WWE Raw

-Commentators:  Jerry Lawler & Michael Cole.
-The show started with a verbal confrontation between Bret Hart(returning to Montreal) and WWE Champion C.M. Punk.
-Tag Team Champions "R-Truth" Ron Killings & Kofi Kingston d. Intercontinental Champion Mike Mizanin & U.S. Champion Antonio Cesaro(w/ Aksana Raudoniene)(non-title) when Kofi pinned Cesaro after the Trouble In Paradise.
-Women's Champion Layla El, Kaitlyn Bonin, & Eve Torres d. Beth Phoenix, Natalya Neidhart, & Alicia Fox; Layla had control against Alicia, but Eve tagged herself into the match and got the win with the snap neckbreaker.
-Randy Orton d. WWE Champion C.M. Punk by DQ(non-title) when Dolph Ziggler interfered as Orton was setting up for the RKO.  The numbers caught up to Orton in the post-match fight until Jerry Lawler left the broadcast table to even the odds.  The fans voted on Punk's opponent(Lawler and Brodus Clay were the other two choices).  During a commercial break, General Manager A.J. Lee ordered an impromptu tag match.
-Randy Orton & Jerry Lawler d. WWE Champion C.M. Punk & Dolph Ziggler(w/ Vickie Guerrero).  Punk never tagged into the match and even left his corner to confer with Paul Heyman during the match.  This led to Orton getting the win over Ziggler after the RKO.
-Ryback d. Heath Slater with the Shellshock.
-Kane & Daniel Bryan d. The Prime Time Players.  Kane chokeslammed Darren Young and Bryan tagged himself into the match, so Kane chokeslammed Bryan...onto Young and the referee counted the pin since Bryan was on top of Young.
-Alberto Del Rio(w/ Ricardo Rodriguez) d. Tyson Kidd via cross-armbreaker takedown.
-Jerry Lawler had been absent from the broadcast booth for a few matches...Cole informed the fans that Lawler had collapsed and was helped to the backstage area for medical attention.  Hope he'll be okay...
-World Champion Sheamus O'Shaunessy d. David Otunga(non-title) with the Texas Cloverleaf.  He hit the Brogue Kick after the match, leading to a dispute between General Managers A.J. Lee and Booker T.  Booker ruled that, until further notice, any further use of the Brogue Kick would result in Sheamus being stripped of the title.
-Cody Rhodes d. Rey Misterio Jr. after Intercontinental Champion Mike Mizanin distrated Rey, leading to Cody hitting the Crossrhodes.  Miz jumped in the ring and set up Rey for the Skull-Crushing Finale, but Rhodes hit Miz with the Crossrhodes and held up the belt before leaving the ring.
-The show capped off with Bret Hart interviewing John Cena...of course Punk had to stick his nose into the segment.  After an intense verbal exchange, Punk took a swing at Bret only for Bret to beat him to the punch.
-Cole gave a final update that Lawler's condition had stabilized and he was breathing on his own...sounds like relatively good news.
