Pre-Show:
We are in Washington D.C. for this week’s episode of Raw that will be the final Raw before Money in the Bank on Sunday night. Before we get to the program on the USA Network, we go to the WWE Network for the WWE PreShow Panel.
This week, it is hosted by Josh Mathews and he is joined by regulars Booker T and Alex Riley. This week’s fourth man on the panel is Santino Marella.
The briefcase is above the ring instead of the title belts.
Booker says that he is looking forward to what Stephanie McMahon is going to say about Vickie Guerrero. Alex tells us that we are getting a rematch of the four on three tag match from Smackdown tonight on Raw.
Josh says that it feels like something big is going to happen, but Alex interrupts and he says that there is another deal on WWEShop.com.
Josh mentions the announcement from the start of Raw and we see a video package showing how Roman Reigns got into the Money in the Bank ladder match for the WWE Title.
Josh mentions that the Authority is not happy that Vickie Guerrero’s actions caused Roman Reigns to get into the Ladder Match for the WWE Title.
We see how John Cena got into the Money in the Bank Ladder Match for the WWE Title.
We see the seven men who will have the opportunity to become the new WWE World Champion. Josh asks for predictions and Santino says that it is anyone’s game, but Roman Reigns has momentum. Josh brings up that Randy Orotn did not have to qualify. Booker says that Orton won last year so he is a threat. Booker says that he is picking Orton, but he would like to see Sheamus win so we can see Brock Lesnar versus Sheamus.
Alex mentions that we have not seen Randy in action for a while. He says that it could come down to Cena or Del Rio.
Josh asks if it is different because of the stakes. Santino agrees with Josh. Santino says that this will be a longer match so the man with the better cardio will have the advantage.
We go to the ring for footage from the Adam Rose versus Heath Slater match that will air on Thursday night on Superstars on the WWE Network.
Rose punches Slater but Slater with a leg lariat and he gets a near fall. Slater and Hornswoggle face off with the entourage but Rose with a baseball slide when Slater tries to get back into the ring. Rose goes up top and hits a cross body followed by jabs.
We return to the panel. Josh asks Alex Riley and Alex says that he thinks Alberto Del Rio will win because he has won before and he has a good strategy.
Josh wonders why no one picked Bray Wyatt. He asks what will happen if Wyatt wins. Santino says that Wyatt might not have the endurance for the match and what if he is afraid of heights. Josh asks Booker about being afraid of heights and how it comes into play for a match like this. Booker says that he never did well in ladder matches or cage matches because he felt out of his comfort zone. Bray usually has Rowan and Harper, but they won’t be there. Alex says that if Bray does not win, it won’t affect him as much as the other six men in the match.
In case you missed the announcement earlier, you didn’t have to watch Smackdown because we are getting a rematch of the four on three handicap match tonight on Raw.
RAW:
We are in Washington, D.C. and your announcers are Michael ‘Bullets’ Cole, Jerry ‘Senators’ Lawler, and John ‘Capitals’ Layfield.
We start off the 1100th episode of Raw with one of the Principal Owners of WWE, Stephanie McMahon.
The title belts are now hanging above the ring, instead of the briefcase that was over the ring for the pre show.
Stephanie says that as principal owner of this billion dollar business, one thing she cannot tolerate is gross negligence. When someone cannot complete the most simple task . . . Vickie Guerrero cannot get her boss a simple cup of coffee. Therefore, Vickie Guerrero has to come out to face the consequences.
Vickie tells Stephanie it is so great to see that she is doing better. She always has the company’s best intentions in mind. She says that Roman Reigns put that stuff in her coffee.
Stephanie says that Roman Reigns was her biggest failure to date. Vickie was given simple instructions by her and her husband. Stephanie says that they told her not to let Roman Reigns in the Battle Royal. Now, Roman competed in and won the battle royal. Now, Roman is competing for the WWE Championship at the Money in the Bank Pay Per View. That means that Roman has a one in seven chance of winning the title. That is on Vickie.
Vickie says that it won’t happen again. She promises.
Stephanie tells Vickie she is damn right it won’t happen again. For nine years, you have been riding the coattails of your dead husband Eddie Guerrero. They felt pity for her. They could not make her a Diva, so they made her a General Manager and she couldn’t do that right.
Before Stephanie can utter those two words, Vickie tells Stephanie that she will do anything, even beg.
The crowd chants ‘No’ and Stephanie likes the idea of begging. Stephanie yells at Vickie to beg more and then she calls Vickie pathetic. Stephanie says that Vickie is like a cockroach or a Twinkie. She gives Vickie two options. She can be fired or be the General Manager of Smackdown . . . if she can win her match tonight.
Vickie says that she is not a competitor so Stephanie asks if that is her resignation. Vickie asks who her opponent is. Stephanie says that Vickie’s opponent is Stephanie McMahon.
Vickie says that there is one name that people respect more than McMahon is Guerrero. Eddie taught her how to lie, cheat, and steal so she accepts. Vickie gives an emphatic “EXCUSE ME” and then she leaves the ring.
Michael mentions Triple H’s confirmation of the announcement about the second ladder match.
Tonight, Triple H will announce the other five (according to the graphic) entrants in the match later tonight.

