First I want to mention something...although I am not really a Randy Orton fan, I was stunned to hear that he was in a motorcycle accident that ended up with him reinjuring his broken collarbone. What is it with the collarbone injured Superstars reinjuring themselves. Both Orton and Candice Michelle have done that. Anyway, I hope Orton gets better!
This weeks RAW starts off with one-half of the new World Tag Team Champions, John Cena talking about his upcoming match at SummerSlam. He then calls out Batista and the two go on to say which one of them is better...blah blah blah. I'm so annoyed when Cena comes out to do promos. I know he's one of the guys on top in the WWE but he's always talking about how the people want to see him in the ring and he should be in the main event. Is that why all the fans seem to boo you wherever you go, Cena? Don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on Cena. I have NOTHING against John Cena. It's just, let someone else be on top, back off for a while. I think he needs to take time off. At least for a little while. Did you see the crowd reaction when Cena returned at the Royal Rumble!? They went crazy! I have chills right now, just thinking about it. So, I think he needs to take time off and let the fans have time without him for a while so they will miss him. Am I making sense? I'm not that big of a fan of Cena or Batista but I think I want Batista to win at SummerSlam.
Kelly Kelly is up next to face Beth Phoenix. It was no question who was going to win this match. I think Kelly Kelly has gotten a lot better in the ring but she still isn't up to the standards of The Glamazon. There was one part in this match that I thought Beth almost dropped Kelly on her neck. After the replay, it didn't look as bad but it still made me gasp. QUICK NOTE: Where did Santino's unibrow come from? It's so distracting! After beating Kelly, Santino comes into the ring to tell Beth to do another move to Kelly to "send a message" to Mickie James. Then out comes Mickie James and Kofi Kingston!!! Santino then makes a challenge for a preview to SummerSlam, not to Kofi but to MICKIE JAMES! She accepts...
This was interesting to see Mickie versus Santino. Mickie can definitely hold her own against the men of the WWE! After a distraction, Beth interferes by throwing Mickie into the ringpost and Santino pins Mickie. I bet this defeat is really going to help Mickie to up her game for her match with Kofi against Beth and Santino at SummerSlam. This is one of the matches that I'm looking forward to seeing!
There is a backstage segment that ends up with General Manager, Mike Adamle and Kane. Adamle says that he's going to need Kane to hand over the bag because it's bad for business. Stating that children are going back to school soon and he didn't want kids following in Kane's footsteps by carrying around burlap bags scaring their classmates. HAHAHA Silly General Manager. He makes me laugh! He doesn't seem to be intimidated by Kane, either.
Next up was the return of The Highlanders versus Cryme Tyme. To be honest, I can't believe The Highlandes are still in the WWE. I thought they would've been released. Especially after the incident with Robbie being seen on TV at a TNA Impact show. Surprisingly, they are still here. Anyway, pretty good match between these two tag teams. I thought that was a pretty interesting way that JTG got into the ring. I'm not sure how to describe it but those of you who saw it, you'll know what I am talking about. If Cryme Tyme pulls off more moves like this, they'll definitely make their way to the top of my favorite tag teams!
I was absolutley interested to see what kind of challenge JBL was going to make to CM Punk. I was a little nervous to find out that it was a drinking contest. For a minute, I thought Punk was going to throw out his values and drink it but thankfully, CM Punk is a man of his word. No alcohol for this Straightedge Superstar! Good for you, Punk! He throws the alcohol in JBL's face. Haha JBL, that's what you get for trying to go up against the World Heavyweight Champion!
Earlier in the night Mike Adamle made a match between Kane and Chris Jericho. During the match, Mike Adamle made his way to the ring followed by security. This distracted Kane while Jericho hit him with the Codebreaker to win the match. Kane grabs the burlap bag and clings to it like a little baby trying to protect his little teddy bear, as Adamle enters the ring. Mike goes on to say that he knows what is in the bag and he knows who Kane's been talking about when he said "Is he alive, or is he dead?" Adamle said Kane has been talking about himself. Kane then reveals what has been in the bag. While most fans here on Fan Nation have been saying it was Kane's old mask, it turned out to be a mask...except it wasn't Kane's mask. It was Rey Mysterio's!!! I guess this explains Rey's absence.
William Regal went one-on-one with Jamie Noble. Regal had this psychotic look on his face when he was walking down the entrance ramp. He looked CRAZY! Anyway...little Jamie Noble put up a good fight against Regal but was unable to beat him.
Last match of the night had the new World Tag Team Champions Batista and John Cena versus Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase in a rematch. Cena and Batista still couldn't put their differences aside during this match and they lost the titles to Rhodes and DiBiase. I knew Batista and Cena wouldn't remain tag team champs for long. The show ended with security trying to keep Cena and Batista from attacking each other. Although it was pretty entertaining to watch this little scuffle between the two, it still doesn't make me care about their match at SummerSlam.
Six days to SummerSlam. Although it doesn't seem like a good pay-per-view all around, there are still a few matches I really want to see! Looking forward to those few...until next time....


I agree with you on cena he needs to take some time off and check that huge ego of his!!! Santino and the unibrow funny stuff!!!!! Cryme tyme rocks!!! Excellent blog!!!!
