[video=youtube;bH-oiTm6Ia0&]bH-oiTm6Ia0&[/video]
Cole: And here comes the chairman right now!
Trump makes his way down the ramp to the delight of all the fans. He glides up the ring steps and slowly into the ring. As he's there he's given a microphone, and he wastes no time before talking to the fans.
Trump: Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to a new era... in Monday Night Raw. Now, first of all, just so you know this is now my business that no expense will be spared! Anything I want to see here, I will get here! Now... onto tonight.... and three weeks time. In three weeks, our first Pay Per View, Over The Limit, is going to be a benchmark to where we are as a company. Now... the theme music is going to be supplied... and live by the way..... by none other than by legendary rock band... Linkin Park!
The crowd cheer the popular band and the chance of seeing them live at the PPV.
Trump: You like that huh? Well...-
NO CHANCE!
Interrupting Donald Trump is the inter-promotional enforcer Vince McMahon.
Vince McMahon: hold on just one second Trump! These people don;t care how far your money stretches.... they want to see matches! Titles! They want to see high flying action! Is that something you even thought about Mr. Wrestling Owner?
Trump: Vince.... I'm not a multi-billionaire for nothing. And this is what's going to happen tonight! 8 men will have the chance to qualify for the XWA Title Match that I'm going to have at Over the Limit. There will be four one on one matches. The four winners qualify. But these will also be under beat the clock conditions! Now, whoever wins in the fastest time gets to choose the match type at Over The Limit! Now... the four matches, are as follows.....
Alberto Del Rio Vs. Jeff Hardy
AJ Styles Vs. CM Punk
Wade Barrett Vs. Triple H
John Cena Vs. John Morrison.
So Vince... if you excuse me... I have this covered.
Vince McMahon: Four matches don't make a show Trump.... which is why tonight, we will see a new champion.... a new Intercontinental Champion.... and it will be an eight man elimination match, between Chris Jericho... Chris Masters... Sin Cara.... Heath Slater... Dolph Ziggler..... Kane.... Robbie E.... and R-Truth. And... if your name was just called... get out here, because thats the first match of the night!
Vince is waiting for the superstars to make their way to the ring when all of a sudden....
AWWWWWWWWWWWWESOME!
"I Came To Play" comes out and out walks The Miz. He stands at the top of the ramp with a mic.
The Miz: Really? Really? Is this how it's going to be... the restart of Raw and you don't involve the Miz... at all?! Well.... if I just introduce you to someone on my cell phone a second....
The Miz puts the cell phone against the mic and someone starts talking.
???: Whats up playa? Teddy Long here, Smackdown's general manager. Now, seems as you don't want to use a talent like The Miz on your show, then I've taken it upon myself to offer him a better contract on Smackdown! Holla holla holla!
The Miz puts the phone down, and waves at the Raw crowd and leaves.
Michael Cole: Teddy Long has stolen a must see champion from under our noses!
Jim Ross: underhanded tactics but he was indeed over looked for tonight!
By this time we are ready for the first match.
