Raw Year 1 Episode 1
The show opens up with a video from earlier in the day. Vince McMahon is talking to all 35 RAW superstars.
Vince McMahon: Welcome to all of our RAW superstars! In previous years we usually elect General Managers before the draft but this time it is a little different. This time every single one of you superstars will vote for the new COO and that COO will elect a General Manager. On each piece of paper you have six choices for COO of RAW, you will anonymously vote and stick your vote in this black box. The winner will be revealed on RAW. The power is in your hands tonight.
The choices on the paper include Big Johnny, Kevin Nash, Paul Heyman, Lita, Corey Graves, and DDP. Everybody votes and the video fades to black.
*RAW Intro video*
Vince McMahon makes his way to the ring to start the first episode of RAW. Vince grabs a microphone.
Vince McMahon: Earlier in the day every RAW brand superstar voted for the new COO of Monday Night RAW. Our superstars had six choices; Big Johnny, Lita, Kevin Nash, Corey Graves, Paul Heyman, and DDP. I have the results right here in this envelope.
Vince opens the envelope and gasps audibly.
Vince: The new Chief Operating Officer of RAW is….Corey Graves.
Corey Graves’ music hits and he comes out to utter shock and surprise.
Corey Graves: I never expected this in a million years. Just last week I was preparing to be a commentator for our NXT brand and now I am the Chief Operating Officer of Monday Night RAW. Thank you everyone. I will not let the boys in the back or the WWE universe down. Now I guess my first order of business is to pick a GM for RAW. Now this is a guy that I have idolized as a child. He is KEVIN NASH.
Kevin Nash comes out to his music and gives fans on both sides of the entrance ramp high fives. Nash steps over the top rope and shakes hands with Graves.
Graves: My second order of business tonight is to determine our first WWE Champion. Now how exactly are we going to do that?
Graves holds out the mic to the fans and the crowd goes nuts with all sorts of responses.
Graves: Man this crowd is fired up tonight aren’t they Nash?
Nash whispers into Graves’ ear. Graves whispers back to Nash.
Graves: I love Nash’s idea. Tonight we will have two 5 man steel cage matches. They winner of those two steel cage matches will go on tonight to main event raw in a 60 minute iron man match where the winner will be our first WWE Champion!
