September 12 , 2011 Monday Night RAW results The September 12 , 2011 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s RAW brand , which took place on September 12 , 2011 at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa , Ontario , Canada . Summary . WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio is fond of referring to himself as “ the greatest of the great , ” but as everyone knows , actions speak louder than words . So when The Mexican Aristocrat began gushing about himself , yet again , WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart decided to mercifully intervene . On behalf of his fellow Canadians , “ Hit Man ” informed Del Rio that a true champion fights his own battles and doesn ’ t take advantage of an injured man . When Del Rio threatened Hart , his Night of Champions opponent , John Cena , thwarted his bravado . The moneyed Mexican then decided to arranged a match pitting Cena against … Ricardo Rodriguez ! The Cenation Commander - in - Chief then insisted Del Rio compete against Hart . Before the situation devolved into chaos , Mr . John Laurinaitis intervened . The Executive Vice President of Talent Relations , on behalf of Triple H , arranged a tag team match pitting WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio & Ricardo Rodriguez against John Cena & Bret Hart . Not only that , later in the night , World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton will also take on Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes and Triple H will face off one last volatile time with CM Punk before their No Disqualification Match at Night of Champion . Vickie Guerrero has her hands full . In addition to United States Champion Dolph Ziggler , WWE ’ s resident cougar has recently been eyeing Jack Swagger as a client as well . Unfortunately for her , the two don ’ t play well with others . When they were teamed in a tag match against John Morrison & Alex Riley , the mistrust and jealousy was apparent . As they quarreled with each other , A - Ry & JoMo were quick to take advantage and nail down a win . Later in the evening , an irate Vickie screeched as SmackDown General Manager Theodore Long informed her that Ziggler must defend his title in a Fatal 4 - Way Match at Night of Champions against Swagger , Morrison and Riley . The conspiracy continues – at least in the warped minds of R - Truth and The Miz . The two continued to vent about the supposed mistreatment they ’ ve received at the hands of WWE Chief Operating Officer Triple H just before Miz entered the ring to tackle WWE Tag Team Champion Kofi Kingston . With just six days until they and their respective partners square off at Night of Champions , The Cleveland Screamer and the leader of the Boom Squad hit the mat for an intense bout . As the other half of Air Boom , Evan Bourne , and his squirrely counterpart , Truth , looked on from ringside , Miz conquered Kofi when he hit the Skull Crushing Finale , putting the champions on notice for Sunday . Since their defeat last week at the hands of Jerry “ The King ” Lawler & Zack Ryder , Michael McGillicutty & David Otunga have been eager for their rematch . That fervor turned to frustration after learning that Long Island Iced - Z could not compete thanks to Mark Henry , who rocked him on SmackDown . Instead , Lawler recruited someone less tan but a lot more intimidating : The Celtic Warrior . McGillicutty & Otunga were none too pleased when Sheamus emerged for the match – and with good reason . The ferocious Irishman dominated the former WWE Tag Team Champions , helping secure the win for himself and Lawler . WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio may be gutless , but he ’ s not senseless . As he and his personal ring announcer Ricardo Rodriguez faced off against John Cena & Bret Hart in a tag team match , The Mexican Aristocrat tucked tail and ran . Six days before facing Cena at Night of Champions , Del Rio tagged in Ricardo , who had entered the ring for his first - ever match , and scampered up the entrance ramp . Meanwhile , his hapless lackey suffered both an Attitude Adjustment and a painful Sharpshooter on his way to a team loss . U . S . Champion Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger could use a timeout . The petulant pair clashed as Dolph stood at ringside to support manager Vickie Guerrero in her match against Divas Champion Kelly Kelly . Unfortunately for Vickie , Swagger ran down and smacked his blond rival , distracting WWE ’ s resident cougar . As a result , the Divas Champion made easy work of her rival . After the chaos cleared , Beth Phoenix marched to the ring and attempted to level an unsuspecting Kelly . The Divas Champion , however , nailed her Night of Champions adversary before she could attack . World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton has seen better days . The Viper entered into a rematch with Intercontinental Champion Cody Rhodes hoping to gain momentum going into Night of Champions . Instead , any drive Orton may have felt came to an alarming halt . As he battled Rhodes in the non - title match , his Night of Champions opponent , Mark Henry , pulled up a chair and watched from atop the entrance ramp . During the bout , though , The World ’ s Strongest Man began an ominous walk toward the ring . As the frightening figure drew closer , Orton took his eyes off the Intercontinental Champion , who cracked him in the skull with his face mask , causing The Viper to flatten on the canvas . After Rhodes ’ victory , Henry stalked into the ring and drove the steel chair upon which he was sitting onto Orton ’ s back . He then snatched the World Heavyweight Champion ’ s title and held it aloft , vowing to capture it from Orton this Sunday . He ’ s one of the biggest movie stars on the planet , and next week Hugh Jackman will debut in one of his most exciting roles to date as special guest star on the WWE Raw Supershow . The star of the upcoming sci - fi action film Real Steel , Jackman will get the party started just one day after Night of Champions . Technical difficulties , audio problems , microphone malfunctions . Whatever you call it , CM Punk couldn ’ t seem to get a word in edgewise as he and Triple H engaged in a combustible verbal confrontation . The Second City Savior ’ s microphone suddenly shorted out just as he was about to express something he ’ d been dying to say to The Game . The scenario was reminiscent of Punk ’ s now famous diatribe against Triple H , Mr . McMahon and WWE when his mic also quit in the run up to SummerSlam . 09 : 55 A livid Punk cast his suspicions on WWE ’ s Chief Operating Officer , who had a working microphone in his hand . After watching one mic go belly up , The Game offered The Second City Savior his mic . Just as he revved up his verbal engine , though – you guessed it – the second mic failed on him as well . Triple H summoned a third mic from ringside and handed it over . Punk , however , used it to clobber The King of Kings before leaving the ring . While WWE ’ s COO seethed inside the square circle , his antiestablishment rival scowled back at him from the entrance ramp . The very personal animus between Punk and Triple H , who must resign as COO if he loses Sunday , is primed to blow in a No Disqualification Match at Night of Champions .
