Moments after the live Finale of WWE Tough Enough that saw Tough Enough Host and WWE Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin named the winner of Tough Enough as big Andy Leavine before Andy was slapped hard across the face by WWE Chairman Mr. McMahon and hit with the Stunner by Stone Cold Steve Austin, RAW would kick off with the unbalanced R-Truth marching out in a Confederate soldier outfit, joining Stone Cold and Mr. McMahon in the ring! As demanded by the anonymous General Manager of RAW and with his WWE Title shot at Capitol Punishment on the line, R-Truth would then mockingly apologize to “big Jimmy and little Jimmy” for his actions last week, as well as apologizing for spilling the soda! Truth then proclaims that he is “seceding” from the WWE just like the Confederacy did some 150 years ago! Truth continues that he is the “victim” of a “company-wide conspiracy”, which Mr. McMahon responds to by telling R-Truth that Truth can do what Stone Cold Steve Austin has been made to do many times by visiting the office of Mr. McMahon!
The former WWE Champion, The Miz, then interrupts and states that, had it not been for his former protégé, Alex Riley, he would still be the WWE Champion and he deserves another title shot! This brings out Alex Riley, who tells Miz that what Miz “deserves” is a third beat down! WWE Champion John Cena then joins everyone in the ring as Cena states that Mr. McMahon is “out of patience”, The Miz is “out of excuses”, Alex Riley is “out for vengeance”, Stone Cold Steve Austin is “almost out of beer”, and R-Truth is “out of his mind”! Cena then gets to the “facts” by saying that he made The Miz scream “I Quit”, so The Miz will not get another title shot and Miz should stop being a “jack wagon” before saying that he does not “like” Alex Riley, but he’s glad to see that Riley has a “set” by attacking The Miz the last couple of weeks! Cena then tells R-Truth that Truth has got his one-on-one shot at the WWE Title, so Truth should take off the Confederacy outfit! The anonymous General Manager of RAW then chimes in with an email, but when Michael Cole gets up to get ready to read the email, Mr. McMahon tells Cole to “shut up” before handling the announcement himself as the WWE Chairman announces that the main event of RAW will see the new #1 Contender for the WWE Title, R-Truth, team with the former WWE Champion, The Miz, to face Alex Riley and WWE Champion John Cena with Hall of Famer Stone Cold Steve Austin as the Special Referee!

One week after mocking and attempting to embarrass Kharma moments after Kharma made the shocking announcement that she is pregnant and will be gone from the WWE for a year, Divas Champion Brie Bella would team with her twin sister, Nikki Bella, to face the team of Kelly Kelly & Beth Phoenix!

Two weeks after his personal ring announcer, Ricardo Rodriguez, was responsible for running over the knee of Big Show in a 2011 Ferrari Spider, “The Mexican Aristocrat” Alberto Del Rio would appear on RAW and claim again that what happened two weeks ago was an “accident” before calling Big Show out to the ring, which brings out Ricardo Rodriguez, who is dressed as a Big Show imposter, complete with crutches, padding, a sandwich, and a catcher’s mitt for a hand! Alberto Del Rio would then ask the faux Big Show that, if he gave him food, would Big Show drop any charges and the faux Show roars his approval, but Del Rio refuses before telling the faux Show to “never disrespect” him again! As Ricardo Rodriguez takes off his disguise, Alberto Del Rio addresses the real Big Show by telling Show not to make him his “enemy” because it will result in Big Show getting “hurt” before saying that it is a “promise” and that “bad things happen to bad people”! What will happen when Big Show actually does return to the WWE to confront Alberto Del Rio?

After the match, Evan Bourne would rush out and lure Jack Swagger back into the ring where Booker T would hit the legendary Scissors Kick on Swagger, which would leave Swagger prone for Air Bourne by Evan Bourne before Booker and Bourne would take part in a double Spin-a-rooni! How will Jack Swagger respond to being embarrassed by Evan Bourne three weeks in a row?

With Stone Cold Steve Austin and WWE Champion John Cena celebrating in the ring, the anonymous General Manager of RAW chimes in with an email that states that, due to “blatantly” overstepping his boundaries as the Special Referee, the GM is ruling that R-Truth & The Miz are the winners of the main event via disqualification! With Stone Cold looking ready for a fight, the GM chimes in with a second email that reveals that next week’s 3-hour WWE All-Star Night edition of RAW, he is naming Stone Cold Steve Austin the official Special Guest General Manager for the three-hour extravaganza! The Hall of Famer’s business would not be done, however, as Stone Cold Steve Austin would head to the outside of the ring and knock the GM’s laptop and stand down before grabbing Michael Cole and delivering a right hand to the cocky commentator before throwing Cole into the ring and delivering the Stone Cold Stunner to Cole, followed by the Attitude Adjustment by John Cena! With Cole laid out in the middle of the ring, Stone Cold would tell Cole that he looks forward to seeing Cole “first hand” on next week’s 3-Hour WWE All-Star Night RAW!
