o standard Raw intro this week.
Raw starts with an announcement that The Three Stooges are the guest stars
tonight, and CM Punk will defend his WWE Championship against Mark Henry.
Pyro goes off.
The General Manager of Raw and Smackdown John Laurinaitis comes out along with
David Otunga. He has new theme music and tron shown last week on Smackdown.
Laurinaitis says he would like to introduce the new face of the WWE. This man is
not about catchphrases. This man is not here to entertain you. This man is a
dominate, ruthless, legitimate athlete who will carry the WWE banner for years
to come. A champion of champions! Let's take a look at the impact this man made.
A video is shown of the final minutes of last week's Raw when Brock Lesnar made
his return and delivered a F5 to Cena.
Back to Laurinaitis.
Please welcome the new face of the WWE, the man who will face John Cena at
Extreme Rules and bring legitimacy back to the WWE, Brock Lesnar.
Lesnar comes out. He heads into the ring. Cole makes mention of Lesnar's UFC
career.
Lesnar shakes Laurinaitis' hand and is given the microphone.
Lesnar says that he'd like to thank Mr. John Laurinaitis for having the wisdom
to bring legitimacy back to the WWE.
John Cena comes out and smirks as he makes his way into the ring.
As he enters the ring and goes up to Lesnar, the camera catches him saying that
he never got the chance to thank Lesnar for last week. He then slaps Lesnar in
the face. Lesnar immediately tackles Cena down and lands a punch to the face. As
they fight it out, referees and officials run into the ring and try to pull the
two apart. Soon all the WWE Superstars head into the ring and they all try to
separate Cena and Lesnar. They get separated momentarily before Lesnar breaks
free and goes after Cena. The entire locker room is separating the two, and we
catch an image of Cena with a busted lip. The two remain separate until Cena
breaks free and goes after Lesnar. Everyone starts pulling them off each other
once more. It looks like things are calming down when Lesnar suddenly scrambles
for Cena yet again. Finally Cena is held down and Lesnar is pulled out of the
ring. Cena can be seen smiling while Brock walks away from the ring with a smile
of his own.
-Commercial Break-
Back from break, and we get a replay of Lesnar and Cena brawling and being
separated by pretty much everyone on Raw.
Backstage in Mr. Laurinaitis' office, the GM yells at Teddy Long.
It's his fault that Cena got out there. Did he not tell him to contain John Cena?
Yes or no?
Teddy says he did.
Did he contain him? Obviously not. He needs to go to John Cena right now and he
wants an explanation for what happened from Cena. Now get out of here!
Laurinaitis turns to Otunga.
Can he believe that? He cannot believe it. This is not the way you start things
off.
Someone taps Laurinaitis on the shoulder. He turns around and it's Eve.
Eve says they haven't had a chance to talk since WrestleMania.
He says it's a little hectic for him right now, so let's make an appointment and
do a one on one up in Stanford. Okay?
Eve says he has her number. Why doesn't he call her?
Eve leaves and Laurinaitis goes back to talking with Otunga.
Back at ringside, Brodus Clay and United States Champion Santino Marella come
out and head to the ring together for a tag team match.

