So That Happened: 05/06/13

RAW starts off with John Cena.


John Cena says it was a week of unrest and questions so right now he’s going to answer those questions using the playbook of Ancient Chinese Philospher Daniel Bryan: Master Of The Iron Arts. Cena imitates Bryan’s “YES!” and says competing last week was not good for his heel. “NO!” it won’t stop him from defending his WWE Championship against Ryback at Extreme Rules. “YES!” Cena was confused about Ryback’s intentions after Ryback “gazed into his eyes” from the ramp last week. “YES!” Cena thinks Ryback is ready to DTF. “YES!” DTF stands for “Do The Fandango.” ”NO!” That picture of Cena, Betty White and the spatula is photoshopped. And “YES!” Cena does it but only when he’s alone and nobody is watching.

After a series of unfunny jokes, John Cena says that he is not a doctor; he is a WWE Superstar and current WWE Champion. Cena goes on to say as long as he’s WWE Champion, it’s his job to get in the ring and defend his championship. Cena claims he hasn’t been 100% since 2002, but no amount of injury is going to stop him from facing Ryback at Extreme Rules and that Ryback will find out The Champ Is here.

John Cena is interrupted by Vickie Guerrero. Vickie Guerrero tells John Cena she’s excited that John Cena will be able to defend the title against Ryback at Extreme Rules. Vickie says this pay-per-view won’t be ordinary. It will be Extreme. Vickie runs down the confirmed matches then tells Cena that she expects his match to be Extreme. Vickie wants to make a match, but wants the opinions of both to the Champion and Challenger. Vickie introduces Ryback.

Vickie Guerrero allows John Cena to choose his stipulation first since he is the WWE Champion. Cena tells Ryback that he wants to be “fair” to him then suggests a match where the winner runs out of the ring like a girl. Cena suggests a Whine-Off like Ryback then imitates Ryback’s whining and liking the movie “Fried Green Tomatoes.”

John Cena says he doesn’t care what the match is and it could be a “Vickie Guerrero Granny Panties On A Poll Match.” Cena immediately changes his mind and says no man; woman or child should ever have to see that match. All Cena wants is a chance to fight and a chance to shut up the “World’s Largest Complainer.”

Vickie Guerrero tells Ryback that she did not appreciate him walking out last week and that he should be grateful that Cena is graciously allowing him to choose the stipulation. Ryback tells Cena that throwing away the chance to pick his stipulation at Extreme Rules was “Extremely Stupid.” Cena mocks Ryback’s brains, takes a step then says that if he takes another one, it’s going to hurt Ryback a lot more than it hurts him. Ryback refuses to fight Cena tonight saying he’s smart enough to walk away from the fight when the timing is wrong. Ryback points out the irony of Cena’s Achilles’ heel, literally being his Achilles’ heel, then says that Cena’s REAL Achilles’ heel is his pride and his ego.

Ryback says at Extreme Rules everyone will know “Ryback Rules” then chooses a Last Man Standing Match then leaves.
