Posted on July 23, 2013 by 3mbooth

RAW begins with a drumroll, followed by Brad Maddox welcomes us all to Monday Night RAW in Austin, Texas.

Brad Maddox pats himself on the back for his decision last week on RAW, then says tonight there will be an official contract signing between John Cena and Daniel Bryan.


Brad Maddox introduces John Cena.

Brad Maddox asks John Cena why he would choose Daniel Bryan over anyone else on the roster. Cena tells Maddox that he let him choose any WWE Superstar, and he listened to the WWE Universe, so he chose Daniel Bryan. Brad Maddox starts to make accusations that Cena only chose Daniel Bryan because he’s bigger and stronger than him, and that not only does Bryan resemble a troll, but he’s severely unstable.

Daniel Bryan says that he and the WWE Universe disagree with Brad Maddox’s accusations. Maddox tries to ask Bryan why he thinks Cena chose Bryan for his Summerslam Opponent, but Cena cuts Maddox off and explains why he chose Bryan as his opponent. Cena says that the “dumbasses” that run this company are afraid to see God given talent and ability.

John Cena confronts Brad Maddox out on his questions about size and strength. Cena takes off the WWE Championship, throws it in Maddox’s direction and tells him if size is everything, go to the back and give the title to The Great Khali.

John Cena lists Shawn Michaels, Rey Mysterio and Eddie Guerrero as examples of smaller guys who were WWE Champion and prove that ability and passion make a WWE Champion. Not just size and strength.

John Cena tells Daniel Bryan that he chose him for this match because he earned and deserves it. Cena says that being the WWE Champion is about facing the absolute best competition of all times. Cena says he picked Bryan to compete in this match and just because he was given the opportunity, doesn’t mean he’s going to hand Bryan the WWE Championship. Cena signs the contract then tells Daniel Bryan that he is the Best competition in the WWE right now, but at Summerslam, he will prove that even the best isn’t good enough.

Daniel Bryan signs the tries to speak, but Brad Maddox cuts him off and starts hyping the Main Event at Summerslam. Bryan yells “NO!!!” then tells Maddox that he doesn’t get to interrupt him. Bryan says he’s waited his entire career for this opportunity and that he deserves it. Maddox says that although John Cena and a vocal minority of the WWE Universe thinks Bryan deserve it, he’s going to give Maddox the opportunity to prove his critics wrong with a match tonight.

Brad Maddox corrects himself and says that he’s actually putting Daniel Bryan in multiple matches tonight. Maddox asks if he thinks Daniel Bryan will actually prove himself, then starts a “NO!” chant. The crowd responds by chanting “YES!”

CM Punk Speaks:

CM Punk says last week he got his ass kicked by Brock Lesnar. Punk says he realized he was dealing with a genetic freak, but no matter how hard Lesnar threw him and beat him down, he stood up. Punk runs down the lists of injuries he has, but says he’s still standing. Punk says the thing about a Brock Lesnar ambush is that Brock Lesnar can beat him down, but not keep him down.

CM Punk runs down Brock Lesnar’s accolades in the NCAA, WWE and UFC, then brings up Lesnar’s rivalries with Cena, Triple H and The Undertaker. Punk says Brock Lesnar’s biggest weapon is not his technique or fighting skill, it’s fear. Punk says he’s seen some of the toughest men in the locker room of instilled with fear, but he is not afraid of Paul Heyman’s Monster, Brock Lesnar.

CM Punk switches gears to Paul Heyman. Punk says Heyman had a decision to make, but he made the wrong one and he’s going to pay for it every day for the rest of his life. Punk says it doesn’t matter what Heyman or Lesnar thinks, this is Punk’s ring. Punk says he’s proven it against the likes of John Cena, The Undertaker and The Rock, and would’ve done it ot Lesnar if Heyman didn’t stab him in the back. CM Punk says there will not be a third sneak attack. Punk will make Heyman pay.

CM Punk says he’s not going to pretend that Brock Lesnar isn’t a monster, but monsters are made to be slaughtered and he will slaughter Brock Lesnar. CM Punk challenges Brock Lesnar to a match of Summerslam and wants The Best vs. The Beast.

Paul Heyman appears via satellite and talks about the cleverness of “The Best vs. The Beast.” Punk asks Heyman if he’s here or by satellite then says if he’s here, he’s going to go back there, find him, grab him by the fat of his neck and bring him out here.

Paul Heyman mocks CM Punk for playing “hero” to Texans, who are lower than people and animals. Heyman continues to mock Texas then says Brock Lesnar has an interesting theory about heroes: “Show me a hero and I’ll show you a coward that ran out of options, or a fool who is just too stupid to stay down.” Heyman asks CM Punk if he’s a coward or a fool.

CM Punk says he’ll give the answer to Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar at Summerslam. Heyman says that this bothers him, but Punk cuts him off saying what bothers him is that Heyman is doing this via satellite. Punk demands for Heyman to tell him where he is and says he’ll drive, fly or walk over there to kick his ass.

Paul Heyman says that it really bothers him that to this day is that CM Punk doesn’t realize that together, they were WWE Champion for 434 Days. Heyman says that Brock Lesnar is in his peak form as a fighter while CM Punk is all beaten up from the Money In The Bank and the beating from Brock Lesnar. Heyman accepts CM Punk’s challenge against Brock Lesnar, then tells him to stop calling this “The Best vs. The Beast” because The Best IS The Beast. Not only that, he’s the Best In The World and Paul Heyman’s Best Friend: Brock Lesnar.

What Paul Heyman really wanted to say:
