WWE 2012: Starting After SummerSlam 08/19/12

The show starts with the signature opening video and pyrotechnics display. Afterwards, we go to the commentators table where we see Michael Cole & Jerry Lawler. They tell us that we will be having the following match ups tonight, Antonio Cesaro vs. Santino for a rematch for the US Championship and Randy Orton vs. Daniel Bryan. Michael Cole also informs us that Triple H’s arm is indeed broken, and Brock Lesnar will not be coming tonight, as he doesn’t feel like we deserve to be in his presence.

As soon as Michael Cole is done speaking, we see CM Punk coming down to the ring screaming, “Best In The World.” He gets in the ring and starts talking about, how he is still the WWE Champion and how he, once again, overcame the odds. He goes on to say that he is declaring that he is issuing an open challenge for the WWE Championship. CM Punk waits a few minutes until we hear Dolph Ziggler’s theme song. Dolph Ziggler gets into the ring and says that he accepts the challenge, and that he will destroy Punk, because that is what he does. Dolph goes on to say something else but Punk interrupts him. He says that he doesn’t believe that Ziggler deserves a title shot; he couldn’t even defeat Chris Jericho last night at SummerSlam. Dolph starts talking and says that Jericho winning was a fluke, and CM Punk, Chris Jericho, and everyone in the building knows it. The lights go dim, but Chris Jericho tells them to turn the lights back on. Jericho tells Ziggler that it wasn’t a fluke. He continues to say that if anyone deserves a title shot it’s him. Big Show then comes out and tells everyone to shut up. He says that because of his Iron Clad contract, he can make any matches that he wants, and tonight we will see Big Show vs. CM Punk for the WWE Championship tonight. All four men start arguing and start pushing each other around until we hear, “Light It Up” AJ comes out and says that she will not let this show get out of control and she demands for them to get ahold of themselves. She says she has an idea, Chris Jericho vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Big Show to know who the #1 Contender is for the WWE Championship. She goes on to say that the match will happen next week. But, this week we will see CM Punk & Chris Jericho vs. Dolph Ziggler & Big Show. CM Punk & Jericho look at each other with disdain. While, Big Show & Ziggler look at each other like they know they are going to win this match. CM Punk & Christ Jericho trade words as we go to a Commercial Break.

After the commercial break we see John Cena backstage talking to one of the crew members. John Cena leaves only to see CM Punk standing behind him. CM Punk tries to use small talk, but Cena tells him to cut the crap because he knows why he’s here. CM Punk says fine. He wanted to talk about what happened at SummerSlam, when he pushed John Cena out of the way so he could get the win, and says that he hopes that there are no hard feelings between them. Cena says that there isn’t any. Cena goes on to say that he does feel like it was a cowardly way to win, but when you’re WWE Champion you have to do anything and everything to keep it. Cena also says that he isn't done with him yet, and that he still wants the WWE Championship. CM Punk seems to be angry as he probably thought Cena was being disrespectful. CM Punk says that he was happy they were able to bury the hatchet and says he needs to get ready for his match tonight.
