The show kicked off with Piven driving in his Trans AM Firebird, with his side kick locked in the trunk, Dr. Ken, a.k.a. the Asian Gentleman from Hangover.
Piven and Dr. Ken ran around the ring - almost as if this was a wish fulfillment of theirs. Jeremy even went up the ramp to set off the pyro for his re-entrance.
Then The Miz showed up demanding a rematch against John Cena - I know.... not another match!
Wittily, Piven started calling Miz, Les Miz - an abbreviation for the French Musical, Les Miserables. And then John Cena came in to stir up the crowd - Michael Cole commenting that Cena is also a movie star. - Just because Cena was in two, box office failed, movies does not make him a movie star.
So, Michael Cole Acclaimed Movie Star, John Cena accepted the challenge under the condition that Piven spices it up a bit - Piven declared a Lumber Jack Match - really?
Even Miz was annoyed at the stale creativity of Piven, all that power as the Guest Host and you issue a Lumber Jack Match.
Jeremy then added another stipulation - if The Miz loses - he would be banned from SummerFest! wait... what? Cena corrected the mistake - I think Jeremy means SummerSlam.
There can be two possible explanations for this: 1) Jeremy is really adamant about banning Miz from The World's Largest Music Festival - or 2) Piven does not follow wrestling because every wrestling fan knows SummerSlam - it's one of the original PPVs along with Royal Rumble.
However, trying to recuperate from the error, Piven declared that if Les Miz loses to Cena - he would be banned, not only from SummerSlam, but from the Staples Center and RAW.
Is Miz being drafted to a different brand - or, better yet, being sent to FCW?
Piven scheduled some matches, including: Mark "Swoggle" against Chavo Guerrero (The man never catches a break) and a United States Title Match - Kofi Kingston defending against The Big Show!
Yet, the main concern was with Randy Orton - for once wanting to be put into a match. But Piven already booked the whole night and offered Orton to be the Special Ring-Announcer.
Orton viciously threaten the two - If I could kick Vince McMahon in the Skull, what makes you think for one second that I would hesitate to do the same thing to either of you!
Everything until now was all fun and games for Piven and Dr. Ken, but with The Viper ready to strike at any moment, their game plan had to change.
And it changed in a big way - As Piven announced at the start of the match that Piven and Dr. Ken may be fans of Cena - but they are bigger fans of Randy Orton.
And not only that they were fans, but that he handpicked every lumber jack for this match: Cena would be, in the ring, surrounded by RAW's heels!
John Cena is the WWE Superman, because much like Hulk Hogan, he can have the whole world against him and he still wins.
John Cena was trampled underfoot by Legacy, and passed out from The Master Lock of Chris Masters, but he STILL manages to kick out and pin Miz for the 1-2-3!
It is unbelievable of the power that Cena is made to have; and with Cena's win comes the banishment of The Miz from SummerSlam, The Staples Center, and RAW.
Jeremy tried to get back at Cena for ruining his plans by climbing the top turnbuckle and performing a cross body - but Cena, of course, caught him. Then Dr. Ken, very Mr. Fuji of him, came and whacked Cena with his walking stick.
Then Cena grabbed a begging Dr. Ken and tossed him over the ropes into a crowd of heels.
Jeremy Piven failed to deliver the goods to WWE Champion Randy Orton, and, now, Orton's future as champion seems dimmer as we near closer to SummerSlam.
If Piven wasn't so obessed with promoting his movie - as one point for laughs - he looked into the camera while talking to Orton - You mean The Goods, opening in theaters August 14th? - Then he would have been a great Heel Host, but he fell short.

Eh... I did not really enjoy RAW this week. Piven was just... horrible!
I don't really think Cena is TOO strong but he does have freakish amount of natural strength.
Dr. Ken was horrible. I almost stopped watching RAW because he was so annoying!
