We begin with a look back at Vince McMahons attempt to fire John Laurinaitis only to get a meeting with Big Shows fist. What is in store for the main event participants on Sunday?
AJ Lee makes her way to the ring and she has stars in her eyes. Is she thinking of her new BFF CM Punk, her ex-boyfriend Daniel Bryan, or the center of her universe and owner of AJs tongue Kane?
AJ says that she wanted to say something before the show started. There is a very simple reason for why she kissed Kane on Raw. She says that she did it . . .
We will never know because Vickie Guerrero had to interrupt. She tells AJ that she is not the story tonight. Everyone is not talking about her kissing Kane. They are not going to talk about Big Show punching Mr. McMahon. They are talking about the winner of the Fatal Four Way Match to determine the number one contender for the World Title. They are talking about Dolph Ziggler.
Dolph comes out and he has something to say. Dolph says that two weeks ago after a pointless tag match with Jack Swagger, he told everyone that he is better than this. On Monday night, he did what he does best, he stole the show and he proved it. Dolph says that he is going to become the new World Champion. He says that he is not going to let some 95 pound whacked out, hair brained, disgruntled Hot Topic employee go all non compos mentis and steal his spotlight.
AJ says that she stopped listening half way through what Dolph had to say and she wonders if she is supposed to feel insulted. AJ says that Dolphs bleach has seeped into his brain. She tells Dolph that he is delusional if he thinks he is going to become World Champion. AJ says that also goes for his grandma.
Dolph slaps AJ and Vickie tells AJ that she will not talk to them again. She tells AJ to get out of Dolphs ring or she will throw her out.
AJ starts to stare at Dolph and this might become a Pentagon of Love, but CM Punks music plays and the obsession of Ms. Crazy Chick comes to the ring.
Punk smiles awkwardly at AJ after their eyes meet. Punk says that after all of the screeching, he thinks she said Excuse Me. Punk says that him, AJ, and the WWE Universe do not have to excuse Vickie simply because she says it. Punk says that there is not an excuse in the world to have to listen to her. Punk says that she is a broken record whether it is Raw or Smackdown. She comes out and touts Dolph Ziggler and he doesnt come through. Punk reminds Ziggler that he said it in January and he lost. It will be the same thing on Sunday against Sheamus. It will be the same thing tonight against him and Sheamus.
Punk tells Vickie that if he is the voice of the voiceless, then Vickie is the voice of the pointless.
Dolph tells Punk that he is the voice of the next World Heavyweight . . .
Daniel Bryan makes his way to the ramp as his music plays. Bryan says that this is priceless. Punk is AJs knight in shining armor. She is making out with Kane on Monday and saving her on Friday. Bryan calls CM Punk the Hero.
He says that AJ probably told Punk that she kissed Kane to save Punk from the monster, but AJ has Punk wrapped around her finger without Punk realizing it. The great thing about learning from his mistakes is seeing Kane and Punk make the exact same mistake. That mistake is AJ.
Bryan reminds everyone that AJ cost him the World Title at Wrestlemania. If AJ is in Punks corner, her bad luck will help Daniel Bryan become the new WWE Champion.
Bryan starts to Yes, but Sheamus music plays and we have all four men in the main event in the ring.
Sheamus says hello to Danny Boy and he asks Bryan if he still thinks AJ cost him the title. Sheamus wants to know how many times we have to prove Bryan wrong and then he wonders which side to listen to because Bryan talks out of his arse so much.
Sheamus tells Dolph that he will admit that Dolph had an impressive showing on Monday but that was one night. Dolph says that he will become the new World Champion on Sunday. Sheamus says that all Alberto Del Rios injury has done is give him another time to beat him.
Sheamus wants to know if they are all ready for their match, even if it is scheduled for the main event.
AJ says that she has some old business to take care of and she wants a piece of Vickie Guerrero but Punk and Sheamus keep AJ from going psycho on Vickie.
We go to commercial.

