Raw opens with The Undertaker!
Undertaker comes out and stands at the ramp as fire goes off around him.
An “Old School Raw” intro plays.
Undertaker is gone.
CM Punk comes out along with Paul Heyman. He makes his way to the ring.
Punk: I should be main eventing this year’s WrestleMania. I should be defending my championship in the main event of this year’s WrestleMania, but i’m not! And not because of anything I did or didn’t do. I’m not at WrestleMania and i’m not the champion…because of you. You stole from me what I hold in this world most precious. You screwed me. YOU DID! You did…and in screwing me, you only screwed yourselves because if I cannot be in the main event then I see no reason to be at WrestleMania. There’s no purpose. There’s no point in CM Punk being at WrestleMania. But what I just saw, what the world just laid their eyes on, gives me that purpose. You took from me and now i’m gonna take from you. I am going to beat The Undertaker at WrestleMania! You like your streak? You like those numbers so bad, yet you roll your eyes when I mention the historic 434 day title reign? The longest in decades? You wanna get snarky with me, well I back it up. And i’ve done more than any of you have in your entire lives. You steal from me I steal from you. You want your streak so bad? Well I got a new number for you: 20 and 1. That 1 is drug free. That 1 is alcohol free. That 1 is straight edge. That 1 is the Best in the World, and he stands before you today. He says what he means and he means what he days. He ends the streak. Deal with it!
Randy Orton comes out.
Orton: I would be so confident, Punk. Especially since I beat you at WrestleMania. You haven’t faced Undertaker at the show of all shows. I have. It was eight years ago and I was a rookie. I came so close. But i’m not a rookie anymore. I’m the most dangerous man in the locker room. What I want to do now is ask the WWE Universe who they want to see face The Undertaker at WrestleMania.
Orton enters the ring.
Orton: CM Punk? Or Randy Orton?
Big Show comes out next and heads into the ring.
Show: You know what? You two are out there running lip about facing Undertaker at WrestleMania? What makes you two think you can face him? I too faced Undertaker at WrestleMania, but back then I didn’t have…this.
He holds up a fist.
Show: If you’re going to break his streak, you need to be more than a viper. You need to be more than straight edge. You need to be…a giant. And that giant is gonna knock that 20-0 Undertaker streak into oblivion.
Sheamus comes out and joins the others.
Sheamus: So i’ve been listening to each and every one of you about how you’re going to beat The Undertaker? But out of the four of us i’m the only one who hasn’t faced The Undertaker meaning i’m the only one who hasn’t lost to him. It’s gonna take more than a GTS or a fist or an RKO to take him down. But maybe, just maybe, it’ll take this big boot, a lot of heart, and a little bit of luck. When you have the Irish luck, anything is possible.
Vickie: EXCUSE ME!
Vickie Guerrero comes out.
Vickie: The person who defeats The Undertaker at WrestleMania and beat the streak will cement his legacy as the greatest of all time. So, to determine who gets the opportunity to break the streak, tonight there will be a fatal four way match. And the winner will face The Undertaker at WrestleMania!
Punk leaves the ring while Orton, Show and Sheamus stare at one another.

Rock: I really need you to understand something. I just came in from Central America, Panama where it is 95 degrees every single day. But The Rock knew he was coming to Raw, so The Rock started packing his bags, his shirts, his work clothes, his Boots 2 Asses boots, but he didn’t wear a jacket. The Rock don’t need a jacket he’s got electricity coming down his body. And then The Rock’s plane landed and The Rock stepped out. SWEET SHAKEN HONEY BOO BOO it’s cold out there! It’s so cold that he had icicles forming on The People’s nipples, but that’s okay. Because I knew as the cold air hit my face that after ten long years, I proudly stand in this ring and i’m happy to say FINALLY, THE ROCK HAS COME BACK TO BUFFALO! Happy that The Rock came to Buffalo because it meant one thing. It meant that we are a little over a month away from WrestleMania.
John Cena comes out and makes his way to the ring to meet Rock.
Cena: 34 days away from WrestleMania, you are right. Sorry I interrupted but I had to come out right this very second. Because i’ve been waiting for this moment for a year, and you don’t even know why. You can’t know why because you’re Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, a man who conquered the WWE during the Attitude Era. Who left and conquered Hollywood. Then who returned and became WWE Champion. You don’t fail at anything in life, so you don’t know what it’s like to say you’re going to do something and fail. Last year I told everybody who would listen that I needed to win that match…and I failed. You don’t know what that does to a man, Rock. It makes you feel worthless.
