WWE Raw Results 8/10/12 - CM Punk vs Vince McMahon

Last night's WWE Raw results from Sacramento, California. Michael Cole, Jim Ross and John Bradshaw Layfield are on commentary.John Cena opens the show and cuts a promo on WWE Champion CM Punk and dares him to accept his challenge for a match at Hell in a Cell. 1) Ryback defeats Primo and Epico (with Rosa Mendes) with the Shellshocked in a handicap match. 2) Brodus Clay vs R-Truth never happens as R-Truth suggests that because Little Jimmy is going through puberty they should dance instead. So everyone dances, including the Funkettes, before Vince McMahon appears on the big screen and tells them to come up the ramp as he needs to give the State of WWE Address. Vince comes to a big pop from the crowd and says the most important thing in the WWE is action and the fans seeing the best of the best. He is then interrupted by WWE Champion CM Punk and Paul Heyman. Punk complains he ain't getting any respect and asks where CM Punk Appreciation night is. He says if he doesn't get the respect he believes he deserves soon then he will hop the rail and quit the company... this time for good. CM Punk slaps Vince McMahon and that leads the WWE Chairman to book an epic main event for tonight... Vince McMahon vs CM Punk. 2) WWE Tag Team Title Tournament Match: Rey Mysterio & Sin Cara defeat The Prime Time Players when Ray splashes off the top for the victory. 3) WWE World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus defeats Wade Barrett when Tensai interferes and attacks Sheamus to cause the DQ.

Sheamus then drops Tensai with the Brogue Kick and sends Barrett out of the ring and Show comes in, blocks a Brogue Kick, and manages to dump Sheamus off the top rope before Show scarpers to the back. AJ Lee is backstage with Punk. Punk says he is going to break Vince tonight. AJ says Punk is too scared to fight Cena and she wonders if he is too scared to fight Vince too. Punk says he was just giving AJ A chance to save her job but now anything that happens will be her fault. 4) WWE United States Champion Antonio Cesaro defeated Tyson Kidd in a non-title match when Cesaro hit the Neutralizer for the victory. 5) Team Hell No (Daniel Bryan & Kane) defeated Dolph Ziggler & Alberto Del Rio when Kane tapped himself in and chokeslammed Ziggler.