He says that he is sorry and he says that it was a mistake. He says that at Vinces age, he should stay out of the way of the Big Show.
We have a video package from Raw showing what Show did to Vince McMahon.
John says that at Wrestlemania he willingly put up his job and Team Johnny was victorious. At Over the Limit, his job was in jeopardy and he beat John Cena. At No Way Out, his job is on the line, but he put his faith in the man who will defeat John Cena inside a steel cage, the Big Show.
Show makes his way to the ring.
He says that he has no reason to lie whether he punched Vince McMahon intentionally. Show says that he could get fired, but he would be paid millions of dollars to stay home. Even when he was in WCW, he was never given the ability to reach his fullest potential by outshining the faces of the company. People like Hulk Hogan, Sting, and Ric Flair.
When the chance came to be a free agent, he was told by everyone to come to WWE because he could be the biggest star. Show says that he talked to Vince McMahon and Vince told him that he has to be a better business man and let people care about him. He has to know how to put on a show. Your name is now The Big Show.
For fourteen years, he did it Vinces way. Meanwhile, John Cena, CM Punk, Randy Orton, and Sheamus rose to the top while Show was on the sidelines being happy about being a special attraction.
Show says that he smiled and told jokes for ten years. He says that he is proud that he is not John Cena. In this steel cage match, he is going to make up for lost time. He is going to show what he is truly capable of. He will not be burdened by what people think any more.
Unlike what he did to Vince McMahon, what he does to John Cena will be extremely deliberate and calculated. It will be uncomfortable. Show says that he may be a sell out to some but he will make John Cena suffer.
For fourteen years, he has been in the WWE. Show says that he is looking at Sunday as his first match. He says that he will be victorious and he guarantees it.
Michael Cole stops John and he tells John that he has to hear this. Cole says that he has it on good authority that John Cena has left his home in West Newbury, Massachusetts and he will be in the arena tonight.
Show gets back into the ring and he says that if John Cena is coming here tonight, he wont be hard to find. He will be right here.

We are back and John Cena comes to the ring and he has something to say. John says that he is sorry for being late, but he wasnt supposed to be here tonight. Cena says that he was on his way to Hampton Beach and he gets a call from his boy that Big Show called him out.
Cena says that he didnt want to disappoint so here he is. He didnt want the big lug to know he was hiding. Cena tells Big Show that he is the guy in the ring wearing green and jorts. He says that he is not hiding. Cena has been looking for Show and John wonders how you hide a seven foot five hundred pound sell out like Show.
John Laurinaitis music plays and he limps his way to the ring.
Cena wants to know what is going on.
Laurinaitis tells Cena that Big Show is not here any more. Laurinaitis tells Cena that what happened to Vince McMahon was his fault. The match will happen no matter what so Laurinaitis sent Big Show home.
Cena says that is unfortunate because he did not come here to talk. Cena says that either Show was going to knock him out or he was going to knock out Show. Since Laurinaitis sent Show home, that means that Johnny moved up to the number one spot.
Laurinaitis reminds Cena who he is and what he does because we have never heard it before. Laurinaitis says that if Cena lays a hand on him, he would fire Cena.
Cena pulls a rabbit of logic out of a hat and tells Laurinaitis that he needs to listen to what he said because the Board of Directors said that the match would happen no matter what. That means that he is just going to move Laurinaitis nose a little bit.
Laurinaitis reminds Cena that he beat him at Over the Limit and he has no problem embarrassing him again.
Cena says that Laurinaitis is embarrassing. He says that he is embarrassed by the fact that Laurinaitis has a position of power in this company. He says that Laurinaitis biggest asset is being the biggest ass kisser. If Show loses on Sunday, Laurinaitis is fired. If Laurinaitis is gone, that means that Cena cannot fire him.
Laurinaitis tells Cena to think about what he is going to do. If Cena loses at No Way Out, the first thing he will do on Sunday is FIRE JOHN CENA
Cena thinks about it and he must not be concerned about his match on Sunday because he drills Laurinaitis in the head.