Bray appears on the TitanTron. He says that he is so very very proud of them. A leader that does not glorify the triumphs of his family is no leader at all. They look down on creation at the fallen bodies of his victims. You will see him climb that ladder. His victory will bring a glorious new era. The Eater of Worlds will be declared the champion of all of the souls he passed on his way to the top.
His brothers will prove their eagerness when they destroy all of the little creatures. They will act like giants as they spread their message.
Follow the Buzzards.
We go to commercial.
We are back and Daniel Bryan will appear on the Money in the Bank Kickoff Show.
It is time to take a look at Lana and Rusev’s tour of Washington D.C., complete with their music. Lana says that they came to Washington D.C. to see why you care. They stand in front of the Capitol. She says that they make laws in there that make this country the laughing stock of the world. We see the White House, where the leader of your country makes decisions that make your country weaker.
That is why the Kremlin and Russian Federation is superior. Your treasured landmarks are pathetic. Your government is pathetic. Your country is pathetic. She tells everyone to wake up. She says that there is only one decision. You need to bow down to the superior leader, Vladimir Putin. There is no one who can stop the Revolution of Rusev.

We are back and Triple H makes his way to the ring.
Hunter says that he can come to Washington where people make decisions that make this country worse, but he is the bad guy. Hunter says that all he does is what is best for business. That is not some empty catchphrase, it is the root of everything that he does. Not only will there be a Championship Ladder match on Sunday, there will be a traditional Money in the Bank Contract Ladder Match. We see the briefcase back above the ring. The owner of that briefcase will get a chance to earn a WWE Title Match over the next year. It virtually guarantees the winner of the case, the opportunity to write their own future.

The first person is Kofi Kingston. The second person is Jack Swagger. The third entrant is Dolph Ziggler. The fourth person is Rob Van Dam. The final person to enter the match is Wade Barrett.

Hunter laughs and then he says that he knows that this man will win the match. He is a ring general and the future of the business . . . Seth Rollins.
Seth is surprised that they are not over it because it has been three weeks. Have you really not moved on? Seth says that he is over it and he has moved on. If you love Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns as much as you do, you should be thanking him because he is responsible for their success.
Seth says that he took the Shield as high as they could and then he dropped the dead weight. You can call him a sell out all you want. Roman can growl all he wants and Dean can get all twitchy. Seth says that he created and build the Shield. The Shield got him this far. On Sunday, him and him alone will climb the ladder and grab the contract. You can call him a sellout, but on Sunday, you will have to call him Mr. Money in the Bank.
Rob Van Dam’s music plays and he comes out. He says that it seems like they don’t take him seriously.
Seth says that he takes him seriously, but would take him more seriously if it was 2005.
Rob says that was when Seth would have to ask his parents to stay up to watch Rob because he wanted to be a wrestler.
Rob says that he was a former Money in the Bank winner and a former WWE Champion. Rob says that Hunter totally remembers when Rob crushed his trachea at the first Elimination Chamber match. It is lame to brag about the past. Let’s live in the present because we have this pay per view on Sunday. Why not beat Hunter’s new golden boy right now.
Hunter says that is a great idea and we have a match.

