RAW this week starts with a video replay of Vince’s accident last week.
Shane is on the screen, out back talking about Vince’s accident. He might be the chairman but he’s also a private person, so they won’t talk about his condition. He asks the wrestlers, trainers, refs, etc to pull together in this time of uncertainty.
Music and pyro.
JR’s music and he comes out to the stage. He holds his hat high to the huge pop he gets. King is talking about sitting with Cole but watching JR come out to give his farewell speech. JR gets in the ring and raises his hat to the fans again.
He grabs a mic and has to wait for the fans to quiet down. “JR” chants. He seems a bit choked up. He says it’s an honor to be there in that ring tonight. He says it’s damn sure good to be home. He’s excited about his new journey on SD! – this gets huge heat. He says he hopes that as they have in all the years since he started on RAW, that we’ll join him on his journey. He’s going to raise hell on SD! and taking it to where it’s never been before. It’s an honor to work with Foley. For over a decade his traveling companion, his driver, his friend, his older brother – King – thank you. Going into the HOF with him made it that much more special. He knows Cole will do a great job on RAW – heat. Cole’s always been in his corner and his friend. He wants the fans to give him the respect they gave JR. The first time he saw wrestling live at the Stockyards. Some nights involved the fallen chairman, Vince. He’s not one to throw salt in someone’s wounds when they’re down, but he’s most likely a Longhorns fan. But he can’t help himself.
He’s so happy to be surrounded by his friends, family and fans. In closing he hopes they’ll load the wagon, get on the Sooner Scooter and ride it to SD! It’s great to be home and on RAW. He’s excited about his great adventure. He wants people to eat a little more BBQ, but is then cut off my Edge and his Edgeheads coming out.
Edge and his cronies get in the ring with JR. The fans are not happy and yell, “You suck” chants.
Edge says he had to make an appearance at JR’s farewell because his arrogance never ceases to amaze Edge. Who thinks anyone cares about JR or the Sooners, his relationship with King or Cole and never did. He calls JR BBQ Boy. See, now JR can truly start his HOF career on SD! calling Edge’s future HOF career. Instead of ‘Stone Cold, Stone Cold, Stone Cold’ it will be ‘Edge Wins, Edge Wins, Edge Wins’.
JR drops the mic in refusal. Edge comments on JR finally being speechless. He has the Edgehead escort JR from the ring area. The fans are pissed. JR walks out with his head held high.
Edge says he did have an ulterior motive. This flagship Show is missing a few things, like a GM. His Show has the best GM in history, the love of his life, Vickie. She’s resting comfortably, thanks for asking. This Show is also missing Taker. Then again the whole WWE universe is missing Taker since he banished him. One other thing the Show’s missing is a World Champion. Cena, HBK, Batista, Y2J and the others will never have a shot at his title. They can challenge HHH, but never Edge. Unless it’s a draft Show, we’ll never see Edge on Monday nights again. The fans really seem to like that.
Edge leaves the ring. He basks in the heat. He backs up the ramp. When he gets to the stage Batista’s music hits. Edge turns to see Batista and runs. Batista chases him. Edge trips at the side of the ring and Batista catches him. Batista beats the hell out of Edge. Edge is slammed into a ring post then tries to escape through the crowd. Batista pursues and beats on Edge some more. Back in the ring area Edge is slammed hard into the announce table a couple times. Edge is then slammed into the stairs so hard they break loose and fly.
In the ring Batista hits a Batista-bomb. Batista stands over Edge and glares for a moment before leaving the ring and going up the ramp. He gets to the stage and Punk’s music hits. Punk has his briefcase and a ref. Edge is trying to crawl from the ring but doesn’t get far.
The bell rings and Punk grabs Edge from behind and lifts him high. Punk hits his GTS finisher on Edge and covers for three.

Mickie takes Jillian down. Jillian leaves the ring. Mickie hits head scissors from hanging on the ropes outside the ring. Back in the ring Jillian kicks Mickie’s knee and takes her down in a corner. Jillian goes after Mickie’s shoulder that was injured last night at NOC. Jillian slams Mickie down and tries to slam into Mickie but Mickie moves.

Rey comes out to the ring. Rey poses on corners in the ring. He has a mic. Rey says he wants to congratulate Punk and bringing back the World Heavy Weight Championship to RAW. Up until last week his entire life was SD! He was shocked when he was drafter to RAW. It was a good thing though. Now that he’s here he likes it, he’s excited.
Santino’s music cuts Rey off. Santino comes out to the ring. Santino says Shane said to pull together and act as one, so he’s here to welcome Rey. He doesn’t see what the big deal is. A man who hides behind a mask is incredibly ugly, incredibly stupid or Batman. And Rey is not Batman. He doesn’t under Rey’s popularity. He doesn’t like Rey on the cover of WWE Magazine. The problem he has with the cover is that Santino submitted a photo himself but it was not selected. On the tron is a picture of Santino in skivvies, on a bed with a pink rose. If it was a poster everyone would have one on their walls. Rey’s on RAW because all superstars shine. Rey should stay quiet or it will be very bad for him. If Rey has something he will allow Rey to speak, but say it in a language we will all understand.
Rey says that he will if he insists. Rey hits Santino with the mic and then beats on him. Rey hangs Santino up in the ropes and his a 619. The fans love it.

Cena’s music and he comes bouncing out. Cena grabs a mic and has to wait for the women and children to quiet down. Some heat from the men. He told us all that his match with HHH would be a classic moment. He did not win the match, but it’s a loss he takes with pride. Last night’s match proved one thing, that they’re the best in the business and it will go down in history. Just like tonight is a touch of history. Years from now they will be able to look back and say they were there when Punk won the title. He’s not happy about JBL bullying his way into a title match. Cena likes this kid, he’s got guts and brains. It could have been anyone, including Cena and Punk would have said yes. Actually, he thinks it’s a good idea that he should go after a title shot. Punk should be the one to choose who he faces. He knows Punk just won, he’s going to give him some help with the largest crowd every assembled in Oklahoma City.
He asks if they think JBL should have a title shot – the fans give huge heat. He then asks about himself facing Punk for the title and the fans go wild. He tells Punk the choice is his. He tells JBL he should take his limo, his longhorns, his Mamajuana and drive it back to…
JBL’s music cuts him off. JBL comes out to the stage to huge heat. “You suck” chants. JBL says Cena will not be wrestling Punk tonight for the title, it’s his. As of right now JBL is declaring martial law on RAW. He’s going to become Champion tonight which is his God given destiny, but he can’t have Cena in the building. A bunch of security comes out. He says this is not WWE security, this is JBL’s bought security. People rule things with money and with Vince gone that means JBL is running things around here. He’s going to become Champion tonight. He tells security to show Cena the door.
Security heads for the ring with JBL behind them. Cena takes of his shirt as they surround the ring. JBL motions and they all rush in and he tries to fight back.

He took that advice and applied that advice and where did it get him? He had to carry Bob on his back. He couldn’t focus on his own career. So why wouldn’t he seek out Ted? Why not offer him a partner that’s just like him. Cody says he’s not a patient person. When you’re this talented, you don’t pay dues.
Ted takes the mic and says people of their generation don’t have the spine to do what they do. They upload a video on YouTube or Show at Hot Topic. Anyone under 30 are just sheep. Unlike everyone else it makes them – priceless.