Update on What Orton May Have Tested Positive For Posted by Steve Carrier on 06/14/2012 at 07:13 AM
F4Wonline.com reports that Randy Orton tested positive for elevated levels of testosterone, causing him to fail a WWE Wellness test and be suspended for 60 days. Orton was telling people that he took a tainted supplement that contained the testosterone, causing him to fail. Orton reportedly said he didn't do it on purpose but acknowledged that he should have been more careful.
SuperLuchas.net earlier reported that Orton tested positive for Dianabol, an orally-effective anabolic steroid that was commonly used by bodybuilders until Congress banned it under the Controlled Substances Act. Those reports were unconfirmed.
HHH Reportedly Against WWE Utilizing Mick Foley Posted by Steve Carrier on 06/15/2012 at 03:43 PM
Wrestling Observer editor Dave Meltzer was asked by a reader during his radio show why WWE has not utilized Mick Foley on television more frequently since his return to the organization last November. He said this is due to wrestler/executive Paul 'Triple H' Levesque's lobbying, who is resentful of "The Hardcore Legend."
Meltzer reports Levesque deprecates Foley whenever his name is broached in creative meetings. While Brian Gewirtz, WWE's Senior Vice President of Creative Writing, feels Foley is a creative and a good performer, Levesque thinks otherwise. He says Foley 'doesn't look tough' and can't be taken seriously as an in-ring performer.
A former WWE creative writer told Power Slam in 2008 under the condition of anonymity that Levesque would disparage Foley whenever he appeared for the company, and in the process, diminished his value in the eyes of Vince and Stephanie McMahon.
"Foley is an out-of-shape nobody," Levesque was reported as saying by the writer. "No one cares about him at all. Funaki puts more asses in the seats than Foley does. He should pay us for coming on our shows."
Meltzer believes the real reason Levesque still holds Foley in contempt is because he gets irritated over the consensus of his closest co-workers that his memorable matches with Foley in 2000 'made him a star.'
Foley has criticized Levesque in the past; he took several veiled shots at 'H in his 2007 autobiography The Hardcore Diaries. He also took issue online with Levesque belittling ring announcer Lilian Garcia with a remark he felt was hurtful during an April 2010 episode of Raw. Foley acknowledged then that he may have cost himself professionally for speaking out against Levesque, but felt he had to stand by his principles.

Rumors continue to swirl that Randy Orton's continued employment with WWE is in jeopardy following their announcement May 30 that he was being suspended for 60 days for his second violation of the Talent Wellness Program.
A WWE source notes that Vince McMahon is livid with Orton, particularly since he was so "outspokenly indifferent" to the suspension. Another source says Orton was hastily benched to ensure that he return before SummerSlam on August 19, but "something happened" shortly after the announcement that infuriated the WWE Chairman. This has led to discussions of Orton not being brought back at all after his suspension concludes.
Former WCW announcer Mark Madden stated last Thursday via Twitter that WWE is looking to terminate their partnership with Orton since he's considered difficult to deal with and due to the belief that his value has plateaued.
There are people within WWE saying Orton's time away from the squared circle 'isn't going to be that big a problem.' For the first time, officials are openly categorizing CM Punk as the second-ranked babyface rather than the two as equals. Many also feel SmackDown's babyface side will be sufficient with Sheamus, Christian, Sin Cara, Rey Mysterio returning soon from suspension and the option to turn Daniel Bryan at a moment's notice. Orton has made and saved a lot of money during his career and resides in an area where he could live comfortably for several years without financial worry. His wife Samantha also comes from a well-to-do family, so not having a steady income is reportedly not a major concern for him.
There is a 'small, vocal pocket' within the sports entertainment organization lobbying for Orton's termination. Those opposing his return feel his lucrative ten-year contractsigned in January 2010can no longer be justified if he is brought back in a mid-level role. His second suspension hinders WWE from continuing to feature Orton in headline role since a third drug-testing policy infraction would result in automatic termination, or, as some have stated, a "one-year suspension."
