Synopsis

"Stone Cold" Steve Austin seized command of Monday Night Raw. Across the company, Superstars from both Raw and SmackDown found themselves subject to the will of The Rattlesnake. In the main event, CM Punk's Nexus was barred from ringside as he challenged WWE Champion John Cena. A fiery Piper's Pit segment escalated into a confrontation between The Miz and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, culminating in a match. And that was just a taste of the night's action.
