So Rey vs. John any surprises here or we just going to have a straight up match? They just say HHH was going to be on Smackdown after they made a big deal to the stockholders about HHH being a Chairman of Raw and implying Vince is still chairman of smackdown.

When did they do that? From last week's RAW I thought it was pretty clear that HHH is taking over everything. Do the stockholders not understand that this is a storyline?

Kinda random, but I was excited to hear Miz announce he'd be on George Lopez Tonight this week. I thought he was entertaining the last time he made an appearance on the show, as well as during his appearance on Conan. Should be some good television for those of you that watch the program.

Anybody else kinda wish JR wasn't back. He fucks up to much and what happens during his next balsy attack don't mind his one offs but a full return?

That's a bit dramatic. Same thing happened with Miz last year if you'll recall and he was in the WWE Title match at the top of the show. His credibility survived, as will Alberto's.

Anyhoo, great Raw in my opinion. I'm glad Ziggler faced someone not named Kofi Kingston, though I'm afraid that's what's in store for Summerslam. I'm enjoying Triple H in his new role, a lot of refreshing stuff. The Divas match was still a botchfest but it was at least watchable, Rey's competing twice for the second week in a row, plus we've got another new champion(too bad it won't last), Morrison and JR are back, and he had an entertaining back and forth with R-Truth. Really hope Michael Cole gets relegated to solely calling Smackdown.

I'm probably one of the few that actually found the Keith Stone segment amusing. I figured Cole would've faced Alex Riley based on the silhouette on the graphic and the somewhat storyline that's there, but I'm very excited that they went with Ryder instead. Short match but I'm happy about that too, I was afraid we'd have the same stalling and b.s.'ing we've seen in other Michael Cole matches.

It has been a good RAW so far. Some new feuds have been created and one restarted (Morrison/Truth). It is good seeing Ziggler and Kingston facing other opponents and I hope that they don't wrestle again at SummerSlam. They should both be on the card but in different matches. It was good seeing a very short Cole match rather than his normal crap.

I would hate to see Rey lose today. I don't see Cena losing in a clean way. I'm guessing this will be a dirty finish as well, but Rey losing is possible.

I don't think this is a one off return, JR will be back till WM now.

Next week on RAW there will be a Battle Royale to determine the number one contender to the Diva's title. All 13 Divas from both brands will be in the match.

I agree. I don't want Mysterio to lose the title the same day he won it. Let Mysterio carry the title into SummerSlam.

The first WWE title match was very good earlier in the night so hopefully this can be of the same quality.

Rey doing low kicks and Cena isn't impressed at all. Wow Cena is selling all this?!

Oh wait, wristlock time.

Nice roll-up by Mysterio.

Very slow start to this match. Expecting a run in or two or a distraction. This won't be a standard one on one match.

Dueling chants for Cena.

Waiting for a 619 chant for Rey.
