WWE RAW Opener:
The fireworks went off in the arena for the start of WWE RAW as Joey Styles, Jerry Lawler and The Coach welcome us to the show! Tonight, Edge puts the WWE Title on the line against Ric Flair in a TLC Match and the new World Champion Kurt Angle faces Shawn Michaels!
In the arena:
The music of Edge hit in the arena as he made his way to the ring as the WWE Champion alongside Lita. Edge got on the mic and said he understands that people are calling him a cheap champion, that he stole his victory over John Cena at New Years Revolution, but the fact is that he won the title fair and square. He executed his Money in the Bank at the right place and the right time, and now he stands before you as the new WWE Champion. Edge said being the champion; he does what he wants, when he wants. He calls the shots. Last week, he wanted to have a live sex celebration with his love kitten Lita, but apparently some people were offended by Lita and her incredible body being stripped down to it’s no essentials, and to those people he says too damn bad! He’s the Rated R Superstar and you better get used to it. He said their segment last week was the highest rated segment in over two years. He said over 25 million people got onto WWE.com, and that means that he is the most watched WWE Champion of all time! He said for those of you who don’t like that, there are consequences to pay. Just like the legendary Ric Flair tried to stick his nose in his business, he paid the consequences last week. Footage was shown of the one man conchairto that Edge gave Flair on the announce table last week. He said so much for Flair country. He said Ric Flair disrespected him and Lita, and bam, conchairto, he bashed his brains in! He said tonight, he will finish Ric Flair off in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match, but right now, he wants Lita to finish him off! He said right now, he wants to have live, uninterrupted sex. Edge got a chair and he sat on it while some cheesy music played and Lita got on top of him. Kurt Angle’s music then hit as he came down to huge pyro as the new World Heavyweight Champion!
Angle got in the ring with Daivari and Edge said in case he missed it, all the people are saying he sucks! Angle said that was funny, but he was listening to the crowd and he thinks they were referring to Lita! Angle said he thinks these cheap tricks make him a champion? He beat Cena who got his ass kicked for 45 minutes, and now he’s champion. But it’s ability that will keep him a champion. Angle said when he’s the ring, he’s the real thing. He doesn’t take the easy way out. He said his contract expired on RAW on January 1st, but then he heard about Batista’s injury and signed with Smackdown to become the new World Heavyweight Champion! Edge said Angle was embarrassed because he couldn’t get the job done against Cena, and Edge did so in two minutes, and if Angle won the Chamber, he would have done the exact same thing with him! Angle said let’s find out and unify the titles here tonight! Edge said not a chance. He said Angle is the champion of a second rate show, who the hell does he think he is coming out here and challenging him? Edge then went to nail Angle, but Angle gave him a German Suplex and Edge bailed to the outside! Vince McMahon then made his way down to ringside and got into the ring. McMahon said that he will not have two world champions beating the hell out of each other tonight, but what we will have is that they will both fulfil their obligations tonight. Edge will defend his title against Ric Flair in a TLC Match. McMahon told him to get out of here and get ready for the match. McMahon then congratulated Angle on his title win, and he is facing Shawn Michaels tonight, but he won’t be defending the World Title, but there will be a stipulation. He said if Shawn Michaels loses the match tonight, Shawn Michaels’ contract will be terminated immediately tonight. McMahon then told Lilian to introduce Michaels and this match is going down right now!
