A video highlighting the results of the Royal Rumble plays highlighting Cena’s Rumble win and Punk’s victory over the Rock after the lights went off.

PYRO and RAW opening package

-Cult of Personality-

WWE Champion CM Punk followed by Paul Heyman come out to start the show. Punk grabs a microphone and tells his version of the WWE Championship match against the Rock last night. Both Heyman and Punk agree that the Rock brought his A game last night but it wasn’t enough to end Punk’s current WWE Title reign. Punk beat the Rock pure and simple, so Heyman asks the audience to stop pestering the WWE Champion about his victory over Rock.

-Realeza-

World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio heads on down with his personal ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez. Getting his own microphone, Del Rio questions CM Punk about the lights going off during Punk’s match last night with Rock. Heyman jumps in and notifies the crowd that Punk had no clue why the lights went off or what happened while the lights were out. Del Rio cuts off Heyman demanding Punk to answer. Punk agrees with Heyman that he doesn’t know anything about last night with the lights going out, then Del Rio demands to know if Punk intends to give the Rock a rematch due to what happened last night? The crowd erupts at the chance of a rematch but Punk and Heyman dismiss the idea immediately and demand to know why Del Rio is getting involved in their business. Before the World Heavyweight Champion can answer…

-No Chance-

Vince McMahon comes on down strutting already with a microphone in hand. McMahon tells Punk and Heyman that the WWE owner requested Del Rio to come out so Vince McMahon could talk to both the WWE Champion and World Heavyweight Champion together. Before going much further, McMahon informs Punk that the owner was tempted to go out last night during to strip Punk of the title, but didn’t have the evidence to prove anything. If anything ever happens like that thought again during one of Punk’s matches, Vince McMahon will strip Punk of the WWE Championship…proof or no proof the Shield was involved.

Continuing on, Vince McMahon decided that next week’s RAW needs a gigantic main event to build to Wrestlemania 29 and no other match would be bigger than one between the two World Champions of the WWE. Del Rio smiles looking forward to the match, but Heyman demands to know what is in it for Punk to endanger himself so close to Wrestlemania 29. Vince McMahon responds by saying that the winner will not have to defend their title at the next pay-per-view and the loser will defend his title in an Elimination Chamber match! A big prize that only makes Del Rio and Punk lick their chops excited to know that a win next win brings them that much closer to walking in World Champion at Wrestlemania 29.

In order to build up to the huge main event next week, Vince McMahon continues by arranging the main event tonight with a six-man tag team match featuring Punk and Del Rio against each other. Both champions have until the main event to arrange a three person team to compete tonight. McMahon then sends both champions off to the back to arrange their teams. The WWE owner continues by saying tonight there will be Elimination Chamber qualifying matches all week on RAW and Smackdown featuring former WWE and World Champions facing off in singles competition, which will start right now!

-Voices-

Randy Orton makes his way down for an Elimination Chamber qualifying match up next!

Mark Henry makes his return to the WWE tonight with a chance to enter the Elimination Chamber.

Match One:
Qualifier Match for the Elimination Chamber
Randy Orton vs. Mark Henry

Henry fights hard and dominates the match early on with his superior strength. Eventually Orton gets the comeback hitting Henry with clotheslines, cross bodies, and Back Crackers. Henry tries to fight back and accidentally strikes the referee. Orton hits a RKO followed by the cover but there is no referee to make the call. Suddenly the Shield come out from the audience and attacks ‘The Viper.’ After a beatdown, the Shield follow up with a Triple Powerbomb on Orton and leave. Henry rolls and covers Orton as the referee comes to. 1…2…3!

Winner: Mark Henry (12:42)

Henry rolls out of the ring holding his arms in victory making a successful return, though with help. Orton sits up fuming through his nose as the Shield appear on the titantron. Rollins predicts Orton is curious to why he was attacked. Ambrose jumps in stating that the Shield attacked Orton because ‘The Viper’ represents a dead legacy that only exists only to steal the spotlight from those who deserve it. Reigns adds in that unless Orton changes his way, ‘The Apex Predator’ should expect more attention from the Shield. Orton continues fuming as we go to commercial.

Commercial
RAW Tonight:
Main Event Six Man Tag Team Match: Team Punk vs. Team Del Rio
Chamber Qualifying Match: Dolph Ziggler vs. The Miz
Tamina and Aksana vs. Kaitlyn and Layla

Backstage Randy Orton is hunting down the Shield demanding to know their location. Pushing stage hands over, Orton finally finds someone that says the Shield is in the parking lot. Orton runs to the parking lot to see a car screeching past him and driving off. Refusing to let them get away, Orton jumps in his car and follows after the car.As Orton's car drives off, the Shield can be seen standing off in the corner hidden.

In the divas locker room the Divas Champion Kaitlyn and Layla are chatting about Kaitlyn’s title reign so far then change topic to the RAW Interim General Manager Vickie Guerrero. Kaitlyn and Laya start to make fun of Vickie but soon they find the RAW GM behind them. With anger in her eyes, Vickie Guerrero sternly reminds the ladies that they have a tag match right now. Looking embarrassed and ashamed, Kaitlyn and Layla leave while Guerrero tries not to scream.

-Tropical Storm-

Tamina and her partner Aksana come on out for the Divas tag match. Once they are in the ring, Vickie Guerrero comes out as well still angry and joins up with JBL, King, and Cole at the announce table.

