWE Tag Team Titles!
Justin Roberts: The following tag team match is scheduled for one fall and it is for the WWE Tag Team Championships. Introducing the challengers, representing Nexus, Skip Sheffield and Michael Tarver.
*New Foundation*
Justin Roberts: And their opponents, from Calgary, Alberta Canada, they are the WWE Tag Team Champions being accompanied by Natalya, The Hart Dynasty!!!
The Tag Team Champions make their way to the ring and do their usual entrance before handing the titles over to the referee. Tyson Kidd will start against Michael Tarver!
Match #1: WWE Tag Team Champions Hart Dynasty vs Skip Sheffield and Michael Tarver
Tyson Kidd and Michael Tarver circle each other before locking up with Tyson quickly locking Tarver in a head lock. Tarver pushes Tyson into the ropes and the referee forces Tyson to break up the hold. Michael Tarver nails Tyson with a cheap shot, which forces Tyson to get the ref out of the way and start kicking Tarver in the hamstring. After a couple of kicks to Tarvers legs, Tyson hits a big dropkick to Tarver, who immediately rushes to his corner and tags in Skip Sheffield. Sheffield gets into the ring and starts flexing his muscles. Tyson tags in David Hart Smith and the two powerhouses lock up, with Sheffield taking down Smith and stomping away on him to keep him grounded. After a couple of stomps, Sheffield gets Smith up and nails him with a snap suplex. Sheffiled quickly locks in a chokehold and Tyson starts rallying up the crowd who are in full support of the Hart Dynasty. Smith is able to get to his feet and starts hammering Sheffield with a series of elbows to the gut only to get hit with a T-bone suplex. Sheffield covers Smith. 1...2...Kick out! Sheffield tags in Tarver and Tarver starts stomping away with a little bit of trash talk. Tarver grabs Smith and charges him into the turnbuckle, hitting him with some shoulder blocks before climbing on top of him to start a classic series of punches. Hart suddenly grabs Tarver and powerbombs him to the middle of the ring and Tyson is going crazy. Smith is slowly stirring as Tarver is winching in pain with Sheffield begging for the tag. Both men make it to their respective tag partners and Tyson immediately takes control with a series of dropkicks which fail to get Sheffield off his feet. Tyson hits an enziguri which sends Sheffield to the outside. Tarver tries to take Tyson from behind but is anticipated and ends up on the outside next to his tag partner. Tyson climbs on top of Smiths shoulders and hits a flying clothesline to the outside, taking both men out as we go to another commercial break!
*Commercial*
As commercials end, Michael Tarver has Tyson in a bearhug and a replay shows Sheffield slamming Tysons back into the steel post during the break. As Tyson seems to be getting out of the bearhug, Tarver turns him over and hits a bodyslam before picking him back up and irish whips him into his corner. Tag is made to Sheffield and both men hit Tyson with a Double Suplex. Tyson is in a world of pain and Sheffield simply traps Tyson head on the bottom rope and starts choking the life out of him with his foot. Tyson is thrown back into the turnbuckle and another tag is made, with Tarver now hitting a very fast series of left and rights to Tysons gut before turning him over and putting him on top of the turnbuckle. As Tarver climbs up behind, Tyson starts hitting Tarver with a couple of elbows while also kicking away at Sheffield. Tarver is knocked off the turnbuckle and Sheffield falls off the apron. Tyson turns around and hits a missile dropkick to Tarver and the crowd is on their feet as Tyson crawls towards Smith. David Hart Smith gets the tag and enters the ring like a man on fire. He hits Tarver with a big clothesline, knocks Sheffield off the apron again, and then powerslams Tarver to the mat. Suddenly Darren Young runs down the ramp and starts arguing with the ref. Bret Hart comes down to a huge ovation and starts hammering away at Tarver. Amidst all the chaos, Sheffield recovers and hits Smith with a huge clothesline. Tarver crawls towards Smith and gets an arm over. 1...2...3!!! Tarver gets the 3 count while Sheffield goes down to held Darren Young.
Winners: Tarver and Sheffield via pinfall(13:14)
*We are One*
Justin Roberts: Here are your winners and the NEW WWE Tag Team Champions, Skip Sheffield and Michael Tarver.
Bret retreats to check on the members on the Hart Dynasty with Natalya while Young and Sheffield join Tarver in the ring for the celebration.
Michael Cole: Oh my god! We have new Tag Team Champions here! This is not good for the WWE.
King: The Nexus just proved once again how strong they are as a unit. Theyve got the Tag Titles now. What else can happen tonight?
Michael Cole: This is nothing!! Miz could lose the U.S title tonight. His chances of retaining are slim to none.
King: Are you seriously still a Miz fan after what we have learned?!!
Michael Cole: I certainly dont want to see a goofball like Daniel Bryan with the United States Championship!
King rolls his eyes as we are taken backstage with Todd Grisham!
Todd Grisham: Hello Ladies and Gentlemen, my guests at this time, The Rated R Superstar Edge and Chris Jericho.
