The Carrera family settles in to watch WWE Monday Night RAW. "Then. Now. Forever." Flash on the Flat screen TV. A video leads into the show. A video shows Dean Ambrose arriving at the Arena in a yellow taxi cab, earlier in the day. Ambrose pays the guy and lets him drive off before stopping him. Ambrose goes in the car and retrieves his forgotten WWE World Heavyweight Championship.
The RAW intros happen, and a live shot inside the arena, as the pyros go off, and Michael Cole puts over the brand new WWE World Heavyweight Champion Dean Ambrose. Michael Cole is joined by JBL, and Byron Saxton. Right to the ring, as Dean Ambrose's music hits, and he comes out to a big reception, from the Phoenix, Arizona crowd. There is a podium on the stage that simply read "SmackDown." Ambrose smiles as he holds up the WWE World Heavyweight Championship in the ring. Still, photos are shown from last night's Money in the Bank Ladder match.
Then still photos are shown of Seth Rollins defeating Roman Reigns for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Dean Ambrose then came out and cashed in Money in the Bank on Rollins. Ambrose then defeated him with Dirty Deeds to win the title. Ambrose stands in the ring, and soaks in the crowd.
WWE Universe chants "You deserve it." Ambrose points at them to indicate it is the other way around. Ambrose says, "Oh boy, last night was a long night in Las Vegas, and I'm, not even talking about the stuff I don't remember."
Ambrose mentions the Cleveland, Cavaliers winning the NBA Championship, which draws boos. Ambrose says, "He doesn't like them anyway. His foot got run over by a cab, and oh yeah, he had to climb a ladder to win the Money in the bank contract. At some point, he almost got bit by a dog, but then this other thing happened when he cashed in Money in the Bank on Seth Rollins to become the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. If you want to talk about a guy who had a long night, it's Seth Rollins. Rollins was the right guy in the right place at the wrong time.
Ambrose says, "This is the lesson of the week: what goes around comes back around." Ambrose has another lesson hard work pays off. Busting your ass and keeping your nose to the grindstone pays off, and when it pays off, it pays off big. Rollins called him, "The Man," Reigns called himself "The Guy" so is he "The Dude?" a "Dude" chant breaks out.
Ambrose says, "You can just can him "Champion." He's been chasing the title for two years. This is why he's kept coming back, and dusting himself off. As he stands in the ring with it, it was all worth it. We're not having hard times anymore!" Roman Reigns' music hit and he comes out to the stage, to big boo from the crowd. There is also a "RAW" podium on the opposite side of the stage. Reigns get in the ring, and circle Ambrose.
They stare at each other Reigns takes a deep breath, and say, "Last night, it wasn't my night, because last night was your night."
The WWE Universe lightly cheers that. Reigns congratulates Ambrose, and says, "He's happy for him. Reigns doesn't care what the crowd thinks. This is his boy".
Reigns ask how good it felt to cash in on Rollins.
Ambrose says, "He would have cashed in Reigns as well. A "You can't wrestle" chants break out. Reigns just smirks and looks into the crowd.
Reigns says, "To all the dudes chanting "You can't wrestle. Take a sip of your beer, and shut your mouths!"
Reigns ask if Ambrose is a fighting champ because he has a rematch due to him.
Seth Rollins' music hit, and he comes out to a reception, screaming this isn't how it works. For seven months, he worked his ass off to get back to the ring. Last night, he achieved his dream to beat Reigns, so he's going to the back of the line. Ambrose stole his championship from him.
Reigns says, "It doesn't feel good huh, Seth."
Rollins says, "When he did it to Reigns he did it to his face, and Rollins was the champion, and never properly lost it, so Reigns can go to the back of the line because that's going to the back of the line."
Reigns says, "If he didn't lose it, then why it is on Ambrose's shoulder?"
Rollins says, "Ambrose stole it from him."
Reigns tells Rollins to shut up and stop complaining. There is a very easy way to settle this. Reigns drop the microphone and get in Rollins' face.
Seth says, "There is nothing to settle between them. Rollins beats him last night, and deserves a rematch for his title."
Shane McMahon's music hits, and he comes out to boo from the WWE Universe. A "We want Stephanie and Vincent" chant breaks out. Shane is not happy with the fans booing him and then chanting they want his siblings instead of him.
