Raw Results from Newark, NJ:

Raw opened with a video package showing the big storylines of the past few weeks.  They include Ryback seeking revenge on The Shield and John Cena's situation with AJ and Dolph Ziggler.

Dolph Ziggler was introduced to start the show, already in the ring at the top of a ladder with his blue briefcase hanging right above him.  Dolph talked about Cena's failed attempts to win a championship, but then said Vince McMahon is playing Santa Claus by giving Cena a shot at his MITB briefcase.  Dolph told Cena it won't be a "Merry Christmas," because he'll be the coal in his stocking.  Dolph vowed to defeat Cena on Sunday, and then cash in his MITB contract to become greatest World Champion of all time.  That prompted Sheamus to come out to interrupt.

Sheamus said to win the title Dolph is going to have to cash in on him to win the championship, but first he has to defeat Cena and he doesn't believe that will happen.  Sheamus said sometime down the road it'll be Cena vs him for the World Championship.  Big Show's music hit and he arrived out to the ramp to interject, saying Dolph and Sheamus are both delusional.  He said Dolph can try to cash in on him, but he'll knock him right out.  Show and Sheamus reminded each other how they can't have physical contact ahead of their match Sunday.  Sheamus said he can still have physical contact with "someone else" and then tipped the ladder over, causing Dolph to hit the top rope crotch-first and hit the outside.

Mr. McMahon was shown walking backstage.  Lawler said he thinks he's on his way out there.

After break, Vince danced out onto the ramp, then announced Big Show vs. John Cena for later on.  He introduced the managing supervisor of Raw, Vickie Guerrero, asking the crowd to give her props for making the match.  Vince then asked Vickie for another match to be scheduled for Sheamus.  He asked her to give an opponent, but she couldn't come up with one, so he whispered into her ear.  She blurted out "Dolph Ziggler?"  He asked for a third main event match, and Vickie said she had a good idea, "AJ in a handicap match."  The crowd booed, and Vince said "AJ in a match..against, against.." then said "Let's make it monumental, let's make it Vickie Guerrero!"  The crowd went wild as Vince then said "Now let's tell the Truth."  R-Truth's music hit as he came out onto the ramp for the match.

R-Truth defeated Wade Barrett via pinfall.  Kofi Kingston and Antonio Cesaro were on commentary, scouting their upcoming TLC opponents.  Barrett gained control late after kicking Truth in the gut.  From there he tried to lift up Truth for a Gutwrench Powerbomb, but Truth slipped out then ran against the ropes.  He jumped up with a scissors around Barrett's midsection, turning it into a sitting pinfall for the big win.  Post-match, he rolled to the outside and slammed the commentary table, causing Cesaro to stand up and start yelling.  Meanwhile, Kofi got up on the corner and hit a flying crossbody on Barrett to make a statement.  Cesaro and Barrett both glared out at the ramp where Kofi and Truth were celebrating.

Backstage, AJ was excited as she told a WWE staff Mr. McMahon gave her a match against Vickie tonight.  She saw Aksana next, who asked if she's told John yet, and AJ said no, but nearly tackled Kaitlyn.  She said she was going to find John to tell him.  Kaitlyn said he's over in the locker room, so AJ walked over and just barged in.  Cena had no shirt on and was talking to a few other guys who rushed off as AJ hugged Cena.  She was talking fast.  Cena suggested they go somewhere other than the men's locker room and escorted AJ out, then made the "she's acting crazy" face to someone off camera.

Team Rhodes Scholars won a tag team elimination match to enter a #1 contender's match at TLC PPV.  Primo and Epico were eliminated first by pinfall as one of The Uso's hit the Superfly Splash to secure it.  Titus came in with a quick clothesline and did his dog bark before a break.  After commercial, Cole noted they were down to two tems.  During break, Uso's hit another Splash on D-Young to eliminate PTP's.  It came down to Sandow/Rhodes vs. The Uso's.  After some distraction from Sandow, and Cody eluding a move from The Uso's he hit Cross Rhodes for the pinfall win, to win the tag team elimination match.  They'll be in a tables match against Mysterio/Sin Cara at TLC on Sunday.

Eve Torres defeated Alicia Fox via pinfall in a non-title match.  Alicia was dominating the match and tried to pin Eve multiple times with no success.  Late in the match, Eve yanked Alicia off the corner causing her to fall to the mat, then followed up with her swinging neckbreaker for the win.  Post-match, Eve posed with her championship belt, having a photographer come into the ring to take pics of her with the belt and Alicia laying on the mat.

