RAW
We open Monday night Raw after the recapping the events of last night. After the fireworks explode we cut to the crowd as JR speaks.
“Hello ladies and gentleman and welcome to what should be one the biggest Raw’s ever. We are heading full steam into Wrestlemania and what will be the fallout of the massive events of last night? We will see. Indeed AJ Styles is going to Wrestlemania, but not for the lack of trying on Shawn Michaels part as you saw. Why did Shawn do what he did? We got a bit of explanation off mic but later tonight” the graphic appears on screen “will hear from HBK Shawn Michaels and we are told AJ Styles will be here tonight. You do not want to miss that! Plus much more, here we go.”
*Play Harts*
The British Bulldog, Owen Hart and the Hart Dynasty are now standing in the ring. We are told they are to have a 8 man tag match here and have been sent out to await their surprise opponents.
*Play Undertaker*
“What?” Yells JR as the Undertaker walks out “What about the match?”
“There is no match! Don’t you see…this is why they have sent out here! To send a message” Cornette replies.
“Alone?” JR responds.
The Hart family looks on in confusion and fear as the Undertaker raises the light quickly with a snarl, his face of pure rage as he stands in the ring opposite them. As a preemptive strike the Harts runs forward and engage Taker but anger has made him even more powerful than normal and with punches flying in all directions fights them all back. He then grabs Tyson around the neck and chokeslams him to hell, he then grabs Smith and chokeslams him, now Chokeslam to Owen and then finally to Davey Boy. Chokeslams all around. He then looks down with a snarl of anger and pulls up DH Smith, hoisting him up and power bombing him from the ring to the floor. He then grabs Tyson and chokeslams him to the floor over the ropes. Then slams Owen’s face in the corner and throws him outside. And finally he tombstones Bulldog with authority.
The live crowd boos loudly as Taker stands over all of them, him face that of contempt. He then walks over slowly and orders a microphone, lifting it slowly as he looks around at the carnage he has just single handedly dealt out.
“This…this Bret Hart is your fault. Your family is now destroyed because of you and your actions. I tried to forget you after I fired your ass but you didn’t just go find work elsewhere. Instead you came back at the Royal Rumble and cost me my championship, and then when I tried to be a fair man and make a tournament for me to win back my title fairly…you took that from me as well! Shawn Michaels involvement be dammed! I know what you are trying to do Bret. You are trying get me so mad that I rehire you so I can beat your ass into a pulp at Wrestlemania. Well congratulations…you made me mad, you did that part of it. And now as your family will now speak too I am more dangerous than ever! How dare you get involved in my affairs! How dare you screw me out of what is mine! I should be main eventing Wrestlemania with the title around my waist for the second year in a row. But instead I have nothing! Nothing except the power and control I took. Well Bret you will be very pleased because I no longer care about any of that, in fact I no longer care about anything but for beating your ass for vengeance. But in order to do that I must rehire you right? Well…not necessarily. You see I will do half of it. I will challenge you to a match at Wrestlemania and put my streak on the lines…but I am only signing you to a temporary contract. One that runs out at Wrestlemania. And if you want that contract extended then you must beat me. That’s right. If you beat me, if you end my streak then I will rehire your…but if you lose, if I beat you then you are gone forever never to return to my company!” He smirks at the camera “think about it Bret. A camera crew is on the way to your house…well done in getting free again by the way. But I figure your family and friends only have so much money for bail. Oh and if you think that causing me any further distress will get you rehired before then…then you better be prepared for hard time because I promise the next time you illegally show up to my TV I will have you put away for years. But as I say a camera crew is coming right now, you have until the end of the show to film and send me your answer. I await it with great anticipation…but remember to save some of the money you will make because you will need it…for hospital bills!”
With that Taker’s music hits and he drops the mic to the mat, turns and leaves. He walks up the ramp with a scowl as the camera shows the Harts laid out, EMT’s coming to their aid as we fade to a break.
