(Mock) Monday Night Raw - Week 3

Another three hour Raw special begins with Jack Swagger coming into the ring. He talks about how upset he was at losing the first round of the tournament to Randy Orton but like a true American, he says that he will never give up trying to go for the gold. Then he goes to talk about John Cena, bashing him about how much more of an American he is than the ‘Thug Life’ Cena. After a few minutes, Cena comes out to a mixed crowd of cheers and boos. Cena then gets into the face of Swagger and tells him exactly what being an American stands for and then mocks him about him crying that he had lost the first round. He even showed footage of last week of Swagger crying after the lost on the Titantron. Then Jericho pops up on the screen, reminding Cena that they have a match tonight and the winner will face Orton at Summerslam for the vacant title. As Cena’s back was turned, Swagger ran out of the ring, grabbed a chair and was about to swing at Cena. Cena ducked and gave Swagger an Attitude Adjustment, laying Swagger out. The fans went crazy.

After the break, they showed a replay of what just happened and Vicki Guererro didn’t look too happy about what just happened. Ted DiBiase walks in and has a talk with Vicki. He tells her how all he wasn’t happy with the way the company’s direction was in and helps plan to usher Raw into a new era…in due time. Vicki liked the sound of that as Dibiase walked away.
