September 2016, Week 1
- “Welcome to the Queendom” hits the speakers and out walks Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley to a chorus of boos.
Stephanie: “Oh, it’s so good to be back after last month. Speaking of last month, it would seem that some wrongs need to be fixed. I would like to congratulate Natalya for winning the World Women’s Championship and for Alex Shelley on finally bringing the World Cruiserweight Championship to RAW. I would also like to congratulate The Revival for being the ONLY World Champions to survive Summer Slam with their titles and as a reward I will be granting them their rightful rematch for the RAW Tag Team Championship tonight. Now, RAW may have walked out with 3 of the 4 world titles but we do NOT have the World Heavyweight Championship anymore and there are a couple men I blame for that.”
- “The Second Coming” hits the speakers and former RAW and World Heavyweight Champion, Seth Rollins makes his way to the ring.
Stephanie: “Well, speak of the devil, here is your FORMER World Heavyweight Champion, ‘The Arcitect’ Seth Rollins.”
Rollins: “Excuse me Steph, but I sure hope that you aren’t blaming me for the debacle that happened last month while you weren’t here?”
Stephanie: “I blame everyone involved in the loss of that title.”
Rollins: “You should blame your GM for putting that title in that situation and you should blame Bray Wyatt for losing that title because I was NOT the one that got pinned.”
Stephanie: “You may not be the one who was pinned but you also were NOT the guy who got the pin and because of that the World Title is now on Smackdown.”
Rollins: “Give me a shot at that title and it WILL be back on RAW.”
- “Live in Fear” hits the speakers and the reigning RAW Heavyweight Champion, Bray Wyatt, makes his way to the ring.
Wyatt: “Well, wouldn’t that be nice Mr. Rollins for her to hand you an undeserved title shot seeing as I am currently holding the RAW Heavyweight Championship and thus, the rightful holder of a guaranteed shot at the World Title from RAW.”
Rollins: “You are an undeserving champion and YOU are the reason that World Title isn’t on RAW anymore.”
Stephanie: “Well boys, here is where we are sitting. We have a little PPV coming up called Night of Champions. Seth, you are the former RAW Heavyweight Champion and Bray you are the current RAW Heavyweight Champion. At Night of Champions, we will be focusing on the brand championships so at the PPV it will be Bray Wyatt defending the RAW Heavyweight Championship against Seth Rollins, but tonight you can get a little revenge on Bray as you face off in a non-title match.”
- The two men face off with one another with Wyatt holding the title high in Rollins’ face.
Stephanie: “In fact, that match is going to happen NOW!”

- “Welcome to the Queendom” hits the speakers and Stephanie makes her way back to the stage to more boos.
Steph (waving her hands): “Keep it coming but you can’t deny that tonight has been the best RAW in a while. That was an amazing match between Beth Phoenix and Nia Jax. At Summer Slam, Natalya proved to everyone that she is the best and became a double champion by defeated fellow RAW female superstar, Kaitlyn to take home the World Women’s Championship. Now, don’t get me wrong, Kaitlyn has been extremely impressive since her return but under the rules I am unable to give her a rematch for the World Title but I will be granting her a shot at the RAW Women’s Championship next week. The winner of that match will defend the RAW Women’s Championship at Night of Champions against a contender to be determined later. I have also made a huge acquisition for the women’s division and she will be here next week. Speaking of acquisitions, I have made another huge one for RAW in order to keep RAW on top. I’d like everyone to stand up and welcome the newest member of the RAW roster…”
- “The Time Is Now” hits the speakers.
Steph: “John Cena”
- Cena makes his way to the stage and then to the ring as opposing chants of Let’s Go Cena and Cena Sucks make their way through the arena.
Cena: “Well Steph, thank you for that warm introduction.”
Steph: “I know we haven’t always seen eye to eye in the past John, but if RAW is going to be the A show and continue to be the A Show we need the A talent and no matter how we might feel about each other, no one can deny that you are part of the A talent.”
Cena: “It’s great to be back on Monday Night RAW. I’m here for one reason and for one reason only.”
- “The Truth Reigns” hits the speakers and Roman Reigns makes his way to the stage and then the ring to a chorus of boos.
Reigns: “The only reason you are here John is to get in the back of the line behind me. John your time is over and it’s my time now. Did you see what I did at Summer Slam during the Gauntlet Match? I entered first and destroyed everyone who got in my way.”
Cena: “Yes I did watch and it was impressive, but I also saw you eliminate a bunch of nobodies in that match and you were missing one big piece.”
Reigns: “And what piece would that be John?”
Cena: “ME!”
- The two men face off with each other.
Steph: “Well, I think we have our main event for tonight. In tonight’s main event we will see John Cena versus Roman Reigns.”
Reigns: “This is MY yard now John!”
