Aint No Make Believe beams out as the Raw video then plays without any announcement
Raw pyros erupt
Michael Cole: Good evening everybody and welcome to live Monday night Raw from the Staples Centre, Los Angeles, California. I'm Michael Cole and with me tonight is my co-commentator Tazz one night removed from one of the greatest nights in WWE history
Tazz: Thanks Cole. I cant wait for tonight to get going after the electric Wrestlemania we had last night.
Michael Cole: Yeah last night was incredible, we saw groundbreaking moments to be remembered forever. Wade Barrett became the first superstar to defeat The Undertaker at Wrestlemania and also ended his career.
Tazz: And the end to that world title match was intriguing to say the least.
Michael Cole: Unbelievable would be my take on it Tazz. Both John Cena and CM Punk having their shoulders pinned down simultaneously.
Tazz: I wonder what Triple H is going to do tonight.
Triple Hs music plays and he appears to loud cheers
Michael Cole: Well we are about to find out Tazz
Triple H: I aint here to blabber on so I’ll cut to the chase, I promised you an announcement and here it is......the new general manager of the WWE is ................................................the heartbreak kid Shawn Michaels
Crowd erupts as HBK returns and Triple H leaves hugging HBK as they pass
Michael Cole: Oh my god Tazz its HBK
Tazz: The showstopper
Michael Cole: It could have been someone better in my opinion
HBK: Hello LLLLLLLLL......AAAAAAAAA!
Big pop for HBK as the LA crowd continue to go wild
HBK: The heartbreak kid, the showstopper is back and running the show. Its been a while since I’ve been here but its great to be back
CM Punks music hits and the WWE champion and Nexus leader makes his way to the ring to boos flanked by David Otunga and the WWE tag team champions Mason Ryan and Skip Sheffield.
CM Punk: So Shawn Michaels has decided to come back. Well sorry to interrupt your little homecoming parade but I think there’s something you need to address before you carry on and that’s to hand me my other world title that John Cena decided to steal last night.
HBK looks on thinking, the delay sending Punk ballistic
CM Punk: I’m not messing Shawn, you better give me my title or else.
The Nexus start to move in on HBK until The Champ is Here plays and World Champion John Cena makes his way to the ring.
John Cena: Woah woah woah woah woah, your title, I think you will find its my title and that you are holding mine. And if you want this title CM SPUNK!!!! then I think you should come get it
With that Cena launches himself at Otunga knocking him to the ground. Ryan and Sheffield try to grab Cena but he deters them with forehands and then they get hit by a double clothesline over the top rope. Punk bails and Otunga staggers to his feet only for HBK to wallop him with the sweet chin music. The Nexus retreat leaving Otunga flat out in the ring as HBK picks up Punk’s title that was dropped in the melee.
HBK: Now where was I, oh yeah, I was going to make an announcement regarding the state of the world title until I was rudely interrupted. As of this moment both world titles are vacant.
An irate Punk is held back as he goes ballistic at HBK, Cena doesn’t look happy either.
HBK: Starting tonight, the road to night of champions. Right here in Boston John Cena will take on Wade Barrett in the first round of the World title tournament.
Crowd go wild as HBK asks Cena to hand over the world title which Cena reluctantly does still shaking his head at the outcome.
Michael Cole: Wow Tazz what just happened here. I cant believe that HBK just did that
Tazz: I know Cole, both champs stripped of their belts, I didn’t see that coming
Michael Cole: And starting tonight the tournament that will crown the new champion. With former champion John Cena taking on the streak ender Wade Barrett. I can only see one outcome in that match, a resounding win for Wade Barrett
Tazz: Are you kidding me Cole. John Cena is every bit the equal to Wade Barrett and that is going to be one hell of a match.
Michael Cole: Whatever Tazz, if that makes you happy then keep saying it.

