Are you ready? Then stop
questioning your heart and join me because it is time for Monday Night RAW!!!
The show kicks off with tonight's RAW Guest Star, Chad Ochocinco! He is the
famed Wide Receiver who wears the number 85 on the Bengals NFL team based out
Ohio. He welcomes us to the season premiere of RAW. He also reminds us that
tonight is RAW Roulette!
The Miz's music hits and he makes his way out to the ring. He welcomes Ochocinco
as being a fellow Ohioan. The Miz says that have a lot in common. They were both
reality show stars, and both say whatever they feel like, because they can. But,
Miz pauses and says that they actually have nothing in common, because he is a
Champion.
Ochocinco corrects him, by pointing out the fact that the Bengals were the AFC
North Champions last year. Further, not just Chad, but his boy TO and the rest
of the Cincinnati Bengals will be going on to win the Superbowl this year.
The Miz takes a jab at Ochocinco and Terrell Owens as they both left before the
end of the half and were tweeting in the locker-room whilst their team tried for
a Hail Mary. Miz says that the 85 on his jersey represents the number of good
passes that Chad will drop this year. Or maybe, it represents the fact that
Carson Palmer moves like an 85 year old.
*GeneralMail Alert*
Enough talk, it's time to determine the Miz's match tonight. Spin the wheel.
Alicia Fox is in the back with the RAW Roulette board. It comes up for the Miz
as.... Submission match! His opponent?
*GeneralMail Alert*
The wheel determined the kind of match, but his opponent will be decided by Chad
Ochocinco!
Chad takes a moment to consider his options, and says that it is really simple.
Chad says that 85 represents the number of different ways that his opponent can
make him tap out. What better way to start a submission match then against
"Chad's boy", Daniel Bryan!!!

RAW Roulette: Non-Title Submission Match
The Miz v. Daniel Bryan
As we come back from commercial, the match is already underway. Bryan is kicking
Miz hard in the corner. Bryan goes for a running knee, but Miz ducks the move
and Daniel crashes hard. Miz locks up Daniel on the second rope gaining him a
moment of reprieve. Miz locks on a figure four, but it isn't long before Daniel
is able to reverse the hold. Bryan then quickly attempts to lock on the Labelle
Lock, but Miz makes his way free and slides outside of the ring.
On the outside, Alex Riley tries to convince his mentor to get back into the
ring. Miz is refusing and clutching his stomach. Miz grabs a mic and is
complaining about a hernia. Yes, a hernia. Miz says that he is pulling out of
the match due to injury. Justin Roberts tries to announce it is a victory for
Bryan, but Miz interrupts and says it is solely due to injury, thus not a
forfeit. Instead, Daniel Bryan will face his apprentice, Alex Riley.
Emergency Substitution
Daniel Bryan v. Alex Riley
Alex Riley comes into the ring very strong and is using his freshness to
overcome the tired Bryan. Riley goes for his overhead Boston Crab lock, but
Daniel is able to reverse into the Labelle Lock. The hold is locked on and Alex
has no choice but to tap!
Winner via Submission: Daniel Bryan
After the match, Miz has been miraculously healed, and thus runs into the ring.
He beats the hell out of Bryan, including a vicious curb stomp to the skull. The
Miz lays down the US Title and shoves it into the face of Bryan. He tells Bryan
that he will never be the US Champion. Miz lifts Daniel off the mat and is
looking for the Skull Crushing Finale. Daniel reverses into the Labelle Lock!
Miz is furiously tapping out on top of the US Title! These two will meet this
Sunday live on PPV as the US Championship is on the line.
In the back Jillian Hall is spinning the RAW Roulette wheel with Edge. She is
singing "You Spin Me Right Round Baby" as the wheel circulates. Edge joins in as
we head to commercial and await the result.
****Commercial****
Edge makes his way down to the ring, as we are informed that the match at
Sunday's PPV for the WWE Championship will now be a 5-Pack Challenge.
RAW Roulette: Body Slam Challenge
Edge v. Evan Bourne
First once to body slam his opponent wins. Edge tries to lift Bourne up, but
Bourne spins out of the move. Evan then tries to kick out the knees of Edge, but
is thrown into the corner. Bourne tries to vault Edge, but is caught in mid air.
Bourne grasps the top rope to keep from being thrown to the mat.
Bourne kicks Edge in the face with a vicious blow. Ultimately, it comes down
purely to the size advantage as Evan simply cannon lift Edge off of his feet.
Edge grabs Bourne and connects with a body slam, thus winning the contest.
Winner: Edge
After the match, Edge spears the soul out of Evan Bourne.
*GeneralMail Alert*
Because Edge took advantage of his opponent so blatantly after the match, he
must compete in a second body slam challenge. His opponent.... Mark Henry!
RAW Roulette: Body Slam Challenge
Edge v. Mark Henry
Edge attempts to lift up Henry, but finds himself flattened like a pancake to
the ground as the weight proves far too great. Mark Henry lifts Edge up off of
the mat, and connects with The World's Strongest Slam.
Winner: Mark Henry
After the match, Mark Henry tends to Evan Bourne on the outside of the ring
along with the WWE medics. The two celebrate the victory of Henry.

