RAW 25th of October - LIVE Discussion Thread

[Troy]

​

WWE Raw will be taped ion Green Bay, Wisconsin tonight. No matches have been announced, although we should expect fallout from last night's WWE title bout between Randy Orton and Wade Barrett, as well as John Cena's involvement in the finish.

Country star Toby Keith, who has made appearances for TNA in the past, is billed as the "guest star" for the show.

The show should revolve around Nexus. John Cena and David Otunga won the tag team titles for the group last night. Barrett won his match by DQ thanks to Cena attacking him when Orton was setting up the RKO on Barrett. So Cena kept his part of the bargain but obviously Barrett won't be completely satisfied.

What do you think will happen tonight?

Quick Results:

- Justin Gabriel & Heath Slater def John Cena & David Otunga to win the WWE tag team titles after Wade Barrett forced Otunga to lay down and be pinned.
- Daniel Bryan def Dolph Ziggler CM Punk watched from ringside and was on commentary.
- LayCool def Melina & Gail Kim
- The Miz challenged Rey Mysterio to turn up to RAW next week
- The Miz def R-Truth
- Santino def Sheamus with some help from John Morrison
- Pee-wee Herman is Guest Star next week
- Husky Harris and Michael McGillicuty are now Nexus members
- John Cena def Randy Orton by DQ after Barrett attacked him. This made Cena the special guest referee for Survivor Series in a title match between Orton and Barrett. Barrett added that if he wins the WWE Title at Survivor Series, Cena is free from The Nexus. However, if he does not win the championship, Cena will be fired.

Matches announced for Survivor Series:
WWE Championship No DQ's No Count-Out's match: Randy Orton (c) vs. Wade Barrett with Cena as the Special Guest Referee

The show was all about Nexus and that is a good thing. The show focused on promoting storylines which is how it should be. Loved that Otunga was made to lay down for Gabriel and Slater so they could win the titles. Good that Harris and McGillicuty were added to the group right before Survivor Series. Now Gabriel, Slater, Otunga, Harris and McGillicuty can be in a 5 vs. 5 vs. 5 match against RAW and Smackdown. I like the continuation with the mainevent how Barrett attacked Cena to let him win whereas the night before it was the other way around. The finish was interesting with Cena fired it Barrett doesn't win the title and Cena free to leave Nexus if he does. Too soon for that stipulation.

Daniel Bryan vs CM Punk is something that I could get into. Miz vs Mysterio may be a way to set up a match at Survivor Series between them or they may be captains of their own 5 man teams.
