June 17 , 2013 Monday Night RAW results The June 17 , 2013 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s RAW brand , which took place on June 17 , 2013 at Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids , Michigan . Summary . For all his championship victories , Alberto Del Rio can ’ t seem to catch a break when it comes to the post - title win fiesta . One night after his morally iffy reclamation of the Word Heavyweight Championship , Del Rio took the stage in Grand Rapids to the unmitigated disapproval of the WWE Universe . The crowd hadn ’ t taken too kindly to Del Rio ’ s winning strategy – kick the recently concussed Dolph Ziggler in the head , repeat – but he didn ’ t seem to mind the opinion of a WWE Universe who he felt had disrespected him while he competed in their name . But none took less kindly to the champion ’ s posturing than CM Punk . The ragamuffin hero of the 312 didn ’ t much appreciate Del Rio ’ s claims of superiority ( commandment one of the Cult of Personality : Thou shalt not name thyself “ The best ” ) , and wasted no time – despite Paul Heyman ’ s unwelcome attempts to stop him – laying down a ( non - title ) challenge against Del Rio for later in the evening . And thanks to a quick ruling by Vickie Guerrero , the answer was a resounding Si ! Si ! Si ! One night after losing the Intercontinental Championship , Wade Barrett was set to get his rematch with Curtis Axel . But another impromptu ruling by Vickie Guerrero instead brought Barrett defeat from the Great White North , because Raw ’ s Managing Supervisor summoned Christian from the bench for a bout with the Barrett Barrage ’ s ruthless proprietor . Captain Charisma did not disappoint in his first match back from injury , decking Barrett with elbows and flattening him outside the ring with a crossbody that nearly carried the former World Champion straight into the lights . Christian ’ s posturing briefly cost him the advantage , but the Peeps would not be disappointed : After Christian dodged a Barrett charge that took the Englishman into the steel post , the Canadian grappler capitalized with the Killswitch to make it lights out for Barrett . It took a pair of them to get it done , but brains beat brawn one night after Sheamus ’ defeat of Damien Sandow at WWE Payback Kickoff . Riding high ( perhaps a bit too high ) off his triumph over The Enlightened One , The Celtic Warrior battled both Sandow and Cody Rhodes in a Handicap Match ( another Vickie Guerrero ruling ) and suffered as a result . The Scholars didn ’ t seem like they wanted to beat Sheamus so much as humiliate him , with Cody stomping the Irishman ’ s chest while Sandow held him down , and then administering a series of demoralizing slaps while “ The Duke of Decency ” kept The Celtic Warrior incapacitated . The disrespect spurred Sheamus to unleash White Noise a Sandow and a backbreaker to Cody . But Sandow rolled the Irishman up while he wound up the Brogue Kick for the three - count … a maneuver that ended up hurting Rhodes more than anything after Sheamus administered the move for ( as it were ) kicks despite his defeat . Randy Orton didn ’ t mince words when he called Daniel Bryan the weak link on the WWE App , but he very nearly eat them when the submission master left The Viper summarily de - fanged in a match the WWE Universe named as a No Disqualification Match on the WWE App . Despite the uncertain future of Team Hell No , Bryan seemed anything but distracted in his solo bout , employing amateur - style takedowns as well as his signature submission holds in the early goings of the vicious contest . When Orton reclaimed momentum , The WWE Universe showered him with roars of “ NO ! ” with each of his own strikes to Bryan ’ s torso . Orton responded about as well as one would expect , raking Bryan ’ s eyes and going to town on his foe with a Singapore cane . Bryan rallied , but a mistimed suicide dive sent him crashing into the barricade and gave Orton the advantage . The submission expert refused to relent , but the ringside doctors ultimately called the bout due to possible nerve damage in Bryan ' s arm , giving Orton the victory . The Viper seemed to acknowledge Bryan ’ s heart in victory , though , embracing his foe following the bell . The good sportsmanship did nothing to stem Bryan ' s frustration , however , as he was later spotted reportedly screaming in the face of WWE COO Triple H for ordering the stoppage of his match . Championship celebrations were in heavy supply the night after WWE Payback , but the new titleholders had no shortage of interlopers who weren ’ t about to let them off the hook so easily . In AJ Lee ’ s case , her underhanded Divas Championship victory drew the ire of Stephanie McMahon , who took umbrage at AJ ’ s insistence that she was a role model for women everywhere . AJ ’ s admonishing of The Billion Dollar Princess didn ’ t sit too well either ( “ I ’ m just like you … only younger ” earned her a healthy threat of future - endeavoring ) . But it was Kaitlyn who really made her presence known , interrupting Stephanie ( questionable in itself ) and swarming the new champion in the ring with the rest of the Divas in tow ; it took Big