The pyro to kick off the show explodes throughout the arena as the excited UWF Universe jump to their feet and cheer for the start of the show. The arena is packed to the rafters as many fans have brought along various types of signs. The cameras spin around the UWF arena showing a jammed pack arena, then go down to Michael Cole and Jerry "The King" Lawler!
Michael Cole: Good evening everyone and welcome to UWF Tuesday Night Raw. Happy New Year! I'm Michael Cole and with me as always is Jerry "The King" Lawler.
Jerry "The King" Lawler: I can't believe it Cole, it's 2013 and we're kicking it off with Raw. And even better, the Royal Rumble is less than three weeks away!
Cole: I can't wait for the Rumble. And I'm told we're going to be joined by General Manager D'Angelo Dinero who will be speaking about the Rumble right now.
Aaah!!!!
[video=youtube;K0LocRH9HUg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0LocRH9HUg[/video]
The one of a kind primal scream fills the Staples Center before the funky bass of "Catholi-Funk" starts to play. The fans cheer loudly as grey smoke engulfs the stage. Seen through that grey smoke is a silouette of a man. That man is the brand new General Manager of Raw; "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero. Dinero busts through the smoke, one arm out in front of the other as he glides down the entrance in traditional Dinero fashion.
Dinero continues his way down the ramp before reaching the bottom. He stands tall at the end of the ramp and throws both arms in the sky. There is no Dinero Drop like usual, Pope's simply basking in his return to the wrestling world. Dinero tries not to enjoy this feeling too long as he makes his way towards the steel steps and climbs each one with a purpose. Dinero soon enters the ring, where Vince hands him the mic as he exits. The new GM is left all alone in the center of the ring as the L.A fans chant "Pope is Pimpin'". This is where Dinero begins his first promo.
"Pope" D'Angelo Dinero
First and foremost, let Pope wish his entire congregation a Happy New Year! Secondly, Pope's got some business that he needs to tend to. 'Ya see, some people think that Pope can't balance both his business affairs and his personal affairs. Some people think that Pope's match aganist Dwayne is goin' over shadow the Royal Rumble. No way daddy, Pope's not goin' let that happen. Pope can assure all of 'ya that 'cause Pope is sayin' that this Royal Rumble is goin' be star studded. And wit that, allow Pope to introduce that members of the Raw roster who will be in the Royal Rumble match.
Dinero points to the titantron, which lights up and reveals the names of the Raw superstars who will be involved in the Royal Rumble.
Christian
Shawn Michaels
Mister Anderson
Curt Hawkins
Christopher Daniels
Wade Barrett
Antonio Cesaro
Now that's a good list of guys. And Pope promises that a one of those guys will win the Royal Rumble for Raw. And as we all know, the winner of the Royal Rumble Match will Main Event Wrestlemania aganist the Champion of their choice. So good luck gentlemen. And just like that, Dinero's music starts playing again and we go to commercial.

====================
Cole: Ladies and Gentlemen, it is now time for our first match of 2013. For weeks, Mankind has been claiming that it’s his destiny to become Hardcore Champion. Now, it’s time for Mankind to either put up or shut up as he challenges Christopher Daniels.
Justin Roberts: The following match is scheduled for one fall and is for the UWF Hardcore Championship. Introducing first, from the Boiler Room, weighing in at 275 pounds, Mankind!
[video=youtube;59HdFP6PptI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59HdFP6PptI[/video]
The theme music of the very deranged Mankind begins to play and the light turn a shade of hue blue. From the back walks Mankind. Resembling something of a Notre Dame esque creature, Mankind walks down the ramp as the fans give him a mixed reaction. Mankind ignores them as he makes his way down the ramp with Paul Bearer in the background screaming "YES" the entire time. Mankind continues to stagger down the ramp until he reaches the bottom and rolls into the ring and waits for his opponent.
Justin Roberts: And his opponent, from the City of Angels, weighing in at 227 pounds; he is the UWF Hardcore Champion, "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels.
[video=youtube;zK02v94cX6I]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zK02v94cX6I[/video]
"Wings of A Fallen Angel" starts playing and out walks Christopher Daniels. The fans quite don't know how to react as Daniels looks out at them. Daniels poses one more time before making his way down the ramp. Daniels reaches the end of the ramp and walks up the steps and onto the ring apron where he poses one more time.
Daniels enters the ring and waits for his opponent.

