WWE RAW Opener:

The post-Money In The Bank edition of RAW opens up with a lengthy video package to honor the memory of the late, great, “American Dream” Dusty Rhodes. After the video package, we shoot to a live shot of the arena where the fans are chanting “Dusty! Dusty!” and then we go to the usual RAW opener to bridge the gap from that to the regular show.

After the intro stuff, the regular RAW show kicks off with Seth Rollins coming down to the ring. Rollins pretty much spends several minutes basically saying, “I won last night.” Total time-filler nonsense so far and we’re ten minutes deep.

Finally, after several more minutes of bragging, Dean Ambrose’s music hits. The fans explode as Ambrose comes out. Ambrose and Rollins argue back-and-forth for a bit about last night’s match.

Eventually, Sheamus comes out and this leads to our first match of the evening here on the post-Money In The Bank edition of RAW.
