WWE Monday night Raw (4/1/13)

"Then. Now. Forever." The WWE video leads us into the show.

A video with highlights from WrestleMania last night airs.

We go to the arena where Jerry "The King" Lawler and Jim Ross welcome us to the show live from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The WWE Champion John Cena comes out to a big crowd reaction. John Cena says that the nightmare is over and despite all what Paul Heyman and Brock Lesnar tried to do we are still here. The WWE Universe is still here and the Champ is still here. Cena says that later on we will hear from Paul Heyman in what will most likely be a very interesting meeting with the COO Triple H. Cena says that he doesn't know the whereabouts of Brock Lesnar but he says he is sure that after the beating he took last night he think about it very carefully before coming back to the WWE and try to cause havoc again. Cena says that WrestleMania 29 is now behind us. He says it seems like yesterday since he wake up a morning and said to himself "9 more months for WrestleMania". Yet, time passes by and WrestleMania passed by as well and it delivered a show that will be remembered forever as one of the greatest if not the greatest, WrestleMania of all time. Cena says we had a Deathmatch, a No Holds Barred match, a Money in the Bank Ladder match, a Boiler Room Brawl and so much more. But the one match that he believes made everyone hold their breath was the main event. Shawn Michaels vs The Rock. Two Icons, two legendary figures of the WWE, two of the best ever locked horns in what was an epic showdown. Cena says that this was the greatest main event in WrestleMania history and he is proud to say that he has main evented WrestleMania with both HBK and The Rock. Cena says WrestleMania season is over but the action never stops because he is the WWE Champion and even though he got his ass handed to him last night he is ready for competition. Cena says that he is ready for the next one who is gonna challenge him for the WWE Title. Suddenly, the Divas Champion AJ comes out. AJ starts skipping around Cena with the Divas title on her shoulder. AJ says that last night she became the new Divas Champion for the 2nd time. Yet no one seems to care and that makes her a little mad. She says that now that the Divas are back on Raw and SmackDown, and she is the Divas Champion, people will forget about Cena and the Rock and Shawn Michaels and they will all talk about AJ and how cute she looks with that Divas title. Cena says that AJ made it from being a small girl to a champion and last week she had her WrestleMania moment. Even if it was on the pre-show it was still WrestleMania. He says that other people would kill to have a WrestleMania moment so AJ shouldn't be mad but happy for having hers. AJ says that she will be happy when people stop talking about him and start talking about her. She says that she wants a match against Cena tonight. Cena laughs and says that's not going to happen. EXCUSE ME! The assistant GM of Raw, Vickie Guerrero comes out and says that with the end of WrestleMania season, a new season is ready to begin and it includes the rise of the WWE Divas division. She says that tonight the Divas Champion will beat the WWE Champion but not in a one on one contest. It will be a mixed tag team match and both AJ and Cena will get to pick their tag team partners. AJ says she likes that and she has already come up with a tag team partner. AJ skips around Cena before leaving the ring.

Triple H says that after getting his ass kicked last night, we can only assume that we will not hear from Brock Lesnar in a long time but whenever Brock decides to come back he is welcome to do so because he might be a hated figure but he is a phenomenal athlete as well.

Heyman says that this isn't over and it will never be over. HHH says that he was only giving him Vince's message. Trips there is something he wanted to get off his chest as well. HHH kicks Heyman and hits a Pedigree as the crowd cheers on. Triple H kicks Heyman out of the ring and says that the WWE will live forever. Triple H celebrates in the ring as we go to credits.

Things are going strong over here I see! Amazing WrestleMania! Everything was so well written. I got a nice kick out of the segment with Psy and Hawkins lol. I also hope things aren't over between Brock Lesnar and Cena. Because that Death match was really good! But as things went on Raw, Titus O'Neil and John Cena could make a good rivalry if that is possibly in the makings after that Main Event? Keep it up man, love your work!

