Raw intro plays.
Raw General Manager AJ Lee comes down to the ring to address the fans.
Welcome to Monday Night Raw. She has blockbuster matches in store tonight, one of which is Big Show versus Randy Orton. Also, Daniel Bryan will face, for the first time ever on Raw, John Cena. And wait until they hear this. Tonight-
WWE Champion CM Punk comes out and heads into the ring.
He’s a man who lives his life with zero regrets. He’s also man enough to know when he makes a mistake. Last week, he did something he’s not proud of. Honestly, he did something he wishes he could take back but he can’t. He stepped out of line and lost his temper, so he would like to apologize to AJ. Last week he let his emotions get the better of him, and whether he was in the right doesn’t matter. She doesn’t deserve to be disrespected just like how someone in his position of power as champion doesn’t deserve to be disrespected. It doesn’t feel good. So, in front of all these people, he’s sorry.
Okay, she accepts his apology.
Thank you. Now they can continue to be friends. She has been settled with this responsibility. She’s bound to make big mistakes from time to time to put the champion in a match where he doesn’t even have to be pinned to made to submit to lose the title. So let’s just cancel the match.
He’s right. She is new at this and she’s gonna make mistakes. But the triple threat match is not one of those mistakes. Her decision stands.
He gets it. So this is her getting back at him for humiliating her in front of a television audience when she asked him to marry her. Please, don’t tell him she’s gonna be the evil Raw General Manager that is against the guy everyone likes. She’s better than that. He’s not against fighting either man one on one. Hell, he’ll take a new competitor. But let’s just-
John Cena comes out and heads to the ring.
He can’t believe it. He’s become one of those guys. Him. He’s now one of those guys who comes out and demands respect. You don’t demand respect, plain and simple. And if he thinks he deserves respect just because he wears that title, well he’s won eleven of those and he STILL has to earn the fan’s respect. So if he wants to play the blame game for the triple threat that’s his agenda. But he was doing well against Big Show last week, but Punk got involved and now it’s a triple threat match. By the way.
Cena introduces himself to the Raw GM.
John, he hasn’t become anything. He became a guy that turns a blind eye to facts. He doesn’t like it? Boo hoo. He didn’t stick his nose into anything. Cena stuck his nose into him at the commentary table. It was Cena who came flying into him. He put his hands on him. He is the WWE Champion and he will not be disrespected. Not by him, by the Big Show, or anybody else. And besides, he saved his life last week. Yeah he picked up the Big Show, and he’s strong enough to give him the AA, but his back was giving out and he saved him from injuring himself.
That’s all well and good, Summerslam will be a triple threat match, and in a triple threat match the champion doesn’t have to be pinned or submitted to lose his title. And he has a feeling that Punk isn’t walking away with the title.
Oh, so he’s gonna beat him like he did last year? Oh wait, check the Almanac, Punk beat him!
Whether it’s last year or this year, he-
Big Show comes out and walks down to the ring.
AJ cries out STOP IT!
She’s not going to let anything crazy happy during her show. Cena and Show have matches tonight, so they need to go get ready for them.
So they have matches, but not the champion? The champion deserves the main event.
He does have a match tonight?
Against who?
She doesn’t know.
What does she mean by that?
It’s not up to her. It’s up to the WWE Universe. Before he interrupted her, she was gonna announce that the fans will vote on Twitter who his opponent will be tonight. The choices are The Miz, Kane, or Rey Mysterio. And actually, voting starts right now because his match is next.
AJ exits the ring and Punk gets ready for his match up next. Log on to Twitter and decide who Punk will face!

-Commercial-
Justin Roberts introduces Shawn Michaels. Michaels comes out and heads down to the ring. After soaking in the crowd’s reaction, Michaels addresses the fans.
It doesn’t matter how many times he does this, he can’t be running down there every two years, he’s out of shape! Okay, first of all, he has to thank the WWE Universe for allowing him once again to be a part of history. A couple weeks ago, the 1000th episode of Monday Night Raw, truly a historic moment and of course the reunion of D-Generation X. Now he’s pretty comfortable watching the world go by at his ranch, but when he heard that Raw was going to be in his hometown of San Antonio, he figured there was no other way that ol’ hashtag HBK was gonna miss that. So here he is. And the irony is the more things change the more they stay the same. He went in the lockerroom and there were a lot of faces he didn’t recognize. But what’s the same is that they’re talking about the confrontation at Summerslam. The clash of Triple H and Brock Lesnar. And they all say ‘HBK, what’s your opinion?’
Brock Lesnar comes out and heads down to the ring along with his representative Paul Heyman. They get in the ring. Heyman speaks to Shawn.
It’s not surprising to him that everyone wants to know his opinion on the match between his client Brock Lesnar and Shawn’s best friend Triple H. Everyone should ask his opinion. He is the greatest in ring entertainer in the history of WWE. Brock and he would seek out his opinion as well, except not for this match in particular because Brock is not going into Summerslam as an “entertainer”. He’s not here to “entertain” with Triple H. He doesn’t want to be the heir apparent to “The Showstopper”, “Mr. WrestleMania”, or any of that. Brock Lesnar is showing up at Summerslam to FIGHT Triple H and prove that he’s the baddest dude on the planet today.
Well, he’s not here to dispute the attributes of Brock Lesnar.
Exactly! He said it!
Don’t put words in his mouth! Any other time with any other guy, Brock Lesnar is your man. But he’s gonna tell him this. He went somewhere he shouldn’t go with Triple H or any man. He attacked his wife, his kids. He doesn’t even recognize him anymore. They don’t want his opinion, but he’s gonna give it anyway. On this day, the guy he’s going with is Triple H. And he believes it down to his core. In fact he believes it so much that he wants to be there to see it personally. He’s gonna be in his corner at Summerslam and watch Triple H defeat Brock Lesnar.
Know what that is? That’s the big announcement. That’s what they’re going to play over and over again when they examine Triple H’s career. Shawn had a choice. He left on his own. Lesnar is not giving him that choice. It’s bad enough that his wife and children have to watch what Lesnar’s gonna do. What is0
Brock grabs the mic from Paul.
Shawn, the only reason he thinks Triple H can beat him is because he’s never been in the ring with him until now.
Brock steps closer to Shawn, and Triple H comes out. He heads down to the ring and steps inside.
Triple H and Shawn Michaels stand side by side against Lesnar. Lesnar grabs the mic from Paul again.
He’ll see Triple H at Summerslam. And Shawn, he’ll see him before then.
Lesnar exits the ring and heads up the ramp with Heyman while Triple H and Shawn watch him leave.
