Damien Sandow & Curtis Axel Promo
When we return from the break we see highlights of what went down between Damien Sandow, The Miz and Summer Rae last Monday on RAW. After that, we return live in the arena where Damien Sandow is introduced. He is already standing in the ring.
Sandow asks to beg for our indulgence for one moment. He tells us his name is Damien Sandow. He tells us that he came to WWE in a blue robe looking to enlighten everyone. He says we all know how that worked. He says WWE told him he wasn’t entertaining enough.
The fans boo and Sandow says you said it not me. He runs through some of the gimmicks he had immitating various people over the years. He then talks about his run as Damien Mizdow. He says he was on a quest to entertain, but he lost a lot of respect from his peers. He says it was worth it though because he gained the respect of the WWE Universe. He thanks the fans.
As he continues to talk, he is interrupted by Curtis Axel. Axel comes out and tells us not to change the channel because Axelmania is running wild. He makes his way down to the ring.
Axel gets irritated as while he’s doing his Hulk Hogan-Axelmania schtick, Damien Sandow starts mocking him by immitating him. He does and says everything Axel says exactly how he says it.
Axel finally loses his cool. He tries to punch Sandow but Sandow blocks it and drops him. He knocks Axel out of the ring and then immitates him selling. His music hits to end the segment.
