WWE RAW REPORT: A TRIO OF TRIOS MATCHES, LEGENDS START OFF EACH HOUR, CHANGES TO HELL IN A CELL, SOMEONE RETURNS TO THE RING, AND A REUNION YOU DIDN'T EXPECT

By Richard Trionfo on 2015-10-19 23:00:53
We are back and Shawn Michaels makes his way to the ring.

Shawn says if making that run hard enough, he apologizes for borrowing some pizza from a kid in the front row and he got a piece lodged in his mouth.

Shawn says Hell in a Cell is coming. He has been in a cage and he has been in a cell. Those pale in comparison to being inside Hell in a Cell. Shawn says many years ago, he was in the first ever Hell in a Cell. Shawn says he has been hit in the head so many times that he cannot remember, so he is reminded it was the Undertaker.

Shawn points out that eighteen years later, Undertaker is going to step into Hell in a Cell to face Brock Lesnar. Shawn says that will probably be the last time ever.

Shawn mentions there is another Hell in a Cell match. After weeks of ridicule from Bray Wyatt, Roman Reigns will get the opportunity for redemption against Bray Wyatt in Hell in a Cell.

Seth Rollins’ music plays and he makes his way to the ring.

Seth and Shawn get face to face in the ring and the crowd wants Shawn to return to the ring.

Seth wants to know what the hell is Shawn doing out here. Shawn knew what he was supposed to do when he came out here. He was supposed to introduce the man, the WWE Champion. Seth tells Shawn that he was supposed to start off the second hour of Raw by introducing Seth Rollins.

Shawn says that for 20 plus years, he has been given instructions in the back and when he comes out . . . poof they are gone. Shawn says that he decided to come out and have fun with the people out here. They were having fun until you ruined it Seth.

Seth reminds Shawn the orders didn’t come from him, but from Shawn’s best friend Triple H. If you don’t want to do what your friend wants, then you can deal about it. Brock Lesnar and Undertaker are old news. If you want to talk about Hell in a Cell, that is fine. You need to talk about the man who is going to stop the show. You need to talk about the champion who has faced all comers and destroyed them. You need to talk about the guy they are calling Shawn Michaels Version 2, but he is better than the original. You need to be talking about Seth Rollins.

Shawn says if he had a nickel for every guy who was supposed to be the next him, he would be a billionaire. Shawn says that is what you guys do. You aspire to be the next Shawn Michaels. You are perfectly happy being called ‘version 2’. Shawn says it never occurred to him to be the second coming of anybody. Shawn says that was because he was too busy becoming the greatest wrestler who ever lived.

Shawn says there is a seven foot demon chasing you everywhere and he is about to get you.

Seth says he is not afraid of Kane. Seth says he has been a fan of Shawn his entire life, but you are jealous because Seth says he had a Wrestlemania moment that surpassed him. At Hell in a Cell, Kane will be laying on his back like everyone else who attempted to take the title from him.

Seth wants them to hit his music.

Shawn says the worst thing about being a ‘version 2’, they don’t play your music. When you are the original, things are different. Shawn tells Seth he has a match and it is next. Shawn tells Seth he will be facing music.

Shawn asks for his music to be played.