If Ya Smell!! The Rock comes out to a huge crowd reaction in Washington. Rock says that WrestleMania 29 will go down in history as the greatest WrestleMania of all time. He says that his match against Shawn Michaels will be remembered as an epic showdown between two Icons, never before and never again. Rock says that he had tons of respect for Shawn Michaels before but after the match they had, after the performance that this retired old cow had at WrestleMania he can now say that Shawn Michaels is the best in ring performer in the world. Rock says that there never will another Shawn Michaels just like there never will be a WrestleMania main event like this one. He says that he and Shawn did what they promised to do and they gave the world the greatest main event in history. He says that they delivered a spectacular main event. The Rock hit Rock Bottoms, People's Elbow's and even a Rock Bottom off the top but still Shawn Michaels would kick out. Kick out after kick out after kick out. Shawn survived the Rock's Sharpshooter and even put the Rock into a Sharpshooter of his own. Rock says he got his teeth kicked down his throat and he was so close in defeat but in the end the Rock prevealed with one last Rock Bottom. Rock says that he might have won that match but in reality there was not just one winner. He says that everybody was a winner. The WWE Universe was the winner because they got to witness a classic Dream match that they will never get to see again. Rock says that now he face everyone there was for him to face. Every Dream match that needed to happen has happened. But now The Rock has a different goal. The Rock has done it all except from beating a certain superstar whom he failed to beat the first and only time they locked horns. He says that after failing to beat that man he felt like he didn't have it anymore but after the match he had with HBK he feels like it's time to throw the challenge. The challenge for a rematch. CM Punk's theme hits. CM Punk comes out and interrupts the Rock. Punk says that Rock might have faced Shawn Michaels, Triple H, The Undertaker, John Cena, Stone Cold and Hulk Hogan but he has never faced the Best Wrestler in the World. Punk says that until he beats CM Punk he is not the Great One, he's nothing. Rock as Punk who in the blue hell he is. Punk goes to answer and Rock interrupts him saying that it doesn't matter who he is. Rock says that Punk interrupted him just when he was about to announce something huge. Rock tells Punk to get the hell out of the ring before he gets his candy ass kicked all over the arena. Punk demands that the Rock takes him seriously. He says that he carries this industry ever since the Rock left to become a movie star. Punk says that he created a legacy of his own and unlike Rock he wasn't given anything. Rock says that he wasn't given anything either. He says that he accomplished what he accomplished because he had the people chanting his name and screaming that Finally, the Rock has come back to Washington! Punk says that's impressive...not. He says that Rock became successful because of the people but he became successful in-spite the people. He says that he is the man that Rock needs to beat in order to solidify himself as the Great One. Rock says that he has already solidified himself as the Great One and he did it in front of the millions...AND millions of the Rock's fans all around the world. Punk says that once again Rock is using the people to stay relevant. He says that Rock's match with HBK was indeed epic but nothing can compare to what the world will witness when the People's Champ faces the Voice of the Voiceless, the actual People's Champ. Rock asks the crowd if they want to see this match and they cheer. Rock says he needs to think about it and Punk asks him to bring it or get the F out of here. Rock tells Punk that he is going to bring it and he will do it on one term. If Punk brings something as well. If CM Punk wins the WWE Championship and retains the championship until this August then at SummerSlam, the biggest party of the Summer it's going to be The Rock vs CM Punk for the WWE Championship. Punk says that it will be an even bigger pleasure to beat him for the WWE Title so it's on. Rock warns him that if he fails to win the WWE Title until then, or if he fails to retain it until SummerSlam he will lose this chance to meet the Great One at SummerSlam. Punk says that he will win the WWE Championship and defend it successfully until and AT SummerSlam where he will beat Dwayne and shove down everybody's throat that he is the best in the world. Rock tells him to just bring it.

