Summary . When Brock Lesnar warned Shawn Michaels that he ' d see him before SummerSlam , no one ever imagined the kind of punishment Brock had in store for The Showstopper . What did Lesnar do to the WWE Hall of Famer to leave Triple H utterly enraged ? Also , why did WWE Champion CM Punk feel he was disrespected again — this time by John Cena — days before they clash in a Triple Threat Match at SummerSlam ? Big Show manhandled the WWE Champion in the early going as CM Punk tried to stop the onslaught with sharp kicks to the midsection . The World ' s Largest Athlete took advantage of his massive strength and repeatedly planted Punk back down to the canvas . Almost toying with The Straight Edge Superstar , Big Show used his full weight to step on top of Punk while he lied face down on the canvas . Punk seemed to weaken The World ' s Largest Athlete when he drilled him with a running knee in the corner , but Big Show responded with a crushing spear out of nowhere . Just then , Daniel Bryan came out to express his anger over not being in the Triple Threat Match to Jerry " The King " Lawler and Michael Cole at the announce booth . As the action continued , Bryan entered the ring and wrapped the painful " No ! " Lock on The Second City Savior . More chaos ensued as John Cena rushed out and cleared the ring of both Big Show and Bryan . Raw General Manager AJ Lee skipped out to the ring with a big surprise for all four Superstars : Bryan and Big Show will team up to face Punk and Cena later tonight ! JTG pleaded his case to make some noise on the new three - hour Raw . His wish was granted by Raw General Manager AJ Lee as she placed him in a one - on - one clash against the monstrous Ryback . With the Dallas crowd chanting " feed me more , " Ryback punished and pummeled JTG before finishing him off with Shell Shocked . JTG may come to regret his plea for a match for days to come as he tends to his welts and bruises , courtesy of the seemingly unstoppable Ryback . Who should be a guest on “ Piper ' s Pit ” tonight : Chris Jericho , The Miz or Dolph Ziggler ? A RAWactive poll let YOU decide which Superstar should be in the hot seat opposite " Rowdy " Roddy Piper . Perhaps Heath Slater should ' ve spent less time playing air guitar during the match if he wanted to snap his losing streak on Raw . R - Truth caught The One - Man Band off guard with a flurry of clotheslines and slammed him to the canvas with a jumping reverse STO for the victory . As R - Truth celebrated his win , The Prime Time Players rushed to the ring to unleash a double - team assault on R - Truth . Will the sneak attack pay off for Titus O ' Neil and Darren Young as they prepare to face Truth & Kofi Kingston for the WWE Tag Team Championship at SummerSlam ? The WWE Universe fist pumped all show long with DJ Pauly D ! The world - famous DJ and " Jersey Shore " star was the Social Media Ambassador and trended worldwide on Twitter ( @ djpaulyd ) . Sin Cara had to use every ounce of his lightning - fast quickness to stun the much larger Tensai . After countering a powerbomb and sliding away from a splash off the second rope , Sin Cara drilled the hulking Japanese warrior with an enzuigiri to the back of the head , followed by a fierce tornado DDT . Furious with his defeat , Tensai grabbed hold of Sakamoto by the throat and slammed him into the canvas with a powerbomb , then a big senton splash . How much relentless punishment can Tensai ' s worshipper stand ? After winning the RAWactive poll , Chris Jericho was amped to trade verbal barbs with " Rowdy " Roddy Piper in his first appearance on " Piper ' s Pit " … but Dolph Ziggler had some plans of his own . Accompanied by Vickie Guerrero , The Showoff called Piper ' s act " sad " and ripped his SummerSlam opponent with a string of insults . Y2J fired right back at Ziggler until The Miz interrupted Jericho and proclaimed he was taking over Piper ' s show . But as The Awesome One struggled to take the microphone away from Piper , The Ayatollah of Rock ' n ' Rolla punched Miz in the head , and also cleared the ring of Ziggler with Piper ' s help . Jericho then hoisted Ziggler ' s coveted Money in the Bank briefcase in the air as the crowd erupted in cheers for the invigorated Y2J . These rivals weren ' t done there , though , as Raw General Manager AJ Lee announced on Twitter that Jericho will square off with Ziggler and The Miz in a Triple Threat Match next ! Chris Jericho opened as the early aggressor , isolating The Miz in the center of the ring and belting him with painful chops . The tables turned when Dolph Ziggler and The Miz formed a temporary alliance to double - team Jericho , but Miz prevented Ziggler from swiping a victory with a quick pinfall . Jericho rallied back and sent both opponents flying with huge back body drops over the ropes . As Y2J tried to isolate his rival Ziggler in the ring , The Showoff bumped him hard off the apron and straight into the announce table . Back in the ring , The Miz and Jericho traded punishing blows as Ziggler lurked on the outside . Every time The Showoff tried to get back into the matchup , he was tossed viciously off the ring apron . Ziggler finally found his way back into the ring after Jericho hit a Lionsault on The Miz and appeared close to a victory . The action got even more intense as Jericho superplexed Ziggler while The Miz snuck up from behind and powerbombed Jericho , with all three Superstars simultaneously taking a hard fall . Following a series of thrilling near pinfalls between Ziggler and Jericho , The Showoff prepared to go for the Zig Zag , but The Miz hit Dolph with the Skull - Crushing Finale . The Awesome One got a taste of his own medicine as Jericho stopped Miz from getting the pin , followed by a vicious Codebreaker on Ziggler . Y2J looked to have a three - count wrapped up , but Vickie Guerrero placed Ziggler ' s foot on the bottom rope . Undeterred by Vickie ' s interference , Jericho then countered The Miz ' s Skull - Crushing