Randy Orton vs. Daniel Bryan:
This match starts off with Bryan cornering Randy in the corner each exchanging a few shots but ends in a ropebreak on Bryan. The match is led outside the ring, and Orton gets a clothesline on the pavement that looks lethal. Orton continues to bash on Daniel and throws him on the commentator's table. The match then proceeds to become completely out off outside the ring concluding with a few referees trying to break them apart ending in a No Contest.
The show then proceeds backstage with Vicky Guerrero and Brad Maddox discussing their plans for the show tonight. They are abruptly interrupted by Daniel Bryan shouting "No! No! No!" He wants another rematch with Orton and claims there must be a winner. Vicky Guerrero grants him a rematch with Orton But Mr. McMahon enters the room and claims that some members of the WWE Universe don't believe Daniel Bryan should wrestle for the WWE and that he is an embarrassment. Vince says it is still their choice to book the show and tells them to just think about it, while he leaves the room.
Rhode Scholars vs. Sheamus and Christian
A pretty back and forth match ending with Sheamus executing a Brogue Kick on Rhodes for the pinfall.
Winner: Sheamus and Christian.
Backstage CM Punk approaches Vicky asking if she's seen Paul Heyman or Brock Lesnar in which she replies there not here. Vicky also decides to tell Punk that he is going to be in a match tonight but completely disregards Vicky and continues texting on his phone.

Kaityln (w/Layla) vs. Aksana
The match starts with Kaitlyn punching Aksana a few rounds and her drop kicking Aksana out of the ring. Kaitlyn's music then begins to play, and AJ comes to the ring in a "Kaitlyn costume." AJ tries to distract Kaitlyn from the match and Aksana attempts to take advantage with a roll up but Kaitlyn kicks up and spears Aksana for the win.

Chris Jericho vs. Alberto del Rio (w/Ricardo Rodriguez)
A pretty fair match but ends in a disqualification when Rodriquez runs into the ring and hits Jericho with his bucket while he was performing The Walls on Rio.

Jericho then thanks Ziggler and pats him on the back but Ziggler gets revenge from last week and ZigZags Jericho.
Winner: Jericho (by DQ)
We are then once again led backstage to Vicky Guerrero and Brad Maddox continuing to discuss plans for the night. All we hear is Vicky telling Maddox to cancel it but then Triple H enters the scene. Hunter says he heard a bad rumor that Vicky was planning on canceling the Orton vs. Bryan rematch. Vicky says she was because Vince convinced her that there should be no rematch. HHH comments that it doesn't matter what anyone thinks except the WWE Universe, and they want to see a rematch. HHH suggests VIcky listening to him for now on if she wants to succeed in the business.
The new WWE 2K14 cover is then revealed by Lawler and the reveal receives a nice pop as it features The Rock as previously announced.
Great Khali (w/Natalya and Hornswoggle) vs. Ryback
A pretty short match with a nice finish of Ryback getting the ShellShock for the pinfall.
Winner: Ryback
There is a small pointless speech with Cena in the ring talking about the WWE Championship and how Mark Henry doesn't deserve to be a Champion and all that nonsense.
Number One Contender's Match for WWE Tag Titles: Tons of Funk (w/ The Funkadactyls) vs The Usos vs 3MB (w/ Heath Slater)
Not the most exciting match but the Usos shortly get the pinfall and are victorious. Shield's music then hits and they stare down Usos from their usual entry point into the arena.
Winner: The Usos
Paul Heyman then enters the arena and says that he knows what everyone is waiting for. He admits to ignoring Punk's text messages and phone calls because he feels they need to be face to face. CM Punk then comes out to the ring, and tells the WWE Universe why he is really a "Paul Heyman Guy." He discusses how he started in WWE Development territories and that Heyman was in charge. Punk said he was aware that many executives in management wanted him fired but Heyman refused to do so. He then says he has two things to say: Heyman, tell Lesnar he is coming for him, and he doesn't care how big he is.
Punk now says he needs to discuss his and Heyman's relationship, and he needs to know if Lesnar acted on his own behalf. Heyman then swears on his children that he didn't know Lesnar was at Raw last week. Heyman then comments that there is a bit of a professional jealousy between Lesnar and Punk. Punk and Heyman then momentarily makeup but Punk does look disappointed.

Stephanie says not to worry and that she will announce them herself.
