Tonight is a night that many
in WWE will be talking about long after the lights go down on this
episode of Raw. For the first time since the last time there was a Job
Performance Evaluation, Vickie Guerrero goes under the gun as Vince
McMahon, Triple H, and Stephanie McMahon let Vickie know of her fate as
the person who is in charge of Raw to the extent that she does not do
anything that a McMahon disagrees with. Speaking of three people who
put fear in the hearts of all in the WWE, the Wyatt Family is supposed
to debut tonight. When is their job performance evaluation?
We begin with an extended cut of the Wyatt Family video.
We are in Baltimore, Maryland and your announcers are Michael ‘
In the building where the guy writing this report attended his first wrestling show’ Cole, Jerry ‘
Where getting crabs is not always a bad thing’ Lawler and John ‘
We smell spices on Monday Night’ Layfield.
A ladder is in the ring and so are Brad Maddox and Vickie Guerrero.
Vickie welcomes everyone to Raw. She says that she has been diligently
working on the pay per view. The ladder is a symbol of spectacle.
Great names have been associated with this ladder. Names like Shawn
Michaels, Razor Ramon, and the one and only Triple H. This ladder means
something special to her. It represents how she has climbed year after
year in her career. If she falls, she is holding everyone responsible.
Vickie climbs the ladder and sits on top.
There is no book showing how a woman can dominate a company like General
Electric, IBM, or WWE. No one held her hand and told her how to run a
show or how to run a roster of WWE Superstars. She says that she has
done everything on her own. She has brought the greatest matches and
the best entertainment.
She might not have seen eye to eye with the WWE Universe. Every decision was made for the fans.
Jerry Lawler gets on a house mic and he lets out an Excuse Me. He says
that he received word that in preparation for the job evaluation, they
will consider any and all factors. That includes the opinions of the
WWE Universe.
Vickie thanks Jerry for that information. Vickie says that she
considers the WWE Universe just like her family. They have had good
days and bad days. At the end of each day, every family has each
other’s back.

Mark Henry. There are matches with the participants in the WWE Title

in the back and Erick Rowan and his goat mask is chopping something.
Luke Harper tells him to follow him.
John Cena makes his way to the ring.
John walks around the ring surveying their reactions and he says that
they have a riled up crowd tonight. He says that he would have thought
the pay per view was tonight. Earlier today, the World’s Strongest Man
told him to get to the ring so he could talk to him. John says that he
is here, so where is the World’s Strongest Man.
Mark Henry’s music and he does what he do and he walks to the ring.
Mark says that John has the same look on his face as he did last week and that is the look of fear.

Mark tells John that he should be. For 17 years, he has starved and the
only thing that could satisfy his hunger . . . and John yells at Mark
for bringing him down here about a Snicker’s Bar.
Mark says that the old Mark Henry would have either laughed or caused
John bodily harm. This Mark Henry is going to chill. He says that John
thinks he knows who the World’s Strongest Man. He is a new man. He
has known John for more than 10 years. He knew who John was before John
knew who he was. He says that John is like the people. He is a
puppet. That title will validate his career.
If he takes that title from John, without a shadow of doubt, he will be a
first ballot Hall of Famer. He would sell out his own mama for that.
He sold out his family.
John tells Mark that he better win on Sunday. John says that he has won
the title and he has lost it, but he did it with respect. He sees the
eyes of a desperate man who has lied to his family and the fans over
leather and gold. Mark better win the title because if he does not, he
has lost the respect of everyone and it is 17 years gone.
Mark asks John if he cares what him or the fans think? He doesn’t.

Randy says that he never believed that when he beat him two years ago at
Wrestlemania or tonight. He will not believe that when he wins on
Sunday. If John Cena retains and finds himself in a vulnerable state,
he will not hesitate to cash in the contract and take the title from
Cena.

