We kick off with highlights from Survivor Series and last week's electric main event segment. Raw starts now! Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole are at ringside as always. Backstage by the merchandise stands, Chris Jericho, flanked by security, runs down Cena. Jericho doesn't want ti mingle with Cena's fans, hence the security. Jericho doesn't respect any of Cena's fans, nor does he like them. They're nothing like him. He's accomplished everything he's set out to accomplish. He takes pride in his appearance, he has pride, morals. He's never represented these people when he was champion and he won't do after Armageddon when he's champ. Jericho walks through the crowd and threatens to have a fan thrown out for touching him. In the ring now. They can boo him all they want and they can cheer for John Cena but it doesn't matter because none of them are worthy of being his fans. They're worthless. But one John Cena fan is worth saving, one that's very important to him and that's his son. Three years ago, Cena beat Jericho in a match that caused him to get fired from WWE. His son was only 2 years old and the time, too young to realize how great his father was. But in the 3 years since, his son has watched Raw and become a John Cena fan, to Jericho's utter horror. He would parade around the living room saying the champ is here. He would drop him off at school and he would say "you can't see me, dad!" His son's hero was the very man that got him fired in the first place. So he took action and banned his son from watching WWE. He was kicking and crying and screaming and it broke his heart, but Jericho stuck to his principles. So he didn't see when Cena made his return at Survivor Series and stole the title, or when Cena stepped over the line and disgracefully assaulted him last week. But he will lift the ban at Armageddon so his son can see his hero get beaten. He wants his son to see his hero beaten down and exposed as the flash in the pan that he is. And he wants his son to see his real come home with the World Championship around his waist, and that's him.
