December 2 , 2013 Monday Night RAW results The December 2 , 2013 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s RAW brand , which took on December 2 , 2013 at the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City , Oklahoma . Summary . It may have been a while since CM Punk dropped a pipe bomb , but that doesn ’ t mean the scruffy savior of The Second City has lost his particular touch for poking the corporate hornet ’ s nest . In fact , Punk arrived in the Boomer Sooner State with a proverbial bang in the form of a verbal assault on The Authority for their supposed involvement in The Shield ’ s attack the previous week ( retribution , Punk said , for his off - the - cuff insult toward Triple H ) . While Stephanie McMahon and Kane took issue with the accusation that they had ordered such a strike , they did come up with an on - the - spot ruling in the name of business when The Hounds of Justice emerged – to the apparent surprise of everyone – for yet another go at the former WWE Champion : A 3 - on - 1 Handicap Match between Punk and The Shield at WWE TLC : Tables , Ladders & Chairs . Dolph Ziggler and Damien Sandow have made waves over the last few weeks thanks to a pair of outrageous stipulation matches , and their third confrontation carried the most important wrinkle of them all : The winner would become No . 1 contender for Big E Langston ’ s Intercontinental Title . Sadly for Ziggler , The Showoff ’ s confrontation with his former protégé will have to wait , as Sandow prevailed for the second week and punched his ticket to battle the big man at WWE TLC . Despite Ziggler ’ s passionate play for the No . 1 spot , the increasingly unhinged Sandow swarmed The Showoff from the beginning to reclaim a significant amount of pride and prestige following his failed Money in the Bank cash - in . Ziggler had The Enlightened One perfectly scouted , dodging most of Sandow ’ s signature attacks to bring himself within a hair ’ s breadth of winning . Ultimately , Sandow was the better man by a hair , catching Ziggler off guard and planting him with “ You ’ re Welcome ” before sharing a long , tense staredown with Langston at the commentary table . It was not the easiest of evenings for AJ Lee . Not only did the reigning Divas Champion skip her way through a Six - Diva Tag Match and leave her teammates to do the dirty work , but she suffered dearly when the time came for her to throw down in the ring . AJ ’ s involvement seemed unnecessary in the beginning thanks to Tamina Snuka & Summer Rae ’ s strong opening strike against The Bella Twins . Things went south for the champion ’ s team after Natalya entered the fray ; AJ quickly tagged in for a desperate Summer Rae and the bout quickly slipped out of control . The Bellas helped to neutralize Tamina , who attempted to interfere on the champion ’ s behalf , and Natalya did the rest , rolling up AJ for a pin while she looked for a partner to tag . Given the comparatively low stakes of the match , AJ ’ s nonchalant reaction was somewhat understandable … though that may not be the case after TLC . Vindication belongs to The Beard … at least for now . Seven days after his ominous abduction at the hands of The Wyatt Family , Daniel Bryan battled his way to payback against the trio ’ s resident monster , Erick Rowan . It looked more than a little hairy for the former WWE Champion for a while , though , thanks to the monstrous ferocity of his towering abductor . Bryan ’ s attempts to whittle away at Rowan with kicks went nowhere fast , as the big man cut Bryan ’ s berserker offense short with earth - shaking power strikes . Muscled into a no - win situation , Bryan had no choice but to wait out the onslaught and pick his opportunities when they came , and the submission master did just that , forcing Rowan into the defensive at the 11th hour and claiming victory with an out - of - nowhere roll - up pin . Bryan ’ s celebration was short - lived , though , when Bray Wyatt himself appeared on the TitanTron and delivered a skin - crawling address to the former Tag Team Champion commanding Bryan to " open his eyes . " One can only assume the worst will follow should Bryan refuse . Xavier Woods continued his hot streak since debuting as R - Truth ’ s latest comrade , though the doctor ’ s dominant debut seems to have caused tons of tension between him and WWE ’ s resident boogieing big man , Brodus Clay . Lingering disagreements between the two led to this encore of the teams ’ SmackDown match , and Truth & Woods followed through with a repeat win in high style . Brodus seemed apt on making a point early on by manhandling the " rookie " Woods at the outset , though Truth later turned the tables and tagged in Woods . The Ph . D . candidate made good on his potential by pinning The Funkasaurus with a roll - up after dodging a top - rope splash . It was all Tensai could do to stop Brodus from attacking Woods after the match , though Brodus didn ’ t seem to appreciate the peace - making gesture very much . “ Mexico ’ s Greatest Export ” found himself stunned by an International Sensation when Sin Cara returned to action and knocked off Alberto Del Rio in a stunning collision between two national treasures . Sin Cara looked fresh and fast in his return to Raw , making Del Rio pay for his pre - match arrogance with his signature high - flying . The Essence of Excellence was ready to put the match away with a Cross Armbreaker but Sin Cara stayed alive by writhing free of the hold , sealing the match with a soaring senton for a rousing comeback win . The Shield made their first statement before facing CM Punk at WWE TLC , knocking off The Rhodes Brothers & Big Show in a tremendous Six - Man Tag Match on Raw , though the win was hard - fought by any measure . The Hounds found themselves in the doghouse early on thanks to a tremendous start from Big Show ; it took an impeccably - timed strike to Cody Rhodes ’ arm by Dean Ambrose to give The Shield their first advantage of the bout . With Cody one - armed and isolated , The Shield gained control until Show tagged back in , though The Shield ’ s teamwork instinct kicked in and Ambrose stopped the giant short by sending him over the top rope , making Show the second victim of the numbers game . A chokeslam to Roman Reigns opened the door for Goldust , but The Bizarre One ’ s innovative attempt to superplex an interfering Ambrose onto a prone Seth Rollins backfired when Rollins – the legal man – dodged the move and rolled up Goldust for the win . Not only did Ryback & Curtis Axel rebound from a rough week to make a strong mark in the tag team ranks , but Kofi ’ s latest attempt to make nice with The Miz ended , once again , in embarrassment for the former U . S . Champion . The two rivals had initially agreed to put their budding differences aside against the former Paul Heyman Guys , and the friendship paid dividends in the early moments of the match . Miz & Kofi kept things even against Axel , yet when the former Intercontinental Champion tagged in his partner , Ryback proved to be the difference despite a rough start against Kofi . The Human Wrecking Ball picked up steam as the match went on , knocking Miz off the apron and finishing the night off with Shell Shocked to The Boom Squad General . While Ryback & Axel gloated their way up the ramp , more drama unfolded in the ring as The Awesome One helped Kofi to his feet … and promptly slapped him square across the face . There won ’ t be any dancing for Fandango anytime soon ; the fleet - footed Superstar rumba ’ d his way straight into The Hall of Pain when Mark Henry came a - callin ’ , suffering a pulverizing defeat at the hands of the resurgent World ’ s Strongest Man only a week after Henry ’ s return to action . Fandango attempted to dance his way out of trouble by distracting Henry with his famous moves . No dice . Henry ran roughshod over Fandango ( pausing only to shake his moneymaker for Summer Rae ) almost without interruption , battling a brief comeback from Fandango to claim the win with the World ’ s Strongest Slam . Now here ’ s a result to really make Titus O ’ Neil sick : The Prime Time Players – just days removed from a gut - busting ( literally ) incident on SmackDown – rolled into Raw in high spirits and received a thrashing from The Real Americans on Raw in a match that left Zeb Colter smiling for the first time in a week . The Americans controlled the pace from the get - go thanks to Jack Swagger , who softened Titus up for his second Cesaro Swing in four days . Zeb Colter cut the famous maneuver short , however , for fear of a repeat of Friday ' s gastrointestinal catastrophe . Yet while Titus reached Darren Young before he could lose his lunch , the fresh “ Mr . No Days Off ” couldn ’ t rally to save his team ’ s chances . Despite a strong showing by Young , the former U . S . Champion Cesaro put The Players to bed by knocking D . Young out of the sky with a European uppercut for three . It is a guarantee that WWE TLC will end with one champion between John Cena and Randy Orton . Who that will be , however , has never been murkier following the longtime rivals ’ tense contract signing at the conclusion of Raw . The tension appeared to settle at a simmer throughout the course of the historic signing , but cooler heads ultimately failed to prevail when both competitors were allowed to speak . Orton ’ s pontificating earned him an uncommonly ferocious response from The Champ , who snarled that The Viper never lived up to his potential and challenged Orton to “ step up or step aside . ” The Apex Predator chose the former and made a move on The Champ , although Orton got his licks in when he turned a steel chair on Cena , The Champ got the last laugh when he turned the tables ( literally ) on The Viper and sent him tumbling through a table with an Attitude Adjustment . The Champ is here , and the match is on .
