WWE Monday Night Raw
June 17, 2013 – Grand Rapids, MI
Ricardo Rodriguez and Alberto del Rio open the night to a very mixed reaction. The make their way down to the ring, and del Rio talks about doing everything for the WWE Universe, and them never showing him the respect he deserves as a World Champion. They chant "we want Ziggler" in response. Del Rio calls them all pigs and cowards and claims himself as the best because he has the title. He starts ranting about respect, and being the best in the world, and…out comes CM Punk to cut him off.
A massive ovation greets Punk as he makes his way down to the ring with Paul Heyman. Punk mentions that he held the WWE title for over 400 days, and del Rio just happens to be the guy who he beat for the championship. But that's not why he's out tonight; he's there because there can only be one "best in the world", and that man is CM Punk. ADR holds up the World title, and Punk lays down the challenge.
Paul Heyman cuts him off and says that his client doesn't fight for free. Punk asks him what he's doing, and says that Dolph Ziggler deserves a rematch. But since del Rio stole his title at Payback, and since Punk was stealing the whole show, he thinks they should have a World Heavyweight title match right here tonight. Vickie Guerrero comes out with Brad Maddox and says that the decision is hers to make. She books the two of them in a non-title match in tonight's main event.
