October 23, 2006 Chicago, IL Commentators: Jim Ross & Jerry 'The King' Lawler
JR and King welcome us to the show and immediately begin talking about Kevin Federline and his getting FU’d last week. Oh btw, they aired endless clips of E! entertainment news, Jimmy Kimmel live, etc. He’s even got his own graphic and will be in the corner of Johnny Nitro later tonight.
Oh and if that wasn’t enough, his ‘music’ hits the arena and he comes out to the ring. K-Fed is kicking off Raw. K Fed said he wanted ‘payback’ on John Cena for his getting FU’d last week. He said everyone was talking about how he was humiliated on national TV. He said he wasn’t like the Chicago Cubs and not a loveable loser. He said tonight he’d get his revenge. He said he had a few more people who would do the trick on Cena at Cyber Sunday. He introduced World Heavyweight Champion King Booker. I’m so excited! It’s a real King!
Sharmell cut the music. Sharmell said that my king and yours, had something to say to us serfs. He said he listened to Federline’s CD and called it a ‘treasure’. He called him an artist. He said Cena would pay for his actions because Federline was a trendsetter. He said everyone here wanted to be like him. He said Cena’s title would be on the line on Sunday and that when the smoke cleared, he’d be both the WWE and World Heavyweight Champion.
Big Show’s music hit and he came angrily down to the ring. He said everyone needed to hold on a second. He said he agreed that Cena’s title should be up for grabs at Cyber Sunday. He also agreed that Cena should be beaten within an inch of his life. Booker got mad that he didn’t address him as “King”. Show continued on about being the most dominant guy in the WWE before King cut him off with a huge ‘Boulder dash!” Line of the night. Anyway, they pointlessly bicker some more before Cena’s music hits and he comes out to the ramp.
Cena said he had the Big Show, King Booker, and Kevin Federline. He said this must be the dumbest line up in the history of celebrity jeopardy. He said what he saw when he looked out there he saw a big, royal, pain in the ass. He said K Fed talked about pay back and revenge, but he made the wrong choice. Cena mocked Show, calling him the Stay Puffed Marshmallow man, and being the white fat Albert. He ran down Booker next. He said he was alright with the 12th century stuff and the English accent and other stuff. He said tonight he crossed the line and called K Fed’s album a ‘treasure’. He said maybe he was the wrong one to break it to him, but he had officially lost his status as a black man.
Ron Simmons showed up from the outside and looked at Booker for a little bit and after some pondering, took the mic and said ‘damn’ and then just walked off. He told Federline he’d be better off to quite trying to annoy the WWE Champion, and instead concentrate on playing with himself.

Melina came out immediately and nailed James with a lariat. James came back with a spear and landed a ton of punches to her face.
