Backstage, Veda Scott is with Davey Richards and Nigel McGuinness as Veda asks if Nigel is concerned about Davey's condition. Nigel says who wouldn't be, take a look. Nigel says to Davey we saw what happened last week when Fish & O'Reilly put a "good pasting" on you. Tonight, you're gonna face Michael Elgin? Davey says to Nigel "come on", its a business of hurt. How many times did you go out there and defend your title, show you were the best in the world when you were banged up? Its a pain game, you know how it is, you know damn well I'm gonna go out there and fight Michael Elgin tonight. Davey says Nigel brings up O'Reilly & Fish, there is one thing I need to ask you, see I need to make the wrong things right, its not about revenge, its about doing the right thing. To do that, I need my partner, Eddie Edwards. I need the American Wolves at Final Battle vs. Fish & O'Reilly. You have the power, Nigel, make it happen. Nigel says Eddie's in Japan, I can't just call him up and ask him. Davey says for Nigel to e-mail him, I don't care what's happened in the past, we're brothers. Send him an e-mail, I guarantee he'll be there, I have all the faith in the world in him. I wouldn't ask if I didn't have faith in him, its the right thing to do. Nigel says alright, I've made my mind up, I'll e-mail Eddie, I'll tell him that at Final Battle it will be the American Wolves reunited against Fish & O'Reilly. But, if he doesn't want to be there, then he won't wrestle at all, that's my decision.
Davey & Nigel shake hands as we go back to the ring for our next match.

Marshall charges, but Nana pulls down the top rope, sending Marshall sailing to the outside. Evans tries to get away, but Nana pulls him back in.

Commercial
Back from commercial as Evans & Marshall are still in the ring, along with Kevin Kelly & Nigel McGuinness. Evans grabs the mic away from Kelly and says to Nigel that this is an OUTRAGE! Prince Nana did not just violate me physically, he hurt me emotionally. Do you understand I am under severe psychological distress and it is on your hands as the authority figure of Ring of Honor. I have a restraining order against that peasant, Nana, he was not allowed in this building and that attack that was perpetrated on me is ALL YOUR FAULT!
Nigel gets the mic from Evans and says keep your pants on, mate. Evans says I demand restitution, not comedy. Nigel says you want restitution? I will give you restitution. But, I am going to be pushed around and I'm not gonna listen to the whims of a man with genitals the size of a 4 year old. Its clear that there is only one way to settle this. At Final Battle, RD Evans on one side of the ring and on the other, Prince Nana. One fight to a decision! And if you don't like it, you and QT there can leave ROH forever! And I'll worry about a lawsuit some other time, that's my decision.
Nigel leaves the ring as Evans throws a tantrum in the ring.
"Inside Ring of Honor"
The topic this week is that 2 new matches have been added to Final Battle. The 1st, a New York City streetfight as Wrestling's Greatest Tag Team will take on Rhett Titus & BJ Whitmer. The other is the reunion of the American Wolves, maybe, against Kyle O'Reilly & Bobby Fish.
We see video packages of what happened last week involving WGTT & Titus & Whitmer, as well as the face-off between Richards & O'Reilly.
Kevin Kelly runs down the rest of the card and mentions next week's TV main event will be for the ROH World Title as champion Kevin Steen defends against "The Prodigy" Mike Bennett.
Commercial
Before the main event, Truth Martini comes out to ringside. He enters the ring and has a mic. Truth says to Elgin, on that one day when you needed me the most, Rhino injured me and I could not be by your side in Toronto. And I know for a fact, if I was there, you would have beat Kevin Steen and become the new Ring of Honor World Champion. I let you down, but I'll never you down again. And I know we have the same beliefs, we believe in family, we believe in unity and you also believe in the House of Truth. So, I say to you this, if you promise me that you will not wrestle Roderick Strong at Final Battle, I promise you that you in fact will become the Ring of Honor World Champion.
Elgin takes the mic and says you know what Truth, I promise you. I promise you that at Final Battle, I'm gonna kill Roderick Strong. And I promise you that if you don't leave, what Rhino did to you is gonna look like sunshine & lollipops, compared to what I'm about to do. Martini leaves, but still pleads with Elgin to reconsider.
Now, its main event time in the re-match ROH fans have been waiting for.

