WWE Monday Night Raw Discussion (September 5, 2011)

[PeepShow]

September 5, 2011

-- Monday's Labor Day edition of WWE Raw (a/k/a Raw Supershow) comes from Columbus, Ohio with no items advertised in-advance. The Raw brand is coming from a Sunday house show in Wheeling, W. Va. and the Smackdown brand is returning to the U.S. after completing a weekend tour in Paris, France.

-- WWE's official advertising for Raw focuses on the triangular feud between Triple H, Kevin Nash, and C.M. Punk. Punk was originally booked for a match against Nash at Night of Champions in two weeks, but the match is now Hunter vs. Punk.

WWE's advertisement reads: "With only two weeks left until Night of Champions, expect tensions to explode between an enraged Kevin Nash and rivals Triple H and C.M. Punk. To catch all the fireworks, watch the WWE Raw Supershow on USA Network."

-- WWE champion Alberto Del Rio is expected to return to Raw after missing last weekend's house show tour and last Monday's Raw due to visa issues. Del Rio defends the WWE Title against John Cena at Night of Champions.

-- Officially advertised from the Smackdown brand is Smackdown's Big Four of World Hvt. champion Randy Orton, Sheamus, Mark Henry, and Christian.

-- Also in-play will be new title matches set up/announced for the all-title-match PPV. WWE has yet to name opponents for new WWE tag champions Air Boom (Evan Bourne & Kofi Kingston), U.S. champion Dolph Ziggler, Intercontinental champion Cody Rhodes, and Divas champion Kelly Kelly.

Once again, Raw has me intrigued/excited. Over the past two months, I've felt I can't miss any show or I might miss something huge. Love that about the product atm.

CM Punk has quite simply been the focal point of the company for the past few months and I really don't see that changing any time soon... everything this guy is involved in is just beyond must see. I think how the titles are finally starting to get some emphasis on the show again and some of the mid card talent like Ziggler and others are finally starting to be given some decent time to shine. RAW is definitely on the up and up.

Nash threatening murder

 

[Luke Flywalker]

Nash seems a little more comfortable on the mic... Punk's still miles ahead of him though.

 

[Axis]

Punk absolutely buried Nash

 

[Luke Flywalker]

Nash text himself!

 

[Axis]

"I MADE THE WWE COOL AGAIN"

Wait, so Nash was sitting on the sideline, and just randomly hated Punk?
