Pyros go off as the Raw theme plays.
Undertaker’s theme hits as Big Evil comes rolling down the ramp.
JR: Well everyone welcome to Monday Night Raw! King, what a way to start off Raw with the Deadman, the American Badass, the Undertaker!
King: He sure has a lot of names he goes by JR, but here’s another one, Raw’s newest superstar, the Undertaker just debuted on Raw 2 weeks ago in the Highlight Reel where he set up a jaw dropping match for Bad Blood, with none other than the host of the Highlight Reel, Chris Jericho!
JR: Well Undertaker is out here for one reason and one reason only, and that’s to sign the contract with Chris Jericho for their match this Sunday at Bad Blood!
Taker: Listen up, I came out here to get something off my chest. It seems to be that someone isn’t too happy with me, ain’t no surprise. If you are familiar with Big Evil, I don’t hide my problems, I put everything, and I mean everything on the table in front of me, I air out my dirty laundry. So without any further a due, I want my brother Kane, the Big Red Machine, to walk his big Red ass down that ramp and let’s get down to business!
JR: Looks like Undertaker gets right down to business, calling out his brother Kane!
King: …well, where is he???
Chris Jericho’s music hits as Y2J comes out of the gate.
JR: Well that sure isn't Kane, it's Chris Jericho!
Y2J: Sorry Taker, I truly am sorry to break the news to you, but, Kane isn’t here tonight. Unfortunately for you, Kane went running scared after I pinned his ass to the canvas 1…2…3! Big Evil, I know how much you wanted to confront Kane, I have been hearing this from you all week, but I really advise you, I got this advice from someone a couple months ago, never take your mind of what is really going on here, Bad Blood. Undertaker, I respect you and all, everything you have done for this business, but I don’t control what happens in the squared circle junior! This is my squared circle!
Taker: Chris, I respect you too, but you are no different than me, as much as this is your squared circle, let’s not forget, this is also my yard, and from what I am looking at boy, you are standing in the middle of it with the biggest dog of them all.
Y2J: Ah, well played Taker, but what makes you think….quite frankly…you can beat me one on one after you just saw me kick the crap out of your brother last week, no offense…
Kane’s music hits as the Big Red Machine comes down the ramp through the flames.
JR: Through hell fire and brimstone! Kane is here King, Jericho said he wasn’t in the house tonight!
King: Well you can’t always trust Chris Jericho…do you think Undertaker heard me?
Kane: Alright, Big Evil, I will get to you in just a second, I have to deal with a worm! Jericho…where in the hell do you get off? I am a monster, your skinny little body comes out here and starts talking down to me? Are you crazy? Jericho as far as last week goes you got lucky, with a damn roll up! How about you put your money where your mouth is, go one on one with me again…tonight!
Y2J: Well that’s very nice of you to offer you Big Red Jackass, but there’s no point in risking my well being with you right before I have a huge PPV match with your superior over here…the Undertaker.
Kane: …take…that…back!
Taker: What exactly does that mean? If I remember Kane, I have always been better than you, but it never bothered me and it sure as hell shouldn’t have bothered you, we are close, we are brothers…
Kane quickly gets in Undertaker’s face.
Kane: We…are…not…brothers.
Y2J: Well that’s all and well, Taker I will let you sort out your “dirty Laundry†as you say, and I will see you this Sunday…
Eric Bischoff’s music hits as Raw’s GM comes down the ramp.
JR: Oh great, just who I wanted to see! Spare me.
Bischoff: Jericho! Stop right there! Chris, just because you have a match this Sunday, doesn’t mean you have the night off! You aren’t no Bill Goldberg who got away with not competing every other week, don’t go down that path by the way Chris, because you will end up in the same place he is, at home, or in the unemployment line! Now, since we got the ratings last week thanks to your match with Kane, I am into the rematch idea, thanks to Kane, so right here tonight, Jericho, you will face Kane one on one! Undertaker, I would put you in a match, but your active ring contract begins this Sunday, but if I could I would throw you in there too! Good luck gentlemen, I got some business to attend to, I bid you good day…
JR: Kane and Jericho one more time? Tonight?!?!?
