Vickie Guerrero provides evidence to prove John Cena-AJ affair

CM Punk Shows the scares he recieved at Hell in a Cell to Mick Foley
The Aftermath of Hell in a cell was expected this week on Raw and with CM Punk coming out to say that he had nothing to do with the result of the match and what referee had done at hell in a cell to help him retain his title only made the fans irk more.Mick Foley came out to talk to CM Punk once again to try putting some sense into him but to no avail.CM Punk also showed Mick Foley what it was like to be Mick Foley by showing his scares on the back to his body which he sustained at Hell in a Cell against Ryback.The best thing that came out of their argument was when they proposed to have  a Traditional Survivor Series match between Team CM Punk and Team Mick Foley.That of course was supposed to be announced towards the end of the show.Below are the matches that were held.

Ryback Defeated JTG via a pinfall:

Ryback giving a shellshock to JTG at WWE raw held on 29/10/2012
After the initial segment Ryback made his way to the ring to face off against JTG.As expected as he entered the ring Paul Heyman as well as CM Punk Chickened out and ran towards the crowd.Ryback was always in control of the match and his pure power proved it to be an easy victory for him.
Ryback won against JTG via pinfallHe is a man of few words but he is getting good reactions from the crowd who absolutely love him.He is one of the most hard work wrestlers around.Why do i say that?Well around say 5-10 years ago i saw someone with a great physique trying out on tough enough.His name was Ryan Reeves.He
Ryback Close upwas however not able to make his mark in the WWE because the roster at that time was very powerful.But as the saying goes "Better Late than never".Im sure he is here to stay for a long time and in the near future we would love to see Ryback face off against Brock Lesnar,HHH,John Cena and many more superstars.I also hope WWE have planned something huge for him in Wrestlemania after the hell in a cell disappointment.

Randy Orton Defeated Wade Barrett via Pinfall:

When this match started this was revenge time for Randy Orton as he had lost the last time he faced against Wade Barrett at Smackdown thanks to the interference by Alberto Del Rio.This match however didn't end up with having any interference.Wade Barrett tried to work on Randy Orton's

injured arm but Randy was too strong for him and all it took was an RKO from the blue which Randy Orton specializes in to win the match.After winning the match Via a pinfall while giving his traditional pose to the public Randy Orton was

favoring his shoulder.It looked like he was seriously injured but you never know it might just be to show the impact of the match.Vickie Guerrero during her segment with AJ continued to interrogate AJ to explain her actions against John Cena to which AJ confirmed there is nothing going on between the two.Vickie Guerrero 
Vickie Guerrero and AJ discuss AJ'S future in the WWE
continued asking her all sorts of questions such as whats her weakness to which AJ replied she can get emotionally attached to her job sometimes.Vickie in turn asked her if AJ meant she was crazy and asked her to think of a reason why Vickie should rehire her before she comes back.

Team Hell No Defeated Prime Time Players Via Submission
 
Kane says yes and Daniel Bryan says no
One of the funniest tag teams currently made their way to the ring with loud cheers from the crowd that said "Yes" and from Daniel Bryan which said "No"the way the crowd is interacting with Daniel Bryan reminds me of Kurt Angle during his days in the WWE where he used to make an
Team Hell No won against prime time players by daniel bryan performing a yes lock on Darren Young
entrance towards the ring and the crowd used to chat along with his entrance must "You Suck"that used to be epic.Getting back to the match the coordination problem between Kane and Daniel Bryan continues but Daniel was able to lock Darren Young into the yes lock to which he tapped out.It
AJ and John Cena on a business dinner
was then time for the big one.what is the evidence vickie has to prove her claims against John Cena and AJ.Vickie first showed a video on the titan tron where John Cena hugged AJ after she lost her job,then showed them having a dinner and to end it all she showed a video where John
AJ and John Cena at the elevator
 Cena asks AJ to join him in the elevator to which she does.This of course was rubbished by John Cena explaining to all of his actions but he did get a lot of chants from the crowd which said "You are Busted"Dolph Ziggler then made his

way to the ring and told a sentence with John Cena and AJ in the same line to which John Cena totally snapped and pushed Dolph Ziggler and warned him not to use his name with AJ in the same sentence again or he will have to bear the brunt and then stormed off towards the locker room.


Kofi Kingston Vs Antonio Cesario ended in a no contest
 
Kofi Kingston says Boom
Kofi Kingston came to the ring in his "Boom Boom Boom" style getting a loud cheer from the fans.The Miz was the guest commentator for this match which went back and forth for a while until Kofi threw Cesario towards The Miz pissing him off and making him come to the ring
Antonio Cesario attacks Kofi Kingston
and beating the hell out of him but things got even when R Truth who has been Kofi's partner for a while now came to the ring and helped Kofi clear the ring.I wonder how long the Kofi against The Miz feud will go on i think this has been going on now since about 2-3 months.Also the other
R Truth helps Kofi Kingston to fight against The Miz and Antonio Cesario
thing that will be great to see is if we ever see the Miz babyface again he has been in the heel for a long time now.I dont think i have ever seen him having a proper babyface role in the WWE until it was really long back.Anways getting back to AJ.Vickie Guerrero again gave a chance to AJ to confess her relationship with John Cena and she can then have her job back but AJ to this point walked away
Vickie Guerrero says AJ will have to face Beth Phoneix in her matchbut was called back by Vickie Guerrero and warned where Vickie said "The Next time you put your hands on me i will make sure you don't work for this company gain"along with this Vickie reinstated AJ in the WWE roster and setup a match between AJ and Beth Phoenix to which she crazily laughed and said "Thank You Vickie".AJ just keeps getting Weirder and Weirder.
Jinder Mahal Heath Slater and Drew McIntyre say they are 3MP
I wonder what Jinder Mahal,Heath Slater and Drew Mcintyre are up to.They had some sort of an interview where they described their love for music and them to be called as 3MP.

