Location - Calgary . . . Alberta, Canada
Announcers - Michael Cole & Jerry "The King" Lawler





We are live from Calgary . . . Alberta, Canada and your announcers are Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole.

We start off with Randy Orton and he is already in the ring. Randy says that he is out here because he has been hearing rumours. He has heard people talking behind his back about how he is worried about facing John Cena at Summerslam. The same people said that he bullied Jeremy Piven last week to have Jeremy do his dirty work. Orton bullied Jeremy Piven last week the same way that he can bully everyone in the crowd. It is because he can. He does not answer to ‘you people’. Randy says that they are all beneath him and their opinions do not matter to him. What matters to him is that in less than two weeks, he will be facing John Cena at Summerslam. Orton says that he will be Cena at Summerslam. Orton guarantees the victory.

Orton did not guarantee John Cena coming out to the ring to confront Orton. Cena paces in the ring and then he says that Orton talks about rumours and facts and that makes him angry.

. Cena wants to know why they are out here.

To be honest, I actually didnt find Raw tooo good, Mainly because I found all our guest host seemed interested in was taking the mickey out of Canada, Rather than focusing on the show (Jeremy Piven was the same, except he was focusing on his movie.). The matches were good, but Sgt didn't really do much for the show. Boring.
