What Brings HBK to Raw?
 Last week, the Chief Operating Officer of WWE, Triple H, explained why he turned down the Undertaker's challenge for Wrestlemania. Triple H told the fans that Undertaker was a shell of his former self and he refused the challenge because he respected the Undertaker he used to know. Later in the night, Interim Raw General Manager, John Laurinaitis, would announce that Shawn Michaels would be appearing on Raw this week to confront Triple H. What could be Michaels' motive for returning to Raw to speak to his former tag team partner? Michaels saw his career end at the hands of the Undertaker at Wrestlemania 26 and was involved between the two last year when he claimed that Triple H couldn't end the streak. Find out what the Heartbreak Kid has to say on Raw ...
 

Also on Raw
 Last week, Chris Jericho broke his silence and had some harsh words for his opponents in the Elimination Chamber: specifically WWE Champion, CM Punk. Jericho described his opponents as 'wannabes' and claimed that he was the best wrestler in the world. Later in the night, Jericho would win a six pack challenge to ensure he would enter last at the Elimination Chamber. What is next for the superstars vying for the WWE Title? Also last week, Kane promised that worse things would come if Cena refuses to embrace the hate. With Kane admitting that he's afraid of himself, how far will Kane go to get Cena to hate? Also, it was announced on WWE.com that John Laurinaitis was not fired, so expect to see him celebrate the fact that he kept his job.
 

Obviously a promo with Taker, Triple H and HBK is coming, can't wait for that.Also I wanna see who stands up, this week as a real threat to beat CM Punk, me I hope it's Jericho.Should be a Raw that will be great to watch.

Does anyone know if the show's being delayed for the Dog show? I sincerely hope not.

[Rhymin' Greiman]

Websites both claim its starting at it's usual time.... I remember back in the day how much I wish that dog show would get bombed when Raw got bumped...

[Adampro123]

Haha yeah i remember when i was a kid being so excited for wrestling and then turning it on and there being a dog show or some tennis match and being super let down.

[Leonardo Lunchbox]

R-Truth is by far the best thing on RAW.

On my chart right now it goes:
1. Truth
2. Mr. Excitment
3. Ziggler
4. Punk
5. Otunga

Dunno if I could disagree with that list. Ryder was good too before they decided to write him off.

[RyPrax]

So, really, wtf is the point of burying Ryder like this anymore? They used him to get Cena over, enough already. Pushing him off the stage every week is getting old. The dude works hard for a year to get over, he finally gets a shot and then they fucking bury him via the most public feud in the company. And while we're at it lets give him a girlfriend and then have her kiss Cena. That last 10 minutes of RAW was the most mind-numbing WTF writing on Raw in a long time. It really shouldn't be this hard to turn Cena heel.

taker is now on raw opening instead off smackdown

[Majin HoHo]

Yeah, I don't get why do this to Ryder what to make a special I'm healed run? I thought forgive me God, when he fell off the stage I laughed my ass off.WWE is making this Cena/Kane more important than the WWE Championship which is wrong.As for Eve, she has no career now, I don't know if she make up for that, boo that Woman.The matches on the card were pretty good, not great, thought Miz and Punk could of went longer, felt rushed for the ending with Kane and Cena, and Ryder.The show was stolen with the Shawn Michaels/Triple H segment.Both men really drew me in, wanting to see Taker vs Triple H three, I just have a feeling that HBK becomes the Ref in the match and turns on Triple H, due to jealousy that cannot get as close to beating Taker.From here on out, Shawn needs to be on Raw to help that story grow..

[Adampro123]

Remember when the US Champion would actually be on Raw? So much for that helping out Swagger.

I enjoyed the Ryder/Eve/Cena/Kane stuff this week actually. would rather him be used in a better way but at least he's being used.

Overall it was kind of a meh show.

The HBK segment was kind of awkward at first but once Triple H got out there it was really good from both guys.

Opening segment didn't do much for me. Truth rambled forever and Miz got cut off because he went over the allowed time?

Kofi and Ziggler loses. Ziggler hadn't won since losing at the rumble so i don't like that.

Ortons botch on Show was funny. Bryan beating both guys down after the match was good. Cole should make up his mind weather he likes him or not.

[Majin HoHo]

Yeah that beating after the botch was great, people were still chanting for Daniel Bryan, what will WWE do next to try to make him full heel, oh get Michael Cole to be his Manager? Bring back Ross, and Cole Manager of Bryan, that would work.

[RyPrax]

Yeah, I don't get why do this to Ryder what to make a special I'm healed run? I thought forgive me God, when he fell off the stage I laughed my ass off.WWE is making this Cena/Kane more important than the WWE Championship which is wrong.

I'm not sure I agree with that. The title match sells itself by basically being the title of the PPV, opened the show and had, what, 2-3 matches of build on the card? WWE's always had big non-title feuds and I think they've handled Cena vs. Kane well, it hasn't dominated the show but it's created some big moments. I don't like how they've treated Ryder, but I am looking forward to the match and it is important for Cena considering how big Rock vs. Cena is going to be.

And ya, that spot was ridiculous. You could tell there was padding beside the stage...

[Majin HoHo]

I told my Dad and brother, next week Ryder is going to be wearing a body cast.They did have matches based from the Chamber, but they were all rushed, especially Punk vs Miz.WWE Champion should get more respect than that.I could of made a sandwich and it was over, Miz tapping out.I mean if you know at the guys in the Raw Chamber one of the best, Punk, Jericho we know what they can do.Ziggler future WWE Champion, Kofi high flyer, Miz and Truth solid Wrestlers.I must say, best team in the Chamber since the first one, and third one, that Triple H, the chamber in Puerto Rico..

You should do a weekly thread where you tell us what your various family members thought about wrestling.

[Majin HoHo]

Well on that, I debate pretty much every week with my Dad, on his era of watching Wrestling to mine growing up.My younger brother said to me, when Ryder fell over the ramp, it's time to roll out,lol.
