Buffalo, New York!
Raw kicks off in Buffalo, New York with a firework display.
.:Raeshawn Spencer:.
WELCOME EVERYONE TO MONDAY NIGHT RAW! We are here in Buffalo, New York! We have a good show for you tonight! My partner in crime as always is Michael Santana! How are you doing man?
.:Michael Santana:.
I am doing great! Rumors have been running around that HBK sold SOOL. I was actually quite stunned when I heard the news for the sake of everyone I hope they sold it to someone who will take this company into a good direction...
A recognizable man steps out onto the stage.
.:Raeshawn Spencer:.
WHAT?! IS IT?! IT IS!
.:Michael Santana:.
IT'S HARMON! HE BOUGHT SOOL!
The fans in the building are shocked. Harmon doesn't look to happy making his way down the ramp.
.:Raeshawn Spencer:.
He doesn't look happy at all...
Harmon gets into the ring, and is handed a microphone from the ref. Harmon nods at the ref, and says thank you. Harmon looks around the arena for moment then he raises the microphone up to his lips, and begins to speak.
.:Josh Harmon:.
Hello everyone, and welcome to Monday Night Raw!
Harmon pauses for a moment as the fans cheer. He smiles slightly, and begins speaking once again.
.:Josh Harmon:.
The rumors are true. Shawn Michaels has retired from SOOL, and sold his company. I simply was not gonna let this company fall into the wrong hands, and let this place fade away into dust. I love working for here. I was first hired on by Shane McMahon being his assistant. In my time in working here Shawn, and I become good friends. I knew it was only a matter of time before that old man wanted out.. He saw his company crumbling right before his very eyes, and sold it before this company hit rock bottom. No pun intended... but I still see the potential within this company. We can take SOOL to an all time high, but it has come to my attention we have lazy talent here on Raw. Most of them don't show up for their matches. Which causes the show to lack luster.
Harmon grits his teeth together in anger.
.:Josh Harmon:.
And that pisses me off. Then these people go on, and complain about not getting title matches. There are no handouts on MY show. If you want something you gotta earn it. I don't even care if your a returning legend. Like C M Punk for example. He came back to this company last November, and was automatically put into a number one contender match for a chance to fight for the SOOL title without proving himself, and that made me sick to my stomach. After Wrestlemania to the people who never show up will stop being book, and wished the best on their future endeavors. They hold the show down to prevent it from getting better.
Harmon's hands grows into a fist, and he clinches it really hard.
.:Josh Harmon:.
Smackdown absolutely kills Raw in ratings each and every single week. So I believe it is time for some personnel changes. At this moment in time Shane McMahon is suspended until further notice. Next up John Laurinaitis, could you please come out here.
A moment passes by, and....
John Laurinaitis steps out onto the stage with a mic in hand.
.:John Laurinaitis:.
Hi uhh... Mr. Harmon. What did you wanna see me about?
.:Josh Harmon:.
Plain, and simple John. YOUR FIRED!
The SOOL universe erupts with cheers. As John Laurinaitis begins to look sad. He slowly turns around, and walks backstage.
.:Josh Harmon:.
You don't know how to run a company. You've only booked one good match in your time of being here, and that match is taking place this Sunday at Wrestlemania. Sami Zayn vs Kenny Omega vs The Miz vs Christian inside of a Hell in a Cell. The new Raw GM will be introduced at the Raw following Wrestlemania. Now speaking of things after Wrestlemania there will be great opportunities for all the superstars here on Raw to take part in. I wanna see this show thrive once. I wanna see the fire in all the superstars eyes in the back like I saw before when I first started working here. Trust me when I say this Raw is going to be a better place after Mania. I grantee it. I want to see what everyone in the locker room is made out of. We all will find out who the top dogs really are, and I can't wait to see each and every single one of you tear each other apart to define your destiny. Who will have what it takes to take on the SOOL champion after Wrestlemania? I guess we will just have to wait, and find out won't we?
Harmon smiles, and starts to laugh.
.:Josh Harmon:.