-Higher-

The Divas Champion Kaitlyn and Layla come on down for their match deciding to ignore what happened backstage and instead focus on the tag match now.

Match Two:
Tamina and Aksana vs. Divas Champion Kaitlyn and Layla

Being given more time than usual, the divas take their chance to show off their ability. Tamina’s experience, Layla’s agility, and Kaitlyn’s strength are all featured. With a distraction from Guerrero to Layla and Kaitlyn, Tamina manages to catch and hit Kaitlyn with the Samoan Drop followed by the pin. 1…2…3!

Winners: Tamina and Aksana (7:34)

Just as Tamina and Aksana celebrate while Kaitlyn and Layal deal with the loss, Vickie grabs a microphone and calls out “EXCUSE ME, EXCUSE ME!!!”

Vickie congratulates Tamina and Aksana and shames the losers. Continuing on, Vickie Guerrero questions Kaitlyn’s worth as a champion after losing to Tamina. The RAW GM even considers if Kaitlyn should be stripped of the title as of right now. Perhaps Vickie should put the title around Tamina’s waist! Tamina shakes her head yes as Kaitlyn and Layla argue with the idea.

-No Chance-

Making his second appearance, Vince McMahon comes out to his patented strut with a microphone in hand. Before anything, McMahon dismisses the divas minus Vickie Guerrero. Once the divas are gone, the WWE owner confronts Vickie Guerrero on her job as the RAW Interim General Manager. Reflecting back on her current role and past roles as GM, McMahon truly questions if Guerrero can manage an entire show by herself. Before Vickie can argue, Vince calms her by telling her she won’t be fired but rather placed into a new role. As of right now, Vince McMahon makes Vickie Guerrero the first-ever Divas General Manager. It will be Vickie Guerrero’s job to manage the Divas roster for both RAW and Smackdown…and this is Vickie’s last chance and if she messes up “You’re FIRED!!!!” Vince then asks what Vickie was about to do with the Divas Championship before he came out. Vickie shakes and panics a bit before stating she was about to make a #1 Contenders Match for the Divas Title between Layla and Tamina. Mr. McMahon agrees with the idea and asks when the match will happen which Vickie states it will be on Smackdown. Excited by the idea, Vince again agrees with Vickie’s idea and then dismisses her to the back.

On to another matter, due to what happened with the Shield earlier and assuming the Shield will get involved again, Vince McMahon has banned the group from this Friday Night Smackdown. If the Shield appears this Friday Night, they will be suspended until further notice. Also, due to what happened last night, Randy Orton will have a rematch against Mark Henry next week with Henry’s spot in the chamber on the line. If Henry loses, Orton will take the spot in the chamber match. Without further ado, let’s allow the action to continue as McMahon calls out for the next match to begin!

-SOS-

Kofi Kingston comes down on and sends his pyro off. Shaking hands with McMahon, Kingston enters the ring waiting for the next match.

Showing off both man’s athleticism, Kingston and Rhodes have a fair fight where both men look equal to the other. It’s not too long until the high flying action breaks out. Rhodes hits a cross body on Kingston but Kingston rolls through it and catches Cody in a pin. 1…2….3!

Winner: Kofi Kingston (7:48)

Damien Sandow jumps into the ring and attacks Kofi Kingston. Rhodes joins in the attack. After setting up for a Double Suplex, R-Truth jumps into the ring making the save for his old tag partner. Together Truth and Kingston send Rhodes Scholars off.

Backstage after watching the last match, the former tag champions Team Hell No members Daniel Bryan and Kane look unsure what to think. Bryan comments how they lost last night and Kane murmurs to himself. Kane suggests they cash in their rematch clause next week against Rhodes Scholars, but Bryan questions it since Both they both have Elimination Chamber Qualifying matches on Smackdown, so maybe they should focus on that. Kane questions if Bryan is committed to the team and to become champions again. Bryan denies by asking for a hug as his proof. Kane and Bryan hug it out as Alberto Del Rio walks in behind them. Del Rio questions how close Team Hell No is. Bryan pushes Kane away feeling ashamed. Bryan demands to know what Del Rio wants. Del Rio is looking for partners for the main event 6-Man Tag Match and wants Hell No to join him. Bryan starts to sound uninterested in the idea until Kane volunteers them both for it. With a handshake between Del Rio and Kane, the World Champion walks off. Bryan looks frustrated at Kane and Kane simply responds with, “What?”

Heading to ringside, Zack Ryder gets ready for a match but gets distracted when he passes by Rosa Mendes. Zack Ryder is in action next!

-Here to Show the World-

Mr. Money in the Bank Dolph Ziggler with AJ Lee and Big E Langston come on out to answer Jericho`s call. With a microphone already in hand, Ziggler refuses the challenge because once Ziggler beats his opponent in the upcoming match, Ziggler will be in the Elimination Chamber Match.

-I Came to Pay-

The Miz comes on down with his own microphone and reminds Ziggler that he has to get through the Miz first!

