RAW: HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT

On tonight's episode of WWE Raw, HHH opened the show by making a two huge announcements. First he announced that tonight and for the foreseeable future fans would not only see Raw superstars competing but would also see the stars of Smackdown. This means that the split brands has come to an end.

In my opinion, this has been a longtime coming. The split brands were great when Smackdown had its own pay per views. They could take time and create their own superstars. Like they did with Edge, Eddie Guerrero and John Cena. But now stories have gotten stale and we see the same old matches. Mainly due to the fact that Smackdown just doesn't have any stars.

With this announcement brings many questions. Will there still multiple titles? There shouldn't be. Putting everyone on one roster again should mean one champion.What is going to happen to the mid card stars. For example Christian. A big name star on Smackdown but with everybody fighting for one title he will never get a shot. So it will be very interesting to see how things will proceed.

However this will give time to let story lines to develop further. For a long time now story lines have gone on for four weeks and then have been dropped. Also with everyone on the same roster the tag team division should be strengthen. As the only way for some wrestlers to get television time will be as a tag team.


His second announcement was that Punk vs Nash at Night of the Champions. This is an awful match and it does nothing for Punk. Nash can not hang with the best in the world.


Raw continued the rest of the night with great matches. The first match: Randy Orton vs Dolph Ziggler. This match proved Dolph can hang with the big boys. Even though he was defeated by Orton, he had some great spots and proved he could be a future champion.

After a segment with Cena Christian Mark Henry and Sheamus. Which creates the main event of the night. CM Punk comes out to face The Miz. I love both of the wrestlers. Both of them are great in the ring. Punk a little more polished than Miz. Both fantastic on the microphone. Punk won by disqualification as R-Truth came down to help the Miz.

I like the duo of Truth and the Miz and think they will challenge and be tag team champions one day. But not for long as The Miz will be a world champion again.


Sin Cara defeated Jack Swagger with help from Dolph. Dolph got on the apron in the middle of the match yelling at Swagger. Distracting him. Cara took advantage of the distraction and won with a roll up.

Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston now known as Air Boom retained their titles against the team of David Otunga and Michael McGillicutty.

Main Event: Cena and Sheamus vs Christian and Mark Henry. The best wrestler of the four was clearly Christian. He can out wrestle them all. Christian just isn't the best wrestler in this match, he is the one of the best wrestler in the business. With that being said the faces defeated the heels in what was a pretty decent match.

The best news happened at the end of the night. HHH is shown in his office with CM Punk and announces that his match with Nash at Night of the Champions is cancelled and Punk will take on HHH.