CM Punk came out on crutches with Paul Heyman.  He said this injury is real life, not an attempt to duck Ryback in another WWE title match.  Punk talked about how this happens when you defend the title as much as he has over the length of time he's held it.  He spoke about defeating Ryback twice, and saying his next match will be another defense, against The Rock at the Royal Rumble.  They talked about how Punk doesn't have a stunt double, and Rock isn't there to even talk about the match because he's busy with a movie.  Punk said Rock only gets one shot at him with the Rumble.

Sheamus defeated Dolph Ziggler due to disqualification.  Late in the match, Sheamus blocked Dolph's sleeper attempt, but was unable to hit White Noise.  Sheamus went for a Cloverleaf submission, with Ziggler able to get to the ropes.  After more fighting, Sheamus hit his Irish Curse backbreaker for a near fall.  He prepared for a Brogue Kick with Ziggler escaping the ring.  Sheamus went to the outside, but Ziggler hit him with a chair, causing the DQ.  Post-match, Ziggler got in the ring to smash the chair on Sheamus.  He goes for another attempt, but Sheamus hits the Brogue Kick sending the chair towards Ziggler's face.  Ziggler falls to the outside and heads up the ramp.

Raw Preview 12/3/12

On last week's Raw, Ryback had most of his demands met, as he was granted a WWE Championship rematch against CM Punk at the TLC Pay-Per-View.  However, he did not get The Shield as he demanded at the start of the show.  Instead, he had to show up during the final match of the night, as CM Punk had defeated Kane, thanks to The Shield's appearance.  Ryback went on the attack against the trio, only to be beat down once again.  A spear from Reigns was followed by a triple power bomb to leave Ryback down on the mat.  With that, CM Punk stood tall, but the question remains, is Punk connected to The Shield, or are they two separate entities?  Will Ryback get some measure of revenge against them on tonight's show?  Will The Shield even show up?

Also on last week's show, another TLC match was set up as the AJ and John Cena scandal situation continued to boil over thanks to Vickie Guerrero.  This time around, Cena came out to address the WWE Universe, only to be interrupted by Vickie, who gave examples of all of AJ's crazy romantic situations of the past.  AJ came out to address those, claiming she'd learned from the mistakes and moved on, saying she's no longer GM and can have a relationship with whoever she wants on the roster.  Dolph Ziggler came out to add his two cents, claiming that Cena got "riled up" because he knew when AJ was kissing him, she was really thinking of Dolph.  Before a fight could happen, Vickie declared that these two would meet to settle things on Raw.  Cena was victorious and shared a victory kiss with AJ, but will these two continue on as a couple?  What will be next for AJ, Cena, Vickie and Dolph?

The WWE Tag Team Champions had their share of losses in singles matches on last week's show.  In one match, Daniel Bryan lost to Rey Mysterio, while Kane lost to CM Punk in the main event.  To follow that, they were both part of the attack by The Shield.  With Ryback rushing in to try to make a save, will Kane, Ryback and Bryan team up on tonight's show for some tag team action?  Will The Shield finally make their in-ring debut?

Check out tonight's episode of WWE Raw starting at 8PM EST on USA!

New WWE Champion for Early 2012?

The new year 2012 could start off with a bang for Dolph Ziggler, as he's officially booked in a WWE Championship match.  It'll be Dolph Ziggler vs. CM Punk for the hardware, with many speculating that Punk will be dropping the belt.

Punk has held the belt since defeating Alberto Del Rio in a singles match, using the Anaconda Vice.  He successfully defended at TLC this past month after surviving all sorts of tricks and attacks from The Miz, Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez.

However, the word has been that WWE Raw ratings, particularly for main events, has been suffering lately.  Those events have featured CM Punk, and WWE creative may have decided to switch the belt off him.  With that said, the belt would move to Ziggler, who would become a transitional champion.

That would mean that the guy who would take out Ziggler and get the WWE Championship is everyone's love-hate poster child: John Cena.  Of course, right now Cena is part of a battle with Kane, it would seem.  If Cena should win the title from Ziggler, that would position him to be the champion heading to Wrestlemania 28, when he will have his epic battle with The Rock.

So once again, the WWE Universe may see Dolph Ziggler holding a major title, but not for long.  This seems to cause an interesting grouping of events though, with Kane lurking, CM Punk as a former champion, and John Cena possibly gaining the belt back.  That's not to mention the fact that Alberto Del Rio will be healing from a groin injury and looking to make a comeback.

