July 25 , 2011 Monday Night RAW results The July 25 , 2011 Edition of RAW is a Professional wrestling television show of the WWE ' s RAW brand , which took place on July 25 , 2011 at Hampton Coliseum in Hampton , Virginia . Summary . First things first . When Raw went off the air the week before , there remained unfinished business to attend to , namely determining a new WWE Champion . After eight Superstars were whittled down to two during a WWE Championship Tournament , only Rey Mysterio and The Miz remained . To kick off tonight ’ s show , the pair clashed in a frenzied contest that eventually saw The Master of the 619 capture his first ever WWE Championship . His title reign got off to a tumultuous start . After the match , Rey ’ s petulant opponent , apparently unable to keep his A . D . D . in check , ambushed the freshly - minted champion before stomping off . As if Miz ’ s outburst weren ’ t enough , Mr . Money in the Bank , Alberto Del Rio , then appeared , hoping to cash in his contract . Before he could , however , the new champion flew over the top rope onto his attacker , which sent The Mexican Aristocrat flying and fleeing up the entrance ramp . In addition to all the championship action at the top of the show , WWE ’ s new Chief Operating Officer , Triple H , will assume his role as head of the company later in the program and offer a “ State of the WWE Address . ” Is Vickie Guerrero Dolph Ziggler ’ s lucky charm ? If so , the poor guy may just have to keep her around . Once again , the U . S . Champion prevailed in a match against one of WWE ’ s most agile Superstars , Evan Bourne . The aerial acrobrat proved unable to overcome Ziggler ’ s swiftness and athleticism , succumbing to a sleeper hold . Two blondes plus two brunettes equals one heck of a tag team match . Divas Champion Kelly Kelly teamed with the gorgeous Eve to square off against belligerent beauties Maryse & Melina . Although Kelly looks like a cheerleader , she once again proved she isn ’ t afraid to throw down like a linebacker . The Divas Champion proved her title reign is no fluke when she secured the pin and the victory for her team . Next week , Divas from both Raw and SmackDown will compete in a Diva Battle Royal to determine who will face Kelly Kelly at SummerSlam . Meet the new boss . After relieving Mr . McMahon of his duties last week , Triple H took over as WWE ’ s Chief Operating Officer or COO . This week , a sharply dressed Game addressed the WWE Universe and ushered in several major developments . First , Raw would host an unprecedented second WWE Title Match later in the evening between recently crowned WWE Champion Rey Mysterio and John Cena . The second bombshell dropped shortly afterward : WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross would be returning to the Raw announce desk . When The Game announced the decision , current announcer Michael Cole mouthed off in protest . As a result , Triple H arranged a match for him later in the evening against an as - yet - unnamed opponent . While wrapping up his address , The Cerebral Assassin was interrupted by a clearly imbalanced R - Truth . After enduring the crackpot ’ s latest batch of conspiracy theories , Triple H introduced the man Truth had put on the shelf : John Morrison . The recuperated Shaman of Sexy darted into the ring and unleashed his frustrations on Truth , leaving him immobile in the ring . After abandoning his post earlier in the program , announcer Michael Cole was made to pay , thanks to WWE ’ s new COO , Triple H . The Superstar collecting the toll ? Zack Ryder . The Long Island Iced Z punished the egotistical talking head and gave his legion of “ Bro - skis ” something to cheer about . Woo ! Woo ! Woo ! You know it ! Alberto Del Rio quickly figured out that coasting on your accomplishments is the quickest course to obscurity in WWE . In the wake of his astounding Money in the Bank victory , The Mexican Aristocrat dropped focus in an upset loss to Kofi Kingston last week . This week , however , Mr . Money in the Bank came correct , halting his slide as well as any momentum for the Dreadlock Dynamo . The capacity crowd inside the Hampton Coliseum might want to save their ticket stubs . It was a night to remember for the WWE Universe . In an unprecedented second WWE Championship Match of the night , newly minted WWE Champion Rey Mysterio was forced to defend the title he won less than two hours earlier against one of WWE ’ s toughest competitors , John Cena . As the two sportsmen competed , it eventually became clear that The Cenation Commander - in - Chief would overpower Rey ’ s agile assault and capture his ninth WWE Championship . In the carnival of celebration , however , one competitor emerged to dispute the legitimacy of Cena ’ s reign . CM Punk shocked the WWE faithful when , after having departed the company two weeks earlier , he surfaced inside the arena carrying his WWE Title . The audience , as well as millions at home , watched the confrontation , the tension , the body language . Which man would blink first ? Which WWE Champion was the rightful heir to WWE ’ s most coveted object ? In the frenzied air of anticipation , however , there would be no determination . The Second City Savior and The Champ merely stood hoisting their respective WWE Titles skyward , as if to declare their proper place in the history books despite the protests of the other .
