RAW Results - 19th August, 2013
Live From: Anaheim, CA,
Announcers - Jerry "The King" Lawler, JBL, Michael Cole

CM Punk and Brock Lesnar met in a No Disqualification Match and they made sure that they gave the fans a lot of things that could have warranted disqualifications. In the end, Paul Heyman was able to help Brock Lesnar survive and get the victory. Last night saw the crowning of a new WWE Champion and during the celebration . . . we saw the crowning of a new WWE Champion when Randy Orton cashed in his briefcase, with a little help from his friends. The situation is showing its Evolution, but will Daniel Bryan be able to evolve into a position where he can regain his WWE Championship?
We are in Anaheim, California and your announcers are Michael ‘In the land of Mickey Mouse’ Cole, Jerry ‘Is Total Divas the new O.C.’ Lawler, and John ‘Ring of Mouse Ears’ Layfield.

John Cena makes his way to the ring. He says that it is early on the west coast but everyone is rowdy. Cena says that he is disgusted at what happened during SummerSlam. Despite agreeing with the fans, the fans chant ‘Cena Sucks’. John says that when he was the champion, the next person to win the title would earn it and Daniel Bryan earned it at SummerSlam.

John thanks Daniel Bryan for bringing out the best in him. For reminding him that a WWE Superstar should not be judged on race, creed, or appearance. They should be judged by what they do in the ring. John says that they don’t always see eye to eye, but they share the same passion in the ring. John says that is why he picked Daniel Bryan.

John says that people told him that he should not wrestle. John says that he has a torn tricep and he was told to have surgery and that the match at SummerSlam would be cancelled. John says that he is not using it as an excuse. He was beaten last night by a better man in a clean fight. Cena says that he wanted a clean fight and when he was in the training room, some yokel asked him if he saw Triple H hand the WWE Championship to Randy Orton.

John says that he was disgusted, offended, and disgraced. John says that he cannot hold off the surgery any longer. He says that he will be getting himself healthy over the next 4 to 6 months. John wants to bring out a man who has earned his respect. John says that he is a man who we can all agree has earned the right to be called champion. John brings out Daniel Bryan.

Daniel makes his way onto the stage and he walks to the ring without any flourish.

John hands Daniel the mic and he leaves the ring.

Daniel looks around and the crowd chants for him.

Before Daniel can say anything, Stephanie McMahon’s music plays and she makes her way to the ring. She tells Daniel that she is sorry. Last night, Daniel had a hard fought victory and he won the title clean in the middle of the ring and he deserved it. He did not deserve to have that victory snatched from him.

Her husband, Triple H, did what was best for business since he is the COO.

Daniel repeats the ‘Best for Business’ line. It seems like some people disagree as to what is best for business. He expects that from Stephanie and her father, but Triple H was a rebel and renegade. He was the leader of Degeneration X. Now, he is wearing a suit, has a corporate hair cut. It must be true that when you lie down with trash, sooner or later, you start to stink.

Stephanie says that she knows why Daniel is upset and she will let it slide.

Daniel is excited that Stephanie will ‘let it slide’. He asks her if she will fire him. He will go back to wrestling in armories and selling t-shirts in the back of his car. Before he leaves, he is going to get his money’s worth. He doesn’t care if it is her snake husband or Randy Orton, he will really really really really give her a reason to fire him.

Stephanie says that the anger management issues are messing with his mind. Stephanie says that they think that Daniel is very talented. He is the ultimate underdog and the fabric of the WWE. Stephanie says that the people don’t understand business and they don’t know who the face of the company should be. Daniel is maybe 5’ 8” and 200 pounds. The WWE Universe clearly loves him and he has a place here. Daniel might not be an ‘A’, but he is a ‘B+’ . . . a solid B+.

Daniel says that Stephanie is reminding him of a word that starts with B. Daniel says that he knows that Stephanie is out here to rationalize her husband’s behavior, but he does not have to accept it. Daniel says that he does not have to agree to being in the middle of the card. He knows that he can be WWE Champion and he doesn’t care what she thinks.

Daniel takes the mic from Stephanie and throws it out of the ring. Stephanie gets another mic and she tells Daniel to calm down. She refuses to be intimidated by the likes of him. He is being unprofessional and uncouth. She wants security to come to the ring and she tells them to escort Daniel from the building. She tells Daniel he has no one to blame but himself.

Daniel leaves the ring and then he turns around at the top of the stage and he starts a No chant.
