The Rock Returns

The first episode of Monday night RAW this year was fully loaded. Kicking off with a fiercely contested battle between the new age American icon John Cena and the Show-Off Dolph Ziggler, it built on the pace with quick matches between Randy Orton and Heath Slater (of the 3mb) followed by Sheamus and Jinder Mahal (of the 3mb).

The focus shifted back once again to Antonio Cesaro, who continued his dominating run as the US Champion, this time pinning The Great Khali. The Intercontinental Champion Wade Barrett also continued with his pristine form knocking down and pinning Santino Marella with his signature move - Bull Hammer.

WWE Champion CM Punk once again successfully defended his championship title against Ryback who was looking good before the intervention of The Shield in a no disqualification Tables Ladders & Chairs match.

The champ returned back again to take centre stage and went on irking the people until The Great One stepped into the ring amidst an electric crowd. The verbal spar continued until The People's Champ finally decided to mow down the WWE Champion with a Rock Bottom to set the stage for Royal Rumble in 20 days.
