So That Happened: 06/17/13

Posted on June 19, 2013 by 3mbooth

RAW begins with RicRod who is being booed!

RicRod introduces the new World Heavyweight Champion, Alberto Del Rio!

Alberto Del Rio asks the WWE Universe about their weekends then mentions the movie Man Of Steel. Del Rio thinks that instead of focusing on a Man Of Steel, the WWE Universe should focus on a man of gold, like himself. In honor of this, RicRod paraphrases the Superman Catchphrase to introduce the new World Heavyweight Champion.


Alberto Del Rio brings up the controversy surrounding the way he won the World Heavyweight Championship from Dolph Ziggler at Payback, then reminds everyone about the way Dolph Ziggler won the World Heavyweight Title from him in April. Del Rio reminds everyone about how hurt he was and the fact that everyone cheered Dolph Ziggler, a coward, instead of him.

Alberto Del Rio says he should’ve been offended, but he’s not because he heard the reaction. Del Rio says he gave the WWE Universe everything, but they never showed him the respect he deserved. Del Rio reminds us of his feud with Jack Swagger, who disrespected the Mexican Culture, but instead of people supporting Del Rio, they chanted “U-S-A!”

Alberto Del Rio calls out the WWE Universe for cheering a pig (Jack Swagger) and a coward (Dolph Ziggler) instead of him, then says that’s what America is all about: Pigs and Cowards. Del Rio says he fought for the WWE Universe for the past 5 Months and it didn’t get him anything. Last night, he fought for Alberto Del Rio and became the new World Heavyweight Champion. Del Rio says he’s going to be the better man in this situation and give the WWE Universe a second chance. Del Rio demands that the WWE Universe give him the respect he deserves.

After the crowd boos Alberto Del Rio, Del Rio continues to speak until CM Punk’s music hits!

CM Punk greets Alberto Del Rio and RicRod then says been a while. Punk reminds Del Rio about Punk beating him for the WWE Championship two years ago then tells Del Rio that the reason he’s out here is not because of Del Rio’s issue with these people. The reason Punk is out here is because he heard Del Rio say he was the best. Punk tells Alberto Del Rio that there’s only one Best In The World and Del Rio is looking at him. Punk tries to challenge Alberto Del Rio but Paul Heyman interrupts.

Paul Heyman tries to get CM Punk out of the proposed match, but Punk cuts him off and asks him what he’s going. Heyman tries to reason with Punk not to take this match because he’s banged up and the title won’t be on the line, but Punk doesn’t care. Punk says he’s glad Del Rio thinks he’s the best, but last night he proved that he’s the Best In The World and wants to do it again tonight. Alberto Del Rio tells CM Punk that he doesn’t want to do this, but Punk doesn’t listen. Punk throws down the challenge again.  Alberto Del Rio tries to warn CM Punk again, but they’re both interrupted by Vickie Guerrero. Vickie Guerrero tells Del Rio that he doesn’t make decisions around here then makes the Main Event for tonight: Alberto Del Rio vs. CM Punk!

Backstage: Paul Heyman apologizes to CM Punk for jumping the gun, but Punk cuts him off. Punk tells Heyman that he’s not Brock Lesnar or Curtis Axel and doesn’t need Heyman’s help to win matches. Punk reminds Heyman that he is not his client and tells Heyman that from here on out, he doesn’t want Heyman out with him at ringside. Punk tells Heyman that he will always be a Paul Heyman guy then walks off.

Match 01: Wade Barrett vs. Curtis Axel

Vickie Guerrero interrupts and tells Barrett that his rematch with Curtis Axel will have to wait because Barrett will have to face Vickie’s big surprise instead. Vickie’s surprise is….

Triple H agrees then asks her what she would have done if CM Punk didn’t go out and confront Alberto Del Rio. Vickie changes the subject to Christian, but Triple H asks Vickie why it took so long to bring Christian back since Christian was cleared over a month ago.

Triple H brings up the return of Rob Van Dam, which Team Brickie tries to take credit for, but Triple H says neither one of them spoke to RVD on the phone. Triple H brings up The Shield’s dominance then tells Vickie that if they get out of hand, she needs to take control and make an example out of them, no matter how strong she needs to be. Vickie says he can count on her and Triple H tells her awesome job, then mocks her for putting 3MB in the show tonight.

