Fantasy WWE: Monday Night Raw (May 28)

Hey, Bleacher Report!

This is the posting of this past Monday's episode of Monday Night Raw.

As the name implies, this is "Fantasy Raw." By no means will any of this ever happen—it's just a continuation of the Fantasy WWE Series. 

The ratings war started a few weeks back, so please leave a comment with a rating from 1 (hated it) to 10 (loved it). Please give us some feedback. It will only help us.

A brief background: In October 2011, Nate Scaccia and I represented Raw while Kevin Berge and Nate Giese represented Smackdown in the second-ever WWE Fantasy Draft. After a lot of demanding schedules, the shows are now run by Michael Broughton and Will Owen on Raw, while Charl G, Jack McKenzie and George Cushnie control Smackdown. Both shows are putting on great episodes week in, week out and are very interesting.

Writer's note: Just to show you guys that I read and value your comments, I've recently begun implementing match times into my matches, and now I am going to post my Raw roster every week.

This is just three weeks after Backlash, which you can view here. What's going to happen with corrupted Vince McMahon running the show in the final week of his four-week plan? Only one way to find out: Let's get to Raw!

Promo: Vince McMahon Comes Down to the Ring

Vince McMahon comes out to start the show, receiving some massive heat from the fans. He climbs into the ring and grabs a mic.

Vince: Ladies and gentlemen, tonight may very well be my last night here on Raw. 

The crowd erupts in cheers, obviously hopeful that he will get the boot.

Vince: However, if that is in fact true, I want to leave with a bang. Before I walk out tonight, I want there to be a brand new World Heavyweight champion! Seth, you have disrespected me for quite a while now, and tonight, I will finally get my revenge. In tonight's main event, Rollins will go up against...

Orton's music goes off and he comes out to a great reaction.

Randy: Listen, I already know how this goes. You don't base your decision off of skill or momentum. Instead, you find the biggest ass kisser and give him the main event. Well I demand you immediately change your mind, or you will regret it for the rest of your life. You may be my boss now, but after you're fired, I will have no problem kicking your head in.

Vince: Excuse me? Is that any way to talk to your superior? I don't plan on losing my job anytime soon, so you may have to deal with me for a much longer time than you hope. Now, I have been in charge before, and you should know by now that I won't take your B.S. If you truly want a spot in tonight’s main event, you will come down to this ring and apologize.

Randy stands up on the ramp for quite some time, before reluctantly making his way into the ring.

Randy: Vince, I'm.....sorry. There, is that good enough?

Vince: No! I want you to get on your knees and beg for the match.

Randy ponders a few moments but drops to his knees in embarrassment.

Randy: I am so very sorry. Please, I am begging you, give me a title shot.

Vince: Hmmmm.....fine. You will get a title shot, but it won't be just any normal match. Tonight's main event will be a triple-threat elimination match for the World Heavyweight Championship, involving you, Seth, and Kassius Ohno. 

Randy: What? Kassius Ohno is involved in this match too? We—

Vince: Shut your mouth right now before I change my mind and take you out of the match!

Randy's face is pure red and he looks ready to snap. However, he slowly climbs out of the ring and walks up the ramp in frustration.

Match 1: The Hart Dynasty vs. the Cólons

Smith and Tyson come out first to a pretty decent pop.

The Cólons come down the ramp next, flanked by Rosa Mendes but happily accepts it. Smith starts out the match against Primo. The ref calls for the bell and the match begins. 

Smith goes right after Primo, hitting a running knee to the face. When Colon gets back to his feet, Hart connects with three rolling belly to belly suplexes, followed up with a butterfly suplex. He makes the early cover. One, two, kick out!

David quickly grabs a hold of Primo and locks in a crucifix arm bar. Primo's arm looks about ready to snap as he writhes in pain. Smith is ruthless with the hold and uses all of his strength to nearly break the arm.

However, Epico hops into the ring and drops an elbow on Smith. Seeing that his partner is in trouble, Tyson joins the action and hits a Hurricanrana, sending Epico careening to the outside.

Primo quickly jumps to his feet and takes advantage of Smith's momentary distraction. When David turns around, Cólon connects with a headbutt, followed with a leg sweep. As Smith falls down to the mat, Primo hops over the ropes and out to the apron. When David pulls himself up, Cólon goes airborne, hitting a springboard cross body.

He goes for the pin. One, two, kick out!

Primo hops to his feet and tags in Epico. Smith tries fighting his way back into the match, but Epico sends him down with multiple back elbows. Epico then tries hitting a back suplex, but David is just too heavy.