When we return it’s our opening contest The Miz takes on and defeats Booker T. The announcers react and he a Chelsea jump for joy and hug that finally Miz has gotten out of his rut. The fans even seem to be warming to him, and then he gets himself a microphone.
“It is was a extreme miscarriage of justice that I the Miz was not on the Pay Per View last night, in fact I will only laugh when the buy rates come in. Because I assure you that many people choose not to order it simply based on the fact I was on the show. However for any of you, who may right now be planning not to order Wrestlemania for just that reason, allow me to inform all of the Mizarks around the world that by winning this match the Miz will be making the Money in the Bank Ladder Match…awesome!”
With that he drops the mic, takes Chelsea and leaves as JR and Cornette react to the news.
We now cut to the owner’s office where we see the Undertaker on the phone.
“What the hell do you mean he’s not there? I was told he flew out home to Calgary last…yes he made bail! Find him or it’s your job!” Taker slams down the receiver and looks up as Daffney and Mankind as standing opposite the desk waiting for him, he grumbles and looks up at them “what?”
“About the money in the bank ladder match…after what happened to you last year. Wouldn’t it be wise to…?” Mankind begins.
“I am not the champion…I do not care!”
“Sir…”Daffney cuts in “about this Triple Threat match. Kendra can do it but…”
“It is signed! Done…”
“And the titles match? Surely we can’t let Styles and Michaels…”
“Look! I do not care! I do not care about anything accept Bret Hart and beating the hell out of Bret Hart! You both have your problems right now to, so I suggest you deal with them and leave the running of the company to the pencil pushers who care! Let them have their Wrestlemania, their title matches! I will rid the WWF of Bret Hart and then I will fix everything after Wrestlemania! Now get out before I have you thrown out!” He sits in his chair and slumps back away from the lamp light into the shadows.
“Yes…sir” Daffney and Mankind bow and leave.
Next Trish Stratus defeats Velvet Sky and as she celebrates Okerlund comes into the ring for an interview.
“Trish Stratus a good victory here and indeed a very important one last night…” he starts.
Trish pulls the mic towards her mouth “I didn’t win!”
“I know…but you still get…”
“I get the title match yes…and you know what as much as the fact I didn’t beat that big bitch eats at me. I know that I can beat both of them. And hell maybe things have worked out just right haven’t they Gene? Everything comes to head. All the wars I have had with those two all comes down to this. And I promise you that I will beat both of those big freaks and finally…finally! Get my title back. No matter the cost.”
With that her must plays and breathing hard, Trish points out at the crowd and then leaves.
When we return from break the crowd stand and begin to react as through the curtain comes chaos that had started during the break.
“Folks welcome back to Monday night Raw. During the break the Motor City Machine Guns were being interviewed” the footage is shown “when were jumped by LAX. I tell ya these two teams are not finished…picking up right where they left off in that amazing chaotic war they had last night!”
LAX and the Guns continue to brawl with each other, fists and feet flying as they head down the ramp towards the ring, sending officials and security flying in the process.
“Yeah and look at them…they should be in beds!” Cornette responds “they all have bruises and bandages from injuries they got last night but they don’t care! They just want to destroy each other!
Finally the battle spills into the ring, the crowd wild as the two teams continue beating the living hell out of each other. Just as the Guns start to get the upper hand they are joined to loud boos…by the Brood. The Brood swings chairs, drops chair on counters and they threw wild punches as the brawl now becomes three way anarchy.
“And how could we forget about them! The Guns and LAX have battled for almost as year now and all the will they we intersected and joined by the Brood Edge and Christian!”
The brawl continues to get wilder and wilder, chairs now being thrown at each other when finally Daffney’s voice cuts over the PA and she walks out on stage to boos.
“Stop it! Stop it right now! I order you to stop or you will all be fired!” The teams stop, breathing hard and holding themselves as they look up at her “Brood you should be ashamed of yourselves, the others…well its par for the chorus. But at any rate, if you six want to kill each other good! Because you need to end this! And I can think of no better place. You have battled in no DQs, tables, ladders, chair and I know you are all wondering what could be left. Well I will tell you. At Wrestlemania it will LAX VS The Machine Guns VS The Brood in the first ever three way tornado tag HELL IN THE CELL!”
