Backstage Grisham is with Cena. He asks Cena about the Draft. Shock, surprise, disbelief. The SyFy channel is partying like it’s 1999. Bigger than the day Han Solo was frozen in carbonite. Doctor Emmet Brown won’t set the date on the Delorian for November 5, 1955. He’ll set it for tonight for the night Cena goes back to SD! Times change. The biggest change will be at Extreme Rules. He’s going in as a member of the SD roster and walking out the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, returning it to SD, where it belongs!

Miz walks in, all smiles. He says the best part is that Cena’s last match will be against Miz. The best part is that after this Sunday, Miz can’t see Cena.

At announce they start discussing the Draft, but Cole cuts in and says he’s the main event and will take down JR! King and Josh went on to talk about R-Truth and his recent turn.

Video of JoMo defeating R-Truth in London last week, taking R-Truth’s chance at the WWE World Heavyweight Champion at Extreme Rules. After the match R-Truth turn heel and beat down JoMo.

R-Truth out to the stage in a RAW t-shirt. He goes for the cheap pop, but then yelled, “shut up!” they should boo themselves. He wants to break it down for them. The topic of the day is ‘you.’ “Shut up!” chants start. He says it’s all about you. Last week JoMo, his friend – “WHAT?” JoMo came out and challenged him for – “WHAT?” For his spot in the Championship Triple Threat Match at Extreme Rules. They’re pissing him the hell off! Why did JoMo challenge R-Truth? Because of them. He accepted because they wanted him to. He lost because of them. He’s starting to realize – they have him pissed off. He spent his career trying to please them, that got him nowhere. Got him diddley-squat. He came out rapping so they can dance with him. They’re out of tune and off beat. Look at little Jimmy, he’s so cute with R-Truth, sing it! Oh, little Jimmy. Hey Jimmy, am I making you smile by singing ‘what’s up?’ Is him singing putting titles around R-Truth’s waist? So you can wipe your nose and shut up!

For ten years he chose the fans. But now, he’s officially giving every last one of them the boot. See ya later, bye! Duces! You know what else? Sit down four eyes! You know what else? Ten years of frustration and disappointment, when he let that go, it felt marvelous! He’s being honest for the first time in his life, the truth has set him free!

JoMo from behind attacks R-Truth. R-Truth rolls down the ramp. JoMo after him and on R-Truth with blows. The refs are out, pulling JoMo off R-Truth. They back JoMo up the ramp, calm him, they let JoMo and he runs down R-Truth. JoMo takes R-Truth down hard! They again drag JoMo off R-Truth who’s covering his head. JoMo again gets free briefly, but pulled off. R-Truth looks up at JoMo wide eyed.

Another Kong/Kharma promo. Blond doll, this time she pops the doll’s head off, then laughs. The camera pans up to show her face. ‘HARM’ pops up on the screen, then off. When it comes back onto the screen a ‘K’ and an ‘A’ was added on each end to spell ‘KHARMA’. (Amazing!)

Draft Pick Match – Eve vs. Layla

Eve in the ring in red and gold. Layla comes out swaying her hips in tight pants and a destroyed SD t-shirt. Video of Michelle attacking Layla last week at therapy.

They lock up, knee to Eve’s gut. Eve slammed to the mat for two. Michelle screeches at Layla in the ring. Then Cole starts on the mic, he has more important than this. Eve pins Layla for three.

Michelle attacks Layla, but then Layla slams Michelle back first into the barrier. Layla then slams Michelle head back into the barrier a couple times, then onto the apron. Layla is in tears, then sends Michelle over the announce table at King and Josh. Layla continues to cry as Michelle gets to her feet whimpering.

Rey is drafted to RAW! Backstage in the cheering, Orton isn’t wearing a RAW t-shirt. Rey out to the stage. He gets a RAW t-shirt and puts it on, but it clashes with his very blue ring gear tonight.

