The Judgment Day & R-Truth Segment 

Damian Priest: Welcome to Monday Night Raw. But more importantly, all rise for The Judgment Day.

Finn Balor: Creed Brothers, congratulations, boys. You did it. You earned it. You ran the gauntlet and became the number one contender to face me and my good man, Damian. For you, it’s the biggest match of your career. For you, probably the biggest night of your life. But, for us, it’s just another night at the office, because you’re stepping into the ring with the only two-time Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions of the world.

Rhea Ripley: Ivy Nile, run your mouth again, and I’m going to make what I did to your little friend, Maxxine Dupri, pale in comparison as what I do to you, because it’s as simple as this. The Judgment Day, we ran 2023, and we are going to run 2024.

Dominik Mysterio: The Judgment Day runs all of WWE.

R-Truth: Guys, hold up. Wait a minute. You left me. I didn’t know we’re opening the show. I love opening the show. Des Moines, Iowa. What’s up? Welcome to Monday Night Raw.

JD McDonagh: Truth, what the hell are you doing out here?

R-Truth: I’m in Judgment Day now, dog. The beatdown, last week, that was my initiation. I will say, I’m not one to complain, but we kind of crossed a line. A lot of those licks, they hurt. I was hurt physically and emotionally. DP, I know you didn’t mean it when you said you didn’t like me. I saw it in your eyes.

JD McDonagh: Truth, if getting hurt is what you were concerned about, you need to get out of the ring, now.

R-Truth: Well, it looks like everybody is looking for a fight. Right? She wants Ivy. Finn and Damian, you want to beat up on The Creed Brothers. I need somebody to beat up. You know, I’m looking around, I see the Christmas trees, the lights. There’s a lot of animosity between us, right. I say we squash the beef, so that we all can be a happy family. Let’s have a Miracle On 34th Street Fight.

JD McDonagh: That match was already made, already advertised. It’s happening.

R-Truth: Oh, we better get going, 34th Street is a long way from here. Siri, how far is 34th Street?

JD McDonagh: Truth, you got to be the last guy in the building to know this. This match is happening, in this ring, and it’s happening, right now. And for the last time, you are not in The Judgment Day.

R-Truth: I’m not in The Judgment Day if I lose this match, tonight. But you’re not in it if you lose this match, either. This is a Loser Leaves Judgment Day Match.

JD McDonagh: No way. Absolutely not.

Damian Priest: It’s a good idea.

JD McDonagh: You know what? Fine, it doesn’t matter, because you’re going to need a miracle to beat me.

Becky Lynch: Where are you going, Nia? You scared? You got a mic in your hands. You clearly came out here to say something. Was it about me? Because if it is, you can say it to my face. I’m here, now.

Nia Jax: Becky, as much as I would love to break your face again, I have more important matters to deal with. Because before you so rudely interrupted me, I was going to announce that I’m entering the Royal Rumble.

Becky Lynch: Oh, great, they don’t care, but they might care that you’re here. No, they don’t, but they might care that I’m here. In fact, The Man has come around to Des Moines. And she came here looking for a fight.

Nia Jax: Becky, do you know why we never fought? It’s because they are afraid of what I would do to you. Because let’s face it, you’re the money maker of this company. And if we were to go, one on one, that would end. Look at you, Becky, you are the size of my leg. I would literally squash you, and break your face, all over again. Now, is that what you want?

Becky Lynch: Well, you did say one thing that’s true. I am the money maker of this company, but that’s because I will fight anyone, anytime, anywhere. So, it’s not them, that is preventing this. It’s not them who’s scared of what would happen, it is you. Because your entire existence here has been on the back of somebody else’s name. First, it was your cousins. And now, it is mine, because while I will go down in history as the greatest to ever do it, your only claim to fame is that you broke the nose of the greatest to ever do it. You don’t want this fight because then that all goes away. There’s no woman who made the man. There’s just the person who lost, but to the greatest to ever do it. But if you want to prove me wrong, then all you have to do is fight me, right here, right now. Come on.

Nia Jax: Alright, get a referee out here, right now. Let’s do this. Seeing how badly you want this; you’re not going to get it. This will happen on my terms. Matter of fact, this is going to happen in my hometown, San Diego, California. You and me, two weeks, at Day 1. And after I break your face, Becky, and your laid up in the hospital with your little daughter, she’s going to be crying saying, mommy, why are you uglier than usual?

