01/08/24 Raw Results

Camera zooms to the center of the ring, where a red carpet is rolled out. The WWE Universe is electric with anticipation.]

Ring Announcer Mike Rome: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the CEO of WWE, Jeff Murrey!

[The music hits, and Jeff Murrey strides confidently down the ramp, wearing a sharp suit and a grin that suggests big news is on the horizon.]

Jeff Murrey: Good evening, WWE Universe! Tonight is a monumental night—a night that will go down in the annals of history as one of the most impactful in WWE’s storied existence!

[Cheers erupt from the crowd.]

Jeff Murrey: Despite the rumors, despite the naysayers, despite what’s happening with PWI and HCW, let me make one thing abundantly clear—WRESTLING WILL NEVER DIE!

[The crowd erupts with deafening cheers and applause.]

Jeff Murrey: Tonight, I stand before you not just as the CEO of WWE but as a fan—a fan who understands what you want, what you deserve. And tonight, I am here to deliver!

[The tension builds as the crowd hangs on every word.]

Jeff Murrey: I am thrilled to announce that I have signed THREE LEGENDS to exclusive contracts with WWE!

[The crowd roars in anticipation, speculating on who these legends might be.]

Jeff Murrey: But that’s not all! Every member of our roster is now ACTIVE! All injuries addressed, all contract negotiations concluded. Tonight, we begin a new era—an era of unparalleled competition and excitement!

[Suddenly, Jeff Murrey’s phone rings, cutting through the electrifying atmosphere. He glances at the screen, puzzled by the unknown number.]

Jeff Murrey: Excuse me for a moment. No need to answer this. I Can’t See the number. Most likely an HCW main eventer still asking me about a contract.

The camera pans backstage and we see Christopher Lloyd (Doc Brown) standing in front of the first mystery legend that will be taking on the Intercontinental Champion, Ken Shamrock. Clearly Murrey has hired this legend to succeed where Hook and Curtis Axel failed.

Christopher Lloyd: With this new magic elixir that I have created in my lab, there is no way anything will stop you, Ryback!

*The crowd gasps as they see the new…legend? Ryback slowly pulls his tights down as the Doc injects his back side with a needle. This elixir has brought a hush over the audience.

[Suddenly, the lights dim, and the WWE CEO Jeff Murrey’s music hits. He strides down the ramp, microphone in hand, a grin on his face.]
