Backstage, Dolph, AJ and Big all barged into Vickie's office, where Doph started gloating.  He said he might take #27 or #30 since they've produced the most Rumble winners.  Vickie told him he doesn't get to choose any #, but from the numbers she gives him: #1 or #2.  She walked off smiling as Ziggler got upset.

Vince McMahon walked up on Heyman and Punk backstage.  He said they're both clever.  Punk denied involved with Shield, with Heyman backing him up, pointing out they've attacked a number of different wrestlers, which doesn't link them to Punk.  Vince said if there's any involvement of Shield in Punk's Rumble match with Rock, he'll strip Punk of the title.

Alberto Del Rio defeated Tensai by pinfall in a non-title match.  Late in this one, Del Rio hit a headscissors on Tensai to fling him across the ring.  He hit a belly-to-back suplex, then a running enziguiri in the corner.  Del Rio hit a moonsault to finish off Tensai for the win.  Del Rio, then gave a demo of what will happen to Show Last Man Standing style, as he started a ten count in Spanish.  Ricardo then did a "Si! Si! Si!" chant with the crowd.

In the final segment of the night, John Cena came out to cut a promo, talking about how Sundays are for most people.  He pointed out people in the crowd speculating what their Sunday is like, then went on to say this Sunday will be different with the Royal Rumble.  He vowed to win the event.

That brought out different wrestlers, each of whom talked about how they were going to win it.  Sheamus, Prime Time Players and Miz first, then Kane and Daniel Bryan.  Antonio Cesaro came out with something to say, then 3MB.  Eventually more wrestlers started to come out from backstage and all got into a brawl in the ring.  Curt Hawkins, Alex Riley and JTG all made appearances.  Great Khali came out and got into the fight, as did Michael McGillicutty.  As the show was ending, Ryback was shown as part of the pre-Rumble fight as well.

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!
