Just one night after surviving five other RAW Superstars in the demonic Elimination Chamber to become the #1 Contender for The Miz’s WWE Title at WrestleMania, the show kicks off with the WrestleMania bound John Cena as Cena states that last night should have been a “wonderful night” following his victory and he should have been proclaiming that he is “going to WrestleMania”! Cena then says that, ever since last week’s RAW, he has not heard about The Miz, the Elimination Chamber, or WrestleMania, all he has heard about are the comments made by the WrestleMania Host The Rock on last week’s RAW when Rock mocked Cena’s catch phrase, “You Can’t See Me” and called Cena a “big, fat bowl of Fruity Pebbles”, as well as vowing to “see” Cena at WrestleMania! Cena then states that he still has a “degree in Thuganomics” before saying that, if he does not “end it” on RAW, then he will never hear the end of it! Cena would then go back in time by delivering a special rap for The Rock as Cena would say that Cena says that he was “not talking trash”, but he was telling the “truth” because The Rock left them “high and dry” to go play a “fairy with a tooth”! Cena continues that The Rock thinks that he is “lame”, but Rock “wore lipstick in Get Shorty and rocked a skirt for The Game Plan” before saying that he is not your “average jabroni” before saying that he’s a “big, purple pinwheel” so Rock should just “blow” him! Cena then states that Rock will have to go tell his family that he just got “schooled by Barney’s turd” before telling Rock to not “go racing to Witch Mountain” because his “Mountain is Brokeback” before saying that The Rock’s next movie takes place in a “bowling alley” where he “polishes” his “balls”! Cena would then say that, for seven years, they could not “see him” before stating that Rock should stick with The Rock because “Dwayne” does not a “John, son”! Cena would then say that he will “make sure” that The Rock will “kiss” his “candy ass” before saying that The Rock says that he “loves” the fans, but he is there “every week” to show it before stating that The Rock can “run” his mouth all he wants because it “does not matter” what The Rock is “saying”! How will The Rock respond to John Cena’s intense and personal insults towards the Host of WrestleMania?

Just one night after a stellar performance in the Elimination Chamber where he dove off of the ceiling of the Chamber onto King Sheamus, as well as being sent knee-first through one of the pods, a worse-for-wear John Morrison would limp to the ring to go one-on-one with the man who attempted to take him out of the Elimination Chamber Match two weeks ago and the man who eliminated him from the Elimination Chamber Match one night earlier in an equally as banged up leader of The New Nexus, CM Punk, just one night after CM Punk was ravaged, scraped, and slammed on the steel floor as the last elimination of the match! In the end, it was CM Punk overcoming his own pain and injuries and would take advantage of the injured knee of John Morrison en route to hoisting Morrison up and delivering the GTS en route to picking up the win! After the match, CM Punk would call out Randy Orton and state that he has “decided” to give The New Nexus the “night off”! Punk then states that, on September 7, 2008, Randy Orton “decided” to punt him in the skull and rendering him unable to defend the World Heavyweight Title and that brings them to the present day before saying that the “bright lights of WrestleMania” are not in the “future” as Orton does not “deserve” to compete at WrestleMania and tells Orton to “walk away” before stating that, if Randy Orton confronts him on next week’s RAW, then he will “hurt” Orton! This prompts Orton to rush into the ring and attack CM Punk, but Punk would narrowly escape getting hit with the RKO of Orton before The New Nexus would come out to support their leader! What will happen when Randy Orton and CM Punk finally clash, one-on-one?

One night after defeating Kofi Kingston in a one-on-one match and attempting to injure World Heavyweight Champion Edge moments after Edge retained inside the demonic Elimination Chamber only for a returning Christian to attack and lay him out, the winner of the 2011 Royal Rumble Match, Alberto Del Rio, was set for action on RAW, but Kofi Kingston would attack Del Rio from behind! Alberto Del Rio would manage to fight back against Kofi and would target the injured arm of Kofi as Del Rio would assault the arm before sending Kofi arm-first into the ringside barricade before locking in the cross armbreaker on the Intercontinental Champion! Del Rio would then start to leave, but would spot Kofi Kingston being helped to his feet and would send Kofi arm-first into the steel ring post, leaving Kofi writhing in pain on the arena floor! What is the status of Kofi Kingston following this attack?