The crowd goes insane, the noise deafening as the three look to her and then open mouthed around at each other. “Holy sh….wow!” JR reacts.
“Now clear the ring and take the night off. You will need it!”
With that Daffney leaves and the three teams stare each other down as we fade to commercial.
*Play HBK*
Michaels slowly makes his way out, breathing hard to himself, looking somber and nodding to the crowd mixed if still very positive reaction.
The boos are however audible as he sighs and lifts the microphone to his mouth.
“I know that many of you are upset with me, and I know that a lot of you want clear on microphone answers. I know that even after I tell you why I did what I did…I know that many of you will still be angry with me, thinking I am no better than Taker is…that’s ok. I understand” he sighs and looks at his shoes “you see two nights ago I went to bed quiet content with the promise I had made to let the best man win at No Way Out and hope that it was a member on our side. But then I had a dream, I dreamt of a World Wrestling Federation Free of tyranny…a World Wrestling Federation where I could finally lead my resistance to the promised land. Then I awoke and I didn’t sleep another wink, I tossed and I turned and I sweated the night away as I soon began to ponder what it would take to finally do that. Then I realized that if I face Undertaker at Wrestlemania I could goat him into putting it all on the line…if I got him mad enough. But in order to face him, beat his streak…which I knew I could do, and rid this company of his oppression he needed to win last night. That entire day I became fixated on the idea of facing him…of beating him. I came to the arena in Chicago last night and I watched with every else backstage hoping deep down that I my enemy would win…now had Angle won…maybe I would have changed my mind. But he didn’t and when I saw AJ win my first reaction was that of course I couldn’t screw him…or could I? I remembered what AJ did to me, and how he was the reason we had lost at Survivor Series, the reason I left and then I acted. Without question, without mercy I acted. But I didn’t count on Bret. Do I have any regrets? Only one…that I didn’t succeed. But now Bret and AJ have dashed all my hopes and I am left facing him. You see I have no regrets about screwing you because you screwed me first” the crowd reacts as HBK lowers the mic and begins to pace the ring.
*Play AJ*
AJ has a mic in his hand and red faced he steps right up to Shawn.
“Say that again…I didn’t hear you very well the first time. You don’t regret it?”
“Right” Shawn nods, staring right back.
“And if you could do it again you would make sure I didn’t win?”
“Don’t you get it! This…all of this! This hell we have all dealt will over the last several months is your fault! Had you trusted me! Had you believed in me then you would very likely be WWF Champion right now! And now you and Bret have cost me a chance to fix it! To clean up your mess!”
“What?” AJ backs off with a frown then gets up to him again “Yeah I made a mistake then…and I apologized for it weeks ago!”
“Sorry doesn’t fix it. AJ it was nothing personal last night…but personal matters made it far easier to do.”
“Oh really? Well don’t you come that crap about carrying the battle on your shoulders! You left us! You left us when we needed you most and came back when you could take the glory for yourself! The hard work…riding the waves and holding the fort here…getting our asses handed to us over and over again was myself, Angle and Bryan! We kept our own without you because we had to. You left us and we needed you! But we don’t need you anymore! You are a liability.”
“That so?” Shawn is quivering with anger now “well at Wrestlemania ‘Phenomenal One’ I will be very present when I kick your teeth down your throat! Actually…why don’t I give you a preview right now?”
With that Shawn explodes with a super kick but AJ ducks in and goes in for the attack…when security and refs hit the ring and pull apart before they can touch each other. The two seethe and yell at each other, trying to get free as the referees hold them back. Finally AJ is managed to be dragged out of the ring and the situation calmed with Daffney directing traffic as we cut to a break.
When we return Mankind is sitting in a darkened, blue lit boiler room as we push in towards him.
