April 16 , 2012 Monday Night RAW results The April 16 , 2012 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s RAW brand , which took place on April 16 , 2012 at O2 Arena in London , England . Summary . In their third meeting in as many weeks , WWE Champion CM Punk put his title on the line against Mark Henry in London in a No Count - Out , No Disqualification Match . With both Superstars taking full advantage of the match stipulation , they went to war . At one point , Punk acquired a steel chair and blasted Henry with a thunderous shot to the midsection . But when The Straight Edge Superstar went for another shot , Henry countered with a big boot to the gut and smashed him with the chair . As their battle waged on , the champion avoided a World ’ s Strongest Slam with a kick to the head then a running high knee . But when Henry battled back and charged at Punk in the corner , he ran headfirst into a steel chair when Punk ducked out of the way . With The World ’ s Strongest Man down , Punk leaped from the top rope and bashed Henry with steel chair to retain his WWE Championship . After CM Punk ’ s successful title defense against Mark Henry , Chris Jericho revealed the two would square off at Extreme Rules in a Chicago Street Fight . Jericho then accused Punk of drinking earlier in the day at a London pub . Punk vehemently denied Jericho ’ s claim and urged Jericho to come to ring and smell his breath . After calling Punk ’ s straight edge lifestyle a façade , Jericho declared that Punk is gong to lose his WWE Championship at Extreme Rules . Before Punk could respond , Jericho vanished from the arena screen . In a fight between former WrestleMania tag team captains , Santino ’ s United States Championship was up for grabs . Early in the bout , it looked like Otunga was about to pin Santino and capture the title , but Santino cleverly put his leg on the ropes to break the hold . Later , following the quick thinking move , Santino relied on his trusty Cobra to down Otunga and preserve his title . In an exclusive interview with WWE , Brock Lesnar recalled the successes he ’ s enjoy in high school and college athletics , all the way through WWE and UFC . The three - time – and youngest WWE Champion ever – said he ’ s back in WWE because beating people up makes him happy . He ’ ll have his chance when he squares off with John Cena at Extreme Rules in a no - disqualification , no count - out Extreme Rules Match . Before their match even began , Kane kicked Zack Ryder in the head and sent him flying from the ring and onto the announce table . The Big Red Monster then proceeded to pummel Ryder and add insult to injury with a brutal chokeslam . Ryder never stood a chance against The Big Red Machine . After the carnage , Kane recalled attacking Randy Orton and his father last week on SmackDown . “ I expected your old man to go down without a fight , but who ’ d of ever thought that The Viper would be so easy , ” he said . Concerned that his WrestleMania loss could have been the end of his era , John Cena emphatically declared that he will fight Brock Lesnar at Extreme Rules and overcome any fear he has of him . To give everyone a taste of what is to come in what he calls the “ People Power ” era , Raw and Smackdown General Manager John Laurinaitis announced John Cena would face a mystery opponent in an Extreme Rules Match on Raw Supershow . The GM also revealed there will be an Extreme Rules contract signing between John Cena and Brock Lesnar during next Mondays special three - hour Raw SuperShow starting at 8 / 7 CT on USA Network . Before his match , Daniel Bryan announced that he was renaming the LeBell Lock the “ Yes ! ” Lock . And when the right moment presented itself – with Kofi Kingston reeling from a missed leap from the top rope – Bryan eagerly locked in his newly named maneuver , forcing Kofi to tap out . Afterward , adding insult to injury , Bryan locked in his hold yet again . Hoping to get a piece of him , World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus charged in and went for the Brogue Kick , but could not connect with the former champion . Brodus Clay made a grand entrance by dancing his way to the ring with the Funkettes . Vickie Guerrero then heralded in Dolph Ziggler . When Jack Swagger interfered in the bout , it ended in an immediate disqualification . After the chaotic ending , Vickie found herself standing sandwiched between Clay and Naomi . Clearly uncomfortable with her position , she high - tailed it out of the ring . That was the perfect queue for Clay and the Brodus and the Funkettes to engage in a celebratory dance . With AW watching from the entrance ramp , The Great Khali started by battling Epico . After Epico took a big boot to the face , Rosa and the tag team champions tried to flee the scene , perhaps knowing that was only the start of more suffering . But Big Show had other plans and tossed both tag team champions back into the ring for a pair of Khali Chops . A Big Show chokeslam and Punjabi Plunge finished off both champions for a double cover . On next Monday ’ s three - hour Raw SuperShow special , John Cena and Brock Lesnar will step into the ring to sign the contract for their Extreme Rules match . What will transpire when these two warriors step in the ring together ? Tune in at a special start time of 8 / 7 CT on USA Network . With anticipation about who John Cena would face in the Extreme Rules Match , John Laurinaitis revealed it would be one of WWE ’ s most destructive forces – Lord Tensai . Looking on from ringside , Laurinaitis and David Otunga watched Cena battle the dangerous 350 - pounder . As the two fought tooth - and - nail , Cena countered one of Tensai ’ s moves and tossed him over his back and onto the arena floor in an impressive show of strength . With Tensai feeling the effects of being slammed , Cena used the steel ring steeps to bash Tensai . Then , Mr . Sakamoto inserted himself into the action and attacked Cena . Following up , Otunga tossed Cena back into ring . Engaged in back and forth show of brute strength , it looked like Tensai finally had Cena where he wanted when he dropped his crushing weight onto him … but Cena kept fighting . When Cena had the STF locked in on Tensai , Otunga charged to be met with Attitude Adjustment . Then in a stunning ending , Tensai sprayed Cena in the eyes with a stinging , green mist then delivered a massive powerbomb to preserve his undefeated streak . With his eyes still burning , Cena was attended to by a WWE doctor after the match .
