WWE Monday Night Raw live on USA Network

Greensboro Coliseum in Greensboro, NC

December 3, 201

Welcome everyone to Monday Night Raw! Open up with usual recaps of last week, focusing on The Shield’s 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 they’re not so tough. Prime Time Players come out, to new theme music, which doesn’t 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.

Winners: Team Hell No

Immediately after, Ambrose and Reigns attack Kane. Seth Rollins comes out and attacks Bryan. The two outside work on Kane's arm with the steps and ringpost. The three gather and take out Bryan with the powerbomb. Note: During the match, Cole puts over the fact that Kane has competed in 899 matches--more than anyone in WWE history. Big Glenn Jacobs is the man. The Shield exit the ringside area.

Cena and Sheamus have an awkward backstage segment. Sheamus makes a bunch of Irish sports references.

Let’s light it up! AJ competes next.

2. WWE Divas: AJ Lee vs. Tamina Snuka

Tamina is in control here most of the match. Puts AJ in an inverted backbreaker. Tamina takes too long to hit the Superfly Splash. AJ rolls her up for the win.

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. That’s why he deserves respect--the claim to the best in the world, and belong on the top of WWE’s Mt. Rushmore. CM Punk backs it up. He just cuts a great promo. He says it wasn’t Brad Maddox’s fault, he’s not involved with The Shield, and he truly is the best in world he says. Miz comes out does the “really?” shtick. Say’s 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.

Hard fought match sees Cena and Sheamus hitting the White Noise to Paul Wight and Ziggler taking the AA. Ziggler gets pinned. [Editor's note: What. The. F***.]

Winners: Cena and Sheamus

Miss Piggy and Flo Rida cut a promo about Tribute to the Troops

Damien Sandow comes out searching for an apprentice. He grabs a fan and quizzes him. He gets the first two right as they were simple, then asks him to name a quote from an English poet. Sandow berates the fan for failing and dismisses him. Santino Marella comes out and tries to have some fun with Sandow by quizzing him on how many sea shells she sold at the seashore.

4. Damien Sandow vs. Santino Marella

Sandow wins. Nothing special.

Winner: Damien Sandow

Backstage, Ziggler calls Big Show an idiot for their loss tonight. Ziggler tells Vickie Guerrero he wants a rematch with Cena at TLC and he will steal the show like no one else can or has ever seen. Guerrero says you got it, baby. Ziggler goes to kiss her. She stops him. Someone is in her office and that someone is Brad Maddox. He wants to make sure no one else will forget his name. He schmoozes up to Guerrero. and gets her to give him another shot, Maddox is showing a lot of charisma here. Guerrero says he’ll have a match tonight and it’ll 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 that’s all. Crowd surprisingly mild for this.

6. Brad Maddox vs. Randy Orton.

RKO for the win. Maybe next week, kid.

Winner: Orton

HEY WAIT A MINUTE. The Shield attacks Orton post match. "Feed me more" chants break out.

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. Paul Heyman comes in and stares down Guerrero.. At this point, you can hear R-Truth heading to the ring as the fans chant "what's up." Cena comes in and thanks Guerrero for the match.

In the ring is United States Champion Antonio Cesaro and Wade Barrett. WWE Intercontinental champion Kofi Kingston makes his way to the ring....looks like we’re going to have ourselves a tag team match...sure enough Teddy Long comes out and says that we WONT be seeing a tag team match, but a fatal four way instead.?!?! I can’t believe I’m seeing this. It has to be an impostor....Anyway, the WWE Universe will chose whose title will be on the line...

The fans choose the U.S. title.

7. WWE United States Champion Antonio Cesaro vs. WWE Intercontinental champion Kofi Kingston vs. Wade Barrett vs. R Truth for the U.S. Title.

Cesaro just looked impressive as hell throughout this match, from his clobbering elbows, and flat out strength. Barrett hits the Bull Hammer on R-Truth. Kingston hits Barrett with the Trouble in Paradise, covers Barrett. Cesaro deadlifts Kingston off a gutwrench and hits the neutralizer for the win.

Winner and still U.S. Champion: Antonio Cesaro

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. Miz starts asking baseline questions like what’s your name, are you WWE champion, etc. Miz has some fun by making answer about losing to Rey in the Mask vs .Hair match, or against Randy Orton at WrestleMania 27. The Miz asks about being involved with Brad Maddox. The Shield attacks The Miz just in time. The Shield destroy Miz. Team Hell No come out to attack The Shield. Ryback comes out to make things even. The three fight off The Shield.

Back in the ring, Punk stands over Miz and shoves him out of the ring. Ryback runs back into the ring and dismantles Punk, with a shellshock, a ladder, and a chair shot, and finally an Orton-Bomb through the table.