Smith takes advantage of the miscue, elbowing his way out and nailing a pendulum backbreaker. He then lifts Epico back up and hits a double-leg slam. Smith goes for the pin. One, two, kick out!

Kidd is begging for the tag, and Smith eventually obliges. Tyson goes soaring in, hitting a huge springboard elbow drop. He makes the cover. One, two, Primo breaks up the pin!

Primo begins pounding on Kidd, but Smith stops him with a big boot. However, the damage has been done.

Epico takes advantage of his partner's work, nailing a huge tornado DDT. Tyson is completely out of it as Epico heads out to the apron before hitting a springboard splash. He makes the pin. One, two, kick out! 

Epico can't believe that move didn't finish him off.

Frustrated, Epico goes for another tornado DDT, but Kidd pushes him off. When Cólon tries going back on the attack, Tyson connects with a roundhouse kick. Kidd then takes advantage of the opportunity, heading to the top rope. When Epico gets to his feet, Tyson connects with a diving spinning wheel kick. He goes for the pin. One, two, kick out!

Kidd can't believe it.

He angrily gets to his feet and tries locking in his newest submission hold, the Dungeon Lock. However, Epico is able to kick his way out of it before quickly making the diving tag to Primo.

Kidd and Primo go back and forth with punches, until Cólon gets the advantage with a savate kick. Primo then bounces off the ropes and nails a huge running knee to the face. He makes the cover. One, two, kick out!

Kidd tries dragging himself over to David in the corner, but Primo stops him with an elbow drop. Primo continues his assault and connects with a huge swinging neckbreaker.

With Tyson on his back, Primo hustles up to the top rope. When Kidd gets to his feet, Cólon hits a huge flying crosbody, but Kidd rolls through and makes the cover. One, two, kick out!

Both wrestlers get up at the same time, but Tyson gets the advantage with a knee to the torso. Kidd then goes for a standing Code Blue, and nails it! He makes the cover. One, two, kick out!

Tyson is completely astonished. Not knowing what else to do, Kidd makes the tag to Smith.

Hart goes right after Primo, hitting a huge delayed vertical suplex. Smith then continues his attack with a foot DDT, into an ankle lock! Primo is hopeless, as David's strength is just too much. He tries kicking his way out, but can't seem to escape. Seeing that his partner is in trouble, Epico comes in and makes the save.

Epico begins to beat down on Smith, but Kidd comes flying in with a springboard bulldog. He then throws Epico to the outside and follows after him, leaving Hart and Primo alone in the ring.  

Smith is able to get to his feet first and takes advantage, connecting with a Northern Lights suplex. When Cólon stands, Hart hits a huge side slam. He makes the cover. One, two, kick out!

The Hart Dynasty just can't seem to put Primo or Epico away. Frustrated, Hart lifts his opponent up and goes for a front powerslam. However, Primo slips out and hits an inverted DDT. Picking up momentum, Primo bounces off the ropes and hits a falling headbutt on Smith. Cólon then makes the tag to Epico, bringing him back into the match.

Epico quickly goes after Hart hitting a knee dropkick, followed up with a shoot kick to the chest. When Smith gets back up, Epico goes for a running corssbody, but is caught.

Hart then nails a body slam before dragging himself to the corner and tagging in Tyson. Kidd looks to end it quickly, trying to lock in the Sharpshooter. However, Epico rolls out of it and hops up to his feet.

The two get up at the same time and each hit a clothesline on each other. Both men are down as the crowd is electric. Eventually, both men use the ropes to get up. Suddenly, Kidd hits a super kick out of nowhere!

Primo tries saving his partner but is sent away by a big boot from DH Smith. Seeing the opportunity, Kidd lock in the Sharpshooter on Epico. After going through multiple grueling beatdowns, Epico has nothing left in the tank and has no choice but to tap out!

HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS AND NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS....THE HART DYNASTY!!

Tyson and Smith celebrate their victory, holding their new Tag Team title belts! After a few minutes, the victorious team heads to the back, smiling the entire way. Meanwhile, both Cólons lie unconscious after a grueling and extremely well-fought match.

Promo: Joe Hennig and David Otunga Backstage

Backstage, Joe Hennig is running around frantically.

Suddenly, he is stopped by David Otunga, who is sporting a sweater and a bow tie. 

Joe: What do you want David? If you haven’t noticed, I’m sort of busy. While you are here though, have you seen Vince McMahon? 

David: Why do you want to speak to Vince? 

