WWE RAW: Spoiler Results for Tonight's Show

You know how the announcers for WWE’s Monday Night Raw always say the show is live?

Not quite.

It’s a made-for-TV event, just like most sporting events, and with the show hopping over the pond to wrestle in London, England, fans in attendance were able to upload the results before the show was able to air at 9 p.m. ET in the states. While I won’t go into great detail about each match, here are the cliff notes of what to expect on tonight’s RAW.

Announcements

1. Chris Jericho

After pummeling CM Punk with verbal jabs about his family's alcoholism issues yet again, finally Chris Jericho announces something noteworthy.

It’s going to be Punk vs. Jericho for the WWE Title in a Chicago Street Fight at the Extreme Rules PPV.

2. Brock Lesnar

Lesnar wasn’t in attendance, but he was shown on the big screen talking lots of trash to John Cena.

What we all knew already is official: It’s going to be Lesnar vs. Cena at Extreme Rules. Let the hype machine begin.

Matches

CM Punk vs. Mark Henry

After retaining his championship belt on two technicalities the last two weeks, finally fans were treated to a real match between the two stars.

While Punk once again took a beating, he used a chair and other objects to fend off “The Big Show” to retain his WWE Title and regain the support of his angry fanbase.

Santino Marella vs. David Otunga

All it took was a Cobra by Santino to make this one of the quickest matches of the night. Otunga didn’t stand a chance.

Kane vs. Zack Ryder

In another quick match that seemed to be a time-filler, Kane destroyed Ryder with a powerful chokeslam that KO’ed his opponent. Afterwards, Kane was still fuming over what happened to him at SmackDown with Randy Orton on Friday.

Kofi Kingston vs. Daniel Bryan

With "YES!" chants littering the stage, Bryan was able to fend off Kofi in one of the most even matches of the night. Afterwards, Sheamus popped out and tried to land a Brogue Kick on Bryan, but tonight’s winner was able to avoid it.

Obviously, the beef between these two isn’t over yet.

Brodus Clay vs. Dolph Ziggler

The fastest rising star in the sport has to be the Funkasaurus after he won on a DQ when Jack Swagger interfered with the match.

Even Clay’s dancers were feeling feisty, as one of them got in the face of Diva Vickie Guerrero.

Big Show and The Great Khali vs. Epico and Primo

A vicious double chokeslam sealed the deal for Show and Khali in one of the least surprising results of the night.

John Cena vs. Mystery Man

The mystery man ended up being Lord Tensai, who came out of the gate swinging. He thoroughly destroyed Cena and spit green mist into Cena’s face to pull off the big shocker of the night as the credits rolled and the show came to an end.

What’s going on with Cena?

Recap

Nothing earth-shattering occurs tonight, but a few feuds that were slowly building momentum are now going to take the next level with the Punk-Jericho and Lesnar-Cena announcements. The London crowd certainly represented, and they helped make tonight’s action that much more exciting.

My main takeaway is the humbling of Cena. A rough month continues to get worse and it makes you wonder if he'll be able to regain his focus in time to beat Lesnar.