Michael Cole: Meh!! Ive seen better, like the tag champs for starts.
Sabin and Shelley celebrate in the ring as the camera cuts backstage. We see David Otunga and the WWE World tag team champions Mason Ryan and Skip Sheffield watching the Guns on the television monitor.
David Otunga:Dont worry about them, they got nothing on you guys.
?????????: Just like last night then eh????
CM Punk emerges into the picture with a disappointed look upon his face.
CM Punk: Last night wasn’t a very good night for the Nexus, I in theory lost my hard earned WWE title without even being defeated. This is a travesty of justice. That loser Shawn Michaels and that thug John Cena will have whats coming to them dont worry. This can not be left unvisited. We have to make sure that the title returns to me and parity is restored in the world. Tonight guys you have a rematch against Evan Bourne and Brian Kendrick and David you are not to get involved. The Nexus need to send out a message tonight. And send a message we shall.
CM Punk leaves and Otunga shrugs his shoulders before following as Ryan and Sheffield talk between themselves.
Back in the arena and Drew McIntyres music hits and he begins to make his way to the ring when Cody Rhodes assaults him from behind. Rhodes with a big kick to the abdomen of McIntyre and Rhodes sends McIntyre into the barricade and hits an armbreaker on the outside floor.
Tazz: What a cheapshot by Cody.
Michael Cole: The mans just trying to get to the next round, hes showing initiative.

Michael Cole: Hey the guy is just doing what has to be done to get the win. Even you have been there Tazz
Tazz: Well with the world title gold the stake then I guess we will have competitors trying to win by any means possible and none more so than Wade Barrett and John Cena who will go one on one in tonight’s main event, a match made by the new WWE General Manager, Shawn Michaels.
Michael Cole: Well like I said earlier I dont think John Cena has a chance in hell of beating Wade Barrett later on tonight.
Tazz: Well we will find out later tonight Cole. And speaking of John Cena. He’s standing backstage now with Scott Stanford.
Camera pans backstage to where Scott Stanford is standing with John Cena
Scott Stanford: John Cena, tonight you go one on one with Wade Barrett in the first round of the WWE World Title tournament in your quest to regain the gold stripped of you tonight by new General Manager Shawn Michaels. The WWE fans would like to hear your thoughts on the situation.
The crowd pop as Cena begins to speak
John Cena: Well Scott, my thoughts are simple, with regards to Shawn Michaels and what he did tonight I can fully understand what he did as he had a difficult decision to make, but my focus is still the same, I will treat each match as a title match, defeat no option and with my CeNation behind me I will try to beat 5 other guys on my way to the gold. Because if I cant do that then I dont deserve to be champion.
?????: You wont even beat one.
Wade Barrett appears with his lackeys Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel
Wade Barrett: You see John, last night, I did something never ever achieved before, I defeated the Undertaker at Wrestlemania. I ended the streak. Big Show, Edge, Randy Orton, Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, Kane, Triple H couldnt get the job done and some of them had twice the opportunity. They tried, they failed. I never. Its because Im the best. the future of this company and its people like you, the average, that need to move aside because the Corre is taking over.
Cena squares up to Barrett and Slater but Gabriel gets in a cheap shot and The Corre begin to beat down on Cena but he fights back and hits an ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT on Gabriel, ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT ON Slater. Barrett sees its 1 on 1 so flees but Cena pursues only for Ezekiel Jackson to come out of nowhere with a monstrous clothesline. Barrett orders Jackson to finish him and he obliges, SPINEBUSTER on the concrete. Barrett leans down into Cenas face
Wade Barrett: Thats just the start Cena, if you know whats good for you you will stay out of my way and forget about any plans to win tonight.

Orton gets up close to Cody
Randy Orton: Just worry about yourself Cody
Orton walks off as Cody reverts back to his reflection.
Tazz: An interesting confrontation there between the 2 former members of The Legacy, Rhodes showing a complete lack of respect.
Michael Cole: Lack of respect Tazz, who the hell does Randy Orton think he is, Cody Rhodes is the future of this company, the best next generation superstar to ever grace the WWE squared circle.
Tazz: I doubt that very much Cole.
Carlitos music plays as he makes his way down to the ring to a chorus of boos.
Tazz: Well this match is the 2nd of 4 world title tournament matchups and Carlito would love to advance here.
