Hey guys and welcome to my Raw review, last night was the 849th episode of WWE Raw and it aired live from Detroit MI, and i have to say i actually liked the show once again as i thought we got  decent shock value at the end and we also got some good wrestling matches last night, anyways lets have a run down on last nights edition.

I enjoyed the opening with the special guest host the one and only American Dream Dusty Rhodes, Dusty received a great reception from the crowd and he cut his promo very well, i was actually intrigued with his announcment that his son Cody Rhodes would take on Randy Orton for the WWE Title with John Cena as the special referee, i for one was very much looking foward to this match as i thought we could see a surprising upset, so in all fairness i definetly didnt see what we saw at the end of the show coming, good opening segment that got the fans and viewers interested in the main event of the show.

I was delighted to see the WWE Divas being given good amounts of in ring time last night, the diva battle royal was good i enjoyed Gail Kim's and Jillian Hall's contributions to the match, however this battle royal was for one thing and one thing only and it was to get Beth Phoenix who has been used very sparingly by creative recently the chance to build up her Glamazon character and to get the fans into her again and for me it worked, she went on to win the battle royal and go on to have a very good divas title match with Mickie James later on in the show, Mickie obviously got the win but for me this was a segment to get Beth Phoenix going again and i have no problem with that.

Chris Jericho defeated MVP in a very good match up last night, these two for me clicked so well in their match and i only wished we could have seen these two go at it a little longer as i believe that would also have the makings of a good one on one feud, however they are on seperate shows so it wont happen anytime soon, Jericho got the pin and i am glad that happened as Jericho i dont think has won a one on one match for a month or so, so it was good to let him get the clean victory.

Once again i loved the DX comedy/plugging sketches backstage last night, the plugging of the Rise and fall of WCW dvd and the new DX Dvd for me just rocked, the sketches are so corny but hilarious and HBK and Triple H for me are doing a great job here and are bringing so much to Raw and i have actually missed DX so i am so happy they are back, i am just wondering what the plans for DX will be at Breaking Point though?, something tells me the only route WWE can go down is a return match with Legacy, but we will see.

Mark Henry and Big Show was ok nothing special but they tried their best, nothing much else i can really say about this apart from it continued the feud over the unified tag titles, its great to finally see the tag titles being made important every month now, these are respected titles and they are finally being shown the respect they deserve.

Now i have to say i am absolutely disguested at the way WWE management are treating Chavo Guerrero, for the last 7 or 8 shows we have see this superstar who comes from a proud wrestling family job to Hornswoggle, for me it is a disgrace and Chavo deserves better, he is a talented individual who is being used terribly, i really do hope he can move on from this Hornswoggle nonsense and go on and have a good feud with Evan Bourne, it is pretty obvious that Chavo will job to Bourne also but i really do believe creative should help Chavo out, i would receommend Chavo do a worked shoot interview telling everyone he is sick and tired about the way he is being used, i would love to see that.

A fantastic fatal 4 way match for the US Title last night, its good to see Kofi Kingston getting a good win under his belt to continue his strong reign as US Champion, i enjoy all 4 guys who were in this match and its good to see the US Title getting good publicity, i hope they go down the route at Breaking Point and have another 4 way at the PPV, i also believe Kofi's reign will come to an end at the PPV with either Jack Swagger or The Miz becoming the new champion.

Now onto the main event i was looking foward to it all night, but i looked at my clock and it was 3.58am here in the UK before all the competitors were in the ring, so i said to myself Raw generally goes of at 4.04 am so if we are going to see a match its gonna be a quick one lol, but as the clock was ticking i was still expecting a match and then i was shocked when Dusty Rhodes turned heel for a few minutes, he helped his son and the rest of Legacy take out John Cena, i did not see that happening at all, DX then made the save but the American Dream then took out the game with his cowboy boot and HBK received the crossroads, overall a tremedous and shocking segment, and the end made great sense as well, Orton turned on Dusty Rhodes and he hit him with an RKO, the look on Cody's face was, wot do i do?, do i hit Orton? do i leave my Dad lying their?, their is so much questions to be answered here as to where this is going with Legacy and Orton, with the face reactions Cody Rhodes received last night and with the upcoming face turn of Ted Dibiase to promote his new movie, i see a Legacy face turn on the way and the possible conclusion of them helping John Cena make Randy Orton tap out at WWE Breaking Point.

Overall i thought Raw delivered very strongly last night and i would give it a good 7.5/10, i enjoyed the show.

As always i would like your thoughts on this blog.

UNTIL NEXT TIME

The Chosen One
