The usual pyrotechnics display opens up Monday Night Raw and we are greeted by Josh Mathews and Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler. They reveal that tonight, Randy Orton will test his current state of injury as he takes on Michael McGillicutty.

The Main Event is made
The WWE Champion, The Miz interrupts them, coming out alongside Alex Riley. He gloats about what he did last week on Raw. He shows us a recap of what happened and we see The Miz hit John Cena with the Skull-Crushing Finale and then celebrate like The Rock in mocking fashion. Suddenly, John Cena come out to stop this and tells The Miz that if he wants to make an impact, then he needs to stop going from behind, and do it to his face! The crowd pop, but Miz laughs it off, saying if he wanted to, he would do that anytime, any place. John Cena thinks about it and then says “Why not now?!” before storming towards the ring. The Miz jumps into position and is ready to fight, but before Cena can reach the ring, the Anonymous General manager e-mails in. Jerry Lawler reluctantly reads it, saying that if John Cena touches The Miz right now, he will forfeit his WWE Championship Match at WrestleMania. The crowd boo. Lawler then reads that the GM is fed up of all this fighting outside of matches, so he is booking a Tag Team Main Event for tonight. It will be the WWE Champion, The Miz and Alex Riley versus John Cena and a partner of his choosing. The Raw theme plays as The Miz and John Cena share an intense stare-down. We then fade to a commercial break.

Commercial Break.

Evan Bourne def. Sheamus
Last week, Sheamus ambushed Bourne following his return victory. This week, Bourne sought revenge, and he got just that as he somehow managed to put the Celtic Warrior away with Air Bourne.

After the match, Bourne left in celebration as Sheamus looked on in anger. We then fade backstage.

We see Michael Cole on his phone speaking to someone.. He tells them he’s going to out to the ring in a second, and the person should wait for their cue to come out. Nobody knows who he is talking about, and Jerry Lawler seems confused too. Cole puts the phone down with a huge grin on his face. We then fade to a promo package.

We see a promo package for WWE WrestleMania XXVII. It is shown to the theme of “Written in the Stars” by Tinie Tempah ft. Eric Turner. We then cut to a commercial break.

Divas Champion, Eve def. Melina via Disqualification
This was a good match until Vickie Guerrero and Lay-Cool decided to get involved. They attack Eve with malicious intent, forcing the referee to call for the bell.

They continue to beat down the Divas Champion, but Trish Stratus and Kelly Kelly come to make the save. However, Vickie and Lay-Cool flee before they can be touched. Trish Stratus grabs a microphone and says that if Vickie Guerrero wants to keep getting involved in matches, then why doesn’t she have one of her own before WrestleMania. She officially challenges Vickie Guerrero to a Lumberjill Match, next week on Raw! The crowd pop, and after much conferring with Lay-Cool, Vickie finally screams “I accept!”. Trish looks on, saying she’ll get her next week as we fade to a promo package.