Joe: What kind of question is that? Tonight is a huge night! If I could get myself a match tonight, it would be a huge step in my career. 

David: I’ll tell you what. I’ll talk with Vince and try to get you a match. You can call me your personal and business adviser. 

Joe: Really! I kn--- wait. What is the catch? 

David: No catch. All you have to do is sign this contract stating that I receive 10 percent of your overall earnings. 

Joe: That is it? Deal! Where do I sign! 

Joe signs the contract before leaving happily. Meanwhile, David looks on with a selfish grin.

Match 2: Alex Riley vs. Shelton Benjamin

Riley comes out first to another solid pop. He is followed by Shelton, who receives a ton of heat from the fans in attendance. The two competitors get in the ring and are ready to battle. The ref calls for the bell and the match begins!

Riley and Shelton quickly go right after each other, trading blows. However, Benjamin is able to gain the advantage, before connecting with a huge clothesline. Shelton then lifts Alex up and nails a massive belly to belly suplex. Riley is still down as Benjamin bounces off the ropes and jumping implant DDT. He makes the cover. One, two, kick out!

Shelton quickly goes back on the attack, continuing his early dominance. When Alex gets to his feet, Benjamin nails a huge running shoulder block. He doesn't stop there though. Shelton lifts Riley up to his feet and connects a T-Bone suplex. He makes the cover. One, two, kick out!

When Alex gets back up, Shelton goes for a Samoan Slam. However, Riley manages to slip out and connects with a big boot to Benjamin's face. Shelton tries getting back to his feet, but Alex takes him down hard and pummels him with punches. Riley then swings the momentum completely with a huge spine buster.

With Benjamin completely out of it, Alex locks in a knee lock (A.K.A. The Brock Lock). Shelton is seemingly about to tap, having nowhere to go. However, Benjamin is able to connect with a few elbows to the back of Alex's knee, causing him to release the hold. Both men struggle to their feet at about the same time. Riley goes for a clothesline, but is reversed into a hangman's flapjack. When Alex turns back around, Shelton nails a scoop powerslam. He makes the cover. One, two, kick out!

Benjamin gets to his feet, looking to finish the match off. He goes for Pay Dirt, but Riley is able to push him off. When Shelton turns around, he is hit with a huge lifting DDT. Alex makes the cover. One, two, kick out!

Riley drags Shelton up to his feet and goes for pendulum backbreaker. He connects and follows it up with a sidewalk slam. With Benjamin down, Alex locks in a fujiwara arm bar. Shelton writhes in pain as Riley is ruthless with the hold. Trapped in the middle of the ring, Benjamin uses all of his strength to get to his feet. Shelton then rolls out and hits a short-arm-clothesline. Shelton quickly throws Riley onto the ropes before hitting an arm drag. Benjamin then pops to his feet and begins emphatically pounding on his chest. When Riley gets up, Shelton hits a sharp swinging neckbreaker. He makes the cover. One, two, kick out!

Annoyed, Shelton begins arguing with the referee. He eventually turns back to the match, but the momentary distraction is long enough for Riley to cover. Alex takes advantage, nailing a huge elbow to the back of Benjamin's head. Riley then begins pounding on his grounded opponent, using all of his strength to keep the momentum in his favor. Alex heads up to the top rope. When Shelton stands, Riley comes crashing down on him with a diving cross body. He makes the cover. One, two, kick out!

Riley gets up and signals it is the beginning of the end for Benjamin. When Shelton pulls himself up, Alex goes for his finishing move, "You're Dismissed!" However, Benjamin is able to slip out and hit a bridging German suplex into a pin. One, two, kick out!

Shelton can't believe it still isn't over. Shelton gets to his feet and once again goes for Pay Dirt, but Riley pushes him away. Riley tries taking advantage with another lifting DDT, but is reversed into a bridging northern lights suplex. Shelton makes the cover. One, two, kick out!

Benjamin doesn't stop to argue this time, heading up to the top rope. Riley is still down as Shelton goes for a 450 Splash. However, Alex is able to roll out of the way just in time, causing Shelton's torso to smack hard into the canvas. Alex gets to his feet first and takes advantage of his opponents miscue. He lifts Shelton up and goes for "You're Dismissed!" However, Benjamin slips out and dives out of the ring for a breather. After a few moments, Shelton decides he is finished and heads up the entrance ramp as the ref begins his count: 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10!

HERE IS YOUR WINNER BY COUNT-OUT....ALEX RILEY!!!

