LAST TIME ON RAW

In the main event, there was no doubt that John Cena and Sheamus had their work cut out for them as GM John Laurinaitis threw the Superstars into a 2-on-3 handicap Lumberjack match against Lord Tensai, Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger. . Isolating The Great White at a distance from his tag team partner, Tensai twisted and yanked on Sheamus' head like it was a stripped screw. Remarkably, Sheamus found the momentum he needed to tag Cena, and The Cenation Leader followed with a couple of turbocharged shoulder blocks. A huge brawl then broke out as the locker room emptied and a horde of Superstars rushed to the ring to exchange blows with the lumberjacks. Meanwhile, Big Show watched all the chaos unfold from the stage. The melee raged on and Cena went to the backstage area where he was knocked out cold by Big Show's ferocious WMD for the second night in a row.

Daniel Bryan is not a happy camper. The irate submission specialist showed the crowd photos of his WWE Over the Limit match against CM Punk, alleging that the WWE Champion tapped out to the "Yes!" Lock before Punk notched the pinfall. The Straight Edge Superstar retorted that the count of 1-2-3 obviously happened first, which makes any submission afterward irrelevant. To be fair, as announcer Michael Cole pointed out, Bryan still proved to the WWE Universe that he could make the WWE Champion tap out. The Second City Savior then revealed that Bryan's next opponent would be none other than Kane! With Punk dishing out some running commentary, Bryan did his best to wear down The Big Red Monster. But as Punk toyed with Bryan on the outside, Kane used the extra time to recover, then drove the former World Heavyweight Champ into the mat with a massive chokeslam for the victory. Following the match, Punk added insult to injury by locking Bryan in an excruciating Anaconda Vise.

The new Intercontinental Champion is proving he's ready to be an all-out workhorse. Christian, just one day after participating in a 20-Man Battle Royal and shocking Cody Rhodes, made his return to Raw to defend his title against Jinder Mahal. Less than 24 hours after competing in two intense battles at WWE Over the Limit, Captain Charisma rallied back against Mahal and hit the Killswitch. Christian didn't go for the pin there, however, opting to finish Jinder off with a surprising frog splash for the emphatic victory.

In other action... John Cena made quick work of David Otunga... Santino Marella hit Ricardo Rodriguez with the cobra... Chris Jericho landed multiple Codebreakers on Randy Orton... and Beth Phoenix pinned Kelly Kelly.