Back in John Laurinaitis' office, Miz is telling John how much he believes in
him.
Laurinaitis says that he knows he owes him for WrestleMania. He has big plans
for him, but tonight's a bit crazy. Let's talk next week.
Miz says no problem and leaves. Teddy Long shows up.
Laurinaitis yells at Teddy and asks him where he's been. He's been waiting a
half hour. He gives him a job and a direction and he doesn't follow it. Where's
John Cena?
Teddy apologizes, but Cena shows up seconds later and pats Laurinaitis on the
shoulder.
What is it he wanted? Legitimacy. That's what he's looking for. He thinks he's
some sort of actor who doesn't want to get hit to ruin his money maker. You've
got the wrong guy. That guy just left. When he says he loves this, it's because
he loves to hit and be hit, but what did he do? He had to go out and get a
wrecking machine. A giant who can't be stopped. He had to get Brock Lesnar to
face him at Extreme Rules because he wants to put him out of business? Jack,
he's just getting warmed up! He'll handle his business at Extreme Rules. You
know what, boss? Normally when he sees blood he gets all scared. Would probably
give him the night off, right? He wants to compete tonight. He can pick his
opponent. Any time. Any place. How's that for legit?
Cena walks away.
Laurinaitis commands Teddy to tell David Otunga that he's facing Cena tonight.
Teddy goes to leave, but Laurinaitis stops him.
Look at him when he's talking! Tell David that he'll be out there with him. Go
tell him!
Teddy leaves and Laurinaitis texts on his phone.
Meanwhile, backstage, Santino Marella walks down the hallway and asks Tyler Rex
and Curt Hawkins if they've seen The Three Stooges. They don't know and they
don't care. Santino waves them off and asks backstage crew if they've seen them.
He can't wait to see them because he's a very big fan.

A clip is shown of last week on Raw when Jericho smashed a whiskey bottle over
Punk's head.
Up next, Punk defends the WWE Championship against Mark Henry.
-Commercial Break-
We're back, and another clip is shown of last week when Jericho poured the
whiskey over Punk and smashed the bottle over his head.
Punk comes out and heads into the ring with the WWE Championship. He grabs the
microphone from Justin Roberts.
He says he wants to come out and break the silence that's been surrounding him
the past week. He understands that straight edge isn't a concept that everybody
gets. He's heard it his entire life. He's heard "it's just one drink, Punk" or
"it's just one cigarette, what's the big deal?" and he understands that. He sees
that point of view, but straight edge is a personal choice. It wasn't a choice
he made to fit in or be cool because for half his life it made him exactly the
opposite. It wasn't a choice he ever made to be trendy. It's a choice he made
because it's exactly that; it is a way of life. He comes out here time and time
again and tells them how proud he is to be straight edge, but the reasons he is
straight edge is something he always held close to the vest. He kept it private
for a couple reasons. For one, it's nobody else's business. Number two, who
cares why he's straight edge? He never wanted anybody to feel sorry for him, and
he never wanted to make excuses for himself. He told himself a long time ago he
would make it to the top of the WWE. And he told himself if he made it to the
top it's because he's the best damn wrestler in the world.
Then along comes Chris Jericho. He comes back and gets in Punk's head by saying
HE'S the best wrestler in the world. When that doesn't work, he decides to
destroy the privacy he fought his entire life to keep. He tells the world his
father is an alcoholic. He makes up lies about his sweet little sister saying
she has a drug abuse problem. He defrocks his mother and says that he's a
bastard. And at WrestleMania when his plan didn't work, when STILL none of the
things he used to get under his skin got under his skin, he beat him. No, at
WrestleMania he made Chris Jericho tap out! Chris Jericho takes it one step
further. Jericho takes it one step beyond. One step too far. Last week, right
out here, he pours whiskey all over his body and he smashes a bottle over the
back of his head. And as he lays there, in and out of consciousness, struggling
to regain some semblance of where he was, he wasn't thinking how bad he was hurt
or if he was able to go on this international tour in two weeks. One thought was
in his head. That thought was...he smelled exactly like his father did.
Punk pauses and leans against the ropes.
That smell that would punch him in the face every time his dad got home from
work. Or every time he picked him up from little league, or-
Jericho then appears on the TitanTron.
Hey Punk! Punk! That's quite the story he's telling, but what's the matter with
him? He looks a little green around the gills. Is he still hung over? Is that
what's going on here? He knows it's hard to get that first taste of alcohol out
of his mouth, but he's sure he'll get used to it. He's very sure. And maybe he's
a little shocked how easy it was to unleash the demon alcohol gene that's
running through his veins. The one he inherited from his dear old daddy. He also
looks a bit shaky. Is he tipsy? Still? Is the WWE Universe witnessing CM Punk in
the middle of his first bender?
Punk says no Chris, it's not any of those things. What they're witnessing is
him-
What does he mean it's not any of those things? Please. He's simply in denial.
What he has to learn is that the first of twelve steps of an alcoholic's
recovery is admitting that he's powerless to alcohol. That it's taking control
of his life, that his life is unmanageable. That's what's going on. He sees it.
It's what all these wannabes see right now. They don't see a World Champion.
They don't see the best in the world. They see a pathetic, living, breathing
loser. Punk, face the facts. When he broke his lifelong vow of sobriety on Raw,
he didn't just force him to have his first taste of alcohol. He forced him to
understand what it feels like, for the very first time, to be CM Drunk.
Punk says nothing at first. He then looks at his championship, and back at
Jericho.
He says the only thing Jericho broke last week was a bottle. He can't break him!
He can bring up all these memories and emotions, yeah they come flooding back,
but guess what his failure is? Not realizing that he just made the biggest
mistake of his life. This dark place he sent him to? He's going to use it, and
he's going to channel it, and he's going to ball up his fists, and every single
bad memory he has and every single crummy emotion that courses through his veins
will be used against him. And he's coming after him from this dark place! This
is no longer about him being the best in the world. This is about him kicking
his ass!
Mark Henry comes out. He heads into the ring as Punk's opponent.
-Commercial Break-

