Show Opening

Drew McIntyre is announced to the ring to kick off tonight’s WWE Monday Night RAW as we see still-frame pictures from the Drew McIntyre vs. Bill Goldberg match from last night’s WWE Royal Rumble 2021 and commentary gives a quick run down of how the match went with McIntyre kicking out of the Jack Hammer and then hitting the Claymore for the three count pin and win. Goldberg then raising McIntyre’s hand in victory!

In-Ring – WWE Champion Drew McIntyre

“Welcome everybody to WWE Monday Night RAW!” McIntyre begins, adding that we’re taking it up a notch tonight as we are officially on the road to Wrestlemania!! McIntyre says he earned Goldberg’s respect last night, and Goldberg earned McIntyre’s as well. McIntyre then breaks down last night’s matches as well as Bianca Belair winning the Women’s Royal Rumble 2021.

McIntyre notes he had his eye on the Men’s Royal Rumble 2021… where he is interrupted by Edge’s entrance theme. Edge makes his way down the ramp! “I was literally, about to get to you. If I can think of anybody, where do I begin? Ever since I came to America, on the road to WWE, I was always around you. You have been a mentor to me.” McIntyre then goes on to share he remembers when Edge had to retire, and how terrible it was.

McIntyre continues that he remembers when Edge came back, and how he felt. AJ Styles had his foot in McIntyre’s throat in the Rumble and he heard, “You think you know me?” and there was Edge. McIntyre then shares how it’s “blown his mind” to watch Edge come back, and then coming into the Royal Rumble as #1, and winning. McIntyre states he is proud and happy for Edge.

Edge begins, “I appreciate the compliments, I really do. And Drew, I really like you, and I have been a mentor to you. So I have to be blunt with you. What is wrong with you? I won the Royal Rumble last night. That means I can challenge you for that championship at Wrestlemania.” Edge says he is a viable threat, but instead McIntyre showers him with compliments. McIntyre says that’s what an opportunist would do, but that’s not what kind of champion Drew McIntyre is.

Sheamus Interrupts

“Look at this, look at this… the Rated R Superstar with the big win last night big fella…” Sheamus begins. Sheamus then says he is NOT happy for Edge, who is he to judge McIntyre. McIntyre who has carried this company through uncharted waters. “He may want to take the high road on this, but I sure as hell don’t” Sheamus ends. McIntyre stops Sheamus as he has his vest off. Edge states, “Listen, you’ll know when I make my decision, whoever I choose, I’m walking out of Wrestlemania, as a champion.” Edge exits the ring on that note.

Drew McIntyre shows his belt to Edge who makes his way up the ramp. As McIntyre turns to his best friend, Sheamus delivers a Brogue Kick before exiting the ring. Sheamus then leaves the ring and heads up the ramp, putting his hat back on at the top of the ramp to stare down McIntyre who is holding his jaw, looking saddened laying in the ring as we head to our first commercial break of the evening!

As we return from the first commercial break of the evening, we immediately get a replay of Sheamus taking out Drew McIntyre with a Brogue Kick before we head backstage where Sheamus is waiting to be interviewed.

Backstage Interview – Sheamus

We head backstage where Charly Caruso sees Sheamus and asks him about what just happened, as he and McIntyre have been friends for years. Sheamus is tired of being known as “Drew’s friend” and furthermore, they are no longer friends! Sheamus goes on to share that he wants the WWE Title. Sheamus grabs his bags from Drew Gulak, who is standing nearby, and then walks off as a confused Caruso looks on.

Orton goes on about sending Edge home to be a husband and father, but because he loves him like a brother. Orton says Edge thinks he’s going to main event WrestleMania 37 but here’s a little secret… he’s not.

They put Bad Bunny over and introduce him to the ring.

Bad Bunny Joins

After being introduced, Bad Bunny makes his way down to the ring and grabs a pink microphone (convenient!). Miz calls him “Mr. Bunny” and thanks him for being here. Miz wants to clear the air on any misunderstanding they have from last night.

Video Clip

We are shown a video clip of Bad Bunny’s performance from last night’s Royal Rumble. (Bad Bunny performed his song “Booker T” before being asked by Miz and Morrison to make a song about them. Bad Bunny turned them down. Later on, Miz destroyed Bad Bunny’s DJ stand, leading to Bad Bunny coming out to confront him and Morrison. Damian Priest eliminated Miz and Morrison from the Royal Rumble. Bad Bunny then hit them with a cross-body block to the floor.)

As we return to MIZ TV after the video clip, Miz starts the conversation as he says they did things they probably both regret last night. Two wrongs don’t make a right. Miz apologizes from the deepest part of his heart. Bad Bunny accepts his apology. Miz asks if there’s anything Bad Bunny wants to say to them. Bad Bunny has nothing to say. Morrison says Bad Bunny cost them their shot at WrestleMania. Miz says he heard from a little birdie that Bad Bunny wants to be a WWE Superstar. Bad Bunny says it is one of his dreams.

Miz says many superstars under his learning tree have had successful careers. Take Daniel Bryan: he made an average looking B+ play and made him a beloved international superstar and a WrestleMania main eventer. Imagine what they could do for Bad Bunny’s career. They could teach him how to be a WWE Superstar. All they ask in return is a favor in helping them record an album. They’ll get Grammys while Bad Bunny will get a Slammy. Morrison makes up a song and Miz joins in. Bad Bunny looks like he’s going to be sick.

Bad Bunny says they are… special, but he’s not interested. Miz isn’t happy. First he doesn’t apologize and now he’s not interested. Bad Bunny isn’t talking to Shakira or J’Lo. He’s talking to Miz and Morrison in their ring and their show. Bad Bunny tells them to relax. The only reason he came here is because a good friend wanted to be on Miz TV.