“Sorry for the light…but I thought what better place than this to speak of this. Chris Jericho you want vengeance upon us, more pacifically upon me! You want to cut me off after all me blood, my sweat and tears in the Royal Rumble…you want to cost me that! Well Jericho they say you have the heart of a lion…but when I am done with you! You will be the gazelle! Because last night I stalked you” he begins to rock now, his face shadowed “now I will hunt you. And then I will devour you! I will punch” he punches a boiler pipe “I will kick” he kicks the pipe! “And then I will eat your alive! You wanted to start this Jericho well we are going to get into it and I will finish it! I will finish you once and for all! Have a nice day.”
We slowly fade out back to the arena.
Then its tag team action as Mr. Anderson teams up with Wade Barret to defeat Randy Savage and KENTA. After the match everyone expects Barret to attack Anderson…but he doesn’t. Instead he grins and slides back out of the ring. Anderson looking on with a frown.
Kurt Angle then defeats MVP in quick fashion, Making him tap out. He looks angry after the events of last night, pulling his straps down and marching up the ramp to the back without so much as getting his hand raised.
As he comes through the curtain our backstage cameras spot film him as he starts to walk back to the locker room…when from the side comes Bryan Danielson.
“Hey Kurt!” He yells out stopping him and turning him around “hold on a sec. I am sorry you didn’t win last night.”
“You didn’t even get that far.”
“Hey you tried your best. And you lost for the same reason I did…he’s the Undertaker. But taking out that factor you are one of the best ever aren’t you? I mean that’s what they call you right? The greatest technical wrestler ever?”
“What’s your point?”
“Well you see Kurt…I consider myself the greatest ever. I mean I know your challenged me months ago when I had the title and you said you had no reason to now…but what if we face for another title. I mean your Mania is free so why don’t you and I wrestle to see who truly is the best technical wrestler? Or at least who is out of the two of us.”
Kurt narrows his eyes and steps up to Danielson, looking him up and down and then tilting his head up with a grunt as he says “you’re on.”
We hear the crowd react as Angle heads out of shot and Bryan smiles and nods in his direction as we go to break.
When we come back for the main event segment:
*Play Liger*
Jushin “Thunder” Liger comes out dressed as himself fully now with the IC title on his shoulder to a huge ovation. He then steps aside as…another Jushin walks out. Obviously this one who is without the title belt is the fake.
“What? What is going on here? Were they in it together all along? Wow!” JR reacts as the two come down to the ring.
Liger then gets himself a microphone as the music dies and the other Liger looks on.
“My..English very bad but I try” he speaks in broken English to a cheer “long time ago I hit my head in a fight here and woke up…then I enter into the Royal Rumble. But I far more use to Mr. Michaels and Mr. Hart as mole. So I pretend to be Kishin…Kishin however had now also agreed. We both refuse to be tools of the evil one! This man help me keep evil ones confused…he my decoy. I am sorry for confusion and lying and Kishin will be gone a long time for what he did thanks to help from brain doctors. But now I am back, Jushin is back and I know I will need to prove myself but I will make right the wrong I did!”
The crowd cheers in approval as Liger nods in respect to them in thanks for accepting him back.
*Play Undertaker*
Undertaker and Dominion march out on mass, enraged faces all around as they raise the lights and enter the ring. Taker walking over and getting a microphone as Hayabusa and Mankind especially glare at Liger.
“Let it be known Liger” he snarls as Jushin “that I am out here for Bret Hart’s answer. You will feel my full wrath for this…you can trust me on that, when our time comes. In the mean time Hayabusa will deal with you” Liger looks over as Hayabusa who stares right back with a sick smile, obviously happy with that choice “but I have to know before I have my men destroy you in a few moments and get your Japanese ass out of my ring…if you have been you all along. Then who…is the decoy? A nobody…I doubt that very much.”
