Commentary: Thanks to WWE's victory last night at Wrestlemania..................Welcome to Monday Night Raw, and the show opens with Mr McMahon in the ring...........
Promo: McMahon declares the war over..................and WWE won!
All TNA is now owned by WWE, and of course that includes the wrestlers, and to prove he is a fair man, they will get a chance to prove their worthy of getting WWE Contracts................and that is why this Friday on Smackdown, the male Superstars will compete in an over the top rope Battle Royal, the winner of which shall be awarded with a one year contract guaranteed...............
And now with Wrestlemania over, it's time for a Superstar shake up, with the 2013 draft...............
Commentary: It's Episode 1,036, and after his shock WWE Title win last night, Goldust will be taking an interview in the ring.............also in action tonight, Samoa Joe & Big E clash, as they try to move on from their WWE Title defeat and the next Number 1 Contender for the Diva's Title will be revealed in 4 Diva action.
Backstage: Rey Mysterio confronts Suicide, he wants to, despite their conflicts, congratulate him on his successful X Division Title defence last night against 5 opponents, and he respects him for the achievement, Mysterio then reveals that he believes Suicide has the quality to go far in the WWE.........Suicide simply nods to Mysterio, before making his way to the entrance, as he faces Kaval next.
Suicide v Kaval
Mid Match: Getting frustrated by being unable to get the victory, Kaval reacted by delivering a Low Blow............
Winner: Suicide via Disqualification.
Post Match: Astonishment grips the commentary team, why did Kaval react that way, what reasoning is behind it?
But then the Titantron bursts into life, as it's time to reveal the first Draft pick of the 2013 Draft..................
Natalya is drafted to Smackdown
Backstage: Cody and the new WWE Champion Goldust are still celebrating, Cody claims that all the people who called Goldust a joke, won't be laughing any more.................
Goldust is so proud to finally bring a World Title to the Rhodes name, and when he has his in ring Interview, he now has the freedom to speak his heart and revel his true feelings...............
Backstage: Stephanie McMahon confronts Bobby Roode, she informs him that despite holding the WWE Tag Titles, he still has to compete in the Battle Royal this Friday, because holding Championship Gold does not make anyone excempt from being fired as soon as they lose said Title..............and they may lose those titles soon, because after they ambushed The Motor City Machine Guns this past Friday, Motor City have decided to cash in their Tag Title shot they earned by winning NXT Tag Team.
In ring Interview: Renee Young calls out the new WWE Champion, Goldust!!!!
Is Goldust prepared for what being the WWE Champion means?
Goldust understands completely, he knows he has a huge target now, but there is one man he would like to face, this man has never had a WWE Title match and truthfully he deserves one..............that man being Cody Rhodes..................
and together they would tear the house down...............
Just then though Drew McIntyre makes his way down to the ring and goes face to face with Goldust, he tells Goldust he's a joke, that the Title round his waist is making a mockery of the WWE Title and that choosing his next opponent will not happen while he's around, and with that McIntyre demands he get the next WWE Title match, and bring respect back to the WWE Title..............
Backstage: Taeler Hendrix is talking to Velvet Sky, she claims that their days are numbered now that WWE own their contracts, she claims Stephanie will fire them because she's jealous of their looks and talent, Taeler then claims that they should approach Mr McMahon and show them their "Quality" personally, because he likes real women...................
unfortunately however Stephanie walks by at that moment and overhears, storming into the locker room she informs them they have a match tonight along with Angelina Love & Jade, a Fatal 4 Way, and the loser...............IS FIRED!!!!!!
Next up Big E & Samoa Joe take their frustrations of losing last night out on each other.............
Big E v Samoa Joe
Winner: Samoa Joe via Pinfall.
Commentary: And so as both competitors turn their attention back to regaining the WWE Title, it has now become official, Drew McIntyre will face Goldust, if McIntyre wins he becomes the Number 1 Contender, but if Goldust wins, he gets to face whoever he wishes.........
And now as the Titantron flashes up a number of wrestler images, the time has come for the 2nd Draft pick of the night................
Scott Hall is Drafted to Monday Night Raw
Backstage: Velvet Sky is scheming with Angelina Love concerning their match coming up, she is fuming at Taeler for putting them in this situation, she claims that she was never a success in TNA to begin with, that Heyman probably mistook her for Taylor Wilde, but The Beautiful People are a team, the standard bearers of the Knockouts Division, and by working as a team, they will send Taeler or Jade to the unemployment line...............and it doesn't matter which one it is.
Velvet Sky v Angelina Love v Taeler Hendrix v Jade
Winner: Angelina Love via Pinfall on Taeler Hendrix.
Post Match: No sooner does the bell ring, than Stephanie McMahon strides down to the ring, as The Beautiful People leave the ring, with huge smiles, Jade hesitantly also exits, Stephanie takes a microphone and walks up to the dejected Taeler Hendrix, and then issues the 2 words she was dreading............."You're Fired!!!!!" and with that Stephanie leaves, but it is noticeable that there does seem to be a tiny bit of remorse in her face..........but for Taeler that is no consolation.............
Commentary: Cole can't hide his pleasure, he see's this as the first step in getting rid of ALL the TNA Invaders..........however King disagrees, he admits that he can see massive potential in many of the TNA stars, and Taeler was one of them, and its'a shame it had to end that way...........
but now on we move, and it's Draft time................
The United States Champion Jack Swagger is drafted to Smackdown
Commentary: The shock is in their voices, the United States Championship will be going to Smackdown, Raw has just lost one of it's Main Titles.
