WWE RAW REPORT: TONIGHT IS NOT A NIGHT FOR MAKING FRIENDS, GUNTHER ASKS FOR A CHALLENGER, SHAYNA AND ZOEY WANT THEIR CHANCE, CODY TAKES THE OFFENSIVE, DREW CONTINUES TO TELL THE TRUTH, AND MORE

R Truth is in the CLUBHOUSE and Miz, Ciampa, and Gargano show up and Truth says he is in here reminiscing about the good ole days.  Miz says they are going to get revenge on THE Judgment Day and Ciampa says he has a plan and he asks Truth if HE IS READY.  Truth says they are Regeneration X.  Miz says that is what is up and it is Awesome.

Drew McIntyre makes his way to the ring.

Drew says they did it and he says he wants to acknowledge everyone who prayed for Drew to win.  It is because of you it happened.  Drew McIntyre versus Seth Rollins at Wrestlemania.  Drew says he is jet lagged.  He was the first man in the chamber and the last man standing.  He says his eardrum burst and he was told he was hurt and might not make Wrestlemania.  Drew asked the doctor who does he think he is . . . CM Punk?  There is no way he is missing Wrestlemania.  Drew sits on the mat and he tells Punk he knows it hurt him not to be a part of Elimination Chamber or Wrestlemania.  He says he thought about Punk and wanted to do something special for Punk.  Since you are straight edge, Drew says he drank twice as much on the way home.

Drew turns his attention to Seth Rollins and he asks Seth to come to the ring.

Seth makes his way to the ring.

Drew points to the Wrestlemania sign.

Seth says they will get to that, but Seth welcomes everyone.

Seth congratulates Drew on winning.  He clawed his way back into a title match.  This time you have the opportunity to do what you have wanted to do since 2020.  You can win the World Title in front of a live crowd.  There is one thing standing in your way. 

Drew says Seth is in the way of him winning the title.  It is not easy to beat Seth and he says Seth doesn't need to add himself to everything with Cody, Roman, and the Rock.  Why are you going to Smackdown to fight their battles when you are needed on Raw.  Drew says he does not care when he is champion and if they are on fire, he won't pee on it to put out the fire.  Drew tells Seth not to go down the path with the Bloodline because he knows what is going to happen.  If you get involved, they will get involved in the match at Wrestlemania and cost you the title so Drew can celebrate his victory.  He tells Seth to back off.

Seth tells Drew he respects everything that Drew said, but respectfully, some risks are worth taking.  Seth says Drew has known him for a long time.  Everything you have said, Seth says he has thought about.  He has played out all of the negative outcomes and the truth is that Drew might be right.  He says his knee might not be ready.  His back could give out.  The Bloodline could leave him broken and Wrestlemania might be an easy night for you.

What if you are wrong?  Seth says some risks are worth taking.  He says he has been selfish in his career and in his life.  He thought the goal at the end of the road would fill that void, but when he got there, he felt empty inside.  It wasn't until he had his daughter that he realized that some things are bigger than him.  Bringing down the Bloodline is bigger than them.  If they don't take care of the Bloodline, what happens?  They will come after Drew for the World Title. 

Seth says what if he is at 100 percent and they can rip apart the Bloodline and secure the future of this industry.  If they can do all of that, Wrestlemania will just be the two of them and the World Title.  Seth tells Drew may the best man win.  He says some risks are worth taking.

After the match, Paul Heyman comes out and introduces himself and he has three men with him.

Cody gets a chair.

Cody says he doesn't give a damn what Paul's name is.  He says if it is a Bloodline set up, come on down.

Paul says this isn't a Bloodline set up.  He says he is the only member of the Bloodline here tonight.  Do you see a drop of Polynesian blood in this lineup.  The answer is no.  These are his friends from the NYPD.  They are off duty . . . suspended, but that is a different story.  He says he schlepped out here to California to let Cody know that no one is asking for an apology.  It must be insulting to get Will Smithed across the face.  You need to take the Rock's name out your fricking mouth.  Paul says Roman Reigns has authorized him to say that if Cody backs off his challenge to the Rock.  Paul says he forgives Cody but the Rock won't.  Paul says he is asking and pleading and begging with Cody to please . . . pretty please . . . with a cherry on top to withdraw his challenge from the Rock . . . or else.

Cody sits down in the center of the ring.  He asks Paul or else what?  He says he hasn't trashed Dwayne in the media because they were fans of The Rock.  How could you not be?  He says every meal was determined by tickets sold and no one sold more tickets than The Rock.  He says he is sick of being nice.  If it is a Bloodline set up, come and get him.

Paul says he has a better idea.  He has his friends get on the apron.

Paul asks if he can enter the ring and Cody says he may not.  The other men get in the ring and they surround Cody.

Cody says he will make this clear.  If one more person makes a step towards him, he is dropping everyone in this ring. 

Paul says he respects that as much as Paul says that threat does not apply if it means him.  Cody hits the black clothed men with the chair and then he hits one with CrossRhodes.  Cody tells Paul to send them.

Paul calls Roman Reigns and the Rock on his respective phones.

Cody says the Bloodline is not hunting him, he is hunting the Bloodline.

Paul backs up the aisle.

Cody continues to hit the men with the chair and he sends them out of the ring.
