Before the show begins, the following video plays.
The screen fades to read "WE WILL NEVER FORGET".
On this, we fade into...
You are now tuned in to the world's greatest…
Tonight is the night
Bright lights, hype crowd
Yeah, we came to throw down
Everybody get loud
Tonight is the night
A-list, can't miss
When we burn it to the ground
Everybody get down
The Night (2014 Remix)
We pan through the crowd once again, catching signs for Sinners & Saints, The Young Bucks, and others before arriving at the announce table.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Friday Night Raw! I'm Michael Cole, joining me as always is William Regal, and the title scenes are heating up!
Right you are, Michael. Not only are we having a triple threat for the WWE Heavyweight Championship at No Mercy, the Tag Team and Diva's Championships are moving one step closer to being determined!
And the Tag Team Tournament begins tonight with two huge matches. First to kick off our show, Sinners and Saints face Roderick Strong and the Intercontinental Champion, Austin Aries!
The Diva's Championship Round Robin continues as well. On tap tonight are Lynch vs. Schreiber, Nikki vs. Bates, and Brie vs. Fox.
Marcus Louis will make his in-ring debut tonight when he goes one on one with Zack Ryder.
Roman Reigns' redemption quest continues as he'll face Chris Jericho.
And our main event, the second tournament match of the night, The Young Bucks make their debut against Dean Ambrose and Drew McIntyre! Let's get started!
We cut backstage to Triple H, sitting in his office.
We have a lot of territory to cover tonight. Not only are we beginning round two of the Diva's Championship Round Robin, we're also kicking off our Tag Team Championship Tournament! The first four teams will be in action tonight, and the four Lethal Lottery teams will be announced tonight exclusively on the WWE Network as part of the Raw post-show! But besides that, there's a bit of a loose end from last week I need to address.
During last week's main event, Samoa Joe faced Damien Sandow in a #1 Contender Match to determine who will face WWE Heavyweight Champion Jeff Hardy at No Mercy in October. As you know, that match went to a draw, and neither man was named the official top contender. So we're here to resolve that right now. At No Mercy, Jeff Hardy will defend his WWE Heavyweight Championship against both Damien Sandow and Samoa Joe!
Now let's get on with the show.
Roderick is sitting backstage looking frustrated
I can't catch a break, and I'm 0-2.
Now here I stand with everything to lose and everything to gain as well. I have an opportunity to become the tag team Champion with one of my best friends, Austin Aries. You're the current Intercontinental champion, and you've had much better luck since coming here than I have. Who knows, the first real hot streak of my career came when he and I were in Generation Next back in ROH, so this could be just what I need to turn things around.
Now Angelico, all I know about you is your run in Lucha Underground, with those trios titles and teaming with two people you hated, I wonder if you can function with some one you can stand.
Rocky, NRC for life my friend. But only one of us can go on Rocky, only one of us can win those tag belts and it's going to be me and Aries!
We cut to the back where we see Kyle Edwards standing by backstage.
Ladies and gentlemen, my guests at this time, Rocky Romero and Angelico. The Sinners and Saints.
The camera pans over revealing the two aforementioned men, Rocky simply shaking his head.
Man, you call that an introduction? You think that's worthy of "Roppongi Vice" Rocky Romero?! Mang, you better shut your mouth and listen up... cause I'm about to put you out of a job.
Romero clears his throat.
Ladies and gentlemen... boy and girls... tonight is the night! The Kings have arrived. The baddest of the bad. The best of the best! Everybody wants to be us, but nobody else can come close. We're the scourge of the tag division. The team to beat and the team that can't be beat! Everybody... buckle your ass in, cause you're looking at the Sinners and the Saints! To my right, the man who can fly better then anybody else in the land: Angelico! And standing right in front of you... the baddest sonnuvabitch who can crack skulls with the best of them, ROCKY ROMERO!
Rocky sneers and shoves Edwards.
See... that's how you do it. Ain't that hard, man. I hope you took notes.
Angelico pats Edwards, resting his arm on his head afterward
I just think you forgot one very important detail my pal Romero . You forgot to introduce us as the NEXT Tag Team Champions in the WWE after we crush every other team on this little...formality that Triple H decided to do. But hey we asked for the competition and maybe just maybe one of those teams can step up to face the glorious team "Sinners and Saints".Because when there is something on the line we do not back off. As everything in life we take what we need..and what we want... now my buddy Edwards ,do you have anything to ask us?Better be something worth of our time..my friend here doesn't like stupid question.
Well tonight you're scheduled to go one on one with Roderick Strong and Austin Aries. Tell me, what are your thoughts going into that match against two men who are widely regarded as some of the best wrestlers out there today?
Rocky smacks Kyle on the forehead.
I said no stupid questions! Don't you listen? Why would you even ask something like that? I mean seriously, do we really need to elaborate when you already know the answer? Yeah, Strong is the master of the backbreaker. Yeah, Aries is a champion and pretty damn good in the ring, but so what? Strong may break backs, but guys like us break necks. One will put in the hospital... the other will put you in the ground. And as for Aries, well... there's always somebody better out there, and you're looking at them right here, mang.
Angelico smacks Kyle on the back of the head right after Rocky smacks him on the forehead
You should REALLY do a favor to yourself and think before you ask something,because if you ask anything that pisses your fault...that is your fault ,my friend. And sure whatever as Romero said they are really good wrestlers ,but we have two things they do not.We have that extra edge and drive ,we are not afraid of getting our hands dirty as possible .And two...do these guys even know each other? Like each other? They have egos that won`t allow then to co-exist but us? We are team! If Romero is there beating someone to the ground,i will be there to help him.I will have his back and he will have mine.Everyone else?Well they bite it for all i care.
Yeah, exactly. Trips may have fallen started to take notice of us, but now he's sticking us up against a pair of guys who... well, they might have teamed together once upon a time, but it ain't like they're exactly best friends. Sure, they've worked together on occasion, but they're not working together anymore. Especially not a full-time basis. That oughta tell you everything you need to know about the chances of that partnership. See, Angelico and I, we may not be alike. He likes to keep himself looking pretty while I'm a little rougher around the edges. I ain't handsome, but I'm not bad-looking either. He likes fine dining, but I'm more of the fast food type of person. He can stun opponents by flying high and dazzling them with his agility while I'm more known for beating you down and making sure you stay there.
But it's like they say... opposites attract. And Angelico and I, we've been hitting off more than any other team in that locker room right now. And I dare anybody, either Strong and Aries or even those damn Young Bucks to say otherwise. Yeah, I heard they been badmouthing us too. Not surprised... cause I've battled with those two time and time again. Figures that as soon as I get my break here in the WWE they're gonna come sliding in right after me. I just can't escape, huh? Well they should probably remember that I've beaten them before in the past too. And if we have the fortune of facing off... well, I'm gonna beat them all over again.
And while i do not have the experience with then that Romero has...well they are nothing but a few of unfortunate giant man-babies. And we are ADULTS we to say profanity for the sake of it. We have maturity something they clearly lack .Things that they also lack is our talent in the ring and my great good looks.
Angelico winks at the camera
And if the kids want to talk bad about the Sinners And Saints ,we can show then what happens when they mess with someone greater than they are.When it is with us and your mouth writes checks you can't afford... well , we are not gentle about that , we get our payment in the most painful way possibles. So the young buckz WHEN we crosses paths ,be ready.Because the Sinners and Saints are going to get rid of you.
Angelico gives a last smack at Edwards head and leaves followed by Romero as he glares Edwards in his way out.
The screen fades to read "WE WILL NEVER FORGET".
