Last night we saw Big E Langston attack John Cena at the end of Raw. What is next for the most obtuse love triangle in the history of sports entertainment. Where does Langston fit in the diagram? The Big Show used a big chair to win on Sunday. Sheamus used the big chair to almost cost Show the title on Monday.
This week, we are live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and your announcers are Josh ‘Maybe Miz and Del Rio should get Sidney Crosby to be their tag team partner’ Mathews, Michael ‘Sid Bream’ Cole, and John ‘Did you know that Alberto Del Rio comes from Mexico’s Most Famous Wrestling Family. . . and if you didn’t I will tell you five times tonight’ Layfield.
We begin the show with MizTV and he is in the ring with his furniture. He welcomes everyone to his show. He has a special episode because there are no commercials. Miz says that his guests shocked the world on Sunday and did more damage than Lindsay Lohan and a moving vehicle. They could not explain their actions on Raw, but they will get the chance tonight.
Dolph Ziggler, AJ Lee, and Big E Langston make their way to the ring and we see some highlights.
Miz asks WHY?
AJ responds with some reallys. She tells Miz to bring John Cena on the show to ask how he toyed with her heart. Then this would make more sense. She lost her job on Raw because she wanted to keep John Cena’s good name clean. She thought it was worth it because ‘this’ happened. We see footage of their first kiss on Raw.
AJ says that won a Slammy Award. She thought it brought them closer together and the start of something where they would take it to the next level, but she was wrong. John Cena was playing with her heart and emotions. She wanted to shout their love from the rooftop and she even made gifts for John.

AJ says that Cena thought he was thinking about her safety, but she was being kept at arm’s length as their secret. He was supposed to be different than Daniel Bryan and CM Punk. She loved them and they used her. They threw her away like she was trash. Cena was supposed to be better than that.

Cena can win the Slammy for Superstar of the Year. He doesn’t need Slammys. At TLC, not only did he keep his Money in the Bank contract . . . when it comes to John Cena, he stole the show . . . and his girlfriend.
Miz says that he hopes that Dolph can please each of AJ’s personalities. Miz mentions Dolph’s choice in women. Miz goes through the list and calls Dolph the sixth member of One Direction.

Punk says that it has been 394 days. The longest WWE Championship reign in the modern era. In twenty years, everyone, like Grey’s Sports Almanac and consider him as the greatest of all time. However, the mutants could not put their ignorance or bias aside and do the right thing and vote for him as Superstar of the Year.
Instead, the Slammys were turned into a sham of a popularity show and voted for John Cena. Winning and losing does not mean much to the WWE Universe. They must sign up their kids to play in T-Ball where there is no score being kept.
Not only should women not be allowed to vote, it is the men too. Punk says that he expects that sort of behavior from losers. That is the law of the jungle. In the world, there are winners . . . Paul Heyman and himself . . . and there are losers. He expected more from John Cena. You could see on Cena’s face that he knows that he was not the Superstar of the Year and that CM Punk was the better man.

Punk says that he sets the Gold Standard. Two weeks after surgery, no one else would be in the ring. They would be at home popping pain pills. Punk says that no one else in Pittsburgh is entertaining them and those women known as the Pittsburgh Penguins are on strike. CM Punk does not go on strike and there is no offseason. He is the person you pay to see on television every week.
Punk says that he will be back next year with Paul Heyman holding the title over his head. No one will beat him. Not John Cena, not Ryback, not Ric Flair, not The Rock, not Steve Austin.