He wants to see Dean Ambrose’s face when he is holding the briefcase.
Hunter says that it is on him if it blows up in his face.
Seth wants Dean and Hunter loves his confidence so Dean is in the match.
Wade Barrett says Dolph Ziggler experienced a miracle last week. He earned a fluke victory. Then Dolph’s ego went too high. Wade’s got some bad news.

Pre-Show:
We are in Washington D.C. for this week’s episode of Raw that will be the final Raw before Money in the Bank on Sunday night. Before we get to the program on the USA Network, we go to the WWE Network for the WWE PreShow Panel.
This week, it is hosted by Josh Mathews and he is joined by regulars Booker T and Alex Riley. This week’s fourth man on the panel is Santino Marella.
The briefcase is above the ring instead of the title belts.
Booker says that he is looking forward to what Stephanie McMahon is going to say about Vickie Guerrero. Alex tells us that we are getting a rematch of the four on three tag match from Smackdown tonight on Raw.
Josh says that it feels like something big is going to happen, but Alex interrupts and he says that there is another deal on WWEShop.com.
Josh mentions the announcement from the start of Raw and we see a video package showing how Roman Reigns got into the Money in the Bank ladder match for the WWE Title.
Josh mentions that the Authority is not happy that Vickie Guerrero’s actions caused Roman Reigns to get into the Ladder Match for the WWE Title.
We see how John Cena got into the Money in the Bank Ladder Match for the WWE Title.
We see the seven men who will have the opportunity to become the new WWE World Champion. Josh asks for predictions and Santino says that it is anyone’s game, but Roman Reigns has momentum. Josh brings up that Randy Orotn did not have to qualify. Booker says that Orton won last year so he is a threat. Booker says that he is picking Orton, but he would like to see Sheamus win so we can see Brock Lesnar versus Sheamus.
Alex mentions that we have not seen Randy in action for a while. He says that it could come down to Cena or Del Rio.
Josh asks if it is different because of the stakes. Santino agrees with Josh. Santino says that this will be a longer match so the man with the better cardio will have the advantage.

Josh wonders why no one picked Bray Wyatt. He asks what will happen if Wyatt wins. Santino says that Wyatt might not have the endurance for the match and what if he is afraid of heights. Josh asks Booker about being afraid of heights and how it comes into play for a match like this. Booker says that he never did well in ladder matches or cage matches because he felt out of his comfort zone. Bray usually has Rowan and Harper, but they won’t be there. Alex says that if Bray does not win, it won’t affect him as much as the other six men in the match.
In case you missed the announcement earlier, you didn’t have to watch Smackdown because we are getting a rematch of the four on three handicap match tonight on Raw.
RAW:
We are in Washington, D.C. and your announcers are Michael ‘Bullets’ Cole, Jerry ‘Senators’ Lawler, and John ‘Capitals’ Layfield.
We start off the 1100th episode of Raw with one of the Principal Owners of WWE, Stephanie McMahon.
The title belts are now hanging above the ring, instead of the briefcase that was over the ring for the pre show.
Stephanie says that as principal owner of this billion dollar business, one thing she cannot tolerate is gross negligence. When someone cannot complete the most simple task . . . Vickie Guerrero cannot get her boss a simple cup of coffee. Therefore, Vickie Guerrero has to come out to face the consequences.
Vickie tells Stephanie it is so great to see that she is doing better. She always has the company’s best intentions in mind. She says that Roman Reigns put that stuff in her coffee.
Stephanie says that Roman Reigns was her biggest failure to date. Vickie was given simple instructions by her and her husband. Stephanie says that they told her not to let Roman Reigns in the Battle Royal. Now, Roman competed in and won the battle royal. Now, Roman is competing for the WWE Championship at the Money in the Bank Pay Per View. That means that Roman has a one in seven chance of winning the title. That is on Vickie.
Vickie says that it won’t happen again. She promises.
Stephanie tells Vickie she is damn right it won’t happen again. For nine years, you have been riding the coattails of your dead husband Eddie Guerrero. They felt pity for her. They could not make her a Diva, so they made her a General Manager and she couldn’t do that right.
Before Stephanie can utter those two words, Vickie tells Stephanie that she will do anything, even beg.
The crowd chants ‘No’ and Stephanie likes the idea of begging. Stephanie yells at Vickie to beg more and then she calls Vickie pathetic. Stephanie says that Vickie is like a cockroach or a Twinkie. She gives Vickie two options. She can be fired or be the General Manager of Smackdown . . . if she can win her match tonight.
Vickie says that she is not a competitor so Stephanie asks if that is her resignation. Vickie asks who her opponent is. Stephanie says that Vickie’s opponent is Stephanie McMahon.
Vickie says that there is one name that people respect more than McMahon is Guerrero. Eddie taught her how to lie, cheat, and steal so she accepts. Vickie gives an emphatic “EXCUSE ME” and then she leaves the ring.
Michael mentions Triple H’s confirmation of the announcement about the second ladder match.
Tonight, Triple H will announce the other five (according to the graphic) entrants in the match later tonight.

