Solid episode.

The opening segment struck me as strange. Almost as if they stuck to the original plan where Brock would have lost but Cena would have been assisted out of the building with a stretcher. HHH/Brock has the material to be a really good feud & should help Brock get his heat back. I expect to see him 'suspended' because of this which allows him to sit out of the B PPVs before bringing him back just in time for SummerSlam for the money match.

Never been a fan of The Beat The Clock Challenge, especially to determine a WWE contender. Last night's was probably the worst edition yet highlighted by the botch in the Jericho match. I also dislike seeing non-active wrestlers like Lawler compete, for the same reason as seeing them compete at the Rumble, it makes your company look silly. End result is good enough and I'm sure Punk/Bryan will make the most of having a Heavyweight Championship feud on PPV.

Bellas being Poochie'd was great.

Kofi & Truth as tag champions is a good move but it's a bit like who cares?

Enjoyed Eve in her new role which is surprising because I used to think she was plain terrible. The office look really suits her.

Cena/Lauranaitis is an interesting decision. There is a way that they could make this feud work but there's a ton of other ways where they can make it fail. They really need to stack the odds here & make it clear why Lauranaitis hates Cena & the lengths he'll go to beat him and what his victory would mean not only to him but the company. I just get the bad feeling this is going to close the PPV ahead of Bryan/Punk which would be a huge shame but honestly I'm just glad it's not Cena/Tensai on PPV.

yeah, not the time to have a cena/lauranaitis match. lauranaitis has to screw cena more times and then cena somehow gets a match with jl. not just jl saying, oh we have a match now.

Ideally that would be the way to go but the roster is in such bad shape that they need to hot-shot matches like these just to develop interest.

There are still enough interesting ways to make this feud interesting if they're willing to go in certain directions.

:lol: @ brock's weak ass Kimura.... a white belt would be able to teach them the escape to it...

i dont think i ever saw him go close to using a Kimura in his whole career... :lol:

why the f**k he doesn't use the arm triangle as his submission is beyond me... he's used it before... and with his huge arms its it looks devastating...

Because it looks like shit, he can't apply anywhere near that pressure, and the positioning is bad.

You want to see worked shoot style, go watch some Volk Han.

The roster is fine, they're only in bad shape thanks to creative.

you can apply it standing... modify it and give it the rock bottoms set up... its basically just an inverted million dollar dream...

surely he could use something other than a bloody Kimura... that has to be the most dull submission... it only looks good it you see a snap.

theres a heap of better subs he could have used... guillotine, darce choke, anaconda choke...

mind you... brock using a guillotine would probably look even more ridiculous than him doing a kimura.

All Brock has to do is steal Yuji Nagata seated armbar spot, apply it to the Kimura and it will get over huge.

Plus, arm injuries work well with the psychology of pro wrestling.

HUGE SPOILER!

Just watching RAW here in the States

And Paul HEYMAN has returned to WWE to be Brock Lesnar's Manager once again!

It was a nice surprise in an otherwise flat heel edition of Raw.

Bit under-utilised though. Hopefully it's more than just a one off but he was basically there to give a brief history lesson on Brock and then announce that he's leaving the WWE again.

I liked Laurinaitis' promo to open the show.

Sheamus vs ADR had little interest, so the fatal 4 way makes sense.

Paul Heyman comes back, which was a mark out moment, and it sounds like half the crowd didn't even know who he was. Pathetic, very f**king pathetic.

Still haven't got a DB/Punk promo going into their match, they better serve up something big for the go home show.

Can't believe they cut DB's entrance, yet we sat through Miz and Brodus Clay embarrass themselves. That really was an abortion of a match.

Bloom really did his best to get this horrible Tensai gimmick over tonight and then we get that botch, Punk really didn't help him out there.

Lauranaitis promo was the best part of the show. Wish they had of included him in the handicap match and had him pin Punk for major bragging rights & heat.

Was the wrong crowd for Heyman to return infront of but why does that matter? The segment really wasn't about him.
