*The crowd is on their feet after some great SmackDown LIVE! action and the excitement continues when that familiar music hits over the speakers*
*They jump to their feet looking towards the stage area as Shane McMahon runs out on stage. He looks a bit taken back by the reaction and then starts heading down the ramp clapping and shaking the hands of some fans before entering the ring and grabbing a mic.*
Shane McMahon- WOW! Thank you. Really.. I appreciate that welcome. First I would like I would to say, WELCOME TO A NEW BEGINNING RIGHT HERE ON SMACKDOWN LIVE!
*Crowd cheers loudly*
Now if I could get right down to some business. I want to address the actions of The Club..
*Arena fills with a loud wave of boos followed by a "AJ sucks chant".
That couldn't be further from the truth. AJ doesn't suck, AJ is a coward. What AJ Styles and his two brainwashed followers did to The Undertaker after WrestleMania and what they did to two of our top stars was nothing more than cowardly attack. AJ Styles at one time, was someone I respected very much, key word, WAS. See AJ, those actions WILL NOT be tolerated here on SmackDown Live!
Shane McMahon- Now let's move on. Something I would like to do before revealing that big announcement that will shake the very foundation of this company, I would like to acknowledge the WWE Champion, Kevin Owens.
*crowd reacts with a mix of boos and cheers*
If Styles wasn't to learn something, he could learn a lot from Kevin Owens. I know that sounds strange to say about the man who kicked my butt, embarrassed me, talked about my family, etc. But Kevin Owens did things the way they need to be done. He was out to prove a point, he was out to prove that THIS IS THE KEVIN OWENS SHOW! and he did just that. Give it, he nearly got himself fired due to his actions but he handled what he did like a man, not like a coward. So congratulations to our WWE Smackdown Live champion and thank you for carrying that championship proudly.
With all that said, ARE YOU READY!?
*Crowd cheers loudly*
Over the last couple of months I have actively been seeking someone that could be the General Manager that you all needed. And with my sister Stephanie and brother in-law Triple H running RAW, I knew I needed someone with experience. Experience in ratings and frankly, controversy. Someone who knows Triple H better than anyone else. Someone I knew who would be s hard hitter and a game changer. With that said, ladies and gentlemen, your NEW GENERAL MANAGER OF SMACKDOWN LIVE!
*Shane McMahon points to the stage as the crowd looks on*
*The crowd literally just about explodes in cheers as the he makes his way down the ramp*
*Kevin Nash walks down the ramp to the ring. He steps over the top rope, shakes Shane McMahons hand, they exchange words before Shane exits the ring allowing Nash to have the ring.*
Kevin Nash- Surprised to see me? Look, I'm gonna make this real simple. I'm here to do a job, I'm here to make SmackDown LIVE! the number one show and I will do what I have to do to accomplish that. Now look, I know Hunter better than anyone else in this business, hell, probably better than Steph to be honest. I knw we go way back Hunter, friends make for great competition. We've been down this road before, except then we were young and could still go inside this ring. You may be sitting back their thinking that "hey, Shane McMahon just hired my best friend to be the GM, we can take it easy now". Well, just like when I jumped over to WCW, I didn't take it easy on you then and I'm not gonna take it easy on you now.
Bottom line is this, Shane McMahon offered me a lot of money and all of you know how serious I take that....
All joking aside, Hunter, Steph, you're pretty much family and I love you both but I have a feeling that this war will be very different from the last one because Smackdown live just became TOO SWEEEEET!
*the crowd throws up the too sweet sign as Nash's music hits over the PA. Kevin Nash begins to leave the ring as the scene fades to black.*
