5-time XBPW Heavyweight Champion
RAW live from San Diego, California.
- RAW opens up with Alberto Del Rio claiming that San Diego would be a great city if they didnt cheer for guys like Rey Mysterio & John Cena. Del Rio says that Rey is a little Chihuahua & Cena is a cheater. Del Rio says that he was cheated out of the Undisputed WWE Championship last week on RAW in his rematch. Del Rio says that he wasnt ready & Cena knew that. Del Rio says that he will be the champion again & he proceeds to call out John Cena. Del Rio tells Cena to come out to the ring & be a man & defend the title against him in a match right now. Suddenly the arena goes dark
Triple Hs music plays & his entrance video & lights go off through the arena. The crowd waits 30 or more seconds & still no sign of The Game. Triple Hs music stops. Del Rio looks confused & the crowd starts to boo intensly. The arena goes dark again but this time its Hulk Hogans old music playing, but it stops immediately. Del Rio says hes had enough of these games & knows Cena is behind all of this. Del Rio tells Cena to get out here or he will go backstage & find him. The arena goes dark again & this time its Cenas music playing. Cena comes down to the ring & confronts Del Rio. Cena says that Del Rio needs to listen up & listen good because he isnt the one screwing around with the Titantron & the music. Cena says that he is a WWE Superstar & not a technical guy or an authority figure. Cena says he is here to wrestle, not DJ to the crowd. Cena says that Del Rio needs to go talk to the sound guys, not him. Cena wants to know who is screwing around here too. Alberot Del Rio goes to say something but his mic is cut off. Cena tries too, but his mic is cut off as well. The video on the Titantron switches from Cena & Del Rio in the ring to somebody unplugging wires & messing with equipment. Two of the audio guys are seen laying on the ground, presumably unconscious. The arena goes dark again & when it goes back to the lighting, Eric Bischoffs music starts playing & holy crap its Eric Bischoff, E.B. is here on RAW!? Eric steps in the ring & congratulates Cena on retaining the title twice against Del Rio. Eric then says thank you to the mystery man for cutting off Del Rios mic. E.B. says that he didnt mean for Cenas to be cut off but sometimes good people make mistakes. Cenas mic is back on & says that Eric is full of crap. Cena knows that his company went bankrupt weeks ago & knows E.B. is here to try to ruin another company. Cena says he killed WCW, he got fired from WWE because he was trying to kill RAW & now him & Hogan killed that company down south. E.B. says that Cena needs to calm down & that he can mention it, TNA. E.B. tells Cena to say it with him, T-N-A. T-N-A. Cena says he doesnt care if its WCW, TNA or Bischoff Incorporated, but he will not have Eric here trying to kill another company. E.B. says that Triple H hired him & some of the TNA guys here to WWE & that since Stephanie McMahon was taken out in the middle of the Mark Henry attack, that HHH appointed him the role of RAW G.M. Cena says if Eric is here as RAW G.M., then hes quitting the WWE, because he wont be a part of a dying company. Cena drops his belt in the middle of the ring & heads up the ramp. CM Punks music plays & Punk stops Cena at the top of the ramp. Punk says that Cena is right & if Bischoff is here running things, then he & Cena will go & take their talent to someplace else such as TNA or New Japan. Cena says that he is a fan of those companies & believes he & Punk could be tag team champions. Punk says that Kevin Nash & Sting walked out of TNA after E.B. was put in charge & now he & Cena are too. Cena & Punk drop their mics & walk to the back.

RVD says that hes worked in ECW & WWE in the past, but hes never worked for WCW. RVD says that hes glad he never worked in WCW & is ashamed that he stayed in TNA under Bischoffs management. RVD says that while guys like Rey Mysterio, Chris Jericho & Eddie Guerrero became icons & legends in the WWE, not everybody from WCW made it far because Bischoff killed WCW & he killed TNA. RVD says that ECW folded because of other reasons, but nobody killed ECW, ECW had a cult following & Paul Heyman knew more than Bischoff ever will. Bischoff says that he didnt kill anything. Bischoff tells RVD that TNA went bankrupt because he tried to pay the talent there big money so they could wrestle for the fans all over the world. Bischoff says he was only trying to make the wrestlers there happy with their position, so he paid them big money. RVD tells Bischoff that just because Triple H bought TNA & that Bischoff is in charge, he isnt going to stoop to Bischoff & his chronies level. RVD tells Bischoff that TNA is dead & that hes a proud WWE Superstar. RVD says that he was a part of the original ECW/WCW Invasion back in 2001 & he knows how these things work & knows how Bischoff is.

RVD says that while guys like Rey Mysterio, Chris Jericho & Eddie Guerrero became icons & legends in the WWE, not everybody from WCW made it far because Bischoff killed WCW & he killed TNA. RVD says that ECW folded because of other reasons, but nobody killed ECW, ECW had a cult following & Paul Heyman knew more than Bischoff ever will. Bischoff says that he didnt kill anything.
