Last night’s WWE Raw featured a Beat the Clock Challenge where the winner would choose his number in the 2013 Royal Rumble match itself this Sunday. Come to find out, Vickie Guerrero tells the winner he can only pick No’s 1 or 2. In addition, Guerrero banned The Rock from the arena only for Rock get in by using a ticket given to him by the San Jose Police Department. After cutting a promo on CM Punk (who was perched in a sky box), Rock was laid out by The Shield. In response, Vince McMahon told Punk and Paul Heyman that if anyone interferes on Punk’s behalf on Sunday, he will be stripped of the WWE Championship. We also saw Daniel Bryan and Kane ‘graduate’ from Anger Management class, even getting Jerry Lawler and Michael Cole to hug.
