Raw in Review

I’m not American but it was nice to see that WWE had that Memorial Day vignette to start the show with. R-Truth actually kicked us off but we had technical difficulties so we couldn’t hear a word of what he said to us. After that we go to the main part of the arena where Cole and Lawler explain there are technical difficulties. R-Truth then begins to blast all of the Cena fans and then Cena interrupts for once. This little Jimmy is getting way out of hand even though it is kind of funny. Raw GM interrupts and Cole reads it. The GM books the main event to be R-Truth against John Cena (which is what we all want right?).

First match of the night is Kofi Kingston against Dolph Ziggler and it was very much a good match, what is up with Ziggler being blonde again, didn’t the black hair work good enough or is it because his brother is now signed he changed his hair back? The ever so present Vickie Guerrero was at ringside as expected when it comes to Dolph is she really helping hum much as a manager/valet with being at ringside? I don’t believe she is. Nice to see Ziggler hit the Fame-Ass-er. Not a big fan of the Zig Zag but it was the finish to the match.

I think when trying to watch it last night it got to Alberto Del Rio I couldn’t be bothered to watch the rest of Raw due to being tired. Nice to see Del Rio bringing up what happened previously with The Big Show and him being run over and having him say it was an accident is awesome. Funny he got Rodriguez to tell everyone what happened even though he speaks Spanish (yes I’m correct it isn’t Mexican they speak). Nice heel character from Del Rio and it was great how he said that Rodriguez will be sending the bill to Big Show for the damage he caused to his car.

I hope the rival isn’t fully renewed with Punk and Mysterio. Nice backstage segment with Kelly Kelly and Eve.

Bella Twins are already in the ring waiting for the match where they will be facing Eve and Kelly Kelly. After last week’s showing I’m expecting not much action before Kharma comes out and explains why she cried. Something messed up during the start of the match which caused Eve to lock in some submission move. I’m a bit pissed off that the match last week was shorter than this one, nice wardrobe malfunction and stinkface from Kelly Kelly.

Here comes Alex Riley’s apology but we start with Michael Cole in the ring who is the biggest Miz fan inside the WWE right now. So the Raw GM has signed Alex Riley even though he was on Smackdown which was still confusing as he appeared on Smackdown once. Alex Riley has a decent theme and a great titantron, thank god for Alex Riley who certainly weirdly be getting a push seeing as he is feuding with The Miz. Nice to see Alex Riley tells Michael Cole he is annoying but like the Miz? Alex Riley shouldn’t have touched Cole though as it meant the Miz was going to come out obviously. So we got a small re-run of last week as The Miz gets beat up by Riley again which means the future PPV match will see Riley lose sadly.

Punk Vs Rey Mysterio, I just hope CM Punk kicks his ass because Rey is getting boring to me. He is there just for the kids to gain the WWE the money. CM Punk is obviously the real fans wrestler as CM Punk came from the Indies and worked well to gain a top championship. Rey is still good and the suicide dive he did during the match was just epic. Nice to see CM Punk get the victory I just wish they didn’t do this feud over again just on a different brand, even if with this one we have Mason Ryan at ringside.

Oh god we have to hear Kharma speak, now a big monster like her should have a manager, yes she is cutting what seems a shoot style promo. Kind of like Sin Cara would have been better if she would have went to FCW because writing her off there would have been easier, but now her character is killed from being a beast character. Glad she explained she is pregnant. Are the Bella twins the new Lay-Cool seeing as they are just poking fun at Kharma (and it should happen that when she comes back she will destroy them). That was even greater she told The Bellas she wants them to be there for when she gets back but after she went silent I sadly had to laugh at that fan who shouted out that Kharma is going to eat them.

I so am getting annoyed that the keep showing this Capitol Punishment dream sequence, first time it was weirdly kind of funny but now it is getting very annoying.

Swagger vs Bourne are in a rematch from last week and weirdly picking up from last week we haven’t seen Drew McIntyre get used and Bret Hart isn’t on the show? Was my conspiracy right about when Bret Hart was there they would use Drew McIntyre because of the comments he made. Very much a great moment in the match was when Jack Swagger was doing push ups from Evan Bourne’s back. Not happy to see Bourne get the win even though he is talented, I guess I can expect a feud from these two guys.

More backstage moments with Truth talking to himself and then great to see Zack Ryder backstage with his internet championship as he bumped knuckles with Cena; R-Truth comes out to his own voice again. That one weird fan during the match shouting that Truth doesn’t have a t-shirt and Ryder does? What was the point in that seeing as Truth is talking about Cena? I’m glad Truth was always rolling out the ring every time Cena got some momentum it killed Cena’s buzz. Thank god for R-Truth he made Cena lose the match via countout. Quite obvious the father and two sons that Truth and Cena interacted with were plants or else Truth wouldn’t have thrown the drink over them.

I think Raw could have done a lot better this week and it gets a six & a half out of ten for how boring it is.
