MONDAY NIGHT RAW - JULY 18, 2016

WWE Signature

Raw Intro

Welcome to Monday Night Raw. The final Rae before the WWE Draft which takes place tomorrow night. Raw this week is coming to us from Providence, Rhode Island and we kick things off with the new Commissioner of Monday Night Raw, Stephanie McMahon, making her way out to the ring

Stephanie goes to welcome everyone to Monday Night Raw but is interrupted by Shane McMaho, Commissioner of Smackdown, making his way out to the ring. Stephanie says she's not going to miss Shane pandering to the people and Shane welcomes everyone to Monday Night Raw. Stephanie says to soak it up because it will be his last night on Monday Night Raw and she will not miss working with him

Shane says if Stephanie were his brother there would be ramifications for that slap last week. Stephanie says Lady Balls are a lot better than testicles and as for the slap there's nothing Shane can do about it

Stephanie says there will be a Cruiserweight Division launched and it will be the sole property of Monday Night Raw and since Raw gets first draft pick for every 2 Shane gets, Stephanie gets 3 draft picks

Stephanie then announces the new manager of Monday Night Raw and it is none other than Hardcore Legend and WWE Hall Of Famer Mick Foley. Foley thanks the WWE Universe for the ovation and thanks Stephanie for the opportunity to be named General Manager of Monday Night Raw and the new era reminds him of the Attitude Era and the climate reminds him of the Monday Night Wars

The crowd starts a "Foley" chant and as a veteran of the Monday Night Wars when he heard about the competition between Smackdown and Raw it stirred a little ember inside him which turned into a 5 alarm fire. He was there when they were going to take Raw to the top and when he put the final nails in the coffin of WCW and is set to take Raw into the future and beyond

Shane congratulates Mick Foley and gives kudos to Stephanie. A decision that everyone can get behind including him. Shane then introduces the General Manager for Smackdown, Daniel Bryan

Bryan says for a long time he wasn't sure about returning to the ring because he loves wrestling too much but then Shane called him and told him plans to make Smackdown all about the talent and not about the management. And then he decied yes he can come back and he needs to come back because Smackdown Live is the underdog in this fight with Raw just like he was the underdog, the crowd with a "Thank You. Daniel" chant. Bryan says he didn't do it on his own. When he beat Triple H at wrestlemania he didn't do it on his own. When he won the WWE championship at Wrestlemania 30 he didn't do it on his own and Smackdown will beat Raw every single week because they've done it before and will do it again

Stephanie says they all know where underdogs end up and tells Daniel it was only one night that he could make everyone feel like a winner. Stephanie then congratulates Shane, a B+ player of a B+ show. Shane tells Stephanie one thing that won't change is he'll always be her brother and two she had to marry a WWE superstar to remain relevant and they are prepared to make Smackdown Live the juggernaut

John Cena came out to the ring. Cena said this is an exciting Raw. He said this is a huge week with GMs, Commissioners, and the Draft tomorrow night on Smackdown. But, wait, there’s more. This Sunday on WWE Network, they have Battleground. Cena said this Sunday, The Club (some boos) are going to try to beat up John Cena. But, they’re going to realize they can’t see him. Because he got the Certified Gs.

Enzo & Big Cass’s music played to a big pop, bringing out Cena’s back-up. Big-time energy from Enzo & Cass, following up on Cena’s promo. Enzo introduced himself and Cass, then ran around Cena in the ring.

Enzo had something to say. He said The Club – don’t take this the wrong way – but you guys are some herbs with insecurities. Because he always judges a book by his cover, because he ain’t stupid enough to read that book. He said without ugly, there wouldn’t be beautiful. So, Luke Gallows, thanks for your sacrifice. And, A.J. Styles, you got a haircut like a soccer mom. Karl Anderson! He’s like Times New Roman font – as generic as they come. Enzo said they’re never going to beat him.

Cena tapped Enzo on the shoulder, like hold on just a second. You’re just spitting out punchlines. Cena said he has no idea what’s happening here. Cass said they’re like the Three Musketeers. (How you doin’?) Tenors. Nirvana. Destiny’s Child. Run DMC. Wu Tang Clan. Cena said he has no idea what’s going on. Cena said Wu Tang has like 20 members in it. C’mon, guys, we gotta get serious for Battleground. Cass said they like to have fun out here. It’s what they do. And, there’s only one way to describe The Club. S-A-W-F-T!

Suddenly, A.J. Styles’s music interrupted to bring out Styles, Karl Anderson, and Luke Gallows for the rebuttal. From the stage, Styles called out John Boy. You’re going to tag with these two guys setting yourself up for failure? He called him a turd in the punch bowl, making that choice on his own. Styles vowed to give Cena a taste of Battleground tonight.

Now in the ring, Anderson asked the trio if they really think they have chemistry. He said chemistry is himself and his hot Asian wife. When did the three of them all meet? A few weeks over a bowl of candy in catering? Gallows said they have spilled blood and sold out buildings all over the world. Styles said they are a cohesive unit and they are a team. He said they are a team unlike you three scabs.

Anderson continued that they have some goals tonight. They not only get to Beat Up John Cena, but also get to Beat Up Enzo. And they also get to … Beat Up Cass. Oh, they also get to beat up all three members of New Day.

Suddenly, New Day’s music played to bring out three more members of this 12-man tag. Big E. spoke first that they need to find something else to beat. Speaking of jerks, they met up with the Wyatts last week at The Compound. Styles interrupted: “Oh look, Xavier, there’s Bray! Are you scared?”

Woods replied that they are not normal men who are scared of the Wyatts, because they are the WWE Tag Team Champions of the World. Now in the ring, Kofi Kingston wanted to ask Cena something. Do you not understand what How You Doin’ means? New Day simplified for Cena, then rhymed about Pokemon. Cena cut them off to dance.
