WWE RAW Albany, New York
The commentators are Michael Cole and Wade Barrett.
– Tonight is WWE RAW, the red show begins with the greetings from the commentators.
Drew McIntyre’s music starts and he comes to the ring. Drew McIntyre welcomes us to RAW, the show where everyone seems to lose their minds. Everyone does everything. You can get fired, leave and come back and be forgiven immediately. The crowd chants “CM Punk.” McIntyre says Seth Rollins could have given anyone a title shot and he gave it to Jey Uso, someone he personally beat. So he gave Rollins a good headbutt. Speaking of Jey, he went to Randy with his tail between his legs to apologize… Not forgetting Sami Zayn… Sami’s music starts and he comes to the ring. Sami says Drew clearly means a lot to everyone. If Drew wants to tell him something, he can tell him in person.
Drew says Sami explained that they were similar, but not at all. Sami is the only person in the world who deserves to be betrayed by the bloodline. Sami was the group’s little lap dog. And Sami finally decided to betray the bloodline…he deserves everything that happened to him. Sami says he was wrong. He thought he was like Drew, but the more he hears Drew talk, the more he understands that they are different. He is not one to point fingers at others for his own failures. When he lost in front of his family, he remained motivated to win the main event of WrestleMania. This was how he got his revenge and had the chance to make his family proud. Did Drew do the same? Drew says one of them can’t leave tonight. He asks for a referee.
A referee arrives and the game begins.

– Back, Cody Rhodes enters the ring and takes the microphone. Cody says the first time he saw the Green Mist he was a little boy. He was terribly afraid of the Great Muta. Now he had experienced it himself and his fear was entirely justified. Cody says he should have paid more attention to the clues Shinsuke Nakamura left behind every week. He knew he would have a big target on his back when he entered the Royal Rumble match. But he is ready. Nakamura has his attention, Nakamura has the fans’ attention, so Nakamura can step out of the shadows and speak or fight. Nobody is coming. Cody says he knew that. The lights go out except for one in the middle of the ring.
We find Shinsuke Nakamura on the TitanTron. Nakamura says he made Cody’s eyes burn, but tonight he’ll open them. He’ll show Cody what he can’t see. Both have the same path. He also climbed the mountain to compete in WrestleMania. He too could see the summit, but he too lost. They suffered the same humiliation. They must complete a page of their book. Cody woke up and inspired him to come back strong. He never had the chance to finish his story, and he will finish Cody’s.
Cody says they don’t have the same story. He has no respect for Nakamura, it’s not his history to avoid the fight. If they are equal, Nakamura has to prove it.

– Back, the wrestlers are coming.
