Welcome to Monday Night Raw! 6 days from the Armageddon Pay Per View. The #1 Contender, CM Punk will be in action tonight against the King of Swing Cesaro in the main event, word is Punk is in the building and he is on a hunt for the Wyatt Family. Will Punk be 100% for his championship match at Armageddon after multiple attack from the Wyatt's week after week? General Manager Paul Heyman has announced that the Raw participants face off in one on one matches tonight, and also had rivals Seth Rollins and Daniel Bryan pick each others opponents for tonight's RAW!
Speaking of Seth Rollins he is on his way to the ring now for his mystery match-up.
Rollins slid in the ring with a microphone and said, "Alright Daniel who is my opponent?" Bryan appeared on then titantron and said, "Hey Seth since you like to recruit bigger guys to do your dirty work for you, I went and found me a monster of my own for you tonight, and he's hungry!"
"FEED ME MORE!" blasts through the arena as Ryback hits the ramp with an intense look. We haven't seen Ryback since his match with John Cena at Extreme Rules and he put Cena on the shelf after the match and we don't know when we'll see Cena again!

Backstage Renee Young runs into Raw GM Paul Heyman. "Mr. Heyman, what is your take on tonight's chaos so far? With Punk being the prime suspect for laying out Harper & Rowan and with Kane demolishing Damien Sandow and possibly taking him out of the King of The Ring Tournament at Armageddon? I would like your thoughts?" Heyman looked up from his desk, "Chaos? This isn't chaos, I say tonight things are finally start to balance out around here. Yes its unfortunate that Harper & Rowan got attacked tonight and Kane sent Damien Sandow out of here on a stretcher, but that's the way things go around here sometimes. Now if you will excuse me, Ms. Young but if Sandow can't compete Sunday, I have the uneventful task of finding his replacement."
