November 11 , 2013 Monday Night RAW results The November 11 , 2013 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s RAW brand , which took place on November 11 , 2013 at the Phones 4u Arena in Manchester , England . Summary . Anarchy in the U . K . may be an exaggeration , but with Triple H & Stephanie McMahon on vacation , Raw ’ s foray across the pond ended with bickering between a trio of authority figures , with the WWE Champion left to deal with the fallout . WWE Champion Randy Orton , Raw General Manager Brad Maddox and newly christened WWE Director of Operations Kane each claimed stewardship of the show , giving input as to which WWE Tag Team Champion Orton should face in the night ’ s opening contest , with the put - upon GM favoring Cody Rhodes , while Kane clamored for Goldust . With frustrations mounting , it was SmackDown General Manager Vickie Guerrero who made the proverbial lemonade , though the results left an appropriately sour expression on the “ Face of WWE ” : Orton would face not one Rhodes brother , but both in a 2 - on - 1 Handicap Match . Even a Viper knows when retreat is the wisest maneuver , though it ’ s unlikely Randy Orton was prepared for the consequences when he decided he ’ d had enough of his Handicap contest against Cody Rhodes & Goldust . The Apex Predator was , to be fair , a victim of matchmaking - by - committee thanks to the power vacuum left in The Authority ’ s absence , and took a while to get his momentum in a situation he had not prepared for . The red - hot Rhodes brethren seized early control , with Goldust taking the lion ’ s share of the time against The Authority ’ s chosen champion . The Viper slowly turned the tables against The Bizarre One until Cody ’ s re - entry swung the contest so far in the brothers ’ favor that The Viper ditched the match altogether for a Count - out loss . Orton had only made it halfway up the ramp when Big Show – rumored to be too injured to appear – sauntered out and rewarded The Viper ’ s strategic exit with The World ’ s Largest Payback , knocking The Apex Predator around before chokeslamming him through the announcer ’ s table . As it turns out , an English makeover did nothing to stem 3MB ’ s poor fortune of late . Despite their shameless adopted identity of “ The Union Jacks , ” the three - headed rock monster was powerless against the international superpower of Santino Marella and Los Matadores . Granted , the group ’ s “ Austin Powers ” - inspired pants did briefly give them some good mojo against their opponents , but a combination of El Torito ’ s hijinks and Santino – who donned a pair of bull horns for the occasion – doomed the Jacks to defeat when The Italian Stallion struck down Jinder Mahal with a bull - horned Cobra for the win . The onetime “ Uncrowned World Heavyweight Champion ” has taken his first step at the road to redemption , much to the chagrin of Kofi Kingston . The Boom Squad General made the mistake of mocking Mr . Sandow in the locker - room area , and was repaid with a well - and - thorough thrashing from The Intellectual Savior of the Masses . So aggressive was Sandow ' s offense that , apart from a brief burst at the midway point , the former Intercontinental Champion never even got a chance to make an impact . Sandow traded pompous speechifying for in - ring punishment by beating Kofi into the defensive , tripping him up in the ropes when Kofi revved up for a springboard , and quickly following with a match - ending “ You ’ re Welcome . ” As far as quick turnarounds go , Curtis Axel can lay claim to a solid one . Seven days after a humiliating loss to Dolph Ziggler , the Intercontinental Champion rebounded with a resoundingly successful title defense in Manchester . Despite the fact that Paul Heyman was still nowhere to be seen , Axel held his own against the former World Heavyweight Champion and , despite long stretches of dominance by The Showoff , came through in the clutch when it mattered most . Photos : Axel shows up Ziggler | Watch the title defense The contest got heated almost immediately , with Ziggler daring Axel to get a piece of him and the champion responding with some truly enthusiastic brawling . The Showoff fought like a man possessed to reverse his fortunes and claim his second Intercontinental Title , and nearly accomplished the feat by knocking Axel loopy with a top - rope facebuster . Axel weathered the storm , though , and stole The Showoff ’ s thunder by driving him into the mat for a last - ditch victory . Curtis Axel wasn ’ t the only second - generation Superstar who got their groove back on Raw this week , as Tamina Snuka avenged her own humiliation from the previous Raw – suffering a pinfall from Newbie Diva Eva Marie – by defeating one of Eva ’ s “ Total Divas ” costars , Nikki Bella . It was a touch - and - go affair for Tamina initially , as Nikki kicked off the match by battering her across the ring . Tamina found her momentum by outright mauling the former Divas Champion , stringing