E Langston to keep AJ from a healthy Chickbusting at the hands of her former best friend . Dean Ambrose retained his U . S . Title via Count - out at WWE Payback , and a similar technicality kept Old Glory in his taped - up hands Monday night … although the consequences may be more severe than the Cincinnati madman and his men - at - arms anticipated . Ambrose had been scrapping with Kane in their rematch for the title on Raw , and although Kane had claimed the advantage the pair had barely even gotten out of the gate when Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns swarmed the ring , laying The Big Red Monster out with the Triple Powerbomb . The statement was delivered , but given Triple H ’ s earlier edict , a strong reaction from Vickie Guerrero may yet be in order … at least , that ’ s what Mr . McMahon seems to be expecting . Looks like Zeb Colter has himself a new disciple after all : Sporting pristine white tights and a newly U . S . - friendly attitude , the European Superman put his new attitude to the test with a vicious defeat of William Regal on Raw . The Blackpool - bred veteran clobbered Cesaro with old - school abandon , but Colter ’ s latest catch would not be denied . Wrapping Regal up in a sleeper hold , Cesaro swung his opponent around and let loose with the Neutralizer to earn the three - count , draping Regal in a “ Don ’ t Tread On Me ” flag ( much to the chagrin of an apoplectic Michael Cole ) and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance with Colter at his side . Another championship celebration , another interruption . Only this time , Mark Henry ’ s intrusion of John Cena ’ s WWE Championship victory speech was something of a solemn affair at first . Sporting a cool pink suit and carrying his boots in his hand , The World ’ s Strongest Man seemed ready to prove the rumors right and end his career in WWE . With tears brimming in his eyes , the former World Champion voiced his love for The Champ , the WWE Universe , and his family ( Mae Young , alas , went without props ) , formally retiring with a final address : “ I ’ m coming home ! ” Well , eventually , anyway . Henry then hit Cena with the World ’ s Strongest Slam , finishing what he started the night after WrestleMania and staking a claim for the WWE Title . Standing over the vanquished Champ , Henry snatched his boots and made his exit while the anti - Cena portion of the WWE Universe showered him with a somewhat appropriate chant : “ You still got it ! ” Let there be rock on Monday Night Raw , as hard - rockin ’ Chris Jericho squared off against would - be guitar god Heath Slater in Grand Rapids in a battle of the axe - men . With 3MB at his side and a big win under his belt , Slater ’ s confidence seemed at a high when he battled Y2J , unleashing a kick to the head that left the former Undisputed Champion seeing stars . Jericho kicked out of Slater ’ s cover , however , and despite the interference of Drew McIntyre and Jinder Mahal , Y2J let loose with the Codebreaker and put Slater down for the three , dishing out a similar punishment to the band when they attempted post - match retribution . It ’ s only fitting that an Intercontinental Champion should make his mark against an international sensation , and Curtis Axel kicked his reign off on a strong foot when he defeated Sin Cara in his first match with the coveted title . Bathed in the orange glow of Sin Cara ’ s signature lighting and with The Miz watching on commentary , Axel used his old - school grit to tough out the acrobatics of The Mexican Superstar , thwarting Sin Cara ’ s senton with knees to the back of the head and executing a picture - perfect DDT to claim the victory . It was a solid win if there ever was one , but given Miz ’ s presence , Axel ’ s most awesome challenge may yet be on the horizon . It was shades of Survivor Series 2011 when CM Punk faced off against World Champion Alberto Del Rio on Raw , and while the ending of their bout was technically the same – Punk claimed the win – the circumstances and aftermath could not have been more different . The two Superstars came out swinging against each other , though Del Rio ’ s frustration boiled over as the WWE Universe cheered for Punk , leading him to unleash a similar barrage of kicks he had against Dolph Ziggler the previous night . Del Rio targeted Punk ’ s left arm rather than his head , but the strategy paid dividends until Punk rallied with a last - ditch Go to Sleep that sent Del Rio rolling outside the ring . This , as they say , is where it got interesting . Ricardo hauled his hermano to his feet at the count of ten ( suffering a loss in the process ) and carried him to the locker room , but the pair was besieged by a furious Dolph Ziggler , defying doctor ’ s orders by showing up of his own accord and laying a rabid beatdown on the unsuspecting champion . Punk was left to celebrate his win , but imagine his surprise when Brock Lesnar ’ s music hit instead of his own . And imagine his surprise when The Anomaly appeared in the flesh , stalking Punk outside the ring before he clipped The Second City Saint ' s wings with a ruthless F - 5 . What ' s that old adage again ? Here comes the pain .
