Welcome to WWE Monday Night Raw and this week Raw comes to us live from The Consul Energy Centre in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and we kick things off with Stephanie McMahon coming out to the ring. Stephanie says last night’s main event at Battleground was compromised. Not even compromised, it was ruined and she along with the WWE Universe is livid as is both Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan and it is all because of the actions of one selfish man and she calls out Big Show. Stephanie says she knows Show’s been under a lot of pressure but understands when Show is under pressure he makes bad decisions and he knocked out everyone last night and asks what he has to say for himself. Show says he’s sorry and Stephanie says he’s right he’s sorry. Her and Triple H have bailed him out numerous times and calls him pathetic saying he can’t even manage himself. Stephanie tells him to man up and he says ok and asks if he can go now. Stephanie says no he can’t go. They not only own his home but own him and he has no free will. Stepahnie tells Show to get on his knees and beg the WWE Universe for forgiveness. Stephanie says he can’t even do that and calls him worthless and says he has no heart or soul.

Paul Heyman is in the ring with Ryback & Curtis Axel. Heyman introduced himself before announcing himself the Best in the World because he is the only man who can claim he beat C.M. Punk with both hands tied behind his back. Heyman continued that Punk has some bragging rights of his own because Punk pinned Ryback last night at Battleground.

Punk remained on-stage to deliver his message: "Are you calling me a cheater?!" Punk asked Heyman. Punk said all he did last night was win.
