WWF Monday Night Raw 07-10-2017
Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse Ventura
Phillips Arena, Atlanta Georgia
{The logo hits, and the pyro blasts, as we see the intro video of Monday Night Raw hit! The fans are jam packed to the rafters tonight! They are excited as we go over what happen in last week's Raw with formation of The new version of The Heenan Family. We are now taken to ringside where Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse Ventura are standing by.}
Gorilla: Welcome to Monday Night Raw! I am Gorilla Monsoon and by side like always is Jesse The Body Ventura! Jess, they are jam packed here tonight and I must say it has to do with that big Battle Royal coming up later tonight.
Jesse: That's right Gorilla! 15 of the best superstars all vying for a shot at the World Title at Battleground! I must say I have a favorite in that match though and I think that Adam Cole is going to win it!
Gorilla: A very interesting choice, but I don't think that Adam is going to do it.
Jesse: Let me guess you think John Cena is going to do it!
Gorilla: The history making man, and the hardest worker in the sport today. John Cena is a true superstar in every choice of the word. I believe that John is going to Battleground!
Jesse: Well speaking of our choices it looks like we are about to be blessed with the presence of my pick to win. The Heenan Family!
Bobby: I came out here for a reason and I REFUSE to be disrespected and especially by all of you humanoids. So before you really make me upset and make my Family put this whole show on hostage. You better let us speak. So I am going to hand this microphone to soon to be World Heavyweight Champion. Adam Cole!
{Adam goes to take the microphone and he is getting tons of heat from this sold out crowd!}
Adam: Thank you Bobby, now fans I believe that it's time for a little storytime with The Heenan Family! So let's get started shall we! Fir..........
{Before Cole can even say a word he is cut off by The World Champion CM Punk!}
CM Punk: That's not how we are going to do this. The Heenan Family is not about be the opening of my show, and proceed to tell the world about how they shocked the world by adding a new member in the World's Strongest Man, but let's be real for a moment Mark. The only thing you are a world leader in is being a total BITCH! What you did last week was the weakest move in the history of wrestling. You saw me beating the hell out Adam Cole so you decided to attack me from behind. For someone who comes out to music that talks about kicking ass, you sure do act like a total coward. To be honest if anybody is going to get their ass kicked it's going to be you, and the rest of the family if they ever stick their noise in the business of CM Punk.
Bobby: That's cute Punk, but I guess you seem to be forgetting the number that we put on you. Last time I checked we left you lying in the debris of a table looking up at the lights, but it's alright we know those ribs aren't 100 percent. So Punk if you want to really be this big and dangerous man. Why don't you come down the ramp and show the world why they call you Best in the World!
{Before Punk can even think about coming down the ramp here comes General Manager Mick Foley.}
CM Punk: Before you even get started Mick, I am going to save you the time. Because, I want to know how Mark Henry even got in the building. You caused this Mick, you allowed your WWF Champion to get attacked by somebody who shouldn't have even been allowed to come into the ring.
Mick: Punk, I know you are upset.....
CM Punk: No! I'm PISSED OFF! I'm The World Wrestling Federation Champion! That means something unlike these other titles in other companies! I beat two of the greatest of all time. So you would think that would come with a little insurance policy, but not with this warzone every Monday Night you are causing! Unless you forgot Mick this isn't the Attitude Era! Where the rules went out the window. So before you book a match tonight. I'm going to go ahead and tell you. I'm not wrestling tonight, but next week. Let me go ahead and set up the Main Event! Mark Henry you want a piece of me! Next Week I am going to kick your ass, why because I'm The Best in the World and That's What I Do!
{Punk drops his microphone and shoves the WWF Title in the face of Foley before walking to the back! Foley is losing control of Raw already and the show just started!}
Adam Cole: Way to go Mick! You really showed him! It's amazing how you were even a respected champion. It's obvious that you are out of your element, but it's alright because since you are terrible at your job, you have allowed The Family, and myself to make the strongest unit in all of professional wrestling! We already have the Tag Team Titles, and at Battleground we are going to add The Crown Jewel The WWF Championship!
Mick: It's a funny thing you mentioned the WWF Tag Team Championships! I have decided that I am going to make a match. See due to the interference of Bobby Heenan at Money in the Bank. I have decided to grant Gargano and Ciampa a rematch at Battleground and because I want to make sure that nothing happens. We are going to have those titles put up inside of a 15 foot high steel cage!
