*OFFICIAL* Raw Discussion Thread: 26th December 2011

Quote from: WWE.com
For two consecutive weeks, The Big Red Monster has viciously attacked John Cena on Raw SuperShow. What exactly are Kane's motivations? Will the WWE Universe find out tonight on Raw?
Quote from: CM Punk
Please, if you say ‘Because it’s your destiny’, I swear to jeebus I’m going to start drinking.

Don't forget Raw is in Chicago tonight I believe, and the Fans in the Arena should go nuts when CM Punk comes out.Also the Royal Rumble will possibly have two World Title matches, who will Punk and Bryan be facing, I hope we don't have a Big Show heel turn, I  hate him enough, don't add to it WWE.Also another it begins video tonight, should be the final ones.I hope we get enough clues to figure it out if it's Jericho or Taker.Heard on twitter, Jericho is done with Wrestling, but WWE is smart getting us sucked in for something big, and doing something out of the box from what he thought was going to happen.Should be a Raw to remember!

I doubt Jericho is done with wrestling, he might not be returning next week but I think he's still got at least one more stint in him (if not more tbh). And I'm pretty sure I'm right in thinking that he regained his love of wrestling from this recent stint of his; in comparison to his leave in 2005 where he just felt completely done with wrestling. Either way I hope he returns next week as the guy is a genius in the ring and has a lot more to offer; he's had enough time to recuperate as well.

Maybe we finally get a new WWE title feud tonight? it will probably just be ADR again though since the WWE and World title matches are pretty much give aways at the rumble. I Think and hope the crowed will be much better tonight and i expect the end of the show to be Punk getting beat or screwed somehow.

Punk vs. Ziggler next week, looks like Ziggler's 2012 push is coming early. Okay raw, I liked the gauntlet match and the Miz/Truth stuff, the promo at the end was okay but seemed completely pointless, otherwise kind of forgettable raw. But I kind of understand since it's December 26 and the ratings probably weren't going to be that high. Not much logic in putting that much effort in it. Next week should be pretty big though. The Jericho (or who ever) return, WWE title match, more Cena/Kane stuff... This week was sort of the set up to all that.


Think I'll have a wank over these tomorrow.

Interesting Raw to say the least.Happy to find out that Ziggler and Punk will entertain us next week, especially after seeing their awesome match weeks ago.I might wanna see Ziggler face him again the RR, but it might not happen.The Cena/Kane storyline is going well so far.Kane cut a perfect promo with his words, starting Cena to take in the hate and become a heel.Does it seem to you guys that Kane is more way more confident with the Mask.Del Rio leaving due the groin injury, but he will be back probably feuding with  maybe Daniel Bryan at WM who knows? Good lord, I don't wanna to see Brodus Clay not sure if anyone will care if he beats up Santino next week in 3 minutes.Are we undestimating what the difference in WWE will look if Cena turns heel? Chicago wants it, damnit I wanna see if he can perform a heel at the same level he met when he was heel before.Ok it begins segment.Shocked it was shown early, but check it out, it was shown when Punk was in the Ring raising up the belt.It could be Jericho..Next week, get the popcorn ready someone big is returning and it better not be Brodus Clay!

Good RAW imo, I feel like WWE has really caught my interest with these past 3 shows and hopefully it will continue that roll with a possible Jericho return next week. Best thing about this episode, Ziggler getting his championship opportunity next week. Really glad he's got that opportunity he's earned it and he is always awesome in the ring. With Del Rio injured, Miz in a feud with Truth it gives Ziggler a chance to shine in a main event spot. Kudos to Punk for letting him get over as well. The win came as a nice surprise as well, I was expecting Punk to win all three matches and then face Laurinaitis in front of his home crowd, seemed like too good an opportunity to miss, but I was really happy with the twist. Only complaint here was the weak finish to Swaggers match; oh well. I don't mind which way the Punk/Ziggler match goes next week, although if Jericho is returning I can see a nice little face tease promo with the crowd and then screwing Punk in the main event match to setup the twitter feud they've been having lately just in time for Wrestlemania. I found Kane's promo a bit slow and it kind of seemed like he had that Cody Rhodes awkwardness in his voice. Cena's eventual turn to heel pushed even more here, I kind of felt bad for him at the end of the episode. Del Rio's promo was hilarious, especially when he called the audience peasants lol, I kind of feel this could be a blessing in disguise for him even if getting injured sucks; he was clearly getting de-pushed lately and this will put him on the shelf to avoid that eventuality and give him hopefully a strong return at a later date. Miz's promo had a recycled feel to it, even though the guy can be entertaining, I feel like he is an average guy given all the backing possible. He didn't seem to sell very well when Truth was beating him down either; that's the thing with the Miz though he is a good mouthpiece, but he's incredibly average at everything else. Truth's return was alright, could have been better if the crowd were into it more, will be good to see his promo next week though. I'm finding Ryder has become too serious for my liking and get the impression the WWE are going to push him to fill in Cena's boots as top face; he's lost his charisma lately and its boring. I could see Cena's heel turn starting on Ryder and he'll screw him at some point with a feud between the two just before the Mania match? Awesome to see Tyson Kidd as well, hopefully he will be on TV more.

I enjoyed Raw and wrestling has got so much better for the following reasons

1. A new face who is absolutely awesome in CM Punk who is still fresh
2. Cena possibly turning heel
3. Dolph Ziggler/Cody Rhodes/ Daniel Bryan- all top in ring wrestlers who are getting pushed
4. Masked Kane stuff is interesting
5. Possible Jericho return
6. Zack Ryder as US champ
7. R-Truth/The Miz
