WWE Monday Night RAW Thread

Minus Cena and Mysterio winning the title on the same fucking night, WWE delivered tonight.

I haven't enjoyed a Raw in a long ass time!

Great show!

It least it sets up the storyline but Rey is officially the shortest reigning champ of all time. Like 40 mins? Christian must feel better.

Nope, Orton is. No Mercy 2007 he lost the title to HHH like 10 minutes after he was named champion. Though, I do believ Yokozuna's reign was shorter when he lost to Hogan @ WM.

EDIT: And J. Hardy is the shortest reigning WHC ever: Summerslam 09: CM Punk mitb cash-in.

Extreme Rules cashin, actually

but on a much bigger note...im gonna leave this here...



sink it in...in a matter of a month and a half almost, CM Punk is more fucking over than Cena, Orton, Mysterio. anyone who says otherwise...is a moron

It's funny, I stopped watching when I when rey came out for the second time, because I knew cena was going to win. Then I flipped by to it towards 10:05 and saw CM Punk standing in the ring, and I thought, "Damn, what the fuck did I miss?" But I was happy to see him back.

@ Dead: Oh, yeah. It was Extreme Rules -- bc SSlam was Jeff's last ppv.

I concur! The guy is on top of his game. Best all-around performer in the company -- in the world.

i might be the only one but i wish Del Ray came with Punk and KOW for a short stint..beat the crap out of Kelly...won the divas title.

kinda invasion-like. then she can drop it to Beth later...or Nattie. idc who.

I thought that bit with Triple H making fun of R-Truth was the funniest stuff of the night. Also, I love J.R. Hell, everybody loves J.R.

So CM Punk and Cena are co-champs like Lay-Cool. Cena is the Rosa Mendes of the group. CM Punk's promo is AMAZING!!!! No one can fuck with him, though he needs a new title.

CM Punk...

Triple H is in charge...

Jim Ross is back...

Hell, maybe WWE is starting to realize their mistakes, and they're starting to turn things around for the better.

Rosa? You mean Layla?

One can only hope so.

I'll give these guys credit for making things much more intriguing than they have been in quite a while. On top of that, there has been a noticeable tweak in language restrictions upon their stars.

I gotta say, I've been surprised and impressed with how WWE has handled things recently/.

Nope I meant Rosa. U know she was the crappy chick that couldn't hold a candle to either one of them and she tried so hard to be down, but she just didn't have it. And that's cena.

Following his return at the end of last week’s edition of WWE Monday Night RAW and the announcement from the company that CM Punk would open last night’s edition of WWE Monday Night RAW on the USA Network, would there be a surge of interest in viewership and ratings?

According to various online reports, the August 1st edition of WWE Monday Night RAW on the USA Network did a 3.31 rating, rounded to a 3.3 rating overall. The show, which featured CM Punk addressing his return to the company, Triple H addressing the WWE Championship situation, a Divas Battle Royal in which Beth Phoenix became the number one contender to the WWE Championship, as well as a tag team match featuring The Miz and R-Truth taking on the team of Rey Mysterio and John Morrison did hours of 3.28 and 3.33.

The show had an overall viewership audience of 4,804,000 viewers.

They need a new belt now.

Nash Looks like CM Punk's daddy.

He needs to stop dying his hair.

My hat goes off to WWE. This stuff over the last month or so, with Punk, has been very entertaining.

I am happy Kevin Nash is back makes me excited about wrestling again

The only thing exciting about this match was the commentary.

LOL Anyone see the Del Rio look-alike in the front row?

Are they trying to make Punk & Steph the new Steph & Jericho?

It looks like it, Tank.

The irony of Cena saying if he faces Dle Rio, ADR won't be so lucky. Yeah, because damn near anytime he's in a title match, he wins.

We can't ever go a ppv without Orton, Cena or Mysterio having a title match. SMH!

WWE bookers think that Cena is the man, so he won't be out of the title picture any time soon.

Personally, I've started watching a bit of Raw again because of C.M. Punk. I don't believe that WWE Creative is getting any better, because that would take a miracle of biblical proportions, but who knows... Maybe I'll be proven wrong.

All I know is, I like what Punk is doing.

Kourne wins the tag belts!

Johnny Ace tells Trip that Nash was just in a car wreck.

So, that must mean.... MATT HARDY IS BEHIND IT!

plus why on earth would Layla be the Cena in repsects to promo skills. Layla and Punk are both better then their counterparts.

I am not happy with the tag title change. The uso's should have won it....they have been on a roll for months and suddenly within about 2 weeks two random guys whacked together become champs. not fair imo

The only dry spot of the night was the Divas match.

The crowd was more alive than it's been in a very long time.

I'm glad those bland, pieces of trash dropped the tag titles.

The Ziggler/Vickie/Swagger saga is interesting. Vickie looked really MILFish.

Earlier I was thinking, WWE might throw a monkey wrench into the HHH/Nash/Punk drama. Though I doubt it, I wouldn't be surprised if it were HBK who sent the text.

That segment was garbage.

The whole saga with these three has become stale.

blah i cant believe Nash has been involved anyway

did WWE not see what happen to TNA when Nash got involved.....it became garbage and overrun with has beens...............i swear to god there bettter not be like a Nash v HHH match at Mania or soemthing

Nice to see the Internet Champion.

I like Zack, but I prefer him heel.

Oh, anyone notice Del Rio calling the three Raw heels that attacked Cena the "Raw rudos"? Rudos is the lucha term for heels, so he actually introduced them as the Raw Heels.

Zack Ryder actual getting decent tv time. All I can say is WWWYKI!

LOL @ Ziggler overselling that weak ass punch from Hugh Jackman.

Hugh Jackman was AWESOME as the RAW guest star. He was totally invested in it, cut a great promo and had great interaction with the Superstars, and really sold his performance. Total professional. In fact I'd say he was THE BEST RAW guest host/star ever.

Plus he looked hot as fuck as usual

I'm beginning to hate Johnny Ace.

Can't wait to find out who the GM is going to be.

Hmm.... interesting.

I think they're delivering tonight.

I want to see where they take Cody/Orton.

This is where the US title ruins things. They want to bring back prestige to the IC title, but there's this other mid-card championship that's just... there. WWE hasn't been bad of late so I can't complain. Hopefully once the the conspiracy angle concludes, which probably won't be until WrestleMania. They will work the US title completely out of the picture. Things looks messy when you have as many champions as there are running back and forth on SD! and Raw with their belts. Which championship is more meaningful? Not everyone can get pushed as champion. That would be dumb anyway! WWE just has to be wise about building people up and story lines.

I would've preferred watching Triple H wrestle a broom for 2 hours..
