Posted on September 25, 2012 by 3mbooth

RAW starts with CM Punk and Paul Heyman in the ring. Paul Heyman is standing with a microphone while CM Punk sits in a chair.

CM Punk and Paul Heyman take the show hostage and say RAW will NOT be presented this evening until justice is served.

Paul Heyman shows the footage of CM Punk losing the match despite his foot being on the rope from last week. Heyman demands Brad Maddox (AKA #Heartthrob Ref) to come down to the ring, apologize to CM Punk, admit he was wrong then resign as a referee.


#HeartthrobRef, doing his best Barack Obama impression admits he made a mistake, and says he was nervous because it was his first main event match. Paul Heyman applauds (figuratively) Heartthrob Ref for admitting his mistake, but still wants him to resign. HTR apologizes but refuses to resign. CM Punk says that HTR should be ashamed because he embarrassed himself and the WWE Champion. CM Punk continues to berade Heartthrob Ref and asks him how he can even be employed.

Paul Heyman and CM Punk continue to berade Heartthrob Ref calling him a replacement ref and a rookie. Heyman tries to offer HTR a sleeping mask. CM Punk mocks HTR for being hired by AJ Lee and says if AJ was good at making decisions, she’d come out and fire hm. Right on cue, AJ Lee skips down to the ring.

AJ Lee sends Heartthrob Ref to the back. Paul Heyman welcomes AJ to the show and assumes she’s going to correct the decision from last week. AJ says the vintage line “when you assume, you kind of make an ass out of you and me.” AJ admits the ref made a mistake but refuses to let CM Punk and Paul Heyman take her show hostage. CM Punk says he’s the WWE Champion and that he is the reason AJ Lee has a job and that he is the reason AJ Lee picks up a check in the mailbox.

CM Punk calls AJ Lee out on disrespecting him, but then says he knows why AJ is so hostile to him. CM Punk brings up Face Punk rejecting AJ Lee’s proposal a couple months ago as the reason why he and AJ have so much tension. CM Punk says if AJ Lee forgets last week happens, he’ll forget AJ dressing up in his t-shirt and the 100 of text messages unfit to air on the USA Network.

CM Punk “apologizes” for embarrassing AJ Lee then tells her to let everyone know how intimate they were behind closed doors. CM Punk says he’s the reason there’s a skip in AJ’s step and tells AJ Lee to tell the WWE Universe that he is the Best In The World.

Paul Heyman stops CM Punk from going further then reminds him about political waters. Heyman takes over for CM Punk and asks for AJ Lee to marry him. Heyman says if AJ marries him, he promises her power behind her wildest belief. Heyman says that he and AJ Lee will trump all the power couples: Bill and Hilary, Brangelina, and even Triple H and Stephanie McMahon.

Paul Heyman says he’ll come up with all the ideas while AJ Lee can take all the idea. Heyman tells AJ to not be offended because he likes them “young, dumb, uninhibited and ambitious.” AJ Lee responds to Heyman’s proposal with a slap to the face, then leaves the ring.

Backstage: Black Ref 2 tells Heartthrob Ref that mistakes happen and that he’s got HTR’s back. AJ Lee walks up and BR2 leaves. HTR thanks AJ Lee for standing up for him, apologizes for his mistakes and promises to never make that mistake again. AJ Lee says she appreciates it and will assure that the mistake will never happen again, because if it does, she will personal see to it that he never in this business again.

AJ Lee says Heartthrob Ref embarrassed her because she put HTR in the main event and he made AJ look like an idiot. HTR apologizes again, but AJ Lee stares off into space.

HTR apologizes again as AJ Lee snaps out of it as tears stream down her cheeks.

Dr. Shelby’s Radical Therapy Pt. 1: 

 Daniel Bryan and Dr. Shelby are in a diner. Shelby says that last week Bryan and Kane were so close to a breakthrough and reminds Bryan that he and Kane are the Tag Team Champions. Daniel Bryan corrects him and says that he is the Tag Team Champions. Dr. Shelby tells Bryan that that is not grammatically correct.

Dr. Shelby proceeds to tell Daniel Bryan about his new roleplaying exercise. Dr. Shelby believes that outside of a competitive environment, Bryan and Kane can co-exist peacefully. Bryan asks Dr. Shelby how he plans on doing this and out comes Kane in an apron and a nametag.

Kane asks for Daniel Bryan’s order. Bryan laughs while Kane thinks this is stupid. Dr. Shelby says it’s not and asks Daniel Bryan what he’d like to eat. Bryan says he’d like a steamed vegetable platter and a tag team partner that’s not a selfish, psycho, 7ft. freak….and a drink.

Dr. Shelby reminds Bryan that the waiter isn’t Kane, but is a friendly waiter named Gerald. Kane Gerald agrees and says they have a new cook today because the old cook was really annoying and always took credit for everything. Kane Gerald says that he took the old cook by his scraggly goat beard, dumped his head into the deep fryer, took his disgusting greasy, scraggly goat beard, chopped it into little pieces then sprinkled it over every meal he served today, grossing out all of the customers. Dr. Shelby assures everyone that Kane is kidding then asks Kane if he’s kidding. Kane says he doesn’t know what Dr. Shelby is talking about because his name is Gerald.