A very special talk-show
We return to see the entrance of Michael Cole and William Regal. They enter the ring which is set up in the same way as The King’s Court used to be set up. Jerry Lawler looks on in anger as Michael Cole shows off the set. Cole speaks, saying that he welcomes everyone in the WWE Universe, including The King himself to a very special edition of The King’s Court. He says that tonight, it will be a special show about Jerry Lawler’s lackluster career. The crowd give him a lot of heat and Josh Mathews attempts to calm Lawler down, saying that Cole is trying to get to him. Cole says that he is going to start off by mentioning a few career highlights, despite there being very few. He points to the titantron, and a shot of Jerry Lawler stood alongside Cheesy, Sleazy and Queasy pops up. Cole states that this is a career highlight of Jerry Lawler, being used as the joke that he is. He says that Cole clearly isn’t alone in thinking Lawler is a joke, because the WWE clearly did too. Next, he puts up a shot of Jerry Lawler in the ring with Andy Kauffman. Cole states that this is just one of many pieces of evidence to show Lawler’s craving for spotlight. He says he couldn’t just sit back and let anyone looking for popularity have their chance to shine, Lawler had to be involved and ruin their moment. Finally, he bring up a shot of The King and Jim Ross on commentary. The crowd pop as JR is shown, but Cole runs them down, saying they demolished the meaning of broadcast journalism. He says that with JR’s ridiculous sayings and King’s perverted mind, Monday Night Raw became nothing more than a joke to the wrestling business. He claims that when he was drafted from SmackDown to Raw, he saved Raw from the death it was inevitable approaching. He is the savior of commentary! The crowd boo as Lawler shakes his head. Michael Cole then says that no interview show is complete without a special guest, so here to talk about his relationship with Jerry ‘The King’ Lawler… his very own son, Brian Christopher. Christopher comes out to a mixed reaction, but soon gets heat as he starts to put his father down. He says that he was never there for him as a dad, and he never looked after him. He leans over the ropes, looks Jerry dead in the eye and says “You wanna know why I didn’t use your name? Because I was embarrassed to have you as a father!”. The crowd gasp in horror as Lawler hangs his head. Mathews tries to comfort King, but King leaps up and enters the ring with clenched fists. The crowd erupt as Michael Cole cowers behind William Regal and Brian Christopher. Cole shouts that King better remember that if he touches him before WrestleMania, he’s fired. King says “I know that, you idiot. I’m not here to hit you…” Suddenly, Lawler unloads on his son, giving him rights and lefts as the crowd cheer. William Regal gets involved, pulling Lawler off and beating him down alongside Christopher. The United States Champion, Daniel Bryan comes out and saves the day, fighting both Regal and Christopher off. Michael Cole, William Regal and Brian Christopher leave, happy at what they have done as Daniel Bryan checks on Lawler. We then fade to a promo package.

Michael McGillicutty with The Nexus def. Randy Orton
Orton was clearly still hurting from his recent attacks, favoring his right leg. He looked like he was about to take the victory, measuring McGillicutty for an RKO, but David Otunga jumped onto the ring apron and Mason Ryan entered the ring and planted Orton with the Spinning Side Slam. McGillicutty picked up the pieces and covered Orton for the victory.

The Nexus send a message
The crowd boo as The Nexus enter the ring in celebration. CM Punk gets on the microphone, saying that this is a small preview of what he is going to do to Randy Orton at WrestleMania. He says that nobody, not even Stone Cold Steve Austin can do anything about it. Austin will be forced to call it right down the middle and by doing that, CM Punk will be named the victor, continuing his rise to greatness. Punk gives some instructions to Mason Ryan, and Ryan grabs Orton’s right leg. He uses the very same submission he used on R-Truth last month, wrenching away at his knee. Orton screams in agony before referees come in to break it up. The Nexus leave with satisfaction on their faces as we cut to the commentary desk.

Josh Mathews and Todd Grisham say that they hope Randy Orton will be alright to compete at WrestleMania after such a horrific display. On a lighter note, they reveal that the WrestleMania Host, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson will be LIVE on Monday Night Raw next week! The final Raw before WrestleMania just got electrifying.

Commercial Break.

An eerie message is sent
Triple H makes his entrance to a huge pop. He comes out to the ring and talks about how The Undertaker was nowhere to be seen this past Friday on SmackDown. He says that maybe The Deadman has finally come to terms with the fact that he cannot gain the upper hand and has accepted defeat. He says that it is inevitable that The Undertaker will fall at WrestleMania, because despite the huge amount of respect he has for him, that will now stop him from destroying him and breaking the Streak. Suddenly, the lights begin to flicker to a huge pop, and interference is heard echoing around the arena. Triple H looks on with a smile, saying that he is glad that The Deadman has decided to finally respond. However, he says that he isn’t going to be intimidated by any of his antics. The same thing happens again, but this time, smoke starts to pour into the arena floor and the lights completely shut out, only leaving a spotlight on The Game in the center of the ring. Triple H walks around, saying that The Undertaker will not intimidate him, no matter what he does. Just then, the voice of The Undertaker is heard to a huge pop. He says that at WrestleMania, a regular encounter will not suffice to end this war between them, and therefore, he proposes that they make their match No Holds Barred! No count-outs, no disqualifications, ensuring a definite winner. Triple H says “I accept, Deadman”. But then he says that regardless of the rules, he will still win. The Undertaker says that Triple H will be forced to eat his words at WrestleMania. He says that he will be on Raw next week for one final confrontation before their battle. Triple H says that he will be there. A gong is heard and the lights return to normal. Triple H’s theme follows and we fade to a promo package.