Riley is obviously not happy, as his face is bright red. He quickly grabs a mic and addresses Shelton.

Alex: You think this is over? You think you can escape me? I got news for you: you can run, but you can't hide! I will get my shot at you Shelton, and when I do, you are in for the beating of your life.

Alex throws the microphone down hard to mat and stomps his way up the mat.

J.R.: Shelton may have dodged a bullet tonight, but he can't run forever.

Jerry: Are you kidding me? Shelton is a seasoned veteran. Alex should be thanking him for ending this one early.

Promo: Mark Henry and Abraham Washington in the GM's Office

The camera cuts backstage to the general manager's office, where Abe and Henry are arguing with Vince.

Mark: Last week, we were promised a match! You can't just back out of it like this and give the opportunity to another team!

Vince: I apologize, but I had scheduled that championship match weeks ago. There was no way I could have changed it on such short notice. However, don't worry. You two will get you're opportunity, but not tonight.

Mark: You better hope we get a shot in time, because if plans change again, I will hurt you. And I'm not talking about a little beatdown. I will make sure I break every single bone in your body! 

Vince: Mark, just calm down. I understand how you feel. I've been doing this a long time and  let me promise you this: you two will be facing The Hart Dynasty for the Tag Team title at the upcoming pay-per-view, Money in the Bank. However, you two will still be in action tonight. Up next, you two will be fighting Ted DiBiase and John Morrison.

Mark and Abe both smile before leaving the office together. Vince breathes a sigh of relief as he just missed receiving a beating from the World's Strongest Man.

Match 3: Mark Henry and Abe Washington vs. Ted DiBiase and John Morrison

The newest members of the Raw roster come out first, receiving solid pop from the crowd. Abe and Henry follow, getting pummeled with usual boos from the fans. As they walk, Abe begins speaking to the fans. Mark decides to start it out, up against DiBiase. The ref calls for the bell to ring and the match begins.

Ted goes after Mark immediately, but doesn't stay on his get for long. Henry connects with a shoulder block, before pulling DiBiase to his feet and connecting with a front powerslam. Ted hops right back up for more, but is once again sent to the mat, this time by a gorilla press slam. DiBiase is down as Henry hits a log drop. He makes the early cover. One, two, kick out!

In control early, Mark heads up to the top ropes. However, Ted meets him on the top turnbuckle with a few hard shots to the face. They go back and forth for quite a bit of time, but Ted is able to earn the advantage with a kick to the gut. DiBiase then toss Henry down to the canvas before positioning himself. Mark is still staring up at the lights as Ted hits a huge diving fist drop! He make the pin attempt. One, two, kick out!

JoMo fails to get to his feet and Washington makes the tag to Henry. Mark takes advantage of his injured opponent, crushing his torso with a running splash. Henry then goes for the finishing touches, connecting with the World Strongest Slam on JoMo. He makes the pin. One, two, three!

Promo: Mason Ryan and William Regal Come Down to the Ring

Will Regal comes out with Mason Ryan, receiving the usual heat from the fans. They both get in the ring and grab a mic.

Will: Shut up! Who do you people think you are? I am an all-time great, while the man next to me is the future of this business! Sit down, and shut your damn mouths! You people spend everything you have to see us, so the least you can do is give us the respect we deserve! For the la---

Justin Gabriel's music hits and he heads down to the ring. 

Justin: Mason, shouldn't you be in the back preparing for our match tonight. I'm more than ha---

Will: What are you talking about? Mason won't be defeating you until the next pay-per-view! 

Justin: Oh, you two haven't heard? With Vince fearing unemployment, he decided to give the fans what they want. So our match has been moved up to tonight! See you later tonight guys!

Will: What? This is an outrage! Mason is not ready to compete tonight. I demand this match be postponed immediately!

Justin: You have a problem with it, then take it up with the boss.

Mason: Forget it William. If he wants to get an early beat down, then so be it. Tonight, I will finish what you started last week. I will defeat Gabriel and further prove my proclamation that I am the greatest European champion of all time is in fact true.

Gabriel heads to the back smiling as Mason tries to calm down a steaming Will Regal.

Promo: Joe Hennig vs. Mystery Opponent

Joe Hennig comes out to a pretty decent pop. He gets in the ring quickly, excited for his match. However, Otunga interrupts, coming out with the contract Joe signed earlier.

David: Joe, earlier tonight, you made a big mistake. Please listen to this excerpt: “In signing this document, my career on Raw will officially be over and I will accept transferal to WWE’s NXT.

Hennig reads it over and his expression slowly changes.

