Event: Monday, March 14th, 2016
Nashville, Tennessee!
*RAW is WAR begins with both general managers of RAW is WAR, Chris Jericho and Shane McMahon standing in the ring. The ring is set up for another edition of Chris Jericho’s Highlight Reel. Jericho and Shane are discussing things amongst themselves until Jericho then begins to address the RAW crowd.*
Chris Jericho: Welcome everyone to RAW is Jericho and we have here tonight another exciting edition of the Highlight Reel for you all. Shane-O-Mac is here with me tonight because tonight is going to be a big night for RAW and he is here so that we can make the official announcement for WrestleMania. Tell em’ Shane.
Shane McMahon: Thank you, Chris and you’re right. Tonight is a big night for RAW. We’re here tonight to officially announce the RAW is WAR marquee main event for WrestleMania. This is going to be the match that everyone will be watching at WrestleMania. Not that nut cluster of a World title match that Stephanie is brewing on Smackdown. I mean come on, The Rock won the Rumble, chose to compete against Dean Ambrose for the World title and his match gets bamboozled with other superstars. It’s a down right slap in the face to the legacy of the Royal Rumble and it’s just the right opportunity for RAW to pull ahead and overshadow Smackdown on the biggest stage that SOOL has to offer.
Chris Jericho:You damn right about that, Shane. Smackdown thinks that they have all the momentum right now, but I’m confident that RAW will win the WAR at WrestleMania. As Shane said, tonight we are officially announcing the SOOL Championship match that will take place at WrestleMania Seven! So, please welcome the first guest of the evening and the new number one contender for the SOOL Championship, Big Poppa Pump, Scott Steiner!
*Big Poppa Pump comes out from the back with a few of his freaks alongside him. Big Poppa Pump looks quite chill and confident. Steiner and his freaks enter the ring as Shane McMahon shakes Scott’s hand as Shane has the WrestleMania contract in his hand.*
Chris Jericho: Welcome to the Highlight Reel, Scott. Please, allow us both to congratulate you on your big win in last week’s triple threat match. Honestly speaking, I’m just glad that John Cena didn’t win. I mean last thing we need is Cena gloating around here talking about main eventing WresltMania again. I mean I hear that he’s still bragging about how he screwed me over at WrestleMania Two. Anyways, enough about him, let’s talk about you. Scott, I remember back at the Royal Rumble when we spoke and I told you that good things would come to you. You’ve been on a roll and you earned this one without any doubt. I told you that I would take care of you aand get you the opportunites that you deserved and here you are, main eventing WrestleMania. How do you feel about what you’ve earned, Big Poppa?
Scott Steiner: I know what I deserved and earned. See as you know Jericho I originally wanted to go after that pencil neck Intercontinental champion Sami Zayn. But then me and my freaks realized that I can go for the SOOL championship. Then at Bragging Rights when all of team Raw got eliminated in the first round but me, I realized that I am definitely top 3 on Raw. Then I got my #1 contenders match in a triple threat against a midget that I kicked his ass a couple weeks ago and a wanna be genetic freak in John Cena. So when you ask me how I feel about what I’ve earned, I got to say it took a while, but me and my freaks are glad to see that I’m the man that will be main eventing Wrestlemania.
Shane McMahon: Very glad to hear that, Scott. I feel like you've earned it and no one is more deserving than you right now. This is going to be great as RAW puts on a main event for the ages. This match will go down in the history as it will indeed be the very first SOOL Championship match at WrestleMania. I'm very excited for it and I can't wait to see how it all unfolds.
Chris Jericho: Very well said, Shane-O. Scott, you stepped up big time last week and now all eyes are going to be on you. Now as you mentioned, you decided not to pursue the Intercontinental Championship and now you've earned a SOOL Championship match. However, tonight I booked you against the current Intercontinental Champion, Sami Zayn in a non-title match. I think we all wanted to see if you not only could have become the new Intercontinental Champion, but to see if you really can prove that you are at the main event caliber worthy of pursuing the SOOL Championship at WrestleMania. What are your thoughts going into your match tonight with Sami Zayn?
