– Chimmel introduced The Great Khali. Alberto Del Rio told Chimmel that he doesn’t want him to introduce himself because he sucks.

He was a local interviewer/Ring announcer that goes to all the shows in Philly and introduced him“ From San Luis Potosi Mexico, he is a former 2 time WWE Champion, Former Money in the Bank winner, 2011 Royal Rumble winner and your current reigning and defending World Hvt.

– Paul Heyman cut a promo. Heyman said “Tonight here in Philly, you get to witness history, A 2 on 1 Handicap Match.” Heyman said “It is and honor to team with your reigning Intercontinental Hvt. Champion Curtis Axel against CM Punk.” “This won’t just be an ordinary match it will be a No Disqualification Match, So this means you get to see Punk do anything he wants to do, and that makes you happy?” “I know Philly is a Godless City but Axel told me about the 11th Commandment, Thou shall not chant CM PUNK!” This had the crowd chanting CM PUNK! Punk came out to a huge pop and grabbed the mic and said “A few months ago here in Philly (at the Money In The Bank PPV) Paul Heyman smashed a Ladder in my face and costed me 13 staples, tonight I’m going to put Axel to sleep and put Heyman out of his Misery!”
(7) CM Punk defeated WWE Intercontinental Champion Curtis Axel & Paul Heyman in a No DQ 2 on 1 Handicap Match when Punk pinned Axel after the GTS. A Kendo stick and chair was used though out the match. Heyman was mainly outside the ring but came in twice and hit Punk with a Kendo stick, he went to hit him a 3rd time at the end but Punk kicked him, knocked down Axel and started beating Heyman with the Kendo Stick. Punk celebrated and greeted the fans to close the show.
– With a lot of the talent being overseas for the Raw House Shows, it was overall a good show and each Superstar put their effort into the matches. The attendance at the Wells Fargo Center wasn’t that good, there was probably about 2500 to 3000 on hand with the whole entire upper deck empty. The original card was advertised to be Punk vs Axel in a No DQ Match but that was changed into the Handicapped match involving Heyman last week. It was to be Del Rio vs Christian for the World Title but Christian was still taken off the shows this weekend again and was replaced by Khali last week as well.
