00:00Speaking of the WWE champion, Alberto Del Rio, after being humiliated by the world's largest athlete in his home country
00:06of Mexico, Alberto Del Rio steps into the ring with the world's largest athlete, the Big Show, Del Rio and
00:14Big Show, one-on-one, live next on Raw.
00:20Ladies and gentlemen, we are back live tonight in Atlanta for Monday Night Raw with the WWE champion.
00:28Look at that 2004 Forrest Carrera 3. It's worth 100 grand. No doubt.
00:36This bout is set for one fall. Introducing first, from San Luis Potosi, Mexico, weighing two, 139 pounds, he is
00:44the WWE champion, Alberto Del Rio.
00:51Well, there's no personal ring announcer for this matchup for Alberto Del Rio because earlier tonight, Riccardo Rodriguez got involved
00:58in CM Punk's business, apparently on the request of Mr. Del Rio.
01:03We're going to show you what happened when Monday Night Raw kicked off here tonight in Atlanta, ladies and gentlemen.
01:08It was CM Punk versus Mark Henry. Remember, King, CM Punk had to defeat the world's heavyweight champion, Mark Henry,
01:13in order to earn himself a WWE championship opportunity against Alberto Del Rio at Survivor Series.
01:21Del Rio and Rodriguez came to the ring, and then Del Rio sent Rodriguez actually into the ring.
01:25Yeah, as soon as CM Punk got the upper hand on Mark Henry, look at this, Riccardo was forced into
01:32the ring, if you ask me, and he was made to attack Mark Henry.
01:37Insane, if you ask me. The official had some leeway there.
01:41Riccardo Rodriguez getting swatted away by Mark Henry. He would return for more.
01:45He would eventually be disqualified, causing CM Punk, I should say, to be disqualified, allowing Mark Henry to win the
01:53matchup.
01:53A livid Punk would send Rodriguez into the world's strongest fan and the world's strongest slam.
01:58But Punk was upset because of Rodriguez's actions caused an opportunity at the WWE championship.
02:04And long story short, thanks to that, man, we didn't have to listen to Riccardo Rodriguez and that annoying announcement.
02:14I'm sick of that guy anyway.
02:16Ladies and gentlemen, WWE Survivor Series is presented by WWE 12, the video game.
02:21It's doors November 22nd.
02:23Pre-order now to receive the exclusive playable character of The Rock.
02:27And speaking of The Rock, what about the major Survivor Series news we heard at the top of the program
02:31tonight?
02:31Well, The Rock, it was a little bit of trick, a little bit of treat.
02:35I mean, at first I thought The Rock was not going to accept and beat John Cena's partner, but didn't.
02:39Well, how things change.
02:41It looks like they will see at Survivor Series.
02:45And it's important.
02:46Standing at seven feet tall.
02:49Weighed for 141 pounds.
02:55The Big Show.
02:58Oh, man.
02:59Well, ladies and gentlemen, for the producers of The Bourne Trilogy, all new episodes of Covert Affairs return to USA
03:05Network.
03:05Hang on for one hot international spy adventure.
03:08Don't miss Covert Affairs tomorrow at 10, 9 Central on the USA Network.
03:13For more information, go to covertaffairs.usanetwork.com.
03:17And again, going to see what condition Big Show is in here tonight.
03:20Molly, what happened eight nights ago at Vengeance?
03:24We showed you the footage a little bit earlier tonight.
03:26We're going to show it to you again here, ladies and gentlemen.
03:29No, we're not, from what we understand.
03:30But that was Big Show and Mark Henry actually imploding the ring at Vengeance.
03:37Okay, at your request, Michael Coe, we'll see it again.
03:40Oh, here we go.
03:41A superplex from the world's strongest man on the world's largest athlete causes the ring to completely collapse.
03:50The carnage and, as you said, maybe I said, the tonnage that was inside that collapse ring, it was unbelievable.
03:57And you know what I thought was interesting is the fact that Friday night on SmackDown, Big Show said he
04:02was ready to go.
04:03He wanted another title opportunity against Mark Henry.
04:06Mark Henry said, no way, I've had enough.
04:08You've had your chance, Big Show.
04:09I'm moving on.
04:11So tonight, Big Show versus Alberto Del Rio.
04:14Del Rio looking for retribution two weeks ago in Mexico City.
04:18Big Show knocked out Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez with the weapon of mass destruction, the big right hand.
04:25Well, the Big Show is not in a good mood.
