[edit] Event
Before Raw SuperShow, Charlie Wilson begged Interim GM Vickie Guerrero for a United States Championship Match. Only after Wilson got down on his knees, did Vickie finally give in and agree to a match. Later, the Interim GM kicked off Raw by announcing the first match of the night would be a Three-Way Elimination Match.
Lynn Lehr kicked off Raw SuperShow by reminding the IWE Universe that the IWE Board of Directors appointed her Interim GM. Her first order of business was announcing a Three-Way Elimination Match.
With AJ watching from a backstage monitor, IWE Champion Justin Eldridge, Kody Brown and Kane went to war. With Brown reeling, Eldridge signaled for the Go to Sleep, but a big boot from Kane thwarted Eldridge’s plan. As the battle waged on, The Big Red Monster went on the offensive. But interrupting his moment was AJ, who came skipping to ringside. Capitalizing on the distraction, The Second City Saint blasted Kane with the GTS to eliminate him. But Brown quickly swooped in with a kick to Eldridge's head to seize the victory.
After the match, Lynn announced a No. 1 Contender’s Contract-on-a-Pole Match for later in the night between Alberto Del Rio and Nick Kessler, with the winner facing World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus for his title this Friday on SmackDown.
After Big Show mercilessly pummeled Brodus Clay’s leg into the steel ring post, he was left reeling. But Clay fought back with a headbutt. However, when Clay tried to slam Show to the canvas, things didn’t go as planned and he wound up directly under the crushing weight of The World’s Largest Athlete for the pinfall.
Adding insult to injury, Show brutally punched Clay in the head as he was being helped away from the ring by IWE officials.
After begging Lynn Lehr to give him a United States Championship Match, Charlie Wilson took on U.S. Champion Justin Black, who was defending his title for the first time on Raw since April 16. With a hard-hitting DDT followed up with The Cobra, the champion dispatched of Wilson, as well as his hopes of capturing the coveted title.
Following up on a tweet from earlier in the day that he would make an historical announcement, Dustin Simpson came to the ring to address the IWE Universe in person. After Simpson recalled the fate of former GM John Laurinaitis using a slew of “Star of Wars” references, Khris Jericho returned to Raw and interrupted the Simpnation leader. As the two mixed words, Simpson revealed his big news. “In order to stop Big Show, for the first time ever, I’m putting myself in the Money in the Bank Ladder Match,” he said.
But Jericho was not impressed with Simpson’s declaration, and went on to tout his history in Money in the Bank Ladder Matches and the importance of such a potentially career-altering encounter. After Jericho revealed he, too, would compete at Money in the Bank, Lynn Lehr emerged to put a twist on things. She revealed that the IWE Board of Directors declared the IWE Championship Contract Money in the Bank Ladder Match would include only former IWE Champions, which includes: Kane, Big Show, Jericho and Simpson.
Following the Money in the Bank news, the Interim GM announced Cena would face Jericho later on Raw for the first time in two years.
Honoring the 1,000th episode of Raw on July 23, Sycho Sid returned to compete. But spoiling his introduction by Lilian Garcia was Devin Keller, who came to the ring first to declare: “I rule the world.” However, Keller paid the price for his rudeness when he came face to face with the 317-pound former 2-time IWE Champion. Although he last competed on Raw on June 9, 1997, Sid was in fine form and stopped the music of the One-Man Band with ease.
As Nick Kessler and Alberto Del Rio fought tooth-and-nail for possession of a championship contract in a No. 1 Contender’s Contract-on-a-Pole Match, World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus emerged and halted their match with major news. He revealed that Interim GM Lynn Lehr decided that The Celtic Warrior would defend his title against both competitors in a Triple Threat Match this Friday on SmackDown.
With kicks flying, a ring full of Divas mixed it up with each other and Interim GM Lynn Lehr. As the battle waged on, AJ eliminated Divas Champion Victoria. But when Lynn thought she eliminated AJ, the spitfire Diva brought the fight to the GM. In the end, AJ shoved Lehr from the ring to capture the summertime win.
Raw kicked off with AJ explaining her feelings for Kane, Kody Brown and Justin Eldridge, saying it would be best if they all went their separate ways. Later, after coming to ringside during the night’s 3-Way Elimination Match, she got an earful from Kane, who said it would be best if they stayed away from each other. Later, she apologized to Eldridge for what happened in his match and addressed their future.
In their first match in two years, Khris Jericho appeared to have Dustin Simpson right where he wanted when he had him locked in the Walls of Jericho. But before a winner could be declared, Big Show charged in and dropped his massive frame down on the Simpnation leader, ending the bout in a disqualification. Next, with the match over and Jericho out of the ring, The World’s Largest Athlete brutalized Simpson with a chokeslam, followed up with a Colossal Clutch. Only after Simpson turned blue in the face, did Show finally release him from his grasp and drop him in a lifeless heap in the ring.
