RAW Results - 6th May, 2012
Location - Roanoke, VA
Announcers - Jerry "The King" Lawler, JBL, Michael Cole
We move a week closer to Extreme Rules and what will happen when Paul Heyman plays ‘Bring your Beast to his opponent’s work’? Is John Cena going to be healthy enough to make it to the pay per view? What will the Shield do to top their last few weeks with the Undertaker and Kane?
Earlier today, Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman went to Titan Towers. What happened when they entered the inner sanctum of the Game’s office? What is next for John Cena and Ryback? Will Cena get a matching leather jacket in case they have to be tag team partners before Extreme Rules?
We are in Roanoke, Virginia and your announcers are Michael ‘Bolton’ Cole, John ‘Peter Gibbons’ Layfield, and Jerry ‘Milton Waddams’ Lawler.
John Cena makes his way to the ring but he does not have the usual pep in his step. He says that you can sense the unrest in the WWE Universe. It has been a week full of unrest and questions. John says that he will answer those questions using the playbook of Daniel Bryan.
YES . . . competing in the main event of Raw was probably not a great decision for his heel.
NO . . . it will not stop him from defending his title against Ryback at Extreme Rules.
YES . . . after Ryback refused to compete and standing on the stage at the end of the show, he does not know what his plans are.
YES . . . Ryback is ready to DTF. . . do the Fandango.
The photo with Betty White was photoshopped.
He says that he is not a teacher, lawyer, or doctor, he is the current WWE Champion. As long as he is medically cleared, his job is to get in this ring every single week and do his best. Is he 100%, he hasn’t been 100% since 2002. That will not stop him from defending his WWE Championship.
Vickie Guerrero excuse mes her way to the ring.
She tells John that she is so excited that he will be defending the title at Extreme Rules. This pay per view will not be ordinary . . . it will be Extreme. Triple H will face Brock Lesnar in a Steel Cage match. Dolph Ziggler will be defending his title in a Triple Threat Ladder Match. The WWE Title match will also be extreme. She says that she would never choose a stipulation that would affect the champion and the challenger.
Ryback makes his way to the ring.
John will get to select his stipulation for the match with Ryback. John says that he has so many options. He says the winner should be the person who runs out of the arena like a scared girl. Instead, why not make it a whine off. Cena mocks Ryback.
He says that he doesn’t care if it is a Vickie Guerrero Granny Panties on a Pole Match . . . and then he reconsiders. He wants a chance to fight and shut up the world’s largest complainer.
Vickie tells Ryback that she did not appreciate him walking out of the match last week. Now Ryback gets to pick the stipulation.
Ryback says that throwing away the chance to make the stipulation is extremely stupid.
Cena shows that his foot does not hurt him as much as Ryback thinks.
Ryback says that he is not fighting Cena tonight and he tells him to take it easy. He is smart enough to walk away from a fight when the timing is wrong. It is ironic that his Achilles heel is his Achilles heel. Cena’s real Achilles heel is his ego and pride. After Extreme Rules, everyone will know that Ryback Rules.
The match will be Last Man Standing.
Michael Cole reminds us of the situation involving Brock Lesnar, Paul Heyman, and the WWE Headquarters.

When Brock decides to hurt someone or lead a path of destruction, he is the one who pleads and tells Brock to stop to consider the legal cost of the defense.
Triple H stepped into it. Hunter hit him with a pedigree on world wide television. This is his response. He is no longer going to discourage Brock Lesnar, he is going to encourage Brock Lesnar. He is going to beg Brock to hurt Triple H inside the steel cage. He is going to plead with his client to exploit the opportunity only an old school steel cage can do . . . to maim Triple H.

Hunter makes his way to the ring and he looks at Paul on the TitanTron.
Hunter tells Paul they might want to bring the guy with the mic to fix Paul’s hair. He wants to know if Paul ever opens his mouth without a lot of crap coming out. Paul knows something about ‘extreme’? Hunter says that he knows about Extreme. He was a founding father of Degeneration X. He knocked Paul’s monster out cold at Wrestlemania.
Hunter says that he is not buying that Paul decided to go to Stamford because he thought Hunter would be there. Everyone knows that Hunter is at Raw.
Hunter tells Paul to shut up. He says that Paul and Brock can tear up his office and intimidate innocent office people. He has two offices. He has the one that Paul tore up and Hunter has his other office. He is standing in that office. Hunter says this office has one hell of a view. He says that this office is more like his home. This is where he grew up and became a man, something Brock never became. He tells Paul to tell Brock to say it to his face.
Hunter says that he is not real hard to find. If Brock is thinking he can come into this office and do what he did to his other office, they fight back in this office.
We go to commercial.

Sheamus shows no respect to the exhibits in the Hall of Pain and he makes his way to the ring doing his Celtic pose, like Mark said he would do.
Sheamus wants to know how Mark is doing. He says that he came out here, not because Mark asked him to come out, it was because the video left half of it out. We know what Mark do, but do they know what Sheamus do?
Mark says that Sheamus isn’t serious about anything and he tells Sheamus to be serious when they meet at Extreme Rules.
Sheamus says that he is relaxed, but when the bell rings, he is all business. At Extreme Rules, the business is all Mark.

This is where he grew up and became a man, something Brock never became. He tells Paul to tell Brock to say it to his face.