The bell sounds and the first match of the New Year is underway. As the bell sounds, Mankind leaves the ring right away and looks underneath the ring skirt. Mankind pulls out a trashcan and looks to bring it in the ring. As soon as Mankind tries to slide the trash can into the ring, Daniels delivers a baseball slide right into the trashcan, which collides with Mankind’s chest. Mankind staggers backwards, never releasing the trashcan. Daniels takes advantage of that by leaping over the top rope and performing a plancha. Daniels crashes right down onto the trashcan which crashes down onto Mankind…
Cole: Wow! What a move!
Daniels grabs his stomach and rolls around momentarily before crawling over to Mankind and covering him…
1…
2…
Mankind kicks out!
After Mankind kicked out, Daniels grabs him by the hair and lifts him to his feet. Daniels throws Mankind backwards and the back of Mankind’s head collides with the base of the announce team. Daniels pulls Mankind’s head back and crashes it into the table again. Daniels drops Mankind’s skull back onto the canvas and goes for another cover…
1…
2…
Mankind kicks out!
King: Daniels has been very aggressive in this match!
Cole: He’s the Hardcore Champion for a reason. He knows when it’s time to turn it up.
After Mankind kicks out, Daniels heads over to the timekeeper and grabs a steel chair from ringside. Daniels makes his way back towards Mankind, but by now, the Challenger has found a way to get back to his feet and delivers a boot to Daniels’ stomach. This causes Mankind to drop the chair and Mankind takes advantage. He picks the chair up before delivering a shot right into Daniels’ midsection. The chair drives all of the air out of Daniels’ body and Mankind follows it up with a shot to the unprotected shot of the Hardcore Champion. Daniels falls backwards onto the canvas and Mankind grabs him by the head before throwing him back into the ring and covering him…
1…
Cole: That maybe it!
2…
Daniels kicks out!
King: Not quite!
After Daniels kicks out, Mankind mounts him before biting his skull.
Cole: He’s biting him!
Mankind literally takes a bite out of Daniels’ before turning this into offense by removing his teeth and replacing him with his fists. Mankind throws right hand after right hand directly into Daniels; skull before the Champion pushes him off. Daniels manages to get to his feet at the same time as Mankind. The Challenger charges at Daniels blindly. Daniels is ready for him and blocks Mankind before sweeping the back leg and bringing Mankind down to the canvas with a STO. The back of Mankind’s head hits the canvas hard and Daniels goes for a cover…
1…
2…
Mankind kicks out!
Cole: Daniels with a brilliant counter that gets him back into this match!
As Mankind kicks out yet again, Daniels heads to the far side of the ring and leaps over the top rope, grabbing the trashcan that Mankind introduced earlier in the match. It’s a little dented, but it’s still good. Daniels reenters the ring with the weapon, but as soon as he does, Mankind spears the trashcan right into Daniels…
King: That trashcan has got to be worse for wear by now!
Daniels rolls around the ring in pain as Mankind gets to his feet holding his shoulder. Mankind is able to shake off the pain and grabs the trashcan yet again before throwing it down in the center of the ring. It’s obvious that he’s setting Daniels up for something. The Hardcore Champion gets to a knee and Mankind goes right after him. Mankind grabs Daniels before cradling both of Daniels’ arms ad dragging him right over the trashcan…
Cole: This can’t be good for Daniels!
Mankind seems poised to deliver the Double Arm DDT that he’s become famous for. But before he can, Daniels is able to spin out, creating distance between himself and Mankind, but never releasing Mankind’s arm. Daniels pulls Mankind in before kicking him in the stomach. Mankind is double over and Daniels is the one who now hooks both of Mankind’s arms before lifting him off the mat and dropping him on top of the trashcan with a Double Underhook Facebuster…
King: Angels Wings on the trashcan!!!
Daniels hits the Angels Wings and immediately goes for the cover…
1…
2…
3…
Justin Roberts: Here is your winner and still the UWF Hardcore Champion, Christopher Daniels!
Cole: Daniels wins the first match of the New Year and more importantly retains his title!
Daniels is handed his Hardcore Championship and his arm raised by the official. Daniels celebrates, knowing that he is on his way to becoming one of the greatest Hardcore Champions in UWF history. But just as Daniels goes to leave the ring, the lights go out…
King: What’s this?
Cole: I don’t know.
The entire arena is engulfed in darkness. It remains like this for several moments until the titantron lights up…
[video=youtube;vjm8vgJe3fY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjm8vgJe3fY[/video]
Cole: It’s that video from earlier!
