WWE The New Era Ep4: Raw June 16
Location: Dallas, Texas
Commentary: Michael Cole & Nigel McGuinness
Theme: Power shifts. Rebellion. Momentum builds toward Money in the Bank.
OPENING SEGMENT – “The GM That Never Was”

Triple H opens the show in the ring, flanked by an official WWE contract.
“Raw needs a leader. A general manager for the new era… someone who understands what this brand means.”
He introduces Shawn Michaels, to a thunderous ovation.
Shawn takes the mic, full of emotion:
“Since NXT shut down after the court ruling, I’ve had nothing. But now… I’ve got a purpose again.”
Just as he’s about to sign the ironclad contract, Christian Cage appears from behind—and smashes Shawn over the head with a steel chair.

Christian picks up the contract, signs it himself, and smiles coldly.
“I’m your new General Manager. This is my show now. And I’ve got an ironclad contract. No one stands in my way. I am the father of WWE and all you back there will do well to remember that.”
MATCH 1 – MITB Qualifier: Bron Breakker vs Jey Uso

A banger to start the action. Jey Uso returns fired up. Bron Breakker is focused and explosive.
The match is hard-hitting and evenly paced. Jey nearly wins with a top-rope splash, but Bron kicks out at 2.9, recovers, and hits a monstrous press powerslam.
Winner: Bron Breakker
How: Pinfall after press powerslam
Qualifies for: Men’s MITB
Post-match, Breakker points to the briefcase and snarls into the camera.
MATCH 2 – Jade Cargill & Giulia vs Chelsea Green & Piper Niven

Jade Cargill and Giulia make their Raw debut as a powerhouse unit. Chelsea and Piper try to isolate Giulia, but Jade clears the ring with dominance.
A double suplex and powerbomb combo ends it.
Winners: Jade Cargill & Giulia
How: Pinfall (Cargill pins Chelsea)
BACKSTAGE COMEDY – “Tozawa Applies for the Job”

Tozawa, wearing a suit, fake mustache and carrying a clipboard, barges into Christian’s office:
“I want to be assistant GM! I have big ideas!”
He reveals doodles of himself as champion on every brand.
Christian:
“Get. Out.”
Tozawa slinks out, sadly cradling a thrown action figure he named “Little GM Tozawa.”
MATCH 3 – Tag Match: DIY vs Fraxiom

DIY (Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa) make their return to a loud ovation.
Fraxiom give them a serious challenge, showing off speed and heart, but DIY’s timing and experience win out.
They hit Meeting in the Middle for the victory.
Winners: DIY
How: Pinfall
Post-match: Respectful handshake with Fraxiom
MATCH 4 – Women’s MITB Qualifier: Raquel Rodriguez vs Shayna Baszler

Shayna targets Raquel’s arm relentlessly, but Raquel powers through and counters the Kirifuda Clutch.
She hits a Tejana Bomb and books her ticket to MITB.
Winner: Raquel Rodriguez
How: Pinfall
Qualifies for: Women’s MITB
ANNOUNCEMENT – Tag Titles on the Line

Michael Cole announces that at Money in the Bank, there will be a Tornado Tag Team Match to crown new WWE Tag Team Champions.
“No tags. No DQ. First fall wins.”
IN-RING PROMO – The Young Bucks & Jack Perry

Matt & Nick Jackson and Jack Perry mock CM Punk, saying they “ended his fairytale” and “run Raw now.”
Suddenly—CM Punk returns to a thunderous reaction!
He storms the ring and starts swinging. A wild brawl erupts.
Security floods the ring. Punk breaks through and lands a shot on Perry.
He grabs a mic mid-chaos:
“You want to run your mouth, Jack? Good.
Because at Money in the Bank—it’s you vs me. No running this time. You keep going on about real glass, well I’m gunna smash your face straight through the stuff at Money in the Bank!”
MATCH 5 – Seth Rollins vs Drew McIntyre

Rollins, still taped up from last week’s attack, fights with heart. McIntyre dominates with power.
Rollins makes a comeback, sets up the Stomp—but Bron Breakker’s music hits.
Seth hesitates. Claymore. 1-2-3.
Winner: Drew McIntyre
How: Pinfall after Claymore
POST-MATCH – Rollins’ Last Stand
Rollins crawls to the ropes and demands a mic:
“Breakker. McIntyre. You want to gang up on me?
Fine.
Money in the Bank—it’s me and a partner of my choosing… against both of you.”
“I don’t care who it is. All I need is someone ready to fight.”
Mic drop. Crowd erupts.
