WWE Raw results and live blog for June 3: Highway to (3 Stages of) Hell

WWE Monday Night Raw comes waltzing back into our lives tonight (June 3, 2013) from the XL Center in Hartford, Connecticut, featuring all the latest build to the Payback pay-per-view (PPV) that is now just two weeks away from invading Chicago, Illinois.

There's nothing particularly special planned for this show, outside of advancing the feud between John Cena and Ryback leading to the 3 Stages of Hell WWE championship match on June 16. Curtis Axel is still being pushed, kind of, The Shield are still getting a ton of TV time and are holding all of the gold, and Team Hell No are in the midst of what could be their break up.

So there's plenty going on. Just nothing too special.

Come right back here at 8 p.m. ET when the Raw live blog kicks off once the show starts on USA. It will be below this line here.
