Cesaro. I am King of Strong Style. He is King of Swing. I think we have great match. And Roman Reigns. He is challenge I'd enjoy facing very much

SOOL Championship Tournament 1st Round Match
Jay Brisco vs Sin Cara
RAW is WAR continues as the camera shows Renee Young standing alongside an all too familiar face in SOOL.
Renee Young: Thanks for your time, John. I just have to start by asking what’s been going on with you as of late? We haven’t seen much of you around here. We especially missed you at WrestleMania this year.
John Cena: Well that’s the thing. I haven’t been asked to be around here. I’m not being utilized at all. I’m definitely more than pissed off that I missed WrestleMania. I can’t believe it. I haven’t missed a WrestleMania before and to sit this one out simply bothers me to my core.
Renee Young: I could only imagine what that must feel like. Well John, why did you miss WrestleMania?
John Cena: Well it was a bunch of things that went down. Some that I take blame for and others that just happened and left me out in the cold. Firstly, I didn’t win the Royal Rumble, but hey that’s a crap shoot and I am at peace with my performance. Then I failed to win a triple threat match for the number one contendership as Steiner pinned Neville. Then Jericho and Shane completely overlook me for the RAW branded Money in the Bank for Mania. Then as if that wasn’t enough, I was going to put my fist down Neville’s throat once and for all and then that bozo goes and gets himself fired, let go or whatever as he put his foot where his mouth is as he lost to Balor and got himself exiled from Mania. So there ya have it, I had no options and wasn’t contacted for anything. There I was left out and I felt useless.
Renee Young: I don’t know what to say. I don’t know how Shane or Jericho could over look you like that. What brings you here tonight then?
John Cena: Well that in itself is why I’m here. Last week, the show after Mania, I found out that I wasn’t even invited to be in the house. I wanted to be there as supposedly Shane and Jericho are temporarily ousted from RAW, so I figured this was my chance to shine and take advantage of their absence and just get in the ring again. I’m ready to show up and my name wasn’t included in the show at all and I wasn’t allowed to even be there and here I thought the age of tyranny against me was over. I then find out about this new SOOL Championship tournament and low and behold… I’m not even a part of it. I had gotten a hold of the HR department and got the right to be here and for what? I’m not being included, not a match or an opportunity of any kind. I’m just beyond fed up right now.
Renee Young: That’s rather unfortunate. So then John, what’s your next move going to be?
John Cena: I simply don’t know. I realize now that I’m not wanted around here. There’s not much I can do. I never thought I’d be in this situation. I figured by now, I had already earned my place and proven myself time and time again… but I guess not. I’m not going to complain about it, but honestly I don’t think there’s anything I can do about it. I’m just going to deal with it when it comes I’ll own but as for now…I guess my time is up and it’s all gone.
Cena takes in a deep breath as he lowers his head and walks away from the camera as he isn’t sure what he’ll be doing next and where he’ll end up.
SOOL Championship Tournament 1st Round Match
Sting vs Seth Rollins
SOOL Championship Tournament 1st Round Match
Roman Reigns vs AJ Styles
Following the Superman Punch, Roman backs himself into the corner across the ring from Styles, he unleashes his loud scream as he sets up for his patented Spear. AJ slowly makes his way to his feet using the ropes for assistance. AJ stumbles around towards Reigns who charges at him full speed for the Spear, but Reigns ends up running shoulder first into the corner as AJ managed to roll out of the way at the last second. Reigns takes a few seconds to try and shake out the pain in his shoulder before turning his attention back towards Styles who catches him off guard with a Pele Kick.
Styles immediately hops back up to his feet using whatever adrenaline is left in his body and begins to pump up the crowd. He outstretches his arms and signals that it's time for the Styles Clash. However, just as he begins to move towards Reigns, an eerie theme begins to blast throughout the arena......