When Ziggler was close to tapping out, Langston manages to pull Ziggler to the ropes while AJ distracts the referee. After helping Ziggler, Langston gets nailed with a Code Breaker! AJ continues distracting the referee so Ziggler low blows the Miz. Jericho then sneaks in behind Ziggler and low blows ‘The Show Off.’ Both Miz and Ziggler fall over with their legs crossed as the referee sends AJ to the back. Both Ziggler and Miz get to their feet. Ziggler looks and yells at Jericho on the outside, The Miz sneaks up on Ziggler and hits the Skull Crushing Finale! Miz goes for the cover and 1…2…3!

-My Time Is Now-

The 2013 Royal Rumble Winner John Cena heads on down and takes up a microphone. Cena talks about his big win last night. Announcing he hasn’t decided who to challenge yet at Wrestlemania 29, but what Cena wants to talk about is CM Punk’s so called victory last night over the Rock. Cena questions Vince McMahon’s decision to not strip Punk of the title but instead reward Punk with a chance to not have to defend his title at the upcoming pay-per-view. Since Vince has been around all night, Cena demands the WWE owner make his way out.

-Cult of Personality-

WWE Champion CM Punk comes on out by himself with a microphone in hand. Punk immediately reminds Cena and the WWE Universe that the Rock lost last night and that’s that. CM Punk is tired of all the talk backstage and in the audience about Punk putting the Shield up to beating down the Rock and turning the lights off. Once again, Punk states he has nothing to do with the Shield. Punk won, Rock lost, get over it. Cena refuses Punk’s claims and challenges the WWE Champion to accept a match with the Rock at Elimination Chamber with the title on the line. Again, Punk refuses stating he doesn’t have to do anything!

-Electrifying-

The Rock immediately joins in adding more fuel to the fire. The Rock starts by telling CM Punk off and refusing to believe CM Punk had nothing to do with what happened last night. The Rock would challenge Punk’s manhood until a rematch was made, but the Rock knows Punk is too “chicken shit” to ever accept a rematch on his own. That’s when Rock turns to Cena. The Rock deciphers the reason Cena wants Rock to have a rematch with Punk is so Cena can use his Royal Rumble win to challenge Rock at Wrestlemania 29.

John Cena agrees and admits that the loss last year has driven him crazy. That’s when the Rock makes a suggestion. It may not be at Wrestlemania, but the Rock will challenge John Cena at Elimination Chamber! The crowd erupts and Cena agrees immediately, but Rock stops the cheers saying he wasn’t finished. The Rock will face Cena I the winner of Rock-Cena II will earn the right to challenge for the WWE Championship at Wrestlemania 29!

CM Punk jumps in refusing to listen to anymore. Punk is the WWE Champion, so the attention should not be on Cena or Rock, but CM Punk! Cena and Rock share a look…AA to CM Punk followed by a People’s Elbow! Punk rolls out of the ring and slumps to the back. John Cena turns to the Rock and accepts!

Commercial

When we return from commercial Alberto Del Rio and Team Hell No are in the ring. Paul Heyman comes out on the ramp and informs the crowd that due to what just happened with the encounter with Rock and Cena, Punk has decided to sit this match out.

Reigns spears Del Rio and goes for a pin but Bryan breaks it up. Hell No rise back into the match to fend the Shield off of Del Rio. The match turns into chaos as the fight spreads outside the ring. The referee has officially lost control of the match and suddenly the lights go out. A banging of a chair is heard and the lights rise up. Del Rio is laid out flat as the Shield team up against Bryan and Kane outside the ring…and atop the ramp is CM Punk holding a bent steel chair. After a Triple Powerbomb to Kane on the outside floor, Reigns and Ambrose turn their attention to Bryan. Rollins enters the ring and super kicks a kneeling Del Rio. Rollins goes for the cover 1…2….3!

Winners: The Shield (9:13)

CM Punk joins the Shield in the ring shaking their hands as Vince McMahon makes his way out to the ring yet again.

Vault

This was really good. Despite some similarities with real life WWE, I like the way everything was booked. The Cena/Rock/Punk angle is solid, and how I wished WWE had handled it. I'm hoping Cena/Rock fight to a draw at EC and it's a triple threat at WM29 for the Championship. Team Hell No's interactions are always great, loved that. Not a huge fan of the divas division, but making Vickie Guerrero the GM for the Divas division will certainly add a bit of flair to it. I've always loved the Ziggler/Jericho feud, hope that one works its way to a WM rematch, those two could pull it off. In the meantime, I hope to see a Jericho & Miz vs. Ziggler & Big E match. That would be pretty awesome. Vince McMahon's appearances added a nice layer to the show, things seem more important with the chairman around, that's for sure. The Elimination Chamber qualifiers sound like a good idea, hope you find a way to work Henry into it and maybe give Orton a push as well. All in all, everything's looking good, you've got something here man, awesome job!

PYRO and Smackdown opening package

Already in the ring are numerous superstars (none of whom have ever won a WWE or World Title).

-Rap Sheet-

The Smackdown General Manager Booker T comes out to announce that the reason there are 20 Superstars in the ring is because we are about to have a battle royal. In the Elimination Chamber Match there will be five former and current World Champions, but one man will be given the chance of a lifetime: to win their first ever WWE or World Title. After some talking and dealings with the higher ups, Booker T arranged this Battle Royal to kick off Smackdown where the winner will be given that spot in the chamber. Without further ado, Booker T calls for the bell starting the Battle Royal.

