I think Cena loses the briefcase seeing it was offically cashed in and Show just fucked him over.

Cena can always get his shot again the proper way.

So many swerves on RAW, that's what's up!

Every Summer is a Summer of Punk.

That said, I know they're sending Punk in a heelish direction but his DWAYNE promos will be even better now that in-universe Rock just got handed a title shot for showing up once in 4 months.

Thanks for the 15 minutes of wrestling in a 3 hour show, WWE. It was a fun show but that wasn't wrestling.

Yeah, very unexpected and I did not see that coming. Excellent from WWE Creative and it looks like Punk is involved in the "big Summer angle" two years in a row. But is this really that major like Nexus or Summer of Punk?

But I do sort of feel kind of let down considering the hype and everything else, does anyone else?

And man, no Austin. :( :( What the fuck? I'll say it again. It isn't RAW without Austin..

Strange ending that I didn't expect.What is the deal with the briefcase does Cena lose it or will he get another shot?
Teddy has given the case back before. But we are dealing with AJ

No Austin which has to be a shock. The twist at the end saved the main event from being pointless.

I'm going to go ahead and tell you what WWE would say.

Dear Mr. Kif

That's Entertainment

Sincerely
Unnamed WWE Exec (probably Ace)

I don't think Cena will be given the case back, but I do expect Punk vs Cena vs Show at SummerSlam considering the ending. Punk would have to win though.

Disappointment is the last thing I feel right now it was pretty damn awesome and out of no where.

I assume that they will use this finish to set up another match between them at SummerSlam.

Really really odd that there was no Austin on the show.

They didn't really need Austin on the show.

Most of the legends were part of storyline stuff.

Overall RAW was fucking epic. WWE Creative really stepped up for this one, how long will it last that's the question.

If WWE want to bring prestige back to the WWE Title and make Punk an even bigger star than he is and have this whole situation that ended RAW tonight work. DO NOT make him drop the title. I say let him hold it until the end of the year.

Also, when the last time a WWE Champion held the title for more than 400 days? It was a long time ago back in February 1988, when Hulk Hogans 1,474 day reign as WWE Champion ended when Andre The Giant defeated him. Punk is at 247 days.

Punk would and should make history.

The Summer Angle will feature Punk, but it won't be only him as last year. I think he'll be involved with Heyman/Lesnar. They'll all be the big angle. WWE was simply setting everything up for next week's episode, that's where shit will get real.

Andrew was the MVP for this thread btw.
