RAW this week starts with music and pyro.
Justin announces Mr. McMahon who comes out looking a little older but to some decent pop. He says now that the Superbowl is over, – he gives props to the fans as they’re in Wisconsin – there’s one thing left that supersedes the Superbowl. An event that has more grandeur, more excitement more spectacle. We’re talking about Wrestlemania. Each year there’s something that sets it apart from all the others, something not seen before. This year will be no different. Next week they’ll announce the man who’s the personification of that special moment, that never been done before. They will introduce this man who will set a record like no other. No one’s ever hosted an event in front of 75,000 people. Not the Oscars, not the Superbowl (there was more than that at Superbowl 2 – but no one person hosts it), not the Grammy’s, not the World Cup. There’s only one man capable of pulling off this endeavor. We’ll meet him here next week.
Orton out to the ring. Video of Orton punting Husky Harris last week on RAW, then fled Nexus through the crowd. “RKO” chants quietly through the fans. Orton tells Punk, if he thinks they’re even after last week, then Punk’s more delusional than he thought. Orton’s just getting started. Orton will cost him a lot more than Husky Harris. As a matter of fact –
Punk’s music cuts Orton off. Punk out on stage seemingly alone. Punk says he has to sit down because he’s stymied that he and Orton agree on something. Randal is right, it’s not over, not by a long shot. Orton want to know why he cost him the Title at the Royal Rumble? The truth will set him free. Punk shows video from Unforgiven 2008 when Orton said Punk holding the strap was a fluke. Then Legacy attacked Punk from behind, then Orton punted Punk’s head and said that was impressive! Punk says Orton knows why he did what he did. Orton is that cold hearted person they say. He doesn’t care about anyone but himself. Orton doesn’t care that Punk had to forfeit that night because he couldn’t compete. Punk hasn’t forgotten that night and it feels like yesterday. He’s waited for revenge. He patient, he waits and waits. Punk says his actions are defensible. Punk’s right, Orton’s wrong. As long as they’re on the same show, breathe the same air, Orton won’t be Champion again. Punk’s waited long enough to get his revenge. He’s not waiting for Elimination Chamber, he’s going to eliminate Orton right now. Out came the rest of Nexus. Punk leads Otunga, McGillicutty and Ryan to the ring.
Orton had the upper hand until Ryan got in the ring. They gained control as Punk entered the ring. Orton broke free and tackled Punk and bloodied his nose! But the rest jumped and locked him in the ropes. “Cena” chants. Punk steps up, holds Orton’s face as Ryan holds Orton in the ropes from behind. Orton head butts Punk’s already bloody nose. No one runs out with a towel! Punk’s nose is dripping all over the mat. Then a kick to Punk. Nexus beats Orton down on the mat. Nexus picks Orton up to Punk’s shoulders. Punk hits his GTS, then mocks Orton’s punches to the mat while hanging over Orton, dripping blood all over.

WWE Slam Of The Week – King winning the RAW Rumble last week for the #1 Contendership.
Miz out to the ring in wrestling gear and a t-shirt, gold over his shoulder. A-Ri bounces around behind Miz like a puppy in a suit. Cole verbally abuses King. Video of Punk’s attack on JoMo before the commercial. Miz says last week as he watched the RAW Rumble backstage, he only had one thought on his mind. Miz started a ‘Jerry’ chant. Miz says he was pulling for King. He wants King to come into the ring so he can show the respect King deserves. Miz tells A-Ri to please leave the ring. Miz doesn’t want King to feel uncomfortable. Miz then makes a big deal about King as he’s in the ring.
Miz asks if King wants to know why Miz was rooting for him? King say that he doesn’t wrestle that much anymore and Miz think he can easily win over King. Miz disagrees. They’re all easy wins! He could beat anyone in that match. That’s why he’s the Champion and they’re not. He thinks he and King are mirror images. When King was young he had one of the biggest mouths in the industry. He could incite riots. Whether it was Kaufman on Letterman, or insulting Bret’s Mother. He was a lightening rod. People would stop and listen. Miz says he’s never admitted this, but he’s patterned his career after King’s. He’s a modern day Jerry Lawler. People are listening to him, he’s on talk shows, he’s the WWE Champion. Something King’s never been and never will be.
