June 3 , 2013 Monday Night RAW results The June 3 , 2013 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s RAW brand , which took place on June 3 , 2013 at XL Center in Hartford , Connecticut . Summary . It ’ s a safe bet the WWE Universe never thought they ’ d see the day the McMahon - Helmsley family staged an intervention for its prized competitor , but that ’ s exactly what happened when Raw rolled into Hartford with Triple H ' s in - ring future thrown into question . Just miles from WWE Headquarters in Stamford , both Mr . McMahon and Stephanie McMahon came to the ring to put a stop to the not - yet - present King of Kings ' planned match against Curtis Axel . . . and , potentially , any bouts beyond . With The Game coming off a debilitating loss to Brock Lesnar that carried over into a contest with Axel the next night , questions have been circulating as to whether or not the 13 - time World Champion was pushing his luck , and the McMahons decided to err on the side of caution . Mr . McMahon himself strongly implied that he would keep Triple H from any further competition that might endanger his physical well - being . Unfortunately , the static of The Shield ’ s theme music cut The Chairman off mid - stride , and any further pleas would have to wait as “ The Hounds of Justice ” stalked their way to the ring with the McMahons in their sights . Another week , another victory for The Shield . While they once again notched a win over Team Hell No and a third party ( Randy Orton in this case ) , the self - styled “ Hounds of Justice ” hardly waltzed off with their latest triumph . In fact , thanks to the focused intensity of Daniel Bryan , The Shield ( whose confrontation with the McMahons ended without incident ) barely even notched the “ W ” at all . Not only did Bryan start the contest , but after The Shield rallied following hot streaks by both Kane and Orton , Bryan took control and brought the “ Hounds ” as close to the doghouse as they ’ ve ever been . But The Shield turned the tables by storming the ring and initiating a fracas that proved to be the deciding factor in the bout when Orton was shoved into an advancing Bryan . The impact knocked the submission expert out of whack , leaving him vulnerable to a match - ending standing bulldog from Dean Ambrose . To cull a phrase from a fellow Samoan , The Usos hit like lightning and vanished like smoke in a big , big win over The Prime Time Players that re - established them as a team to watch in the tag team division . Sporting some nifty new face paint , Jimmy & Jey took it to The Players at high velocity , employing their trademark teamwork to withstand the power of Titus O ’ Neil and keep the bout in their favor . Once they isolated Darren Young from his beefy partner , the twins unleashed the final stroke of their victory and struck “ Mr . No Days Off ” with a Superfly Splash to send Titus & Darren from Prime Time to basic cable . Tied at 2 - 2 with Ziggler ’ s hefty heavy , Big E Langston , Alberto Del Rio took to the ring on Raw looking to avenge his most recent loss . Del Rio was ultimately successful in the endeavor , although it took every bit of his considerable cunning to defeat the big man for a third time . Seemingly anticipating Del Rio ’ s technically sound game plan , Langston unleashed his little - seen speed in the bout ’ s opening minutes , bouncing across the ring and leaving The Essence of Excellence flattened in his wake . A series of backbreakers seemed to spell doom for The Pride of Mexico , but Del Rio reversed the tide and applied the Cross Armbreaker . Anticipating Big E ’ s powerful counter to the maneuver , Del Rio used his ring savvy to reverse the reversal into an unorthodox rollup pin , putting Langston down for three . Olé ! The age - old question of what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object was finally answered when Sheamus ’ boot collided with Cody Rhodes ’ mustache on Raw , initiating an instantaneous pinfall for The Celtic Warrior and a tough loss for the former Intercontinental Champion . But like all great solutions to age - old conundrums , it took some time for the two Superstars to arrive at that fateful point of contact . With Damien Sandow disparaging the Irishman from a post at the commentary table , Sheamus and Rhodes went to work on each other in the ring . Rhodes certainly lived up to his newest , Sandow - coined moniker ( “ The Prince of Precision ” ) in his initial dismantling of The Celtic Warrior . But Cody ’ s technical acumen proved a poor counter once Sheamus picked up momentum , dodging a Rhodes moonsault and unleashing the aforementioned Brogue Kick to earn a hard - fought win . Not only do the record books reflect that Fandango is winless against The Great Khali in dance - offs , but the dancing Superstar ’ s luck in genuine competition is similarly spotty against the former World Champion . Each of Fandango ’ s tangos with The