Are you ready? Then stop
questioning your heart and join me because it is time for Monday Night RAW!!!
John Cena's music hits, and he makes his way down to the ring amidst a mixed
reaction from the audience. Cena tells them not to lose hope, and to still
believe. Last week, Cena heard the crowd chant something that he has never heard
before. They were chanting, "never give up". Cena says that it may sound corny,
but he will never give up.
At Hell-in-a-Cell Cena took the risk to disband the Nexus, unfortunately he did
not succeed. Cena made a deal, and is a man of his word so he had to become a
member of the Nexus and take orders from Wade Barrett. As the GM said last week,
if Cena does not follow orders he will be fired from the WWE. Not just RAW, but
the entire WWE.
Cena says that he loves coming out to the crowd because he loves being able to
interact with the audience. Regardless of whether they like him or not, he loves
the fact that they are passionate. Cena explains to the audience that they may
see him do things, that he doesn't want to do. It's not a reflection on Cena,
but rather an inevitable end because of Wade Barrett.
The Miz's music hits, and he makes his way down to the ring with his minion,
Alex Riley. Miz mocks Cena for not wanting to lose the support of the WWE
audience. Miz tells Cena that he is in luck, because Miz has taken the helm as
the captain of Team RAW. Miz says that he doesn't judge his team by what they do
personally, but rather their ability. Miz invites Cena to join his team, and
fight for RAW at Bragging Rights.
Cena says that he thinks it is a good idea. The problem? Miz as the team
captain. Cena says that he has nothing to do at Bragging Rights, so how about he
captains the team himself? Miz shouts no, and says that he called dibs.
Wade's music hits and he makes his way down to the ring. Wade says that he
doesn't care about RAW or Smackdown. He only cares about Nexus and the WWE
Title. Wade says that he needs Cena's full attention at Bragging Rights and
nothing else – being in Wade's corner when he faces Orton for the WWE Title.
Cena counters that he can do both. Wade refuses, and says that Cena will only be
in his corner at the PPV. Nothing else. Alex Riley decides to butt in and put
over the Miz. Riley says that the potential is there for Miz to cash in the case
at the PPV. Miz yells at him for giving away the element of surprise.
*GeneralMail Alert*
And I quote...
While Cena does answer to Wade, everybody on RAW must answer to the General
Manager. So, as for tonight, there will be a series of matches to determine the
participants. Tonight, in the main event, there will be a match to determine the
captain of Team RAW. It will be The Miz v. John Cena.
Miz says that it doesn't matter, because he will beat Cena tonight. Miz will be
the captain of Team RAW. And, he might even cash in the case at the PPV. Miz
tells Barrett that there is absolutely nothing that he can do about it. Wade's
response? He head butts Miz.
Miz and Riley start to attack Wade. Cena just steps back and watches the attack.
Wade never called Cena in for help, so technically Cena didn't have to. Wade is
able to roll out of the ring, at which point Cena starts to attack Miz in the
corner. Cena turns his attention to Riley and hits the Attitude Adjustment. Miz
bails out of the ring. Cena and Wade argue in the ring as we go to commercial.
