RAW begins with Vickie Guerrero announcing John Cena vs. Alberto Del Rio tonight in a Champions vs. Champions Match.

The Money In The Bank All-Stars: 

 Daniel Bryan walks out with a new shirt!

Daniel Bryan says last week, the question that was on everyone’s mind was finally answered: Is Daniel Bryan the Weak Link? Bryan says the question was answered after making Randy Orton tap last week: “NO! NO! NO!” Bryan brings up a new question: Can Daniel Bryan ride the wave of momentum and win the WWE All-Stars Money In The Bank and win a WWE Championship Contract. Bryan ponders a 3 letter word to answer that question then starts chanting “YES!” with the WWE Universe. Daniel Bryan tells the WWE Universe that he wants to be WWE Champion and follow in the footsteps of the greats like Bruno Sammartino, Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, The Rock then adds his name to the list.

Daniel Bryan reminds us that 2 years ago, he won the Money In The Bank and successfully cashed in to became World Heavyweight Champion, but thinks it’s been far too long since he’s been Champion. Bryan says just because this MITB is filled with All Stars, doesn’t mean he can’t repeat himself. Bryan says he will be WWE Champion until #ScumbagSheamus interrupts.

#ScumbagSheamus comes out and reminds Daniel Bryan, despite Bryan’s wishes, that he beat him for the World Heavyweight Championship in 18 Seconds.

#ScumbagSheamus says he’s not going to say he’s going to win in the Money In The Bank All-Stars Match in 18 Seconds, but it’s been far too long since he’s been a Champion and he’s going to win. Bryan asks #ScumbagSheamus that if he called 1-800-Fella, would #ScumbagSheamus be able to Brogue Kick himself in the face. #ScumbagSheamus commends Bryan on having a sense of humor then calls him a troll until calls Randy Orton interrupts.

Randy Orton reminds us that he hasn’t been a champion for almost two years. Orton says he’s not hungry, he’s starving and and that a starving man takes what he needs. Orton says he needs the WWE Title. Orton says once he wins the WWE Championship, he will not hesitate to cash it in.

Daniel Bryan tells Randy Orton that he knows he wants to be WWE Champion, but he also knows that last week, he made Randy Orton tap out. After a “You Tapped Out” chant, Orton tells Bryan that if he disrespects him one more time, he will drop him where he stands. Orton admits to being desparate, but that means in 2 weeks at Money In The Bank, no one is safe. Orton is interrupted by Kane’s fire.

Kane agrees with Randy Orton that no one is safe, especially Orton. Kane says no one in the history in the WWE has been more ruthless than him, especially when the WWE Championship is involved. Kane says he has no problems committing unspeakable acts against his opponents, even his so called friends.

Daniel Bryan calls Kane out on looking at him weird then tells Kane that unlike Bryan, he couldn’t beat Randy Orton on Smackdown. Kane says he can’t wait for the MITB All Stars Ladder Match because it’s every man for himself. No partners, No Friends, Only Victims. Daniel Bryan and Kane start arguing until Christian comes out.

Christian says he hates to break up the “lovers quarrel” but he wants to remind everyone that he has more experience and success than anyone in the WWE when it comes to Ladder Matches. Christian says he’s been gone for a while, but when he came back, he was looking for One More Match and that match will be for the WWE Championship.

Christian says his unofficial catchphrase (It’s Like This), then says he might not be the biggest guy, strongest, scariest or hairiest guy in this match, but he is without of doubt the best.

CM Punk comes out and says he made a promise to himself to not come out here and do what everyone else and brag about winning the Money In The Bank. Punk tells Christian that he respects the hell out of him, but not only is Punk the Best In The World, he’s the best at the Money In The Bank because he’s the only person who’s won it twice. And in two weeks, he’s going to be the only person who can say he won it three times.

CM Punk says he doesn’t care if anyone misunderstands him, but no one can touch him in this ring. Punk knows how formidable the competition is then turns his attention to Rob Van Dam. Punk tells RVD (off camera) that he knows his game plan and that RVD will do whatever it takes to win that briefcase. Punk starts to talk about how tough #ScumbagSheamus is, then gets cut off by Daniel Bryan. Bryan tells Punk that he doesn’t want to hear another word from Punk and if he says one more word, he’s going to make Punk tap out faster than Randy Orton did last week.

Randy Orton almost attacks Daniel Bryan but Kane gets in front of Bryan.

Daniel Bryan tells Kane that there’s no need for Kane to protect him, which allows Randy Orton to hit the RKO on Kane.

After a multi-man staredown, Christian leaves the ring first, followed by CM Punk, Sheamus then Randy Orton as Daniel Bryan stands over Kane.
