February 7 , 2011 Monday Night RAW results The February 7 , 2011 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s RAW brand , which took place on February 7 , 2011 at Bradley Center in Milwaukee , Wisconsin . Summary . After months , Mr . McMahon finally made his eagerly - anticipated return to Raw – and it was worth the wait . The Chairman opened the program to inform the WWE Universe that next week , the host of this year ’ s WrestleMania will be revealed ! After Randy Orton punted their colleague , Husky Harris , in the skull last week , The New Nexus was hungry for retribution . As a result , the group surrounded The Viper and beat him down mercilessly . The group ' s leader , CM Punk , then explained why he had cost Orton the WWE Championship at Royal Rumble : He hadn ' t forgotten that WWE ' s Apex Predator cost him his World Heavyweight Championship in 2008 . However , that was hardly the end of their night . The anonymous Raw General Manager eschewed the group ’ s “ gang mentality ” and announced that members of The New Nexus would compete in individual matches against participants in the upcoming Raw Elimination Chamber Match . The bouts would culminate in a contest between New Nexus leader CM Punk and John Cena . In the first match of the evening , Nexus strongman Mason Ryan faced off with R - Truth . Ryan showed he possesses both size and sadism . The Welshman refused to release his submission hold , punishing Truth ’ s legs . His insistence cost Ryan the bout due to disqualification . The bad blood flowed thick when Divas Champion Eve teamed up with Gail Kim & Tamina to compete against The Bella Twins & Melina . With loads of animosity looming large , it was the recently crowned Divas Champion who secured the win for her team by pinning Melina . Eve ' s troubles aren ' t over just yet , though . Next week , the Divas Champion must defend her title against former champion Natalya . In their effort to weaken each of CM Punk ’ s Elimination Chamber opponents , The New Nexus scored yet again . This time , it was Michael McGillicutty who tackled the challenge of John Morrison . Although The Shaman of Sexy prevailed , he was ambushed after the bout when The Second City Savior struck him from behind , sprayed a chemical substance in his eyes and kicked him in the head . If WWE Champion The Miz thinks he can coast in his title match against Jerry “ The King ” Lawler at WWE Elimination Chamber , he ’ d better think again . The WWE Hall of Famer teamed with U . S . Champion Daniel Bryan against Miz & Ted DiBiase . Lawler showed that he remains a force inside the ring when he used his experience to level The “ Fortunate Son ” for the three - count . CM Punk continues to prove himself a shrewd operator . Prior to a match pitting David Otunga against King Sheamus , the head of The New Nexus presumably orchestrated a scuffle between the Irishman and Mark Henry by planting false accusations between the two . In addition to shielding his disciple from potential harm , the move also sparked a blow - up between The World ’ s Strongest Man and The Celtic Warrior , who was reeling from the effects of The World ’ s Strongest Slam . Alberto Del Rio outlasted 39 other Superstars to prevail in the Royal Rumble Match . The man he sent over the top rope to win , WWE Tag Team Champion Santino Marella , wanted a second chance . Unfortunately for the Italian , the outcome was similar . Marella ended up tapping out to the Mexican elitist . CM Punk and John Cena will square off inside the Elimination Chamber in two weeks . The combatants got a head start tonight , though , when they clashed in a singles match . Before he would allow himself to fall victim to Punk ’ s minions , 2010 ’ s WWE Superstar of the Year caught his opponent with a low blow . The shot got Cena disqualified and left Punk reeling . The remainder of The New Nexus charged down the entrance ramp . As Mason Ryan attended to his boss , Michael McGillicutty and David Otunga took aim at Cena . Before they could avenge Punk , however , Jerry “ The King ” Lawler handed Cena a steel chair , which he used to clobber the two Nexi and send a clear message to The Second City Savior : John Cena isn ’ t about to go without a fight .
