WWE RAW REPORT: HELL IN A CELL MATCH ANNOUNCED, TAG TITLE MATCH, A FEW TRIOS MATCHES, NO RAW UNDERGROUND, POOR ANNOUNCE TABLE, AND A NEW ALLIANCE IS OFFICIALLY FORMED

We are in Orlando, Florida and your announcers are Tom Phillips, Samoa Joe, and Byron Saxton.

Randy Orton is in the back and he says he didn't leave Clash of Champions with the WWE Championship.  Instead, I left in an ambulance.  I don't remember a lot from that ride, but I remember what happened in that match with Drew McIntyre.  I remember the Big Show choke slamming me through the announce table.  I remember being ambushed by Christian.  I remember Shawn Michaels kicking me between the eyes.  I remember Drew McIntyre kicking me where I kicked him and was put into an ambulance driven by Ric Flair and it forced me to lose consciousness.  In those moments, I saw nothing but complete darkness.  I felt nothing but excruciating pain.

Fast forward 24 hours and Drew McIntyre stood in the ring next to his mentors, celebrating.  Seeing Drew raising a title he didn't deserves makes me sick.  They laughed, they smiled, they played poker.  As the saying goes, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.  After the actions of Show, Flair, Christian, and Michaels took at Clash of Champions, I decided to give them an equal and opposite reaction on Raw and reintroduce them to the Legend Killer.  He wanted to make sure they felt what he felt when he was in the ambulance.  When those lights went out, they felt the same darkness and pain I did.  I treated myself to a front row seat for every second of their agony.  They looked to the right and to the left, but nothing could stop the inevitable.  Big Show started swinging his arms praying they would connect.  I sent Show through a poker table.

I went after Christian and his head was on a swivel and I snuck up to him and whispered to him 'Say hi to Edge' and I dropped him.  Shawn was next and he grabbed a chair but after I took it, there wasn't much to stop him.  Flair was grasping for the door but then I put my arm on his shoulder and Ric took his hand from the door and he turned around and met his fate.  I wish I could have seen Drew's reaction on his face when he saw what happened.  The bill will not be paid in full until I am WWE Champion.

This isn't over until I say it is over.  Drew still has HELL to pay.  I am talking to you directly.  Tell anyone who will listen that you want to cement your legacy as WWE champ.  You want that legacy so badly, it will be waiting for you if you can survive one more WWE Championship match against me . . . inside HELL in a Cell.

The door opens and Drew enters.  He pushes Randy against a wall and punches him.  Drew with punches to Orton and he asks Randy what does he know about hell.  Referees and officials pull Drew off Randy and Randy slithers out of the room.
