October 29 , 2012 Monday Night RAW results The October 29 , 2012 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s RAW brand , which took place on October 29 , 2012 at Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte , North Carolina . Summary . Battered , beaten and bruised , CM Punk strode into Monday Night Raw the very image of defiance , if not necessarily health , following his controversial victory over Ryback at Hell in a Cell . With his ribs taped and a gait in his step , The Second City Saint looked like he ' d gone ten rounds with a Mack truck but had lost none of his signature bile as he addressed the WWE Universe . " You all thought he was unbeatable , " sneered Punk . " You thought I was going to be just another victim in this trail of bodies left behind by the monster . You were wrong . . . you were all wrong and you were proven wrong by me . For 344 days you were proven wrong by me . " " I ' ve defeated every single one of your heroes , " Punk gloated , citing his past defeats of the beloved Rey Mysterio and Randy Orton as evidence of his greatness , before turning attention to his series of victories over " the resident Superman " of WWE , John Cena . " As far as Ryback ' s concerned , he ' s not even in the conversation . " Of course , per Punk ' s M . O . , he turned attention next to himself , looking to celebrate his own victory but disappointed that the win was " marred " by the injustice perpetrated by Brad Maddox . Punk denied involvement in Maddox ' s controversial interference and claimed the only thing he was guilty of was taking advantage of the situation Maddox presented him . In other words , a win is a win , and Punk , the victor , stood tall before the crowd and declared that he was " ineraseable . " " I am The Best in the World , " Punk preened , but The Voice of the Voiceless ' latest manifesto was brought to a screeching halt , incidentally , by the screeching sound of a car cash through the speakers . Which , of course , could only mean one thing : Mick Foley had arrived . And boy , was he mad . The Hardcore Legend laced into The Second City Saint with the same fire as a few weeks earlier , accusing Punk of taking the easy way out of the " choice " Foley had presented him , and disrespecting the tradition that defined the WWE Championship . At this , The Voice of the Voiceless had himself an idea . Survivor Series was coming up , the same pay - per - view where he ' d won the WWE Title a year earlier . Foley , who kept " popping up like a bad penny , " obviously felt he had business with the champion . So why not settle their differences in a traditional , 5 - on - 5 Survivor Series Match . Foley didn ' t even hesitate . " You ' re on . " " I ' ll tell you right now , " Punk said , " Whoever you pick , we ' re gonna get rid of them . " Punk didn ' t have time to expound on this , though , because that was when Ryback ' s music thundered through the arena and the man himself marched down to the ring with feeding time on his mind . The champion wanted no more of his monstrous foe , however , and wasted no time in making himself scarce with Paul Heyman at his side . It would appear the rumors of Ryback being in Punk ' s rearview mirror were greatly exaggerated . Ryback was not much for talking on Monday night when he squared off against JTG , making an emphatic statement following his loss to CM Punk the previous night at Hell in a Cell . JTG did his best against the beast ' s onslaught , but Ryback handily dismantled the former tag team standout , leaving him Shell Shocked before JTG even knew what hit him . What really turned heads , though , was Ryback ' s message to the WWE Universe . After Josh Mathews attempted to get the monster ' s feelings on the previous night and asked if Ryback was " hungry for revenge , " the ravenous Superstar snatched the mic from Mathews ' hands and spoke his mind . " Revenge is a confession of pain . I ' m not hurt . I ' m hungry . And when I feast again , it will be on CM Punk . Feed . Me . PUNK ! ! ! " Consider the gauntlet thrown once again . In their third clash in recent weeks , Randy Orton and Wade Barrett didn ' t fail to thrill in a contest of brutal precision . Less than 24 hours after The Viper put the bite on cunning rival Alberto Del Rio , WWE ' s Apex Predator had his work more than cut out for him against the Bare - Knuckle Brawler whose gotten the better of Orton in the past . The resilient serpent slithered to victory with a ( characteristic ) impeccably timed RKO that felled his English enemy . Adding insult to , well , serious insult , Raw ' s new Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero initiated a live job interview in her locker room office with none other than AJ Lee , the former General Manager of the Monday night brand . Inquiring about AJ ' s strengths and weaknesses , Vickie toyed with her would - be applicant , while still bearing the supposed evidence of what Guerrero has claimed is an affair between AJ and John Cena - which the Managing Supervisor remained intent on preserving until later in the night . Still riling after their loss to Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara at WWE Hell in a Cell , the red - hot Primetime Player stepped up to WWE Tag Team Champions Team Hell No with more swagger than a Snoop Dogg album . As the disparate personalities of Daniel Bryan & Kane struggled to work as a unit , the powerful pair of Darren Young & Titus O ’ Neil found success early , but they ultimately fell to the demented duo after Bryan tagged himself into action and applied the excruciating “ No ! Lock ” to a helpless Young . Did John Cena and AJ Lee really get involved in an “ inappropriate relationship ” during AJ ’ s reign as