BACKSTAGE:
Coach with Randy Orton
Coach: Good evening everyone, I am the Coach here with Evolution’s Legend Killer, Randy Orton. Now Randy Orton, JR announced last week that your match with Booker T this Sunday at Bad Blood has now been changed from just a normal rematch into a Street Fight, any insight on this decision?
Orton: Coach, Booker T can bribe management all he wants, that’s what he did you know? He is nothing but a street thug looking to put the ball in his court. Booker T grew up on the streets, of course he will try to make this match a street fight, because that’s what you’re good at, isn’t it Booker? Well, news flash Booker, you aren’t no “banger†anymore, you aren’t that young gangster on the streets getting picked up off the streets every week. Booker, what I am trying to say is, I am younger, stronger, faster, than you, you might have thought you would be getting the advantage, but in reality, the way most people think, you have thrown the ball in my court, because now I can beat your ass throughout the whole damn arena. Hell, we can do it on the front street if you want, right in the parking lot, it doesn’t matter Booker, this Sunday, you lived off the streets, and now you will die on the streets!
JR: Harsh words from Randy Orton King, but I fear he just might be speaking the truth! Booker is getting up there, maybe he bit off a little more than he could chew!
King: Oh course he bit off more than he could chew, he is facing Randy Orton for crying out loud!
Rodney Mack’s theme plays as Mack appears in the ring ready for 6 Man Tag action.
The Dudley Boys’ music hits as Bubba Ray and Devon come down the ramp.
King: JR, it leaked onto WWE.com earlier today from the offices of GM Eric Bischoff. He is so generous, he gave the Dudley Boys one more match for the World Tag titles this Sunday at Bad Blood, but, it’s a Do or Die match, it’s the Dudley’s last chance at the World Tag Team titles!
Mark Henry’s music hits as the World’s Strongest Man comes down the ramp along with Teddy Long.
JR: That’s some news King, but I can top that, I talked with Theodore Long earlier and said he wasn’t done with punishing Rodney Mack, he said the wrestling world will be shaken come this Sunday when he gets revenge on Rodney Mack! What could this mean for Rodney Mack?
3 Minute Warning’s music hits as the World Tag Team Champions come down the ramp.
JR: These are two, very large, bad men coming down the ramp. They are the World Tag Team Champions Jamal and Rosey, but collectively they are Eric Bischoff’s Hench Men 3 Minute Warning!

JR: By God King, what a 6 man tag! That was smash mouth wrestling at its best, but how about that, Rodney Mack getting the pin on Mark Henry to win this match with that huge Frog Splash, what a finish that probably didn’t make Teddy Long too happy!
King: Of course it didn’t make him happy, but who cares, his surprise this Sunday will be a whole lot bigger than, and Rodney Mack is going to get what’s coming to him for sure!
JR: And what about the Dudley’s King? They have a huge last chance Do or Die match for the World Tag titles this Sunday, this must give them all the momentum they need to win back those belts!
King: Its one thing to win a 6 Man tag, winning the World Tag Team titles is a whole different story!

Terri is backstage with Gail Kim
Terri: I am here with the number one contender for the WWE Women’s Championship, Gail Kim. Now Gail, ever since you debuted here on Raw, you have been making headlines left and right in the wrestling world. Gail, now that we are 6 days away from Bad Blood where you will meet Molly Holly face to face for the Women’s Championship, Gail, with quite possibly the biggest roll in WWE history under your belt, what’s going through your head?
Kim: Well Terri, I am quite surprised as well as the fans, at what I have accomplished in such a short time. The Women’s Championship has always been my goal ever since I started out in this industry, and now that I am inches from it, it’s just surreal.
Terri: Many wrestling critics have called you an inspiration to younger female fans as well as fellow Divas, what are your thoughts on that?
Kim: I am honored Terri, I truly am, if I can inspire just one person, in my mind, my job is done. I am a pioneer trying to break into this business. I had a dream, I chased it, look where I got. All I can say, to all my fans, chase your…
Molly Holly walks into the picture.
Holly: You know Gail, I have got to tell you, you will be crawling into your shell after Bad Blood because all of this inspiration crap you are talking about will mean nothing when you lose. How will it feel Gail to let all of your fans down when you, the flavor of the month, loses this Sunday to…me, the WWE Women’s Champion, Molly Holly?
