WWE RAW 3rd September 2012 - LIVE Discussion

[Troy]

The Best in the World
CM Punk went to extreme lengths to get Jerry Lawler to say that he was the best in the world on RAW last week. In the end they had a match inside a steel cage and Punk continued to assualt King even after the victory until Cena made the save. Punk continues to demand respect yet it still hasn't been forthcoming even though he is now closing in on a 300 day title reign. Will Lawler have something to say about Punk's attack last week? Who will CM Punk target next?

Anger Management
Due to his apparent anger issues RAW General Manager AJ made Daniel Bryan attend anger management sessions. They started last week but thankfully for Daniel Bryan he didn't have to do it alone as Kane tagged along to the sessions as well. This week they will again attend anger management and will have to present their anger collages. Will both be able to keep their anger under control for another week? Keep an eye out for Scorpio Sky as Harold as well.

Game Over?
Last week on RAW it was a HHH lovefest and the show was filled with video packages highlighting all that HHH has done in his storied career. HHH then addressed the crowd and couldn't give a clear answer on whether or not he was retiring. When will we see the game next?

Sin Cara, Rey Mysterio and a common enemy
Last year Cody Rhodes and Rey Mysterio had a long feud based on the fact that Mysterio wears a mask. Cody Rhodes and Mysterio eventually moved on from each other but now Cody is attacking another mask wearing individual in Sin Cara. Could we see a partnership formed by Sin Cara and Mysterio to ward off Cody Rhodes?

Tune in for all this and a lot more on RAW this week. Join in the fun and discuss the show as it happens with other WS members​

I am hoping Sin Cara & Rey team to face Sandow & Rhodes. It would make a good storyline and could progress as something good for the both.

HHH - Do not care for at all to be honest. He won't quit the company at all.

Anger management needs to be the main focus this week if RAW wants to be good, hilarious stuff there.

CM Punk is another interesting one, I believe he'll attack someone backstage and have Cena to cut a promo or something. I want to see promos happening or a tag match for the main event something like Cena/Kane vs. CM/Bryan

 

[Deezy]

All I'm hoping for is a well thought out show where they space out segments that don't leave people like me wanting to see what else is on.

 

[Dod Draper]

MORE HHH retirement conjecture. When will it end?

 

[PHX]

Mostly looking forward to see what they do with the Punk/Cena feud and how Punk will act with in his hometown.

That's entirely too much to ask for

I'm mainly interested in what they do with Punk in his hometown because he'll surely get a great reaction, and also the Anger Management skits should be hilarious. More Harold! Also hoping for at least a couple decent-good matches because in-ring wise, last week wasn't good at all.

 

[Troy]

I hope that they cut back on the comedy this week, last week it was just too much and there weren't enough serious wrestling segments. The anger management segments were great but other than that there wasn't really any need for that over the top kid friendly comedy. Last week they also cut the matches too short, I wouldn't mind seeing some longer matches especially from the midcarders. It shouldn't be too much to ask to get some decent length matches in a three hour show. Will be good seeing Punk in his hometown to see what WWE have planned for him.

 

[Lewb]

Yeah, I hope they only comedy segments this week are the Anger Management ones. Chances are Lawler won't be on commentary, selling the beating he had last week... which is never a bad thing. Rey and Sin Cara against Kofi and Truth at NOC anyone? Maybe add PTP and Rhodes/Sandow for a fourway elim? That I'd like to see. I'm hopeful this week... because last week was pretty darn dire.

 

[Troy]

I have a feeling that Lawler will show up and cut a promo on Punk to start the show. It would make sense if he was away for a week to sell the injuries but I think that WWE will have him appear.

I would like to see a three of four way tag team match at Night of Champions. They have a few really solid teams and it would be a good way to promote the division again. Adding Rey and Sin Cara to the mix would be really good.

 

[AZUCAR!]

We've heard from several readers that Paul Heyman was spotted in the Chicago area today, so it looks like he'll be appearing on Raw tonight.

 

[zigglerHEEL]

aside from the obvious stuff (Punk/Cena, Anger management, Lawler, and more HHH nonsense) I hope they really devote some time to building for other NOC feuds/matches..... and I really like the idea from above of a Cara/Rey vs. Sandow/Rhodes match-feud-spot-whatever.

 

[John McHenry]

I just want the matches to make sense this week.

 

[Andrew]

Anger Management has 3 segments tonight, I hope they are all 10 minutes each.

 

[John McHenry]

Sweet Raw opens with Lawler recap Im not sure why this is a big deal Why make Cena Punk about Lawler is it really that necessary?

 

[Dod Draper]

These video packages are so over dramatic sometimes.