Backstage: Sin Cara confronts Rey Mysterio, after being eliminated by Rey last night in the 6 man match up for the X Division Title, he claims that Rey is just the latest person to stab him in the back, that he;s now through with having partners, he will now be going it alone..............Rey claims Sin Cara\ knew going into the match it was every man for himself, would he have acted differently had it been the other way round..........and with that Sin Cara storms off.
Backstage Interview: Renee Young asks Ryback that with the United States Title being drafted along with Swagger to Smackdown, does this change his game plan going into Extreme Rules?
Ryback claims the game plan remains the same walk in as challenger, feed his hunger, walk out once again United States Champion, then when he returns to Raw, he welcomes any challengers, to feed his hunger more!!!!
and then the interview is interrupted by the arrival of Wade Barrett................Barrett reminds Ryback that he was kicked out of The Nexus, and no sooner did that happen, Ryback lost the United States Title, as such he knows that Ryback will be unable to get the Title back, meaning it will stay on Raw, so Barrett volunteers to take his place, and win the Title as only a Great British Champion can.
Ryback finds this funny, but since he now can't fight Swagger until Extreme Rules, he suggests Barrett take Swaggers place and get beaten up instead............Barrett reacts to this by backing away swiftly and leaving.............Ryback smirks as he leaves.
Coming up next it's the Fatal 4 Way to determine the new Number 1 Contender for the Diva's Title including Hall of Famer Trish Stratus..........
Trish Stratus v Katie Lea v Nikki Bella v Lita
Fatal 4 Ways
Diva's Title Number 1 Contender
Mid Match: Nikki Bella was tapping to a Katie Lea Submission, but the referee was distracted by a near fall involving Lita & Trish.
Winner: Nikki Bella via Pinfall on Katie Lea.
Post Match: Trish Stratus and Lita's hatred for each other blew up, as they contiued to fight up the ramp, until Security seperated them, with even Stephanie McMahon making an appearance..............as they were taken backstage, in the ring Katie Lea assaulted Nikki Bella...............then from the back came The Beautiful People who joined in the attack, it became even more dangerous when a Steel Chair was brought into the ring...........but then an unexpected ally turned up to clear the ring, it was Nikki's NXT protege........Kaitlyn.......
Commentary: Nikki Bella will now go onto face Melina for the Diva's Championship, but first she has this problem with Katie & The Beautiful People to deal with................
And now the penultimate Draft for the night..........
Triple H is drafted to Monday Night Raw!!!
Promo: Rey Mysterio makes his way down to the ring, microphone in hand.............
Mysterio claims he made a mistake last night, he made a mistake by pinning Sin Cara....................
because he didn't expect Sin Cara to be such a whiny little bitch about it.....................Rey then goes onto reminf Sin Cara that he is a FOUR time World Champion, that he won on his own, while Sin Cara has won nothing on his own, so he'll be fine going it alone.....................whereas Sin Cara NEEDS him................and then from out of nowhere Doug Williams jumps the ring and attacks Rey Mysterio............and then Magnus joins in.............as Mysterio is laid out.
Backstage Promo: A J Styles claims that as the Phenomenal One he has a guaranteed contract with WWE, but because he has nothing else to do, he will compete in the Battle Royal this Friday, but he has other plans when he returns to Monday Night Raw................the WWE Title.
but he may have overlooked the fact that Edge, after his bail had been paid, will be back on Raw next week............
And now it's time for our Main Event...........as McIntyre faces the WWE Champion, the winner of which determines the next WWE Title contender...............
Drew McIntyre v Goldust
Mid Match: AWESOME!!!!!!
The Titantron bursts into sound, and out strides The Miz, one week removed from the option Drew McIntyre offered to him to join The USB...........
Is he here to accept?
Winner: Goldust via Pinfall.
The Miz threw a Steel Chair into the ring, and then distracted the referee, however the chair landed nearer to Goldust, who slammed the chair into the ground, and in very similar circumstances to the late Eddie Guerrero fell to the ground, hearing the sound, the referee turned, saw Goldust down, McIntyre standing and the Steel Chair, began to call for the DQ, but McIntyre denied it, begged the ref to not Disqualify him, and then it happened, Goldust rolled him up, and won the match.
Post Match: As Goldust left, Miz walked calmly over to the announce team and declared "That was unfortunate" with a huge grin on his face................and then quickly entered the ring and delivered a Skull Crushing Finale to the irate McIntyre............
And now it's the Final draft pick of the night...............
"The Icon" Sting is drafted to Smackdown
Promo: All of a sudden the sound of Shattered Glass sounds, and out strides Stone Cold Steve Austin, the announcement he promised us last week is about to be made..............
Firstly Stone Cold claims that WWE last night flew the flag of True Wrestling Quality in the battleground,
But now onto his announcement.................an announcement that nobody, even his own family knows about, and ut won't go down well, in fact even he doesn;t like it.................
the last time he wrestled in the ring was back in February, when he was slammed through the announce table by Abyss, and then faced the humiliation of tapping out....................and at the time he knew something was wrong....................
As a result he was sent to a Local Medical Facility for treatment, for 2 months they worked on it, but the Diagnosis was he had suffered a Cruciate Ligament Injury, and 8 days ago, he was told that his knees were gone,, his Wrestling career was over............
and with that, he claims the time has come for someone else to stomp some Mud holes and whoop Ass.................
Just then Samoa Joe comes down to the ring.............as a sign of respect he shakes Austins hand and applauds him...........
Stone Col calls for some beers......................and then the attack happens.........Samo Joe locks in the Coquina Clutch, choking Stone Cold out in the ring, before collecting a Steel Chair, wrapping it around Austins Ankle and then stamping on it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,As referees and Security rush down to the ring, Jor ;eaves smiling to himself, as the Medical Team rush by with a Stretcher...............
