LIVE RAW COVERAGE

Tonight's WWE RAW opens up with a live shot in the arena. "2-21-11" is on the screen and a timer is counting down to one hour from now. We see a scene from the vignettes playing in the background as we go to the normal RAW opening video. 


- Michael Cole welcomes us to the Save Mart Center from Fresno, California. We're just 41 days away from WrestleMania 27 as John Cena's music hits and out he comes to a big ovation. 


- Cena rushes the ring and points up at the WrestleMania 27 sign. Cena says what a day and gets some boo's mixed in from the crowd. We get some "Rocky" chants from the crowd. Cena talks about winning the Elimination Chamber and going on to face The Miz for the WWE Title at WrestleMania. Cena says all he's been hearing about since last week is some alleged comments made by The Rock. The crowd pops. 


Cena says he doesn't know what to say. He says he was going to let The Rock slide because he's well, The Rock. Cena replays the footage from last week of Rock dissing him. Cena says after seeing it again, Rock was pretty much making fun of him. Cena says he should probably say something about that. Cena says there's only one way he knows to call people out and he hasn't done it in a long time. Cena says he still has a degree in thuganomics and the crowd boo's. Cena says this is a one-time thing for the fans tonight. Cena slips into his rapper state of mind. Cena starts rapping about The Rock, saying he left WWE high and dry to play a fairy with a tooth. 


Cena continues to rap and knocks Rock for wearing makeup and a dress in his movies. Cena says he's like a big purple pinwheel and tells Rock to "blow me." Cena goes on, saying Rock spends his next movie in a bowling alley, polishing Cena's balls. Cena tells Rock to know his WrestleMania role as guest host. Cena says Rock says he loves the people but Cena is there every week to show it. Cena tells Rock he can run his mouth all he wants but it doesn't matter what he's saying. Cena drops the mic and walks off to the back. 


- We go ringside with Michael Cole and Josh Matthews. Cole says he will put his differences aside with Jerry Lawler later tonight for an interview. Matthews hypes CM Punk vs. John Morrison for tonight. We go to the 2-21-11 countdown timer with 46 more minutes on it as we go to commercial. 


John Morrison vs. CM Punk 


We go to the ring and out comes John Morrison. Morrison limps out and is suffering from last night's Chamber match. Out next comes CM Punk and he's also hurt from the Chamber. The bell rings and they go at it with Morrison taking control early. Punk pulls Morrison down and goes to work on his injured knee. Punk comes back in the ring and keeps focusing on Morrison's leg. 


Punk with another leg submission and a 2 count. Punk goes right back to work with another leg hold. Morrison gets to the ropes and breaks it. Morrison fights back now with right hands and knocks Punk down. Morrison mounts Punk with right hands but his knee is hurting. Morrison goes for a knee to the face but Punk kicks it. Punk hits the GTS for the pin and the win. 


Winner: CM Punk 


- After the match, Punk asks for a microphone. Punk calls Randall Keith Orton out by his name. Punk says he's given Nexus the night off. Punk says people came to RAW tonight to see him. Punk recalls September 7th, 2008 when Orton punt kicked him, causing him to have to drop the World Title. Punk points up at the WrestleMania sign and says the bright lights are not in Orton's future. Punk tells Orton to just walk away. Punk says Orton doesn't deserve to be at WrestleMania. Punk says Orton won't be at WrestleMania because either he will be too crippled to compete or because he cares about his own safety. Punk says he will hurt Orton if he shows up next week to RAW. Punk says he will turn Orton upside down and pulls his heart out on the mat. Orton rushes the ring from in the crowd, attacking Punk. Orton goes for an RKO but Punk slides out of it and escapes the ring. Nexus runs down to get Punk's back as Orton paces around the ring. The crowd chants for Orton as he squares off from the ring with Nexus on the floor. 


- Back from commercial and Alberto Del Rio comes in driving a Lamborghini as Ricardo Rodriguez begins his introduction. Kofi Kingston runs down the ramp as Del Rio is walking to the ring and attacks him. Rodriguez runs over and takes out Kofi. Del Rio takes over now and slams Kofi into the steel steps. Kofi's arm is bandaged after Del Rio wouldn't release his finisher at Elimination Chamber. Del Rio uses the ring post and fan barrier on Kofi. Del Rip rips the brace off Kofi's arm and applies his armbar finisher. Del Rio finally releases it and starts walking away with Rodriguez. Officials help Kofi up to hsi feet and his arm is hurt. Del Rio runs back over and shoves Kofi arm-first into the ring post again. 


- WWE Champion The Miz and Alex Riley are shown walking to the ring as we go to another 2-21-11 countdown and commercial break.
