Richard Trionfo filed the following TV Report:

We are less than a week away from Unforgiven and the trifecta of title scramble matches. Who will walk out of the ring with the World Title. With Raw in St. Louis, will we see anybody who lives in the area make an appearance? What is next for the most powerful couple on the Raw brand? What will Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase do to get their titles back from Cryme Tyme? What will happen during the contract signing between Shawn Michaels and Chris Jericho?

We begin with a graphic in memory of Walter Kowalski, who passed away over the weekend.

We are live on tape from St. Louis, Missouri and your announcers are Jerry 'Gateway Arch' Lawler and Michael 'Why is everyone calling me Eckstein' Cole.

Randy Orton comes out and his arm is in a sling. He enters the ring and he has something to say. Orton says that he is still injured and the crowd is pleased. He says that he wanted to wait until he was 100 percent but he has something to get off his chest. He says that a brand is only as strong as its champions. Orton says that when he was champion, Raw was the top brand in the WWE. Now Raw is a joke. The women’s champion Beth Phoenix walks around like a love sick teenager. Randy says that this is not 90210 and she is embarrassing herself. Now it is time to talk about the weakest Intercontinental Champion in the history of the WWE. Randy says that he could beat Santino with a broken clavicle. At least he has a title. Ted DiBiase and Cody Rhodes don’t even have their titles. They should be called ‘Worthless’. Randy says that if someone took his title, he would beat that person to a pulp. The real problem on Raw is there is a guy who is disgracing the World Heavyweight Title and his name is CM Punk. Four years ago, when he won his first world title, Punk was wrestling in no name towns, wrestling in a no name company. Then he climbed a ladder and lucked into a title match. That is how he became champion. Orton says that insults everything he stands for. Randy says that he would love to challenge CM Punk tonight to take back what is his. Orton says that he cannot do that because he is not medically cleared. When he is cleared, and it won’t be long. He will challenge Punk for the title and he will reclaim his show. Orton says that he will make everyone forget about the sorry history of Raw known as CM Punk.

Speak of the devil, CM Punk’s music plays and he comes to the ring. Punk gets in Orton’s face and he says that he got a headache listening to Randy talking. He says that he does not want to live in the past. Not everyone has daddy and granddaddy to usher them into the WWE. Some people have to earn it. It doesn’t matter how he got the title, he is the champion. Punk says that he does not drink, he does not smoke, and he does not take joyrides on his motorcycle at three in the morning. He went from the Age of Orton to an afterthought. Punk says that Orton is jealous.

Orton says that Punk is the most pathetic champion, but Punk tells Orton that he is not going to get a shot at the title. Punk says that he has a battle royale to win tonight, and a Championship Scramble on Sunday. Then he wants Orton to walk down the aisle and tell him who the joke is. Punk says that there is one person in the ring who is pathetic and it is not him. Orton says that this conversation will have to continue at a later time. Orton leaves the ring. Punk tells Orton that he will do everything to hold on to the title until Orton comes back.

Punk is interrupted by John Bradshaw Layfield who walks to the ring. Bradshaw has a mic and he tells Punk that he does not get it. Fairy tales are not real. In six days, it will strike midnight for Cinderella. The fluke of a title run will be over. There is an eighty percent chance that Punk loses the title. Bradshaw says the odds are higher because out of nowhere, the Clothesline from Hell can hit and he will be the champion. Bradshaw says that he would love for it to be Punk to take the Clothesline, it does not have to be him. It could be Batista, Kane, or Rey Mysterio.

Bradshaw is interrupted with Kane and he is without his child scaring sack. Kane asks Bradshaw about the Clothesline from Hell. Kane says that he has been in hell and he has not seen the clothesline. He says that Rey is in hell and regardless of what Adamle says, Rey Rey will not be there on Sunday. Kane says that he made sure that Rey will not be here tonight. That means that there is one less person in the Scramble.

Batista cannot be left out of this gabfest and he comes to the ring. Batista spears Kane and then he spears Bradshaw while Bradshaw goes after Punk. Batista then spears Punk. Batista leaves the ring and there are bodies in and around the ring.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Cole and Lawler talk about the battle royale. Cole says that there will be some ECW wrestlers on the show tonight. There is an ECW battle royale with the Scramble participants.

John Cena’s music plays and he has turned into Charlie Haas. We see the footage from last week when Charlito debuted. Charlie says that Cena might not be here, but the Haas is here and you can’t see him.

Match Number One: Charlie ‘Master of Thuganomics’ Haas versus Kofi Kingston
They lock up and Haas with a knee but Kofi with a monkey flip. Kofi sends Haas into the turnbuckles. Haas with a punch and it is time for the five knuckle shuffle, but Kofi with a kick and punch. Kofi with a drop kick and flying forearm. Kofi with a cross body and then he hits a side Russian leg sweep. Kofi with the leaping leg drop. Haas with a punch and he gets Kofi up for the FU but Kofi escapes the hold and tries for a rollup. Kofi with Trouble in Paradise for the three count.
Winner: Kofi Kingston

We go to commercial.

We are back and Randy Orton is with the tag team champions. Cody reminds Orton that they are the tag team champions. Orton asks Cody if he remembers the first time they met. He asks if he remembers Randy slapping Cody’s father. Randy slaps Cody. Randy says that they are the toughest in the locker room, but they lost to John Cena and then they got their titles taken from them. Randy tells them to grow a set.

Mike Adamle is with Teddy Long and The Tiffany. Mike thanks them for attending tonight’s show. Mike mentions the scrabble participants from ECW and the ones from Raw. Mike suggests a Labor Day tradition. Maybe it could be like the Jerry Lewis Telethon without the sick kids.

Kane enters the office and he talks deliberately saying that Adamle was wrong to announce that Rey was coming back. Kane asks Mike why he would do that, while reminding Mike his name. Mike says that he was hoping that Rey would come back and accept the invitation. Maybe Rey will be here tonight. Kane says that Rey’s body and soul has been massacred.

Match Number Two: ECW Scrabble Scramble Contender Battle Royale featuring Matt Hardy, Chavo Guerrero with Giant Bam Neely, Finlay with Hornswoggle, The Miz, and Mark Henry with Tony Atlas
Everyone surrounds Henry and they go after him to try to eliminate the champion. Henry pushes everyone off and Henry with punches to everyone. Miz and Hardy with a double DDT to Henry and Miz and Hardy with elbow drops. Miz with a clothesline to Hardy. Finlay slams Chavo onto Henry. Finlay gets Chavo up for a fireman’s carry slam. Hardy with a Side Effect to Miz and Miz is sent to the apron. Finlay and Hardy with a double clothesline and both men are down. Miz and Chavo discuss strategy but Chavo tries to eliminate Miz. Henry eliminates Miz and Chavo at the same time. Henry with a splash to Finlay followed by a boot to Hardy and a clothesline. Hardy with a boot to Finlay’s head and it is time for a splash in the corner. Henry tries for one to Hardy but Matt moves. Hardy with punches and then Finlay and Hardy try to eliminate Henry.
