Video Recap of Jerry "The
King" Lawler v. The Miz from last Monday Night
Lawler and CM Punk are at the commentary booth. Michael Cole appears at the top
of the entrance ramp and says that with great remorse he would like to try and
explain his actions from last week. He says that he doesn't know why he did what
he did, but he won't apologize for the way he feels about The Miz. He says that
he is the only one who has supported Miz since he came into the company.
Watching him win, was like watching his own son win. So, from now inside the
ring, he says that he regrets his actions from last week. Lawler is not cool
with anything going on right now. He says that he thinks he might need to get
into the ring and finish what he started last week. Cole says that the way
Lawler responded makes him realize that Lawler is just responsible as he was for
what happened last week. Cole says that as broadcast journalists, they are
supposed to break the news, not make the news. Last week, Lawler just had to be
in the spotlight just one last time. Cole says that Lawler stole The Miz's
moment from him. The more Cole thinks about it, the less he thinks he owes
Lawler an apology, and the more Lawler owes him one.
*GeneralMail Alert
CM Punk reads the email as Cole is in the ring. and I quote... I am ordering a
cease and desist on any physicality between Lawler and Cole, any violation of
this will result in termination. What I would like right now, is for Jerry to
get into the ring and shake hands with Michael.
Cole puts down his mic and holds out his hand. It takes Lawler awhile, but he
finally makes his way into the ring. Ultimately, after much hesitation, Lawler
shakes Cole's hand. As Cole goes to walk away, Lawler doesn't release the grip.
Jerry says that there may be no physicality allowed, but there is someone in the
back who has something to say to him.
Orton's music hits and he makes his way down to the ring. He tells Cole that he
would like to send a message to his favorite Superstar, the Miz. Orton doesn't
blame him for cashing in the case, because if the roles were reversed, he would
have done the exact same thing. With disgust on his face, Orton admits that he
and The Miz are a lot alike. Orton says that regardless of his injured knee, he
is going to take back the WWE Championship from the Miz... tonight!
The Miz's music hits and he makes his way out to the entrance ramp with Alex
Riley who for some reason is still holding the Money in the Bank Briefcase. Miz
says that Orton sounds like everybody else who underestimates him. He notes that
they were both in the same money in the bank ladder match, but the difference is
that The Miz actually won. Miz says that there is no chance that Orton will win
back the Title tonight, because the GM informed him that he won't be defending
against Orton until the TLC PPV.
Orton says that the only problem with that plan, is that this time Miz won't
have seven guys to run down to the ring to help him. Riley says that Orton
thinks he is clever, so tonight he is challenging him to a match! Orton accepts.
The Miz says that the GM has also given him the choice of what kind of match
they will have at the PPV. Orton says that there is still one thing he can do,
injured knee or not... Lawler pushes Cole forward, and Orton gives Cole an RKO!

Video recap of John Cena on RAW last week
Punk says that they have questions for Wade Barret who is live via satellite
from his hotel room. Instead, it is David Otunga in the hotel room. He says that
Wade is on his way to the arena. Wade says that he won't explain what they are
going to do to Cena, despite Mathews asking, because that would give away their
plan. A knock is heard at the door. Otunga ends the interview saying that his
food is here. The bell boy comes in with his food. Otunga tries it, but says it
is cold and kicks the guy out saying he won't pay. There is another knock at the
door. Thinking it is the guy trying to get the bill signed, Otunga opens it.
John Cena appears, and punches Otunga in the face. Husky Harris tries to make
the save, but also ends up laid out after the brawl ends.

identified made the save with a power slam in the ring.

they are. Otunga runs into the room asking if anybody saw what just happened. He
tells Wade that Husky is hurt and his plan didn't work. Wade says it wasn't the
plan, but the execution. Wade says that he will be going out into the audience
and explaining the John Cena situation. Otunga says that he better say
everything right, or there might be a mutiny. Wade scoffs and walks out of the
room.

if they make fun of him, because he will be the greatest High King in history!

Sheamus tells him the bottom-line is that he is the king, and Morrison is not.
So, from here on out, he should refer to him as King. Sheamus tells Morrison to
get down on his hands and knees and bow to his king. Morrison says that no, he
isn't going to do that. He says that this business has few guarantees, but he
has one. John Morrison will never bow down to King Sheamus. Sheamus pushes him

Wade is in the ring to address the John Cena situation. He tells him that there
is no point in attacking members of Nexus, because it is only him that can get
him rehired. That being said, he'd like to call Cena out to the ring right now.
Cena appears from the crowd, and makes his way into the ring. Nexus comes out
onto the entrance ramp.
Wade warns Cena that if he so much as threatens him, he'll have him thrown out
of the building. The crowd cheers for Cena. Wade says it doesn't matter about
the cheers, because he'll never rehire Cena. Cena says that Wade is just dumb.
It doesn't matter if he gets rehired. He just wants to make every day a living
hell for the Nexus. Wade asks what assurances Cena could make if he did rehire
him. Cena says that there are so many things he could do in the WWE. If Wade
doesn't rehire him, then all he will do is continue to make their lives hell.
He says that if he does rehire him, then the attacks on Nexus would stop, but
the attacks on Wade will continue. But either way, he will make Wade's life a
nightmare. Wade says that sounded like a threat and calls Nexus down to the
ring. Cena takes his shirt off. Nexus refuse to come down to the ring. Wade
