May 23 , 2011 Monday Night RAW results The May 23 , 2011 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s RAW brand , which took place on May 23 , 2011 at Rose Garden in Portland , Oregon . A tribute was held for the passing of Randy Savage . It was also 12 years ago since the death of Owen Hart . Summary . R - Truth demonstrated once again that the voices in his head have cranked up the volume . Apparently , though , they ’ re still screaming the same tune . The conspiracy nut continues to blame , well , just about everybody but himself for him not receiving a WWE Title opportunity . This week , he trained his crosshairs on two of WWE ’ s most beloved Superstars , WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart and John Cena . The Excellence of Execution explained that he showed up during last night ’ s Kiss My Foot Match at WWE Over the Limit to make sure Michael Cole experienced “ the agony of de - feet . ” Truth rudely interrupted the WWE Hall of Famer to spout off about all the “ little Jimmys ” in the crowd and refusing to kow - tow to them anymore . The Superstar then took a left turn into Rage Town when WWE Champion John Cena tried to talk sense into his old friend . When Truth finally finished spitting about how he never liked The Champ , Raw ’ s anonymous General Manager arranged the night ’ s main event , a tag team bout pitting Cena & Rey Mysterio against Truth & CM Punk with Hart acting as special guest referee . Look out below ! WWE ’ s towering terrors have fallen . Thanks to shifty interference by New Nexus leader CM Punk , WWE Tag Team Champions Big Show & Kane dropped the titles to David Otunga & Michael McGillicutty . Their title reign kicks off just one night after Punk & Mason Ryan failed to capture the titles themselves at WWE Over the Limit . Prior to that bout , Big Show & Kane staged a preemptive strike on the New Nexus , leveling Otunga and McGillicutty in the locker room . In retaliation , Ryan distracted the referee while The Second City Savior , who had been on commentary , kicked Big Show in the back of the head to fell the two redwoods and help his disciples capture the prestigious titles . After watching Big Show & Kane lose their WWE Tag Team Titles to David Otunga & Michael McGillicutty , Alberto Del Rio just couldn ’ t help himself . The Mexican Aristocrat had to rub the loss in their faces . His attitude - and a slap - prompted Big Show to give chase , but when The World ’ s Largest Athlete rounded a corner in the parking lot , Del Rio ’ s personal ring announcer , Ricardo Rodriguez “ accidentally ” ran over his leg with one of his boss ’ luxury autos . Nobody likes a sore winner , and Evan Bourne is no exception . The high - flyer faced off against Jack Swagger and proved he wasn ’ t about to let a little height advantage deter him . He went straight at The All - American American , nailing a bull ’ s - eye onto Swagger ’ s midsection . Michael Cole ’ s former trainer , however , would not be denied . After the win , The All - American American took a condescending victory lap , prompting Bourne to knock his egotistical opponent out of the ring . With rat tail tucked squarely between his legs , Michael Cole skulked down the entrance ramp to the announce table . He offered his humble apologies to his broadcast colleagues , including Jerry Lawler , just one night after losing to the WWE Hall of Famer in a Kiss My Foot Match at WWE Over the Limit . He also promised a more professional attitude and an end to the Cole Mine . And you think you ’ ve got a bad boss ? After all Alex Riley ’ s done for The Miz , the guy deserves a raise . Instead , he received nothing but contempt in the wake of his boss ’ loss to WWE Champion John Cena at WWE Over the Limit . The Cleveland Screamer angrily placed the blame for his loss at Riley ’ s feet , insulting him and asking the anonymous Raw GM for another title match . When he was denied , Miz took his anger out on Riley , firing him with extreme prejudice . A . Ri could only take so much unwarranted grief until , finally , he snapped . After Miz canned him , Riley unleashed weeks of pent - up rage against his former boss , attacking him and leaving him shamed in the ring . Disgruntled ? Ya ' think ? Before the Eight - Diva Tag Team Match could conclude , Kharma underwent the Charlie Sheen of meltdowns . As Kelly Kelly , Eve , Beth Phoenix & Gail Kim clashed with The Bella Twins , Maryse & Melina , Kharma ’ s entrance music dropped , freezing her fellow Divas in fear . As the braided behemoth slid into the ring , her eight fellow Divas lined up on the opposite side of the canvas . Rather than chaos , however , there was collapse . Kharma unexpectedly dropped to her knees and began balling uncontrollably . Kofi Kingston never looked so good . The Dreadlock Dynamo worked through a painful leg injury he suffered early in the match and landed a litany of jaw - dropping jumps and a series of shut - your - mouth strikes in his victorious match against Drew McIntyre . There was something more , though . Kofi sported yellow , spider - themed trunks and kickpads created by six - year old Luke M . of Alberta , Canada , who won the WWE Kids Magazine ' s first - ever “ Draw a Superstar ’ s Gear ” contest . Awesome job , Luke ! WWE Champion John Cena was clearly pained a night after suffering one of the worst pummelings of his career . Fresh off an “ I Quit ” Match against The Miz at WWE Over the Limit , The Champ was tapped to join Rey Mysterio in a tag team match against CM Punk & R - Truth with Bret Hart acting as special guest referee . Despite a hard - charging effort by both Truth and his pious partner , Cena refused to let his battered and bruised body lie still . The Champ kicked out of sure pins and fought back with dogged determination . But even Cena ’ s steel - belted body has its limits . It would be up to WWE ’ s Littlest Big Man to carry the day for his team – a tall order he would fill with Herculian effort . Rey capitalized on his elusive build and high - flying frame to hobble both Truth & Punk within seconds of one another . He then nailed Punk with a 619 , but Hart wasn ’ t about to let him have all the fun . The WWE Hall of Famer , fed up with Punk ’ s in - ring antics , belted The Second City Savior across the jaw and locked him in the Sharpshooter , allowing Rey to pin his shoulders for the victory .
