August 8 , 2011 Monday Night RAW results The August 8 , 2011 Edition of RAW was a televised Professional wrestling event by the WWE ' s RAW brand , which took place on August 8 , 2011 at the HP Pavilion At San Jose in San Jose , California . Summary . With only six days to go before one of the most important nights in WWE history , Triple H dropped another bomb on the WWE Universe — the Undisputed WWE Championship Match between WWE Champion John Cena and WWE Champion CM Punk will have a special guest referee . Believing that a bout of this magnitude is too important to risk outside interference or underhanded maneuvers , WWE ’ s Chief Operating Officer revealed that he ’ s enlisted the help of the one man he knows who can get the job done right — himself . As if that wasn ’ t enough to stir up the WWE Universe , Triple H then announced that Cena and Punk will sign their SummerSlam contract tonight . John Cena isn ’ t the type of competitor who cracks under pressure . Moments after trading strong words with the special guest referee in his Undisputed WWE Championship Match against CM Punk at SummerSlam , The Champ had to lock up with the always dangerous Jack Swagger . A standout collegiate wrestler and former World Heavyweight Champion , “ The All - American American ” is not a Superstar to be taken lightly , but Cena didn ’ t let his opponent ’ s pedigree intimidate him . Battering the big man before putting him down with an Attitude Adjustment , the West Newbury , Mass . - native sent a clear message to both Punk and Triple H — The Champ is here . What was supposed to be a rematch between Rey Mysterio and The Miz quickly spiraled out of control when The Awesome One brutally attacked his rival before Mysterio even had a chance to enter the ring . It was an audacious assault , but The Miz didn ’ t have much time to gloat as Triple H immediately sent word that the smug Superstar would now face Kofi Kingston . Before The Cleveland Screamer could protest , The Dreadlocked Dynamo launched himself at his opponent , battering The Miz with his patented controlled frenzy . The rapid attack was nearly too much for the former WWE Champion to handle , but the devious Superstar survived , nailing the Skull - Crushing Finale out of nowhere for the win . Irate , but unsurprised by Triple H ’ s announcement earlier in the evening , CM Punk stated that the COO would be wise to stay out of his way at SummerSlam . But , for now , The Straight Edge Superstar was focused on an immediate challenge — Alberto Del Rio . Following Cena ’ s victory over Swagger , Punk knew he had to come up big in his match against The Mexican Aristocrat . After all , how would it look if the controversial competitor was beaten mere days before the biggest bout of his career ? Rising to the occasion , Punk was vicious against the Money in the Bank winner , picking Del Rio apart with blistering strikes before putting him to bed with the Go To Sleep . If Cena sent Punk a message before , “ the voice of the voiceless ” responded here . Last Monday night , Beth Phoenix shocked the WWE Universe when she brutalized Divas Champion Kelly Kelly after winning a battle royal to become the No . 1 contender to the beauty ’ s title . Tonight , she made it clear that the attack was no accident . After smashing the talented Eve , The Glamazon grabbed the microphone and again stated that the era of pretty Divas dominating WWE is over . Yet , just as Beth made her way to the locker room , she was cracked out of nowhere by a fiery Kelly Kelly . Not one to be intimidated , the gorgeous competitor is definitely ready for Sunday ’ s showdown with the powerful Glamazon . Some guys just don ’ t know how to take criticism . Furious with Alex Riley ’ s suggestion that he drop Vickie Guerrero and succeed on his own merit , Dolph Ziggler was ready to make A - Ry regret his remarks tonight . Bringing the fight to Riley , the brash Superstar seemed destined for victory , but Vickie interfered in the action before either man could triumph . The loudmouth ’ s intrusion led to the official giving Riley the win via disqualification . Clearly irritated with the loss , Ziggler bickered with his associate after the bout before the cougar stormed away from the ring in a rage . After spending more than three months on the sidelines with a serious neck injury , John Morrison finally had the opportunity to go one - on - one with the man who put him there — R - Truth . Looking to get a receipt on the dangerous Superstar , The Guru of Greatness came at Truth with a flurry of unpredictable offense — even leaping out of the ring onto his opponent . It was a thrilling effort from Morrison , but JoMo is clearly still trying to find his feet following his injury . By targeting the neck , Truth was able to debilitate his adversary and win the bout . The WWE Universe expected a tense confrontation in this contract signing and that ’ s exactly what they got . Mediated by Triple H and WWE Executive Vice President of Talent Relations John Laurinaitis , the summit started off ugly when CM Punk showed a video of The Rock bashing John Cena on Facebook . Tearing The Champ ’ s catchphrases and clothing to shreds , The Great One made a hilarious mockery of the powerful Superstar . It was a damning monologue , but one Cena took in stride . After all , The Champ realized some people may have a problem with him , but he ’ s always been more concerned with the fans that are in his corner . Since 2002 , the WWE Champion has been a proud and hardworking Superstar who gives every bit of his energy to positively representing the company . And while Cena was busting his hump , Punk was off complaining that he didn ’ t get fair treatment . It was a strong argument that Triple H respected , but The Second City Saint was quick to strike back . Accusing The Champ of being a failed bodybuilder who settled for a career as a sports - entertainer , Punk claimed that he worked harder to get to where he is than Cena ever could . On Sunday , The Straight Edge Superstar would prove this by beating his rival in the center of the ring . Undeterred , Cena made it clear that if Punk fails on Sunday he ’ ll be nothing more than a one hit wonder . With tensions now at a boil , both Superstars agreed that the talking had gone on long enough and stood face - to - face . But when Punk took a swing at The Champ , he connected with Mr . Laurinaitis instead . It was a melee from there with Punk and Cena brawling in the ring while the COO attempted to pull them apart . When The Game finally got some order , the tattooed titleholder stood on the outside of the ring looking in at Triple H and The Champ . In that unique moment , there were two WWE Champions . Come Sunday , there will be only one .