Backstage JR is stretching and did a few jumping jacks in his Boomer Sooner’s jersey. He puts on his famous hat and King can be heard saying, “Oh my god, I think he’s winded.”

– Commercial

Backstage Grisham is with Cody. He asks about Rey being drafted to RAW. Cody says now that they’re on different shows, he’s giving Rey a going away gift after their match at Extreme Rules. He’s giving Rey a new mask. The anesthesiologist’s mask going into surgery. Booyacka booyacka bye bye bye.

Kofi out to the ring, all smiles. Sheamus out to face him.

Michael Cole w/ Swagger vs. Good Ol’ JR! w/ King

Cole is out in his heinous orange singlet, with head gear. Swagger is in tow. Booker is on announce with Josh and King. Cole with his dream catcher tattoo gets in the ring, all the while calling for more reaction from the fans. Video of Cole being ‘knight’ and then making JR kiss his encrusted foot. JR out to the ring to face Cole. The fans love JR. JR hands his hat out of the ring and starts pacing. King is up on JR’s corner. Cole mocks JR’s girth while showing his own beer gut. Cole continues to mock JR as they circle.

Cole pokes JR in the gut, then backs off. Cole dances around like a goober, then leaves the ring to get JR’s hat. Cole puts JR’s hat on his head and struts around. Cole back into the ring wearing JR’s hat. Cole then takes the hat off and stomps it. Cole and Swagger laughs. Cole stops JR to get toweled off by Swagger. Cole then fakes a one armed push up.

Finally JR grabs Cole’s straps and pushes him back across the ring. Swagger puts a stool in the corner, calls time out and gets a drink. Cole says he’s a collegiate wrestler while JR’s a brawler. Cole grabs JR, somehow gets JR up, then falls back with JR on top. JR stays on and beats on Cole. Cole flees the ring, but King sends Cole back in. JR sitting on Cole’s body, throwing punches.

Cole screeches about what JR did to him as he whacked JR. King makes it back into the ring and clotheslines Swagger over the top, then grabs JR’s belt. Cole tries to flee the ring, but King grabs his ankle and gets a few blows with the belt before he is able to escape. King helps JR to his feet.

Ding-Ding! And I quote, “This Sunday at Extreme Rules JR and King versus Cole and Swagger will be a Tag Team Country Whipping Match.”

JR has a large smear of blood on his right cheek and a little blood on his right forefinger. JR seems rather pleased with the new direction of their match.

Backstage Stanford is with Miz and A-Ri. Miz coughs and A-Ri turns the WWE on the mic upside-down. Miz is snotty to Scott about him wanting to hear what Miz has to say when everyone’s so worried about the Draft, no wait, it’s JoMo and R-Truth. Forgot, next week schools close, mail stops and everyone comes out for Rock’s birthday. The most electrifying birthday in birth-a-tainment. Really? Really? That’s what everyone’s talking about? They won’t be talking about Rock’s birthday next week. He shouldn’t have to fight in a Triple Threat in a cage. Cena will go to SD a loser. JoMo, wherever he goes is a loser. Everyone should hope Miz isn’t’ drafted to SD because RAW, within one month, will be cancelled. He’s the Miz and he’s awesome!

Winner – Orton

Orton wins two Draft picks. The screen starts shuffling, but then Punk out and stops the Draft. He says the PPV is Extreme Rules. They will get extreme, but rules don’t apply, except one, the ref’s ten count. Punk will beat Orton with so many sticks, furniture, his head, his knees, his feet and Orton has no one to blame for himself. A simple RKO out of nowhere won’t mean anything. Punk’s sending Orton to SD so beaten up, broken down and a Shelley of what he used to be. Orton says there’s many things he’ll miss from RAW, but he won’t miss Punk’s rambling on and on and on. After this Sunday Punk won’t be walking, talking, eating, drinking. All he’ll be doing is sleeping. Unconscious sleeping because Orton will be the last man standing.
