The segment between Bret Hart and Vince McMahon on WWE Raw last week was not scripted. Both parties came up with their own material and aimed to make it seem as ‘real’ as possible without discussing much of the verbiage ahead of time. The spot with Vince saying that Stu Hart did not deserve to go into the Hall of Fame was the only pre-planned part. This was the go-home moment that Vince would deliver so that Bret would know when to react and start unloading with punches.
The dark match between Sheamus and John Cena, which ended with Batista running in to attack Cena and powerbomb him on the ring steps, led to Cena directing Sheamus in the aftermath. Sheamus was standing over the fallen Cena with the title belt but it was evident to the live crowd sitting nearby that Cena instructed Sheamus, telling him “Put the fucking mic down, start to pick me up and drag me to the middle of the ring… OK, stand above me and hold the belt in the air… Go around the ring when you’re facing the announcers both with the belt in the air, I am going to get up and FU you.†This then led to Cena recovering and giving Sheamus the Attitude Adjustment to send the crowd home happy.
