July 8 , 2013 Monday Night RAW results The July 8 , 2013 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s RAW brand , which took place on July 8 , 2013 at 1st Mariner Arena in Baltimore , Maryland . Summary . If this is truly Vickie Guerrero ’ s last gasp as the reigning boss lady of Monday Night Raw , let it never be said she went out quietly . With her job on the line thanks to a ruling by Stephanie McMahon , the Managing Supervisor opened what may be her final night in charge by making her case for staying on , climbing each rung of a ladder to symbolize her hard - won ascent to power . As it turns out , Vickie was wise to appeal to the sympathetic nature of the WWE Universe , because Jerry “ The King ” Lawler cut her off mid - speech to announce that the WWE Universe would cast a WWE App vote that would factor into her job review . As a final offering to the WWE Universe , Vickie ’ s planned trio of all - star matches ( Kane vs . Christian ; Daniel Bryan vs . Sheamus and Randy Orton vs . CM Punk ) is a nice start . But would it be enough to save her from the chopping block ? No 18 - second sob story tonight for Daniel Bryan , who slew his second Goliath in three weeks and knocked off Sheamus in the first of Vickie Guerrero ’ s three planned bouts between the Money in the Bank All - Stars . With the WWE Title Contract hanging ominously overhead , The Celtic Warrior didn ’ t seem like he expected to repeat his famous blink - and - you ’ ll - miss - it feat from WrestleMania XXVIII . But even he seemed taken aback by the berserker intensity of the former Tag Team Champion in a bout that was rougher than a scrap on the streets of Hamsterdam . Anticipating Bryan ’ s head of steam , Sheamus countered his running clotheslines into the Irish Curse , but it was Bryan who won out in the end by reverseing the Cloverleaf into a cradle pin . The effort was enough to earn Bryan a hearty handshake from the Irishman himself in a genuine gesture of respect for the beard and the man who wears it , as well . It ’ ll take more than Tons of Funk to crack the winning ways of The Shield , as Seth Rollins & Roman Reigns rolled through the boogie - happy big men en route to their upcoming Tag Team Championship defense at Money in the Bank Kick - Off . Despite an up - and - down couple of weeks for the self - styled “ Hounds of Justice ” and despite an early beating at the hands of Brodus & Tensai , Rollins & Reigns were ultimately in fine form against their funky foes . Rollins took the brunt of the big men ’ s early punishment , but Roman Reigns helped turn the tide and ultimately decided the match after Rollins kicked out of a pinfall attempt from Tensai , tagging back into the contest and cutting “ Sweet T ” down with a furious Spear to earn The Shield its latest victory . The last time John Cena and Mark Henry met in the ring , The Champ was left shaken by The World ’ s Strongest Man . But with their WWE Title Match at Money in the Bank only six days away , Cena came to Baltimore with no intention of seeming vulnerable . He even went so far as to back his tough talk up after words gave way to physicality , attempting an Attitude Adjustment on the brazen No . 1 contender . But to quote Henry himself from a few weeks ago , you think it ' s that easy ? Cena ’ s attempt to punish Henry with the maneuver earned him the same fate as Ryback at WrestleMania when The Champ ’ s legs gave out under the big man ’ s weight . The resulting collapse left Cena splattered beneath Henry ’ s mass on the mat while the No . 1 contender himself scoffed at The Champ from above before unleashing a final World ' s Strongest Slam . Because that ' s what he does . Curtis Axel fancies himself as perfection , but he ’ ll have to be a little bit better than that at Money in the Bank this Sunday after the Intercontinental Champion lost his focus – and his first match as a Paul Heyman Guy – against Chris Jericho on Raw . Axel was crisp in the early goings of the match against Y2J , countering the Codebreaker and successfully executing the Perfect Plex , but it was ultimately a mental error that led to Axel ’ s loss . With Jericho reeling , Axel took too long to taunt his opponent and Y2J capitalized , locking in the Walls of Jericho and later throwing Axel into the commentary booth . Given that The Miz was scouting the champion from ringside , this proved to be the deciding factor as the champion jaw - jacked with his contender for too long and walked unwittingly into a second Codebreaker once he rolled back into the ring at the beat - up Heyman ’ s frantic behest . Call it almost perfect . Dolph Ziggler ’ s mind games cost Alberto Del Rio a