MONDAY NIGHT RAW - APRIL 18, 2016

Welcome to WWE Monday Night Raw from the O2 Arena in London, England and we kick things off with Dean Ambrose coming out to the ring as we look back at the debut of The Ambrose Asylum from last week's Raw

Ambrose takes the mic and says everyone wants to be a part of the Ambrose Asylum and introduces his first guest Shane McMahon. The crowd starts a "Shane O Mac" chant as Ambrose welcomes Shane to the Ambrose Asylum. The crowd starts chanting "You Still Got It" which brings a smile to Shane's face and Ambrose says Shane brought a clip but before rolling to the clip he says he's done a lot of questionable things in his life but nothing like the clip they're about to watch and we roll to footage from Wrestlemania where Shane jumped from the top of the cell.

Ambrose says Shane is the first guy to make him stop and think "what was that guy thinking". Shane takes that as a compliment. Ambrose says he has a lot of questions and any show can be Shane's last and wants to know what's on Shane's agenda. Shane says it's all about the fans and there's a new era emerging in WWE with new superstars getting a chance. Superstars such as AJ Styles, Sami Zayn and Sasha Banks and it's because of the fans that they have arrived

Kevin Owens makes his way out and says Shane can talk about the evolution of WWE all he wants but calls it the same crap he's always seen because Owens sees someone who's mad with power and has a personal vendetta against Owens.

Shane says he has no vendetta and Owens asks why he was kicked out of the building and Shane says it's because he was going to cost Sami Zayn a chance at the WWE Championship. Owens then says so he was punished for being honest and Zayn belongs nowhere near the WWE Championship and Sami's been riding Owens' coattails for over a decade

Sami Zayn comes out and says it's funny Owens would say that because Zayn got signed to WWE before him and it drives Owens crazy which is why he threw away their friendship and deep down Owens knows he would have never made it to WWE without Zayn

Chris Jericho is out next and tells the crowd to shut their mouth he has something to say. Jericho says there's bigger issues here besides Zayn's emotions and the only one with a brain in this ring is Kevin Owens who is right in saying Shane McMahon is drunk with power. Jericho says Shane's been gone for a long time and he didn't like him then and doesn't like him now and he was the host of the greatest show on Raw The Highlight Reel and Shane took it away from him. McMahon says it's all about new opportunities and Jericho can watch The Highlight Reel all he wants on the WWE Network

Tensions begin to rise but Shane intervenes and says if Jericho is the best in the world at what he does then at Payback it will be Chris Jericho vs Dean Ambrose and Kevin Owens vs Sami Zayn.  Ambrose asks Shane to hold the potted plant and a brawl breaks out as Ambrose and Zayn clear the ring of Jericho and Owens