Kim: The taste of defeat is a hard pill to swallow Molly, but unfortunately, I won’t be the one taking it, and since there’s going to be only two Divas in that ring, that leaves one other Diva that will taste that bitter taste, I will leave it at that, I will see you this Sunday.

Coach is backstage with Jeff Hardy
Coach: Jonathan Coachman here with the Intercontinental Champion Jeff Hardy. Now Jeff, the wrestling world was shocked last week after Batista interrupted you in the ring, let alone challenging you for the Intercontinental Championship, but your title isn’t the biggest thing on your plate in this match is it?
Hardy: No Coach, no it isn’t, you see, Batista supposedly knows who took me out a couple weeks back at Raw’s 3 Hour Spectacular, however, he kept his lips closed and just parted them to get a title shot out of me in exchange for this information, so I accepted…
Coach: Well I have been hearing from fans all week, they asked if Jeff Hardy can trust Batista, any insight on that?
Hardy: Well Coach, he is a member of Evolution, and if Evolution is known for anything, it’s playing dirty, after all, like Triple H says “Evolution was built around Ric Flair,†I still don’t believe that, but Batista, I don’t know, he isn’t like the rest of those scum bags, I believe he is telling the truth, he might have crossed the line a little but I can deal with that, win or lose, at Bad Blood, I will get the answer I am looking for.
Batista’s music hits as Evolution’s Animal comes down the ramp.

Last week right before Raw went off the air, Triple H came out and announced that Ric Flair would be LIVE via satellite tonight, as a matter of fact, we are just about to get the first words from the Nature Boy since the 3 Hour Spectacular…Ric., you there, can you hear us?
Ric Flair appears on the screen sitting at his home with a neckbrace on.
Flair: Yes JR, I can hear you.
JR: Well Ric, greetings from all of us from Monday Night Raw, how you feeling Ric?
Flair: Well, JR, it’s been getting better as days, weeks, pass. Everyday I can’t help but to think of all my fans I am letting down by not getting the chance to be there performing out there with all the other guys, it is ripping me apart inside.
King: I am sure it is Ric, you have been away for so long, but I got to tell you, WWE.com has been getting so many e-mails and messages asking about Ric Flair, the fans are really concerned, they have so many questions, but JR and I, have some as well…
Flair: Go for it Jerry…
King: Well, the number one question I have been hearing all week, concerns, the current World Heavyweight Champion, HBK Shawn Michaels. What are your thoughts on what happened at Raw’s 3 Hour Spectacular.
Flair: What exactly do you mean Jerry? How Shawn Michaels struck me with the sledgehammer, or how Triple H was going to destroy Michaels with the very same hammer? Listen, it can go either way, Jerry, but I am looking past that, because everyone is at fault here, but who got the worst end of it? You are looking at him jack; the Nature Boy pulled the short straw here.
JR: Point taken Nay-tch, with that said, if all this is behind you, what’s next for Nature Boy Ric Flair? When, if at all, do you plan on coming back to the flagship of the WWE?
Flair: JR, that’s a question I can’t…you know my neck, ow…my knee has been actin’ up…my back isn’t what it…you know what?
Ric springs out of his chair and rips off the neckbrace.
Flair: WOO! Damn it feels good to get that blasted thing off, the Nature Boy is not dead ladies and gentlemen! The Wheelin’, Dealin’, Kiss Stealin’, Limousine Ridin’, Jet Flyin’ Son of a Gun will ride again JR. WOO! To answer your question…
Ric Flair struts his way back and fourth in front of his recliner chair in his living room.
Flair: …The Nature Boy is coming back, sooner than you think old top! This is a message to you JR, Jerry, all the WWE fans, hell, even Shawn and Hunter, be sure to keep an eye out for the Nature Boy because I am comin’, trust me! This Sunday, I hear you are havin’ a little PPV, well, I will tell you something, I am booking a flight and the Jet Flyin’ Ric Flair will fly out first class first thing tomorrow and be there for Bad Blood, and I swear, as God as my witness, I will be ringside for that World title match! Shawn, Hunter, be ready, because the Nature Boy is coming back, and I will make damn sure the right man walks out of Bad Blood with the World Heavyweight title, boys, let the best man win…see you Sunday.