Getting back to his feet after taking a Bull Hammer earlier, Kingston jumps Barrett and tries to push him over the ropes. Antonio comes to Barrett’s save but clubbing at Kingston’s back from behind.

18. Eliminated: Wade Barrett by Ryback

Stomping away at Cesaro, Ryback fails to see Barrett causing a scene outside the ring. Throwing chairs around and trying to force his way back into the ring, the referees are too busy dealing with Barrett to notice Ryback easily tossing Antonio Cesaro over the top rope! Ryback starts celebrating but notices none of the referees paying attention. Leaning over the ropes, Ryback calls for a referee to turn around. Just as a referee turns his head around Cesaro is back in the ring and dunks an unknowing Ryback over the top rope! Ryback lands outside the ring!

Ryback bursts through the door and Booker T gets in between Ryback and the European Champions. Ryback threatens Booker T to get out of the way, but the General Manager makes the beast an offer. Due to how the match ended, Booker T offers Ryback a main event match tonight against Antonio Cesaro where the winner will get the spot in the Elimination Chamber!

Backstage Antonio Cesaro is being interviewed about his match against Ryback tonight to earn a place in the chamber tonight. Cesaro argues he already won the Battle Royal and shouldn`t be in this match tonight. He tossed Ryback over the top rope and the beast should learn to deal with it. No matter what, Antonio Cesaro will not just defeat Ryback but the Swiss Superstar will demonstrate why he is the United States Champion and future World Champion.

RAW
February 4th, 2013

-Time To Play The Game-

Instead of the usual pyro and music kicking off the show, it is a rare appearance these days from the WWE COO ‘The Game’ Triple H. Walking down sporting his leather jacket and jeans, Triple does the usual routine of spitting water and roaring out into the crowd. The crowd is wild for Triple H’s random appearance starting off RAW. Grabbing hold of a microphone, Triple H waits for the crowd to calm down. Once the crowd quiets down, ‘The Game’ brings the microphone back to his lips simply stating “Thank you Brock.”

Triple H explains that he thought his career was done, that he had nothing left to prove and no reason to compete. Hunter lost at Summer Slam and had his arm broken. That night Triple H realized maybe, just maybe it’s time was done. Then last week Brock gave Triple H a reason to come back, a reason to wake up in the morning and feel inspired against to strap the work boots on. Last week Hunter spent his time watching an old man is pain with a broken hip and Triple H knew he had to come back and was glad to have a reason to. “Revenge on Brock Lesnar, pure and simple,” Hunter states. Triple H continues on asking, no, demanding Brock Lesnar comes down to the ring right now and settle this like men.

-Meat on the Table-

It’s not Brock Lesnar, nor Paul Heyman…it’s ‘The Beast’ Ryback! Ryback looks more intense than usual. Ryback enters the ring and goes straight to Hunter. The two stand eye to eye without making content. Hunter talks without using the mic demanding to know what Ryback wants. Ryback breathes heavy and then pulls Hunter’s own microphone up. Into Hunter’s microphone Ryback says, “Feed…Me…Brock!”

The crowd erupts as Triple H rebuttals that Ryback is a little late. Hunter admits Ryback should be pissed since it was Brock Lesnar’s attack on Smackdown that led to Antonio Cesaro taking the spot in the Elimination Chamber. As pissed as Ryback should be, it is no where Triple H’s having his arm broken twice and watching his father-in-law in the hospital last week. “So unless you want a piece of me, I suggest Ryback that you head to the back and wait until I’m done with Lesnar,” said Triple H. Again Ryback breathes heavy and states into the microphone, “No…not you…Feed Me Brock!”

Ryback breaks away from Triple H yelling to the crowd “Feed Me Brock!” Ryback keeps going until he gets a chant going. Turning Ryback around forcibly, Triple H threatens ‘The Beast’ to step off or step up. Both men share a stare down until…

-Next Big Thing-

The music of the man that both Ryback and Hunter are challenging hits the speakers. Both look down to the entrance ramp and instead see Paul Heyman entering with a microphone. Heyman does a little Brock Lesnar-like warm up at the of the ramp to mock the two bigger superstars. Holding a microphone to his mouth, Paul Heyman says he isn't surprised to see Hunter and Ryback looking for a shot at his client. Heyman reminds them both that Brock doesn't have to compete in a WWE match unless he agrees to, seeing as he officially left the WWE. So if either Hunter or Ryback want a chance at Brock Lesnar they will have to come out this Friday Night on Smackdown for a Contract signing. “If either of you truly want a shot at my client Brock Lesnar,” Paul Heyman continues “then you will sign a contract this Friday night on Smackdown for a match at Elimination Chamber in two weeks. Now before either of you get excited, it is not a contract to face Brock Lesnar in two weeks, but a contract to decide who will face Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania. The contract you both will sign this Friday is a match to decide who will go on to face Lesnar at the Granddaddy of them all. In two weeks at Elimination Chamber, it will be ‘The Beast’ Ryback verus ‘The Game’ Triple H! Winner gets Brock, the loser gets squat. And yes, if either of you even tries to touch me or my clients CM Punk and Brock Lesnar in the mean time, I will ensure not only slap a lawsuit down on you but the match for Wrestlemania be cancelled. See you boys Friday, but for now I have a WWE champion to prepare.”

