This week’s three hour ‘Power To The People’ RAW starts with music and pyro.
King, Cole and Booker go through how WWE is giving the ‘Power To The People’ through cell phones, texting A, B or C.
CM Punk’s music and he comes out. A kneel on the stage, then down to the ring in his Punk shirt, long black shorts, his ring boots, pads and tape. Punk sits in the center of the ring and says ‘Power To The People’. He wouldn’t trust any of them with the content of this program. What terrible decisions will they make. They live in Baltimore, they can move. They can’t do anything about his career. He’s the best wrestler in the world. He soundly defeated Rey at CP. He soundly defeated Cena on RAW last week. Wins and losses do mean something. He’s #1 contender for the WWE Championship. This is not a debate or argument. It’s a fact over the past two weeks. He wants the RAW GM to shoot an email to Cole and make it official that he’s #1 contender. He wants the match scheduled in his hometown at MITB. He won MITB two years in a row. Consider this an old fashioned sit in. He’s there until it’s made official. After a bit –
Ding-Ding! Cole asks for attention and Punk says the words with Cole. He tells Cole to hurry up, get up there!
Ding-Ding! And I quote, “I understand your demands and will certainly take them under consideration, but for right now, I’m asking you to leave the ring.”
Punk tells Cole he loves him and is just doing his job, but he or she is asking Punk to leave the ring, but –
Ding-Ding! And I quote, “I suggest you leave the ring right now.”
Punk says until you announce him as #1 contender, he suggest they watch him make snow angels. Punk leans back and makes imaginary snow angels in the ring!
Ding-Ding! And I quote, “I was going to name you the #1 contender later tonight, but since I feel a twinge of disrespect, you’ll have to earn it. Later tonight you will go one on one with Alberto Del Rio and the winner will be the #1 contender for the WWE Championship.
Punk says he’s used to a lot of people around here making bad decisions. ADR has one fluke win over Big Show, one fluke win –
Ding-Ding! And I quote, “Now your #1 Contender Match will be a Triple Threat Match. You versus ADR, versus Rey Mysterio.”
Punk is really pissed in the ring, but RAW’s music is playing and his Miz is shut off. Punk over to announce yelling at Booker who seems to think this is funny. Punk stomps off, kicks the stairs, hurts himself and limps off.
Later tonight we choose who Brie Bella will face. A – Eve B – Kelly C – Beth Phoenix
The camera is backstage and on Eve, then Kelly, then Beth. The camera pulls back and shows all three.

Henry says we now see what happens when the world’s largest athlete meets the world’s strongest man. Last night at CP, Big Show got punished. Just like Henry got punished on Smackdown. When Big Show walks the earth, the earth shakes. When Henry walks the earth, everyone shakes. See, bigger isn’t always better. Just like his music says, when you’re dealing with the world’s strongest man, somebody’s going to get their ass kicked!

– Commercial
Booker, Cole and King are sitting behind a demolished table. Booker says they need a new table, King says he needs a new phone.
Video promo for R-Truth talking about being born into a great life. The Little Jimmies and Little Jennies. Cena tells R-Truth he’s out of his mind. R-Truth only needs the opportunity! But last night at CP R-Truth stole a hat, got a drink in the face and lost the match.
R-Truth out to the ring with his lack of music. R-Truth puts the mic to his face, then stops. “You suck!” R-Truth says he can see the people in Baltimore don’t have no home training, so he’ll let them be the animals they are. Are they all having fun tonight? Cheers! That they get to make the calls. He made a call to himself in his head. Last night at CP he didn’t think this out clearly.
‘What?’
“Don’t what me!”
‘What?’
See, he axe himself. Self, who might try to get you.
‘What?’
Might be that computer right there.
‘What?’
Or it might be John Cena.
‘What?’
“Stop what-ing me!”
‘WHAT?’
“You know what happened folks?”
‘What?’
“I got okey-doked by Little Jimmie!”
‘What?’
R-Truth with a scary serious look on his face.
“I got got by Little Jimmies, that aint -“
‘What?’
“Shut up!”
He new it was a conspiracy! All the Little Jimmies, the Big Jimmies, even Momma Jimmies!
Christian’s music hits and he comes out. He feels where R-Truth is coming from, dog. ‘Power To The People’? What a complete joke. He’s been in this business 17 long years and finally became the World Heavyweight Champion, only to have it stolen 5 days later. Why? These people decided he should face Orton. He’s had his opportunities, he’s had setbacks. He blames horrible audiences, horrible crowds like this one here in Baltimore. He blames a horrible GM and now horrible reffing that was never more evident than it was last night. Take a look?
R-Truth asks Christian what he need?
Christian calls up the shot from CP where Christian’s foot and hand were under the ropes when the ref counted the three for Orton to retain.
Christian says he should be standing there as the brand new World Heavyweight Champion. R-Truth says he should. He’s not out there to ask, he’s there to demand justice is proven. Christian says he needs one more chance. R-Truth asks how many shots Christian has had. Christian says it doesn’t matter, he only needs one more. R-Truth says he got one chance and got got by Little Jimmie!
The fans love this, so he yells at them.
Christian asked who’s Little Jimmies?
R-Truth says maybe in Canada they don’t have Little Jimmies! In America, the Little Jimmies want him to be a good R-Truth!
Miz’s music and out he comes. Really? Really? Really? Really? They want to complain about what happened to them last night? “You whiners! You bunch of crybabies! Waa! Waa! Waa!” Miz says Christian is complaining about a bad ref call. R-Truth is complaining about a Little Jimmie? Miz’s gripes are legitimate! A ref should not be physically involved in a match. Riley didn’t win a match last night, he had it handed to him on a silver platter.
Christian says their situations are a little bit different from what they’re saying here. He fought his apprentice last night and was unsuccessful, but Christian and R-Truth were in Title Matches last night. “Awesome!” chants.
Miz says, “How dare you?”
Christian to R-Truth, “How dare you?”
R-Truth to Christian, “How dare me? How dare you?”
Miz to Christian, “Really?” Then to R-Truth, “Really?” Then back to Christian, “Really?”
The fans answer Miz with ‘Really!’
Christian turns to miz, “Really?” Christian to R-Truth, “Really?”
R-Truth to Miz, “Really?” Then to Christian, “Really?”
Christian to Miz, “Really? Riley?”
Miz to Christian, “Really? Randy?”
Back and forth between the two with, “Randy” and “Riley” until R-Truth steps in with “Jimmy” over and over.
Before they can go any further and make my brain hurt Teddy Long comes out and tells them to all shut up! The fans don’t want to see them blabbering in the ring, they want to see them fighting in the ring. They’ll be in a Six Man Tag Team Match. The fans will pick what type of match. They’ll be facing the team of Alex Riley, Randy Orton and John Cena. The three heels are still left in the ring arguing, luckily this time off mic!

Alberto rolls in driving a white Bentley drop top (sweet!), but sans Ricardo. Alberto into the ring and tells us his name, but we know that. Lately he’s been teaching a lesson to everybody. A lesson in destiny. He told Big Show what happened was just an accident. But thinking more, it wasn’t an accident, but it’s destiny. He told Big Show that bad things happen to bad people.