Backstage: Daniel Bryan is getting ready when Kane walks up and asks if they can talk. Bryan says he’s a little busy and if Kane is here to say I told you so, Bryan doesn’t wanna hear it. Kane says he’s not here to say that, but Bryan doesn’t believe him and thinks Kane is glad that Team RK-NO didn’t win the Tag Team Championship because it proves to Kane that Bryan is still the weak link. Bryan says he’s going to prove Kane wrong tonight when he beats Randy Orton. Kane reminds Bryan that he’s not the only one that lost last night and thinks they should give Team Hell No another shot.

Daniel Bryan screams “NO!” Bryan tells Kane that he’s never going to be able to prove himself if he’s part of any team and that the only team that matters to him right now is “Team Daniel Bryan: Team DB.” Kane responds by telling Bryan that he’s acting like a “DB.”

Daniel Bryan tells Kane the only he’s going to be able to prove himself is if he does it by himself and that he needs to win the WWE Championship. Kane says he was thinking the same thing and also wants to win the WWE Championship. Kane asks if Team Hell No is done and Bryan says he doesn’t know. Kane doesn’t know either then wishes Bryan good luck tonight. Bryan asks Kane if he’s saying good luck because Bryan’s the weak link, but Kane just shakes his head and walks away.

AJ says she’s always been the champion, but now she has proof. AJ tells the WWE Universe that she made Kaitlyn tap out at Payback, and although she crushed Kaitlyn’s spirit, AJ is the hero of this of this story.

AJ says she is a woman who knows how to get exactly what she wants and that is an example to women everywhere. AJ says there’s not a woman in this audience, locker room or in the whole world that is as strong, brilliant and courageous as she is. AJ says if there is a woman out there that thinks she can compare to her, she dares that person to come out right now. After no one comes out, AJ continues to brag until she’s interrupted by Stephanie McMahon’s music!

AJ greets Stephanie McMahon, calling her “bosslady” and asks if she’s here to congratulate her. Stephanie says that there’s an entire reign of Divas out there, but she wants to say her piece first. Stephanie commends AJ’s underdog story and congratulates her on her victory.

AJ is glad that Stephanie McMahon understands where she’s coming from, but Stephanie asks AJ why she perpetuates the stereotype about women being vicious, conniving, manipulative people who tear each other down instead of building them up. Stephanie tells AJ what she did to Kaitlyn was degrading to women everywhere and that it’s time for AJ Lee to start acting like a Champion. AJ agrees with Stephanie McMahon and says she should be acting more like Stephanie. AJ says instead of dating superstars, maybe she should marry one!

Stephanie McMahon tells AJ Lee if she’s so brilliant, she would’ve expected a more original insult. AJ says she’s original then calls what she did to Kaitlyn her masterpiece, but Stephanie McMahon isn’t impressed. Stephanie tells AJ that she is a McMahon and that nobody does crazy better than them, so if AJ wants to be a Divas Champion, she needs to start acting like one.

AJ Lee says she is The Divas Champion and the only reason that Stephanie out here is because AJ IS Stephanie, only younger. Stephanie covers the mic and tells AJ that she is the Divas Champion, but she can take all that away from her and if she wanted to, AJ wouldn’t have a job anymore.

Stephanie McMahon and AJ Lee have a staredown until Kaitlyn’s music plays and Kaitlyn comes out with the rest of the Divas.

Kaitlyn congratulates AJ for winning, but Stephanie takes the mic and covers it. Stephanie, still audible, tells Kaitlyn that she gets a bye due to everything she’s going through, but warns Kaitlyn and the other Divas to never interrupt her again.

Kaitlyn tells AJ that she won and got inside her head, manipulated her and humiliated her. Kaitlyn tells AJ that she broke her, and now it’s her turn. Kaitlyn charges the ring and spears AJ! Big E. Langston breaks them up and carries AJ off as she screams to Kaitlyn that she’ll never have the Divas Championship.