Wrestling fans, feel free to weigh in on this one:  Who will be holding the WWE Championship after the next episode of Raw: Punk or Ziggler?  Also, who will be the WWE Champion heading into Wrestlemania 28?

Sheamus defeated Jinder Mahal by pinfall.  In less than 2 minutes Sheamus hit the Irish Curse backbreaker and then the Celtic Cross for the pinfall victory.

John Cena came out to the ring to discuss the latest happenings, including being attacked by Kane.  He said if it was an accident on Kane's part, they can go separate ways, but if it wasn't he needs to come out and handle business.  Instead, Mark Henry came out to tell Cena to get out of his ring because he's lucky he didn't put him in the Hall of Pain last week.  He said he needs to talk about his injuries and how he lost the title last night.  Suddenly, Kane's pyro hit to bring out the Big Red Monster.

Kane came down to the ring as Henry escaped.  Kane stalked the ring area looking at Henry who said he wasn't scared of him, but he's hurt.  Kane stared Cena down after taking off his welder's mask.  He got in the ring, and Cena unloaded with righ hand shots before clotheslining Kane out of the ring.  Kane landed on his feet and grabbed Cena's foot to yank him out of the ring.

From there, Kane tossed Cena across the announce table, and started punching away on him.  He choked Cena a bit and acted like he was going to rip his face off.  Cena was bleeding from his mouth.  Kane tore up Cena's "Rise Above Hate" shirt and took it.  Cena recovered at the table area as Kane went up the ramp and left for backstage.

Epico and Primo defeated the Usos by pinfall.  Late in the match, Jey got a hot tag before it turned into a brawl.  Epico managed to hit a surprise Backstabber on Jey for the pinfall win.

Cody Rhodes defeated Santino Marella by pinfall.  Rhodes hit the Alabama Slam after avoiding the Cobra by Santino.

Josh Matthews talked to Big Show backstage about winning the title last night and then barely having it, as Daniel Bryan cashed in MITB on him.  Show said he should blame himself for encouraging Bryan to cash in on Henry all those times instead of waiting for WM28.  He gave credit to Bryan for living his dream.  Matthews noted that Big Show has the shortest World title reign in history now.  Show stared at Matthews and seemed sad over it all, before saying "OK" and walking off.


In the main event, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan & Zack Ryder defeated the team of Alberto Del Rio, Dolph Ziggler & The Miz by Submission.  Late in the match, the action broke down with Daniel Bryan fighting Del Rio as the legal men.  Del Rio looked ready for his cross armbreaker, but instead Bryan got the Lebell Lock.  Del Rio ultimately tapped out to lose the match.

Post-match, the faces celebrated with their titles, posing for the crowd, as Michael Cole complained about "the power shift" in the WWE.

Raw Preview 12/19/11

With TLC PPV now official and Christmas around the corner, tonight's Raw will feature some interesting developments.  First of all, there's a brand new United States Champion.  During last night's TLC results, Zack Ryder finally was able to catch his first singles championship by defeating Dolph Ziggler.  It was a hardfought match for Long Island Iced-Z.  Now one would expect that Ziggler will be looking for a quick rematch.  Will he get one on tonight's episode of Raw?

Also, last night saw CM Punk manage to withstand all sorts of tricks by The Miz and Alberto Del Rio, en route to retaining his WWE Championship in a TLC match.  With that in mind, all three men will be feeling the effects of the big championship match.  Will John Laurinaitis book any or all of them in matches?  What's next for CM Punk as the WWE Champion?

The TLC Pay-Per-View also saw Triple H able to defeat his former friend Kevin Nash, by using the vicious sledgehammer.  Nash seemed to beg for mercy towards the end of the match, trying to use the Clique sign to his old pal, but Triple H wasn't having it.  With a big Pedigree, and a sledgehammer shot, Triple H got revenge and the win.  Will this mean HHH is back for good on Raw, or will he return to his duties as the COO?

Also, what's next for John Cena and the return of the masked Kane?

Punk was able to fight off Del Rio at the top of a ladder, sending him down to the mat.  Miz had been knocked off but yanked Miz down.  However, Punk gained the upperhand down in the ring and delivered GTS.  From there, it was all Punk with both his opponents down.  He climbed the ladder and unhooked the championship belt to retain his title!

Punk celebrated on top of the ladder hoisting his championship belt up.



Winner: CM Punk wins the Triple Threat TLC match to remain WWE Champion.
