So this weeks Raw Supershow opens with an awesome promo from Kane, addressing the crowd and really embracing his new Heel 'creature from hell' character. He taunts Cena and continues to tell him to embrace hate. He is interupted by the leader of Cenation and attacked, they take the fight to the backstage area and throughout the arena. The brawl ends in a stalemate with neither man coming out on top. Sheamus & Santino Marella def. Wade Barrett & Jinder Mahal
On SmackDown, Barrett and Jinder Mahal teamed up and attacked Sheamus. Sheamus and Santino joined forces to seek some payback and delivered some great team work and it's always great to watch the ever entertaining Santino. This match is pretty short loved, after Mahal and little effort from Wade Barrett wore down Santino. The Celtic Warrior comes in off a hot tag and delivers The Brogh Kick to Mahal before tagging in Santino to end te match with The Cobra.
Next a short promo where it is revealed that Brodus Clay will finally make his debut. Promo has The Miz, Johnny Ace and David Otunga. Oh and his coffee cup complete with annoying sip noise.
Finally! We find out the first inductee into the WWE Hall Of Fame 2012 and it's none other than The Rated R Superstar. Personally, I think it's a great time to induct Edge. His retirement is still fresh in our minds and he still has that charisma to stand up and work the crowd on the night. Congratulations to Edge and I look forward to seeing who will induct him. Who do you think will induct him? Comment below or send us a tweet.
The Miz's hunt for protection continues but he's rejected by Mason Ryan...
Zack Ryder sporting a new Broski head band and Iphone cover reveals that he's scared of Kane, until Eve Torres arrives and he asks her out on a date. One thing I was very fond of in the Attitude Era were the on screen romances between talents, and this has the potential for a great one. Two rising stars who can play off of each other well and help develop stories in the meantime. Oh by the way Kane was in the closet... No jokes here.
World Heavyweight Champion Daniel Bryan def. Kofi Kingston (Non-Title Match)
So apparently today Kofi Kingston 'questioned the way' in which Daniel Bryan defeated The Big Show. In response, Bryan challenged Kofi to a match on Raw. When they met in the ring, the two battled back and forth, but it was the World Champion who won after catching Kingston in the LeBell Lock. As Bryan celebrated, Big Show came to the ring to have a word with the champion.
Daniel Bryan offered Big Show another opportunity for the World Title at any time. The Big Show then revealed that SmackDown General Manager Teddy Long granted Big Show a No Disqualification, No Count-out World Title rematch on SmackDown this coming Friday.
Brodus Clay def. Curt Hawkins
After weeks of anticipation, Brodus Clay finally made his Raw debut against Curt Hawkins. I had high hopes for this match because I generally find Curt Hawkins entertaining. Unfortunately he was merely used as a jobber for the returning Funkasauras. Personally I think I could grow to love this gimmick or at least love to hate it! It was very reminiscent of Rikishi from his days in 2Cool and no one ever complained about that. Anyone who doesn't like the Funkasauras doesn't like fun! Oh the match was over in a minute seeing Brodus Clay dominate. SOMEBODY CALL MY MOMMA!
Another promo from Zack Ryder, this time he brushes his teeth and talks to himself in the mirror. I'm loving these short promos WWE are producing. Post your thoughts in the comments or send us a tweet.
The Miz's hunt for protection takes him to Primo and Epico... I miss R-Truth following Miz around.
WWE Champion CM Punk def. Jack Swagger
At the Royal Rumble CM Punk will defend the WWE Championship against Dolph Ziggler with John Laurinaitis as the Special Guest Referee. John Laurinaitis comes to ringside and announces that if Punk wins Vickie and Swagger are banned from ringside.
With this extra bit of motivation, Punk battled the former World Heavyweight Champion with increased effort. But Jack Swagger is a great competitor and used his technical background to try and maintain an advantage over Punk. Pun hits a Macho Man Esq flying elbow drop and the referee made an errant three-count that allowed CM Punk to secure the victory. This means Jack Swagger and Vickie Guerrero are banned from ringside of the WWE Title Match at Royal Rumble.
Was this ending panned or did the ref make a genuine error? Looked to me like Punk had a few words to say to the ref when the error was made. What do you think?
Another Zack Ryder promo... Growing bored of him slightly but as I've previously stated I do love the new promos.
The Miz orders Ricardo Rodriguez to go to the ring and call out R-Truth. This is the first I'm seeing of Ricardo in a promo and he's pretty average... But i wasn't expecting any more.
Next we learn that The Four Horsemen will be inducted into the HOF 2012. Now this is a little before my time but I'm hearing generally positive reactions to this. Will this ruffle feathers with Flair being in TNA? Will people tune in to TNA to see Flair again? Comment or Tweet.
Ricardo Rodriguez is in the ring calling out R-Truth and R-Truth asks him to sing him and Little Jimmy a song, or he'll get got. Alberto Del Rio's personal ring announcer tried to avoid a confrontation by signing "La Cucaracha." However, when he slapped a microphone out of R-Truth's hand he got the physical confrontation he hoped to avoid. But before R-Truth could leave the ring, The Miz attacked from the crowd but as soon as the tide turned on The Miz he fled the same way he came.
WELCOME TO RAW! IS! JERICHO! Nope... Not even a hello from Y2J, just a few tears and screams. Personally I love the way they're building him up. I would however like a hint at a potential rival? Thoughts on Y2J's return?
Eve made her way to the ring ready to take on Diva's champion Beth Pheonix... But when we are supposed to hear the Glamazons music we hear that of The Big Red Monster instead. Eve is frozen in fear and Zack Ryder soon comes to the aid of the Diva. However, when they go to escape in Ryder's car it miraculously has a flat tire. This promo reminds me of the Ministry Of Darkness type era. I hope to see more of these in the future!
Dolph Ziggler def. John Cena by Count-out
Ziggler used his pace and technical background to show-off and keep Cena from building momentum early in the match. However, as Cena got on top of Ziggler, the TitanTron showed Kane attacking Zack Ryder in front of a screaming Eve. As soon as he was free of Ziggler's attempts at a sleeper hold, Cena ran to help his ally afterhei choke slamed off of a ledge onto wooden pallets. As he ran to aid the US Champion, Cena was attacked by Kane, whic caused Ziggler to win by count-out. As Cena meets Kane in the lading bay The Big Red Monster chokes out John Cena and Raw ends with a close up of a new Kane...
Personally I loved this weeks Raw as you can tell... Tweet or comment your thoughts!
Thanks for reading and stay tuned for Smackdown Results at the end of the week!