One night after utilizing both Alex Riley and Michael Cole to ultimately retain the WWE Title against Jerry “The King” Lawler at WWE Elimination Chamber, WWE Champion The Miz, with his “apprentice” Alex Riley in tow, would make an appearance on RAW! The Miz states that, last week, the fans “embarrassed” themselves by cheering for The Rock’s return last week before saying that he looked forward to one of Rock’s “classic” lines regarding him for Rock saying that he “sucks”! Miz would then state that he has heard “Kindergarteners” insult him better before saying that that he is a “little hurt” before saying he will check his “tears” in his “championship gold”! Miz continues that, while The Rock will be the Host of WrestleMania, he will be main eventing WrestleMania where he will “beat” John Cena! Miz then states that he could “care less” what the fans think before saying that it “does not matter” what the fans think because he is the “most must-see WWE Champion in history” before asking if they “can see that” before declaring that he is “awesome”! The anonymous General Manager of RAW chimes in with an email that announces that the GM plans to “deal with” The Rock later before announcing that the main event will see the WWE Tag Team Titles defended as new tag champions Heath Slater & Justin Gabriel will defend the gold against the team of WWE Champion The Miz and Miz’s WrestleMania opponent, John Cena! It has happened in the past, but will the highly dysfunctional team of The Miz and John Cena actually win the WWE Tag Team Titles together just six weeks before they square off for the WWE Title at WrestleMania?

Following their brawl in the backstage area last week, the Divas would be in action on RAW as Divas Champion Eve Torres and Gail Kim would take on The Bella Twins in tag team action! In the end, it was The Bella Twins utilizing their “Twin Magic” to switch Bellas, allowing the fresh Bella to roll Eve Torres up for the win!

After weeks of cryptic videos and a countdown clock going since the beginning of RAW, the countdown clock would reach zero as the dark figure would emerge from the abandoned house and would show his face, revealing that it is none other than the one and only “Phenom” of the WWE, “The Deadman” The Undertaker! For the first time since being buried alive by Kane in October, The Undertaker would make his long and iconic walk to the ring and would enter the ring, standing beneath a lit up version of his signature symbol! As The Undertaker symbolically removed his hat as he has done so many times over the years, the return of The Undertaker would be interrupted by an even more shocking return as the one and only thirteen time World Champion, “The Game” Triple H would emerge as “The Cerebral Assassin” would remove his coat before making a determined march to the ring and, as a seething Undertaker bore his glare into Triple H, Triple H would glare back at “The Deadman” in the exact same fashion before the two returning icons would come face-to-face! Triple H’s glare would then turn to the WrestleMania sign, followed by The Undertaker’s glare following, but Undertaker would scoff at Triple H’s challenge before putting his hat back on and starting to leave the ring! Undertaker would then turn back and deliver his cut throat sign to Triple H and Triple H would respond by delivering the DX crotch chop to Undertaker, which would lead to the two legends going face-to-face once again with neither man having said a word! After the return of The Undertaker was followed by the surprising return of Triple H, Triple H has apparently challenged The Undertaker to a showdown at “The Grandest Stage of Them All” WrestleMania and Undertaker has seemingly accepted! What will happen when these two iconic legends clash in six weeks at WrestleMania?

One week after assaulting Mark Henry and one night after taking part in the grueling Elimination Chamber Match, the 2010 King of the Ring King Sheamus would go one-on-one with a revenge-driven “World’s Strongest Man” Mark Henry! In the end, it was King Sheamus making the last minute decision to remove the turnbuckle pad, exposing the steel, but Mark Henry would deliver a big splash to Sheamus in the corner, ramming Sheamus’ back into the steel, which would allow Henry to hit the World’s Strongest Slam on Sheamus en route to picking up the win!

It was revealed on RAW that none other than former RAW Guest Star and reigning “Miss USA” Rima Fakih will be one of the contestants on WWE Tough Enough in April! Who else will be taking part in the show when Tough Enough returns the night after WrestleMania?

Almost a month after the blockbuster announcement was made that the one and only “Showstopper” Shawn Michaels will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, RAW would see the announcement of the second inductee as the first Royal Rumble Match winner in history will join Shawn Michaels in the Class of 2011 as “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan will be inducted into the Hall of Fame by “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase on April 2 in Atlanta! Who else will join the Hall of Fame ranks this year?

