- Tonight’s WWE RAW opens up with Alberto Del Rio getting out of his car in the arena as Ricardo Rodriguez introduces him. Michael Cole welcomes us to RAW from the University of Tennessee as Del Rio makes his way to the ring. We go to Jerry Lawler and Josh Matthews at ringside with Cole in his Colemine.
Del Rio tells us who he is and says his destiny to be World Champion was stolen by Edge. Del Rio says destiny can be delayed but not stopped. He says last week should have been a celebration for his arrival to RAW, not The Rock’s birthday. Del Rio says John Cena may be the WWE Champion, but nobody is better than him. Del Rio says he should face Cena for the title. Rey Mysterio’s music hits and out he comes.
Rey comes to the ring and challenges Del Rio to a contender’s match tonight. The Miz’s music interrupts Del Rio and out comes Miz with Alex Riley. Miz says Teddy Long’s incompetent decision making led to things like this on SmackDown, but they don’t fly on RAW. Miz says RAW is still his show and the WWE Championship is still his. Miz says he would be WWE Champion if it weren’t for Riley last week. Del Rio says Miz had his chance but didn’t get the job done and tells him to go to the back of the line. Miz says he pinned Cena and was announced champion last week until the prejudice referee reversed the decision. Miz defends his actions from last week and wants a legitimate rematch against Cena. He says Rey and Del Rio can fight in a Taco Bell parking lot for all he cares. R-Truth comes walking out with no music but a voice-over that says “The truth has set me free.” Truth heads down to the ring.
Truth is going to spill some hate of his own since everyone else is. Truth says he hates hospital food. Truth says John Morrison is eating a lot of hospital food right now because last week, Truth did this… and shows replays of the attack last Monday. Truth says he has no problem making sure everyone else in the ring is hooked up to the same IV as Morrison. Truth puts down Del Rio, Miz and Mysterio, calling Del Rio a Mexican fence jumper. Truth says when an angry Black man is speaking, the fans need to shut up. Truth goes on and is interrupted by the e-mail alert from RAW’s General Manager. Michael Cole announces that the GM only finds three stars worthy and there will be a triple threat tonight. It will be The Miz vs. Alberto Del Rio vs…… the e-mail alert goes off again. The GM got so excited that he hit send too quick. The third competitor in the match will be Rey Mysterio. Truth is pissed off that he wasn’t picked for the match again. Truth says he is better than everyone else, especially Mysterio. Truth gets in Rey’s face. Rey says the GM is right – Truth shouldn’t be in the match, and that’s the truth. Truth throws the mic down and leaves the ring upset. Truth walks to the back and The Miz starts talking.
Miz says it doesn’t matter what they did on SmackDown because they are day laborers here on RAW. Miz says the next WWE Champion is going to be… Ricardo cuts him off and says Del Rio’s name. Riley lays out Del Rio and Ricardo dropkicks Riley. Miz and everyone gets involved. Rey leaps out on the floor onto Del Rio. Miz and Riley flee up the ramp as Del Rio recovers on the floor, Rey stands tall in the ring and we go to commercial.