Jushin raises his head; we can see a smile almost beneath the mask as he looks over at the decoy Liger. The other Jushin brings up his hands and unties the mask behind his head, releasing in and beginning to pull it off as we see Taker and the others looking on with great interest. The mask finally comes off and the crowd blows the roof of the arena, the noise rumbling the place and Taker’s eyes glowing wide as it’s…Bret Hart.
“Oh my God! It’s Hart! Oh…my….holy hell!” JR screams at ringside.
Bret lifts the microphone up and at first he does not dare to try and speak over the noise, smiling at the frenzied crowd then lifts the mic up and speaks “Taker. I accept!” With that the noise gets even louder as Bret and Liger rush forward and engages the Dominion, other fan favorites including Y2J, Savage and AJ Styles rushing into the ring and fighting them off. Shawn Michaels conspicuous by his absence from the line up.
The resistant manage to drive the Dominion into retreat now up the ramp, outnumbered and outgunned. But as he back up the ramp Undertaker scowls at Bret Hart shaking his head and shouting “It’s not over Hart! It is not over! This has just begun!”
With that the logo appears as we focus on the leaders of both sides, the show fading to black.

You have battled in no DQs, tables, ladders, chair and I know you are all wondering what could be left. Well I will tell you. At Wrestlemania it will LAX VS The Machine Guns VS The Brood in the first ever three way tornado tag HELL IN THE CELL!”
The crowd goes insane, the noise deafening as the three look to her and then open mouthed around at each other. “Holy sh….wow!” JR reacts.
“Now clear the ring and take the night off. You will need it!”
With that Daffney leaves and the three teams stare each other down as we fade to commercial.
*Play HBK*
Michaels slowly makes his way out, breathing hard to himself, looking somber and nodding to the crowd mixed if still very positive reaction.
The boos are however audible as he sighs and lifts the microphone to his mouth.
“I know that many of you are upset with me, and I know that a lot of you want clear on microphone answers. I know that even after I tell you why I did what I did…I know that many of you will still be angry with me, thinking I am no better than Taker is…that’s ok.

“Sorry doesn’t fix it. AJ it was nothing personal last night…but personal matters made it far easier to do.”
“Oh really? Well don’t you come that crap about carrying the battle on your shoulders! You left us! You left us when we needed you most and came back when you could take the glory for yourself! The hard work…riding the waves and holding the fort here…getting our asses handed to us over and over again was myself, Angle and Bryan! We kept our own without you because we had to. You left us and we needed you! But we don’t need you anymore! You are a liability.”
“That so?” Shawn is quivering with anger now “well at Wrestlemania ‘Phenomenal One’ I will be very present when I kick your teeth down your throat! Actually…why don’t I give you a preview right now?”
With that Shawn explodes with a super kick but AJ ducks in and goes in for the attack…when security and refs hit the ring and pull apart before they can touch each other. The two seethe and yell at each other, trying to get free as the referees hold them back. Finally AJ is managed to be dragged out of the ring and the situation calmed with Daffney directing traffic as we cut to a break.
When we return Mankind is sitting in a darkened, blue lit boiler room as we push in towards him.
“Sorry for the light…but I thought what better place than this to speak of this. Chris Jericho you want vengeance upon us, more pacifically upon me! You want to cut me off after all me blood, my sweat and tears in the Royal Rumble…you want to cost me that! Well Jericho they say you have the heart of a lion…but when I am done with you! You will be the gazelle! Because last night I stalked you” he begins to rock now, his face shadowed “now I will hunt you. And then I will devour you! I will punch” he punches a boiler pipe “I will kick” he kicks the pipe! “And then I will eat your alive! You wanted to start this Jericho well we are going to get into it and I will finish it! I will finish you once and for all! Have a nice day.”
We slowly fade out back to the arena.
Then its tag team action as Mr. Anderson teams up with Wade Barret to defeat Randy Savage and KENTA. After the match everyone expects Barret to attack Anderson…but he doesn’t. Instead he grins and slides back out of the ring. Anderson looking on with a frown.
Kurt Angle then defeats MVP in quick fashion, Making him tap out. He looks angry after the events of last night, pulling his straps down and marching up the ramp to the back without so much as getting his hand raised.
