RAW this week starts with a replay of the huge ECW tag match last week. HHH was beating the heck out of everyone with a chair and Regal turned the lights out. When they came back on Orton was in the ring and hit an RKO on HHH.
The lights are completely out in the arena. JR and King are talking about it when the come on. Regal and Lillian are in ring. Lillian starts singing God Save The Queen. Huge heat. Regal stands there stoic through it all. “You suck” chants start.
Regal asks how dare the disrespect his country and him. He’s the GM and King and can do as he wishes. He can have people thrown out if he wishes. He’s going to make an example of people. He leaves the ring and starts walking around looking at the fans in the front row. He picks a couple people and says they’re being tossed out.
Mickie rushes out to try to stop it. Regal says he doesn’t care if it’s her brother and his girlfriend. He tosses them out and goes back to the ring. Mickie follows him to the ring. He tells her he’ll throw her out too. He then threatens to strip her of her belt. He’s about to do something when Cena’s music cuts him off.
Cena comes down to the ring. He puts an arm around Mickie and escorts her from the ring. He watches her leave and glares at Regal. He says he’s been gone for a few weeks. Usually when he comes back he’s bouncing around ready to raise some hell. But he needs to talk to Regal man to man. He knows Regal’s in a new position. He knows he’s working hard. He knows how hard it is to pour his heart out and is then told he sucks. He knows everyone thinks Regal is screwing up.
Regal says Vince agrees with him
Cena says Vince is crazy. He talks to himself and has so strange sexual fetishes. Cena says he has fan’s letters. He reads one that says, “Why should they respect Regal when he doesn’t respect us.” Another says, ”This is bad, WCW Thunder bad.” A 75 year old grandmother says, “Regal is like pooping in my mouth and calling it a sundae.”
The fans are giving tons of heat, including chanting, “Fire Regal.”
Regal asks if this is how people feel.
Cena says they do feel this way.
Regal says he won’t shut off the lights tonight. He says that Cena’s been gone due to the kick in the head from Orton at the PPV.
Cena says he wants to know when JBL will be involved, five or ten minutes into the match.
Regal says no one will interfere. If they do they will be suspended. Regal says that now that he’s earned some respect, he leaves the ring.
Cena stops him on the ramp and says he didn’t earn respect, he made a good match. He still needs to talk to him though. He started the Show by having Lillian sing God Save The Queen. They’re in America now. If Regal doesn’t clean it up even God won’t save him. The fans will rip him apart. Cena gets so cheap pops and then gets Lillian to Sing Aretha Franklin’s Respect.
Of course she does it beautifully.