{The Heenan Family are in shock by this, but Foley is all smiles, as he heads through the curtain leaving The Family upset about this turn of events!}

Cruiserweight Qualifying Match
Dean Malenko vs Christopher Daniels
-This is a high impact, and super strong opener. They go move for move, and neither men hold up at all. We see them keep fighting back and forth and they go about a full 12 minutes. Daniels is showing off all his skills as Malenko is doing the exact same. The ending comes when we see Daniels catch Malenko with a kick across the side of the head. Daniels goes over to the corner and we see him go for The BME! He leaps to the top rope and...Malenko moves out of the way. Daniels is holding his ribs, as we see Malenko come from behind and connects with a German Suplex! 1.......2......3!!! Malenko is raising his arm in the air, but the referee grabs the arm of Daniels and raises it the air! Daniels has won this match but we see another referee comes down the ramp and we have an arguement going on here as one referee says Daniels has won and the other is saying Malenko has won. Foley comes down the ramp and is declaring the match a draw. He says that since Mysterio was traded to RoH due to Vince McMahon that they both are moving on to the Crusierweight Title Match at Battleground. Daniels and Malenko look at Foley at walk way with neither happy about the result. The referees look at Foley and just walk away. Foley is losing control of this show.
Gorilla: A draw!? Can you believe it Jess!
Jesse: No! Malenko clearly had Daniels pinned in the middle of the ring. This first referee made a mistake that's for sure.
Gorilla: It looked to me like Daniels got the shoulder up, and Malenko's shoulders were down.
Jesse: Of course you are going to say that Monsoon. You don't like Malenko, so of course you don't want him winning the match. Cause you probably had money on it.
Gorilla: Give me a break! Fans, we get back we are going to see The Four Horsemen in action!
*Commercial*
{We come straight from commercial, and we see Mick Foley in his office, this is when things get interesting up to the scene comes The Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase.}
Ted Dibiase: Mr. Foley, it's a pleasure to meet you. Incase you haven't heard, I am one of the newest signings in the World Wrestling Federation.
Mick: I know Ted, I was the one who made the deal to bring you here.
Dibiase: So you did know that I was apart of the roster. See, I wasn't so sure in seeing that you haven't even put me on television. I don't know if you know this but I am the richest man in professional wrestling today, and I could easily buy myself out of my contract and I could be a free agent right now.
Mick: Fine, if you don't want to be here. I'm not going to stop you.
Dibiase: You don't get it do you Mick. It's obvious you have no respect from any of the boys in the back. They only see you as a washed up former wrestler. They don't see you as anybody to be respected, and it's obvious when you see how this show is going down. What you need is somebody to make decisions for you. Somebody to be your Co-General Manager of this show, and who better than myself. I am not going to lie, my back isn't in the best of shape these days, and I need something to pass the time while it heals up. So what do you say Mick?
Mick: I think I wil pass, see I don't need anybody telling me how to do my job. I can't control that Malenko and Daniels ended in a No DQ. I couldn't control that Cody Rhodes tried breaking the ankle of Kurt Angle last week. Mark Henry got into the building because I was taking care of Kurt from getting revenge against Cody. I can't help that, but I will be damned if you think just cause you have a big bank account that you can pressure me into giving you anything. The way I see it, I can easily trade your contract, and bring in somebody that can compete.
Dibiase: Mick, I have said it once and I will say it again. Everybody, and everything has a price, and that even includes your job! As for releasing me, well I have some bad news. Cause, of my bad back. I can't be released, or I will have so many lawyers at the corporate office that I will put a freeze on all programming in the WWF. So Mick, I'm not a man to mess with, but don't worry cause we will be in touch. HAHAHAHA!
Gorilla: A very interesting development! Could we be looking at another boss Jess.
Jesse: I don't think Mick knows who he was just dealing with. Ted Dibiase didn't become one of the richest by being stupid that's for sure. I would be careful if I was Foley.
The Four Horsemen defeat The Blue World Order
{The bWo come out and they play the crowd, but they just decimated by The Horsemen this match is to show that The Horsemen are ready for Battleground! They each get a chance to shine, and it's all over as Flair locks on the Figure Four in the middle of the ring on Hollywood Nova! The Horsemen hold up the four fingers and taunt The Wyatts, as Flair takes a microphone!}
Ric Flair: Bray Wyatt! We are going to finish this! Battleground is where the line in the sand will drawn! We are through with all the mind games. All we want is to see The Wyatts again in the middle of the ring. We made a mistake at Money in the Bank in not having a full team ready for war, but now we have our newest member in The Animal Dave Batista, and we can take on anybody! You might think you are a dangerous man Bray, but in reality you are nothing but a hack! At Battleground you try to bring in whoever you got! You want to make a deal with the devil, you go right ahead, because we aren't afraid of anybody! You want a war, you got a war! At Battleground we are going to war, and we are going to stand our ground. Four on Four NO RULES, NO DQ, Falls Count Anywhere! We don't even have to wait to accept, cause the match is already signed! So at Battleground get ready for war. WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

#DIY defeat Rowan and Harper
- A good tag match here between these two teams. Rowan and Harper are showing off impressive skills as a team here, and it's obivous they could hold the tag gold if it wasn't for their current feud. DIY counters all their power though with tremendous speed. They make up for the alck of power by showing off this speed. During this match though Anderson and Tully come charging down the ramp and interrupt this match. Harper leaves the ring to go after The Horsemen but he fell right into the trap as Rowan is left with DIY. He eats a combo of tag moves before finally DIY finish off Rowan with their Superkick/Running Knee Combo! 1.....2...3! DIY take the victory and look ready for Battleground coming up in a few weeks!