Scott Steiner: See it doesn’t matter what my thoughts are going into that match against Sami Zayn tonight because that pencil neck doesn’t stand a chance against me, the genetic freak. I kicked his ass before and I’ll kick it again tonight. In fact Chris, I guarantee I will give Sami Zayn the worst defeat of his career. But enough about that jabroni. I came out here to sign the contract for the Main Event of Wrestlemania.
Shane McMahon: Damn, Scott. That confidence is just radiating off of you. I am truly digging it. I hope you make a statement tonight against Sami, because I'm sure your WrestleMania opponent won't mind. Chris, I hope you don't mind but I'd like to go ahead and get right to it and introduce everyone here tonight to Steiner's WrestleMania opponent right now. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Highlight Reel, the reigning, defending, SOOL Champion, Finn Balor!
*RAW's Demon rises up and enters the arena with the SOOL Championship around his waist. Balor doesn't look intimidated at all whatsoever as he creepishly makes his way down to the ring. Balor enters the ring and instantly stands across from Steiner.*
Chris Jericho: Welcome to the Highlight Reel, Mr. Balor. You know to the best of my knowledge, this is the first official time that you and I have met. Nice to meet you.
*Jericho extends his left hand to shake Balor's hand. However, Balor simply glances at Jericho's hand. Balor chooses to shake his hand and then sets his eyes back onto Steiner Jericho then speaks again.*
Chris Jericho: Glad to have you on the show. You know Balor, I think you're onto something. Let's see... Balor, is there anything you want to say about your title defense against Steiner tonight?
{Balor}
This may be the biggest...anti climatic moment in my life. So you mean to tell me, my first mainevent at Wrestlemania, The FIRST mainevent involving the SOOL Championship at Wrestlemania and it's against Scott Steiner? Psh, No wonder we lost to Smackdown at Bragging Rights,
Chris Jericho and Shane look like they take offense but Balor waves them off
{Balor}
I kid I kid. Don't be so serious you too, I sure know I won't be too serious when it comes to Steiner. I have no plans on ruffling your feathers here on Raw Jericho and Shane. And one great champ *Balor points to himself* to another great champ *Balor points to Jericho* I think you understand what it's like to have a challenge in front of you that you're just...lukewarm about. No "Disrespect" to you Steiner but you've done nothing to put me on notice. You beat some people. Well so have I you want a cookie for it? Ya come out here flexing those bullshit muscles that look they they're filled with silicone and insult MY war paint? Jericho or Shane, could we go get some fresh air because the hypocrisy is choking me here. Which is a funny choice of words since choking is what you'll also do in our match at mania!
Balor makes the choking sign with his hands around his neck
{Balor}
What I'm REALLY trying to say is what you are...you're nothing I've haven't seen. You're Ryback. You're Goldberg. You're Brock Lesnar. You're Mark Henry. You're every other meat head idiot that thinks because he has a size advantage he's just gonna come muscle his way through me but let me tell you something Steiner. I play this game of human chest better than anyone. And I mean ANY. ONE. And I've made a rep off breaking dreams and rib cages. You...are no different. Jericho, you're a smart man. As are you Shane. Surely both of you, like everyone in the back and in this arena KNOWS that at Wrestlemania, I'm gonna get the job done. Right?
Chris Jericho: I think that's a possibility. I'm definitely interested to see what happens. I know Steiner didn't win Bragging Rights, but he very well hold his own against Smackdown. I do understand your position though Balor, when I was dominating as the greatest Intercontinental Champion SOOL has ever seen; I constantly found myself with no opponent that was deserving of being in the ring with me. Hell even at WrestleMania, there was no one who deserved to share the spotlight with me and my Intercontinental Championship. Now you, Balor, you seem to have everything figured out and I don't have a problem with you. You're seemingly the perfect champion... Dare I say a corporate champion. What do you think Shane?
Shane McMahon: I agree, Chris. I don't doubt that one bit. I can recall the first time I spoke with Balor. I saw the fire and intensity in his eyes and all he was looking for was an opportunity to succeed and he told me that was all he needed and look at him now, standing here as the SOOL Champion heading into WrestleMania. However, let's get this show on the road. Scott, as the challenger will you please sign the contract first.