Bray appears on the TitanTron. He says that he is so very very proud of them. A leader that does not glorify the triumphs of his family is no leader at all. They look down on creation at the fallen bodies of his victims. You will see him climb that ladder. His victory will bring a glorious new era. The Eater of Worlds will be declared the champion of all of the souls he passed on his way to the top.
His brothers will prove their eagerness when they destroy all of the little creatures. They will act like giants as they spread their message.

It is time to take a look at Lana and Rusev’s tour of Washington D.C., complete with their music. Lana says that they came to Washington D.C. to see why you care. They stand in front of the Capitol. She says that they make laws in there that make this country the laughing stock of the world. We see the White House, where the leader of your country makes decisions that make your country weaker.
That is why the Kremlin and Russian Federation is superior. Your treasured landmarks are pathetic. Your government is pathetic. Your country is pathetic. She tells everyone to wake up. She says that there is only one decision. You need to bow down to the superior leader, Vladimir Putin. There is no one who can stop the Revolution of Rusev.

We are back and Triple H makes his way to the ring.
Hunter says that he can come to Washington where people make decisions that make this country worse, but he is the bad guy. Hunter says that all he does is what is best for business. That is not some empty catchphrase, it is the root of everything that he does. Not only will there be a Championship Ladder match on Sunday, there will be a traditional Money in the Bank Contract Ladder Match. We see the briefcase back above the ring. The owner of that briefcase will get a chance to earn a WWE Title Match over the next year. It virtually guarantees the winner of the case, the opportunity to write their own future.

The first person is Kofi Kingston. The second person is Jack Swagger. The third entrant is Dolph Ziggler. The fourth person is Rob Van Dam. The final person to enter the match is Wade Barrett.

Hunter laughs and then he says that he knows that this man will win the match. He is a ring general and the future of the business . . . Seth Rollins.
Seth is surprised that they are not over it because it has been three weeks. Have you really not moved on? Seth says that he is over it and he has moved on. If you love Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns as much as you do, you should be thanking him because he is responsible for their success.
Seth says that he took the Shield as high as they could and then he dropped the dead weight. You can call him a sell out all you want. Roman can growl all he wants and Dean can get all twitchy. Seth says that he created and build the Shield. The Shield got him this far. On Sunday, him and him alone will climb the ladder and grab the contract. You can call him a sellout, but on Sunday, you will have to call him Mr. Money in the Bank.
Rob Van Dam’s music plays and he comes out. He says that it seems like they don’t take him seriously.
Seth says that he takes him seriously, but would take him more seriously if it was 2005.
Rob says that was when Seth would have to ask his parents to stay up to watch Rob because he wanted to be a wrestler.
Rob says that he was a former Money in the Bank winner and a former WWE Champion. Rob says that Hunter totally remembers when Rob crushed his trachea at the first Elimination Chamber match. It is lame to brag about the past. Let’s live in the present because we have this pay per view on Sunday. Why not beat Hunter’s new golden boy right now.
Hunter says that is a great idea and we have a match.

Hunter says that it is on him if it blows up in his face.
Seth wants Dean and Hunter loves his confidence so Dean is in the match.
Wade Barrett says Dolph Ziggler experienced a miracle last week. He earned a fluke victory. Then Dolph’s ego went too high. Wade’s got some bad news.
