WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW - FEBRUARY 1, 2016

Welcome to WWE Monday Night Raw and we kick things off with Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar making their way out to the ring. We get a "Suplex City" chant from the crowd which brings a smile to Lesnar's face.

Paul Heyman introduces himself and calls himself the advocate for the "Nightmare Of Suplex City" and says they have a lot of business to cover. He says at Royal Rumble, The Wyatt Family had a conspiracy to remove Lesnar from the title picture but their plot failed and when Lesnar wants to at his leisure, Lesnar will invoke the 11th commandment, "Thou Shalt Not Provoke Brock Lesnar".

Heyman says last Monday. Stephanie McMahon did what was beast for business and announced the main event for FastLane. Dean Ambrose vs Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar with the winner going on to Wrestlemania to main event for the WWE World Championship against Triple H

Lesnar has authorized Heyman to let everyone know that at FastLane, Lesnar will imprison Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns into Suplex City, stack one on top of the other and pin both at the same time and conquer Triple H and once again becoming WWE World Heavyweight Champion

He is not selling Ambrose and Reigns short however because Reigns stood up and Lesnar put him down and Reigns needs to explain this to Dean Ambrose. Ambrose walks out to the ring. Ambrose says he's never been in the lair of a beast before and told himself this may be a bad idea.

This may look crazy but its not crazy and he's not crazy or stupid but does have all the respect in the world for Lesnar. He says he wanted to come out and look Lesnar in the eye and tell him he wants the WWE World Heavyweight Championshop so bad he's even going to fight his brother for it and he doesn't really want to fight Lesnar but is willing to and tells Lesnar to take him to Suplex City

Ambrose says he hopes Lesnar's ready to give Ambrose to worse beating of his life but he's the iron man of the WWE and will drag his broken body to Wrestlemania and take the title from Triple H and exits the ring