-Smoke and Mirrors-

The WWE Tag Team Champions Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow, the Rhodes Scholars, head on down to the ring. Cocky as they usually are, but not for good reason, as they will be facing a team who beat them in singles competition on RAW and Main Event last week.

-SOS-

Coming out to his usual pyro and boom chants, Kofi Kingston tries to keep his usual smile on his face with his partner R-Truth at his side. Last week Kingston and Truth beat Rhodes and Damien in singles competition last night is what set up this match. It was on Smackdown that R-Truth announced that if Kingston and he won this upcoming tag match, they would get tag title shots.

Match One:
-If Kingston and Truth win, they get a future WWE Tag Team Championship match
Kofi Kingston and R-Truth vs. WWE Tag Team Champions Rhodes Scholars

Finish:
Truth irish whips Rhodes into the ropes and on the rebound Truth hits a kick to the gut. Rhodes bends over and Truth goes for the scissors kick! Sandow pulls Rhodes out of the way in time. Sandow tries attack R-Truth but the referee pulls him back to his corner. With the referee and Truth distracted, Rhodes hits Truth with a Reverse DDT! Rhodes goes for the cover and Sandow turns the referee around. 1…2…Kingston breaks the count. The referee pushes Kingston back to his corner, while Sandow and Rhodes hit R-Truth with a Double Russian Leg Sweep. Rhodes goes for another cover when the referee turns back around. 1…2…Kingston breaks up the count again!

The referee once again pushes Kingston to the corner giving him another warning. Rhodes pulls Truth to his feet, but Truth throws a kick to Cody’s stomach. Facebuster from Truth to Rhodes! Sandow tries entering the ring but the referee stops him. Truth crawls and tags in Kingston. Kofi jumps into the ring first knocking Rhodes back down and then Sandow! The referee pushes Kingston back again since he didn’t see the tag. Truth is forced back into the ring while Rhodes tags in Sandow. Calmly and elegantly pulling Truth to his feet, Sandow initiates a suplex! Getting to his feet, Sandow acts cocky and plays up to the crowd. Pulling Truth again to his feet, Sandow initiates a second suplex! Brushing his hands, Damien Sandow then stomps away at Truth’s head and chest. Sandow then locks in a Sleeper Hold on R-Truth. Forcing Truth down to the ground, Sandow keeps the sleeper on. Kingston tries getting the crowd to help cheer R-Truth. Kingston slaps his hands together, clapping and cheering. Truth starts fighting back. Pulling Sandow and himself to their feet, R-Truth starts sending out elbows to Sandow’s gut. Sandow lets go and R-Truth hits Lil’ Jimmy! Sandow and Truth are down while Cody tries to recover and Kingston tries to reach out for a tag. Truth crawls to Kingston. Sandow crawls to Kingston…Both Kingston and Rhodes gets the tag! Kingston fires into the ring like a bullet and takes out Rhodes and Sandow with a Dropkick and a Clothesline respectively. Kingston rebounds off the ropes and hits Rhodes with a Crossbody! Kingston and Rhodes get to their feet…SOS from Kofi to Cody! Kingston backs into a corner and preps for Trouble in Paradise clapping his hands. Boom! Cody is still laid out. Boom! Cody gets to his knees. Boom! Cody gets to his feet. BOOM! Cody turns around. Kingston charges for Trouble in Paradise! It HITS! Kingston goes for the pinfall! 1…2…Cody gets pulled out of the ring…by the Shield?!?!?!

Rollins and Ambrose hold off any resistance as Reigns holds Cody Rhodes. The referee looks on as Reigns slaps the taste out of Cody Rhodes’ mouth! The referee calls for the bell!

The Winner: Rhodes Scholars via DQ (8:12)

The Shield leaves Rhodes Scholars alone but turn their attention to Kingston and Truth. After a brief beat down, the Shield gets to a microphone. Rollins announces the reason they attacked was because a crime was being committed. Ambrose demands to know why two single superstars can get tag team title shots so easily. Reigns points out there are plenty of tag teams who deserve tag title shots, more than Kingston and Truth anyways. For that is why the Shield attacked today, to protect the tag titles from undeserving men. The Shield turns and tries to pull Kingston to his feet. The Shield set up for a Triple Powerbomb as the final nail in the coffin…

-Voices-

It`s Randy Orton! Orton`s out for revenge for the Shield`s attack last week on RAW! Orton comes running down to the ring with a steel chair in hand. The Shield bail long before Orton can take a swing. Running through the crowd, the Shield look back as Orton stands with the steel chair still in hand as Kingston and Truth try to recover.

[color="Red"]Backstage in the General Manager’s office Dolph Ziggler, AJ, and Big E Langston walks in and find Chris Jericho standing there. Before any fighting can happen though, Booker T steps in. Ziggler demands to know why the Smackdown General Manager is here, and Booker T points out that until otherwise stated he will be in charge of RAW and Smackdown. With Guerrero in charge of the Divas only now and Vince McMahon hurt, Booker T was the only man available. Again, this prompts a question from Ziggler to Booker T, “What do you want and why is HE (Jericho) here.” Booker laughs and says that since Jericho and Ziggler have a match at Elimination Chamber, why not kick things off with Pick Your Poison matches tonight and on Main Event. Tonight, Ziggler will choose Jericho’s opponent. On Main Event, Jericho will choose Ziggler’s opponent. Jericho and Ziggler smile at the opportunity to stick it to their foe weeks before their match. Without hesitation, Dolph Ziggler chooses Big E Langston to face Chris Jericho tonight. Jericho laughs saying, “I beat Big Show last week, what can Langy here do to me?” Dolph snaps his fingers and Langston, with ease, throws the GM desk over across the room1 All Dolph says is, “Now imagine that being you later tonight.” With that Ziggler, AJ, and Langston leave the office.

