RAW this week starts with a recap of last week’s KOTR coronation. Kennedy came out and interrupted the whole thing. Regal demanded an apology he didn’t get and Regal attacked. They had to be separated by quite a few refs. After that Regal went a bit power crazy. During the main event between Orton and HHH Regal blacked out the Show, screaming at the crew in the truck.
Vince is on the stage – no music or hype (on TV). He says that last week Regal did something no one has ever done before. He pulled the plug on the Show during a championship match. Since then people showed up at headquarters, called, emailed demanding Vince be there and do something. Vince says he wasn’t happy about it either but he also finds Regal actions to be daring and even visionary. Regal’s actions remind him a lot of himself. So he’s there to 100% support and endorse Regal he wants respect for Regal from everyone.
Lillian then announces Regal as the King of All WWE and RAW GM. Regal comes down to the ring with his nose high in the air. Regal grabs a mic and says that we might not like him, but we will respect him. He asks if he has their respect. It’s obvious he doesn’t. He says it’s a pitty as he an turn out the lights at his discretion at any time. “Regal sucks” chants.
Regal says, “So be it. Turn out the lights.” The lights go out and the fans get louder. The “Regal sucks” chants get huge.
JR and King ask what’s going to happen as they’re still on air.
Regal calls for the lights to come back on. He says the Show will continue, but we might not be able to see it. He’s willing to run the Show in total darkness. He will not put up with disrespect. From now on…
Kennedy’s music cuts Regal off again. Kennedy comes out to the ring and says if Regal wants respect so much, all he has to do is take Kennedy up on his offer and go one on one in that ring, tonight.
Regal says it’s a dreadful shame when people don’t know their place in life. Regal says he’s his superior.
Kennedy tells him to prove it.
Regal says he intends to. Tonight Kennedy is in the main event facing Kane, Miz and Morrison, CM PUNK, Chavito and his body guard. Actually Kennedy will be facing the entire ECW roster. He did it with Estrada to help promote ECW’s 100th Show. Regal says he won’t be disrespected by any man.
HHH’s music hits and he comes out with sunglasses on and his strap over his shoulder. The fans go wild. HHH asks Regal to pardon the intrusion. Unlike Kennedy he means no disrespect. He’s there to congratulate him on his newfound position of power. Because if he’d like to maintain his newfound status he needs to not make mistakes. Like last week. Regal turned the lights out on HHH’s match. That was a mistake. Then he came out and ended the match. That was a mistake. He disrespected HHH. That was a mistake. If Regal would like to maintain his position and keep his power, he doesn’t want to go to war with HHH!
Regal says HHH is far too busy. At Judgement Day HHH will be in a steel Cage Title Match. See, he’s changed tonight’s main event. HHH will be tagging with Kennedy tonight against the ECW roster.