Finale into the Walls of Jericho . The submission maneuver made The Awesome One tap out , but unfortunately for Jericho , the referee didn ' t see it because of Vickie ' s distraction on the ring apron . Capitalizing on the Queen Diva ' s help , Ziggler slid into the ring and dropped Jericho with the Zig Zag from behind to win the match — and surged toward SummerSlam with his head high . Beth Phoenix showed off her impressive strength from the opening bell as she lifted Layla in the air for a press slam . Layla wriggled out of The Glamazon ' s clutches , however , and quelled attacks from both Beth and Eve , taking the opportunity to taunt and dance in the process . Kaitlyn was then tagged in by the Divas Champion and battled Eve , who gained an advantage by tossing her opponent hard off the turnbuckle . Kaitlyn appeared to be done for when Beth and Eve double - teamed her in the corner of the ring , but the former NXT winner rallied back and pulled off the upset by rolling The Glamazon into a pinfall . You can bet SmackDown General Manager Booker T was watching this matchup , days before Kaitlyn faces Eve on Friday night with a position in the GM ' s administration on the line . At the start of the match , Daniel Bryan was resistant to tagging in Big Show , shouting " No ! No ! No ! " at him when The World ' s Largest Athlete wanted to enter the match . Once he was tagged in , Big Show quickly proved to be the most dominant Superstar in the contest . With turnbuckle splashes , clotheslines and a crushing bear hug , Big Show squeezed the energy out of John Cena . However , Bryan was unimpressed and tagged himself into the match . After briefly losing momentum , the team of Bryan & Big Show regained their edge behind the power of The World ' s Largest Athlete as CM Punk found himself trapped in the bear hug as well . Bryan refused to let Big Show to assert his dominance for long . The submission specialist tagged himself back into the matchup , prompting Big Show to back out of the contest and watch as a bystander from the outside . Bryan laced Punk with sharp kicks to the midsection , but soon found himself reeling as the WWE Champion furiously rallied back . The Straight Edge Superstar proceeded to mimic Cena ' s signature maneuvers before the Cenation leader tagged himself in right as Punk was about to hit the Five - Knuckle Shuffle . Cena returned the favor by imitating Punk ' s high knee and running bulldog combination on Bryan , which appeared to upset The Voice of the Voiceless as he walked back up the entrance way . As Cena exchanged words with Punk , Bryan tried to surprise the Cenation leader , but Cena planted the former World Heavyweight Champion with a big Attitude Adjustment to win the match . Afterward , Punk nailed Big Show with the WWE Championship right as The World ' s Largest Athlete attempted a sneak attack on Cena . Instead of attacking Cena as well , Punk extended his right hand to him , but the Cenation leader refused to shake it . Disgusted , Punk pulled his hand back and walked back up the entrance way . Backstage , The Second City Savior told Josh Mathews that Cena ' s refusal to shake his hand was " the ultimate sign of disrespect " and vowed to teach the entire WWE Universe something about respect at SummerSlam . Christian had Damien Sandow scurrying to the outside after a barrage in the early going . That ' s exactly where the self - proclaimed " Intellectual Savior of the Masses " found an opening to launch a return attack as Sandow slammed Captain Charisma repeatedly into the steel ring steps . Brodus Clay grooved down the entrance way in an effort to distract Sandow , but Christian couldn ' t keep his opponent down for the count with a small package . Sandow then nailed Christian with a head - snapping , cross - armed neckbreaker to win the match , followed by a celebratory cartwheel while The Funkasaurus looked on angrily . Paul Heyman warned the WWE Universe that they are going to witness " an uncomfortable beating " in which Triple H suffers mercilessly this Sunday . Brock Lesnar ' s representative then goaded Shawn Michaels into coming out from the back . After HBK and Brock exchanged a heated staredown , Triple H made his way to the ring and signed the contract without saying a word . Brock then signed the contract as well , tossed the clipboard right at The Game , and the two Superstars exchanged an intense staredown as Lesnar backpedaled away from the ring . A simple contract signing wasn ' t enough to satisfy Brock ' s hunger for destruction . After Heyman prevented Michaels from leaving the parking lot , Lesnar ambushed The Heartbreak Kid and dragged him out of his car , knocking out the backstage camera in the process . Arriving later to the scene , Triple H appeared frantic as he looked at the shattered windshield on Michaels ' car and pressed Raw GM AJ Lee for answers to what happened to HBK . The Showstopper ' s fate would soon be revealed as Lesnar carried HBK over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and into the ring . Brock sent Michaels crashing to the canvas with an F - 5 , and then twisted his arm in the Kimura Lock — the same devastating submission hold that broke The Game ' s arm back in April . Heyman warned Triple H that if he took another step , Brock would break HBK ' s arm too . The WWE COO held his ground and didn ' t approach the ring , but Lesnar snapped The Showstopper ' s limb anyway . The King of Kings and WWE medical personnel then rushed to Michaels ' aid as HBK writhed in agony on the canvas . Triple H apologized to his longtime friend for Brock ' s heinous act while Lesnar watched from the entrance ramp and laughed at the pain he inflicted on The Showstopper . Enraged by Brock ' s merciless assault , The Game barked : " We don ' t have to wait ! Let ' s do this now ! " Just days before SummerSlam , an already heated personal rivalry has been taken to a whole new level at the hands of the beast known as Brock Lesnar .
