April 9 , 2012 Monday Night RAW results The April 9 , 2012 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s RAW brand , which will take place on April 9 , 2012 at Verizon Center in Washington , D . C . . Summary . Raw GM John Laurinaitis came out to introduce Brock Lesnar , proclaiming that he ' s the new face of WWE , and announced that Lesnar will face Cena at Extreme Rules on April 29 . Lesnar thanked Laurinaitis for having the wisdom to bring " legitimacy " back to WWE , but that statement didn ' t sit right with John Cena , who quickly charged out to the ring for a heated staredown with the very man who laid him out with a brutal F - 5 the previous week on Raw . The Cenation leader proceeded to slap Brock in the face , triggering a near - uncontrollable brawl . Pandemonium broke loose and the WWE locker room emptied as over a dozen Superstars and Officials tried to pull the two competitors off each other . It took repeated efforts to stop Brock and Cena from pounding each other to bits as the Verizon Center erupted . Cena suffered a nasty bloodied lip as a result of the wild melee with Lesnar . Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger gained early momentum by teaming up to overwhelm the greener duo . But the sheer power of Brodus Clay was too much to hold at bay for long , and The Funkasaurus got the pinfall on Dolph Ziggler following a heaping helping of … Ah Funk It ! After the match , Brodus borrowed a page out of U . S . Champion Santino Marella ' s moves and celebrated the victory with a funky trombone dance . Oh , how the tables have turned . Cody Rhodes , who terrorized Big Show for weeks prior to their WrestleMania match , is now being shadowed by The World ' s Largest Athlete . Shortly into Cody ' s match against R - Truth , the new Intercontinental Champion interrupted the contest to poke fun at Rhodes with a photo of him getting drilled by a Knockout Punch at WrestleMania . The distraction led to R - Truth scoring an easy victory – and left Cody fuming in defeat . For the second straight time , a WWE Official had to intervene to stop Lord Tensai from ruthlessly pummeling his opponent into the mat . Yoshi Tatsu , who recently made some disparaging remarks about Tensai , felt the wrath of WWE ' s new , dominant Superstar as Tensai crushed him repeatedly with an assortment of power moves . Before the match , CM Punk defended his straight - edge lifestyle in an emotional address to the WWE Universe . Punk admitted that he felt violated by Chris Jericho ' s disturbing act of drenching him with alcohol and smashing the bottle over his head on last week ' s Raw . Before Punk could speak any further , though , Jericho interrupted on the TitanTron and mocked The Straight Edge Superstar for getting so emotional over experiencing his first " bender . " Punk fired back , saying Jericho can ' t break him , and that he would only bring out the more dangerous side of the WWE Champion . Punk ' s match against Mark Henry was short - lived , as Punk grabbed a TV monitor and attacked The World ' s Strongest Man , resulting in a victory for Henry via disqualification . Henry then exacted his revenge with a World ' s Strongest Slam and Jericho seized the opportunity to ambush The Straight Edge Superstar by surprise – with six - packs of beer in hand . Jericho broke open can after can of beer , and despite The Straight Edge Champion ' s best efforts to stop him , Punk was soaked with the alcohol . All the while , Jericho continued to taunt Punk , urging him to " have some more , " before drilling him with a Codebreaker as he posed with the WWE Championship . On next week ' s Raw SuperShow , Punk will once again put his title on the line against Mark Henry . But this time , it will be in a No Count - Out , No Disqualification Match . Alberto Del Rio is wasting no time asserting himself in his return to WWE . Zack Ryder put up a good fight and landed a Broski Boot right on the money to Del Rio ' s jaw , but The Mexican Aristocrat took control of the contest in a flash and made him tap out with a Cross Armbreaker . Curly joined the other two Stooges in the ring to do his best Hulk Hogan impression , complete with the red - and - yellow getup and lots of spray - tan . Kane , however , was not impressed at all . The Big Red Machine came to the ring and gave Curly a crushing chokeslam as Larry and Moe scurried away . It looks like Kane is out to destroy anyone in his path – even Stooges ! – following his loss to Randy Orton on SmackDown last week . Cena didn ' t let a busted lip slow him down in the main event of Raw SuperShow . Still bleeding from the mouth following his brawl with Lesnar at the beginning of Raw , Cena withstood David Otunga ' s powerful punches and clotheslines , then mounted a big comeback while Otunga wasted too much time posing for the crowd . The Cenation leader nailed Otunga with a Five - Knuckle Shuffle and an Attitude Adjustment before finishing him off with the STF . As Cena had his hand raised in victory , though , Lesnar snuck up from behind and brought Cena down with a low blow , then sent him flying with another devastating F - 5 for the second week in a row . It ' s apparent that the self - proclaimed " War Machine " will stop at nothing to claim the top spot in his impactful return to WWE . And at this rate , these two rivals appear ready to tear each other to shreds before they even get to square off at Extreme Rules on April 29 .
