This week’s WWE Raw featured Jey Uso facing Gunther for the World Heavyweight Title, plus John Cena, Ron Killings, and more.

It’s WWE Monday Night Raw from the PHX Arena in Phoenix, Arizona. The commentary team was Michael Cole and Wade Barrett filing in for Pat McAfee. The ring announcer was Alicia Taylor.

A video package aired showing highlights from WWE-AAA Worlds Collide and Money in the Bank. Both shows were in Los Angeles.

The Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena made his entrance wearing some Phoenix Suns-like purple on his “Last Time is Now” shirt. There was a lot of booing and the fans chanted “Let’s Go Cena/Cena sucks” when the music stopped. Cena pointed at ring announcer Alicia Taylor, who did a special introduction about how Cena was gracing Phoenix his presence one last time and he is the Last Real Champion.

John Cena said you teach him something every single time you open your mouths. Cena said that you taught him that truth is a lie because you opened your mouth, wasting your energy, saving a sideshow whose greatest achievement is pretending to be Cena. The fans chanted “We Want Truth” at that point. Cena asked the fans if they think that accomplished anything. Cena called them “spineless keyboard warriors” and “ignorant armchair activists” who have no real power to change anything. Cena said that Truth is a gimmick that you will spit out and a year from now, you will not care anything about. Cena said that you will never use him to benefit one of your pity parties ever again. Cena shouted that it’s his farewell tour and he has limited time. Cena said it was 36 dates, then it was down to 27 on the Raw after WrestleMania, so he counted down dates and the number on screen said 19 dates left. Cena said we are halfway done, so don’t wait your voice and send him the class clown. Cena wanted them to use their voice and send him competition. Cena said that everyone you have cheered for from R-Truth to Cody Rhodes to Randy Orton, he has shut their mouth and beaten their best.

CM Punk made his entrance to confront John Cena. Punk said he wants Cena to be comfortable because he has a lot to things to get off his chest. Punk said it’s ironic that Cena is strapped up saying he’s going to ruin wrestling and ruin the establishment that made him. Punk said he’s the punk who is now defending the establishment. Punk said that he’s not standing for TKO, he’s not here to defend the billionaires, and Punk said he’s there to defend the people. Punk said that the people picked him in 2011 to be the Voice of the Voiceless. Punk said that Cody is the best they got and Cena beat him because he took cheap shots. Punk said he’s not there to kiss The Final Boss’ ass like Cena and Punk said the people are his boss. Punk said it’s his job to give the fans what they want. Punk said that if you want the truth then they’re going to get Ron Killings. Punk said they are all spokes on the wheel and he said Cena is a spoke on the wheel too. Punk said that it starts with Punk taking that title off his shoulder. Punk said that at Elimination Chamber, Rollins stomped Punk and Cena put Punk in an STF. Punk said that the last thing he heard is Cena saying, “I’m sorry.” Punk said that Cena knew then and he knows now that what he’s doing is not right. Punk told Cena that he knows what he is doing is wrong. The fans chanted “You sold out” at Cena. Punk said that when he takes the title off Cena, Punk wants Cena to apologize to these people for the man that he has become. Punk said that title corrupted Cena and Punk knows because it did it to him in 2012. Punk said that holding that title wasn’t his gold when he came back because he hates the man that he became when he held that title. Punk said he knows that he has to become a monster to stop the monster. Punk said to guys like Cena and Seth Rollins, that means power and control, but to Punk it’s something that belongs to the people. Punk said by his count after tonight, Cena has 18 dates left. Punk said he’ll leave it up to Cena to pick whatever date he wants to defend that title against CM Punk. Punk mentioned the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees, and then suggested they have a match tonight.

Cena hyped it up saying the best in the world against the greatest of all time for the Undisputed WWE Championship. Cena said, “Let’s do it.” The fans cheered that. Cena said not tonight, which drew boos of course. Cena told Punk he’s going to follow Cena to Saudi Arabia at Night of Champions. Cena asked Punk what does he think. Punk said, “You’re on” to Cena.

Seth Rollins appeared with Paul Heyman, Bronson Reed and Bron Breakker. Rollins had the Money in the Bank briefcase and held it up to taunt Cena and Punk in the ring.

Becky Lynch made her entrance as the new Women’s Intercontinental Championship. The fans booed her. Lynch said there’s no “you deserve it” for her and it’s rare for her to do something for the first time. Lynch bragged about all of her career accomplishments. Lynch said that this title should be about opportunities and the greatest opportunity that this title got is that Lynch won it. Lynch said it’s the greatest prize in wrestling because Lynch is the champion. Lynch said she should have been celebrating with her hot husband and beautiful child, but Lyra Valkyria ruined everything.

Ron said that they heard, they listen, they felt and they understood. Ron said that he is back because of the fans. There were “Truth” chants. Ron said that you brought R-Truth back. Truth said he’s back, but he’s back for himself too. Ron said that not only did you bring Truth back, but you got him. Ron said that we all love R-Truth, he loves R-Truth too, but he can be too funny and too nice. Ron said he’s not like that. Ron said that he feels different, he feels alive, and for any of you who think he’s some sideshow act or a gimmick, he had scissors, and he cut his dreadlocks. Truth cut his dreadlocks, leaving him with a very short haircut. The fans chanted “holy s**t” for that. Ron picked up his hair, saying that the truth had set him free. Ron said he is Ron Killings, he is the Truth, the whole Truth and nothing but the Truth. Ron said put some respect on his name. The fans cheered as Ron left through the crowd.