“Cena Sucks” chants.
Cena: It makes you feel like a crowd of hate is raining down on you. You want to crawl in a hole and go away. That moment set my life into a tailspin. Go back and check the timeline. Right after WrestleMania I sucked professionally and personally because I couldn’t get over the fact that I failed, that I told these people i’d get it done and I didn’t. You were responsible for my collapse. But through failure I became stronger. You think it;’s just coincidence that the night you won the title I won the Rumble? You think the night you solidified your spot at WM I finally beat CM Punk? I get a chance to rewrite history. This is a shot at redemption. I get a second chance. I have been gifted. A second chance to right the biggest wrong of my life. So i’m giving you a 34 day heads up. I am not throwing this chance away.
Rock: That fire…that desire. You have no idea how happy I am to see that. Because that’s a man who said he was going to beat CM Punk last week and he did. There was only one man who The Rock wanted to face, and that’s you. Why? Because The Rock knows. I know what this means to you. I know when your music hits and you come out, slide under the ropes, kiss your dog tags that has members of your family on them, I know. I know what it means to you. No one has your passion, your fire, your will to win. No one has that…except The Rock. As much as it matters to you John, it matters so much more to me. When MY music hits and I walk down that ramp and step in this ring and connect with every single person in this arena from top to bottom and connect to everyone around the world, our strength, it matters to me. In 34 days you’re not getting redemption, you’re getting your ass kicked!
Cena; Strong words. Strong words. I think in times like this I like to step back and call one of the great philosophers of our time Mike Tyson. He was once quoted saying “I’m gonna eat his children.” But Mike Tyson is responsible for one of the most powerful quotes I ever heard. In his prime Mike Tyson once said “In order to be the greatest that ever lived you have to beat everyone living.” I have accomplished every single goal. I have jumped over every single roadblock…except you. At WrestleMania 29, your time is up. My time…is now.
Rock: Your time is now? My time is up? No no no no no. Rock’s time is just getting starred. You wanna quote famous athletes? I got a quote for you. “Winning is about heart. You just gotta have it in the right place.” The man who said that quote, Lance Armstrong, he was full of crap and so are you.
Cena: Well played, Rock. That confidence in your eyes I had that a year ago. Listen. in 34 days history doesn’t repeat itself. At WrestleMania 29 I will become the WWE Champion.
Rock: You just crystallized everything that is The Rock and John Cena right here in front of the world. Cena that’s the biggest difference between you and me. You think you can beat me. I KNOW I can beat you. At WrestleMania 29 in front of the world I will beat you…again. If you smell…what The Rock…is cooking.
Rock and Cena stare each other down.

Triple H: Last time I stood in this ring with a microphone in my hands it was 8 days after Summerslam. 8 days after he broke my arm for the second time in two months. I stood in this ring and I told you I thought I might be done. I got emotional and choked up. And I wasn’t sure if I was trying to convince you or convince me. Because the second that task was off I was in the gym training like always, busting my ass, but with no real goal in mind. I was doing my day job as COO, even cut my hair, but training every day. And a few months later I found myself in the best shape i’ve been in years. And I was waiting…waiting for a reason. Then I found myself sitting next to a hospital bed looking at an old man who just got done having hip surgery. That old man put aside the fact that he created all of this. He put aside the fact that his daughter, my wife, was crying at his side. That my kids, his grand kids, were crying at ringside. I was smiling on the single because I found my opportunity.
So when that crazy ass old man step out of bed and came to the ring to face Heyman, and when Heyman depended on Brock Lesnar I did what I do best. And if you think for one second we were done after Summerslam, you grab your head and feel those 12 staples and know that we’re just getting started. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know why i’m standing in this ring. Five weeks from the big dance….here we go, Brock. I’m calling you out. I know you’re the guy that usually stands in this ring and does the destruction, but last week I split you wide open. So here we go. WrestleMania. Let’s finish what we started. You and I. Because i’m back. The ass kicker is back. The King of Kings is back. The Game is back, and he’s challenging you for WrestleMania. So what’s it gonna be Brock? You gotta stand up and fight? Or are you just gonna sit there…and bleed?
Triple H leaves the ring.
Still to come, the fatal four way. Winner faces Undertaker at WrestleMania.