*Shane lays down the contract on the table in front of him and and hands Scott the pen. Scott directs one of his freaks over to glance at the contract. She looks it over briefly and then looks back at Big Poppa Pump and nods at him that it's okay to sign. Steiner signs his name on the dotted line and drops the pen on top of the page. Steiner then raises up the mic to his mouth as he stares right at Balor ready to address him for the first time.*
Scott Steiner: I need say no more. Cause me and my freaks know come Wrestlemania I’m going to kick your ass.
*Shane tilts his head as he knows Steiner is talking a big game right now. Shane then positions the contract over for the Champion to sign the contract as well.*
Chris Jericho: Those are might big words from the challenger. Well champ, it's on you. Sign away and if you feel the need to respond, the floor is all yours.
Balor smirks at Scott before signing his name
{Balor}
You need say no more because nothing you said has ever mattered Scott. At Wrestlemania I'm gonna prove once and for all two things. One, brain beats brawn every time. And two, I'm in a league of my own.
Balor suddenly lashes out with a smack that echos across the arena. Scott touches his face as if he can't believe what Balor just did. Balor begins to laugh before suddenly Scott has his hands around his neck. In a show of true strength Scott pulls Balor over the table. By this time Shane and Jericho vacate the ring. Balor tries to free himself from Scott's grasp to no avail. Finally, in what seems like a show of mercy Scott sets Balor down and just stares him down. Balor, shaken, slowly tries to back out of the ring but Steiner grabs Balor and in one fluid motion Belly to Belly's him through the table in the middle of the ring. Balor seems out as Steiner flexes over him before leaving the ring with his freaks. Shane and Jericho get back into the ring to check on Balor as Raw cuts to a break.
Triple Threat Match
Roman Reigns vs Adrian Neville vs Bad News Barrett
*John Cena is seen in the back as he’s looking around for Shane or Jericho as a cameraman approaches him.*
[Cameraman]
Hey John, do you have a moment to talk about…
*John Cena cuts him off.*
[John Cena]
Not tonight man. I’m sorry. I just have to focus and figure out my next move. Last week didn’t turn in my favor and now I want to speak with Shane or Jericho about getting an opportunity for Money in the Bank at WrestleMania.
[Cameraman]
Actually John, I’ve heard that Jericho has already filled all the slots for RAW’s Money in the Bank match.
[John Cena]
What? I didn’t hear of any qualifiers? Do you mean he just booked the match to his liking?
[Cameraman]
I think so. I believe the official match announcement will be made on SOOLwrestling.com later this week.
[John Cena]
Well damn, that sucks. I guess back to the drawing board. I hope that announcement has to do with me. Now where the Hell are these guys?
*Cena walks off as the camera now goes back to ringside for next scheduled match between Scott Steiner and Sami Zayn is set to take place.*
Non-Title Match
Intercontinental Champion, Sami Zayn vs Scott Steiner
Triple Threat Non-Tittle Match
SOOL Champion, Finn Balor vs Pentagon Jr vs Xavier Woods
As it is now time for the main event of the evening, Chris Jericho abruptly comes out with a microphone in his hand as he addresses the crowd.
Chris Jericho: Ladies and gentlemen, it is indeed time for the main event of the evening, but I have a quick announcement to make. Now unfortunately, Xavier Woods will not be able to compete in this match tonight due to unforeseen circumstances. However, you all will still be getting a triple threat match tonight. So allow me to introduce Woods’ replacement for this evening, and one of RAW’s newest superstars… AJ Styles!
The crowd in attendance gives quite the reaction to the announcement as SOOL’s phenomenal one, makes his first RAW appearance in a long time. AJ appears on stage and head nods at Jericho.
Jericho nods back and instructs AJ to go to the ring and make a statement. AJ looks around the arena with a smile upon his face taking in the atmosphere. His eyes then turn to the ring where the demon, and Pentagon Jr stand. He cracks his neck to the left, and then right. He begins walking down the ramp, and high fives the fans on his way down. He stops right before the ring, and takes a step back. The camera zooms in on him, and he looks into it then says.
.:AJ Styles:.
THIS IS WHERE I BELONG!
Styles jumps onto the apron, and quickly gets into the ring. Styles takes his spot in the ring, and awaits for the match to begin.
