WWE RAW 7th November 2011 - LIVE Discussion

[Troy]

​

Last week was a big show with The Muppets hosting and The Rock gave his reply to Cena saying that he would indeed team with Cena at Survivor Series but not because Cena asked him because the people want him to do it. Next week will be another big show with The Rock returning on a three hour RAW but this week we will see Cena having to fend off Miz and Truth again. Last week to end the show Cena managed to fight off both wrestlers and showed that he doesn't really need Rock's help at SS.

CM Punk vs. Del Rio for the WWE title was confirmed last week so we should see more interaction between those two this week.

Zack Ryder defeated Dolph Ziggler in a non-title match last week so Ryder may get a title match this week on RAW.

With Evan Bourne suspended and Air Boom still holding the titles we should find out the plans for Kofi in the next month. Will someone else be teaming with him or will he work on his own for the next month?

The Michael Cole challenge for JR was postponed last week so unfortunately that means Cole will bring it up again this week.

With only two more RAWs before Survivor Series expect more matches to be announced for the PPV. Hopefully at least one of them is a RAW traditional SS elimination match.

What matches do you think will be announced for SS? What will WWE do with Kofi and the tag team titles now that Bourne is suspended? Will the Cole challenge happen this week? What else do you think will happen this week on RAW?

Join in the fun and post in this thread before, during and after RAW giving your thoughts on the show. Normally this is a lot of fun with 400+ posts a show so I can't wait to see what happens this week with more members online for the show.​

I see a Pick Your Poison kinda thing happening. CM picks Del Rio's opponent vice versa, they need to do that.

I hope Ryder gets a shot and wins, this way ZigSwag can be tag champs.

Cole/JR needs to open the show, get it over and done with.

I expect a 3 on 3 tag with Christian and Barrett involved leading to a team of some sort.

I believe Kofi will face Swagger in some weird stip if Swagger wins, he gets the tag belts or something. With Bourne suspended I see them doing it somehow.

To make up for last week they'll probably have Miz and Truth beat down Cena pretty good or at least that is what they need to do. As for Punk/Del Rio I'm hoping they have him fuck with Del Rio the whole show. Mess with his car, mess with Ricardo, maybe take the belt stuff like that. Punk pretty much has to carry the build in terms of the mic so that's mostly what I'm looking forward to as far as that goes.

Repeat Kofi Kingston Route 2009.

I am also hoping that Miz and Truth will get the better of Cena on this show. Last week Cena easily took care of the two of them so they need to set it up where The Rock can make the big save not this week but next week on RAW to even things up.

I like the idea of Pick Your Poison for Punk and Del Rio.

With Air Boom I hope that they simply include him in a SS match where it doesn't matter than he is the only tag team champion around at the moment. WWE can explain Bourne's absence with an injury angle.

Hopefully Cole only takes up a minute or two. I hate that angle and I want it to end as quickly as possible.

 

[PHX]

I almost forgot about that Micheal Cole Challenge deal. Only thing I'm looking forward to in that is the chance that Cole could get off commentary and JR replaces him.

Repeat Kofi Kingston Route 2009.

Somewhat just would be much better I imagine.

 

[Andrew]

I agree, if it's Punk...

I want it to happen.

 

[Andrew]

Even better would have Punk steal his car and drive it around the parking lot or something.

Hell, even if he drove to the arena while someone was filming him driving his car back to the arena leading to a brawl in the ring.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

That was Kofi's shining moment so I'd say Punk would have a hard time making a better segment out of it.

I'd rather CM Punk screwed with Johnny Ace all night.

 

[Troy]

Hopefully Johnny Ace doesn't have too many segments. I am sure that he will try to screw Punk out of his title shot and will probably book him against a monster.

I am pretty sure that this is the week that Brodus Clay returns as well so maybe they could even put Brodus against Punk in his return match.

 

[Andrew]

Could work actually. I'd want Brodus going over in his return

BTW, ALL AUSTRALIANS RAW BEGINS 11AM AEDT. NOT 12 ANYMORE

 

[Troy]

Brodus wouldn't win clean but he could get DQed after beating Punk up with the help of Del Rio. They can hint at the Del Rio/Brodus partnership that started on NXT and that was ended last year after they ended up on different brands.

 

[Andrew]

Could work but I prefer Brodus alone.

 

[Troy]

I do want him to work as a singles wrestler but it would make sense if he was booked against Punk to help his former employer get the advantage at SS. He doesn't have to team with Del Rio he would simply be matched up against Punk by Johnny Ace as a favour to Del Rio.

Don't forget this show is being taped in England so you might wanna check the spoilers out once they're done because all UK tapings are usually garbage.
