We opened Raw is Power with world champion "Stone Cold" Steve Austin strutting down to ringside.

"Hello and welcome to another gatdamn episode of 'RAW IS POWER!' For the sake of any new viewers out there, and there are a lot of you because The Power Trip is growing this company like a motherfucker, I am "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, World Champion and Co-CEO of this entire gatdamn company. As Co-Ceo of this company I get to make the matches and I get to make the rules. Two weeks ago in Vegas I made the rules and kicked Jushin Liger's ass in a ladder match, last week I made the rules and kicked the Undertaker's ass and this week...well, this week, we're doing things a little different-like. Y'see, my Co-CEO, HHH, he said 'Steve, there have been some close calls these past few weeks. Maybe you shouldn't stick your neck out and jeopordize our control of this company every damn week.' Now personally. I don't think I'm jeopordizing shit. I'm the best in the world and I prove it each and every week. But sometimes in business you got to compromise, so here's how things are gonna work this week. Open challenge. First chump to step up gets a match with me. But it'll be a non-title match. You somehow beat me, then congrats, you get a title match at a future time... of the Power Trip's choosing. So c'mon, ya somebitches! Anybody out back got the grapes to battle the boss? Move your ass on down!" [url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffFBdWBp0NE&t=15s"]Ken Shamrock emerged from the backstage area![/url] He didn't say a word, but simply glowered at Austin. "Ding ding, we got a winner! Steve Austin vs. Ken Shamrock, later on tonight, stay tuned cuz we're gonna blow the fucking roof off!"
