We are in St. Louis, Missouri and your announcers are Michael ‘What will happen to Randy Orton in his home town’ Cole, John ‘I want to see El Torito leap from the Gateway Arch’ Layfield, and Jerry ‘What gets thrown in the Mississippi River tonight’ Lawler.

We start off with the man who will be wearing the black and white at Hell in a Cell in the WWE Title match, Shawn Michaels.

Shawn takes a few deep breaths before starting his comments. He thanks everybody who voted for him on the WWE app to be the referee at Hell in a Cell. Shawn says that it is nice to know that they have not forgotten about him.

Shawn says that he knows that everyone is concerned about the person feelings that he has for the competitors in the match. He trained a man who had aspirations to be a WWE Superstar. That man was Daniel Bryan. Shawn says that he has always liked Daniel Bryan.

He has never liked Randy Orton and his best friend is still Triple H.

This match is not about him, it is about the two competitors in the match and it is about crowning a new champion. He respects the participants in the match and he respects Hell in a Cell. He was in the first one, held in this building. Thinking about that match, he is glad that he is retired. Shawn says that he saw what happened at Night of Champions and Battleground and it was a crock. It will not happen again. Two men will walk into Hell in a Cell and one man will walk out as the champion.

Randy Orton makes his way to the ring. He tells Shawn that he has a match next against The Miz so he will make this quick. Shawn has everyone convinced. He wants to fill Shawn in on a little secret. Randy reminds Shawn that he was born and raised in St. Louis. He knows the people of St. Louis better than anybody. He tells Shawn that the people of St. Louis aren’t all that bright.

He can see right through Shawn. It isn’t that he doesn’t like him, he resents Randy. No matter how great Shawn was, Randy says that he will always be better than him and it eats Shawn up inside.

Shawn apologizes but he was not paying attention to Randy. Shawn tells Randy not to worry about him. He needs to worry about Daniel Bryan.

Randy says that he will destroy Daniel Bryan. He will hurt Daniel real bad and he will force Shawn to count three and raise his hand as the winner of the match. Randy says that everyone knows that Shawn is no stranger to screw jobs because it has been a feature of his career. If Shawn screws him over, there will be no coming back from what Randy does to him.

Shawn asks Randy if he is trying to intimidate the special referee for his Hell in a Cell match. Many have tried and many have failed to try to intimidate him. Shawn says that if Randy touches him, he his going to kick his pretty head off his pretty shoulders. Shawn has two words for Orton.

Randy tries to RKO Shawn but Shawn avoids it and he tries for Sweet Chin Music but Orton avoids it. Orton goes to the floor and Miz attacks Orton. Referees separate Orton and Miz.

He put aside his personal and professional needs to ensure that this company would be here for everyone. He became the authority, knowing what it would entail because people do not like the boss.

He dealt with the walkouts and insubordination. Hunter says that his breaking point took place last week when he was unconscious in the ring while people were chanting ‘Yes’. The crowd chants ‘Yes’.

Hunter says this is the way it is. After all they have done, they are just the villains. Hunter asks if everyone wants him to be the bad guy . . . fine. He will give you something like you have never seen before. Big Show will grovel at his feet to avoid incarceration or financial ruin. Anyone who defies their authority will beg to keep their jobs.

Anyone who thought the word yes better pray right now.
