After a wild Ambulance Match that saw Shawn Michaels, Ric Flair, Big Show and Christian return to help WWE Champion Drew McIntyre vanquish Randy Orton, McIntyre and the legends will kick off tonight’s Raw. What will the mood be inside the WWE ThunderDome after McIntyre’s big win?


:raw:

- Tonight's WWE RAW opens up on the USA Network with the standard video.

- We're live from the WWE ThunderDome at the Amway Center in Orlando, Florida as Tom Phillips welcomes us. He's joined by Byron Saxton and Samoa Joe.

- We go right to the ring as WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair makes his way out. Big Show is out next, followed by Christian. WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels is out next and he stops to pose on the ramp as the pyro goes off. Tom talks about their roles in the Ambulance Match at WWE Clash of Champions last night.

Michaels takes the mic and says it's been a long time since he's done this but... welcome to Monday Night RAW. Michaels goes on and introduces the WWE Champion. Out comes Drew McIntyre. He poses in the ring as more pyro goes off. Drew says this is really cool, standing with these four in the ring. He wasn't expecting what happened last night but he thanks them for Clash of Champions and the win over Randy Orton. Drew goes on about his history with each Legend. Drew says what brought us all together was our disdain for Orton. Drew says they beat the hell out of each other last night but in the end he put Orton in the ambulance, and now he stands before us still the WWE Champion.

Shawn says one of the reasons they came out here was to collectively thank Drew for beating Orton's ass. He talks about how they got together while recovering from Orton's attacks and wanted to help even the odds. He hopes Drew isn't mad for their interference, but he jokes that if Drew is mad, it was all Flair's fault. Drew doesn't care who starts beating on Orton. He goes on until Orton interrupts on the big screen. Orton hopes Drew is enjoying this moment because it will not last, it will not be over until Orton says it's over. Orton says if Drew thinks he went through hell last night, he has no idea what hell is. Orton says he won't be finished with Drew until he's WWE Champion. Drew asks if Orton is going to beg for another match.

Orton says Drew doesn't get it. He doesn't need to beg, he will be given a match because he is Randy Orton, a multi-time champion. Orton says the only reason he's here is to remind everyone in the ring that there is a price to be paid when you cross The Legend Killer. The camera shows Orton grabbing his suitcase and leaving the arena. Drew says it's such a shame that Orton has left the building. Drew says all this talk about titles has given him an idea. He's in the ring with Legends and he's trying to cement his own legacy. Drew says he doesn't feel great from last night but he's going to put his title on the line tonight, because that's the champion he wants to be. Drew issues an open challenge to anyone in the back who he hasn't faced for the title. Who wants to step up? Drew tells the Legends he will join their party later on, just don't get too drunk. Drew faces the camera again and tells the roster in the back to please step up. The music hits and Drew celebrates with the Legends some more.

- Tom hypes Zelina Vega vs. Asuka in a rematch from Clash of Champions. We get a look at last night's match, which saw Asuka retain her title. Vega is backstage now as Kayla Braxton approaches, asking about her being a poor sport after last night's loss. Vega says she's just getting started here but everyone will feel so sorry for Asuka when she's done with her tonight. She goes on about how Asuka won't be ready for her. Asuka appears and they have words. Asuka says she will be ready but she just hopes Vega is ready to lose again. The argument gets heated as officials pull them apart. We go to commercial.
