June 10 , 2013 Monday Night RAW results The June 10 , 2013 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s RAW brand , which took place on June 10 , 2013 at The Richmond Coliseum in Richmond , Virginia . Summary . With WWE Payback only six days away , it appears that Triple H ’ s own payback against Curtis Axel will have to wait a little while longer . The erstwhile COO of WWE has been spoiling for a fight against Paul Heyman ’ s protégé ever since Axel ’ s dubious debut under the Heyman banner , where lingering injuries from another Heyman client forced The King of Kings to forfeit his bout against Mr . Perfect ’ s preening son . But it appears that , despite the iron will of The King of Kings , the billion - dollar edict of Mr . McMahon still trumps all . The Game - Axel tilt barely even began before The Chairman made his presence known . Mr . McMahon promptly stopped the match and ( despite Triple H ’ s numerous attempts to subvert the power chain and reverse his father - in - law ’ s decree ) , declaring Axel the winner via Disqualification and , later , Forfeit before absconding with the bell and microphone so as to prevent any technicality - fused resumption of the match by The Game , whose final attempt at initiating a 60 - Minute Iron Man Match was dismissed with one brusque command from The Chairman ' s tongue . Despite the lingering family strife from the previous week , however , a tentative rematch was ultimately offered for next week by Mr . McMahon , though The King of Kings had yet to accept by night ' s end . After Daniel Bryan engaged in a bizarre battle alongside a new partner on SmackDown , it fell to his brawny buddy Kane to dish out some solo hurting on The Shield ’ s resident U . S . Champion , Dean Ambrose , on Raw . And while The Big Red Monster certainly left the Cincinnati scrapper worse for wear , it was all in the name of a Pyrrhic victory when The Shield themselves interfered in the match and awarded Kane the win by DQ . Kane dominated the scrappy Ambrose for most of the contest , but an intrusion by Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns cut the bout short before The Big Red Monster could cement his victory wit the Chokeslam . Thanks to help from Daniel Bryan and Randy Orton , Kane was able to send The Shield into retreat , but the uneasiness between the three sometimes - allies was still palpable throughout the entire state of Virginia . And Vickie Guerrero ' s proposed solutions to the problem may not make much of a difference . The three - way dance for the Intercontinental Title may have become a two - way rumba between The Miz and Wade Barrett following Fandango ’ s injury , but that didn ’ t mean The Miz was in a mood to wait for the pay - per - view to get his hands on the English champion . Squaring off against Cody Rhodes on Raw while Barrett perched at commentary , The Awesome One put on a strong performance and seemed more than prepared to challenge for the title , countering Cody ’ s game plan and trapping “ The Taped Fists That Don ’ t Miss ” in the Figure - Four Leglock for a submission triumph . Not one to settle for his in - ring win , Miz beckoned for Barrett to step through the ropes and dance , but an unlikely third party soon emerged to upend the status quo once again : Paul Heyman . And it just so happens he had a ready - made replacement for Fandango in the Triple Threat Match at Payback … Curtis Axel . Leave it to The Showoff to show up Chris Jericho six days before one of the most anticipated rematches in WWE history . With Y2J preparing for a still - MIA CM Punk at WWE Payback ( and coming off a nasty embarrassment from Paul Heyman on SmackDown ) , tensions were running high in Richmond and Jericho had a few respectful – if forceful – words for the man he named as his greatest opponent . Unfortunately for him , Dolph Ziggler chose that moment to make his own grand return from injury , hijacking the spotlight ( par for the course ) and leveling a few choice words at those he claimed tried to take his World Heavyweight Championship from him . But despite Y2J ’ s attempts to rile up The Showoff into a fight , Ziggler wouldn ’ t budge with Alberto Del Rio coming down the pike to challenge for the World Title . But , with Big E Langston at his side , Dolph did have a consolation opponent for Jericho to face in Big E Langston . A good bodyguard protects his charge at all costs , but Big E ’ s attempts to secure Dolph Ziggler ’ s safety led to a personal shortcoming when it cost him the impromptu bout against Chris Jericho that Ziggler had tossed him into on Raw . With a series of victories over Alberto Del Rio under his belt , Langston had been giving the former Undisputed Champion all he could handle and then some in their inaugural tussle on Raw . Attempted interference by Ziggler tossed the bout into turmoil , however , when Alberto Del Rio arrived to even the odds . The interference threw Langston off his game just long enough for a reeling Y2J to execute the Codebreaker and hand Big E a shocking upset loss . It ’ s been some time since the WWE Universe saw Antonio Cesaro in action on Raw , but the Teutonic titan seems to have been using his time wisely , as his homecoming to WWE ’ s flagship show not only earned him a high - profile win , but the attention of an unlikely fan . Cesaro did a crabwalk to the ring , a feat