9. Rey Mysterio – July 25, 2011
Due to CM Punk leaving the company with the WWE Championship, and no sign of him ever returning, the WWE held a tournament to crown a new champion. The finals of the tournament would occur on the open of this Raw between Rey Myesterio and The Miz.
Rey would get the win, but then would suffer a beatdown from The Miz to enable Alberto Del Rio to try to cash in his Money In The Bank. Mysterio was able to escape before the match could even begin though.
Triple H set up a match to end the night where Mysterio agreed that he would defend against John Cena who was invoking his rematch clause. Cena would end up getting the win ending Mysterio’s reign at a couple of hours, and following the win, CM Punk would make a shocking return to set up champion vs. champion.