RAW Roulette: Song & Dance Match
Ted Dibiase & Maryse v. R-Truth & Eve
R-Truth sings his way down to the ring. We are informed of the historic
ramifications of this match, as it is the first ever song and dance match as a
result of a RAW Roulette. Justin Roberts looks like he is going to start
laughing while announcing this match.
R-Truth and Eve are first to go. They start playing his theme, but R-Truth says
no, they have already heard that one. So instead, we are treated to R-Truth's
rapping vocals on, "Time to Get Crunk". Eve spent the entire time dancing.
After the rap, Dibiase says that this entire thing is ridiculous. The fans don't
want to hear Truth rap. He should just forfeit, but he won't. Because Maryse
knows that he is full of surprises. Dibiase calls for a spotlight. Ted sings as
Maryse does a very artful dance interpretation of... "My Way" by Frank Sinatra.
The crowd starts a "You Suck" chant at the end of the song.
Dibiase & Maryse are so upset by the fan reaction, that they start to attack
R-Truth & Eve. At first they have the upper hand, but Eve is able to throw
Maryse to the outside of the ring. As a result, Dibiase is caught with a
spinning kick to the skull. After disposing of their foes, R-Truth & Eve once
again perform, "Time to Get Crunk". It appears as though it will be R-Truth's
new theme song.
William Regal is in the back with Ochocinco and the Bella Twins at the RAW
Roulette Wheel. It lands on a Trading Places Match. Regal asks what that could
possibly be, and Ochocinco explains that it is like switching attire with your
opponent, or wearing the jersey of your foe. Regal ask for the identity of his
opponent. Goldust walks into the shot holding a wig in his hand. He tells Regal
that he will probably need it. Regal looks disgusted as he walks off.
Sheamus walks into the shot and calls them a bunch of fools. Sheamus says that
Ochocinco must feel special for his role tonight. Ochocinco says that he does,
because the General Manager told him that if John Morrison beats Sheamus
tonight, then he will take Chris Jericho's spot in the Six-Pack Challenge.
(Apparently it is once again a Six-Pack Challenge).
Ochocinco says he has 85 reasons he doesn't want to ever see that red rooster
again.
****Commercial****
Edge is in the back pacing. Zack Ryder comes into the shot and asks what the
problem is with the General Manager. Ryder asks if perhaps Edge took his
girlfriend. Edge calls Ryder a tool and asks how he could have taken his
girlfriend if he doesn't even know the identity of the General Manager. Ryder is
offended by being called a tool, and says that he is going to lay the hammer
down. Edge just looks at him like he is crazy. Edge says that if he wins the
Title, he is going to do a hold out until the General Manager is identified.
Sheamus comes into the shot saying that he heard Edge saying he was going to win
the Championship. Sheamus tells him to dream on, and to watch what he does to
John Morrison in their match next.
We see a shot of the backstage area where John Morrison is warming up. He is at
first stretching, and then starts to break out into some pretty impressive
Parkour (free running).
****Commercial****
John Morrison v. Sheamus
If John Morrison wins this match, he will earn a spot in the Six-Pack challenge
at Night of Champions. Sheamus takes Morrison right to the corner and slams his
head on the turnbuckle. Morrison absorbs the blow and tries for a roll up.
Sheamus quickly kicks out.
Morrison is whipped into the ropes, slides under Sheamus, and connects with a
dropkick. Pin attempt, but Sheamus kicks out. Sheamus throws Morrison outside of
the ring. John slides back into the ring, and Sheamus slides out. Morrison
attempts a reverse suicide dive into a hurricarana on Sheamus. It isn't pretty,
but Sheamus is sent to the floor. John attempts the cover, but Sheamus kicks.
Morrison throws Sheamus over the barricade to the outside.
Morrison takes a running start and leaps over the barricade. He connects with a
crossbody on Sheamus, and tries for a pin in the crowd. Sheamus kicks out.
Sheamus catches Morrison in the air, and hits a brutal back breaker. He goes for
the cover, but Morrison kicks out. Sheamus lifts Morrison into the air and
throws him gut first onto the barricade, again Morrison is able to kick out.
Sheamus charges full force at Morrison for the Bro Kick. Morrison dodges, and
Sheamus kicks over a part of the production equipment.
Morrison tries to follow up with a series of kicks, but Sheamus is able to
counter his way back to control of the momentum. He sets up Morrison on the
stage, and slams his head against the edge. Sheamus now has Morrison at the top
of the entrance ramp, and is trying to throw him over the edge. John resists,
and almost throws over Sheamus. Morrison is caught by Sheamus and his strength
proves too great. Sheamus throws Morrison off of the stage, but Morrison flips
over in midair and lands on his feet!
Sheamus comes down off the ramp, and is met with a wheel kick from Morrison. Pin
attempt, but Sheamus kicks out. Sheamus grabs Morrison and throws him hard into
the concrete barricade! Morrison kicks out! Sheamus makes his way back on to the
stage as he collects his composure. Somehow, Morrison has made his way on to the
top of the LED screen which is just under the Titantron. Morrison leaps and
connects with a crossbody! That was crazy! Sheamus kicks out of the cover!
Before Morrison can even fully realize the fact that Sheamus kicked out of the
cover, Jericho appears from the entrance ramp and picks up a chair that Sheamus
had considered using earlier. Jericho connects with a strike to the back of
Morrison. Sheamus goes for the cover, and this match is over.
Winner: Sheamus
After the match, we see that Jericho has taken the chair down to the ring, and
it sitting with microphone in hand.

