WEEELLLLLLLL It’s The Big S—nevermind.
RAW starts hot with Brock Lesnar and Heyman! Heyman seems upset, for some reason. He says he is sorry, he can’t do it. It’s their job to hype us on Mania, and although he will gie credit where it’s due; this is the most stacked Mania lineup in decades, but the main event is a sham. He calls us Pavlovian dogs, and my salivary glands prove him right; although, I think it’s more for food than it is for Drew McIntyre.
Heyman calls Drew a fraud. He’d like to examine why we cheer for Drew. He brings up the Rumble, and Brock’s demolishment of 15 other dudes. He brings up Drew punching the nuts of Brock and wininng the Rumble. Heyman offers no excuses that the Claymore kick eliminated Brock, but how in the hell does that tell us that Drew can pin Lesnar. The next time lesnar lays his hands on Drew, it’s over in a snap. Why? Because Drew McIntyre is nothing more than a stupid big bitch that’s going to get squashed
Here comes Drew…
Heyman leaves the ring as Drew enters. Brock smirks, tells Drew he’s going to wait. But it’s a lie, and he runs towards Drew. Drew hits him with a Claymore! Brock is laid out!
Drew leaves the ring with a smile as Brock stirs in the ring with Heyman hovering over him like a Palovian dog…
YOU DESERVE IT chant for Brock from Brooklyn as he and Heyman leave the ring, tails tucked.
Brock cowers up the ramp with Heyman as the crowd sings good bye to him.
DREW IS BACK!!! ANOTHER CLAYMORE!!! CROWD IS HYPED AF!!! DREW HOLDS THE TITLE UP AS THE CROWD ASKS FOR ANOTHER ONE!
DREW GIVES IT TO THEM!!!!

Backstage, Charley talks to an angry Seth Rollins. He says most stars have got to ask, but he’s not most. He demands. At Elimination Chamber are taking on The Street Profits and taking back the titles. As for Kevin Owens, he can name the time and place and stipulation, because when Seth gets his hands on Kevin Owens, he will be crucified.
Ricochet is here, but he lost against Brock, so who cares about him?
The answer is the fact that this match is for the 24/7 Championship…

AJ Styles is here after the break. He is not in a good mood. He should be out here with a beautiful trophy. Someone deprived him of that honor. The Undertaker. Have we heard Hollywood? There’s a video by Mark Wahlberg trying to give AJ Styles advice. AJ shows us said video…
This totally has nothing to do with Wahlberg releasing a movie called Spenser Confidential soon. Marky Mark tells AJ to walk away.
AJ will not take Mark’s stupid advice, because it seems to him he is on a collision course with Taker. He’s got a match with Aleister Black tonight, and after what he does to Black, e wants Taker to consider it a warning. Taker is a legend, and he’s just trying to hold onto the spotlight that isn’t his anymore. It’s AJs.
Apparently, there’s a contract that Black signed claiming that in order to get to AJ, he’ll have to face Karl Anderson.

But of course, AJ has the mic, and says that there is a contract stipulation where he must go through Gallows as well. Of course.

Beth Pheonix is here to give us an update on her hubby, Edge. Before she can, Orton’s music hits. He’s out to offer Beth a handshake…or a hug It’s unsure. Beth isn’t down either way, though. Orton sits in the corner, allowing Beth to speak.
She says this is great; because if anyone here needs to hear this, it’s Orton. She is there as a wife, because she needs her husband. She is there as a mother because her kids deserve their father. Maybe there are possibilities that—
Orton hops off the corner and gets close to Beth, circling, then asks for a mic.
Orton knows what she’s going to say. There are no possibilities. It is certain that Edge will never wrestle again. Orton owes her an explanation. He will give her one. But first, he’s got a story. In 1999, in October, WWE had a live event in St. Louis. His father took his 19 year old son to meet a couple of agents. They were backstage. Randy was sa fan. He grew up in this business, but at this point, at 19, he was just a fan, and to be backstage and to see HBK, Austin, Foley, but the one man that came up to his father to show respect…was Edge. He shook Orton Sr.’s hand and Randy was beaming with pride. Edge told him he was one of the best bad guys in the history of this business. Edge told his father Orton Sr was one of the reasons he came into the business. Orton’s father introduced him to Edge, and Edge shook his hand, thanked him, said good luck, that maybe, just maybe ,one day, they could work together in this ring. That motivated him, and he went from insecure to confident.
Years later, Edge and he were battling all over the world for the IC Title and stealing the show every night. Years later ,they started Rated RKO and became tag team champions, and just when things couldn’t get any better, Orton flew too close to the sun, hit a rough patch, and made some very poor life choices. He dug a hole so deep, that he should have been buried in it, but he wasn’t because Edge pulled him out – saved his life – made him realize there more to life. Kids, family, teaching his son how to be a man, how a man should treat a woman. Edge saved his life. What he did, was he returned the favor. At the Rumble, when Edge’s music hit, after nine long years, it was such a great feeling. But it wasn’t a one-off. The next night, orton realized that Edge though he was back for good – that he was going to start competing. Orton knew better. Someone was going to put Edge in a wheelchair, or possibly worse.
Orton wanted Edge’s kids to have a father. Thanks to Orton, he’ll be there, go on hikes, ride bikes, and all that because of Orton. He loves Edge, loves Beth, and loves her two little girls. Here’s the sad truth: Everybody blames him for what he did to Edge. Everyone thinks it’s Orton’s fault, but it’s Beth’s. She is an enabler. She enabled Edge. Edge is a junkie for the roar of the crowd, and she did nothing to stop it, to help him, so he had to step in. He had to make sure Edge went on to be a father.
Orton says that saying outloud makes him realize something – he loves Lyric and Ruby, her two daughters, and Edge, more than Beth ever could.
Truth hurts, don’t it?
Beth straightens her face, scowls, then slaps orton across the face. Orton tosses the mic hard. He puts his hands on his knees, stands, turns to face Beth fully, then looks her dead in the eyes and….BETH KICKS ORTON! ORTON WITH AN RKO!!!!
