(After the RAW opening package)
Ding, ding, ding.
Mike: This opening contest is a Winner Take All fatal 4 way elimination match for the NXT championship, the NXT North American championship, and the WWE 24/7 championship. Currently in the ring, he is the WWE 24/7 champion, the NXT North American champion, and the NXT champion... TAKERU 'TK' TAKAISHI!
The crowd of NXT trainees cheered as the triple champion held up his newly acquired NXT titles, his 24/7 belt wrapped around his waist.
Tom: Welcome everyone to Monday Night Raw where we are kicking things off with the always entertaining 24/7 championship. I'm Tom Phillips joined by Byron Saxton and Samoa Joe.
Byron: Guys have we ever seen such an instant rise like TK has had?
Joe: Just this past Wednesday on NXT's Great American Bash we saw TK reach the top of the mountain when he unseated both Keith Lee for the North American title AND Adam Cole, ending the longest NXT title reign in history. And for that he's earned my respect.
Tom: TK only the second person to become a triple champion while holding the 24/7 championship.
SHOCK... the system
(cue: Undisputed by CFO$)
Outcomes the first opponent.
Mike: And his opponents. First, from Tampa, Florida... weighing in at 200lbs... representing the Undisputed Era... RODRICK STRONG!
Rodrick Strong came down to the ring, mumbling a mantra to himself after the nightmare he went through with Dexter Lumis two weeks ago on NXT.
Chillin out with the crew in the school yard, finding trouble never looking too hard.
Mike: Next, weighing in at 120 lbs...…. JADEN YUKI!
Out comes the protagonist of Yu-Gi-Oh GX, fluffy brown hair, red jacket, black pants and brown shoes. "Time to get my game on!" Jaden said before running down the ramp and sliding into the ring.
Just then an eerie music started to play through the speakers, a song that Rodrick recognized instantly "Oh no, oh god no!" he shook his head as out came the figment of his reoccurring nightmares.
Tall, short blond hair, small, tiny mustache, zero emotion on face. black gloves, green pants.
Mike: And...… from Recluse, Wyoming... weighing in at 239lbs... Dexter... Luuuuuuumis.
Dexter just stoically walked down the ramp, his eyes casting a faraway look that seemed to dig into the soul of Rodrick Strong. All the memories of Lumis came crawling back, the time he was shoved into a trunk. When Dexter made that slither into the ring, he jumped onto the turnbuckle with a yelp.
Referee Charles Robinson held up all three titles.
Ding, ding, ding.
First thing that happen was Dexter moving towards Rodrick, which made the UE member jump out of the ring screaming like a little girl. Strong booked it out of the arena, "GET THAT FREAK AWAY FROM ME!" Roddy yelled as he ran as far as his legs can carry him.
Dexter then turned around and was hit with a superkick from Jaden, which didn't even faze him. Jaden then went for a few punches before he ran into an uppercut from Lumis that knocked him away. Then TK went into attack Dexter, but Lumis caught him and tossed him into the southwest corner before driving his shoulder into TK's midsection.
Lumis then delivered a back elbow to Jaden before putting him in the same corner as TK. He then continued the shoulder thrusts in the corner, he then whipped Jaden out of the corner before flinging him right back into TK. The Tortured Artist then caught Jaden with a release German suplex, as TK fell to the mat. Dexter then picked up Jaden and hit him with a snap suplex. Dexter then caught an incoming TK and tossed him over the ropes, with the champion landing on the apron.
Dexter then charged off the west ropes and ran right into a kick from TK which knocked him back, TK then capped off with a springboard blockbuster which brought the man down. Jaden then came in with a running shooting star press, Jaden then hooked the leg.

Lumis quickly latched on the his Kata Gatame submission, this made Strong panic as the Post Dexter Lumis Stress Disorder came in (or as the UE call it PDLSD).

Mike: Rodrick Strong has been eliminated.
As soon as Dexter released the hold, Rodrick quickly slid out of the ring and ran back to the locker room. Dexter was then hit with a running meteora from Jaden, who was hit with a superkick from TK.