Champion vs . Champion Match last week on Raw , and The Showoff struck again this week , worming his way into the psyche of the World Heavyweight Champion and throwing Del Rio ’ s match with Sin Cara into disarray . Though Sin Cara was in rare form against The Essence of Excellence , Del Rio was competing under no small amount of duress . Ziggler ( without AJ at his side once again despite her earlier promise ) had no intention of leaving the champion six days before their hotly anticipated rematch , aping Ricardo Rodriguez ’ s ring announcing and throwing The Mexican Aristocrat off his game . Del Rio ultimately ditched the match to tussle with Dolph , but Sin Cara quickly pounced on The Essence of Excellence , leaving a World Champion flattened for the second time in one night but concluding the bout in a double count - out . It ’ s safe to assume that , once Vickie Guerrero ’ s fate was thrown into question , many figured Team Brickie would be dead by Raw ’ s end . As it turns out , they were only half right . On the one hand , Vickie Guerrero is indeed fired , expelled from the Managing Supervisor ’ s position by Stephanie McMahon herself after a record - setting WWE App vote acted as a tiebreaker between the whims of Mr . McMahon ( who wanted Vickie to stay ) and Triple H ( who voted her gone ) . While Vickie ’ s emotional pleas to keep her job didn ’ t exactly tug at The Chairman ’ s heartstrings , the impulsive nature of a major business decision did propel him into an executive decision . It just wasn ’ t the one anyone expected . " You have no idea what the right decision would be , " The Chairman roared at the WWE Universe , " [ So ] I ' m gonna make it for you . . . you people deserve this . " In other words , ladies and gentlemen , say hello to your new Raw General Manager : Brad Maddox , who revealed his qualifications to WWE . com as a former hall monitor , fourth grade class president and captain of JV basketball team in 10th and 11th grades . Kane had the very definition of a mixed evening on Raw , defeating Christian in the second All - Star confrontation but also becoming the first Superstar to suffer the wrath of The Wyatt Family in the process . The Devil ’ s Favorite Demon faced a stiff challenge in Christian , who certainly made his case for One . More . Match . by keeping Kane on the defensive for the duration of the bout . Christian ’ s success went to his head , though , and he attempted a too - early Spear that led to a Chokeslam … and that ’ s when the lights cut out and Bray Wyatt ’ s final dispatch played to the WWE Universe . Moments later , the Wyatts themselves emerged from the darkness and laid siege to The Devil ’ s Favorite Demon . While Bray Wyatt watched from a rocking chair at ringside , Erick Rowan and Luke Harper decimated Kane with the steel steps , leaving him in a heap before Wyatt knelt beside the fallen form of his first victim … but most likely not his last . The claws came out in the Divas division when a tag team bout degenerated into a full - on fight just six days before the Divas Title is defended at Money in the Bank . Kaitlyn ' s rivalry with Divas Champion AJ Lee has taken up the headlines in WWE ' s women ' s division , but they took a backseat in Divas tag action to a whirlwind exchange between Layla ( who teamed with Kaitlyn ) and Alicia Fox ( who allied with AJ ) before things took a turn south . It was Alicia ' s tag of AJ that set Kaitlyn off , as the jilted former champion stormed into the ring and left her former friend in a heap , giving new meaning to the term " Chickbusting " by unleashing a spear outside the ring that left AJ in the Land of Nod . But can she do it again this weekend ? In a bout between two of WWE ’ s most vicious Superstars , it was CM Punk who came out on top once Vickie Guerrero ’ s final match as Managing Supervisor was said and done , avenging a WrestleMania loss to hand Randy Orton another high - profile defeat . Punk started strong , but Orton steadily dismantled The Straight Edge Superstar by targeting his ribs and back to leave him writhing . Orton ’ s sadistic tendencies got the better of him as he laid a barrage of punches on Punk ’ s head against the turnbuckle , though , giving Punk time to writhe free and the wind to counter the RKO with a kick to the head . One Go to Sleep later and Orton ’ s night was over . But Daniel Bryan wasn ’ t about to leave without making a statement of his own , dissecting Punk with kicks and bulldozing Orton with a ladder before clutching the coveted briefcase for his own . Brutal ? Yes . Dangerous ? Certainly . But when it comes to Money in the Bank , such things are all in the game .