As he comes through the curtain our backstage cameras spot film him as he starts to walk back to the locker room…when from the side comes Bryan Danielson.
“Hey Kurt!” He yells out stopping him and turning him around “hold on a sec. I am sorry you didn’t win last night.”
“You didn’t even get that far.”
“Hey you tried your best. And you lost for the same reason I did…he’s the Undertaker. But taking out that factor you are one of the best ever aren’t you? I mean that’s what they call you right? The greatest technical wrestler ever?”
“What’s your point?”
“Well you see Kurt…I consider myself the greatest ever. I mean I know your challenged me months ago when I had the title and you said you had no reason to now…but what if we face for another title. I mean your Mania is free so why don’t you and I wrestle to see who truly is the best technical wrestler? Or at least who is out of the two of us.”
Kurt narrows his eyes and steps up to Danielson, looking him up and down and then tilting his head up with a grunt as he says “you’re on.”
We hear the crowd react as Angle heads out of shot and Bryan smiles and nods in his direction as we go to break.
When we come back for the main event segment:
*Play Liger*
Jushin “Thunder” Liger comes out dressed as himself fully now with the IC title on his shoulder to a huge ovation. He then steps aside as…another Jushin walks out. Obviously this one who is without the title belt is the fake.
“What? What is going on here? Were they in it together all along? Wow!” JR reacts as the two come down to the ring.
Liger then gets himself a microphone as the music dies and the other Liger looks on.
“My..English very bad but I try” he speaks in broken English to a cheer “long time ago I hit my head in a fight here and woke up…then I enter into the Royal Rumble. But I far more use to Mr. Michaels and Mr. Hart as mole. So I pretend to be Kishin…Kishin however had now also agreed. We both refuse to be tools of the evil one! This man help me keep evil ones confused…he my decoy. I am sorry for confusion and lying and Kishin will be gone a long time for what he did thanks to help from brain doctors. But now I am back, Jushin is back and I know I will need to prove myself but I will make right the wrong I did!”
The crowd cheers in approval as Liger nods in respect to them in thanks for accepting him back.
*Play Undertaker*
Undertaker and Dominion march out on mass, enraged faces all around as they raise the lights and enter the ring. Taker walking over and getting a microphone as Hayabusa and Mankind especially glare at Liger.
“Let it be known Liger” he snarls as Jushin “that I am out here for Bret Hart’s answer. You will feel my full wrath for this…you can trust me on that, when our time comes. In the mean time Hayabusa will deal with you” Liger looks over as Hayabusa who stares right back with a sick smile, obviously happy with that choice “but I have to know before I have my men destroy you in a few moments and get your Japanese ass out of my ring…if you have been you all along. Then who…is the decoy? A nobody…I doubt that very much.”
Jushin raises his head; we can see a smile almost beneath the mask as he looks over at the decoy Liger. The other Jushin brings up his hands and unties the mask behind his head, releasing in and beginning to pull it off as we see Taker and the others looking on with great interest. The mask finally comes off and the crowd blows the roof of the arena, the noise rumbling the place and Taker’s eyes glowing wide as it’s…Bret Hart.
“Oh my God! It’s Hart! Oh…my….holy hell!” JR screams at ringside.
Bret lifts the microphone up and at first he does not dare to try and speak over the noise, smiling at the frenzied crowd then lifts the mic up and speaks “Taker. I accept!” With that the noise gets even louder as Bret and Liger rush forward and engages the Dominion, other fan favorites including Y2J, Savage and AJ Styles rushing into the ring and fighting them off. Shawn Michaels conspicuous by his absence from the line up.
The resistant manage to drive the Dominion into retreat now up the ramp, outnumbered and outgunned. But as he back up the ramp Undertaker scowls at Bret Hart shaking his head and shouting “It’s not over Hart! It is not over! This has just begun!”
With that the logo appears as we focus on the leaders of both sides, the show fading to black.
