WWE RAW
Wk. 3, Nov. '11
Pre-show: Sheffield d. Curtis (51); Kelly/Melissa d. Bellas (52)
-JOHN LAURINITS opens the show! HHH was unable to be here after the vicious attack on him last week, so Laurinitis has assumed command of Raw for the time being! Speaking of the attack, he'd like to speak with the nWo right now. Punk and the gang oblige, as Punk measures Laurinitis up. Punk says he's not going to apologize for what he did, and that the nWo will continue removing problem elements until they have achieved change. Laurinitis did not call them out to berate them. They did what they had to do, and he respects that. He wants to see if they're strong enough to change the system, and has thusly booked all of them in matches tonight! Punk seems okay with that, and leaves. Laurinitis also wants to introduce some special friends! Welcome back AWESOME TRUTH! He brought them over from SD because they were treated poorly when fired from Raw. This brings out Cena, who strongly objects to such a poison being brought back on the show, but Laurinitis tells him that if he has a problem, he and Morrison can fight Awesome Truth tonight!

-Tag Title Match: Air Boom (c) v. Slater and Drew
Not the squash one might expect, but Air Boom get the win anyway.
Rating: 68
-Reks and Hawkins come out to challenge Air Boom to defend the belts against a REAL team! Air Boom thinks that's a good idea.
Rating: 66
-Match: Ryan and Riley v. Punk
Punk is just that much better, and barely has any issues here.
Rating: 73
-Match: Trish v. Serena
Trish struggles against the nWo's token female, but eventually manages a close win.
Rating: 78
-Match: Primo v. Masters
It's hard to tell which is more painful- the Masterlock, or this match in general. We're not sure which, but Primo submits to at least one of them.
Rating: 43
Poor chemistry
-HURRITINO are out to the ring. Santino runs down the nWo on the mic, with Hurricane interjecting randum WASSUPWITDATs.
Rating: 66
-Match: Santino/Hurricane v. Nash/X-Pac
Santino's one hope spot ends with a blocked Cobra, and the nWo get another win.
Rating: 73
-Laurinitis and Punk are shown watching a monitor backstage. Punk seems pleased at his stable's performance tonight, and a thoughtful Laurinitis invites him to his office to discuss something.
Rating: 79
-Match: Gabriel v. AAE
Gabriel wins the filler match of the night.
Rating: 62
-Vickie, Ziggler, and Swagger are out to talk some trash. Vickie hypes up her boys, touting them as the future of the industry while Tommy Dreamer is the past.
Rating: 81
-Match: Kane/Dreamer v. ZigSwag
ADR joins for commentary, and predictably runs in at a crucial time. He gets the jump on Kane, but technically gives him a DQ win.
Rating: 71
-Kane starts fighting back, and he and Del Rio brawl all over ringside and into the crowd!
Rating: 83
-Match: Cena/Morrison v. Awesome Truth
Awesome Truth get a surprising clean victory in an otherwise ho-hum main event.
Rating: 83
Poor psychology you would think my ME talent would have the hang of this whole "wrestling" idea
-Awesome Truth celebrate the big win, but the nWo are out! A silent agreement seems to be reached when Cena takes a GTS, and the united heel front wipes the floor with Cena and Morrison!
Rating: 84
Post-show: Kane interrupts Punk (87); Kane/Air Boom d. Punk/Awesome Truth by a botched ADR interference (68)
