WWE RAW 10th December 2012 - LIVE Discussion

[Heisenberg]

How long will CM Punk’s reign last?
WWE Champion CM Punk has ridden a huge wave of success since first capturing the WWE Championship at Survivor Series 2011. Even after controversial title matches at this year’s Hell in a Cell and Survivor Series, Punk found a way to keep his coveted title. And after recently surpassing John Cena’s 380-day title reign, Punk became the longest-reigning WWE Champion of the last 25 years. But things can change in the blink of an eye in WWE, and Punk’s recent surgery is a perfect example. With Punk no longer defending his title at WWE TLC as per Mr. McMahon, just how long can he hold on to his title? When will The Second City Saint be back at 100 percent and ready to compete again? Do you think the recovering CM Punk should relinquish the WWE Championship? On Monday’s Raw, will the WWE Universe know more about the fate of the WWE Championship?

Is Cena poised to capture the World Heavyweight Title?
While Punk’s momentum has come to a dead halt, John Cena’s wave of success only continues to build up steam. And with the Ladder Match for the World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank contract against Dolph Ziggler at WWE TLC looming, Cena is salivating at the chance to get back in the title hunt. Will Ziggler live to regret Raw Managing Supervisor Vickie Guerrero caving in to Mr. McMahon’s persuading her to put Ziggler’s championship contract on the line? With his contract in jeopardy, what might Ziggler do as a preemptive strike on Raw?

Who is next in The Shield’s sights?
On Raw, The Shield brutalized WWE Tag Team Champions Daniel Bryan & Kane. Then in the trio’s first appearance on SmackDown, they brutalized Team Hell No once again. At WWE TLC, the monstrous Ryback will join forces with Team Hell No to battle The Shield. Before the big clash, with The Shield be looking for one more opportunity to strike against its TLC opponents? Are they really on a mission of justice in WWE? If so, who is next to feel its wrath?

Will AJ Lee continue her winning ways?
After suffering a sneak attack at Tamina Snuka’s hand at Survivor Series, former Raw General Manage AJ Lee defeated the dominant Diva one-on-one on last week’s Raw. Is the big victory a sign of things to come for AJ within the squared circle? The opportunity is there for the diminutive Diva to make a name for herself that has nothing to do with managing Raw … or being caught up in the “AJ scandal.”

Who most needs to gain momentum before WWE TLC?
It’s the last Raw before the final pay-per-view of the year and every Superstar is going to be looking for ways to increase his chances for victory at TLC. Dolph Ziggler will be fighting to prevent John Cena from seizing his championship contract. Sheamus will be looking for a way to dethrone World Heavyweight Champion Big Show and get the World Title back in his possession. Wade Barrett will be eager to wrest Kofi Kingston’s Intercontinental Championship from him. And Team Hell No, along with Ryback, will be looking to squash The Shield. Who wants it most? Tune in Monday at 8/7 CT on USA Network.

Make sure to tune in to the TLC go home show and discuss RAW right here, as it happens with other WS members!

very interested as to how they play the Punk injury, hoping we get another Shield vignette, and Cesaro in the ring, build up to Miz/Sandow

I'll be watching live and will probably be on for the discussion for most of the show

Great graphic to demonstrate the longest title reigns, the little images on top of each bar are a nice touch.

Interested in what Punk has to say with the injury and if we will see him in a wheelchair or with crutches. Punk in a motorised wheelchair could be good viewing.

The Shield need to attack a few more big names this week to show that they are actually a threat at TLC. I also wouldn't have them actually wrestle, save their in-ring debut for the PPV.

Ziggler/Cena is what I am probably most looking forward to. Ziggler needs to be seen as much of an equal as he can be to Cena and so far WWE have done a decent job at that. Huge opportunity for Ziggler and for WWE to try to make their next maineventer.

 

[John McHenry]

Really only watching for Cena and Ziggler at this point. I fully expect WWE to fuck The Shield storyline up and the three "big name" vanillia midgets don't do much for me the most impressive one is the one mentioned the least.

 

[Andrew]

I should be online for this, hopefully my Job Agency an hour before doesn't take too much time.

Looking forward to the show and hoping The Shield can continue to leave impact.

 

[John McHenry]

Shield package looks like their blaming his injury on the shield

 

[Andrew]

I thought the AJ/Cena storyline was killed off, I guess not..

 

[Andrew]

Ziggler's becoming good on the mic.

 

[John McHenry]

You know an interesting and very heel finish would be bringing in his brother to hold John down while Dolph climbs the ladder. So glad to see Dolph open the show with a promo seems like WWE are finally behind him.

 

[John McHenry]

Ziggler's becoming good on the mic.

He's been pretty good for at least a year now. Glad they finally seem to be letting him talk on his own.

i'm confused is this raw or TLC? It's setup like TLC always is.

 

[Andrew]

Damn Sheamus ruining this moment

He's been pretty good for at least a year now. Glad they finally seem to be letting him talk on his own.

i'm confused is this raw or TLC? It's setup like TLC always is.

TLC on Sunday, go home show. I expect promos.

 

[John McHenry]

Well way to suck the potential out of a Dolph promo.

 

[Andrew]

I love Big Show on the mic as a heel.

If Ziggler cashes in tonight and is successful does that mean he'll still face Cena?

 

[Andrew]

Vince in the building...

Please The Shield, take out Vince!

 

[Vexxo]

Perfectly good Ziggler promo and it ends with Sheamus pushing him off a ladder for no reason.

oh i love sheamus so much
