WWE RAW SEASON PREMIERE REPORT: THE SMACKDOWN HACKER IS REVEALED, JORDAN "THE DOOR MAN" HAS A NEW JOB, A NEW MATCH FOR HIAC, LEE/STROWMAN, AND MORE

We are back and Charly Caruso is in the back and she is with Drew McIntyre.

She asks Drew about his first Hell in a Cell match against a veteran in this type of match.  Drew wants to talk directly to Randy and he says from the first moment I met you when I was 20 years old, it was obvious that you are the most evil and self entitled person in WWE.  You are very intelligent.  When I slammed that ambulance door closed, I should have left you in the past.  Then the next night, you saw me in the ring celebrating with four legends and you had to ruin that.  You knew how I would react.  I have a temper issue and you took advantage of it.

Hell in a Cell, a match made for injury.  A last resort.  You are made  for this type of match.  Against any other superstar, you would have  a huge advantage, but I am not an average superstar.  There will be no honor and no respect.  Experience is a factor, but I have gone through hell and I will go through hell to stay champion.  Drew says he was asked if he was going to a funeral because he is wearing black, and maybe I am.  I hear you have an interview later, maybe I will show up.

Kofi Kingston says for the first time in four years, the New Day are your Raw Tag Team Champions.  A lot has changed since then.  Xavier says a lot has changed in four years, and even in one year.  He tore his Achilles and then he couldn't wrestle, then 2020 has been a garbage year, and then he came back but they got split up from Big E.

Kofi tells him to breathe and Sheamus' music plays.

Sheamus says what he saw on Smackdown was embarassing.  You are two-thirds of the New Day since Big E is on Smackdown.  You are going to end up on the wrong end of a Brogue Kick.

Kofi says because they are on a different brand than Big E, it doesn't mean that the New Day is over.  It means Big E holds it down on the blue side while they hold it down on the red side.  It means we get to spread our seed (Xavier says of positivity).

Sheamus tells them to shut up and look at reality.  The power of positivity is not reality.  You are both divided and divided you will fall.

Xavier says you talk about fallen, but didn't Big E drop you on a car hood.  Didn't he drop your ashy ass on a hood?
