Last Week, in one of the most INCREDIBLE moments in RAW history, CM Punk cashed in the MITB to win the World Heavyweight Championship, and he beat JBL later in the night. Now where are on the road to The Great American Bash, and Punk has no opponent. Will we find out his opponent tonight? READ ON!
Stephanie Mcmahon (W/Love for anal) says something to the fans, but I'm too busy trying to come up with something mildly funny (And thus, anal loving) to care.
We start the show and Vickie Guerrero is in the ring. She is here to protest CM Punk's win over Edge last week, and she DEMANDS an apology.
CM Punk comes out and pretty much rubs the title in Vickie's Leatherface like... face (From the department of redundancy department). Punk says that he didn't do anything that Edge hasn't done in the past. Punk understands that Vickie is upset, but he tells her that there's plenty of fish in the SD sea.. Like The Great Khali! Vickie gets up and slaps Punk. Punk decides to wheel Vickie out of the arena, until.
JBL interrupts. Bradshaw challenges Punk to another title match, but Punk reminds him that he had his shot last week and lost. JBL gets pissed and says he only lost because of one man... JOHN CENA
The John comes out and congratulates Punk. He suggests Cena vs JBL for tonight, with the winner facing Punk at the Bash. Someone, does NOT approve.
BATISTA now makes his way to the ring, to remind Punk that he helped out a bit in giving him the title win last week. A triple threat is proposed and everyone accepts. Now Kane comes out, and he says he wants in. Punk makes it a Fatal Four-Way (Because he can now make matches?) with the winner facing him at the Great American Bash.
COMMERCIAL!!!
We are back and it is time for Rey Mysterio's RAW debut, as he takes on Santino Marella!
Rey Mysterio vs Santino Marella
Let's get this out of the way. Rey isn't fat, he's short (There is a difference). Rey starts off like a house of fire (Jeff Hardy's house of fire, m i rite?) and hits a Spinning Headscissors. Santino blocks a Hurrancanrana attempt, and takes over on offense. Rey ducks a right by Santino, knocks him down and hits a Double Stomp. Springboard Senton, 619, and a No-Hand Splash later, and this one is over!
Winner:Rey Mysterio
Backstage, CM Punk is being interviewed by Todd Grisham, when a stage lights falls off (Stage Light 6 wants a title shot). Snitsky comes in and claims (that it wasn't his fault >_>) he didn't get a title last year when he was drafted. Punk suggests that they settle it in the ring.
Back-Backstage, John Cena talks with Mickie, Kelly randomly shows up on RAW (What brand extension?)
COMMERCIAL!!!
Mickie James and Kelly vs Jillian and Layla
This was short and a tad boring. It was mostly about highlighting Kelly in the ring. To be fair, she's improved a LOT since her first match on ECW. Jillian goes for the Handspring Elbow, but Kelly counters and gets a Victory Roll for the win.
Winners:Mickie James and Kelly
After the match, JBL's limo comes out, and the driver runs to the back like a little girl.
COMMERCIAL!!
JBL is now next to his limo, but he can't get it open. Cena and Cryme Tyme pop up and go to town on JBL's limo (Though Shad swung and missed on the window a couple of times). They decide to give the limo a custom paint job. Cena (Being Cena) cheesifies the moment by spraypainting, "JBL is Poopy" on the front of the limo (No joke needed).
CM Punk makes his way to the ring and we get a commercial. We come back and Snitsky makes his entrance to absolutely NO heat.
CM Punk vs Snitsky (Non-Title Match)
Generic Snitsky match. Big Boot here, Bearhug there. Punk comes back with the power of the kicks. He hits an Enzuguiri, a Springboard Clothesline, The Running Knee/Bulldog combo, then hits a NASTY looking Go2Sleep on Snitsky for the relatively easy victory.
Winner:CM Punk
Shawn Michaels walks to the ring.
COMMERCIAL!!
Shawn is in the ring, and he accepts Jericho's challenge for the GAB. Jericho comes out to confront HBK. We get a great promo to both men, which I can't really do justice. Because of that, I won't recap it, but it'll recommend that you check it out. Both men staredown, and we go to....
COMMERCIAL!!
Kofi Kingston vs Charlie Haas
Charlie dominates most of the match. He gets some stiff kicks in (Including busting Kofi open). Kingston makes the comeback, and he hits a Springboard Crossbody, follows up with a Dropkick, then hits the Boop-Boop Legdrop. Kofi hits the Trouble in Paradise and this one is OVER!
Winner:Kofi Kingston
Post-Match, Paul Burchill runs out and hits The Twisted Sister (Running Neckbreaker) then hits a Curb-Stomp.
Backstage, Batista is getting ready for his match when some random dude shows up and does the Batista machine-gun taunt before being chased by security, (Lol, wut?). That was random, and I love random.
COMMERCIAL!!!
John Cena vs JBL vs Kane vs Batista (Number 1 contenders match)
Love matches like this one, hate recapping them. Spinebuster by Batista on JBL, he goes for a pin but Kane pulls him off and hits him with a Chokeslam. Cena pulls off Kane and goes for a FU, but he gets hit with a Big Boot by JBL. Cena's back up and hits a Shoulder Block on JBL, then hits The Throwback on Kane. Cena hits an FU on Batista, but JBL breaks up the pin.
COMMERCIAL!!!
Cena hits the Spin-Out Power Bomb on JBL and goes for the 5 Knuckle Shuffle, but gets Clotheslined by Kane. Batista takes out JBL and Kane, then hits a Spinebuster on Cena, only to turn around and get hit with a Clothesline From Hell by JBL. Cena with an STFU on JBL. Kane goozles, Cena. JBL tries to attack Cena, but he gets goozled too. JBL and Cena escape, before slugging it out with each other. Cena and JBL are now outside, and Bradshaw grabs the steel steps and smashes Cena's face with them. Kane is now out, and he sends JBL to the crowd. Kane goes up top for a Clothesline on Batista (Who's still in the ring) but he dodges it. Kane gets back up on his feet, walks right into a Batista Spear and this one is over!
Winner:Batista!
Post-Match, Kane is PISSED! He yells at Cole and Lawler and asks them if he's alive or dead. Kane continues his rampage and kicks Stan (Yes, THAT Stan!). Kane tosses Cole in the ring to try and finish what Heidenreich started many moons ago. Kane goes for a Chokeslam, but gets Chop Blocked by Jerry Lawler. Kane beats down Lawler and leaves the ring.
End show.
Overall Thoughts:That was.. different. I'll admit it, I liked the show. The opening segment was good (Though a bit long) but it gave Punk some mic time, and it made the WHC look like a big deal. Mysterio vs Santino wasn't that good, but considering that Rey has been out for a couple of months, some ring rust is to be expected. I still don't understand why Kelly is on RAW, she'll probably win the Women's title in a couple of months. The Cena/Cryme Tyme segment was good, and even the poopy thing was funny (If you're 10 or under).
Punk vs Snitsky was a squash match, plain and simple. The Shawn-Jericho promo was great, and I fully expect this match to steal the show at GAB. Haas vs Kingston was a good short match, but it was all about the post match attack and now we have a challenge for the IC title. The ME was an all-out sprint with everyone throwing out big move after big move. No complaints about Batista winning. The ending with Kane was interesting, and to be honest, I'm excited to see where they go with this.
My only problem with the show was the lack of Rhodes and Dibiase. At the very least, they should have had a backstage promo or something just to remind the fans that they're still around. Still, a fun show for the second straight week, hopefully the ratings will reflect that. Thumbs up for RAW.

That's it and that's all, until next week, I AM OUT!
