RAW Opener;
Prediction Cup Block B Normal Singles Match; Coty Coleman (#3 Seed) vs JD Laflin (#7 Seed)
The show opens up with a dominant match and showing from the lone wolf, "Tiger" Coty Coleman. Each time that it looks like JD is about to build some momentum back, the rabid and intense Coleman completely derails any sort of offense. JD attempts to jump off the top rope with a flying clothesline, but Coleman catches him in mid air and drops him down viciously to the canvas with his FU!
The crowd fully gets behind Coleman and jumps up to their feet as Coleman quickly covers JD for the decisive victory. After the match is over, Maddin jumps into the ring to try and catch a quick word with the raging Coleman, but right when he goes for his line of questioning, Coleman screams in his face "THAT'S ENOUGH!!" and then proceeds to kick him in the gut and drop him down to the canvas with his signature FU that gets a huge pop from the crowd and an exciting rulebreaking start to Monday Night RAW! Coleman charges out of the ring and storms up the ramp in a very 1997 Stone Cold esque fashion as the crowd all starts chanting "Tiger" in unison.

"Home Invasion"
The camera cuts back from a commercial break to outside in the middle of the night somewhere. The camera slowly pans ups to 4 numbers...1031. As the camera zooms out to a full view of the door, Tony Murr is standing in front of the building with his trademark leather jacket.
“Here we are. I finally found you Stagg. Your penthouse condo. I told you I would find you. Looks like the light is on, let’s go see who is home.” - Tony Murr
The Murr walks in the front door. The minute he walks in Staggs personal force heads right at him. The first one to Murr gets thrown through the front glass window from his own momentum. Murr charges at the rest, the crowd is lighting up as he goes through them one after another, the whole squad is down in a matter of seconds!
The anticipation is rising as the cameras don’t cut away. Stagg is so full of himself he has his entrance music as elevator music; just hearing the music makes Tony even more furious. 28...29...30. The elevator doors open to the fiery eyes of Murr. He points to the camera and signals to follow him. Down a hallway filled with portraits from every year Stagg has been in WWEP, each portrait has a life sized bust of him in front of it, until a huge set of double doors is shown. The Murr picks of one of the busts,
“Well, let’s get this party started.” - Tony Murr
The bust is chucked through the air into one fo the doors completely knocking it over. The Murr runs in...to nothing!?
“Where are you Stagg! Where!!! I am here to finish you! Hahahaha” - Tony Murr
Every room, every closet, even the fridge, nothing!
“What the fuck! Where is he! God damn it!!!” - Tony Murr
The Murr frantically searches but to no avail. Until...he sees something on the table. A single piece of paper that read, “YOU THINK IT WOULD BE THAT EASY...DUMMY.”
Murr turns visible red with anger. Just when the crowd thinks he is about to pop...
“Hahahahaha, hahahahaha. Looks like you with this round Stagg. Let’s be honest, the hunt is the most fun.” - Tony Murr
Something catches his eye in the corner though before he proceeds to walk out. “Or maybe I will win something tonight.” - Tony Murr
The camera pans to a world championship belt in a glass case.
"Oh my god! I recognize that! It is the first world championship Stagg ever won!” - Jerry "The King" Lawler
Murr tips the glass case causing it to shatter on the limestone floor. “Ha ha Whoops” - Tony Murr
Murr picks up the belt shaking the glass shards off with a sick and twisted smile on his face, nodding in approval.
“I guess this will have to do for now. Hey Stagg, come and get it if you want this back...if not, the hunt continues. Hahahaha” - Tony Murr
The camera fades to black with Murr walking out gold draped over his shoulder.

"Adam, your Forever Home awaits you"
Cameras open up to a deserted grave yard with smoke rising up from the ground and split down the middle tombstones are half out of the ground. The WWEP Universal Champion Darren Cox slowly walks into the camera shot with his signature black trench coat and black hat, holding onto a long steel shovel. Cox stares sadistically into the camera for a few moments, before slowly beginning his monologue.
"Adam. In just one month...your ambitions, your dreams, your reality will come crashing down into an abyss of treachery. You will be buried in the sand. You will be my next victim. The Reaper will forever be the Universal Champion. You have entered the darkness. You have entered the pain. You have entered the valley of MY SHADOW OF DEATH, and you will not come out alive." - Darren Cox
Darren violently drives his shovel through a gravesite, shaking with emotion and fury.
"You can cut promo after promo about how you think you should be the chosen one, but make no mistake about it, you are just the next one to fall to your own demise by The Reaper. The Reaper will cast your lifeless soul into eternal damnation. The Reaper spared your brother Austin's life, but Adam, rest assured, you will not be so lucky." - Darren Cox
Darren starts to dig at the grave aggressively and after digging a decent amount into the ground, he takes a few steps back as the camera zooms in to show just how deep the grave is.
"Adam, your forever home awaits you. Welcome TO HELL!!!" - Darren Cox
A creepy lightning bolt comes down on the tombstone causing a definitive line to crack right in the middle of the tombstone. And as cameras slowly pan up on the tombstone, it reads, "Adam Stewart, R I P."

