Official Monday Night RAW Thread: 7/4/11

Good.

This is another idea I wouldn't mind seeing.

Right now I really want to see Punk win and without John Cena around decide to stay. But if Cena vs Rock at WM for the title was to happen, and Punk return shortly after with his belt saying he's still champ then he gets the #1 contender spot and beats Cena again.

There's so many REALLY good options for the angle right now, I can't believe how good its turning out.


Anyone else notice R-Truths awful promo went from him talking to Flo (from Progressive) then he says he saved with Geicko? That made it even more lame than it was.

The Nexus tag match really highlighted how awful the champions are. They got in a few typical big guy moves and let Santino carry the entire match as far as any entertainment value. Kozlov made the match atleast look somewhat credible. We need new champions, the Nexus have blown this chance. I wouldn't mind Santino and Kozlov as champs, like I said, Santino is highly entertaining, and Kozlov is really good in the ring. I think they're a great pair. Of course I want the Uso's to get the belts but they would be okay too.

Ryder coming out and interrupting them was awesome too. I would much rather see him as a singles wrestler, but whatever gets him on TV. Hes earned it.

If the girls in the Divas match weren't as good looking as they are, the Divas matches would be unwatchable. Why do they feel the need to scream as loud as they can at everything? I still feel that Kelly Kelly is pretty good in the ring though.

Didn't watch the Miz vs Riley match, I'm sure it was nothing new.

I feel like the Dolph Kofi feud is really good because they are both really good, but Dolph isn't getting much credibility as the champ with Kofi beating him and the outcome of the 3 falls match. I feel like if he's going to be champion he needs to pick up some clean wins over some people. Kofi is really impressive on the mic btw, for how little he says.

Sarge needs to not wrestle anymore.

The triple threat I though was average.

Even though I complained about a few things I still really liked the overall show, it was pretty good.

I love the idea of Cena losing, Punk leaving Chicago with the WWE title and Cena getting fired.

THEN:

- Punk takes the title to ROH (this would rely on an agreement between WWE and ROH if it were to be an angle obviously).

- Cena heads to ROH to exact some revenge on Punk and to try and redeem himself, but obviously ends up being kicked out of the building as he is not contracted to work there.

- After a few weeks of Cena showing up on ROH shows trying to attack Punk and challenging him to a rematch for the title, Vince McMahon challenges the two of them to return to WWE for one night only for a winner take all match. Punk refuses at first, but McMahon says he will offer Punk a huge purse (sum of money, ala Boxing) for the match, in excess of 1 million dollars (or some crazy s*** like that), and Punk cannot refuse.

- Match takes place at Summerslam, Cena reclaims the title. He comes home to RAW to a hugely warm response, the WWE title is back home after a month.

- However, Mr. McMahon takes the title from him, says thanks for bringing it home, but then reminds Cena that, just like Punk, Cena no longer works in the WWE. He was fired. McMahon demands security to eject Cena from the building. Swerve!

- Cena is gone, while a tournament for the now vacated WWE title takes place, with 8 superstars competing, leading up to the next PPV.

- Soon after this, enter The Rock: The Rock says, 'What does this MEAN for the biggest match of all time?' He reminds Mr. McMahon and the fans that a match we've all been looking forward to for nearly a year is all of a sudden, not gonna happen because of McMahon's ego. He reflects on how McMahon reinstated Punk after some persuasion from John Cena, and begins demanding that McMahon reinstates Cena too. He says McMahon is all about himself and that he's forgotten how to run a company, forgotten that what matters is giving the fans what they want. What matters is The Rock getting a chance to lay the smackdown on John Cena's candy ass. What matters is The Rock, an icon of his generation competing in one more match against John Cena, an icon of current day. He finally refers to when CM Punk said that he hopes the company will be better after McMahon is dead... and Rock says he can't help but think it will be, because McMahon has lost his damn mind.

- That gets under McMahon's skin. He says he will meet The Rock face to face the following week on RAW. He comes out looking outraged to begin with, but having had a week to reflect on what Rock said, McMahon says 'I agree with you.' He says he feels he has taught Cena a lesson by taking away the thing he loves (performing in the WWE) for a while, and that McMahon would be truly insane to not capitalise on such a huge encounter. This match will make money, and says that if fans are gonna pay money to see this match, then the match will by God happen.

Just like he brought back CM Punk, he reinstates Cena and says the match is on to the delight of the crowd. Cena has been gone for a few months rather than a few weeks, we've had a couple of swerves and a huge match still goes down at WrestleMania next year. Better yet, it will be an Icon vs. Icon showdown, not a WWE title match. This match sells itself on its own, without a title being on the line.

Anyway I imagine none of that will happen.
