Like everyone else in the world, I was interested in seeing what was going to happen with the WWE Title situation. WWE did not did disappoint with their opening segment. CM Punk and HHH were tremendous on the microphone. The crowd was excited and ate the whole segment up. It was comical and at certain times truthful. What was even better is that this is the start of setting up a match between the two of them. A rumor is going around that at Survivor Series a match will be set up between the two. However, I say wait until Wrestlemania. CM Punk vs HHH on the grandest stage of them all will be amazing and would be a better match than John Cena vs Rock. As Punk and HHH are better wrestlers than Rock and Cena.
Beth Phoenix wins a divas battle royal to become number one contender.
A comical backstage segment with R-Truth and the Miz. Miz opens up with his catch phrase, which has become the new 'WHAT', Really. Really. Really. They talk about conspiracies, which R-Truth brings up a good point. If WWE was trying to do everything they could to bring back CM Punk, why were the wrestlers competing in a tournament to crown a new WWE Champion.
Miz and R-Truth team up to take on Rey Mysterio and John Morrison. A fast pace and action packed match. The Miz and R-Truth win the match. After the match, Miz hits the Skull Crushing Fianle on Morrison. Then R-Truth hits him with a bottle of water. From the past few weeks, it appears that the Miz will fight Mysterio at SummerSlam as I don't see what else either of them can do because the title picture is so screwed up that you can't have a number one contender because you don't have a champion. While R-Truth will fight John Morrison.
A short promo is shown with HHH about his announcement tonight with the two champions situation.
Dolph and Vicki come out. They really need to get rid of Vicki, as she is holding Dolph back. She is just plain annoying. Alex Riley comes out and the Miz has taught him well. Quickly becoming one of my favorite up and comers. Hope WWE doesn't push him too quickly as they have done with others. This segment was good. Gave Riley some respect and made Dolph get heat from the fans. These two could have a great match at SummerSlam for the United States Title.
Next is a tag team match that nobody really cares about as the WWE doesn't have a tag team division. Otunga and McGillicutty vs Santino Marella and Zach Ryder. Horrible match. Kept no interest. Listening to Cole, Lawler and Ross argue like children was almost enough to make me switch the channel. Winners: Otunga and McGillicutty.
They show a replay of what happened earlier with Punk and HHH and I can't get over how good that segment was. Punk does a short interview in the back about what his thoughts are about the title situation. Then we cut to the ring as Alberto Del Rio, Mr. Money In The Bank, comes out to face Evan Bourne.
The matches haven't been great tonight. Only the tag team match between Miz and R-Truth vs Mysterio and Morrison was good.
Seriously the WWE has to do something with their announce team. Listen to these three bicker is actually making them lose ratings. Del Rio beats Bourne easily. This was a match to keep people interested in Del Rio and remind people how good he is. Del Rio attacks Bourne after the match. Kofi comes and makes the save, setting up a match for them at SummerSlam.
They show a poll on who the WWE Champion should be and I don't see how the fans can say that John Cena should be WWE Champion. We can live without Cena holding the title and taking all the glory allow someone else to have the spotlight.
HHH comes out and is about to make his decision. John Laurinaitis interrupts HHH. He tells HHH to strip Cena, of course they are not. But this brings Cena to the ring. They talk a bit, he threatens to hit Laurinaitis and he leaves. HHH announces that he is not going to strip Cena. Bringing out CM Punk, who should be the true champion. HHH says he isn't stripping Punk either. At SummerSlam they will fight winner is the true champion. The only decision HHH could make. Punk and Cena take turns at raising the belt in the air and the crowd reacts to each of them as Raw goes off the air.
Not a bad Raw. Looking forward to seeing Cean vs Punk again at SummerSlam. Although, I believe that the WWE will allow Cena to beat Punk and give him the title. Because they are already talking about Punk vs HHH at Survivor Series as i noted above.
