Week 2 RAW
Vince Mcmahon’s music plays and he struts to the ring. He shakes a few hands and stands in the center of the ring.
Vince: Tonight is the last night of Monday Night Raw without an official General Manager. At the end of the night, either Hornswoggle’s representative The Undertaker or Hulk Hogan’s representative Sting will become our first WWE Champion and grant their supporter supreme booking power of one of the most prolific shows in wrestling history! Tonight I will be the GM, though, and I would like to announce a few matches. On Raw tonight, we will have four tag teams facing off in a 4 team tournament to crown our first world tag team champions. The winners of these two matches will square off next week on raw in the finals. Now that takes care of the fate of that championship, but there is one more title up for grabs. Next we will have a 4 man ladder match where I will hang the prestigious Intercontinental Championship from the ceiling. The combatants in this match are the men that gravity forgot, Neville, the show off Dolph Ziggler, Curtis Axel, and one of the most exciting young talents around, Sami Zayn.