Nikki up in the ropes and driving her to the mat with power maneuvers . An assist from AJ Lee helped Tamina seal the deal with a Superfly Splash , though a bit of post - match retribution from Brie suggests this rivalry may not be done yet . Leave it to Fandango to crash the party , as he cut Tyson Kidd down to size just one week after submitting to the returning veteran in a Mixed Tag Team Match on Raw . It ’ s clear by now that Kidd ’ s hybrid style hadn ’ t suffered despite his long injury layoff , but Fandango was clearly prepared this time around , and kept pace with the former Tag Team Champion for the entire duration of the match . Kidd ’ s early acrobatics fell short when Fandango hurled him over the ropes and slowed Kidd ’ s momentum by grappling him to the mat , though the Hart Dungeon graduate picked up some steam with a hurricanrana off the ring apron . Kidd ’ s enthusiasm got the better of him , though , when Fandango reversed a springboard rollup into a pinfall . Sorry , Zeb - itarians , John Cena still won ’ t be joining The Real Americans ’ movement anytime soon . Despite Zeb Colter ’ s attempts to conscript The Champ into his ranks alongside Jack Swagger & Antonio Cesaro , the Cenation leader held strong in both principle and practice by defeating Colter ’ s boys in a Handicap Match in Manchester . Swagger & Cesaro were welcomed about as well as one might expect from the international crowd , though the reception did nothing to slow the Americans ’ momentum in the opening moments . Despite a counter of the Cesaro swing into an attempted STF , the Americans kept Cena on his heels with a slew of strategic tags and well - honed team maneuvers . ( The unwelcome arrival of Alberto Del Rio on commentary also did The Champ ’ s focus no favors . ) It was quick timing that saved the day when Cena sprung a quick - strike STF on Swagger for the tapout win … though Del Rio made The Champ pay by locking in the Cross Armbreaker in the crux of a steel chair , punishing Cena ’ s surgically repaired arm until Big E Langston stormed to the rescue . Give Ryback a big man and he will muscle his way into victory , but seven days after knocking off The Great Khali , The Human Wrecking Ball found himself laid low by the incomparable quickness of former U . S . Champion R - Truth . “ The Big Guy ” didn ’ t exactly appreciate the dissing rap Truth made his entrance to , and did everything he could to pulverize Truth into defeat . Ryback ’ s demonstration carried on a little too far , though , and Truth ’ s quick dodge of a corner splash by left Ryback stumbling into a roll - up pin before he even knew what was up . As it turns out , “ Mexico ’ s Greatest Export ” doesn ’ t take lightly to having his fun spoiled . Big E Langston ’ s intrusion of Alberto Del Rio ’ s attack on John Cena did not go unnoticed by Kane , Brad Maddox & Vickie Guerrero , who gave Del Rio the opportunity to face Langston one - on - one just a few minutes after the encounter . The Essence of Excellence rose grandly to the challenge , renewing his old rivalry with Langston and notching a win in the process . Langston ' s power seemed certain to give him the win after he plastered Del Rio with a running splash . The former World Champion prevailed , however , escaping the Big Ending and trapping the powerlifting champion in the Cross Armbreaker for the tapout victory . Paul Heyman – or at least what ’ s left of him – is back . Flanked by the victorious Curtis Axel , the mad scientist made his return to Raw as a wheelchair - bound wretch , donning a neck brace , arm sling , back brace and leg cast . And he is not happy . Not only did Heyman more or less dismiss Ryback as a potential Paul Heyman Guy , but he blamed the WWE Universe itself for the beating CM Punk administered at Hell in a Cell . Heyman ’ s promise of vengeance against his prodigal son was quickly interrupted by the man himself , who quickly dispatched Axel and hacked Heyman to pieces with a Kendo stick he produced from beneath the ring . Who says old rivals don ’ t make good tag team partners ? Bolstered by CM Punk ’ s humiliation of Paul Heyman , The Second City Saint & Daniel Bryan came out cocky and confident against The Shield in Kane ’ s first Raw main event as Director of Operations . The pair initially targeted Seth Rollins until he was forced to summon Roman Reigns , who initiated the “ numbers game ” attack that left Bryan at their mercy . The “ Yes ! ” man saved the day with a last - gasp tag of Punk , yet before The Second City Saint could put the opposition to sleep the lights cut out and The Wyatt Family swarmed the ring . Punk & Bryan caught a lucky break when tensions boiled over into a brawl between The Shield and The Wyatts . Their luck was short - lived when Bray marshaled the warring factions into targeting their “ common enemy . ” All seemed lost until The Usos & Rhodes brothers stormed the ring , saving Punk & Bryan from certain doom and ensuring they would survive to see another fight .