In another potential factor, there is concern over the physical state of Orton, who has incurred numerous injuries over his twelve-year career. Some officials believe his body is breaking down and there are questions regarding the state of his neck and spine.
According to SuperLuchas.net, the nine-time world champions suspension stems from a positive drug test for the anabolic steroid Dianabol, which is banned by the United States Congress under its Controlled Substances Act. However, that is not confirmed. Orton claimed to test positive for a tainted supplement.
Several WWE developmental releases have been made in the last week, reports Mike
Johnson of PWInsider.com.
Eli Cottonwood, who appeared on WWE NXT,
requested for his release from the company and had it granted. Reports suggest Cottonwood received a job offer outside of the wrestling business
and decided to take it.
Jiro, who was originally trained in Japan by TAKA Michinoku's Kaientai-Dojo, has
also been released, along with Benicio Salazar, a Mexican talent who worked under a mask in Mexico as El Hijo del Medico
Asesino, and Sonny Elliot, a developmental talent from Australia, who have all
been released from their developmental contracts.
All four wrestlers
have been removed from the Florida Championship Wrestling roster page earlier
this week.

Former WWE Star Believes Cena Wants Orton Fired Posted by Steve Carrier on 06/10/2012 at 03:16 PM
Fueling rumors that WWE may part ways with Randy Orton as a result of his second violation of the Talent Wellness Program, former WWE talent Kenn Doane (a/k/a Kenny Dykstra) said on Twitter that he believes John Cena is among those within the sports entertainment organization lobbying for the SmackDown wrestler's termination. Doane's belief is based on Cena admitting to him in 2006 that he wanted Orton fired for his first Wellness Program infraction.
"When I was there and Orton got suspended for the first time, Cena told me he wanted Orton fired. So now I'm sure it's probably him trying for RKO's release," Doane wrote Friday. "Regardless, hopefully he don't get fired since he has a young child and is the best story teller in WWE. They do still tell stories in the ring right?"
Cena admitted in WWE's 2011 Randy Orton video release, The Evolution of a Predator, that he was not fond of the "old Randy."
"I always joke around there's old Randy and then theres new Randy," Cena stated. "Old Randy was an asshole."
Orton was quietly suspended for thirty days without pay in August 2006, before WWE publicly announced suspensions for Talent Wellness Program violations. He tested positive for an anabolic steroid that he did not have a valid prescription for. Orton missed live events but continued to appear at televised eventsincluding SummerSlam for a match against Hulk Hoganfor the duration of the suspension. He privately claimed he was taking time off from live events to remodel his home, but it was later confirmed that he was, in fact, suspended.
Cena has expressed strong support for the criminalization of the non-medical use of anabolic steroids by athletes. He has advocated the incarceration of athletes found to be using anabolic steroids or other performance enhancing drugs. "They should send the guys to jail," said Cena during a February 2009 interview with the Seattle Post-Intelligencer in response to a question about New York Yankees player Alex Rodriguez admitting to using steroids and Major League Baseball's anti-doping efforts. Cena elaborated on this belief in an interview with the New York Daily News.
"[Steroids] are the personal choice of the athlete," said Cena while promoting 12 Rounds. "And [Rodriguez] got defensive, saying he used because he felt he needed to. If there was a set of [legal] stipulations set in place, he may never have even considered it.
"The government should take the initiative, and if you get caught using drugs, then you should go to jail. A criminal record will hurt your endorsements and long-term contracts."
According to SuperLuchas.net, the nine-time world champion's suspension reportedly stems from a positive drug test for the anabolic steroid Dianabol, which is banned by the United States Congress under its Controlled Substances Act. However, that is not confirmed. The only person in WWE who commented on the matter to Wrestling Observer editor Dave Meltzer believes Orton actually tested positive for a tainted supplement.