-Voices-

As his music continues to play watching for his match still inside the ring, Randy Orton is still holding the steel chair. With everyone else backstage from before, Orton grabs a microphone and reminds the crowd Henry only won last week because of the Shield. This week will be different, because Orton has chased them off. It will be how it should have been one on one. “Not wanting to wait any longer,” Orton continues, “let’s bring out the Mark Henry, the World’s Strongest Smelling Piece of …”

-Sombodies Gonna Get It-

Pumped up from Orton’s insult, Mark Henry comes out roaring and beating his chest. Yelling to Orton “You want some!” Henry enters the ring and stands toe to toe with Orton. The referee takes the steel chair from Orton but Henry grabs it. Again, demonstrating his power, Mark Henry bends the chair. Tossing the bent chair out of the ring, the referee calls for the bell.

Match Two:
Winner gets a Chamber Spot
Randy Orton vs. Mark Henry

Finish
Henry shows off his superior strength but Orton is able to hold the upper hand with speed and agility. Orton charges at Henry, but ‘The Viper’ gets caught with a Side Slam. Henry stands and runs the ropes, then hits a Body Slam! Standing up, Henry picks up Orton as with setting up for the World’s Strongest Slam. Henry lifts Orton up…and ‘The Viper’ slithers behind Henry! Mark Henry turns around and gets hit with a few hard rights by Randy Orton. One punch. Three punches. Five punches. Orton runs and ropes then body crosses Henry! Henry holds his stance and has Orton set up for the World’s Strongest Slam again. Orton throws a few elbows and gets out. DDT from Orton to Henry!

Henry pushes Orton off and hits ‘The Viper’ with a clothesline! Henry runs and goes for another Body Splash. Orton rolls out of the way. Both men get to their feet at the same time and…RKO!

The count reaches eight as Henry rolls back inside the ring. The referee continues to count….9…..Orton begins to stir…..Orton tries to get on all fours….AND falls over….10!

Winner: Mark Henry (14:12)

As Orton tries to recover, Mark Henry stands in the ring to celebrate. Cole, King, and JBL remind us that Henry is going to the Elimination Chamber to compete for either the WWE or World Title, which will decide in our main event tonight. Henry walks up the ramp signaling around his waist that he will be champion again. Orton finally is able to roll into the ring and get to his feet by using the ropes. Henry’s music dies down as Orton is allowed to hear the chants of the audience applauding the effort when suddenly,

-Special Ops-

Randy Orton may have chased them off before the match, but they are back. Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Dean Ambrose…the Shield! Walking down through the crowd, the trio seem content to finish what they started last week when they attacked Orton originally. Before Orton can even fight back, the Shield has surrounded him, and has started the beat down. Reigns and Rollins pull Orton to his feet as Ambrose gets a microphone. Ambrose points out the Shield will have now corrected two wrongs in the WWE in one night: stopping an undeserving duo from getting Tag Titles shots AND will take the spotlight away permanently from a man who doesn’t deserve it…Randy Orton! Ambrose throws a punch at Orton’s skull and changes places with Rollins. Seth Rollins admits he enjoyed watching Orton wrestle years ago, but times are different now; as such Orton needs to die so others can grow and thrive. Rollins throws his own punch and switches places with Reigns. All Reigns has to say is, “Tonight on February 4th will be known as the day Orton died and the Shield rose to new heights…permanently.” With a kick to the gut, the Shield set up for a Triple Powerbomb. Orton gets lifted into the air and…Kingston and Truth are back out! Armed with chairs as well, Kingston and Truth assault the Shield saving Orton in the process. The Shield spread out and run for safety through the crowd. Kingston and Truth help pull Orton to his feet as the Shield look down. Once the Shield is gone, Truth and Kingston help Orton to the back.

Alone backstage with a microphone and a black background is World Champion Alberto Del Rio and his trusted ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez.

Alberto Del Rio: How so much can change, and how so little can change in a year. At last year’s Survivor Series I walked in the WWE Champion! I had wins against John Cena, Rey Mysterio, and even CM Punk. I was on top of the world, but I wasn’t at the end of the night. CM Punk won the WWE Title from me and still walks around with it to this day. I lost my title that night and I lost my way. I went from match to match, just trying to get that spark I had when I was WWE Champion. Then the day came when I beat Big Show for the World Heavyweight Championship. I became World Champion again; I found my spark and triumphed over Big Show again at the Royal Rumble.

Tonight CM Punk, we clash again. Tonight CM Punk, one of us will be guaranteed to walk into Wrestlemania as a Champion. Tonight CM Punk, I will regain my dignity I lost so long ago. It is my destiny to be champion, to beat you, and to honour all the former WWE and World Champions before us by ensuring that the better man wins. When the bell goes at the end of the match, my hand will be held and all you will hear is…

Ricardo Rodriguez: AND YOUR WINNER….ALBERRRRTTTTTOOOOOOOOOOOO DELLLLLL RIIOOOOOO!!!!!

