Watch pretty much everything. It was all worthwhile tonight.
Against my better judgement, I watched the show this morning. Here's what I found "worthwhile"....

- Two weeks ago, Cena had to fight Ambrose for the right to face Rollins. He loses that match, but it's cool because he gets a chance to fight him this week with no questions asked. I guess that makes sense on some planet.
- Steph tempts Cena with a spot in the Authority, because hey, why not? They just made a deal with Lesnar to prevent Cena from being champ but now they want Cena to beat Lesnar. Am I missing something here?
- Roman Reigns will henceforth be referred to as Juggernaut. I wish he'd wear the outfit too, it would make me more interested in him. Speaking of that, it would probably be for the best if they didn't do these interviews with him. We get it, you want him to be the next big thing, stop forcing it on us already.
- I know Henry/Show were out there to do the turn angle but why did they have a tag title match out of nowhere?
- Cesaro should have kept his mouth shut on that radio show last week when he said he was tired of watching Orton vs. Cena. How else can you explain losing two falls in a row to Ziggler at the PPV and then getting the shit kicked out of him by Ambrose? There was nobody else back there for Ambrose to beat up? Good lord.

Is that a record for stupidity in a single Raw? It's got to be up there. They really just don't have a clue anymore.

Now, just to show you I'm not a bad guy and only want to complain, I do have a couple of positive things to say about the show. Ryback returning was great and can hopefully freshen things up a bit. The other is that I didn't have to watch commercials.

In all fairness, the Ambrose/Cena match was to face Rollins inside HIAC. A singles match with inevitable Authority interference is a bit of a sympathy prize.

It’s going to be merry on Merseyside tonight!

That’s because WWE’s flagship show Raw will be broadcast from Liverpool’s Echo Arena – and the fans in attendance will be in for an absolute treat.

In a true powerhouse battle, John Cena will square off with Ryback, the bulldozer from Sin City who has been unstoppable since his return from hernia surgery in late October.

The heavyweight contest could have major Survivor Series implications, too, with The Authority seemingly keen to recruit Ryback for their five-on-five clash with Team Cena in St Louis.

Will a comprehensive victory for The Big Guy in Britain lead to him securing a place in The Authority’s squad? And how will Cena look to combat such a dangerous opponent?

Sky Sports 2 at 1am is the place to be to find out…

Kane and Seth Rollins are confirmed members of Team Authority, while Dolph Ziggler will compete for Team Cena, but with three spots on each side still up for grabs, could more grapplers be announced on Raw?

Authority head honchos Triple H and Stephane McMahon have not only sent out feelers to Ryback but also to new United States Champion Rusev and a fired-up World Strongest Man, Mark Henry.

So will those two behemoths say yes to the powerbrokers – and who will throw their hat into the ring for a Team Cena berth?

With AJ Lee and Dean Ambrose likely to seek revenge on Nikki Bella and Bray Wyatt respectively for their physical and/or mental attacks last week, Monday Night Raw is not to be missed.
Anyone gonna be here? I can't be unfortunately due to having school tomorrow.

All I know us Rollins, Kane, Rusev, Mark Henry, and Even Luke Harper is a very strong And imposing team.

Still not sure Ryback ends up on Team Cena.

I'm assuming after Raw we're getting Cena/Brock IV then? Because they didn't stick Cena with Big Show (thank Christ....) and Rollins has got the impending Orton feud to deal with. Plus, they don't really need Brock to work the rumble as that'll sell itself.

I wonder who gets THE DREADED CHAIRS MATCH this year?

Cyber Monday! OH BOY! So yeah the damn computer is back for the night, whoopie! I remember when I use to have that sound on my phone just to mess with people but dang I really don't want to see it back but if we got to have it oh well I guess. The New Day will be on Raw! Which should be awesome(I didn't watch Smackdown so I've yet to see them.) We're very likely see some stuff with the Bella's and AJ again, as well as maybe this Ziggler push train keep moving along? Raw hopefully is good and HEY! this week I won't end up having to help someone move so I'll be here for it!
