Start out with an outline of what you want to do. Episodes of WWE Raw are based on two hours with commercial breaks, so you will want to factor everything into this.
Label the top of the script with the name of the show and the episode number. For example: WWE Raw #664. You can also put another title underneath so that you do not have to constantly refer to the script as #664: “Manic Monster Monday."
Add the date and the location of the event. If you do not know those yet then simply type “TBA” (To Be Announced).
Picture a wrestling broadcast and think of everything that you will want to incorporate. If there is an opening video, pyro, or any graphics that will be used to promote a match later in the night.
Type out any of the events on separate lines and in bold. Start out with the amount of time that it will take, followed by what is actually on screen. Example: (:45) Opening/ Pyro/ Fan Reaction; (:15) GRAPHIC: The Undertaker vs. Kane- CASKET MATCH- TONIGHT!
Put all capital letters on anything that you want to put emphasis on. This will help the announcers and wrestlers who read the script.
Start writing the separate segments. Label each segment with a bold underlined title. Put the writer and how long the segment will take underneath this section title.
Use bullet points to begin writing your segment. Start off with any entrances that might occur or if a performer begins in the middle of the ring.
Type out normal lettering for any dialogue that may be used. Example: (Bullet Point) John Cena promo(In Bold): The Champ is Here! Tonight, I will challenge Triple H to a ladder match!! You Can’t See Me!!! (In Regular writing).
Continue this process until the first segment is completed.
Write out matches with certain things that you will want to happen before and after the match, but the rest of the match is planned by wrestling agents and trainers. Next to each match segment, give the announcers a set of story notes that they can go over and use for commentary.
End your script with the main event and a good point to leave off at for viewers. It should be climactic enough to draw an end to the show and also leave the viewer in suspense of the next battle or exhibition.