Shinsuke Nakamura’s Poem  

The American Nightmare Before Christmas. ‘Twas the week before Christmas, and out from my mouth, came a warning to Cody that Shinsuke would pounce. While your daughter is nestled, all snug in her bed, and visions of championships dance through your head, Shinsuke is plotting to live out your story, to ruin your plans, and extinguish your glory. The nightmare is over, the nightmare is through. The mist burns its eyes, for the nightmare is you. You bastard, you Cancer, you prancer, you nitwit, you’re vomit, you’re stupid, your father was inbred. My goal is to see that you’re living in fright. Merry Christmas to you, I will be your last fight.

Seth Rollins & Drew McIntyre Segment 

Seth Rollins: Des Moines. Welcome to Monday Night Rollins. Oh, sing it, Des Moines. Sing it, because I am visionary. I am a revolutionary. I am Seth Freakin’ Rollins. You know, Des Moines, things around here have been heating up for this Iowa boy. And after my little confrontation last week, I am feeling more motivated than I ever have, to continue to be the best world champion in this entire industry. Iowa, if you thought 2023 was something, wait till you see what we do in 2024. And that starts with Day 1, when I defend my World Heavyweight Championship against Drew McIntyre. Now, say what you will about Drew McIntyre, but at Crown Jewel, Drew gave me the fight of my life. Now, before you even open your mouth, I want you to know, I haven’t forgot about that headbutt from a few weeks ago, so tread, lightly.

Drew McIntyre: I’m not here to fight, Seth. We’ve got our match at Day 1 set. I’m here to tell you that I’m proud of you. There are so many people back there turning a blind eye, kissing ass when it comes to CM Punk, but not you. You walked out here, you looked him right in the eye, and you told him the truth. Exactly the way it needed to be said, and that my friend, is a real leader. And look at you. You’re at the top of the world, right now. You’re World Heavyweight Champion. You’re on a roll. We’re heading into the festive season. You’re in front of, basically your hometown crowd, while they’re singing your song. Probably feels good, doesn’t it? World Champion. You get to go home and spend time with your family. That’s been the case for you for years.

Recently, I’ve been reflecting a lot, I’ve been talking about my family, the sacrifices they have made because I had a chance to go home not long ago, and I started to see things that I didn’t like so much. I started to feel a certain way. I started to feel guilt. I started to see my family members getting older. I’m starting to see my dad getting older. And after 16 years, for the first time ever, I question, was this all worth it? This is something I think you could possibly relate to, but you can’t. There’s somebody in your household. There’s somebody you share your life with. Your wife is in the exact same position I am. All the way across the world, chasing this dream, doing whatever she can to make it happen, sacrificing every single week, and sacrificing that time with her family.

And you’ve been part of those difficult conversations, And the good conversations, you know, man, I wish I could make this wedding back home, but there’s a big show coming up, and I can’t let the fans down. And then the difficult conversations, when a family member gets sick. When a parent gets sick. My mom, her dad, and all we want to do is be by their side, and hold their hand, and be there for them when they’re going through it. But they tell us, don’t you dare come home, you keep chasing that dream, and make it happen. And that’s exactly what we did, but then suddenly they’re not here anymore. Seth, look me in the eye. I don’t want your title; I need your title. I need that validation. I have to know if all the sacrifices were worth it. I have to know if the hurt that I caused them was for nothing. And I’m willing to hurt you for everything. I will do whatever it takes to take that title from you at Day 1.

Seth Rollins: Drew, here’s the thing, man. I don’t think we really know entirely how to feel about you, man. Because you say stuff like that, and I want to take it to heart. I want to believe you, but as of late, your actions and your words, they really don’t line up. So, I don’t know whether to believe you or call you out on your crap. But I’ll tell you this, I respect you, because after I beat you at Crown Jewel, you came to me, you told me you were going to find a way back, you were going to work your way into another opportunity at my World Heavyweight Championship, and you have done that. But I want to know, Drew, as much as you need this, what makes you think the outcome this time is going to be any different? You say you will do whatever it takes. You say you’re not the same person. What does that mean? Are you willing to cheat? You’re willing to lie?

You’re willing to hurt people? You’re willing to take shortcuts? Is that what it is? Yeah, you have changed in that regard, but in many ways, you’re the same, because you still want to point the finger at everybody else. You still want to shift the blame. Yeah, Drew, you will do whatever it takes, right. Whatever it takes, except the one thing you need to be the World Champion, you need to take responsibility for your actions. You need to look yourself in the mirror, and you need to face the hard reality that, the only person keeping Drew McIntyre from being a World Champion, is Drew McIntyre. And I stood in this ring last week, I looked a man right in the eye, and I told him, I hated him. I meant that. I’m looking you right in your eyes. And, Drew, I don’t hate you, I pity you. Merry Christmas, Drew. I’ll see you in a couple of weeks.
