Did you hear the massive explosion Saturday night? Shots were fired in Las Vegas and the blast was heard around the world. At least that is the report being told. The question is, “Did this boom reach Stamford, Connecticut?” Rumors are circulation that the ear drum shattering crack of thunder shook Vince McMahon to his core. If you ask me, Hormiga de Fuego, Vince did not flinch.

AEW TAKES FIRST SHOTS

If you saw AEW’s Double or Nothing, you know that there were several shots fired at the WWE. Some shots were subtle like Dustin Rhodes making the Star Child sign to Cody before blasting his tenth punch on the turnbuckle. Other shots were obvious like Cody destroying a throne which resembled Triple H’s throne which we’ve seen from time to time. Oh, and the throne was destroyed with a sledgehammer, which is Triple H’s weapon of choice.

AEW even enlisted Diamond Dallas Page and Bret “the Hitman” Hart! The show also debuted Awesome Kong and “the wrestler formally known as Dean Ambrose” Jon Moxley. The show delivered action and sheer power which has been lost from WWE pay-per-views. AEW employs WRESTLERS and not Super Stars. AEW’s voice during the matches is action within itself with Jim Ross making the play by play.

AEW went for “Double or Nothing” and the gamble paid off. The show delivered an obvious win.

HOW I WANT WWE TO REACT

I am writing this section two hours before RAW airs. Let’s see what I get correct. I cam already tell you the show will have issues with the crowd chanting, “AEW!”. They will have to deal with signs related to AEW like “AEW is WAR”, “WWE has no HART”, and “All RHODES lead to VICTORY”.

The first thing I would love to see happen on RAW would be to open the show with a huge legend… or two. I would open with The Undertaker. Begin the show in total darkness and wait about 30 seconds in silence. I would have no commentators either…. just darkness. Then, after 30 seconds, they would sound the gong and the undertaker would make his way up. Commentator speaks and it is someone new. They need to debut someone with grit. Heck, I would LOVE to hear Bruce Prichard on the microphone.

I would have the Undertaker come out and cut a promo for about 4 minutes only to be interrupted by Goldberg! Goldberg would charge the ring, Screw that old Goldberg entrance where he takes 10 minutes to walk around backstage. We are building excitement here! Goldberg hits the ring and a stare down begins. Key Corbin’s music and he hits the stage and begins his talk about how these old timers are NOT going to upstage everyone on RAW. SPEAR! Out of nowhere, Goldberg spears Corbin. Corbin finally gets up to receive a tombstone from the Undertaker. Then… SPEAR! Goldberg spears The Undertaker and we end the opening.

We cut backstage and Vince and Triple H are grinning. Vince tells Triple H to book it. He pan out to see Orton in there. Who is he facing? Go to commercial.

We come back and Vince is strutting down to the ring. He is announced as the color play by play for the next match. Orton’s music hits! Who is he facing? Vince is on the microphone hyping a HUGE return! WHO COULD IT BE? Hit the entrance music…. It is Star Child’s music! We see someone with Star Child’s makeup bravely walking to the ring. Within minutes, Star Child is busted open. Randy Orton dominates the match, breaking his own pin falls to “rub salt in the wound”. Finally, Orton his a sick move and the three count is made. The referee throws up the X. Vince makes a comment that the move looked very bad and that Star Child obviously took that move incorrectly. “Poor Star Child” utters Vince. ” He fell victim to a very bad move. I doubt we see him ever again in a WWE ring”.

We go on with Raw doing their predictable storylines until the beginning of the third hour. Cue Mick Foley. He is backstage when the current champion… now being held by…. Drake Maverick?…. “That is the last straw!” Yells Mick Foley. “Mick whips out a kindo stick and knocks out Drake, removing the belt. Mick turns to see a trashcan. Mick tosses the title in the trashcan and sets it a’ blaze. An Evil grin comes over his face and mick utters… “What the hell was Vince thinking. He wants a title that will make Monday nights RAW again? I’ll give him a title”. Go to commercial.

We come back and Vince is in the ring and he is livid. Mick is called out. Key Mick’s music. Mick walks to the ring with a bag. NEW TITLE BELT!!!! He tears Vince up verbally. Belts are to be respected Belts are to be earned. Belts are not to be handed to just anyone. Belts deserve credibility. The WWE needs a belt that will make Monday Nights RAW again. WWE needs a belt that brings ATTITUDE back to Smackdown. WWE needs a belt that can earn a title defense from anyone on RAW, Smackdown or even NXT. WWE needs a belt that is HARDCORE.

Vince is irrate. He grabs the bag from Foley. Vinces reaches in and jerks out his hand immediately. He has a snake biting his hand! “Oh crap! Wrong bag” explains Foley, “I grabbed Jake the Snake’s bag. Triple H hits the ring and grabs Foley. “Meet your new Hardcore Champion” exclaims Mick. Triple H turns to see CM Punk who blindsides Triple H.

Okay, CM Punk in the WWE? I dreamed too big, lolol….

Let’s see what happens in 20 minutes, I will report back after the show!