04:29Look at those blows to the midsection.
04:32And that went to the chest of Alberto Del Rio.
04:36And again, our interim law general manager, John Laurinaitis, showing how fair of a man he can be, told CM
04:43Punk,
04:43listen, I understand that, you know, you really got screwed out of your opportunity earlier tonight for the WWE title.
04:49He told Punk, listen, as long as Del Rio agrees, I'll give you your championship match at Survivor Series.
04:55What a wonderful man.
04:57What a wonderful opportunity.
04:58Well, that is all wonderful and all well and good.
05:00But what makes you think Alberto Del Rio, he doesn't want any part of CM Punk.
05:04You don't know that.
05:04He's not going to agree to give Punk a match.
05:05How do you know that?
05:06Why would he?
05:08He's the champion.
05:09Yeah, he takes on all comers.
05:10Look at what he's doing to the Big Show here.
05:12Was.
05:14Well, Alberto Del Rio's only chance in this is if he can somehow, well, Big Show needs to stay on
05:19the offensive because I know Alberto noticed as we did.
05:23Oh, man.
05:25Big Show wincing just as he had to walk up those steps.
05:27His back cannot be, I don't even know if it's 50%.
05:31And there's Del Rio looking for an opening to Big Show.
05:34Got to stay on the offense like that, Joe.
05:36Plowing over the WWE champion.
05:39And you notice Big Show moving rather gingerly.
05:41Well, what in the world?
05:42You just saw the footage.
05:44The band landing so hard.
05:45Oh, man.
05:47Suplex by Big Show into the cover.
05:49Pokes the leg on Del Rio.
05:52Kick out at two by the champ.
05:53And when the Big Show got suplexed like that by Mark Henry, the entire ring collapsed.
05:58Yeah, but think about it.
06:00On the top rope, nearly 1,000 pounds combined, the Big Show and Mark Henry.
06:05Yeah, I'm telling you.
06:07I don't know of any ring that could withstand that.
06:11Oh, incoming.
06:12And Del Rio stopped using his quickness.
06:15But Big Show exploding out of the corner as well.
06:20Big Show really had Mark Henry's number for a number of weeks.
06:25Leading up to that matchup at Vengeance.
06:28Soda don't blame Mark Henry for not wanting to get in the ring with Big Show again.
06:33But he's still the champ.
06:34That's all that matters.
06:35I think that Alberto Del Rio right now is wishing he were not triple-creating
06:40rather than being in the ring with the Big Show.
06:44Man, you're just about better off anywhere than being in the ring with Big Show.
06:48Yeah, looking right to the leg, trying to knock the big man down.
06:51Big Show is the world's largest athlete, 7 feet tall, 485 pounds.
06:57And somehow staying on his feet here.
06:59It looks like Alberto Del Rio trying to go for some sort of sleeper home.
07:03This is one way to get the giant off his feet.
07:06Del Rio trying to wrap his arms, his hands around that huge skull of Big Show.
07:12Oh, it looks like Show is fading here.
07:19It really does.
07:20Look at Big Show's hit and faces.
07:23It's pretty deep red.
07:24This is great strategy by the WWE Champion Alberto Del Rio.
07:29Big Show is in deep trouble.
07:30Big Show may be fading.
07:33This is not good.
07:36Somehow he's still on his feet.
07:37Oh, there he goes.
07:39That's exactly what Del Rio wanted.
07:43Get Big Show down to his size.
07:44Big Show down to one knee now.
07:46Look at Big Show.
07:48Pretty nice teeth.
07:49Trying to somehow stay in this thing.
07:51But Del Rio continues to have that sleeper locked into Big Show.
07:55I don't care how big you are.
07:56The sleeper will take you down.
07:59I need to cut off the blood flow.
08:00That carotid artery there.
08:03You basically pass out from a lack of blood and oxygen to your brain.
08:08Big Show is losing strength by the second.
08:14Continues to weaken the world's largest athlete.
08:16Look at the size of his hands wrapping around the skull of Del Rio.
08:19But Big Show has nothing left.
08:21This is great strategy by the Champion.
08:23What do you mean nothing left?
08:24Look at the Big Show.
08:25He's back on his feet.
08:26That's amazing.
08:27Big Show laughs, gasp, gasp, and he breaks the sleeper hole momentarily.
08:32Del Rio a long way down, and Big Show trying to get back into this.
08:36Del Rio got to be wondering what is it going to take to do the Big Show in.
08:45Big Show got to get that flow back to that.