Brad Maddox and Vickie Guerrero walk in the back as they go to the ring for their Managing Supervisor GutCheck.
We are back and we take a look at what happened between Mark Henry and John Cena earlier tonight.
Vickie Guerrero is in the ring with Brad Maddox and the Shark
Tank/American Idol/America’s Got Talent/GutCheck/MasterChef panel table
is in front of her. Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, and Triple H make
their way to the ring.
Stephanie says that they are here to evaluate Vickie’s job. Stephanie
thanks the WWE Universe for voting because that will be considered in
the final result.
Vickie says that she has always loved . . .
Stephanie tells Vickie to sit down.
Vickie says that she has always loved the McMahon family. She has a
special love for everyone. She says that she has strived to have the
best possible shows. She reminds them of how she has taken over from AJ
and we saw the return of Rob Van Dam and the Rock.
Vickie says that some say that she was responsible for the Undertaker to return to Wrestlemania.
Stephanie says that it is incredible that she is taking credit for the
Undertaker, but not for bringing back the man who took care of her
husband and father.
Stephanie says that you have to take tough decisions as well as take
responsibility for her actions. She asks Vickie if it was a good idea
to bring back Brock.
Vickie says that it was a good decision for business. She did not know
that Brock would attack Hunter or Vince. She apologizes for that.
Vince says that Vickie does not have to apologize. He says that
bringing Brock back was a stroke of genius. He says that he believes
that Vickie is highly entertaining, just like everyone else feels she
is. She has made some bonehead decisions, but who hasn’t. She thought
it was to give us quality, wholesome entertainment.
Hunter wants to interject and he says that he will be the first to admit
that Vickie can occasionally be unintentionally entertaining. She is
terrible at her job. Hunter says that Vickie was supposed to promote
the new WWE Video Game and she screwed it up. The crowd was booing her
out of the building so no one could hear what she was saying. This is
bad for business. Vince might think it is entertaining. He says that
we need to move away from what Vince thinks it entertaining because the
Golden Girls are not on television any more. The WWE Universe wants
better than Vickie Guerrero.
Vickie does possess the most annoying voice in the history of broadcast television.
Vince jumps in and says that Vickie has a unique voice. He says that
Vickie has qualifications that nobody else does. He congratulates
Vickie on her passion and how she has broken through the glass ceiling,
unlike some other short sighted individuals in the ring. He thinks that
Vickie should be named permanent General Manager.
Hunter says that he wants to give the short sided opinion and he says
that at the end of the day, he is the COO and Vince is the Chairman so
he will do whatever he wants regardless of what people want. Hunter
says that Vince wants a spineless puppet who strokes his ego and kisses
his ass, doing whatever Vince wants her to do.
Hunter proposes that since Stephanie called this meeting, we should let her decide Vickie’s fate.
Vince says that he has no problem with Daddy’s Little Girl to make the right decision, the right entertaining decision.
Hunter says that he doesn’t have a problem with his wife, the mother of
his children, and the woman who will have to go home with him and put up
with him to make the right decision for business.
Vince says that it would be a business for entertainment.
Stephanie says that since it has escalated more than anyone has
imagined, she will not let anyone or anything put a wedge between her
family. She is leaving it up to the WWE App’s result.
The WWE Universe voted 75% to 25% that she failed.
Stephanie says that the Universe has spoken and she has failed.
Vickie says that you cannot let the people make the decisions for the
business. She will not let some popularity contest affect her job. She
says that this is not right.
Stephanie has two words for Vickie. She tells Vickie ‘You’re Fired’
Vickie gets on the table and she wants to know who they are. She says that she has given them so many years.
Vince says that the people have broken Vickie Guerrero’s heart and he
wants to know if they are proud of what they did. Vince says that
Vickie didn’t fail. Everyone in the arena just failed. They have
thrown away the most entertaining General Manager Raw could have had.
Vince says that he will make the right decision. There will be a new
General Manager of Raw and he says that the people deserve this. Brad
Maddox is the new General Manager.
While Vickie is escorted from the ring, Brad is in shock at what he just heard.
We are back and Vickie is still crying over losing her job. Vince tells her that he will make it right for her.
Brad tells Vickie that he is so sorry and he tells Vince that it is a
decision that he will not regret. Brad says that we will miss Vickie,
but he is proud to be the General Manager of Raw.
Vince says that he gave the fans what they deserved.
Brad says that what Mr. McMahon wants, Mr. McMahon gets.
Apparently what Vickie wants is to beat the crap out of Brad Maddox and
she attacks him, reflecting the behavior of the woman she replaced as
GM. Vince takes his jacket.

After the match, Bray Wyatt appears on the TitanTron. He does not have
followers, he has brothers and sisters in his cause. People are sheep.
They need leaders. They worship and crave war. He created war. It is
time for the masses to wake up and look at the world we are living in.
He sees it in his dreams and in his thoughts. It is not the beginning.
It is the end.
Bray lights a lantern and he says ‘We’re here’.

We go to commercial.
We are back with a somber Michael Cole as we see the debut of the Wyatt Family.
Vickie Guerrero has her box o’ stuff as she leaves the building. She
walks at .4 Ortons. She looks up and Ryback is standing there. He
takes the box and then he hugs Vickie. He tells Vickie that she
deserves better and it will be okay. She gives Vickie back her box and
leaves.

I’m Guessing No Contest
After the match, Big E carries AJ to the back.
CM Punk is getting ready for his match and Josh Mathews asks him about
the ladder match on Sunday and his match tonight against Randy Orton.
Punk says Randy doesn’t lack confidence and he is entitled to his
opinion. Randy cannot make things up. Is he the best in the world
because he held the title for 434 days or did he hold the title for 434
days because he is the best in the world? Beating Randy Orton tonight
makes him the best in the world. Winning for the third time at Money in
the Bank makes him the best in the world.