Jericho is in the ring and says that he will not go anywhere until he gets what
he deserves. Jericho says he is waiting until he gets an email from the esteemed
General Manager saying that he has his place back in the Six-Pack Challenge.
Jericho says that if he doesn't get what he wants, he will quit. Jericho says
that he will go home, and watch the entire WWE burn to the ground. Jericho says
that this time, it is for real.
Jericho is waiting in the ring, but no response has come. Jericho says that if
he doesn't get a response, then he will hunt down the General Manager and expose
his identity to the entire world.
*GeneralMail Alert*
Jericho, I really don't like ultimatums. There is no chance that is going to
work. No chance in hell.
Chris Jericho, says that the GM may be creative, but he certainly is not Vince
McMahon. Chris says that McMahon is not a coward, he would be out in the ring
giving his orders.
*GeneralMail Alert*
There is something you should know Jericho. The Six Pack Challenge Match is now
an Elimination Match. After consideration, Chris Jericho has once again been
added to the Six Pack Challenge.
Chris cuts off Cole and tells him to let him have this moment. Chris says that
he will be walking out of the arena on Sunday as the new WWE Champion.
*GeneralMail Alert*
Don't EVER interrupt me again. The General Manager continues, Chris Jericho will
be in the match providing he can win his match tonight. Since Jericho is the
best in the world at what he does, the match will be a handicap match! Against
the WWE Tag Team Champions, the Hart Dynasty. Inside a Steel Cage!
Chris is yelling at Cole demanding to know the identity of the General Manager,
the email address used, or anything that can help him ascertain his identity.

Handicap Cage Match
Chris Jericho v. The Hart Dynasty
Tyson & David are quick to hit The Hart Attack, and head to escape the cage.
David makes his way down to the floor, and has thus chalked up a victory for
himself. Tyson is caught by Chris.
I'm confused by the commentators. They said that both members of The Hart
Dynasty must be eliminated for Jericho to win. Or must both pick up victories to
win. So with David escaping, the most Jericho can do is force a draw?
Jericho tries to spring to the top of the cage for an escape. Tyson catches him,
and throws him down to the mat. Tyson is on the turnbuckle and leaps into the
air for a missile dropkick. Jericho counters into a Walls of Jericho attempt.
Tyson spins the move around, and brings it into a Sharpshooter!
Jericho makes it to the rope, which doesn't break the hold, but provides enough
leverage for him to break the hold. Tyson runs at Jericho but is thrown up into
the air. Unbeknownst to Jericho, this has sent Tyson on a flight near the top of
the cage. Jericho pulls Tyson down and flattens him from a slam into the Walls
of Jericho! Tyson is forced to tap.
Winner via DRAW: Chris Jericho
As a result of forcing the draw, Chris Jericho will be in the Six Pack Challenge
at Night of Champions.

RAW Roulette: Trading Places Match
Goldust v. William Regal
Both competitors are in the attire of their opponent. Goldust did maintain his
face paint as William Regal. Poor William Regal looks humiliated. This match has
been dubbed by Cole as "Gold Regal v. Regal Dust".
Before the match starts, William Regal does the breath intake and scare of
Goldust. In retaliation, Goldust pulls out some brass knuckles, a la William
Regal, and punches Regal in the face. This match is over.
Winner: Gold Regal, or Regal Dust, not sure which was which so William Regal was
the winner, well Goldust as William Regal, so I guess technically Goldust was
the winner, unless you count it via appearance in which case it would be Regal
