My WWE

Monday Night RAW
January 4, 2010

(As the RAW theme ends, out comes Vince McMahon alongside him is Shane.)

Vince: As many of you know, RAW -- and the entire WWE -- has recently been shaken from the foundation. A new roster, with new opportunities, awaits you in the coming weeks, the coming months -- maybe even years, who knows? And with this new arrival, I leave my son Shane in control of the company.
Shane: Thanks, dad. (He turns to the crowd.) What do you think? Good enough for you?

(The crowd gives a mixed, but mostly positive, reaction.)

Shane: In my first action, I will be making the following match one for the United States Championship! Evan Bourne takes on The Miz!

(The crowd pops for Bourne's name, but Miz draws heat.)

Shane: Now, now...I know you may not like The Miz, but tha's not all I have to announce. Our Main Event tonight will feature The Big Show taking on John Cena one-on-one in a Number One Contender's Match for the WWE Championship! In a few weeks we have the Royal Rumble: the winner of this match, and the winner of next week's match, will face off there. There are a few more surprises throughout the night, so stay tuned.

(The two leave, and RAW's theme plays as the announcers run through what just happened.)

The Miz vs. Evan Bourne
United States Championship Match
Recap: Miz is debuting a new theme and Bourne debuts a new attire in this championship match, which starts out with Miz taking control with a DDT, only to get too confident and wind up on the outside for his trouble. Bourne taunts Miz, but doesn't see him climbing into the ring, which ends with Miz hitting some hard knees to Bourne's head. Miz goes high-risk, but eats Bourne's boot to the gut on the way down and Bourne hits an around-the-world DDT. Miz rolls to his feet after some berating by Bourne and hits a flying forearm, but Bourne gains control again. Bourne tries for a running shot, but eats a forearm! Miz slides beneath his legs as he's stunned, nailing a neckbreaker from behind and then hitting a curb-stomp on Bourne while down. Miz covers, but gets only two. Miz seems frustrated and he charges Bourne, but Bourne moves and Miz goes to the outside, where Bourne tries to follow but gets hung up on the ropes. Miz slides into the ring and charges, but Bourne hits an innovative small package for a two count. Bourne retains control. Miz is down as Bourne goes to the apron, but Miz jumps to his feet and knocks Bourne down to the outside! Miz follows and focuses on Bourne's head with knees; Miz with complete control as they head into the ring at a count of six, and Miz hits a facebuster. Cover, but he only gets two. Miz hits another cub-stomp, but only gets two again and he goes high-risk. Elbow slightly connects. Miz gains control again, taking Bourne down with a forearm, before taunting and heading to the top rope! Miz hits the forearm from the top and he lifts Bourne, who is able to reverse the first attempt but Miz retaliates with a reversal of his own into the Mizard of Oz! Miz lifts Bourne and goes for the Reality Check, but Bourne ducks and avoids it; Bourne spins around, but Miz catches him and nails the Skull Crushing Finale for the three and the United States Championship.
Winner and new United States Champion: The Miz

(The Miz celebrates his victory, but is rudely interrupted as Carlito's theme hits and he comes out onto the stage.)

Carlito: Congratulations, Miz. You won. You're the champion.
Miz: ...
Carlito: I know what many of you are thinking: "He's just coming out to challenge for the belt, right?" Wrong. Miz. I want an alliance. I have spoken to a few other members of the RAW locker room and they agree that it's time we band together to run RAW the way WE want it done. What do you say?
Miz: I say...

(The crowd boos.)

Miz: I don't need any of you!
Carlito: ...
Miz: And you know why?
Carlito: Because you're The Miz, and you're --
Miz: AWESOME!
Carlito: No. Right now, just stupid...

(Suddenly, from behind, Jack Swagger and Mr. Kennedy nail The Miz with some hard shots. He goes down, and they continue. Carlito makes his way to the ring, and Swagger turns to see Evan coming off the top rope towards him: he's caught. Swagger turns it into the Gutwrench Powerbomb, and Bourne's out. Carlito is in the ring and he holds up the United States Championship.)

Carlito: This...is mine...well, it will be.

(Carlito throws the belt onto The Miz and starts to walk away, but he comes back and tells Swagger to lock in a Full Nelson on The Miz; he does, and Carlito smacks him in the face with the belt. Carlito tells Swagger to lift him up. Again, Swagger does and sets him onto Kennedy's shoulders as if going for the Green Bay Plunge -- they hit it, and the new United States Champion is laid out. A referee finally makes his way to the ring and the trio heads ringside.)

The Brian Kendrick vs. Carlito with Jack Swagger and Mr. Kennedy
Recap: Carlito, Swagger, and Kennedy are matching with red on black to symbolize their unity; Kendrick looks distressed. He's turned inside-out by a left-arm cltohesline to start things off before Carlito sends him into the ropes and catches him with a sit-down arm drag. Carlito keeps control on the ground before trying for a small package that only gets one. Kendrick rolls to his feet, but eats a reverse DDT for his troubles. Carlito shows technical prowess as he takes Kendrick to the center of the ring and down him with a Judo-style head drag into a headlock, followed by a pin attempt for one; Carlito hits a russian leg sweep, followed by a springboard body splash, and then finished the combo with a knee to the forearm.

I've written a good number of RAW shows, but Smackdown!'s trailing a bit. I will, in any case, keep going now. Haha.
