Raw begins with Vince McMahon entering the ring. He first thanked the fans for watching history being made at Night of Champions and he also thanked the wrestlers for giving it all they got. But here was also there to make a couple announcements. First, as of today’s show, both Raw and Smackdown will now be a three hour show. Second, he has had a meeting with both general managers and has made the decision to give six of Season Two of NXT rookies’ contracts. Third, he has decided that despite the fact that Vicki is doing a great job, he has heard that she’s been favoring certain wrestlers. So with that in mind, he’s decided that Raw needs a co-general manager and she, along with everyone else, will find out who it is by the end of the night. Forth and final note as he leaves the ring, that he is going to bring be bringing back what has made them successful. A little more ‘Attitude’. The crowd goes wild as Michael Cole and The King can’t believe what they’ve just heard. All King could say was ‘Puppies are Back!’

But decided to be on the same page because they loved each other as brothers. He told the crowd how they were in a group called The Legacy with Randy Orton. But was run down due to Orton’s inability to be a leader. So DiBiase had announced that it’s time for a new Legacy and it’s in the form of himself as leader, Cody Rhodes, Carlito and Primo Colon. He breaks down how all their fathers paved the way and that how they are going to be far more successful than they have ever been. He says that by the end of the next pay per view that all of Legacy will be carrying gold. As for what they’ve done to Morrison, they said that he was simply at the wrong place, at wrong time and that if anyone was to get in their way will meet the same fate as well.