David: This contract now states that you are officially off Raw! Congratulations on being the newest member of NXT!

Joe: What? You promised me a match! I thought that contract was about you becoming my adviser? You said nothing about NXT!

David: You see, I'm Vince's assistant and I had a job that needed to be done by any means necessary. I'm sorry Joe, but business is business. You signed the contract, so there is nobody to blame but yourself. Now please leave the ring before I have you dragged out. There is security and a limo ready to escort you out of the arena.

Joe almost decides to drop to his knees begging for another opportunity, but David is unsympathetic and it is no use. He slowly gets up and heads to the back, visibly shaken.

Once Joe leaves, Otunga goes back to talking.

David: And for the rest of the Raw locker room, you better pick it up. With NXT growing bigger and more successful each day, one bad night and you could find yourself right next to Joe Hennig and RVD.

David leaves the ring, getting pummeled with boos as he heads to the locker room. 

Promo: Drew McIntyre Is in the Ring

Drew comes out to a mixed reaction, quickly getting in the ring and grabbing a microphone. He is completely serious as he begins to speak.

Drew: Do you people think I'm stupid? I know what you people have been saying about me. I have heard all of the rumors. Ever since Layla left, I've been struggling. Therefore, you all assume that I can't make it in the WWE without someone at my side. For those of you who actually believe this, I have some news for you: you are sadly and completely mistaken. Nob----

Layla's music hits and she comes down to the ring with a mic.

Layla: You can deny it all you want Drew, but I'm the only reason you ever held the European Title. I helped you cheat your way to victory, as I was blinded by my love for you. However, things have changed. You’ve betrayed me and I no longer care about you. I'm happy to see you drowning in obscurity, while I have gone nowhere but up. So get out of my ring because up next, I will be competing for the Women's Championship.

Drew: You can't tell me what to do! I am a former European, and Intercontinental champion! How dare you speak to me in such a way!

Layla: Yes, you were a former champion. Now you are a worthless nobody. Now get out of the ring before security drags you out.

Drew refuses to leave, so security guards flood the ring and try to escort him. However, McItyre tries fighting back. The guards mob him and against Drew's will, drags him back to the locker room as Layla laughs.

J.R.: Drew should be embarrassed for his actions here tonight!

Jerry: Can you blame the man? He just realized without Layla, he is nothing more than a complete and utter failure. Talk about embarrassing!

Match 4: Layla vs. Beth Phoenix for the Women's Championship

Layla is waiting in the ring as Beth makes her entrance. Phoenix gets some pretty solid heat, taunting the crowd on her way down the ramp. Both divas get in the ring and prepare to fight. The referee calls for the bell and the match begins!

Layla goes right after Beth, hitting a knee dropkick, followed up with a running bulldog. Beth quickly gets back to her feet, but is sent down by a Hurricanrana from her opponent.

Jerry: What match were you watching? Beth was on fire the entire match! So much for Layla's hot streak.

Promo: Wade Barrett Interview Backstage

Backstage Todd Grisham is with Wade Barrett.

Todd: Later tonight, you will be going up against Rey Mysterio. What is your strategy going into a match against a seasoned veteran such as Mysterio.

Wade: Oh, you haven't heard? What kind of reporter are you? I am not facing Rey tonight. 

Todd: Why would you back out after fighting so hard to get this match last week?

Wade: I have my reasons. I spoke with Vince and he made the correct professional decision of calling off the matchup.

Todd: Please don't take offense to this, but...are you scared?

Wade: Scared of Rey? What is there to be scared of? He is five feet six inches, and well under 200 pounds. He is nothing more than a glorified stunt man. He would not even stand a chance in the ring with someone such as myself.

Todd: If he doesn't stand a chance, why cancel?

Wade: I already explained to you that I have my reasons. Now get out of my sight.

Todd: But I have to ask. Why al---

Wade: Did you hear what I said? Get away from me you ignorant fool!

Grisham darts away in terror as Barrett stares him down in disgust. 

Match 5: Justin Gabriel vs. Mason Ryan for the European Championship

Gabriel comes out first and gets a great pop from the crowd. Mason follows with Will Regal, as the two get booed by nearly everyone. The two competitors are completely serious as they prepare to fight with the belt on the line. The ref calls for the bell and the match begins!

A brawl quickly ensues as the two battle back and forth. Mason gains the advantage with a double of hard punches, but quickly loses it as Gabriel connects with a Pele Kick out of nowhere. However, Mason's huge stature stops him from even falling down.