and goes over to the announce table. Henry heads out after him and Punk nails
Henry in the stomach with a television monitor. He the slams the monitor against
Henry's head and gets disqualified.
[Winner via Disqualification: Mark Henry]
Punk grabs the monitor and climbs up to the apron. He looks ready to drop the
monitor on Henry again but Jericho suddenly appears on top of the ramp holding
two cases of beer. Punk looks over at him and the distraction last long enough
for Henry to grab Punk and pull him off the apron. He slams Punk's back into the
apron before tossing him back in the ring. He heads inside, grabs Punk and drops
the World's Strongest Slam on him. Henry lifts Punk up and hits a second World's
Strongest Slam. Jericho simply watches from ringside. Henry yells at Punk and
exits the ring while Jericho steps in. Jericho takes out a can of beer and pops
the top. He goes to pour it, but Punk fights back with a kick and tackles him
down. Jericho shoves him back. Punk goes right after him and Jericho nails the
Codebreaker. Jericho takes his jacket off and drops to a knee. He grabs another
can of beer, pops it open and pours the alcohol onto Punk.
You see what happens? Drink it in!
He continues to pour beer after beer over Punk.
It's all for him! Drink it in, you stupid idiot! He wants another drink? This
one's for his father!
He pours an entire case of beer over Punk before referee head into the ring and
try to keep Jericho off of him. Punk starts moving again, and he uses the ropes
to get to his feet while Jericho flings beer at him. He turns around and Jericho
hits a second Codebreaker. Jericho exits the ring, grabs the WWE Championship
and holds it up with a big smile on his face before tossing the title into the
ring. Punk is left out cold.

like Hogan.

Laurinaitis, next week, no disqualification, no count out. Know what that means?
That means he's looking at the next World Heavyweight Champion.
-Commercial Break-
We're back, and another clip is shown of the Cena/Lesnar brawl.
Backstage, Josh Matthews is now standing with Brock Lesnar.
He asks Brock if he's proud to be back in WWE?
Proud? He's proud of everything he does. Here's a little story. Eight years ago
he left this company. He was WWE Champion. Took the company to new heights. Then
he went to the UFC and became the UFC Heavyweight Champion of the world. Their
success was on my blood, sweat, and tears. Proud? Damn right he's proud. He's
proud that Johnny Laurinaitis had the wisdom to bring Lesnar back to the WWE and
put him at the top exactly where he belong. A guy like John Cena? He thinks he's
at the top. He could never hold his jockstrap in a million years, and he just
proved that. He knocked his pretty little mouth on his pretty little face. He's
not here to make any friends. He's a war machine. An ass kicker. And a proud one
at that. But he's not as proud as the WWE suits and ties and all these fans are
to have him back.
Lesnar leaves.
A video package is shown of WWE Superstars giving their thoughts and reactions