We see a promo package for WWE Tough Enough, starting the night after WrestleMania, immediately following Monday Night Raw. We then return to ringside.

John Morrison def. Ted DiBiase with Maryse
Ted DiBiase qualified last week on Raw, and looked to get a victory over one of the first men to qualify, but unfortunately, Morrison had his number. Morrison hit the Starship Pain and picked up the victory.

After the match, while Morrison celebrated, Dolph Ziggler entered the ring and locked in the Sleeper Hold. He wore Morrison out, but R-Truth came to make the save. Ziggler escaped, the damage already been done as Truth checked on Morrison. We then fade to a commercial break.

Commercial Break.

We return to see Scott Stanford backstage alongside John Cena to a pop. He asks Cena about The Rock being LIVE on Raw next week. Cena takes his cap off and rubs his head before saying he is sick and tired of The Rock this, and The Rock that. How many times does he have to say that he doesn’t really care?! He gets some heat for this. He says that if The Rock wants to be on Raw next week, then good for him, he will enjoy watching it, but he says that he is fed up of people bringing him into it. He says that his focus is on The Miz and the WWE Championship. Stanford quickly changes subject, asking if Cena has found himself a partner for his match. Cena says he definitely has, and he is sure The Miz will love it. He walks off, but then he comes back, snatching the microphone from Stanford and saying “Rocky… if you want some – come get some!”. He throws the microphone down and leaves as the crowd erupt.

John Cena & World Heavyweight Champion, Edge def. WWE Champion, The Miz and Alex Riley
He crowd were pumped to see the World Champion, Edge on Raw. The Miz and John Cena were both legal at one point and did battle, but Miz was quick to tag out. Cena didn’t like this and unleashed his anger on Alex Riley, planting him with the Attitude Adjustment for the victory.

They continued to stomp down on them, but suddenly, Christian appeared to a huge pop and fought them off. The Miz, Alex Riley, Alberto Del Rio and Brodus Clay fled as John Cena, Edge and Christian stood tall in the ring. Monday Night Raw then fades to a close.

Setting the mood
Edge says that this past Monday on Raw, he was able to pick up the victory over The Miz and Alex Riley, alongside John Cena. He says that tonight, with the addition of Christian, they will do the same and beat Miz, Del Rio and Brodus Clay. Edge says Alberto Del Rio couldn't keep his nose out of Raw on Monday, so he's going to give him a Spear for his troubles. Suddenly, he is interrupted by the theme of The Miz, who comes out alongside Alex Riley. They square up in the ring and The Miz tells Edge that he doesn't plan on losing tonight, because he is going to embarrass John Cena, just like he has done week in, week out. Edge says that Miz is sounding like Alberto Del Rio, and that isn't a good thing. Miz says he doesn't sound like anybody, because he is his own man, and tonight, he will lead his team to victory. This prompts the theme of Alberto Del Rio, who comes out alongside Brodus Clay. He confronts The Miz, smirking, saying that if anyone is going to lead the team to victory, it's him. Edge comedically stands back and watches as the two argue. Edge interrupts by pointing out that his team will win, because of it's unity, if anything. The theme of Christian hits and he comes out now to a huge pop. He asks Edge what he meant by "his team". Edge explains to Christian that he wasn't saying he owned the team, but Christian says that Edge better not be stealing the spotlight like he always seems to do. Everything gets heated, but the crowd erupt as the theme of John Cena hits. He walks down to the ring and tells everyone to calm down.

After the match, Rhodes got down on his knees and went right up into Booker's face, psychotically whispering "Did you like that, Rey? That's what I'm going to do to you at WrestleMania".