WWE's website published
an article with a statement from Vince McMahon. Here is what the article reads.
WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon has released a statement through his office,
speaking to the developing situation surrounding the WWE
TLC pay-per-view. Because of the previously reported knee
injury to WWE Champion CM Punk, suffered this past Monday night on Raw, Punk is unable to
compete at WWE TLC against Ryback Sunday, Dec. 16.
In the statement, Mr. McMahon also announced that a Six-Man Tables,
Ladders and Chairs Match has been added to the pay-per-view, in which Ryback
will team up with WWE Tag Team Champions Team Hell No to battle The Shield.
Furthermore, for the first time ever, the winner of this TLC Match will be determined via pinfall or
submission.
One day after Ryback drove WWE Champion CM Punk through a table
on Raw, WWE.com has learned that The Second City Saint is currently undergoing
surgery on his knee in Pensacola, Fla.
WWE officials have stated that there is no firm time line for CM Punk's return
because no estimate can be made until he starts rehab on the knee. Company
officials feel that there should be a fairly good estimate on his return date
within a few days.
UPDATE: According to sources,, CM Punk was willing to
work the TLC PPV but WWE doesn't want him to push his return ahead of schedule
There was fear that by doing that, they could be putting the Royal Rumble match
against Tthe Rock in jeopardy. At this time, he is only expected to be out for a
few weeks. Paul Heyman and Punk are scheduled to remain on WWE TV while he is
recovering.
UPDATE x 2: It was announced at Tuesday night's WWE
Smackdown tapings that CM Punk will not wrestle at the TLC PPV. A new match was
announced for the PPV, which will be Ryback, Kane and Daniel Bryan vs. The
Shield.
Here is the updated **SPOILER** lineup for WWE's Tables, Laders
and Chairs pay-per-view"
* Chairs Match for the World Title: Big Show
vs. Sheamus * Ryback, Kane and Daniel Bryan vs. The Shield *
Intercontinental Title Match: Kofi Kingston vs. Wade Barrett * US Title
Match: Antonio Cesaro vs. R-Truth * Ladder Match For Money in the Bank
Briefcase: Dolph Ziggler vs. John Cena
No word yet on why Rey Mysterio was not at last night's RAW from Greensboro. His partner Sin Cara wrestled Alberto Del Rio in a singles match. Rey also is not advertised for tonight's SmackDown tapings and has been pulled for all upcoming RAW tapings on WWE's website.
Welcome everyone to Monday Night Raw! Open up with usual recaps of last week, focusing on The Shields attacks. We start off right away with Team Hell No, once again coming to the ring together all business. Michael Cole puts over the fact that Kane and Bryan have become more unified after their attack last week. Kane is on the mic. The Shield is up in the skybox. Kane calls them out and says theyre not so tough. Prime Time Players come out, to new theme music, which doesnt sound as good as their original. Cole puts over PTP as a threat.
1. WWE Tag Team Champions Team Hell No vs. Prime Time Players (Titus O'Neil and Darren Young)
WWE Chairman Vince McMahon is reportedly here tonight. We keep cutting back to The Shield. This time Dean Ambrose is alone. Cole accidentally calls him Daniel Ambrose. The camera was on Bryan, so I can see the mistake. Bryan and Kane are still looking out The Shield. Bryan locks the No Lock on D.Young. O'Neal breaks it up. Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns have made it to the barricade. Kane and Bryan are distracted by Shield. Young rolls up Bryan in an attempt to win, but Bryan reverses it getting the win for Team Hell No.

Big Glenn Jacobs is the man. The Shield exit the ringside area.

Winner: AJ Lee
WWE Champion for 379 days CM Punk and Paul Heyman come to the ring. Heyman mentions the WWE Encyclopedia and how tonight at midnight, he will tie with John Cena, and tomorrow night, he will hit and surpass Cena and become the longest reigning WWE Champion in the modern era of the past 25 years. Thats why he deserves respect--the claim to the best in the world, and belong on the top of WWEs Mt. Rushmore. CM Punk backs it up. He just cuts a great promo. He says it wasnt Brad Maddoxs fault, hes not involved with The Shield, and he truly is the best in world he says. Miz comes out does the really? shtick. Says he lied and cheated when he was champion, but is man enough to admit it. The
The gist of it is this: Miz challenges him to take a Lie Detector test to prove he had nothing to do with Maddox and The Shield. Punk refuses at first, but gives in.
3. John Cena and Sheamus vs. World Heavyweight Champion #TheGiantTheBigShow Paul Wight and "Mr. Money in the Bank" Dolph Ziggler
John Cena is the man. Gets a great reaction from the fans. That energy transfers over to Sheamus.