Shane congratulates Ambrose on not only winning the Money in the Bank ladder match, but also cashing in, and becoming the WWE World Heavyweight Champion. As far as Rollins and Reigns go, there is a simple solution to see who will face Ambrose. They should have a match.
Rollins says, "They had the match last night. Shane cannot go around making decisions. Did he consult Stephanie and Vincent? They wouldn't approve."
Shane says, "That's funny. Stephanie isn't here tonight, so he's running the whole show."
Vincent McMahon's music hit, and the WWE Universe erupted when he come out to the stage to a big reception.
Vincent stared at his brother and says, "Hold it, Shane. You're not running the whole show tonight. I am here tonight and our sister is not here tonight. So as far as the match go it will happen tonight." Rollins is furious, and storms off.
When RAW returns from the break, Vince shows Michael Cole, JBL, and Bryon Saxton at the ringside, and they began talking about the mediator session, and the revealing of the DNA test taken by Linda and her daughter Kristina proving to Shane McMahon that Kristina is his half-sister. And, then Linda revealed that she had changed her will which now included her daughter Kristina, son-in-law Alex Sr.'s grandson, Alex Jr.'s granddaughter Cathy, grandson Stephen, and granddaughter Kayla. Linda took out her oldest child Shane.
JBL talks about how Shane's wife Marissa appears and throws a folder on the table and that reveals that Shane hires a Private Investigator to find out if Kristina is his half-sister.
"So, what we are going to show you right now, is the mediator session," Bryon Saxton said.
Up on the TitanTron a video showing Linda's old office everyone was there.
"Before we began, on July 11, 2016, I will be rendered my final decision on who will be in charge of Monday Night RAW and who will be charge in of SmackDown when it goes live on July 19, 2016. Next, I will be meeting with you Shane Vince Sr. will be present then the following week I will meet with Stephanie and Vincent."
"Funny how you didn't mention my father being present with you when you meet Stephanie and Vincent."
Kristina looked at him and said, "I do not need your father present because Stephanie and Vincent are not like you a conceit obnoxious cocky douchebag. They both have respect for me as Judge. You lack respect for the officer of the court, and our mother Linda."
WWE Universe cheers, they had come to like Kristina she was a feisty and no-nonsense woman.
"My attitude toward my mother is none of your business," Shane snarled at Kristina.
"It is my business because your mother is my mother and I will not; I repeat I will not allow you to be disrespected toward our mother again. It will cost you more than your inheritance from our mother, oops wait I am sorry. Mom has already taken you out of her will. And I am sure that your father has already changed his will as well."
WWE Tweet
"Ooh Shane doesn't look happy with Kristina's statement toward him." lol #WWERAW
Fans Tweet
"Kristina is in Judge Mode now. Shane has met his match in his baby sister." lol #WWERAW
"Kristina lay down the law to her half-older brother to watch his mouth toward their mother." #WWERAW
The WWE Universe watched the TitanTron, and Vince said Sr. "Kristina is right Shane; I've already started to make changes to my will."
"What?" Shane said.
"You must be hard of hearing Shane. I said that I already started to make changes to my will.
"Well, you cannot give my half to her because she is not your biological child."
"Say you, but I can give your half to anyone I chose and I am chosen to give to Kristina \because Kristina is my mine stepdaughter and she is your mother's daughter."
Stephanie and Vincent smirked and Kristina said, "Now. I watched RAW last week, and I must say, that Vincent and Stephanie did a fine job running the show, as for you there is nothing I can say, except that you are not saving the WWE family business for the next generation."
"That's a lie. I am trying to save the WWE for the next generation of McMahons."
If that is true you would be trying to work with our siblings, but instead, you are trying to undermine them, and accuse them of being lousy bosses."
The Titan Tron went black as the WWE Universe booed, and then the commentators talk about Kristina's announcement that on July 11 she will be rendered her final decision on who will be RAW and SmackDown Commissioners. Michael Cole informed the fans at home, they will hear from AJ Styles tonight, and he will talk about his loss to John Cena t Money in the Bank.

Vincent says, "You are not on the list that my sister Kristina has."
"It will be someone from the New Era, and that will represent change. It won't be Laurinaitis or Shane. It'll be whoever my sister Kristina chose."