I hope you all enjoy the show tonight... Have a goodnight!
Harmon's music begins playing once again as he gets out of the ring. The camera fades to a commercial break.
Renee Young welcomes the SOOL universe with a smile, and begins speaking
.:Renee Young:.
Everyone please welcome my guest this time, AJ Styles!
AJ steps into view with a smirk on his face.
.:Renee Young:.
Last week AJ you had what is described an incredible one on one match with the SOOL Champion, Finn Balor. You defiantly put your name near the top guys on Raw after proving yourself against Balor. Now tonight is a new challenge where you will go fight Roman Reigns. What are your thoughts going into this match?
AJ takes a moment
.:AJ Styles:.
Tonight is just another night to me Renee. Roman Reigns is strong yes, but he lacks one thing. Charisma. Which I am full of. The connection with the crowd is what I thrive for. I feed off of the energy they give out. I do the best I can to give it right back at them.
The fans cheers are very audible, and Styles smiles as he hears the fans
.:AJ Styles:.
Roman the reason these people boo each and every single night is plain and simple you lack substance, and..
Styles stops talking, and the camera pans the way he's looking. It's Roman Reigns staring down AJ.
(Roman Reigns)
Go ahead.........finish your sentence......
(Roman Reigns)
What's the matter Styles, a bit hesitant to continue? sure looks like it to me....
(Roman Reigns)
You can stand back here in this cozy little interview set with this pretty lady and talk all the trash you want, but when it comes time for you to spew this garbage to my face like a man, you seem a bit hesitant....
(Roman Reigns)
Maybe, just maybe, the "Phenomenal One" is nothing more then the "Phenomenal chicken shit"....
(Roman Reigns)
Imma go out there tonight and show you just how much "substance" I've got in this fist, when I use it to knock you on your ass.... and I'm gonna prove that I don't need fans, I don't need charisma, and I certainly don't need to be "Phenomenal" to beat your ass.......
(Roman Reigns)
BELIEVE THAT!
As Roman walks away the camera moves back over to Styles who has a smile on his face
.:AJ Styles:.
Oh I have angered him. Maybe we will see what he can actually do tonight, but I won't get my hopes up...
Singles Match
Wade Barrett vs Pentagon Jr
Pentagon Jr makes his way to the ring, his ribs taped up from Reigns unprovoked attack last week.
He slowly gets into the ring, holding his side. He looks around and says a silent prayer as he waits for Wade Barret.
Wade Barret wins after 2 Bull Hammers and a Wasteland
We go backstage as we see Mr. Santana getting ready to interview someone.
Santana
Please welcome my guest at this time....Sami Zayn.
Zayn walks into frame
Santana
How do you feel about your three upcoming opponents that you're facing at Wrestlemania?
Zayn
Well, all of them are very talented individuals and I actually respect Miz and Christian but as for Omega? I don't respect him nor do I like him, I think he didn't do anything to deserve a shot at MY Championship and him making his empty threats that we all know he won't keep isn't really helping his case.
Sanata
This will be your very first match inside a Hell in a Cell, are you nervous?
Zayn
Of course I'm nervous have you ever seen one of those matches? Their brutal and barbaric, but thats ok. I will thrive inside the cell and I will walk out Champ.
Zayn walks off.
Singles Match
AJ Styles vs Roman Reigns
Non-Title Extreme Rules Match
SOOL Champion, Finn Balor vs Adrian Neville
When the match is over the arena is quite. The camera pans the arena showing shocked fans. Adrian Neville gets up to his feet, and slowly raises his head. He looks around the arena as the fans begin to cheer as they know this is the last time they will see Adrian Neville for a long time. "Thank you" chants begin to sound out through the arena. Tears begin to roll down the face of Adrian. His dream has been crushed by what he believed was his best friend. He slowly gets to his feet, and takes that last walk up the ramp. As he stands at the top of the ramp facing the exit he stop walking. The fans cheering has still not come to an end. He takes in a deep breath, and quickly turns around to do his signature pose to close out the show.
END OF SHOW.
Longest Reign: 154 Days
