RAW LIVE Coverage and Discussion - 15th Sep, 2014
Location - Lafayette, Louisiana
Announcers - Jerry "The King" Lawler, JBL, Michael Cole.

Paul Heyman is in the ring and he introduces himself. He says that he is here to give us a preview of what will happen this Sunday at Night of Champions. First, coming down the aisle will be the former Champion. You will hear his music (and Paul hums it). All of the children will be cheering for him. Then coming down the aisle will be his client. The conqueror, the beast incarnate, the reigning, defending Undisputed WWE Champion of the World, BROCK LESNAR

You can boo all you want, but Brock will give you more to boo about on Sunday. If you thought the beating John Cena suffered at SummerSlam was vicious . . .

John Cena’s real music plays and he makes his way to the ring.

John says it is a little cliché, but he does not see him. Where is the beast? Where is the one in twenty-one and one? Where is BROCK LESNAR?

Paul says that it depends on your definition of ‘where’ . . .

John interrupts and he says that he was showing up for a fight. He is either going to fight him or he is going to fight Paul.

Paul says that as a businessman, he would entice the people to pay $9.99 to watch it on the network, but John wants to give it away for free in the Cajundome. Paul says that you are going to get that right now.

Paul tells us . . . HERE COMES THE PAIN . . . but there is no pain because Brock is not coming out. Paul says that John is good. For those of you who haven’t heard, he figured it would be on the internet by now. Brock flies on a private plane because he does not like anybody . . . especially John. There are always delays and Brock’s plane has been delayed. He is on his way here. He will be here. Paul tells John that he thinks John knew the plane was delayed. He called Brock out because he does not want to fight Brock at Night of Champions.

Paul says that John plays this hero character better than anybody and he applauds John.

John grabs Paul by the collar and John tells Paul that he is full of crap. Here is what he knows. Seven days ago, he gave Paul 24 hours to produce the beast. If the beast doesn’t show up in 80 minutes, it will be halftime. Once we get to that point and Brock is not here, he will kick Paul’s ass.

Paul tells John that he will tell him when Brock gets here and he leaves the ring.

John cuts Paul off and he says that he does not trust Paul. Since the people want a fight, he is going to make sure that they get one. John puts Paul in a side head lock and he walks Paul to the back.

We take a look at what happened at the end of Raw when Roman Reigns was put into the cage after his match with Randy Orton. We see what Seth Rollins and Kane did to Reigns.

He told John to take it out on them last week, but he was wrong that John would not turn his back on the Cenation. Paul says that he can be the trigger. To beat the beast, you have to become a beast. That hatred has to be deep inside you. Paul says that he is the one to bring out that hatred. Paul says that John will not hit him because that will make John a bully. Paul says that John knows that Brock’s plane is delayed. Will John take it out on a 49 year old father of two. That is why John cannot beat Brock Lesnar.

You cannot say the Champ is Here or My Time is Now because Brock took it from him.

You will never be the WWE Champion again. You cannot beat Brock Lesnar.

John says that if there was ever a man on the face of this Earth who deserved to have his face rearranged it is Paul. He is the scum of the Earth. Paul tells John to hit him so he can become a Paul Heyman guy.

John says that he planned this because he thought that Paul would produce Brock Lesnar and he would fight Brock so he can prove that he is ready for Sunday. It is just Paul. An old, washed up scumbag who doesn’t deserve the dirt on his hand.

Those are the comments of a Neanderthal. He says that Reigns walks on his knuckles and that is why he will have bloody knuckles. He is part gorilla, part Samoan, and part rhinoceros. A rhinoceros is a tough animal, but it is not that smart. It is brains over brawn every time. He made Roman Reigns and is responsible for everything he accomplished in the WWE.

We go to commercial.

We are back and it is time to take a look back at John Cena putting his hands on Paul Heyman before Brock Lesnar arrived in Louisiana.

Michael Cole brings out the man who will challenge Rusev on Sunday and do it for the United States, Mark Henry.

Michael points out that Mark is a former Olympian and has represented the United States before. Michael asks how Lana and Rusev’s disdain for America makes him feel. He says that he hates that. Mark mentions that he had to withdraw from the Olympics in 1996 due to an injury. It still haunts him. Mark says that he has a second chance and this is his.

Mark tells Michael that come Night of Champions he is going to shut Lana and Rusev up. If anyone in here loves America like he loves America. He promises you that he won’t . . . can’t let you down.

Michael says that people think he is a changed man.

He points out that Lana has continued to disparage the United States. She has run down the United States on social media.

Mark says that Lana would not be able to say those things if she was in the United States. If she was in Russia, she would not have the luxury to say those things.

Rusev’s music interrupts and he brings out his giant flag with him, along with Lana.

Lana tells Mark to Shut up.

Mark tells Lana to send Rusev down to shut him up.

Lana says that it is comical to speak of education when all you speak is propaganda. One thing we subscribe to in Russia is the one thing that you Americans forget . . . the facts. Since American intelligence is dropping faster than the President’s approval rating, Lana says that Rusev and her have provided visual aids for Mark.

Lana says that Mark forgot to mention he participated in the 1992 Olympic Games. Maybe it was because you failed there also. Mark failed in 1992 while Russia prevailed. Lana wants everyone to rise and show respect for Russia’s 1992 Gold Medalist.

Lana says that in 1992, your confidence was shattered when you saw the superiority of Russia’s Olympians. That is why you faked an injury in 1996. Deep down, you knew then what you know now. You reek with inferiority compared to Russia’s finest and greatest athletes. Just like your President cowers in fear when he hears the name of Mother Russia’s greatest leader, Vladimir Putin.

History will repeat itself at Night of Champions when you fail to the super athlete Rusev.

Mark says that he wants to make a pledge to everyone in the arena and everyone in America. First, he wants to make a pledge and he recites the Pledge of Allegiance but Rusev comes into the ring and they brawl.

Rusev with kicks and punches to Henry followed by shoulders in the corner. Henry throws Rusev across the ring but Rusev with the leaping thrust kick.

Henry throws Rusev over the top rope to the floor.