King says he’d hate to look in a mirror and see a haircut like that! King says he has had a big mouth his entire career. The difference between them is that he back it up. Miz thinks he’s a modern day Lawler? The difference is King didn’t pattern after anyone, he’s an original.
Miz says King’s right, an original cheap shot artist. That another reason Miz likes him. Miz shows video of King punching Ted in the face last week. “Jerry!” chants fill the arena. Miz says that’s almost a sucker punch. King says he thinks Miz is a sucker. King gives a cheap pop. He thinks they all think Miz sucks too. Much heat for Miz. King says Miz is right, not everything that comes out of Miz’s mouth is poop, manure, compost or whatever Miz wants to call it. King’s never been the WWE Champion, nor has he competed at WM. Miz and no one else knows what it would mean to King to be Champion and compete at WM. It’s been a lifelong dream and he’s been in the industry for 40 years. So he’s going to be Champion. After he wins at Elimination Chamber, know what he’s going to say? ‘I’m going to WM!’
Miz says he’s wrong. The only thing the world’s going to hear is ‘I’m the Miz and I’m -‘ King yells, awful and starts the chant. Miz dives at King who ducks. King takes Miz down. A-Ri in and King sends him out flying. Miz up, but King takes him down again, hard. Ted rushes the ring, blindsides King and attacks. Cole is rooting them on the whole way.

EXCUSE ME!! EXCUSE ME!! Vickie has something to say. Dolph in a nice suit comes out with Vickie on his arm. She’s wearing a khaki shorts jumper with matching heels that does nothing for her figure and makes her look like a reject from an African safari tour. EXCUSE ME!! She says in two weeks her boyfriend Dolph won’t be in the Elimination Chamber Match as a challenger, he’ll enter as the new World Heavyweight Champion. EXCUSE ME!! This Friday on SD Dolph will beat Edge in a match –
Cena’s music cuts her off. Cole asks if anyone has respect for this woman? King says no. Her hairdresser sure doesn’t and neither does this guy (Cena). Cena into the ring and all smiles. Dolph demands to know what Cena’s doing out there. “Cena” chants. Cena says he’s putting a stop to this. This is more offensive than Christina Aguilera butchering the National Anthem. Cena says he kids. He’s out with an important announcement, an apology from R-Truth. After the Packers won the Super Bowl last night, R-Truth might have celebrated too long. He thinks he’s still in Green Bay. So he’s here to tell everyone that they’re in Milwaukee, Wisconsin! The home of Pabst Blue Ribbon, Bob Ueker and Laverne and Shirley, we’re in Milwaukee, Wisconsin! “Milwaukee!” chants and Cena loves it. Cena says the last time they were in the ring together, it was pretty awesome. Vickie, they had a sweet, sexay, passionate make out session. Dolph, you were there, you were cool with it.
Vickie stops Cena and says this is not – EXCUSE ME!! This is not how you show respect to the acting GM of SD! HUGE heat! Vickie says if they don’t get the respect they deserve, they’ll leave. Cena says all the fans have to do is get rowdy and they’ll leave. So, of course, the fans go wild. That’s all they have to do is make some noise and they’ll leave. Vickie yells that they deserve some respect! She deserves respect! This is a future World Champion. Cena says they have a great way to say goodbye. Cena starts the, “Go Pack Go!” chants. Vickie and Dolph leave as Cole screeches that the Steelers were robbed.
Cena says that since they’re gone, he has to get down to the brass tacks. We’ve all seen it, Nexus has handicapped each and every member competing in the Elimination Chamber. Randy Orton, goodbye. JoMo, thanks for coming. They beat R-Truth so silly he can’t remember what city he’s in. Sheamus, they got to him too. Cena knows why they’re doing this. If Punk can win the Elimination Chamber, he’ll go onto WM. They have a flaw in their plan. He’s still there. He’s still there and healthy. He knows he has a match with their fearless leader Punk. He’ll bet his last PBR tall can that his goon squad Nexus-sucks are going to get involved. He doesn’t know how he’s going to do it, but he promises he’ll kick Punk Elimination Chamber and if Nexus comes down, he’ll kick all of their Elimination Chamber. You can bet you Elimination Chamber that he’ll walk into the Elimination Chamber in one piece and walk out with a ticket to main event WM!
