KEEP REFRESHING FOR LIVE UPDATES

CM Punk was attacked by Paul Heyman at Money in the Bank. Paul explained why he did it on Raw. Then CM Punk and Brock Lesnar faced off in the ring and around the ring. We also found out that John Cena would be challenging Daniel Bryan at SummerSlam.
We are in Austin, Texas and your announcers are John ‘Deep in the Heart of Texas’ Layfield, Michael ‘What’ Cole, and Jerry ‘I am the once and current King’ Lawler.

Brad Maddox is in the center of the ring and he says that there is no one more Texas than the sheriff of Monday Night Raw . . . him. Brad says that he made the decision to have John Cena choose his opponent for SummerSlam last week. This week, we will have the contract signing.

Brad has a table, so all he needs are the participants in the match.

John Cena makes his way to the ring first.

Brad tells John there is something they need to do before the contract signing. Brad asks John to explain why he chose Daniel Bryan.

Cena made the choice because Brad let him. He could choose anyone and he listened to the WWE Universe so the choice was easy for him.

Brad wants to know why he was certain to pick Bryan. Is it because Cena knows he will beat him or because he is bigger. Brad says that some might say that Daniel is severely unstable. He has relationship issues.

John wants to know if Brad is certain of these allegations.

Daniel Bryan’s music plays and he makes his way to the ring.

Daniel tells Brad it seems as if he is saying that Daniel doesn’t deserve the title match. Daniel tells Brad that the people disagree with him.

Brad asks Daniel if he deserves a title match or if he knows why Cena chose him.

Cena tells Brad if he wants to know why he chose Daniel, he better ask Cena.

Cena says that the people in charge do not often look at God given talent when it is in front of him. He says that you don’t have to be the biggest or strongest to be champion. He tells Brad to give the title to Great Khali if that is the case. Cena says that people like Shawn Michaels, Rey Mysterio, and Eddie Guerrero prove that the title is about more than size and strength.

John says that the WWE Universe loves him, but he chose Daniel because he earned the match and he deserves it. Being a WWE Champion is about facing the absolute best competition at all time. Sometimes that comes from an unlikely source. He picked Daniel, but because he has been given this opportunity, he will not hand him this championship.

John signs the contract and he says that he will be going to SummerSlam to defend his title. He will prove that even the best isn’t good enough.

Daniel signs the contract and Brad cuts off Daniel before he can say anything.

Daniel tells Brad that he does not get to interrupt him. He has waited his entire career for this opportunity and he has proven that he deserves this.

Brad asks Daniel if he deserves it. Brad says that John Cena and some of the fans deserve it. Brad says that he will let Daniel prove the critics wrong by having a match tonight . . . he means matches.

Will Daniel prove himself worthy . . . Brad says no.

We are told that Mark Henry will ‘fire back’ at The Shield.

We are back and CM Punk makes his way to the ring.

Punk says that we should talk about what happened last week. He got his ass handed to him by Brock Lesnar. He grabbed him and rag dolled him and hit him with his best shot over and over and over until Punk was a laying heap at ringside. He knew that he was dealing with a genetically gifted freak athlete. No matter how hard Brock hit him and threw him around, he got up.

We are one week later and he still has thirteen staples in his head. He has messed up ribs and ankle. Maybe he shouldn’t be here, but he is still standing. That is the think about a Brock Lesnar beat down or ambush. Brock can beat him down, but he cannot keep him down.

Brock Lesnar is an NCAA Champion, a former WWE Champion, and a former UFC Heavyweight Champion. A man who broke the likes of Triple H, John Cena, and the Undertaker. Over all of the years and fights, his biggest strength has not been his speed, power, technique, or fighting skill. His biggest strength has always been fear.

Punk says that he has seen it up close. Punk says that he is not afraid of Brock Lesnar. He is not afraid of Paul Heyman’s monster.

Now he wants to talk about Paul Heyman. Paul Heyman had a decision to make and he made the wrong one. He will make sure that Paul lives to regret it each day of his miserable life. He is relentless and he will not stop until he has Brock laying in the heap Brock left him in. He will send Brock back into obscurity.

Punk says that this is his ring. He has proven it every time. He has proven it to Rock, John Cena, and the Undertaker. He would have proven it to Brock Lesnar until the man he called his best friend stabbed him in the back for a second time.

Punk tells Paul that he has a promise for him. There will not be a third time. He will get his hands on Paul and he will pay. Punk says that he will not pretend that Brock is not a monster. Monsters were put on this Earth for one purpose . . . to be slaughtered. He will slay the beast. He wants Brock one-on-one and he will kick his ass at SummerSlam. He wants the Best versus The Beast.

Paul appears on the TitanTron and he repeats The Best versus The Beast and he likes the idea and the marketing.

Punk wants to know if Paul is really via satellite or if he is here because he will grab him by his fat neck and drag him into the ring.

Paul asks Punk if he is going to play hero to the Texans. Thank God that we live in the age of instant global communication so they can give their message and not once have to set foot in the state of Texas. Punk is in front of his new worshipers playing the hero. Paul says ‘Show me a hero and I will show you a coward who ran out of options or a fool who was too stupid to stay down.” Is Punk a coward or a fool?

Punk says that he will give Paul and his client his answer at SummerSlam.

Paul says that it bothers him . . .

Punk says that he wants to know where Paul is because he will walk to kick his ass.

Paul says that it bothers him that Punk doesn’t realize that they were the Reigning and defending champion for 434 days.

His client is in his best fighting shape. Punk is all beaten up from the Money in the Bank ladder match and the heinous beating at the hands of the Beast Incarnate from last week. If CM Punk wants a fight, the challenge for SummerSlam is accepted. Paul says that the Best is the Beast and he is his client and best friend in the world . . . Brock Lesnar.