The crowd automatically starts booing at the mention of the two men who turned on Cena last night.
Todd Grisham: Guys, why did you do what you did to John Cena last night?
Edge: Todd, sometimes you really do make the most interesting questions!
You see, me and Chris believe that we are the top stars here on Monday Night RAW. We stole the show at WrestleMania, going as far as outperforming Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker.
Chris Jericho: Despite these facts, we have to play second fiddle to a guy like John Cena. Meanwhile all these parasites here tonight and all those hypocrites watching at home suck it all in and accept it like the tools that they are. We dont care about Nexus. Actually I am quite proud of them because they are my creation.
Edge: If John Cena has a problem with what we did last night, he can face us like a man and someday he can prove to us why he is the top star and not us! Because by my calculations John, I have more World Titles than you; I beat you to end your first title reign and the last time we met...I WON!!
Edge pushed Todd out of the way as both men go down the hall.
Todd Grisham: We are going to commercials. Dont go away! We will be right back!
*Commercial*
Michael Cole: We are back ladies and gentlemen and it has been an interesting night thus far King.
King: Very interesting. The Nexus have the tag titles. I still cant get over this.
Michael Cole: Well, things can only get bigger! Tonight, the anonymous RAW GM will not remain so when he reveals himself later on tonight.
King: And we have just got word that John Cena will have an announcement to make later on tonight. I wonder what Cena is feeling right now.
Justin Roberts: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
*Radio*
Zack Ryder comes out to his usual reception of boos and a cocky strut down to the ring.
Justin Roberts: Introducing first, from Long Island New York, Zack Ryder!!!
*Whats up*
The crowd erupt as R-Truth comes out singing his rap and asking whats up. He gets into the ring and stares at the crowd.
R-Truth: Los Angeles...Wha....
Zack Ryder grabs the mic from Truth hand and, with a very cocky smiles, puts it to his mouth!
Zack Ryder: Woo!! Woo!! Woo!! You know it!!!
Some heavy boos have started for Ryder now!
Match #2: Zack Ryder vs R-Truth
Truth goes to lock up but Ryder quickly hits him in the face with a right. Ryder then follows up with a kick to the gut before launching Truth into the ropes and ducking to get ready for a back toss. Truth stops himself and kicks Ryder in the skull before hitting him with a couple of rights and then an inverted suplex. Truth now has the advantage as he launches Ryder into the ropes and takes Ryder down with an arm drag which he then follows up with an armbar. Ryder is in trouble as he tries to get out of the armbar. Ryder is finally able to counter Truth by getting his arm free and locking Truths head into a leg scissors. Truth quickly gets free and starts hammering Ryder with even more kicks and punches once again taking Ryder down. Truth goes up to the turnbuckle only for Ryder to follow him up and attempt a superplex. Truth is able to counter and hit an inverted suplex of the turnbuckle himself. Truth feels the momentum building and goes for a Scissor Kick to an awakening Ryder. Ryder counters and tries to hit the Ruff Ryder. Truth counters again and goes for the Lie Detector. Ryder ducks and Truth crashes to the mat. Ryder takes advantage and hits the Zack Attack. Ryder pins Truth 1...2...3!!!
Zack Ryder defeats R-Truth(5:47)
*Radio*
Justin Roberts: Here is your winner...Zack Ryder!!!
Ryder looks extremely happy with the win, almost amazed he actually won!
King: Thats has to be a big win for Ryder, beating one of the 6 men who competed against Nexus last night!
Michael Cole: This could launch Ryder into the U.S title picture. Remember R-Truth is a former United States Champion.
King: You got that right! But right now, I think we better get ready! John Cena is set to make his announcement!!
Michael Cole: I wonder what is on John Cenas mind after he was taken out by the Miz last night.
Justin Roberts: Please welcome John Cena!!!!
*My Time is Now*
The crowd erupts as Cenas theme music hits the speakers! However as the music plays on, John Cena is nowhere in sight.
Michael Cole: Is Cena coming out here or what?
King: Michael, were getting word of a commotion backstage.
The camera switches to the RAW locker room where John Cena is hitting Edge across the back with a steel chair. Jericho tries to intervene however Cena quickly turns around and hits Jericho in the gut before getting him up on his shoulders and hitting an Attitude Adjustement on to the same chair. Officials try to get Cena away from both men, however he tosses them aside and starts hitting Edge with his bare knuckles square in the jaw. Evan Bourne runs into the locker and tries to calm Cena down, but Cena instead hits Bourne with a low blow before hitting another Attitude Adjustement. There is chaos until Mark Henry and Khali finally grab Cena and throw him out of the locker room as the trainers attend to the three injured men.
Michael Cole: Has Cena gone crazy here? Ive never seen that side of him before.
King: I dont know what is going on but that loss last night must have really did a number on him.
Michael Cole: Well ladies and gentlemen, the show must go on as we have Divas action next here live on RAW!
