We see Dwayne "The Rock"
Johnson talking on the phone. He says John Cena's "knockout punch" last week was
bad and not funny. Cena's music hits. In walks a little kid dressed like Cena
rapping. Rock stands up and wants to teach "little Cena" a lesson. He said Cena
took the ball and ran with it when he left WWE. Rock adds that Cena appeals the
most to the 2-5 year old demographic. He asks little Cena what it all means.
Little Cena said he isn't very talented. Rock asks little Cena how he feels. "IT
DOESN'T MATTER HOW YOU FEEL", says Rock. Little Cena starts crying. Rock said
everyone saw his movies, but they didn't cry the way he is now. He offers up a
Cena t-shirt to blow Little Cena's nose. Rock gets Little Cena to smile and says
he has a surprise - a box of Fruity Pebbles. Little Cena smiles and asks if he
can eat them now. Rock said he can and to take his "no talented fruit loop
behind" away. Rock then addresses WWE Champion The Miz. The Rock introduces
himself to Miz. We are getting the scary background music during this. Rock said
Miz made it clear he wants the "single biggest ass whoopin' of a life time" by
mentioning him last week. He promises to "bring it live" before Wrestlemania on
Monday Night Raw. Rock tells Cena to shut his mouth whether he shows up live or
live via satellite. "If ya smelllll, what The Rock...is...cookin'!"
Backstage, we see Trish Stratus with Snooki of MTV's "Jersey Shore" fame.
At ringside, we see Michael Cole inside a glass box/structure in what he calls
the "Cole Mine" to protect himeslf from Jerry "The King" Lawler. Lawler and Josh
Mathews are nearby at the Raw announce table.
WWE Champion The Miz is making his way to the ring. The Miz says Rock's t-shirt
does bring it...hasbeen catchphrases, comedy and awful movies. He says that
while Rock's grandfather and father were good, they were never WWE Champion. Miz
says that makes him better than them and he can say whatever he wants. He says
Rock likes to make 6 year olds cry, but if Rock steps into the ring with him he
will make him cry and scream like a little girl. Miz said unlike Rock talking
about beating up Cena, he has actually done it - 3 weeks in a row to be exact.
He said Rock doesn't own Cena...he does. Miz said week after week Rock promises
to "bring it." He said he hopes and prays Rock does and maybe even in St. Louis
tonight. Miz said if Rock "brings it", let it be known that he will be
overshadowed by the most seen WWE Champion in company history. "Because I'm The
Miz...and I'mmmmmmm...awesomeeeeeeeeeeee."
The Raw GM has something to say. Michael Cole exits his glass booth. As he gets
near the Raw GM podium, Jerry Lawler stands up and blocks him. Lawler tells Cole
to return to his cage. The Raw GM has arranged two "first ever" matches for Miz
and Cena tonight. Cena will face a man he has never been in the ring with before
tonight - the #1 contender for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, Alberto
Del Rio. Miz asks Lawler who the Raw GM has for him since he has faced everyone.
The Raw GM begs to differ. Out walks Miz's opponent...The Great Khali.

Guerrero walk up. Vickie tells Snooki to stay away from her Dolphy. She adds
it's no big deal that Snooki is on the cover of Rolling Stone since she was
offered the cover of Playboy. Snooki says it must have been a centerfold since
you can't fit all of Vickie on one page. Vickie goes to slap Snooki, but Snooki
blocks it and slaps Vickie instead. Morrison laughs and pulls Snooki away.

King" Lawler.

at Wrestlemania when he beats Jerry Lawler. He said he knows how defensive
Lawler gets when anyone talks about his family - living or dead. Cole said he
has no plans to talk about Lawler's family tonight because his family is going
to take about Jerry. He introduces Jerry's son, Brian Christopher aka "Grand
Master Sexay."
Brian Christopher comes out dancing. Cole dances as well in the ring. Lots of
white guy dancing. Cole brings up that Brian has never used the name "Brian
Lawler." Brian said all of his life, he never felt like he had a father. He said
while his father was off traveling the world being The King, he ignored his son.
Brian said Jerry never wanted a child or anyone to get in his spotlight. He said
when he made it on his own to the WWE, he wouldn't even acknowledge to anyone
that he was his son. Jerry takes the mic and said he isn't the only one glad he
didn't use the "Lawler" name. He calls Brian a bigger screw up than Charlie
Sheen. Jerry said the fact he would associate himself with a "jackass" like
Michael Cole shows everyone what kind of a person he is. Brian asks his father
what he thinks about the fact that he performed at Wrestlemania with Too Cool
before he ever did. He adds, "How did that make you feel...daddy!?" Brian shoves
his father telling him to answer him. He knocks Jerry's headset off. Brian says
it looks like he is just going to sit there and slaps his father. He said the
reason he never used his name was because he is ashamed of him.
Cole adds, "Just what I thought Lawler - you don't care about your family. You
are nothing but a coward. You are pathetic. You are a loser. At Wrestlemania, I
will put you in your place." Jim Ross' music hits. JR walks down the ramp and
gets in the ring. Cole said he was just waiting for the moment when JR was going
to show up to steal the spotlight. "I guess it's a slow day in the BBQ business
or on Twitter," adds Cole. JR said enough is enough to Cole. He tells Cole this
has gone far enough. Cole tells JR to go away and says this is his show now.
"I'm the voice of the WWE, Michael Cole is the voice of WWE, NOT Jim Ross," adds
Cole. JR said he has been meaning to talk to him about that. He said he has the
honor to sit next to Jerry Lawler for many years on Monday Night Raw and he was
lucky enough to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. JR said he found out that
no one will ever be the "voice of WWE" because the voices are in the arena
tonight in St. Louis and watching around the world. He said Lawler has been
carrying Cole for years now. JR calls Cole a "rat bastard." Cole says JR will
now leave with his tale tucked between his legs the way everyone expected. Just
as JR goes to leave, he gets back in the ring and remove his cowboy hat. JR
removes his tie and Cole takes off his jacket and tie as well. Crowd starts a
loud "JR" chant. Jack Swagger is then seen attacking Lawler at ringside. Swagger
gets in the ring and Cole yells at him to teach JR some respect. JR tells Cole
to shutup. Swagger kicks JR and then applies an ankle lock. Lawler hits the ring
