Was last week an anomaly in the WWE where Daniel Bryan got the upper hand on Triple H and his minions? Who else is in on the conspiracy to make Triple H look bad? Does it start from within? What will happen as we move closer to Battleground where we will have a WWE Champion? What will Vince McMahon do?
We are in Chicago, Illinois and your announcers are John ‘I feel like I am working with the Cubs on commentary’ Layfield, Michael ‘Iron Clad’ Cole and Jerry ‘Will the Cup be successfully defended this year’ Lawler.
The Raw 10 are on the stage, but they are not the focus because Triple H and Stephanie McMahon make their way past the Raw 10 and to the ring.
Triple H and Stephanie welcome everyone to Raw. Hunter points out that the ten men who were in the ring with Daniel Bryan at the end of last week’s Raw are on the stage.
Hunter says that there has been speculation on social media over what will happen to these ten men. Hunter says that he asked all of them to stand on the stage for one simple reason. Stephanie thanks all of them for taking matters into their own hands. She thanks them for stepping up to the plate for finally being men.
Hunter thanks them for stepping up. It had nothing to do with Daniel Bryan or the fact that Daniel was in the ring.
Rob Van Dam tells Hunter, dude, that the fact is that they were fighting for Daniel Bryan. Rob says that Hunter would have done the same to them.
Hunter says that he finds it hard to believe that they were fighting for Daniel Bryan. He thought WWE Superstars did not fight with champions, they fight to be champion. Hunter asks Dolph if he was fighting for a guy who squandered so many title opportunities instead of for himself.
Stephanie asks Truth the last time he had a title match. What about Zack Ryder? They should be the face of the WWE. Stephanie says that they do not have that championship opportunity. Hunter says that it is because of The Shield.
The Shield has run roughshod on the place since they entered the company. They have defeated everyone on the stage. He can sense the frustration among everyone. It has nothing to do with Daniel Bryan. The show of unity had to do with frustration with the Shield. They will get to take that frustration out tonight.
Darren Young, Titus O’Neil, The Usos, Rob Van Dam, Dolph Ziggler, Kofi Kingston, Zack Ryder, R Truth, and Justin Gabriel the opportunity to take that frustration out tonight. They will be in an elimination handicap match against the Shield. They will have a partner. Hopefully a partner they will care about so much about them as they do with him. The man who thinks that he should be the face of the WWE. Their partner will be Daniel Bryan.
Stephanie says that this will be the first ever 11 on 3 handicap match. Stephanie also wants to thank the WWE Universe. Everyone will get to choose to see who faces Randy Orton tonight. Will it be R Truth, Dolph Ziggler, or Rob Van Dam.
Hunter says that is what is best for business.