Normal Tag Team Match; The First Family (Steve Steigerwald & Brady Steigerwald) vs The Prestige (Tony Murr & Ben Conners)
The match starts off hot from the very beginning, with The Prestige clearly being in a very hostile mood, especially Ben, after what had happened on Friday night with Geraci. Ben is relenteless with his attack on Brady, never even giving Brady enough of a chance to even tag Steve in one time during the match. Tony stands on the ring apron with a shirt that reads "Stagg Fears Tony" as commentary hypes up the wildness earlier in the night that showed Tony breaking into RJ Stagg's penthouse suite over the weekend and stealing his first world championship, among other things.
Brady desperately reaches for a tag with Steve, but Conners just pulls Brady closer back into the ring and snaps on an ankle lock out of nowhere! Brady tries to break away, but Ben just keeps pulling harder and harder on Brady's ankle. Just as it looks like Brady is about to tap though, Steve comes barreling in with a kick to Ben's face! The referee immediately jumps up and goes to restrain Steve away from Ben on the other side of the ring. Tony then rips the turnbuckle pad off the top rope in the corner and screams for Ben to smash Brady's head into the unprotected steel. Ben in a rage picks Brady up off the mat and throws him face first into the unprotected steel beneath where the turnbuckle pad used to be! Ben slams Brady's head a few times into the steel behind the referee's back as he is trying to push Steve back out of the ring, but the final blow comes when Ben rares Brady back and throws him head first one more time into the steel, causing him to fall out of the ring unconscious!
Ben turns the referee around and screams at the referee to take notice to Brady being outside the ring and to start the 10 count. Before Steve realizes that Brady is laid out outside the ring, Tony comes barreling in with a dropkick to Steve's back that sends him flying head first into the steel ring barricade, wiping him out as well. The referee finally gets to a ten count and thus announces Conners and Murr as the winners of the match, while Brady continues to lay motionless outside the ring.

Prediction Cup Block B Normal Singles Match; Ashley Cox (#1 Seed) vs Matt Charles (#5 Seed)
When cameras come back from the commercial break, commentary builds this up as the preview of the century, with both these competitors just staring each other down with hate in their eyes. Both know that this is a must win for each of them, knowing that in just one month they will meet again at Survivor Series for the World Heavyweight Championship. Cox in her usual arrogant fashion makes comments throughout the match, antagonizing Matt and continuing to make fun of how his dad would be ashamed of him.
But even though Ashley looked dominant in the early going, the champion looked strong as ever taking it to Ashley right from the very beginning to hold his dominance in the division and prove why he is the most phenomenal athlete in the world today. However, Ashley is able to turn the tide a little bit when she focuses on Matt's injured right knee. Ashley comes down several times with her knees on top of Matt's knee as he screams out in pain and she just laughs at him. Ashley goes for a figure four leg lock and uses the ropes to her advantage to leverage her body up to make it even more painful and harder for Matt to get out. But just like at Hell in a Cell, the world champion refuses to stay down!
At one point during the middle of the match, the lights go out in the arena and sounds of screaming people echo throughout the arena for a few seconds which then turns to a few seconds of child laughter and the sound of a man heavy breathing. The man in a disguised voice takes a few breaths and then whispers "Trust in Me". The lights come back on and Ashley looks around with the referee in confusion of what just happened, but then continues the match as normal.
Finally Matt is able to opportunistically get over to the bottom rope for a rope break, but Ashley doesn't let up and just continues to pound away on the champion, iliciting a strong negative from the crowd and commentary building up the doubt that Matt will be able to walk out of Survivor Series as the World Champion. The next nearfall comes when Ashley seemingly has full control of Matt and comes barreling down with a frog splash off the top rope! BAM! But as she covers the champion, Matt once again is able to somehow someway kick out at two. Ashley starts antagonizing the referee and screaming for the referee to "count faster". Ashley continues to brutalize Matt in the center of the ring, screaming in his face that he is "not worth it" and that he is "a piece of garbage" with no business being in the WWEP. But as she shows off to the crowd and taunts at them and the referee, her galavanting gets the best of her as she goes to pick up Matt not paying attention, and all of a sudden the world champion rolls her up into a quick small package!! 1...2...3!! Matt won! Matt has pinned the #1 contender!
After the match, Ashley in a rage immediately jumps up from the mat and starts kicking at Matt's injured knee viciously!! Ashley pushes the referee to the side and just continues to brutalize Matt who just stole a victory over her, which the crowd gives her the biggest negative reaction of the night. Ashley finishes off her violent assault by picking up the steel ring steps outside the ring and driving them violently into Matt's knee several times before finally sadistically smiling at the crowd and walking up the ramp, leaving Matt in excruciating pain screaming out at ringside.

