RAW Report

Hampton, VA
RAW this week start with Cena’s music and he comes
down to the ring looking really pissed off without his
title belt. Cena grabs a mic and waits to for the
music and cheers/heat to stop. He says he was just
announced as the WWE Champion, but as we can see he
doesn’t have the title. The title is in the hands of
Great Khali. Last week during a match with Orton
Great Khali came down, took it and left. He left and
Cena couldn’t stop him because he was knocked out in a
pool of his own blood. He was embarrassed and
humiliated. Each week he’s embarrassed when he comes
out and the fan tell him he sucks, but this is
different. He can make any excuse - he’s over seven
feet tall, four hundred fifty pounds - but he won’t.
He’s been in the ring with giants before. But Great
Khali’s different. Cena can hit him with his best
shot and he doesn’t even move. He’s never been
pinned, never submitted, barely been off his feet.
He’s taken down everyone he’s faced. He can do
whatever he wants. People are telling Cena this week
that Judgement Day is a bad idea, it will be an
execution. He might have been embarrassed, but he’s
here to tell them he’s wrong. When he’s in the right
frame of mind he’s a one man wrecking crew. He tells
Great Khali he’s signed up for the fight of his life
and he’s not talking about JD. Great Khali has
something of his and he wants it back, right now.
Up on the titan tron is Great Khali and a short
little guy. The guy says he’s Great Khali’s
translator. Great Khali speaks. The guy says no one
has accomplished what Great Khali has done the past
couple weeks. Let’s look. Video of Great Khali
taking apart HBK, and Cena. Great Khali then speaks
more. The translator says this Sunday he’ll become
the new champion. Great Khali then motions for Cena
to come get him. The guy speaks to Great Khali and
tells Cena if he wants some, come get some.
“Cena,” chants from the crowd. Cena then stomps up
the ramp and out.
Out back the translator is talking to Great Khali
when Cena rushes up and attacks. Great Khali drops
Cena. Cena gets back up and Great Khali tosses a
trash can at Cena’s head. Great Khali tosses Cena
down and then slams him into a table/pile of stuff.
Great Khali then chokes Cena against a garage door
yelling at him the whole time. Great Khali then drops
Cena to the cement and walks away.

there’s lots of heat. He say last week we saw him
last week on RAW. Then he went on to have the best
week of anyone in this industry. Video of Edge

watches. He says that as Mr. Money In The Bank he
could have cashed it in against any champ. It could
have been Cena, but he’s done that. So he cashed it
in on the best champion ever! He cashed it in on
Taker. Video of Edge covering Taker for two. Taker
tries to sit up but really can’t. Taking fights to
his feet using the ropes. He’s covered in blood.
Edge then spears Taker and covers for three.
Edge is holding his new belt high as the fans give
him heat. He says he thought about leaving RAW with
one last Edge match. First of all he doesn’t think we
deserve it. Second, Great Khali has already left the
building. Also, he has to defend it in six days at JD
against Batista. But, Edge says, he did in six
seconds what Batista couldn’t do in six months. So,
instead he’s just going to leave as our Heavy Weight
Champion.
Before he can leave HBK’s music hits and he comes out
to the stage. He smirks and then tells Edge that if
he wants to leave Edge with a lasting impression, why
doesn’t he just leave?

to face him tonight. He’s going to enjoy beating him
