Report by: David Stephens of Wrestleview.com

Jerry Lawler is in the ring as RAW will kick off tonight with a dance contest between Chris Jericho and Fandango. Lawler puts over Jericho’s past on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ and then welcomes out the competitors.

Chris Jericho is being accompanied by a dancer named Edyta Sliwinska.

Fandango says that he knows that he can beat Chris Jericho. There will always be a better man than Jericho, and his name is Fandango.

Lawler asks Jericho for a response. Jericho welcomes the fans to ‘RAW is Jericho’. He says that nothing was more impressive than when he beat four competitors, including Lawler, to become the first ever RAW Musical Chairs Champion in history. He also won on RAW’s version of ‘The Price is Right’. Chris knows that he will win this competition. Jericho says that at the PPV he is going to invent a new dance sensation that will hit number one on the charts. Jericho is going to kick his jack-ass all over the ring.

Fandango and Summer Rae are the first to dance, or they would have been, but Fandango never starts to dance. He asks for the music to be cut off. He grabs a microphone and tries to hush the crowd. He says that he is trying to create a masterpiece out here. Fandango needs silence. He needs to focus.

Fandango moves back to the center of the dance floor, oh yeah the ring mat is a legit dance floor at the moment. Summer Rae and Fandango start to dance but – oh no! Rae falls to the ground and apparently twists her ankle. Fandango is not being supportive and is annoyed at his partner’s collapse.

Jericho’s dancer goes over to check on her fellow female. Fandango is not pleased and is about to flip. Jericho walks over to step in between the two and make sure that there is no conflict. Fandango finally loses it and kicks Jericho. Fandango continues the attack outside the ring by tossing Jericho into the barricade. Fandango grabs a part of the dance floor and uses it to bash Jericho over the head.

Fandango reenters the ring and looks out upon the carnage. Summer Rae springs to her feet and leaps into Fandango’s warm embrace. They pose in the ring and it becomes quickly obvious that we’ve been hoodwinked. Fandango and Rae make their way up the ramp.

Teddy Long is brought out to announce what will happen as result of Ziggler being concussed and not able to compete at Extreme Rules. Zeb Colter and Jack Swagger are out to argue that Ziggler should be stripped of the title and have it given to Swagger since he is the one that knocked Dolph out.

AJ Lee v. Natalya

The Bella Twins and also Kaitlyn are on commentary for this match. The Great Khali and Hornswoggle are also standing at ringside. Apparently they are playing detective to figure out the identity of Kaitlyn’s secret admirer. Cause, why not. There is a lot going on at ringside in this match as the commentators start to talk about The View and are paying no attention to this match. AJ wins, though thanks to a neglected sense of commentary I’ll leave it at that.
