All six Raw Elimination Chamber wrestlers are in the ring at podiums. Jerry Lawler introduces a DEBATE! He is quickly interrupted by John Laurinaitis, flanked by David Otunga. He and Punk cut promos. Then Vickie Guerrero comes out. It’s a promo clustermess! R Truth cuts a long promo encouraging WHATs. Spider Stew? This is crazy.

Video of Kane beating up folks at the Royal Rumble

Backstage, John Cena talks to Zack Ryder, sporting a neckbrace. Cena warns Ryder that Kane is on the loose! He wants Zack to stay safe and sound in the Cena dressing room.

The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels is here! He has a cowboy hat. He spots someone – oh it’s HHH! They hug manly style.

Also backstage, David Otunga and John Laurinaitis are chatting. Apparently Laurinaitis was not yet the permanent GM of Raw, but Otunga had a plan for that, and it would also include being GM of Smackdown. Seems silly to talk about that plan on camera.

Daniel Bryan comes out to his music.

The Big Show vs. Randy Orton
Daniel Bryan is lurking around the ring, not announcing. Match goes a couple minutes then we head to a

Commercial Break

Back from the break with Big Show largely in control. He goes to the floor and chats with Daniel Bryan, then goes back to the ring where Randy catches him with the draping DDT, then later the RKO. When he went for a pin, Daniel Bryan ran in and hit Randy with the title belt for the DQ.
Winner by DQ: Randy Orton

Bryan takes out Show too and stands over them both as his music plays.

Shawn Michaels is HERE!

Commercial Break

It’s the 10PM hour and Sexy Boy plays and out comes Shawn Michaels to a huge reaction. He cuts a promo about Wrestlemania season and plugs his Twitter. Shawn doesn’t think it’s Wrestlemania without MR WRESTLEMANIA. Then HHH’s music plays and he comes out. They are DX!!!! They are buddy buddy for a few minutes but then Shawn brings up the Undertaker and things don’t go as well. Shawn thinks Hunter is being a coward. Hunter believes it’s bad for business to end the streak. Weird. He buries the roster and says that he and Shawn and Taker are the end of an era – smash mouth wrestlers – and he won’t ruin the legacy. Shawn says look me in the eyes and say no. Hunter takes off his jacket and tells Shawn “no” and walks out to boos. But wait – BONG – and the lights go out. A video plays of the Undertaker furiously cutting his own hair!@

Punk goes to the top rope, but Miz stops him. Miz goes for the Skull Crushing Finale, but Punk gets out and locks in the Anaconda Vice for the win.

The ambulance backs back into the arena.

Cena comes out and says that he had an awkward moment by the ambulance. He said he apologized to Ryder. He says that this was Kane’s plan all along. Crowd starts into a “We All Hate You” chant. He says that people mistake his kindness for weakness, and that he will be sending Kane out of the arena in a Ambulance. Cena says that he has a message for Dwayne for WrestleMania. Zack Ryder then comes out, and crutches his way to the ring. Cena tries to talk to him, but Ryder slaps Cena. Cena then takes off his shirt & dog tags. Ryder goes to slap him again, but Cena blocks it, loads up to punch, but holds himself back. Ryder falls to mat, and wants Cena to stay away, then leaves the ring. Kane appears on the Tron. He says that Cena is in denial, and says that he will beat Cena at the PPV. Kane then asks for a round of applause for Cena, and while the crowd booed, Kane ran out to the ramp, and rolled Ryder off the side of the stage. Cena ran over, and Eve came out…and got some major whore heat. Ryder does another stretcher job that brings up the end credits
