Report By: Richard Trionfo of PWInsider.com
WWE RAW Opener:
We start off with John Cena coming to the ring. Cena says that the applause is what he loves about the business. He says that it is what it is worth. From the fat guy who says that he sucks to the woman with the shirt two sizes too small to Wade Boggs. He says that it is intense. It is a little bit louder tonight. After six weeks of getting his ass beat, finally the seven foot five four-hundred fifty pound Punjabi Frankenstein has been told ‘F-U’. His life has been a living hell for the past six weeks, but he thought it would be okay. That was until the draft. John Cena reminds us that he was drafted from Smackdown to Raw. He did a lot of things in his life but after the night that he had last night, if he is drafted to Smackdown or ECW and tonight is his last time in the ring for Monday Night Raw, he wants to take one second to take it all in. If this is how it comes to an end, for one last time let it be said loud and proud..the champ is...Interrupted by Vince McMahon as he comes out to the ring very gingerly. Vince enters the ring and he has a mic as well. Vince says that he knows why Cena is here. He says that Cena is here to embarrass and humiliate him. Is Cena out here to remind the fans that Vince is no longer a champion? He asks Cena if he is here to rub his nose in the dirt and then he says that he will not let Cena do that. Vince says that he is not going to bend or bow or break. He reminds us that his name is Vincent Kennedy...John Cena turns his back on Vince before he can get out his last name. Cena says that he is going to tell himself that Vince is just very tired, beat up, and upset that he lost his title last night. Cena is going to tell himself that Vince might be a little emotional and a little bit delusional. Vince and Cena stare each other down and Vince starts to repeat his name before Cena turns his back again. Cena tells Vince that he had a rough night and the only thing keeping Vince alive is his patience. Cena tells Vince to suck it up. He says that Vince is babbling like he lost his freaking mind. Vince calls Cena a liar. Vince says that he hasn’t lost a damn thing. He says that he has not lost his empire, his money, or his dignity as a human being. Vince gives a maniacal smile and he says that the only thing he lost is his world title. Vince looks at Cena’s title and he says that is exactly what Cena is going to do tonight. Vince says that if Cena wants to humiliate or belittle him, Cena will defend the title tonight in a Triple Threat Match. John Cena will face Umaga and The Great Khali. Vince leaves the ring and we go to commercial.