later eclipsed by Bray Wyatt at Battleground 2013 . With Cesaro set to face Sin Cara , the two international Superstars put on a thrilling show of dueling styles . For a while , it seemed as though The International Sensation ’ s high flying would get the better of Cesaro ’ s throwback , power - oriented move set , but the former U . S . Champion cut his foe down mid - flight , swinging Sin Cara like a rag doll and unleashing the Neutralizer to secure a forceful statement victory . And who , exactly , seemed to walk away the most impressed with Cesaro ’ s win ? Why , the very man who had taken to the mic and lent his , erm , strong opinions to the commentary table during the match itself : Zeb Colter . With Daniel Bryan set to battle Seth Rollins following a WWE App vote , it fell to Randy Orton to square off against Rollins ’ fellow Tag Team Champion , Roman Reigns , in singles action . And if the results of Raw ’ s bout were any indication , The Apex Predator is in for a tough test when he challenges for the Tag Titles at Payback this Sunday . The Viper came out swinging against the imposing Reigns , grounding The Shield ’ s resident bruiser and putting an early hurting on Reigns . But a big right hand sent Orton spilling off the turnbuckle and gave Reigns room to work on the dazed former World Champion . Orton rallied and prepared to administer the RKO , but interference from Seth Rollins and Daniel Bryan ( who had both been at ringside ) cut the contest short and ultimately left the WWE Universe with a No Contest verdict . The WWE Universe selected for Daniel Bryan to face Seth Rollins , and Daniel Bryan vs . Seth Rollins is what they got : An instant - classic tilt between two of WWE ’ s most energetic Superstars that ended in the most old - school fashion possible . Firing on all cylinders , Rollins attempted to prey on the psyche of the former Tag Champion by aping the submission technician ’ s signature maneuvers . But for the second time in two weeks , Bryan would not allow himself to be put away , countering each of Rollins ’ stolen strikes with excruciating holds and borderline - reckless top - rope maneuvers . Roman Reigns nearly sealed the bout when he crept up on a winded Bryan , but thanks to some quick thinking from Randy Orton , Reigns was defused and Bryan was able to roll Rollins up for a rousing victory . Kane may hate to hear it , but that ’ s some good teamwork right there . Somebody get Nev Schulman , and somebody get him fast : We got ourselves a Catfish . For weeks , Kaitlyn has fielded amorous texts from a mystery paramour who admired the Divas Champion from afar , spouting “ Simpsons ” quotes and slowly winning the “ Hybrid Diva ” over with general geek street cred . And , of course , who better to know the inner workings of a geek ’ s mind than the onetime Geek Goddess of the Divas division , AJ Lee . Yes , AJ was the secret admirer all along in an elaborate ploy to worm her way into the champion ' s psyche . And she broke the news in as brutal a way as possible , first setting up Big E Langston to pose as the mystery suitor before revealing the truth and berating Kaitlyn with a tirade that left the champion a furious wreck , lashing out at AJ before breaking down on the canvas . Suddenly , the Divas Championship Match at Payback just became a whole lot more personal . Damien Sandow finally got the better of Sheamus on SmackDown following weeks of embarrassment at the hands of The Celtic Warrior , but even an impressive in - ring win by The Intellectual Savior of the Masses didn ’ t dissuade the Irishman from making a move against his Payback Kickoff opponent . Sandow had been battling R - Truth on Raw and doing a formidable job of it , taking the former U . S . Champion to the limit and finally dooming “ Suntan Superman ” with a new maneuver he dubbed the Silencer . But Sandow wouldn ’ t waltz off into the Richmond night without a few parting words from Sheamus , who told him in no uncertain terms that the Payback “ kickoff ” would end in the most literal fashion possible for The Enlightened One . With a wall of humanity separating them , John Cena and Ryback met for the last time before WWE Payback , and laid all their issues bare just days before they step into Three Stages of Hell . In a pair of heated , emotional addresses to each other , the rampaging Ryback spoke about how he felt he threatened Cena ( " I got too good , too fast " ) , and Cena retorted against Ryback ' s accusations of abandoning him ( " You ' re a man , what did you expect me to do , hold your hand ? " ) . In the end , though , Ryback delivered a final , ominous warning to the man he once called friend and now counted as most hated foe : " Eight months ago , John , you gave me your spot . This Sunday . . . Ryback takes your spot . " Things got very chaotic very quickly after that , as Ryback stormed the ring and brawled with Cena despite the efforts of the Lumberjacks , who inadvertently gave the " Human Wrecking Ball " an open shot at Cena when they left a gap in their ranks surroudning the ring . It ultimately took 10 Superstars to pry the two away from each other . It was a heated preview of what the WWE Unvierse can expect Sunday . . . or at least the first third of what they can expect . Beyond that it ' s all tables and ambulances , with one man standing tall at Hell ' s bitter end .
