WWE RAW 30th September 2013 - LIVE Discussion - End Of The Rhodes?

[Dale]

Fork in the Rhodes
The McMahon-Rhodes rivalry continued to heat up last week when Cody Rhodes and Goldust hopped the barricade in street clothes and got a few shots in on The Shield, Triple H’s chosen opponents for Daniel Bryan and the rest of the locker room, moments before the first 11-on-3 Handicap Elimination Match in Raw history. The Rhodes boys’ efforts helped chip away at The Hounds of Justice’s defenses and contributed to their defeat, and now they’ve accepted an offer from The King of Kings for a sit-down this Monday night. What turn will the family drama take?

¡OLÉ!
You’ve waited, you’ve anticipated, and now, Los Matadores are finally making their arrival in WWE. Little is known about the identities or motivations of the mythical masked men, but in a tag team division rife with competition, the field is wide open for these newcomers to make an immediate impact. One can only hope the mysterious matadors give the WWE Universe a performance they will never soon forget.

Snakebit
Randy Orton seems to have taken Stephanie McMahon’s demands to heart from a few weeks ago: Commanded to unleash his remorseless side, The Apex Predator has complied by beating both The Miz and Rob Van Dam to within an inch of the injured reserve list. Such aggression hasn’t been seen from the former WWE Champion in some time; can fellow contender to the vacant title, Daniel Bryan, withstand Orton at his most brutally efficient?

Running the Show
With each passing week, Big Show continues to sink further and further into the subservience of the McMahon family. At this point, The World’s Largest Athlete has been reduced Stephanie McMahon’s personal knockout machine, socking anyone who looks at the queen bee the wrong way. But every Superstar – every man, really – has a breaking point. How long and how hard can the corporate power continue to push the giant until he snaps?

Those who do not remember history …
… Are doomed to repeat it. Case in point, CM Punk willingly let himself be drawn into the open for a free opportunity to punish Paul Heyman, believing he could withstand the inevitable sneak attack by Ryback and Curtis Axel. He was, of course, woefully mistaken, as The Human Wrecking Ball sent Punk for an ugly trip through a table before The Second City Saint’s hometown crowd. We know now that Punk will meet Ryback at WWE Battleground, but can the former WWE Champion keep his animosity in check until then? Or will he be goaded into another ambush? Tune in this Monday at 8/7 CT on USA Network to find out!

Didn't realise this was the go home RAW for Battleground, shit has come around so quick.

DISCUSS!

Once again I'll be missing out due to work. But I will watch it on TV, I look forward to the Rhodes storyline the most.

Hopefully Los Matadores don't disappoint.

 

[Gimmick]

BREAKING BAD! Wait, wrong thread...

Didn't realise it was the go home show either. Has there even been many matches announced yet? They've done a pretty poor job of hyping up the whole PPV.

Looking forward to seeing what they do with the Rhodes. They've been a great part of this entire storyline.

inb4 'Orton's gonna punt someone tonight'.

But seriously if this is the last show before Battlegrounds then I better watch it; I haven't been following RAW for the past couple of weeks and I can't let my Predictions score drop down further. That said I can't wait to see how they're going to book Rhodes Family at Battlegrounds, and Big Show as well. CM Punk has been impressing me though lately so I really can't wait to see another Punk Promo; hopefully Heyman will be involved as well.

 

[Chris]

GOLDUST GONNA OWN EVERYONE

 

[Crippler]

Looking forward to Miz getting owned on the mic again the most.

REIGNS! to spear 2/3 Rhodes family and jobbers just to make me happy please.

 

[Andrew]

I'll be on to watch this.

I agree, more Miz beatdown and bury the shit out of him.

 

[John McHenry]

Really only looking forward to Rhodes thing. Perhaps a change up to the DB angle.

 

[Crippler]

Well here's to hoping for a great go-home show

 

[John McHenry]

Bit of an odd opening compared to late.

 

[Crippler]

Best since day one shit that's cute

 

[Andrew]

CM Punk opening up.

NO replay video like usual.

 

[Chris]

Kinda' surprised they're having Punk open the show.

 

[Andrew]

That's a sick t-shirt.

 

[Crippler]

why does Punk's t-shirt have him catching arrows?