Del Rio and Ricardo shake hands as they walks off.

Commercial
Backstage in the hallways, Kane is walking by himself as Daniel Bryan tries to catch u to him. Bryan demands to know why Kane pushed him away on Smackdown. Kane looks at Bryan and demands to know if they are a team. Bryan answers that they are a team, but Kane still demands proof that they are a team. With the loss tonight, the tag titles are open and Team Hell No still has their rematch clause. Kane demands they cash in the rematch clause next week on RAW! Bryan agrees to doing the match next week, but wants to know if they are still okay. Kane says Bryan will know next week.

Heading to the ring we see Zack Ryder and Divas Champion Kaitlyn. Ryder thanks Kaitlyn to agreeing to be his tag partner in the Mixed Tag Match tonight. Ryder just can’t seem to beat the Colons…mainly due to Rosa Mendes’ dancing. With Kaitlyn as a partner, that shouldn’t be a problem. Kaitlyn agrees, but only if Ryder can avoid drooling. Ryder prompty says he will keep his eyes off of Rosa, but Kaitlyn points out she was referring to herself. Kaitlyn walks off as Ryder pulls his sunglasses down to watch Kaitlyn walk away. “Wooo Wooo Wooo, she’s got what Ryder likes.”

-Enchanted Isle-

Out comes Primo, Epico, and Rosa Mendes to ringside to get ready for the mixed tag team match. Cole reminds everyone that Ryder has two losses to the Colons and both times due to Rosa Mendes’ interference, which sparks King to point out that Rosa’s dancing as an interference is super effective against all men. JBL agrees with the King and so does Ryder, which is why he keeps losing and challenged the Colons and Rosa to a mixed tag team match tonight.

-Oh Radio-

Along with the Divas Champion Kaitlyn, Zack Ryder comes out with his eyes only on the champion. Purposely falling behind Kaitlyn, Ryder only turns his attention away to high five fans. Kaitlyn turns around and points Ryder’s head up to get his head in the game.

Match Three:
Epico Colon and Rosa Mendes w/Primo vs. Zack Ryder and Divas Champion Kaitlyn

Finish:
It seems as though Ryder’s plan of a Mixed Tag Match is working as Ryder keeps his concentration on Epico and Kaitlyn keeps Rosa away from Ryder’s eyes. Kaitlyn picks up Rosa Mendes and hits a Powerbomb! Rosa goes for the pin but Epico pulls her off. Kaitlyn then tags in Ryder, which in turn, brings Epico into the match. Ryder stays strong controlling the match getting a hip toss followed by a drop kick out. Ryder sets up and nails Epico with a Rough Ryder! Ryder goes for a pin but Primo pulls Epico’s foot up on the rope without the referee seeing. Epico pulls himself into a corner looking up which sets Ryder to get ready for a Broski Boot. Before Ryder can charge with the boot though, Kaitlyn gets attacked by the #1 Divas Contender, Tamina! Ryder’s eyes get pulled off of Epico to check on his partner. Ryder pulls Tamina off and goes back into the ring to avoid a count out. Without Kaitlyn to play bodyguard, Ryder’s eye get caught on Rosa Mendes’ salsa dancing. Caught in the magic, Ryder fails to spot Epico setting up behind him. Backstabber! Epico goes for the pin 1…2…3!

Winners: Epico and Rosa Mendes (4:42)

Primo and Rosa help collect Epico as they celebrate their win walking to the back as Ryder rolls over in pain realizing he lost again. Kaitlyn rolls inside the ring to go to Ryder…Kick to the Head by Tamina to Kaitlyn! The Divas Champion is out cold and Tamina bails as Ryder comes to the rescue again. Ryder looks down to ramp pissed about the loss and failing to save Kaitlyn, as a smug looking Tamina heads backstage.

Backstage, Todd Grishman catches up the new Divas GM Vickie Guerrero. Todd asks if Tamina will be punished and Vickie simply points out all is fair in love and war, and this is war. The Divas Title Match will continue this week on Smackdown as scheduled. Also Vickie sets up a Mixed Tag Team Match for Main Event with the Prime Time Players, Alicia Fox, and Aksana against Tons of Funk and the Funkadactyls. Vickie then sarcastically wishes Kaitlyn a speedy recovery for her title defense this week.

In the GM’s office, Booker T is doing some work with Theodore Long when the Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett walks in. Barrett asks why Booker T called the champion to the GM office. Booker T looks over the champion and points that it was announced earlier last week that Barrett would defend his intercontinental title at Main Event this week. Wade Barrett agrees to knowing about the match, but not who he is facing. Booker T looked high and low and believes only one man deserves a shot…The Miz! Though the Miz lost to Antonio Cesaro at the Royal Rumble last week, but Miz came back with a win over Dolph Ziggler but also beat Barrett last week. Wade Barrett is furious over the decision and turns around to find the Miz standing right there. With a big smile on his face, The Miz announces that he is more than happy to win the Intercontinental Title from Barrett this week. Wade Barrett challenges The Miz to try to take the title, which prompts Miz to ask Barrett if he will attend Miz TV on Main Event before their match. Refusing to appear on Miz TV, Wade Barrett`s decision is reversed for him as Booker T orders Barrett to attend Miz TV. Before Barrett can complain, Booker T kicks the champion out of his office. The camera closes up on Miz and Booker T.