Gorilla: DIY, they look in prime shape to get those Tag Titles from The American Wolves.
Jesse: I wasn't impressed with their victory tonight. The Horsemen are the only reason they even won tonight. At Battleground inside of that steel cage they won't have any help.
Gorilla: Neither will The American Wolves though Jess, and the only reason they are champions right now is cause of that weasel Bobby Heenan.
Jesse: Agree to disgaree Monsoon.
Gorilla: Let's take you backstage where Mean Gene is standing by with one of the men who will compete later tonight in Gold Rush, Cody Rhodes!
Mean Gene: Thank you! Now Cody, in just a few short moments you are going to be in that big battle royal, but if you win tonight than you are going to have to pull double duty, and face both Kurt Angle and CM Punk in the same night. Do you think that you can honestly beat both men in one night?
Cody: Well Mean Gene.....
*CRACK*
{A steel chair is sent to the back of Cody Rhodes. The camera pans out and it's KURT ANGLE! He can barely walk but he just laid out Cody Rhodes. Angle is limping away, but he is happy with the damage he has caused, as Foley is checking on Cody Rhodes. He is screaming at Kurt, but suddenly to the scene comes Vince McMahon. He tells Foley to let the medics take care of Cody, but he needs to speak with him right now! They walk off to the office on Mr. McMahon as we head to commercial.}
*Commercial*
Samoa Joe vs Jay Lethal
-This is a very fast paced and hard hitting match. Joe is making his comeback after his attack by Savage 2 weeks ago at Money in the Bank! Lethal is doing the best he can to battle Joe, but he just can't keep up, as Samoa Joe just decimates Lethal with vicous strikes, and moves. He finally finishes up Lethal with the Coquina Clutch! Joe makes Lethal pass out! He finally lets go of the hold and gets a smile on his face as he points to his glove, and it has a message for Savage! "Joe's Gonna Get You!"
{After the match we get this promo of a superstar that will be coming to the World Wrestling Federation!}
Gorilla: WHOA! Sting is coming to the World Wrestling Federation!
Jesse: I can't say that I am surprised. I heard once that NWA folded, he was the very first superstar that Mick Foley wanted to sign.
Gorilla: I know that he will be a very welcomed addition to the roster. I have heard that he will make his debut at Battleground.
Jesse: Well, that's great for the Stinger, but I would be careful cause this isn't like the NWA. The WWF is shark infested water if he isn't careful he will be eaten up real fast here.
{We now head to the back where we see Mean Gene standing by with Shane Douglas.}
Mean Gene: My guest at this time the man who in 2 weeks will face Roman Reigns for the United States Championship at Battleground. Shane Douglas!
Shane: That's right the man who is going to also defeat Roman Reigns at Battleground and take that United States Champinship from him. We all know that Roman thinks he is this big and bad man, but let tell the world something right now. Roman Reigns who calls himself the Big Dog is nothing but a scared little puppy! The Franchise is here for a reason to end the dreadful reign of Roman Reigns. I don't care who he thinks that he is, because they all fail in comparison to being The Franchise!

Gold Rush Battle Royal
{Adam Cole, Eddie Edwards, Davey Richards, John Cena, Eddie Guerrero, Shane Douglas, Roman Reigns, Samoa Joe, Johnny Gargano, Tommasi Ciampa, James Storm, Kurt Angle, Hardcore Holly, Perry Saturn and A Mystery Guy!}
- So everybody is inside of the ring, and the match is about to start, but Jesse keeps mentioning that because of Kurt Angle that Cody Rhodes is no longer apart of the match. So now a 15th man will need to be added. So as they come out here comes the next man in the match. It's TED DIBIASE!