"Nobody swerves The Prestige"
Cameras come back from the commercial break to immediately hear the sound of Prestige's entrance music. "The Warrior" Cody Miller doesn't waste any time playing up to the crowd or anything else. Miller comes storming down to the ring and before the ring announcer can even announce his name, Miller pushes the ring announcer down and snatches the microphone out of his hand in a rage.
"Cut that damn music! Listen listen listen. I'm not here to go back and forth, Geraci...you made the biggest mistake of your life last Friday night. And now it's time for us to collect! Get your ass out here and we'll show you what happens when you think you can swerve The Prestige!" - Cody Miller
Geraci comes out with a huge confident smirk on his face and comes down to get face to face with "The Warrior." Warrior just stands there not saying a word to Geraci, and just staring intensely into his eyes with anger and fury for a few moments, which Geraci just plays off with a smirk. Geraci raises the microphone that Miller is holding slowly up to his mouth,
"Yeah, did you have to say someth..." - Ben Geraci
Miller snatches the microphone away and starts pacing around Geraci like a wild animal stalking down his prey. Geraci stands there with his hands in his pockets just smug smiling at Miller.
"Did you really think you were just gonna put the dagger in our back like that? You know I thought you were smarter than that. I thought you had some sort of sense to know what a real opportunity was. I thought you were the future. But you're not. You're just gonna be another little toy that Tdog plays with until he gets tired of you and dumps you like the garbage you are! But ya know what...I wouldn't even blame him! It doesn't seem like you can really think for yourself anyways, and now...heh, NOW and you're looking at the man who is gonna bust your teeth so far down your throat that Tdog will have a nice airstrip in your mouth when you go down on him!" - Cody Miller
The crowd "oooo"s at Miller's comment, which doesn't even seem to bother Geraci. Geraci with confidence grabs Miller's hand and raises the microphone back up to his mouth.
"Nah, that sounds more like something your wife did to me last night..." - Ben Geraci
Immediately this sets Miller off and he rares back and punches Geraci in the face! Geraci tackles Miller down on the mat and starts unloading shot after shot on him. The two get back up to their feet and run at each other to go at it again, but Geraci ducks underneath a punch from Miller, kicks him in the gut, and then follows through with his Razors Edge once again on Cody Miller! BAM! Geraci riles up the crowd behind him and starts screaming at Miller to get "his ass back up", but after just a few moments Cody's Prestige brother Ben Conners darts into the ring and gets face to face with Ben Geraci. The two stare each other down intensely as the crowd starts chanting YES YES YES YES just waiting for them to fight. After just a few seconds of staring each other down, Conners tackles Geraci to the mat and the FIGHT IS ON! Stiff unprotected shot after stiff unprotected shot is laid down on the other, with the two men rolling around the ring and throwing everything they can at the other one!
Security rushes down to the ring to try and pull them apart, but the two are still going at it, wanting to inflict as much pain as possible. Security is finally able to restrain the two men away from each other, but they continue to throw verbal jabs at each other, and Geraci screams over to Conners, "IF YOU WANT TO FIGHT, LET'S GO MOTHER FU**ER (bleeping sound)!!! COME ON BIG BOY!! LET'S FUCKING DO THIS!!" Making this feel as real as possible.
Conners starts to act like he is gonna walk out of the ring, but instead he turns around and starts taking out all the security guards trying to hold him back! Geraci does the same until they all are laid out! The two men dart back at each other and once again start brawling around the ring! This time it takes actual police officers to come down to the ring to restrain them away from each other, even going so far as to use their billy clubs on these two warriors wanting to rip each other's eyes out. Just as Conners is about to get carried out of the ring by the cops and taken to jail along with Geraci, Conners spits in the face of Geraci and throws one final stiff punch to knock him senseless for a few seconds.
The two men are eventually carried both out of the ring on opposite sides of the arena as the crowd goes crazy and commentary builds up that these two men almost killed each other out here, and that prediction is that this will certainly not end tonight!
"These guys are going directly to jail!!" - Tom Phillips

