"We Own It" by 2 Chainz Ft Wiz Khalifa blasts in the Stadium as the show starts off with a video footage detailing historic events over the Monday Night Brawls sixteen year history. Images of previous EWC Champions are shown, starting with the very first Champion Black Ninja, then moving onto Big Mac and Steve Bennett. Sped up footage then shows a special montage of Memphis Reigns, Shadow Man, Hirsh Valentine, Jesse Nunez, Hurricane Jeff, Moses Lake, James Chambers, BDC, Jay Cee, Stray, Gladiator and then The Rev all with the World Championship.
A fast cutting montage of the last episode of Brawl now begins to play. From the incredible Fatal Fourway to the epic victory by Jay Cee, all the matches get a special highlight from last show.
The opening pyros hit and here we go.
The energy in the EWC Stadium is electrifying. Spotlights circle around the arena as the 65,000 fans in the venue are shown in a wide angle shot. The camera then pans out showing a full scale view of the jam packed arena and zooms in on some crazy fans
A chant begins of

The lights dim.
The TitanTron flickers on.
The letters P R E S I D E N T M A C flash across the screen.
The thousands in attendance jump to there feet in excitement and start pounding there feet on the ground and clapping there hands creating the sound:
BoomBoom CLAP!
BoomBoom CLAP!
BoomBoom CLAP!
"Coming Undone" blasts over the P.A. to the delight of the fans.
Pyros explode up and down the entrance Ramp and all around the entrance stage. Once the smoke begins to settle an old-style movie curtain parts at the top of the ramp. Two roving spotlights pan and fix on center. There, President Mac stands, head bowed in his signature sun glasses, arms out-stretched with clenched fists. And as the lyrics kick in, and the fans sing along, Mac clap-clap-stomps toward the ring, slapping hands. At ringside, he takes off his "specs" and gives them to a young fan. Mac pauses in front of the ring and stares out at the capacity crowed chanting his name, he smiles, soaking it all in. Then he hops the top rope and stands half way up the turnbuckle, posing for the thousands of camera flashes all over the arena
The song finishes and Mac is standing in the middle of the ring, but the fans in attendance are still standing, chanting, screaming, cheering. This is the moment they have waited 3 long years for. Finally the EWC has retuned to the USA.
MAC: Neeeeeeewwwwwww Yooooooorrrrrrrk
The crowd explodes again, even louder then before
MAC: Welcome to the Four Hundred and One episode of Monday Night Brawl
Chants of E-W-C begin across the stadium
MAC: How do you like your new Stadium?
More screaming and cheering erupts
MAC: Glad to hear it, and you know what?
Fans scream "WHAT!!!!!!!??!!!!!!"
MAC: It didn't cost the city a dime
Another thunderous uproar of cheers
MAC: I decided to do something different. Obviously the EWC cannot be here every single week or even every single month to wrestle..
The fans let out a humours amount of boo's followed by laughter
MAC: Haha.. I'm sorry. As I was saying though, I wanted to build a Stadium that the city could use on a regular basis but at no charge to anyone but me. It's my way of giving back. We are actually building 10 more EWC Stadiums world-wide and they will all function with the same deal.. no charges to the Cities or Countries they are built in
More cheering, more screaming, more clapping
MAC: I pulled this off at a minimal cost to me. Each Stadium is very obviously worth close to a Billion Dollars each. It rivals Cowboy Stadium in every way. However, each stadium only came to a cost of around One Hundred and Seventy Million. It's a huge chunk of cash yes, but it's worth every penny. I wanted to give you, the fans the best experience possible when it comes to our live shows. That's hard to do when you are using someone elses toys. These stadiums are customized for BRAWL, for RAMPAGE for any PPV we may show. They are a wrestling FIRST facility
Another eruption of cheers
MAC: Basically what I did, is I worked out an incredible deal with all the contractors involved. They all have a stake in the EWC and the Stadiums. They all get a part of revenue which helps to cover all the costs, plus all future maintenance and upgrades, and gives them a little extra too.
Fans stand and cheer once more
MAC: So that's that. Are you guys ready for some Wrestling?
The eruption of cheers is now absolutely defining
MAC: That's what I thought
Mac looks over to Joe Aiello and Jeremy Piven
MAC: Joe and Jer.. they are all yours
"COMING UNDONE" begins to blast over the P.A. and the fans all stand and cheer as Mac slowly exits the ring and makes his way back up the ramp. Mac makes sure to shake as many hands as possible as he walks to the back