Ted: Well before we get this match started. I have some HUGE news to make, because of recent actions that have taken place. Vince McMahon has made a choice, and we have decided that Mick Foley can't run this show on his own anymore. So with that being said. I have become the Co-General Manager of Monday Night Raw. Now, CM Punk was supposed to do guest commentary tonight, but he has decided to take his night off, and I am alright with that, but as we can see in the ring we see 14 men in the ring, and we are missing a 15th. So I have decided that I am going to add a new man to this match. Now, Mick wanted this man to wait, but I got him on the first flght here tonight that I could. I haven't seen eye to eye with this person but sometimes you have to make some sacrifices in business, and I am going to put my personal feelings aside and let me welcome that last man in The Gold Rush Battle Royal
It's HULK HOGAN! The Immortal Hulk Hogan is here! Jesse is throwing a fit about how unfair this is, as Gorilla is pushing this through the roof! Hogan bypasses a handshake from DIbiase and heads right down the ramp! Hogan rips the shirt on the entrance way and enters the ring. Everybody is in shock right now, and they are standing away from Hogan. Hulk is in the middle of the ring now when up comes ROMAN REIGNS! He ruins the MONSTER POP as Reigns just smirks and tells Hogan that this is his yard! Hogan looks at Reigns and puts the finger right in his face. Reigns hits the ropes SUPERMAN PUNCH! Hogan NO SELLS THE PUNCH! Reigns is in shock Hogan grabs Reigns and THROWS HIM RIGHT OVER THE TOP ROPE! THE FANS EXPLODE! Reigns is in shock! Hogan looks right at Reigns and taunts his muscles right at him!
*Roman Reigns is Eliminated*
This is where we see all hell break loose. The Wolves and Cole attack Hogan from behind and start working him over. Angle who has his bad ankle does last too long in this match as Eddie Guerrero clotheslines him over the top rope and onto the floor! Eddie though goes flying over the top rope with him! Eddie though catches his foot on the ropes and saves himself for elimination. Eddie then notices all the men are distracted and he slides under the bottom ropes and against the ring apron. Jesse is calling this a dirty tactic, but Gorilla is loving this going on. The match has a lot of action going on as we head to our first commercial. It comes back and we see Hardcore Holly and James Storm are both gone during the commercial. It shows both of their eliminations. Shane Douglas is working over Cena in the corner. Samoa Joe is starting to dominate now. As he just throws Saturn right over the rope and onto the floor! Joe turns his attention over to DIY but they meet him with stereo Superkicks! They come charging but we see Joe catch Gargano with a Slam, but Ciampa with a ROARING ELBOW! He catches him straight into the face! Joe is actually dazed by this as Gargano comes charging but Joe grabs him and throws him. That's when Hogan breaks through all three members of the Heenan Family like he is a superhero! Hogan then comes charging and CLOTHESLINE TO JOE! Samoa Joe is gone! He is throwing a fit as Hogan is back in cotrol! He nails Gargano is back to his feet, but Shane Douglas is there to dump him over the top rope! Douglas turns around and a dropkick from Ciampa and he is gone! Ciampa turns around and is instantly gone by The Wolves! Hogan and Cena are now left with The Heenan Family! We get one of those moments where the fans are going crazy. Hulk Hogan and John Cena are beside each other and they look at each other and they go right at The Family! It's a total fight they are going right at it. Richards comes charging and he is gone! It's Edwards and Cole they are fighting with Cena and Hogan. They catch Edwards and send him flying over the top rope! Adam Cole is left against Hogan and Cena! That's when Mark Henry decides to enter the ring. That's when CM Punk jumps the rail and STEEL CHAIR TO MARK HENRY! Heenan is throwing a fit as CM Punk attacks Mark Henry, and sends him through the crowd chasing him. The Wolves are gone, and all that is left is Adam Cole but when he turns around after being upset but all he gets is an AA from John Cena!
Hogan hits the ropes but the second he hits the ropes. John Cena comes charging CLOTHESLINE OVER THE TOP ROPE! HOGAN IS GONE! THE FANS ARE IN SHOCK! Hogan is looking at Cena in total shock of what just happen. Cena is saying it's all about the title, but while they are arguing. Adam Cole slips from behind with a Superkick into the back of the skull of John Cena and sends him over the top rope and onto the floor! OMG! Adam Cole is going to Battleground! He climbs the second buckle and is celebrating his victory. The music is playing and the celebrating is starting.
Cole is blowing a kiss to both John Cena and Hulk Hogan who are arguing on the outside of the ring, but as that is happening. What Cole and the fans forgot is EDDIE GUERRERO WAS NEVER ELIMINATED! Adam Cole has no idea but from behind Eddie Guerrero throws him over the top rope! Eddie Guerrero is heading for Battleground to challenge CM Punk!
Eddie Guerrero is in the middle of the ring living this moment to it's fullest! What a moment we are witnessing! Eddie Guerrero is going to Main Event against CM Punk for the WWF Title at Battleground!
