San Antonio, TX
RAW this week starts with DX in front of a white
sheet with ‘DX’ spray painted in green. It’s a PSA.
They show clips of all the fun things they’ve done and
done to Vince in recent weeks. It culminates with the
SNME match between DX and SQ.
DX’s music hits and they come down to the ring in
wrestling gear to HUGE pop. They do their original
pose in the center of the ring and get a mic.
The stand in the ring and soak up the chants. HHH
says to hold up, they are supposed to wear the new
shirts tonight?
HBK says the new shirts are on sale in the vending
and online.
HHH says his is the original DX shirt and it’s
available in vending and online.
HBK says, “W-w-w-w-w.” He then stops, looks at the
tape on his wrist like he’s reading from it and says,
“WWE shopzone dot com.”
HHH says Vince is grumpy out back.
HBK says the rumor mill says Vince is mad and it’s
because of them.
HHH says he doesn’t understand what they’ve done
wrong to Vince. HHH asks the crowd if they think they
should stop doing stuff to Vince - they scream no.
HBK says Vince wanted them in the ring - right now.
HHH accidentally calls Shawn Shane. He says, “Hey,
it’s live TV, gimme a break.” He says no one wants to
see them fight Shane and Vince. Then HHH thinks it’s
a good idea and makes the challenge. He asks HBK if
it’s a good idea.
HBK asks who’s going to stop them?
Vince’s music hits and he comes out to the stage with
Shane. There is someone in the crowd holding up a
taxidermied rooster with an illegible sign around its
neck.
Vince calls DX degenerative juvenile delinquents.
Vince says DX doesn’t run things - they do. They’re
sick of being made fools of. ‘You suck’ chant from
the crowd.
Vince says it’s not about what DX wants, it’s what
Vince wants. He says he has two words for them -
Shane O’Mac. Tonight Shane will go one on one with
HBK.
Shane takes the mic and tells the crowd to shut up
when the crowd chants for HBK. Shane says HBK does
horrible impressions. He then says he doesn’t dance
around like a retarded teenager. He has more talent
then they will ever have. Shane says tonight HHH
should be in HBK’s corner and Vince will be in his
corner. He says the locals won’t be remembering the
Alamo, they will remember the night Shane beats HBK
1-2-3.
JR talks about how Cena will be facing Umaga tonight.
He mentions that Umaga has never been defeated.
Also, after that happened at SNME Cena might not be up
for this match. Through the whole thing they show
clips of Umaga beating the crap out of people.

but doesn’t give him a chance to answer. He says
after SNME it means Edge is greater than Cena.

a copy of her CD when it comes out. The song she
sings about them is great, but this is his all time
