WWE Monday Night Raw AfterBuzz TV AfterShow show

Summary: AFTERBUZZ TV – WWE's Monday Night Raw edition, is a weekly “after show” for fans of USA's WWE's Monday Night Raw. In this episode, hosts Maria Kanellis, Chris Jozeph, Jensen Karp, and Mike Bennett break down the episode in which Champion CM Punk opened the show and angrily called out Jericho for bringing up his father's alcohol issues. Saying Jericho crossed the line, The Straight Edge Superstar went on to state the seriousness of alcoholism and why Jericho is really the "pathetic" one for making light of a grave condition. Jericho didn't heed Punk's message, however, as he appeared on the TitanTron just as he did last week – this time making a stunning allegation that Punk's sister had substance-abuse problems. Punk immediately told Jericho to shut up, called him a liar and vowed to beat the lies out of him at WrestleMania.Kane surprisingly made quick work of Big Show, courtesy of Cody Rhodes' distraction at ringside. The World's Largest Athlete felt the pain of Kane's chokeslam, but the post-match humiliation was what really made Big Show's temper boil. After giving Big Show a brutal Disaster Kick, Rhodes handcuffed him to the ropes and unleashed a flurry of punches while wearing boxing gloves, making light of when Floyd Mayweather knocked out Big Show at WrestleMania XXIV. The World's Largest Athlete was clearly fuming after the insulting beatdown from the Intercontinental Champion.Sporting an airbrushed-on six-pack, Santino Marella came out with a fistful of confidence – and the humor to match – against David Otunga. But unfortunately for the U.S. Champion, this only provided Otunga the motivation to pull off an upset in this Non-Title Match. After the contest, Interim Raw General Manager John Laurinaitis mocked Santino by doing the trombone dance. SmackDown General Manager Teddy Long wouldn't idly stand by and watch him mock the U.S. Champion, though, and smacked Laurinaitis across the face, then busted a move with Santino on the entrance way as Laurinaitis was left steaming.Vignette teasing 'Lord Tensai' aired. A promo teasing a mysterious individual known as Lord Tensai was shown, leaving the WWEUniverse buzzing about who this unknown -- and seemingly dangerous -- man could be. Inspired by the visage of Rocky Balboa towering above him, The Rock gave a stirring speech about how he's going to conquer John Cena at WrestleMania XXVIII. As he ran through some of his most memorable moments in his WWE career, The Most Electrifying Man in All of Entertainment walked through the WWE Universe how he plans to take down the leader of Cenation in Miami on April 1.
