WWE Monday Night Raw is coming to us this week from the Izod Centre
in New Jersey and what will the fallout be from last night’s
Wrestlemania 29? We go to ringside where we are joined by JBL, Michael
Cole and Jerry Lawler. They throw to still photos from last night’s WWE
Championship match between Rock and John Cena
And we get things
underway with the new champ coming out. Cena takes the mic and says it
should be every superstar’s dream to not only be in but actually win the
main event at Wrestlemania. Because when you win the main event at
Wrestlemania you get to enjoy everything that goes along with it. The
adulation, the respect, and the cheers. Cena says he senses the crowd is
a little more than angry because Wrestlemania is over. But WWE is not
like the day after Christmas. This is the Raw after Wrestlemania. This
elicits a “boring” chant from the crowd. Cena says every Raw after Mania
is more than that and takes last year’s Raw after Mania as an example
when Brock Lesnar returned and kicked Cena’s ass. Cena said two titans
clashed last night, bodies were on the line and even the Rock got hurt
but out of that a new champion arose and says “The Champ Is Here”. Cena
says this is exactly what he wanted for a Wrestlemania main event
celebration and calls tonight his post Wrestlemania celebration and
tonight he’s defending his WWE Championship and if the next Road To
Wrestlemania starts tonight he’s kicking it off with a championship
match. Cena says he’s not going to look at the top 25 he doesn’t care
who it is. Mark Henry then walks out. Henry says the problem with coming
out and asking for trouble is trouble just might find Cena. Henry says
Cena won his match last night but Henry destroyed Ryback last night. And
with all this talk he and Cena need to have some action. Cena then
introduces himself to Henry and says he can see the look in Henry’s eyes
and says he’s afraid of Henry’s breath and tonight John Cena faces Mark
Henry for the WWE Championship. Booker T comes out and says he can
appreciate Cena wanting to be a fighting champion but Booker will not
have Cena going around making championship matches and Rock is entitled
to a rematch as he is the #1 contender. Booker says Rock suffered an
injury last night and will not be here tonight. Booker then tells Henry
he has to earn his championship shot. If he can beat Cena, Henry will
get his shot. Henry says Cena is full of jokes but he’s not laughing.
