Seth welcomes everyone to Raw. He says he is feeling some type of way tonight. In case you didn’t know, adrenaline is a powerful thing because this past Saturday in the Last Man Standing Match, Nakamura took him to his limit. There were times in that match where he didn’t know if he could get up, but he did. There were times when he didn’t know if he could keep Nakamura down, but he did.