King: But what does it mean?
That video package concludes and the arena goes black again. Nothing important happens until…
-Gong-
-Gong-
[video=youtube;z6YZCoFfJD8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6YZCoFfJD8[/video]
Cole: No!
The Theme music of “The Monster” Abyss begins playing and out walks the six foot eight, three hundred twenty pound monster. Abyss is all business as he heads right to the ring, never taking his eyes off Christopher Daniels. Abyss soon enters the ring and gets right into Daniels’ face. This two stare at one another before Abyss takes his massive arm and wraps it around Daniels’ throat…
King: What the…
Abyss wastes no time hoisting Daniels up into the air before delivering a ring shaking chokeslam. The entire arena boos Abyss but the monster doesn’t seem to care. Abyss is finished; he goes right after Daniels again, lifting the Hardcore off the canvas before grabbing his arm and Irish whipping him to the far side of the ring. Daniels comes back at Abyss, who lifts him off his before winding him up and powering him down with a Black Hole Slam!
King: What…what’s the meaning of this?
The body of the Hardcore Champion has been beaten and bruised. Abyss stands tall over Daniels as Mankind reenters the shot. Mankind and Abyss stare one another down before Mankind begins laughing hysterically. Mankind puts his arm on Daniels’ shoulder as the two stand over Daniels…
Cole: Is this what Mankind’s been talking about?
Mankind screams “It’s Destiny” over and over as he stands tall over the Hardcore Champion with the Monster reaction never changing…
King: With Abyss in Mankind’s corner, it may indeed be the End of The World as we know it.
The camera cuts to a close up of Abyss’ face and this is where Raw goes to commercial.

Shelton Benjamin's music begins playing as he comes out sporting a gold hair-do that makes him look like Sisqo and gold trunks. He makes his way down to the ring as some of the fans in the front row are excited but Shelton isn't paying any attention to them at all, Shelton jumps up onto the apron as he snatches the microphone from the ring announcer.
Shelton Benjamin;
Man, it's sure good to be right here in U-W-F right now. Ya see, I was just out the back and my momma is out the back too talkin' to the big bosses and they've inked me a deal. A deal that I couldn't say no to, but what is disappointin' is the fact I couldn't find myself a damn opponent tonight. But I ain't gon' let anybody interrupt my celebration, this is my ring now, this is where the big boys come out and try beat me, ain't gon' let anybody stop me 'cos I'm the 'Golden Standard'. I ain't gon' let anybody and I mean anybody try step their way and cross paths with me! Everybody 'ere wants to be Shelton Benjamin, y'see the Board of Directors couldn't resist not signing me a deal, after all I'm young, faster and in better condition then the lot of you! I mean you've got Taz of all people wrestlin' in this company and it sickens me, where's the doctor to keep people in shape? Unlike those people, I don't need no doctor! I'm going to be the talk of the town, the talk of the media when I make my ring debut 'ere! Now let me introduce y'all to my momma!
Shelton's momma makes her way down to the ring, she gets onto the steel steps as she looks back before entering the ring.
Shelton's Momma;
Shelton boy! That's not how ya speak on the damn microphone! You silly boy! Let me tell y'all about Shelton, my boy is gifted! He was sent from God, the Earth needed someone so damn good looking, all these girls continue to call me askin' for my boy Shelton 'ere but ain't nobody gettin' Shelton! Momma ain't lettin' you go baby boy! Shelton 'ere is gon' take things to the top, the money's already lookin' so darn fresh I'm gon' be able to feed ya lil' siblings Shelton boy. Ever since papa left us, we were left hang to dr-
Shelton grabs the microphone off his mom.
Shelton Benjamin;
That's enough mother... The world doesn't need to know our story. They need to know MY story, MY intentions of being in U-W-F! I don't even know what brand I'm on yet Mom, they ain't told me yet but I'm assumin' it's RAW, could be wrong but it don't matter if I'm on N-X-T or Smackdown or RAW. The intentions are the same, I'm goin' to soar to the very top and you people ain't gon' respect me or my mother? Are those boo's I hear? I ain't too worried about you people, y'all invisible to me! Ya just like my damn papa, wouldn't surprise me if he was around...
Shelton starts to get a little angry his mom takes the microphone off him.