Raw ’ s General Manager ? That was Raw Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero ’ s allegation when she called the former WWE Champion into the ring on Raw . Cena may have dismissed the allegation with his signature jocularity , but Vickie upped the ante by revealing photos of the Raw Superstar and AJ enjoying a candlelight dinner along with security footage of the duo riding a hotel elevator up to the same floor . A stunned Cena continued to deny the accusations , but Vickie refused to be deterred as she suggested that the twosome broke WWE ’ s rulebook . Finally , when Dolph Ziggler hit the squared circle to back his associate ’ s claims , Cena shoved the Money in the Bank winner to the canvas and told him to mind his tongue before retreating to the locker room . The smug Antonio Cesaro didn ’ t give the WWE fans anything to cheer about when he insulted the waistlines of America ’ s children before his showdown with Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston . The unpredictable “ wildcat ” who defeated The Miz at WWE Hell in a Cell , Kingston gave Cesaro his greatest challenge since the Swiss strongman debuted in WWE . But the match ended prematurely after guest commentator Miz injected himself into the action by attacking a distracted Kofi . The unexpectedness didn ’ t end there as R - Truth hit the ring and knocked the United States Champion back to Switzerland with a sharp clothesline . Heath Slater & Jinder Mahal of the smug trio known as 3MB looked to rock the faces of Zack Ryder & Santino Marella on Raw . The musicians may have had the attitude , but they lacked the heart of Long Island Iced - Z and his good buddy , The Milan Miracle , who brought spirited fight to the would be rockers . Yet , despite the spirit of the challengers , 3MB scored the victory when Slater shredded on Santino to secure the win for his team — much to the delight of third jamming band member Drew McIntyre . On the same night that Raw Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero rehired AJ Lee with the caveat that AJ could never touch her again , the former Raw GM faced down WWE ’ s most powerful Diva , Beth Phoenix . It was a stacked deck for the diminutive Diva , but AJ dismissed the powerful competitor in short time with a well - executed inside cradle . The WWE fans may have loved the victory , but Guerrero was unimpressed as she admonished AJ before restarting the match . It was clockwork from there as Beth hoisted AJ up and finished her off with a devastating Glam Slam . Still , despite The Glamazon ' s victory , Vickie rudely fired Beth for not getting the job done in the first place with little regard for the respected competitor . One night after dropping the World Heavyweight Championship to Big Show in a brutal bout at WWE Hell in a Cell , Sheamus hit the ring with a smile on his face . Although he lost his coveted title , The Celtic Warrior admitted that The World ’ s Largest Athlete was the better man Sunday night . Still , Sheamus was so inspired by his wild brawl with the giant that he revealed that he was eager for his next showdown with Big Show . The Celtic Warrior ’ s boasts inspired the new World Heavyweight Champion to make his way to the ring , who acknowledged that Sheamus brought out the beast in him . But the towering champion failed to prepare himself for a destructive helping of White Noise , which the mighty Irishman delivered with no prejudice . Team Rhodes Scholars was clearly peeved after failing to capture the WWE Tag Team Championships from Team Hell No at WWE Hell in a Cell . Taking their anger out on Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara , Cody Rhodes & Damien Sandow did a brilliant job of keeping Sin Cara away from The Ultimate Underdog as they punished him in the neutral corner . When the masked former WWE Champion finally made his way into the fray , it looked like curtains for Team Rhodes Scholars . But the momentum swayed again when the crooked duo knocked Mysterio to the outside , allowing Sandow to execute his destructive Terminus on Sin Cara for an underhanded victory . Alberto Del Rio may have failed to establish himself as WWE ’ s “ new Apex Predator ” against Randy Orton , but The Mexican Aristocrat had little trouble stopping Justin Gabriel . The highflier who nearly wrestled the United States Title away from Antonio Cesaro at WWE Hell in a Cell , Gabriel came to fight the WWE Champion tonight . But the intense aristocrat was not to be denied as he grounded the acrobat with a stiff kick before polishing him off with a debilitating Cross Armbreaker . WWE Champion CM Punk barely escaped WWE Hell in a Cell with his coveted title , but the “ WWE ‘ 13 ” cover boy was unabashed as he allowed his slimy associate , Paul Heyman , to reveal his squad for his Survivor Series bout against Mick Foley ’ s group . Taking a twisted pleasure in rattling off the roster , Heyman introduced The Miz , Team Rhodes Scholars and Alberto Del Rio with the confidence of a man with victory already in his grasps . Undeterred , former WWE Champion Mick Foley hit the ring and introduced a squad that would not be intimidated by Punk ’ s rogues gallery . In short order , The Hardcore Legend welcomed Intercontinental Champion Kofi Kingston , WWE Tag Team Champions Team Hell No and the unpredictable Randy Orton into his company . As if that wasn ’ t enough , Mrs . Foley ’ s Baby Boy thrilled the WWE fans when he revealed the final member of his team — none other than the wrecking machine known as Ryback . Clearly rattled , the WWE Champion headed for the hills as his Survivor Series squad got dismantled by Foley ’ s team . The Straight Edge Savior could run , but come Nov . 18 , 2012 , he can no longer hide .
