WWE RAW RESULTS AND LIVE BLOG FOR DEC. 2

Rex here. Time to mark out with our snark out.

_____________________________________

CM Punk starting things off with us tonight.

Punk doesn't really want to get himself involved with the Authority.

He states that HHH has to be smart enough not to pick a fight with one of the biggest anti-authority figures in WWE history.

If they are they are d-bags according to Punk.

Stephanie comes out and hopes everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Stephanie says that Punk should know that the McMahons are big fans of free speech.

She says its ridiculous and beneath them to have the Shield attack Punk for him calling HHH a bad name.

She says that despite Punk's ego, the Authority has bigger issues to deal with then Punk.

Punk is given the chance to air any grievances with the Director of Operations because Stephanie is fair.

Kane gives a bunch of corporate speak about an investigation that finds Punk's claims unfounded.  The Authority had nothing to do with the Shield attack.

Punk calls Kane the Big Red Ass kisser.

Kane says they aren't the enemy and recommends Punk doesn't continue down this path.

Punk throws down the gauntlet and challenges Kane.

Kane starts to make his way down but Stephanie stops him.

Shield starts to make their way down but Stephanie admonishes them and says that Punk should be respected and admired as she walks off.

Kane then announces that Punk will be in a handicap match at TLC against the Shield.
