RAW Results - 22nd November
Location - Orlando, Florida
Announcers - Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler
We are live from Orlando, Florida and your announcers are Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler.
We see photos from what happened last night in the main event when John Cena got fired because Wade Barrett did not win the WWE Title.
Speaking of the man who lost the main event, Wade Barrett comes out and about ten seconds later the rest of Nexus comes out. Wade and his serious sneer has something to say. He says that last night John Cena looked him in the eye . . . and the crowd is showing Wade no respect so he waits before finishing his sentence. He tells everyone that they don’t have to chant for Cena because he fired him. Wade repeats what he said earlier and John said that he knew exactly what he was doing. John says that it means that he was willing to sacrifice his career to do the right thing. It means that he went into last night’s match without a fighting chance because John Cena decided that Wade would not win. He says that John Cena was biased from the beginning and that is not fair. Wade says that an official has never placed his hands on a competitor but that is what John did last night. John pushed him into a waiting RKO. He says that it was unjust, unfair, and unprofessional.
Wade says that in the name of justice, he wants another opportunity to take on Randy Orton, but with a neutral referee. This way he can be the WWE Champion.
The Official Cast Member of the WWE General Manager rises up and he reads the message. There is no question that there is some validity to the supposition by Wade Barrett. Randy Orton would want to prove his individual superiority. Therefore the WWE Title will be on the line when Randy Orton faces Wade Barrett and it will happen tonight.
Wade likes what the General Messenger wrote for Cole to read. Wade says that he will allow John Cena to appear here tonight in anticipation of such an announcement. Wade says that he enjoyed firing John last night, but as a fellow competitor and a gentleman, he owed it to John Cena to say his final words to the WWE Universe. Wade says that he will enjoy those words as much as becoming WWE Champion.
Michael and Jerry wonder if John Cena will show up to say his farewell in the city that Ric Flair did the same to the WWE Universe?
We go to commercial with the announcement that John Cena will be on Raw.
We are back and next week, King of the Ring will be back too. Who will follow in the footsteps of the last King of the Ring, William Regal?
Jerry cleans off his crown while Cole talks about the vintage King of the Ring. Jerry mentions that six men have won King of the Ring and made it to the Hall of Fame.
Michael Cole gets on the house mic and he introduces the newest member of the Monday Night Raw broadcast team, CM Punk. Punk decides to give Cole a hug just like John Cena did with Cole last night.

Not just the company today, but every single person who allowed him to be here today. Guys like Steve Austin, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and the Undertaker. Championships were one thing, but the goal at the end of the day was to be able to look in everyone’s eyes and have them tell him ‘you did good, kid.’
John says that some might think that he got a raw deal, but he got to dance in the ring with Hall of Famers and he got to travel around the world, so he got to live a fantasy. He will not let the last two months of what Nexus did to him ruin the last nine years of his life. Cena says that life moves very fast in the WWE.

He says that he will get to celebrate his mom’s birthday. He is going to go to West Newberry and his mom will get the best birthday present because he will be there to spend it with her.

He wants to hear half the arena say ‘Let’s Go Cena’ and the other half to . . . He wants every woman and every child to say ‘Let’s Go Cena’ and every guy over eighteen to chant ‘Cena sucks’. Cena stands in the ring and enjoys the crowd’s chants.

He tells Wade to take a bit of advise from a grizzled ex-employee who wears purple and might have peed in his coffee once or twice. He tells Wade to stop taking shortcuts and the easy way out. The fans will give him everything if he gives it back. Cena tells Wade that karma is a bitch and if you keep taking shortcuts it will come back to haunt you.
Cena says that he is going a bit long and he wants to focus on one person to thank and he thanks the WWE Universe. He thanks them for letting them share his life for the last nine years.

Miz with another punch but Orton sends Miz into the ringside barrier.
Miz with the set up for the Awesome clothesline but Orton with a clothesline. Orton with a European uppercut followed by an attempted IEDDT, but Miz gets into the ring and hits the injured knee. Orton with a power slam and then it is time for the RKO push ups. Miz avoids the RKO and hits the Skull Crushing Finale for the three count.
Winner: The Miz
We go to credits with Michael Cole excited for the new champion while he is probably jealous of Alex Riley being able to touch Miz right now.
