Coming out to present the Slammy for Superstar of the Year, it is the Sixteen Time World Champion Ric Flair.

Winner: Flair says that this is why he loves Philadelphia. The winner is John Cena.

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The people of Philadelphia appear to have voted for one of the other three nominees. Cena agrees with Flair that this is a lively crowd. He says that Superstar of the Year embodies hustle, loyalty, and respect. They need to work harder than anybody else. Punk recognizes the loyalty of the WWE Universe. That is why out of respect he cannot accept this award. It should go to the greatest superstar of all time, the two time Hall of Famer Ric Flair.

CM Punk’s music plays and he makes his way onto the stage with Paul Heyman. Punk yells that the people screwed him. He says that this is ridiculous on so many levels. This does not belong to Flair because he hasn’t been here in the last calendar year. It is a travesty for anyone to vote for Cena. He got beat by a guy who he decimated before. Cena cashed in the Money in the Bank and lost. He lost last night. Cena is a loser like the people of Philadelphia. Punk says that he was Superstar of the Year last year and he has been champion for 393 days so he is the Superstar of the Year. He is the man, not Flair or Cena.

Flair says that it is time for Punk to go. He says that Punk has too much baggage so he cannot walk a block.

Flair with a thumb to the eyes and then Flair puts Heyman in the figure four leg lock.

Flair says that he came here to have a good time. Ric tells Jerry that he loves him and they ain’t never going to lose either of them. Flair says that he told Vince that if he is going to die, it is going to happen in the ring or with a woman from Philadelphia. Flair says that he got to perform in one of the greatest sports towns.

Flair is interrupted by the Shield and they make their way to the ring. Flair tells them to come on down.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Daniel Bryan, Kane, and Ric Flair are fighting the Shield. Ambrose punches Flair and then he goes after Bryan who is working on Rollins. Reigns and Kane battle on the other side of the ring. Ambrose helps Reigns with Kane. They send Kane into the ringside barrier.

It is time for Roman Reigns to rearrange the announce table while Rollins and Ambrose work over Flair and then they set up Flair for the Three Man Power Bomb but Ryback’s music plays and he walks to the ring.

The Shield waits for Ryback to make his way to the ring. Ryback sends Ambrose into the ringside barrier. He takes care of Reigns and Rollins. Ryback presses Rollins over his head and drops him on the table and he bounces off of it. Ryback punches Rollins and the Shield get into the crowd and escape.

Big E on Raw oh my God

that was cool but was awesome to see the veterans and also the old mid carders back. I do believe WWE will be bringing back many of them because I remember a story a while ago that they wanted to bring back more mid carders. I expect to see a major change to the line ups in 2013.

Well... damn. Last week's Raw was the worst one in a long time, but they really brought it this week and pulled out everything (and everyone) but the kitchen sink (and The Shockmaster, although they kinda did, with Tensai. :p) Great episode with a lot of actual surprises that weren't, for once, reported on the dirtsheets beforehand.