Guerrero says hell have a match tonight and itll be GREAT TV...The irony if his opponent is The GREAT Khali
5. Alberto Del Rio (w/ Ricardo Rodriguez) vs. Sin Cara
Sin Cara works the arm of Del Rio, as these rivals do battle. Great TV match. Got good time. Would've been better if they didn't wrestle on Smackdown as well though. SIn Cara goes for La Mistica, but Del Rio reverses it into the Cross Armbreaker for the win. Sin Cara looks strong in defeat.
Winner: Del Rio
VInce McMahon is on his way to the ring. Calls for Vickie Guerrero to be at the ring too
Guerrero comes out to the ring and I smell a firing. She introduces and kisses up to Vinny Mac. McMahon asks about the match she was thinking of making. He makes John Cena vs. Dolph Ziggler in a ladder match for the Money in the Bank briefcases He scolds Guerrero for perpetuating the AJ scandal. He also sets up a match where Paul Heyman will have to face The Ryback next week.. and thats all. Crowd surprisingly mild for this.

Backstage, Guerrero feels the wrath of her haste decisions. She yells at referee Little Naitch Charles Robinson. Ziggler verbally runs her down, saying she is becoming like AJ.

The fans choose the U.S. title.

8. Miz TV. Miz introduces us to the sheriff that will be conducting the lie detector gimmick. WWE Champion CM Punk and Paul Heyman come out and trade insults.

- "The Chickbusters" AJ Lee and Kaitlyn reunited at last night's live event in Roanoke. They defeated Rosa Mendes and Divas Champion Eve Torres after Eve walked out on her partner.
There was speculation among fans that Eve may have been injured going into the match. At Friday's show, she defeated Kaitlyn and AJ in a three-way match. At last night's show, Eve barely did any moves during the match and when she did tag in, she didn't do much. The feeling was that they went out of their way to protect her as if she is injured.
We noted before that WWE has released NXT star Kenneth Cameron after his recent arrest. It had been reported that Cameron and The Ascension partner Conor O'Brian were considered for WWE's main roster soon. On Friday, O'Brian issued his first comments on Twitter in several weeks:
"Creativity - like human life - begins in darkness...#WEWILLRISE"
John Cena and former WWE Diva Nikki Bella
are apparently now an item.
Last Friday, Nikki and her sister Brie attended their ten-year high school reunion in
Scottsdale, Arizona, with Brie being accompanied by her boyfriend, WWE Superstar
Daniel Bryan, and Nikki bringing the Cenation leader as her date.
- Sakamoto, who appeared as Tensai's servant, has been officially demoted to WWE's developmental promotion, NXT. His WWE.com profile has been deleted and he is once again listed on the NXT website's roster page.
Despite being physically abused when Tensai became frustrated, Sakamoto still continued to be loyal to his master. The partnership, however, quietly ended over the summer when the Tokyo, Japan native stopped accompanying Tensai for his matches. He has not appeared for WWE since.
The
Wrestling Observer, is reporting that in addition to February's Against
All Odds pay per view, word comes that TNA's No Surrender is the next pay per
view to be on TNA's chopping block for the 2013 schedule. This would leave more
build time into Bound For Glory.
PWInsider.com is
reporting that TNA's Against All Odds pay per view has been removed from the
2013 schedule. TNA will instead hold Genesis on January 13 2013 and build right
into Lockdown in March 10 2013. They also note that 1-2 other TNA pay per views
could be on the chopping block next.
News
& Rumors: Update On Tag Team Name, Morgan Working With Hogan, More
- There was a lot of positive sentiment
about last night's Impact Wrestling taping backstage after the show. The feeling
is that the company has turned the corner on creative with their grand plans
mapped out several months ahead and the initial TV scripts put to bed a few
weeks ahead of time in order to make sure they are locked in to their plans.
There are changes made week to week to tweak and polish the plans but for the
most part, the short and long term planning is stronger than it has been in a
long, long time for the company.
- The cape Matt Morgan was wearing is
the actual cape from Hulk Hogan's heel run in the 1970s. Hogan has been working
closely with Morgan to help him improve as a talent and personality.

noted on last night's Impact, the Daniels/Kazarian team has been dubbed Bad
Influence.
WWE Smackdown Results 11/30/12 By WZ Nov 30, 2012 - 10:05:00 PM
The cheesy voice over guy can be heard so it must be time for Smackdown. John Cenas music hits and makes his way to the ring. A clip is shown from Raw of Cenas win over Ziggler. Cena says he knows something seems mysterious and tells fans not to adjust your sets, he is John Cena and he knows he is not a regular on Smackdown but he is here and he is excited for the main event. He says that tonights main event involves Mr Money in the bank, Ziggler. He says he is focusing on Dolph since Dolph had focused on him and his business. Cena says that since Dolph has pointed the finger at him, tonight he points the finger back at him.
