Weak Raw. Finish left a lot there, could of at least had Ace take the finishers of Punk and Cena. Really no other point to have him out there unless this building towards something in the future involving Ace.

Like to add, Del Rio/Kofi feud re-hash that is likely is the WWE's way of saying we have no idea what to do with Del Rio until the Punk/Cena angle is over.

As much as I love and support the WWE, I'm a bit disappointed nothing happened that made me WANT to turn in next week, now i feel like I can miss next week's Raw.

Not a bad Raw, but it wasn't great either.
I'm glad they're getting a few new people into feuds, such as Dolph and Riley. As long as Dolph has been in the WWE, he really needs to give himself something that makes him stick out in terms of personality. Give him something interesting to do from now on and I can support him.
Riley is already good, he can talk and whatnot, but every other storyline rather than the CM Punk/Cena feud just feels like the every day WWE we're used to and not the sparked up more interesting version of what I want to see.
John Cena said the exact same thing twice in a promo to get the same pop
"I wanted to punch you in the face!"
"Ya know, I wanted to punch you in the face!"
Not much to complain about other than that. It's interesting to hear the mixed reactions for both champions. I still think Raw needs a dominant heel.

John Cena wins the popularity contest in Indiana, guess IWC people are not that loud, or theres not that many of them as I thought before.fixed. |

So-so RAW. Not anything great and not anything (sans Cole) terrible. Beth Phoenix's turn was good, and I loved Cena's promo on Johnny Ace. Good stuff to bookend the show, with everything in-between being fine, though a little boring.

So I guess we'll never find out the anonymous GM? And I hate Punk's new music. His old one always got me amped up for his matches.

Punk also lost the poll, but if we're to believe all of Punk's fans are Internet fans, (which I think is understating Punk's popularity), 46% isn't too shabby. |

Oh, wait..forgot to mention one thing.
The ending of Raw, like most people pointed out was really just 'meh' They're REALLY pushing the PPV rather than really buiding a hatred between these two characters. It closed on the exact same note, which was sorta just rubbish.
It's like saying "Here, you can be excited for these two ONLY if you order the PPV" which makes sense. However, for Raw storylines progressing, they didn't really do much to forward the two.
I really wanted to know where Punk was going to go with the PG rant with John Cena, as that's one place they haven't really went yet. They're obviously holding off, but once they get into it, I hope things really heat up.

They're right. Cena pops this town, Punk pops this one, Cena pops this one, etc. It's been back and fourth the whole time now. |

Decent RAW..The opening promo was awesome, Punk really put Hunter in his place from a kayfabe standpoint. I could care less about divas but the whole Beth Phoenix thing looks like it could finally bring a worth-watching womens fued. Miz and R-Truth looked good, looks like WWE's just waiting for the Cena/Punk thing to end so they can start to use their guys. I saw the Ziggler/Riley fued coming from a mile..and it was needed, Riley was exceptional on the mic as always and I believe this fued could put Ziggler and Riley over by the end of it. Probably see a new US Champ by the end of SummerSlam. Del Rio is just floating around till it's his time and the ending of RAW was crappy other than the Theme-Off, that had me dying.
6/10

They better add a match type to this. Like ladder or something. I'm hoping for a ladder match too. Yeah they really need a ladder to this match. |

Opening segment was great. The ending was meh, like some others here said. I mean, we all knew they were going to end up facing each other at Summerslam in Champ vs Champ. Triple H should have just announced that at the beginning and booked the two in a tag match main event.
And now Summerslam is, from the Raw side, one episode away and they only have 1 match booked so far! Seems like they will rush to put some matches together with no hype or anything. Punk and Cena better be an amazing f'n match.

Punk and Cena better be an amazing f'n match. RAW has two Matches, Cena/Punk and Beth/Kelly. They hyped some potential match-ups last week and this, so it's not like they're going to run into having a roster full of Evan Bournes to book against each other. RAW's got a few more Matches they can easily put on SSlam. |

RAW's got a few more Matches they can easily put on SSlam. Yes, forgot about the Divas match. And I'm pretty sure that R Truth and John Morrison will end up having a match. Maybe Dolph and A-Ry. I just wonder what they will do with Del Rio, I kind of see a match with Kofi pointless. And I also wonder if the Miz will be involved at Summerslam in some manner. |

As an attendant in the crowd, I thought this Raw was amazing. I was very disappointed how Cena had a bigger pop, also.