Shelton's Momma;
Don't ya dare interrupt me again boy! Ya listen to me, ya listen to me real good 'cos I don't want ya turnin' out like Papa! Papa was a bad man Shelton, you're a good boy not a bad boy! Them people, they bad! They real bad, we only gots ourselves. Now I know we can come out 'ere and do a lot better than we are right now but you need a damn good opponent next week, we be damn hopin' for an opponent. We ain't come 'ere for nothin', Shelton boy loves his competition, loves it too much he got kicked outta elementary school 'cos he was too competitive! Ain't nobody gon' question my boy's abilities! Y'know, I saw a boy backstage, he looked like a little boy, I overheard his name was Brian Kendrick or somethin', I don't like the look of him Shelton, do y'know who that boy is? Do ya?
Shelton smiles and chuckles as Mom slaps him and tells him to get serious...
Shelton Benjamin;
Yeah Mom, I know who he is. I don't like 'im either, maybe ya can talk to the bosses and maybe tell them to give me 'im for my first match. I'm sure I can make you proud Momma, what did he say to ya?
Shelton's Mom whispers in Shelton's ear..
He said WHAT?! Oh that's it! I gotta deal with this kinda competition? Ya might as well name me the winner Mom, 'cos if I get me hands on Brian, he ain't gon' go far at all, he gon' go back to where he belong. Didn't the dude quit and then decided to come back? I'm gon' make the kid wish he never came back at all! He's gon' be embarrassed just like every other opponent that's gon' step foot in the ring with me, everyone here already knows I'm the best, in fact... the best in U-W-F alone! Enough with the boo's, this kind of competition I shall recieve right now is just a sad excuse for these nobodies to keep their job and it's my duty to remove them from such competition. As far as I'm concerned, this ring now belongs to me, not you... Not anybody! So Mr. Kendrick, I'll be seein' you soon... One way or the other, ain't nobody ever speak 'bout my momma like that! My Momma is my inspiration, she's the guidin' light that's gon' make me reach to the very top! Ain't that right Momma?
Shelton's Mom seems a lot more happier, she hugs Shelton as both leave the ring as we can hear Shelton's Momma yell out towards the audience.
Shelton's Momma;
Dat's right Shelton! An' you gon' be able to say your favorite words boy!
Shelton Benjamin;
AIN'T NO STOPPING ME!
The Rock:
Finally… The Rock felt like he would show his face around here again… but of course not live. Not live because none of you Virginians or whatever you call yourselves are worthy of it. The Rock came here and was like… wow this place smells horrible. Smells like Jersey and everyone knows Jersey smells like… well you know. The fact of the matter is… when you have a New Year’s Day show… the ratings are gonna suck so what do you do? You promote The Most Electrifying man in all of sports entertainment. You tell the world that The Rock is going to be on the show and everyone and their baby mamas are going to be making sure that they are in front of their TVs to see The Rock. So here is The Rock and The Rock is doing what he does best. Raise the ratings and get people interested.
The main interest of course is the Royal Rumble. But the focal point of the show is not the Rumble event itself… but it is The Rock. The Rock and that over inflated ego of an ass running Raw known as Dinero. The guy thinks that people are here to see him? That people want to hear him? That everyone wants to be him? Oh no. People always told him… you are looking like the next Rock. You are climbing the ladder to possibly be as great as The Rock but nobody… and The Rock means… NOBODY will ever come close to being as great as The Rock is, was, and ever will be.
The Rock:
So Dinero, The Rock knows you are listening and The Rock wants you to know… you will not ever surpass The Rock. You will not ever be greater than The Rock. Understand that at the Royal Rumble… this match is specifically designed to ensure that your delusional thought process of being better than The Rock, of being greater than The Rock, of even having a shot of coming close to the greatness of The Rock will be shattered and cease to exist. That reality will finally set in and you will have no choice but to finally accept the truth. There is none that will ever be greater and you will always be that footnote, that guy that will always be in the shadows of The Rock.
But at least this match will serve a purpose. Because Survivor Series showed that Mike Fooley could only win with your interference. But this match will show that when you go one on one with the great one… you don’t have what it takes. That pretty much you are just nothing. The equivalent of a peso. About as worthwhile as those Virginians out there that want to root you on to victory. The Rock is going to make it much much easier for all of you. The Rock says… put your hands together and cheer for The Rock. You will sleep easier knowing that finally… you have a winner to cheer for, that you have someone that you can look up to. That there is someone that you can marvel at. See as a role model. Someone that you can aspire to be, never be but always hope and dream. Something Dinero will not be able to do.
