By Richard Trionfo on 2016-04-04 23:05:00

We start off with a look back at clips from Wrestlemania.

We are in Dallas, Texas and your announcers are John Layfield, Byron Saxton, and Michael Cole.

Vince McMahon makes his way to the stage and he does not appear to be broken up about what happened to his two children at Wrestlemania.

Vince says that his son had no chance against Undertaker.  Vince talks about the records set at Wrestlemania.  He says unfortunately we have a new WWE Champion.  His son in law and daughter are not feeling good.  Vince says there is no lock box and no one will have anything over him again.  Vince says when his grandsons came out, it got to him.  Vince says that while he was enjoying Undertaker kicking the crap out of his son Shane, there was one time that got to him.  When Shane went to the top of the cell.  Vince says he was saying Oh My God  . . . don't do it.  He did not know that Shane would risk his life for achieving his goals.  It made him respect Shane more, but it showed how foolish he can be.

Vince wants everyone to enjoy Monday Night Raw, it will be a show you will never ever forget.

Shane McMahon comes out and he walks so gingerly he cannot even shuffle.

Vince says he did not expect Shane to be out here.  He says that Shane should be in a hospital.

Shane responds to the crowd and thanks them.  He says he has two things to say.  First, since he is the only man in the family and they do things face to face, he came out to shake Vince's hand because he won.  The second has nothing to do with Vince.  Shane says he wanted to thank all of you because he will never forget them.

Vince tells the crowd not to encourage him because you are the reason this happened.

Shane thanks everyone and says goodbye.

Vince tells Shane that nobody upstages him.  Vince says it would be ridiculous if Shane ran Monday Night Raw.  Vince says to prove his point, he will see what Shane's got.

The New Day come out and Woods has a BOOTY-O over his horn.

Big E asks if things went according to plans?  Not really.  Kofi says he got to twerk with Shawn Michaels, and that is a boyhood dream of his.  However, Xavier took a Stone Cold Stunner from Steve Austin.  Xavier says after looking at the tape, it was his own fault.  Xavier says it was lit.  Big E says they have the last piece of BOOTY-Os cereal.  He calls it the Booty of Life.  They recreate the Lion King reveal with a Booty O.

Xavier says they are going to get their getback against the League of Nations.  They will walk out tonight as your WWE World Tag Team Champions.

We go to commercial.