One night after having his dreams of headlining WrestleMania as the WWE Champion crushed by The Miz, with help from Alex Riley and Michael Cole, Hall of Famer Jerry “The King” Lawler would take part in a special interview on RAW as the interview would be conducted by none other than his broadcast colleague, Michael Cole! Before bringing out Jerry Lawler, Michael Cole reveals that the General Manager has decreed that, if there is any physicality between the two of them, then they will both be fired! Cole then states that he is going to be the “bigger man” and “let bygones be bygones” because he is a “journalist” and he is going to conduct a “professional interview”! Cole then calls himself the “voice of the WWE” and states that, besides Mr. McMahon in his early days, he is “better” than Hall of Fame announcers Gordon Solie, Gorilla Monsoon, Jim Ross, and Jerry “The King” Lawler! Cole then states that he is a “former war correspondent” and all he asks is for the “attention” of the fans!

After vowing to conduct a “professional interview” with his Hall of Fame colleague Jerry “The King” Lawler with physicality banned between the two of them, the self-proclaimed “voice of the WWE” Michael Cole would bring Jerry Lawler out for a special interview! Cole’s first question would be to ask how Jerry Lawler felt prior to his WWE Title match last night, but the question would go unanswered as “The King” bore a hole through Michael Cole with a hateful stare, remembering how Michael Cole cost him his shot at being the WWE Champion just one night earlier! Cole would move on to his second question by asking Jerry Lawler how Lawler felt when he realized that his dreams were going to be crushed when he lost to the “most must-see WWE Champion in history”, The Miz, and asked if Lawler thought that it was time to admit that Cole was “right” and if it is time to “retire” for good! This question would also go unanswered, which would lead to Cole’s third question as Cole would ask Lawler how it felt to be pinned by The Miz at WWE Elimination Chamber and how it felt to be “staring into the heavens” to see his “deceased mother” with the “best seat in the house” before asking Lawler how it felt when he realized that he had let his mother “down”!

Jerry Lawler then puts his hands on Michael Cole and lifts him up by his jacket and tells Cole that, if Cole mentions his mother again, it will be the “last thing” that Cole will ever say! Jerry Lawler continues by saying that, for weeks, he has listened to Cole call him an “old man” while singing the praises of his “thumb-sucking friends” and tells Cole to remember that he has “forgotten more about this game” than Cole or any of the fans will “ever know”! Lawler then says that he’s got a “way in” to WrestleMania and it does not matter to him if he gets “fired” for it because he is issuing a WrestleMania Challenge to Michael Cole! Jerry Lawler then asks Cole for his response and a shaken up Cole calls Lawler a “senile, old man” and that Lawler will “never” get him in the ring before Cole would quickly exit the ring and put his headset back on at ringside! Lawler then follows Cole out and tells Cole to “be a man” and show everyone what he’s got before asking Cole if he is a “man” or just a “gutless, yellow coward”! Cole would respond by taking his jacket off and it would look like Cole was ready to fight Lawler, but Cole would throw water in the face of the Hall of Famer, allowing Cole to make a quick exit through the crowd and out of the arena! What will happen the next time Jerry “The King” Lawler and Michael Cole are in the same arena?

Then it was time for the main event as WrestleMania opponents would be forced to team up as WWE Champion The Miz would team with the #1 Contender for his WWE Title at WrestleMania, John Cena, to challenge the new WWE Tag Team Champions, Heath Slater & Justin Gabriel, with fellow Corre members Wade Barrett & Ezekiel Jackson in their corner, for the WWE Tag Team Titles! At the end of a dominant match, it was The Miz hitting the Skull Crushing Finale on Justin Gabriel en route to pinning Gabriel to win the WWE Tag Team Titles for the unlikely team of The Miz & John Cena!

The celebration of the new WWE Tag Team Champions would be short-lived, however, as Corre member Wade Barrett would speak on behalf of Heath Slater & Justin Gabriel by saying that they are invoking their rematch clause for the titles right now and, with the match made official by the anonymous General Manager, new WWE Tag Team Champions John Cena & WWE Champion The Miz, with Miz’s “apprentice” Alex Riley in the corner, would defend their newly acquired titles against the former champions Heath Slater & Justin Gabriel, with Corre members Wade Barrett & Ezekiel Jackson in their corner! In the end, it was Wade Barrett distracting the referee while John Cena hoisted Heath Slater up for the Attitude Adjustment, but The Miz would come in from behind with the Skull Crushing Finale on Cena, allowing Slater to pin Cena for Heath Slater & Justin Gabriel to regain the WWE Tag Team Titles! How will John Cena respond to The Miz costing them the WWE Tag Team Titles?
