Intro plays.
Justin Roberts says welcome to Monday Night Raw “Starring Brock Lesnar”
Mr. Laurinaitis comes out. He heads into the ring to address the crowd.
In one night, he revolutionized the WWE. He did it for the fans and for “People Power”. Each and every one should thank him for having the foresight to bring the most destructive force, the most dangerous athlete. A man whose face will be synonymous with the WWE for years to come. A man that at one night beat up John Cena so bad that John will never be the man he once was and was proven to be a mere mortal. A man who turned the WWE on its ear in one night more than anybody has in the past, who brought legitimacy back to the WWE. And that man, he is honored to introduce, is Brock Lesnar!
Brock Lesnar comes out. He heads into the ring with Mr. Laurinaitis. He shakes his hand and grabs a microphone.
Last night, the world got to witness first hand Brock Lesnar bringing the pain. Exactly what he told the world he was going to do.
Mr. Laurinaitis says he sure did. That’s why he’s the face of-
Triple H’s entrance plays. WWE COO Triple H comes out and heads into the ring. He shakes hands with Mr. Laurinaitis and Lesnar before speaking.
Mr. Laurinaitis says he’s sure that Triple came out to congratulate the new face of the WWE.
He says he’s out here to do what he’s supposed to be out here to do, but he doesn’t have the guts to do it, so he will. Brock’s days of holding up the WWE are through. The private jet he flew in on will not be taking him back home unless he wants to pay for it. That goes along with the limo that brought him here. If he wants to take a limo back on his dime, go for it. He’s not getting a raise. He’s not being treated special. And the name of this show always has been, and always will be, Monday Night Raw. Period. Nobody is bigger than the WWE. Nobody is bigger than Raw. If he wants to be here, he will get everything he has coming to him in the contract he negotiated when he first came back. The contract he negotiated with John Laurinaitis that he approved. Not the demands that he bullied out of Laurinaitis which he agreed to and did not have the authority to without him approving it, which he will not be approving.
Mr. Laurinaitis says as Executive Vice President of Talent Relations, he entrusted him to deal with all talent contracts. He did this contract in the fairness of the WWE. He doesn’t think it’s right that they go back on their word.
Triple H says he knew he didn’t have the authority to make that contract without his approval. Brock is no “country bumpkin”. He’s a shrewd businessman. That’s why he’s built Brock Lesnar into a global brand. That’s also why he knows that what he did with Laurinaitis last week isn’t going to hold up. He had no authority to do so and he’s not going to get any of it. Don’t get him wrong. He wants Brock here. The WWE Universe wants Brock here. They might not all like or love him. Some may hate him. But it doesn’t matter. They want to see him in a rematch with John Cena. They want to see him face CM Punk, Randy Orton, Sheamus. They wanna see all of that. If he’s gonna give that to them, he’s gonna do so under the original contract they agreed on which he said was more than reasonable. If he feels wronged, he gets it. If he doesn’t want to resign, that’s fine. If he wants to take his ball and pack it away with his loss to John Cena, and he wants to take all that and go home, that’s fine. But he doesn’t think Lesnar wants that. So what’s it going to be?
Mr. Laurinaitis says it isn’t fair to put a talent of Lesnar’s stature in this position.
Triple H says he’s done enough here. This is between him and Brock. This is between them, forget John. The original terms were face. Wanna do this?
Mr. Laurinaitis says he’s not being reasonable.
John! JOHN! He’s gonna say this one time only. SHUT UP!
He wants Brock here. Do they got a deal?
Mr. Laurinaitis says he’s being disrespectful. He may have to address this to the Board of Directors.
Triple H turns to face Laurinaitis.
He says he doesn’t think he understands-
Lesnar suddenly attacks Triple H from behind. He pummels Triple H in a corner of the ring, throwing lefts and rights at his face while pulling his business jacket off. Laurinaitis exits the ring. Triple H fights back with rights of his own, but Lesnar stops him with a knee to the ribs. He them applies the Kimura Armlock submission that he applied to Cena at Extreme Rules. Lesnar drops Triple H on the mat and pulls at the arm until he snaps it.
Suddenly, Sheamus, R-Truth, Kofi Kingston and Big Show come running down the ramp. They slide into the ring and Lesnar exits the ring. Ring official runs down the ramp and surround Lesnar while the Superstars check on Triple H. Lesnar grabs the steel steps and lifts them off in anger. Triple H can be heard saying that his arm is broken. Lesnar walks around the ring and heads up the ramp while Triple H is checked on by a doctor. Lesnar watches as Triple H is helped up by Show and R-Truth. Lesnar heads to the backstage area and Triple H gets assisted out of the ring.

Lawler and Cole talk about Lesnar snapping for not getting what he wants. Medical updates will be given on Triple H during the show. It’s likely that Lesnar has gotten himself fired for his actions.

Tonight, Triple H felt his arm break. Last night he could’ve sworn he felt the same thing. He thought he would be in emergency room in a cast, but he’s not. He’ll have to wear a sling for a little bit, but he gets to be here. It brings him joy to say that there were no breaks or tears. From his shoulder to his arm he’s strained, but he’s still here. He’s been in WWE a long time, and he’s learned that there’s a difference between being injured and being hurt. When you’re injured, they send you home. When you’re hurt, you’re in a little pain, but you get to come out and do what you do best, so he is here!
Mr. Laurinaitis’ music plays.
So is this guy!
Laurinaitis walks down to the ring and steps inside.
Laurinaitis says he’s glad he showed up tonight.
Cena says let him guess. His new brilliant scheme is to commemorate the new DVD release of No Holds Barred and get Zeus as his opponent at Over The Limit.
No he did not. But he wants to let him know that when he said to Lesnar that he was the new face of the WWE, he was trying to motivate him.
He was trying to motivate him? Johnny, you motivate someone by saying “way to go, sport!” What he did was hire a mercenary to take him out.
He was trying to push him to the limit which brought out the best John Cena possible.
Cena says he was pushing him alright. He was trying to push him out the door.
Mr. Laurinaitis says he should really be thanking him
He should be thanking him. Thank you. Thank you for being a short sighted corporate jackass who sounds like he smoked five lifetimes worth of cigarettes and he’s got his head so far up his own ass that he brushes his teeth with toilet paper. Thank you.
John, he’s the permanent General Manager of Raw and Smackdown, and he needs to build a relationship with him. He has the power to make his life very easy for very difficult.
Difficult…he is an idiot! He just survived an Extreme Rules match with former UFC Champion Brock Lesnar and he’s gonna make his life more difficult? The only thing difficult right now is the fact that he has to sit and listen to him run this program down in the good name of “People Power”.
John, in the name of “People Power”, he’s willing to put the past in the past. Let’s talk about the future. Let’s talk about in three weeks at Over The Limit. He’s not ready to compete right now because of Lesnar, but as he just said, if you’re hurt, you do what you love to do. So let him introduce his opponent…
Lord Tensai’s music plays. Tensai comes out and heads to the ring along with his assistant Sakamoto. Tensai takes off his ceremonial attire along the way. Cena readies himself for a fight.
