March 26 , 2012 Monday Night RAW results The March 26 , 2012 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s RAW brand , which took place on March 26 , 2012 at Philips Arena in Atlanta , Georgia . Summary . World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan and Kane made big statements in a Tag Team Match with WrestleMania implications . The duo of Bryan and Kane looked impressive in defeating Sheamus and Randy Orton , as Bryan wore down The Great White with punishing kicks and Kane inflicted some painful strikes on The Viper . But it was some timely distraction from Bryan ' s girlfriend , AJ , which ultimately threw Sheamus off his game when he tried to deliver a Brogue Kick , and allowed Bryan to capitalize for the pinfall following a chokeslam from Kane on The Great White . Will Orton and Sheamus be able to get retribution and win when it matters most in Miami ? Before the match , announcers Michael Cole and Booker T made their allegiances clear for the battle between Team Johnny and Team Teddy , with Cole introducing Interim Raw GM John Laurinaitis and Booker T siding with SmackDown GM Teddy Long . David Otunga took early control of the match and did some bragging mid - match by waving the Team Johnny Flag , before Hornswoggle interfered provided the perfect opening for Santino to strike with The Cobra . After the contest , Santino got on all fours as Long pushed Laurinaitis over him . As Laurinaitis steamed , The Miz ran out to seize the opportunity to stick up for the Interim Raw GM and hit the Skull Crushing Finale on Santino . Clearly impressed by The Awesome One ' s defense , Laurinaitis named The Miz as the final member of Team Johnny at WrestleMania XXVIII . The Miz is going to WrestleMania , after all ! It looks like Eve has a new best friend – one that ' s toting some championship gold over her shoulder . Divas Champion Beth Phoenix proudly accompanied Eve to the ring for her match with Kelly Kelly — a prelude to the Tag Team Match that will take place on April 1 between Kelly and " Extra " host Maria Menounos against Eve and Beth . Perhaps brimming with a little too much confidence , Eve missed the mark with her signature moonsault from the top rope and Kelly Kelly took advantage for the victory . You can bet it ' ll be a tougher challenge once the Divas Champion is awaiting the tag in Eve ' s corner at WrestleMania . Just when you thought CM Punk ' s rivalry with Chris Jericho couldn ' t get any more personal , Jericho makes sure it does . Before Punk squared off with Christian , The Straight Edge Superstar got another heated video message from Jericho , who appeared live via satellite on the TitanTron . Jericho proceeded to make personal remarks about Punk ' s birth , alleging that it occurred before his parents ' wedding date , and claiming that makes Punk " the legal definition of a bastard . " Christian tried to make a surprise attack on Punk from behind , but it was the enraged WWE Champion who quickly took out his aggression on Captain Charisma . Punk had to be separated by WWE officials after he repeatedly smashed Christian into the announce table , then refused to let go of the painful Anaconda Vise . It ' s become very apparent that Jericho has gotten inside Punk ' s head . The question is whether or not it will work to Jericho ' s benefit for their " Best in the World " clash at WrestleMania . UPDATE : Christian re - aggravated his neck injury due to Punk ' s attack , and has been ruled medically unable to compete at WrestleMania . The funk train keeps on rolling ! Brodus Clay made quick work of Curt Hawkins with an assortment of power moves , then showed off his assortment of booty - shaking dance moves for the Atlanta crowd . Big Show didn ' t waste any time dealing with the much smaller Primo . The World ' s Largest Athlete laid out one half of the WWE Tag Team Champions with a crushing chokeslam , and then delivered a chokeslam to his partner Epico for good measure . After the match , Cody Rhodes again mocked Big Show , who tried to go after the Intercontinental Champion as soon as he appeared on the entrance way . Cody claimed that Big Show will be the " biggest fool " on April Fool ' s Day – the same date as WrestleMania XXVIII . We ' ll soon find out if Rhodes is able to back up all the trash talking he ' s done over the past few weeks . Another vignette showing the mysterious Lord Tensai aired The WWE Universe got another glimpse of Lord Tensai in a second vignette — this one including Japanese phrases scattered throughout . More questions are left unanswered , but it ' ll certainly be interesting to see if additional clues are revealed in weeks to come . It ' s no wonder he ' s known as The World ' s Strongest Man . Team Johnny member Mark Henry overpowered Team Teddy member The Great Khali with a major exclamation point – a remarkable World ' s Strongest Slam on The Punjabi Giant . Henry didn ' t stop there , though . The mighty Superstar prepared to pancake SmackDown GM Teddy Long before the other members of Team Teddy interfered , and Team Johnny wasn ' t far behind as the two squads engaged in an all - out brawl . Right as Henry was about to drop Long with the World ' s Strongest Slam , Booker T made the surprise save . Long then thanked Booker by offering him the final spot on Team Teddy at WrestleMania . Booker accepted the invite with a smile – and a Spinaroonie ! Keeping with his theme of history lessons , The Rock took the Atlanta crowd down memory lane and reminded them of his electrifying appearance at WrestleMania XXVII in the Georgia Dome one year ago . The Great One said there ' s only one man that the millions – and millions – wanted The Great One to face at WrestleMania , and that ' s John Cena . It wouldn ' t take long for his WrestleMania opponent to interrupt , as Cena came out to the ring to stop The Rock before he got any further with his verbal assault . Cena noted The Rock is great at talking trash , but he definitely isn ' t the first to do so , and that every time someone tries to rip the leader of Cenation , he rises above the hate . Cena went on to say that he ' s been an active member of WWE longer than The Rock , and unlike The Great One , he ' s stuck with WWE in both good times and bad . Cena said the WWE Universe knows that he has to win this match , because his entire life is riding on it . The Rock answered by explaining why he knows he needs to win , and that he ' s driven by the fact that he can cement his legacy as the greatest WWE Superstar of all time by defeating Cena at WrestleMania . On a personal level , The Great One said he just doesn ' t like Cena and promised him the ass - kicking of a lifetime . Cena closed with some final heated words before dropping the mic as the two rivals exchanged fiery staredowns nose to nose .
