Promo Rules For RAW Segment Revealed

RAW Monday Night RAW

Reddit user wickedsfinx posted a sheet which had the booking plans and promo rules for the tag team division BBQ segment on this week’s RAW.

You can read the contents of that sheet below:

RE-WRITING PROMOS AT TV:

* PROMO BULLET POINTS

1. B-Team welcome everyone to the BBQ // Show off the various food items

2. B-Team say that they are next in line for the RAW Tag Team Titles

3. Titus and Slater confront B-Team about their claim

4. Titus starts food fight which ends with B-Team putting Rhyno through a table

– WHAT IS THE PREMISE // DOES THE PROMO MAKE SENSE (as a STAND-ALONE and in SHOW TOTALITY)?

– TELL A STORY: MAKE IT ENTERTAINING // GRAB THE AUDIENCE’S ATTENTION // BIG FINISH

– DO NOT CHANGE TENSES

– REHEARSE YOUR SEGMENT BACKSTAGE and if required, IN THE ARENA BEFORE DOORS — if for whatever reason you can’t rehearse in the arena then COMMUNICATE THIS ASAP (BEFORE your segment airs)

– CHECK THE LATEST DRAFTS for the LATEST CHANGES

– EXECUTE VKM (VINCE MCMAHON) NOTES/DIRECTION — if you find any notes do not “work” during in-arena rehearsals or while producing the segment backstage, then COMMUNICATE THIS ASAP (BEFORE your segment airs)

– TIME THE PROMO (TALENT SHOULD NOT ADLIB)

– PROPS, PRODUCERS, TRUCK — EVERYONE needs to be on the SAME PAGE

HEADSET/GORILLA CUES:

– TELL KD (KEVIN DUNN), VKM AND KIDMAN IF YOU THINK YOUR SEGMENT IS GOING TO RUN HEAVY (BEFORE the segment starts)

– SPEAK CLEARLY so KD // VKM can HEAR YOU

– STAY AHEAD OF CUES (REPEAT YOURSELF IF NECESSARY): MIC PLACEMENT // MUSIC CUES // ORDER OF ENTRANCES, etc….

– NOTE any SPECIAL CAMERA SHOTS or specific BLOCKING

– GIVE the LAST LINE and MUSIC TO HIT ON THE OUT

– WHO GOES OVER IN THE MATCH (if applicable)

AFTERMATH:

– RUN INS

– MUSIC NEEDED

– REPLAYS

– PROMO / INTERVIEW
