RAW

Tonight’s RAW opens with a look back at last week’s RAW where Bobby Lashley threatened The Miz and earned a title shot tonight. We go live tot he ThunderDome and the former WWE Champion, the Scottish Psychopath Drew McIntyre, making his return to the show and coming to the ring.

McIntyre says it’s been a “bitch of a month” for him. Sheamus, his friend of twenty years stabbed him in the back and he doesn’t know why but they’re going to beat the hell out of each other very soon. Two weeks ago he stepped inside the Elimination Chamber against five other men and defended his WWE Championship. Then he got attacked by Bobby Lashley, got his ass beat. Then The Miz cashed-in the Money In The Bank briefcase and now he’s Champion. McIntyre stares at the WrestleMania sign and says it’s fine because he knows his mission: regain his WWE Championship and main event WrestleMania. He says he didn’t beat Brock Lesnar at the show last year, defend his title time and again, and carry WWE on his back for a year only to get screwed at the finish line. Not a chance.

The Miz and John Morrison come out wearing suits and Miz makes the announcers introduce him as the Champion before mountains of pyro go off. Miz says that’s more like it and he couldn’t help but hear all of Drew’s complaining. He admires how much class Drew has shown, for a former Champion. He says it was inevitable that he would become Champion again. Drew tells him to get into the ring and he can congratulate him but Miz declines. Miz asks why Drew is upset with him? Morrison asks Drew if he’d be upset at an eagle flying in the sky and Miz says of course not, so why be angry that the Money In The Bank winner cashed in? Miz says the only person Drew should be mad at is Bobby Lashley. Drew says he isn’t stupid, he won’t fall for Miz’s mind-games, so if Miz can somehow get through tonight he’ll worry about him then. Miz says he didn’t want to make a deal with Lashley but Bobby threatened his family, so he had to. Miz continues that Lashley is getting a title shot when McIntyre is more deserving, so the three of them should work together.

MVP comes out with a cane and stands on the stage. MVP asks if this is the beginning of a new business relationship, or the pathetic ramblings of Miz and Morrison? He asks Drew who says MVP should know by now he doesn’t need or want anyone’s help. MVP is fine with that and tells Miz that tonight Lashley will take that title from him. Oh, and that match will begin at 9 PM EST! MVP leaves but out comes Sheamus and McIntyre meets him on the ramp so they can start brawling. Referee’s try to pull them apart but Drew clotheslines Sheamus over the barricade and gets back in the ring to wait for him.

The camera cuts backstage and Miz is doubled over holding his stomach with Morrison consoling. Pearce appears and asks what’s going on and Miz says he’s cramping up, it’s coming out of both ends. Pearce says Miz is the WWE Champion and he is obligated to defend the title. Lashley has heard enough and he runs to the back.

Braun Strowman makes his way to the ring and he does not look happy.

*Commercial Break*

Braun Strowman is in the ring and he says WWE management has something against him. He says he was suspended for headbutting Adam Pearce, and then he was left out of the Elimination Chamber match. He watched the PPV from his home and it sucked without him. And now he’s out here for a stupid tag team match that he only found out about two minutes ago and he doesn’t even know who his partner is. Braun says Pearce and Shane McMahon are running around with no idea what they’re doing and it’s starting to really piss him off.

Shane and Pearce make their way down to the ring and Shane tells Braun to relax. McMahon says they’re not trying to make a fool out of him but he has a clear inability to meet his goals. Shane says he is angry and upset and he’s here to help him. He helps a lot of people, including himself. He’s currently taking a course that includes a conflict management section that is obviously far above Braun’s reading level. Shane says conflict resolution is all about communication and that’s why he booked a tag match for him where his partner will be WWE management.

Shane says the only person Braun his conflict with is Adam Pearce, so that’s his partner and Pearce is shocked. Braun says that idea sucks and Shane tells him that Pearce is more than qualified. Shane tells Braun that, if he and Pearce can win, they win the RAW Tag Team Titles. Braun says that’s fine but if Pearce screws things up for him he’s gonna get his hands. Braun grabs Pearce by the lapels and screams at him.

Orton says he doesn’t know what the hell has been happening but he does know Alexa Bliss had a role to play. Orton says that, unless Alexa wants to end up like The Fiend, he suggests she move on with her life. He will show her no compassion. Alexa appears on the screen behind Orton, holding a little Jack In The Box. She says there’s something Orton should know and the lights flicker off. We see a hooded figure walk into a dark room and take his hood down and it’s Randy Orton. He speaks but it’s not his voice and he says “Randy, this doesn’t end on your terms. Soon you will come face-to-face with everything you’ve ever done.” The real Orton watches on and starts coughing up the black liquid again.

The Miz asks for the microphone before the match and he begs for logic. Miz says Bobby has waited seventeen years for this moment and he needs to do it at WrestleMania, not here. Miz tries to make his case and asks MVP, who says it’s happening right now.

Baszler says Nia and her are the two most dominant forces in WWE and this won’t be a normal road to WrestleMania. Baszler says she needs help but Nia says nobody likes Flair, and the power dynamic has shifted. It’ll be one of them challenging Asuka at WrestleMania.
