Monday Night Raw

- Tonight's WWE RAW opens up with WWE Champion CM Punk and Paul
Heyman in the ring. Punk is sitting in a chair while Heyman takes the
mic. Heyman says this show is coming to a halt right now. Heyman says
RAW won't happen this evening until justice is served. Heyman shows us
footage from last week where the referee made a bad count on Punk with
his feet on the ropes.

Heyman says calls it a grand injustice on
Punk's title reign. Heyman calls out the referee from last week and
refers to him by his name Brad Maddox. Heyman wants the man to tender
his resignation live on RAW. Maddox makes his way out.

Jim Ross
and Michael Cole are on commentary. Maddox speaks and admits he made a
mistake. He says it was his first main event match and he was nervous.
He says he should have checked the ropes and he feels terrible. Heyman
applauds him for admitting his mistakes. Heyman wants him to resign. The
crowd chants no. Maddox apologizes again but says that's not
appropriate. Punk interrupts him and he's upset. Punk says Maddox should
be ashamed. Punk says Maddox also embarrassed him on his own show. Punk
asks him who he is and how did he get his job. Punk asks how Maddox
pretends to be a man. Maddox says WWE needed more referees when RAW went
to three hours. Heyman interrupts him and runs him down. Heyman hands
him a sleep mask with the WWE and NFL logos on it. Punk brings up AJ Lee
and out comes the RAW General Manager.

AJ thanks Maddox and sends
him to the back. Heyman assumes she's out here to reverse the decision
from last week. AJ says Heyman makes an ass out of himself and her when
he assumes. AJ says the referee made a mistake but she's not going to
let them come out here, berate an official and hold her show hostage. AJ
asks Heyman who the hell he thinks he is. Punk says he's the WWE
Champion and the crowd boos. Punk says he's the reason AJ has a job.
He's the reason the fans are here. Punk brings up his past with AJ and
shows some footage of her proposing 2 months ago. Punk says that's why
there's so much tension and that's why she sent the referee to screw
him. Punk says if she forgets the match happened then he will forget her
showing up to RAW wearing his t-shirt and he will forget the hundreds
of text messages she would send him. Punk asks if he's embarrassing her.
Punk tells AJ to let everyone know how intimate they were behind closed
doors. Punk says he is the reason there's a skip in her step. Punk
wants AJ to tell everyone he's the best in the world. Heyman and Punk
have their own little conversation. Heyman says he's got this.

The
crowd chants for Punk now. Heyman takes the mic and drops to one knee
in front of AJ. He asks her to marry him. Heyman promises her wildest
fantasies of power will be realized. Heyman tells her to think of all
the power couples they will trump. Punk smiles as Heyman goes on. Heyman
says they will be the most influential couple in WWE history. Heyman
says he can come up with all the ideas while AJ takes credit for his
brilliance. Heyman says he likes them young, dumb, uninhibited and
ambitious. Heyman smiles and holds his arms out, still on one knee. AJ
smacks him to the mat and walks out of the ring, straight to the back.
Punk helps Heyman up as JR calls him a slimeball.

promises he won't make the same mistake again. AJ assures him it won't
because if it does, she will personally see to it that he never works in
this business again. AJ says he embarrassed him when she put him in the
main event and he made her look like an idiot. AJ looks crazy as she
says this. Maddox apologizes some more and walks off. AJ snaps out of it

emergence of CM Punk. Foley says Punk inspired change but a year later
what kind of change has he brought. Foley says the Punk he knew taught
people to stand up for themselves and was a voice for the voiceless.

not to come out here and grandstand to the fans. Punk tells him to say
it to his face if he has something to say. Punk says respect and honesty
would be appreciated. Punk tells Foley to admit why he's really here,
because he's selling a new kids book. Foley says that's not why he's
here. Foley says he congratulated Punk via text message last year when

text from Punk. Foley says he's deeply disturbed by Punk's recent
actions and his alignment with Paul Heyman. Punk stops and tells the
crowd to show him some respect, calling them jerks. The crowd boos and
apparently Punk is yelling at a particular fan. He tells the guy to come
over so he can shove the mic down his throat. Punk is angry. He tells
Foley he doesn't know what he's talking about. Foley says he used to be a
Paul Heyman guy but he didn't become anyone in this business until he
stopped listening to Heyman.

Foley says it seems like Heyman has
been in Punk's ear a lot longer than a month. Foley brings up Heyman's
reputation as a liar but says he never saw that side of him. Foley
wonders why Punk, one of the best talkers ever, needs a mouthpiece.

another kool-aid drinker. Punk asks if we're done yet. Foley brings up
Hell in a Cell next. Foley talks about the match he had with Undertaker
years ago. Foley says he earned respect that night. Punk says Foley just

Cell with John Cena. Punk asks if that's what the fans want and they
cheer. Punk brings up Bret Hart and John Cena's recent speeches. Punk
says he is nothing like Foley or Bret. Punk says Foley is beneath him.
Punk says all he's ever done is tell the truth. He doesn't know how many
times he has to beat Cena to prove he's the best in the world. Punk
says he does know that he doesn't have to prove anything to the fans
because they turned on him. Punk says Foley hurt himself for the fans.
Punk won't do that because he just wants to bring the fans to their
knees. Punk say he can do that with a microphone. Punk brags about how
many days he's held the WWE Title. Foley says he held the title for 29
days the three time he had the belt. Foley says years later, nobody
cares. Foley goes on and he's fired up. He says he talked to AJ earlier
tonight and she's let him come out and extend this opportunity. Foley
says Cena should be ready to go by Hell in a Cell and he's here tonight.
Foley says AJ is letting Punk make the decision himself but he will
have to make it tonight in Cena's face. Foley tells Punk to make the
decision for himself, for Foley and for the fans. Foley tells Punk to
have a nice day and leaves the ring as his music plays.

Sounds like a pretty great Raw... Too bad I was stuck at work and couldn't watch it... I like the chemistry that Punk and Heyman seem to have. I'm glad Heyman isn't being wasted soley on Brock Lesner...