Backstage Interview; "We got your back"
Cameras slowly open up from the commercial break as an irate Austin Michael Pieper is darting through the hallway towards the parking garage, clearly very upset at what just happened. Jacob Bryant chases him down trying to catch a word with him about how he feels knowing what The Prestige just did to Geraci. Before Bryant can even get a question out though, Austin turns around and cuts him off in mid sentence.
"This is absolute bull shit! Conner should be ashamed for what he just did to Gerci! I don’t know why The Prestige thought for one second they thought they could turn one of our own against us. Geraci you made the right decision just like we all knew you would. I'm on my way right now to the police station to bail him out from all this bullshit that just happened! But we stand with Geraci. You’re part of The Hierarchy, which means we have your back no matter what! Conners, Cody, Matt, & Tony if it’s a fight you want against The Hierarchy...then god dammit, it’s a fight you’re gonna get! You guys better watch your back! We are the Hierarchy, we are Elite, and we are one! - Austin Michael Pieper
Austin pushes the microphone back into Bryant's hand and storms away as Bryant stands there with a confused, yet concerned look on his face as the scene fades and goes on location at ringside for the main event of the night.

Prediction Cup Block B Normal Singles Match; Darren Cox (#4 Seed) vs TDog (#6 Seed)
These two have not stopped fighting each other since the bell has rung! These two rivals hate each other. They’ve been foes ever since 2016. Darren kicks TDog in the gut and knocks him to the ground instantly! TDog grabs a hold of TDog bad knee and locks in a one legged crab lock! TDog is screaming in pain! It seems that TDog will tap but he makes his way to the ropes! The ref starts his count for Darren to let go of the hold. 1-2-3-4. Darren finally lets go after the ref almost disqualifies him.
Darren walks to a ring post and rests until TDog gets up and then runs over a knees him in the gut! Darren grabs TDog by his leg and drags him to the center on the ring and applies the lock again! TDog has no where to go and starts to tap! But the ref doesn’t see it! He’s distracted by "Wildman" Adam Stewart who has come to ringside to support his Hierarchy brother!
Darren let’s go and goes over to the ref, he’s starts to yell at him and the ref gets right back in his face and starts yelling. While this is going on, Adam sneaks TDog a pair of brass knuckles. TDog hides them in his shorts. Darren backs off the ref and goes back for TDog but he’s met with a super kick! TDog fails to realize this time though that he used his bad leg! Both men are down and the ref starts to count. 1-2-3-4....TDog slowly gets his bearings back. 5-6-7...TDog beats the count and the ref stops counting. TDog picks Darren up and sets him up for a Cross Roads....but just slams him on to the mat instead. He’s ushering for Adam to get him a mic. Adam grabs a mic and gives it to TDog.
“Look at this...what a PATHETIC example of a champion!” - TDog
Darren is on his knee and TDog kicks him in the gut like Darren did earlier in the match.
“This man right here! (Pointing at Adam) You’re looking at the man that will DECIMATE “The Reaper” at Survivor Series!” - TDog
Darren still on the ground, TDog just continues to kick and poke at Darren. “Come on! Huh you gonna do something! What a joke!”- TDog
TDog tosses the mic out of the ring. TDog grabs Darren and sets him up for a Cross Roads and hits him with it. 1-2-DARREN KICKED OUT! TDog buries his head in his hands. He has no clue what else to do. Adam raises his bat up, but TDog stops him! That will cost him the match! Boom! Darren hits TDog with a clothesline from behind and starts wailing on TDog! Adam gets up on the ropes and starts yelling at Darren! Darren runs to the rope, but Adam pulls down on the rope and causes Darren to go over!
TDog recovers from his sneak attack from Darren and goes to ringside where Darren is at. TDog picks Darren up and whips into a ring barricade and causes him to go over! The ref has begun the count. 1-2-3-4...TDog picks Darren up and “walks” him to the ring. TDog sets Darren on the edge of the ring. TDog looks at the ring post. Holy shit, he’s going for it! TDog gets up on top of the ringpost and prepares to do a Coffin Drop! He goes for it, but Darren rolls back into the ring, sending TDog crashing his spine on the edge of the ring! TDog is screaming in agonizing pain!
Adam is doing all he can to help his leader out! Adam helps TDog to his feet and Adam starts getting the refs face distracting him. All of sudden, TDog pulls out the brass knuckles and goes for, but he swings a MISSES! Darren kicks TDog in the gut again, and sets him up for tombstone piledriver! The ref begins the count. 1-2-3! Darren has pinned the chairman of the company! TDog drops lower in the cup and Darren moves forward.
Just as Darren is walking up the ramp after the match is over, before he walks through the curtain...he turns around slowly to look at Adam who is still helping TDog up. Adam looks like he is now in a catatonic state quickly draws his attention back to his Survivor Series opponent. The two stare each other down from a distance as Adam holds Shelia up at him and screams, "AT SURVIVOR SERIES, I BURY YOU!!" The two stare each other down as cameras fade to close.