The Rock is just going to whip his candy ass like there is no tomorrow. The Rock is going to show him why he should have stayed retired and never should have got himself involved in The Rock’s business. But since he wants to be the big man on campus. Since he wants to be the man… he has one shot… one opportunity. To be The Man… you have to beat The Rock. So at Royal Rumble… just bring it… bitch.
Cole: It’s time for a match that I’m very excited for. Former Undisputed Champion Wade Barrett is back on Raw and is making his redebut tonight against Curt Hawkins.
King: Barrett may be a former World Champion, but let’s not sell Curt Hawkins short. He’s got tons of potential.

Cole: Now it’s time for our new United States Champion to be in action. It’s Antonio Cesaro versus Christian in a matchup between two of Raw’s most promising superstars.
Roberts: The following match is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, From Lucerne Switzerland, weighing 108 Kilo, he is the UWF United States Champion, Mr. Antonio…Cesaro
Suddenly a familiar song fills the arena with immediate disdain.
'WE'RE ALL LIVING IN AMERICA, AMERICA, IT'S WUNDERBAR
WE'RE ALL LIVING IN AMERICA, AMERICA, AMERICA...'
'Amerika' by Rammstien hits the PA system. Before long Antonio Cesaro steps out onto the entrance stage from behind the curtain and has the sourest of expressions plastered all over his face. Seemingly infuriated, Cesaro wastes no time walking down to the ring. He walks up the ring steps and along the outside of the ring apron and does his signature pose before turning towards the ring.
Justin Roberts: And his opponent, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 225 pounds, Christian!
[video=youtube;6717uT_97SY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=6717uT_97SY[/video]
"Just Close Your Eyes" by Story Of The Year can be heard bellowing out of the arena's PA system, signalling the imminent arrival of Captain Charisma, Christian. Although many UWF fans can be seen singing along with the theme music, it's not due to their enjoyment of the arriving Christian, rather due to the fact they just enjoy the song. Just five to ten seconds after the commencement of his theme music, Christian emerges from the back sporting a smirk on his face as he looks around at the booing audience. Christian only momentarily stands on the stage before choosing to make his way down the ramp towards the ring.
Fans can be seen hurling abuse at the charismatic man, but Christian doesn't acknowledge the jeers whatsoever, as he is focused on his objective. Christian reaches the bottom of the ramp, rounds the corner and walks up the steel steps, before approaching the ring ropes. Christian walks along the ring apron, wipes his feet and enters the ring, where he then proceeds to the opposite side of the ring and waits for the bell.

King: Christian needs to regroup. He’s got so much promise but hasn’t been focused lately.
After Christian kicks out, Cesaro grabs Christian and applies a side headlock. Cesaro makes sure that all of his body weight is put on Christian’s neck by lying horizontally on the canvas next to Captain Charisma. Christian does not let the headlock remain applied for too long as he throws an elbow into Cesaro’s midsection, breaking it. Both men get to their feet at the same time and Christian is first to strike with a standing dropkick. Christian then proceeds to go for another cover…

King: Beautiful dropkick from Christian. Let’s see if he can capitalize on it!
As Cesaro kicks out yet again, Christian gets to his feet before heading to the far corner of the ring. Christian pushes himself to the middle rope and watches patiently as Cesaro gets to his feet. Cesaro makes it up and staggers towards the corner where Christian is sitting. Christian grabs hold of Cesaro’s head before pushing himself off and spinning in midair, looking for a Tornado DDT. Antonio Cesaro uses his superior strength to push Christian off of him, causing Christian to lose grip on Cesaro’s skull and fall chest first onto the canvas…
Cole: That was a rough fall for Christian!
Christian tries to push himself to his feet after hitting the canvas. Cesaro doesn’t allow Christian to make it up. As Christian makes it to a knee, Cesaro makes his way over to him and delivers a sickening European uppercut that rocks Christian’s jaw…
King: That may have knocked Christian out!
After delivering the European uppercut, Cesaro goes for a quick cover on Christian…

OOC: I aologize for the laste show. I'm trying not to make this a habit, but the workload is rough. Bare with me. You'll have your preview after I eat.
: I laughed a bit. And that Rock promo was like it was real. While I was reading I felt like I was watching Raw and watching Rock's promo. That was a great heel promo. I learned a bit about Dinero vs Rock. I was asking to myself why was that match so important. Can anybody tell me more about that match?