It's none other then "The Cleaner" Kenny Omega!, Kenny walks down the ramp with a cold and emotionless look on his face. He stops halfway down the ramp and stares directly into AJ Styles eyes before raising his right arm, directing a gun taunt at him, and pulling the trigger. At that exact moment Reigns comes up from behind Styles with a schoolboy roll up, but Styles rolls through in a manner that allows him to immediately position Reigns head between his legs and set up for the Styles Clash, but Roman uses all the brute force he has left to shove AJ off of him so hard that AJ rebounds off the ropes, Reigns cuts him in half on the rebound with the Spear. Reigns hooks the leg on Styles and gets the 3 count.
The fans unleash a swell of boo's as Roman's theme hits the pa system within the arena, they're absolutely disgusted with how this awesome match came to an end......
Roman's hand is raised by the ref and Kenny Omega enters the ring, he approaches Roman and the two men share an intense staredown for a few seconds before both men crack a smile, raise there hands, and "too sweet" each other in the center of the ring. Omega and Reigns stand over a defeated AJ Styles and point the guns at him as Raw heads into a commercial break.
*We head backstage where interviewer and announcer extraordinaire Raeshawn Spencer is scheduled to speak with the man who brutally beat Sami Zayn last week, CM Punk. As Raeshawn waits outside the private locker room door of CM Punk we hear a commotion and the sound of struggling from beyond the door, before long though its silence and a few seconds later Punk bursts out of the door ready to speak.*
[Raeshawn Spencer]
Punk, word has been stirring in the back that there may be some sort of legal ramifications for...
*Punk immediately cuts off Raeshawn and grabs the microphone from his hand.*
[CM Punk]
You know when I re-negotiated my contract recently and requested a private locker room far away from all the rest of the swine who lurk around this place I DID NOT request them to send the help to come interview me. I don't need to be asked questions, I don't need you to guide me, I just need you to deliver the microphone on a silver platter and be on your way, boy.
*Punk waves Raeshawn out of frame and turns his attention to the camera where the SOOL fans in the arena and around the world watch on.*
[CM Punk]
You know last week when I bashed in Sami Zayns ribs and pulverized his skull with this fist...
*Punk raises his fist, he's re-used the tape athletic tape from last week and the dried blood of Sami Zayn can be seen crusted on it.*
[CM Punk]
..a fire was lit inside of me. It felt good to run my mouth, it felt good to piss people off, and it felt good to nearly destroy a hero right before his loving supporters eyes. I have not skipped a beat. Sami Zayn, you are the sacrificial lamb in the rebirth of CM Punk. You see I have a hellbound heart and each drop of your blood spilled by my hands only serves to make me stronger and stronger. Tonight I must beat you to "earn" a opportunity at the Intercontinental Title you so desperately cling to. The way I see it, I should only need to beat you once and then I should be champion but I'll jump through the hoops. Tonight after my knee catches your skull and blood begins to pour from the wound I opened on your head last week, I'll once again use your blood as my warpaint. The crowd will watch on once again as their hero lays beneath my feet. And you Sami, you'll be staring up at the lights knowing its only a matter of time before I take that championship from your waist and you'll have nothing left but your stupid little hat, your memories of what once was, and the hopes of one day maybe living in a world without CM Punk.
*Punk begins to walk away from his private locker room as the camera follows him through the halls of the arena and towards the gorilla position, you can hear the excitement of the crowd building in the distant. As the camera follows Punk continues to speak.*
[CM Punk]
I consider myself an explorer in the further regions of experience. A demon to some, an angel to others. If you think you've gone to the limits, Sami. You haven't. I am about to give you an experience beyond limits. Pain and pleasure, indivisible. I have such sights to show you, Sami!
*Punk reaches gorilla position and stops at the current focusing his attention on the camera once more.*
[CM Punk]
There will be no need to mourn your precious hero, he was dead long before I ever touched him. NOW PLAY MY FUCKING MUSIC!
*Punk tosses the mic aside and bursts through the curtain as he makes his way to the ring.*
Singles Match
If Punk wins, he becomes the #1 contender to the Intercontinental Championship