Jinder Mahal and Heath Slater defeated Santino Marella and Zack Ryder via pinfall:

WWE these days feels very empty without
Santino Marella and Zack Ryder play rock paper scissors to determine who will start the match at WWE raw held on 29/10/2012
Santino Marella doing his thing to crack people up.He always starts a match with the Rock,Papers,Scissors game to determine who starts the match against the opponent and his Cobra is one of the most funniest finishers in the WWE
Heath Slater Finisher on Santino Marella
history.Santino tried to lay down the force of his cobra onto heath slater but for his bad luck it backfired because of a reversal by heath slater and him getting a chance to use his finisher to seal the deal for his team.Heath Slater was a good part of the Nexus during the time when Nexus were
Heath Slater Pins Santino Marella to help his team win
dominating the ring against John Cena and causing Chaos against almost all the WWE superstars.That Feud was one of the best Feuds i have ever seen in the WWE.

Beth Phoenix Defeated AJ Via Pinfall:
 
AJ Pins Beth Phoenix
Vickie continues to misuse her powers as the Raw Managing supervisor.First she setup a match between AJ and Beth Phoenix and when AJ won the match fairly she came out and said that AJ had not performed well in the match and
Beth Phoenix performs a Glam Slam on AJ at WWE raw held on 29/10/2012
asked the referee to restart the match.The Referee didn't want to by his looks but had no option and the match was restarted.AJ didn't look like she was in a position to compete as her energy seemed to be fully drained out.Beth Phoneix took
Beth Phoenix pins AJ to win the match
advantage of that and performed her finisher "Glam Slam" and won the match comfortably.
Following this out came Sheamus who said that he would make sure the next time he and big show and in the ring it is not any sort of  
Big Show calls Sheamus a red headed ginger snap
a battle but a full on war after which big show made his entry into the ring and said there is no chance he could take the WWE title away from him and even called Sheamus a red-headed ginger snap.To which Sheamus responded
Sheamus performs a white noise on The Big Show
the best way he always does by asking Big Show "Have you seen a ginger snap" after which something that i saw was unbelievable where he carried the big show waited for quite a while and gave him the white noise.Big show looks quite intimidated i must say and i just love Sheamus's adrenaline at times he does something physically not possible.John Cena continued to show
John Cena tells AJ he is happy she is competing again and hugs her
his soft corner for AJ by hugging her and telling her he is happy she is at least competing and that he will sort things out very soon which was overlooked by Vickie Guerrero who had a thinking of her own.Beth Phoenix then came towards
Vickie Guerrero tells Beth Phoenix she is fired
Vickie and thanked her for restarting the match to which Vickie said that she wouldn't have had to do that if she performed properly and then told her "she was fired" which was not expected at all.

Team Rhodes Scholars defeated Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara:
 
Rey Mysterio interacts with a fan before his match
Rey Mysterio is one of the biggest fan favorites in the WWE.Whenever he makes an appearance before any match he makes sure he connects with his fans which is always great to see among the WWE superstars.There was a lot of high flying action but because of a small confusion Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara lost
Damien Sandow performs a finisher on Sin Cara
to rhodes scholars.Damien Sandow's finisher looks a bit funny to me but was quite effective as he was able to get the pin on Sin Cara and help his team raise its hand in victory.Sometimes these mid card matches turn out to
Damien Sandow Pins Sin Cara to help team Rhodes Scholars to win the match
be great wrestling matches because they concentrate on wrestling and nothing else and there is nothing to compare when we speak about Rey Mysterio and Sin Cara as Rey is already a legend and Sin Cara a legend in the making!
Paul Heyman and Mick Foley Face off
Then there was anticipation about what will be the teams for Team Mick Foley and Team CM Punk in the Traditional Survivor series match supposed to be held at the Survivor series.Paul Heyman tried playing his game by asking Mick Foley to
Mick Foley speaks to Kaitlyn about WWE '13
 stop marketing the WWE '13 video game and start thinking about the team to which he responded he has the team already lined up and there are many who would love to be a part of team mick foley.As we all know thanks to the WWE
wwe gives Susan G Coleman a cheque for 1 million for breast cancer research
universe WWE is doing quite well and they provided Susan G Koleman breast cancer research a staggering one million dollars.This was presented by John Cena and there was the whole roster who was standing below the titan tron to give their support.John Cena rightly said "We superstars don't agree with each other on a lot of things,But this is something we all agree upon".

Alberto Del Rio Defeated Justin Gabriel Via Submission:
 
Alberto Del Rio performs a cross arm breaker against Justin Gabriel
Alberto Del Rio let his frustrations known to Justin Gabriel as he was not yet out of his frame of mind of being defeated by Randy Orton in Hell in a cell.He was very animated and agressive throughout the match and won the match via a cross arm breaker.
CM Punk Announces his team for the survivor series
The time had now come to let the WWE universe know who will be on team Mick Foley and who will be on Team CM Punk in the survivor series.I was kind of hoping we would see someone making a return to one of the teams just to add
Mick Foley announces his team for the survivor series
the excitement but that was not to be but i was still a bit confused with what had been chosen between the teams both the teams in my honest opinion look to be evenly balanced teams.Mick Foley decided to be ringside while someone more competitive with CM Punk takes his place.Below are the participants of team Mick Foley and Team CM Punk.

Team CM Punk:

  • Alberto Del Rio
  • Team Rhodes Scholars(Damien Sandow and Cody Rhodes)
  • The Miz
  • CM Punk

Team Mick Foley:

  • Team Hell No(Daniel Bryan and Kane)
  • Kofi Kingston
  • Randy Orton
  • Ryback