Mr. McMahon comes out. Τhe ring is decorated with a black carpet, four podiums, a table, and a chair. Vince takes a seat and says that in this debate each competitor that will compete in the WWE Championship Fatal 4 Way match at Backlash will come out here and explain what it means to him to win the WWE Title. If he is not satisfied by their answers then he will call the match off. Out first is Kane followed by Cody Rhodes. CM Punk comes out next along with security guards which he says are here to make sure that Kane doesn't get his hands on him. The WWE Champion John Cena comes out to the classic mixed crowd reaction. The four superstars take their spots at the four podiums. Vince asks Rhodes how important it is to him to win the WWE Title this Sunday. Rhodes says that since day one that he came to the WWE he was Dusty Rhodes' son. And every time he tried to get off this shadow he was called Goldust's brother. Rhodes says that instead of helping his career, his family has been keeping him down. Rhodes says that when he join the Legacy with Randy Orton and Ted Dibiase he wasn't ready yet. He says that when he became "Dashing" Cody Rhodes it started. He started to slowly make his own mark in the WWE. When he defeated Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania he knew that he was close. And after winning the Intercontinental title twice he realized that it wasn't good enough. He had to get to the big leagues. When he defeated Mick Foley in the Boiler Room Brawl his soul became pure again and his mind became clear. He knew that his time was now. He says that if he doesn't win the WWE Championship at Backlash he will go back to step 1 where he will try to find a big dog to jump on so he can stay relevant. Rhodes says he needs to win the WWE Championship because the future of his career depends on it. Vince says that was good and he gives the word to Kane. Kane says that he has been in the WWE for 16 years and in those 16 years he ended careers, he faced the best, he made teams, he betrayed and was betrayed, he got married, he broke a wedding, he teamed up with his big brother and he made his own legacy. But in this legacy he is known for winning the WWE Championship and losing it in 24 hours. Kane says that people are still taunting him about that and they still consider him to be the weak link between him and his brother the Undertaker. Kane says he is a lot of things but not a weak link. He says that he will the WWE Championship at Backlash and keep it for longer than 24 hours. He says that he will do and go through anything to do that. He says he will beat Cody Rhodes because he is not Mankind. He says he will beat CM Punk because this time he will not underestimate him. He says he will beat John Cena because he can see him. Kane says that the gates of hell will open when he brings the WWE Championship back to the dark side. CM Punk is next and he says that the reason he wants to win the WWE Championship is pretty simple. The WWE Championship belongs to the best. He says that he is the best in the world so this title belongs to him. Punk says that when he started in the WWE no one thought that he would accomplish everything he has accomplish to date. He says that he won the WWE Championship in his hometown two years ago and he promised change. But that change never came because he trusted the WWE Universe. He trusted them to be his followers, yet what did they do? Nothing. They did nothing when he was forced to defend the WWE Championship last May against Jack Swagger just 24 hours after winning a Ladder match against Chris Jericho. Punk says that this is when his downfall started because instead of getting read of those "followers" he kept carrying about providing them with entertainment. And that's why instead of refusing to compete against Brock Lesnar like a normal person would do, he faced that beast in a Deathmatch and his career almost ended. He says that the people turned their back on him way before he turned his back on them. He says that he has a 2nd chance to win the WWE Championship and finally bring change to the WWE. And this time he will do that in-spite the WWE Universe. Cena asks Punk to cut the crap out. Vince tells him it's not his time to speak yet. Cena tells Punk that the reason he wants to win the WWE Championship at Backlash is because that's the only way he gets to face The Rock at SummerSlam. He says that Punk never got over the fact that he wasn't the one that faced the Rock at WrestleMania last year but Cena was. He says that Punk wanted to represent the modern era against the Attitude Era the Rock represented but he wasn't in that match and if he was he would probably lose. He says that Rock is not an old man. He is an extremely talented, charismatic and unpredictable warrior. Cena says that WrestleMania 28 he beat the Rock because he was one step ahead. He says that it could have gone either way. He says that if Punk wins the WWE Title and holds on to it until SummerSlam he will lose it to the Rock and then change will come because a part time superstar will be the WWE Champion. Cena says that this is exactly why he will win at Backlash. And he will keep the WWE Title for as long as he can. He will make sure that CM Punk doesn't face the Rock at SummerSlam for the title. Punk says if Cena could beat Rock then he is pretty sure he can do it as well. Punk says that he is better than the Rock simply because he is the best in the world. Punk says that he beat Cena in the past multiple times for the WWE Championship. He beat Kane at WrestleMania and he sure as hell can beat little Cody - finds puberty - Rhodes. All four men starts arguing now and Vince tells them to shut the hell up. He says he is looking forward to that Fatal 4 Way match at Backlash. Kane makes his pyro explode from the ring posts to end the segment.