Punjabi Playboy have ended in abrupt fashion , and their meeting in Hartford was no exception . Granted , it was only quick thinking on Fandango ’ s part that kept him from looking up at the lights , as he attempted to flee when the big man had Fandango on the proverbial ropes . An appearance by The Miz kept Fandango from making a clean getaway , but Wade Barrett truly brought the action to a halt when he appeared from the locker room and leveled The Awesome One with a Bull Hammer that allowed Fandango to dance away unscathed , but posed an ill omen for Miz ' s previously - announced bout with Barrett himself . Wade Barrett got the better of The Miz with an underhanded Bull Hammer from behind before their match , but The Awesome One got the last laugh with a Figure Four Leglock that left the Intercontinental Champion a - tappin ’ for mercy in a non - title victory on Raw . Though , all things considered , Miz got a pretty big assist in his win over the brawling champion , as Barrett had left him pancaked with the Winds of Change when Fandango reappeared atop the ramp with Summer Rae in tow . The pair ’ s impromptu dance left Barrett distracted just long enough for Miz to rally , tripping the Englishman up and wrenching his legs into the Figure Four for a submission victory and a sigh of relief in quick succession . With a stroke of his pen , Paul Heyman made it official for Chris Jericho : He has his match against CM Punk at WWE Payback in The Straight Edge Superstar ’ s hometown of Chicago . Despite the mad scientist ’ s protestations that the former WWE Champion would make a “ liar ” out of Jericho at Payback , The Ayatollah of Rock ‘ n ’ Rolla seemed anything but skittish at the prospect of facing the absentee Punk on his own home turf . Not only that , but Y2J got a few laughs at Heyman ’ s expense as well , rolling up the contract and depositing it down the front of the mad scientist ’ s pants once pen had been put to paper . Needless to say , Jericho found all this quite amusing , as did the WWE Universe . Whether he ’ s still smiling two weeks from now … well , that ’ s the big question , isn ’ t it ? After a succession of humiliations at the hands of her fellow Divas , Kaitlyn finally got one up on the resident mean girls of WWE , notching the deciding pinfall in a hard - hitting Six - Diva Tag Team Match . Joining forces with The Funkadactyls against AJ Lee & The Bellas , Kaitlyn and her team started strong but fell behind when the devious Bellas isolated Naomi from her partners . The feisty Funkadactyl roared back to tag Kaitlyn into the match and the Divas Champion went to work against her opponents , though AJ did give her an assist of sorts in the win : With Nikki Bella taken out , Brie went to tag AJ into the match and she , well , declined to accept the tag ( talk about payback ) , leaving Brie to the mercy of a spear and the ignominy of a three - count to put the Divas action to its end When Daniel Bryan promises to beat the respect out of someone , he will be beating the respect out of someone . Despite Ryback ’ s earlier assertion that he ’ d wipe the floor with the submission expert , their impromptu matchup left the “ Human Wrecking Ball ” so stunned he willingly ate a disqualification loss . In some ways , Ryback was lucky to even make it to the bout ’ s finale . Bryan dug deep into his arsenal of submissions , targeting Ryback ’ s legs in an attack that left the No . 1 contender to the WWE Title literally stumbling around the ring in agony . With Bryan proving tougher than anticipated , Ryback decided he ’ d had enough and ( literally ) turned the tables , piledriving Bryan through a table and taking a DQ loss in the process . But before the “ Human Wrecking Ball ” could send the “ No ! ” man the way of Kofi Kingston , WWE Champion John Cena came to Bryan ’ s aid in a standoff that was mitigated by the arrival of Curtis Axel , whose own match against Cena was about to begin . " Chekhov ' s Table " struck and Curtis Axel ’ s winning streak continued in the finale of Raw when the third - generation prodigy clashed with the WWE Champion in a McMahon - mandated No Disqualification Match , riding an unlikely assist to another controversial victory . While Paul Heyman ’ s newest prospect may be a Superstar of few words , he proved himself to be a competitor of considerable brutality , swinging a steel chair and showing shades of his father and grandfather in a strong , veteran - level effort against the Cenation leader . A comeback from Cena nearly left Axel in splinters when he hoisted the Heyman Guy up for the Attitude Adjustment and made for one of Ryback ’ s leftover tables , but a timely interference by Ryback himself liberated Axel from The Champ ’ s clutches . Ryback made his second statement of the night , plowing Cena through the pine while Axel scrambled back to the ring to beat the ten - count . Heyman Guy , 3 ; future WWE Hall of Famers , 0 .