Tonight in RAW’s Main Event
WWE Champion CM Punk versus World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio
-Winner doesn’t defend his title until Wrestlemania XXIX
-Loser defends his title in an Elimination Chamber Match

As we come back we have a RAW Recap from last week with the segment involving John Cena, The Rock, and CM Punk.

-My Time Is Now-

On his way down to ringside, it is the 2013 Royal Rumble Winner who will put his opportunity in the line against The Rock at Elimination Chamber, John Cena. Signalling to the crowd and working off of the reaction, JBL points out how stupid Cena is to put his world title opportunity on the line against The Rock. Cena lost last year to Rock and may now lose his Wrestlemania title match as well. Cole argues Cena has something to prove that can only be done by beating Rock. Once in the ring, Cena waits with a microphone for the crowd to quiet down.

John Cena starts by yelling The Rock versus John Cena Two! The Sequel! Just like some of The Rock’s movies, bad sequels are bound to happen, just look at Tooth Fairy 2; a bad sequel of a bad movie. That will not be the case with Rock/Cena II, because they will have an amazing sequel to go with their original match. John Cena versus The Rock will be like Godfather 2, better than the first, because it will be Cena who wins this time!

Cutting to the chase now, Cena admits he does not feel like an idiot. After winning the Rumble for a Wrestlemania title opportunity, John Cena will put it all on the line against The Rock. In everyone’s mind at ringside, backstage, and in the WWE Universe, John Cena has everything to lose and the Rock has everything to gain.“WRONG!” Cena argues. Wrong, because Cena has a chance to win back the worst year of his life, losses after losses and embarrassments after embarrassments. The Rock has a chance to earn a Wrestlemania title match while John Cena has a chance at redemption in TWO WEEKS! The Rock is set to appear at Smackdown this week, so John Cena will be there as well.

-Show Off-

With his entourage of AJ and Big E Langston, Mr. Money in the Bank Dolph Ziggler makes his way to ringside with a microphone to interrupt Cena. Ziggler starts off by agreeing with Cena and the audience, “Cena sucks.” Ziggler points out that it’s just the audience pointing it out tonight, even Cena is, and Ziggler couldn’t be happier. It was Cena that gave Ziggler his big win to end 2012 back at TLC. Before Cena can say anything AJ jumps in by saying they had good times. AJ thinks back to when Cena and her got along, and even goes far enough to say, “Too bad you didn’t enjoy being with your wife like you did with me.” This brings a huge response from the crowd with the first mentioning of Cena being divorced. Cena defends himself stating he is divorced and that he did nothing, and gladly admits, he did nothing with AJ.

Ziggler agrees Cena did nothing with AJ, but ‘The Show Off’ knows he wished he had. Ziggler and AJ share a long passionate kiss as Cena looks on disgusted. Ziggler breaks the lip lock with AJ and turns his attention back to John Cena. “Too bad that after two weeks,” Ziggler continues, “both your big Wrestlemania match will be gone and your life will just continue to suck when you lose to Rock.” Cena can’t take it anymore and gets ready for a fight as Ziggler and Langston stand together.

-Break The Wall Down-

Chris Jericho makes his way down in his ring gear ready to compete and with his own microphone in hand. Big E Langston and AJ exit the ring to keep an eye on Jericho. Calling the music off early so he can talk and walk to the ring, Jericho thanks Ziggler for coming out. With the help of Ziggy himself, Jericho won’t have to look for an opponent for him for Main Event any longer. Without any further wait, Jericho asks if Cena will face Dolph Ziggler at Main Event! With Ziggler shaking his head, Cena accepts without hesitation. Ziggler turns back to Cena and AA! Ziggler rolls out of the ring where Langston and AJ go to check up on him as we get ready for Jericho versus Langston…NEXT!

Before the match started, Ziggler and Cena were sent to the back.

In the interview area is Todd Grisham with WWE Champion CM Punk and Paul Heyman. At this point Punk refuses to speak about his match with Del Rio next, since Punk had decided his win is a fore gone conclusion. Todd then asks Heyman to explain what happened last week with the Shield, Punk, and Lesnar’s attacks. For now, Heyman will not answer any Brock Lesnar questions until Smackdown, but the Extremist will talk about the Shield. It wasn’t until last week that Paul Heyman finally revealed the power he has in WWE. Not only has he assembled five extremely talented men, but also started eliminating the competition to his regime, like Ryback, Randy Orton, The Rock, and Vincent Kennedy McMahon. It wasn't until last week that CM Punk knew the Shield operated under Heyman’s control, which is why Punk returned the favour last week when the Shield faced Del Rio and Team Hell No. Todd asks if the Shield is still in the building, which Heyman refuses to answer … then Booker T enters. The General Manager of RAW and Smackdown not only announces that the Shield are banned from ringside, but if the Shield shows up at all in the main event then CM Punk will be declared the loser and will defend his WWE Title in an Elimination Chamber Match in two weeks. “It’s put up or shut up time Punk! WWE Champion versus World Champion; straight up how it should be,” Booker T leaves and then comes back onto camera to yell in Punk’s face “Sucka!” Booker T leaves while Punk and Heyman mutter to each other sounding rather pissed off.
