WWE RAW 15th August 2011 - LIVE Discussion

[Troy]

​

Huge huge RAW after SummerSlam PPV.

The WWE title situation alone could fill this show as there are so many questions unanswered.

-Punk won the title but Cena's foot was on the rope when Triple H counted the pin. Is there are a reversal and was HHH working for Punk?
-Kevin Nash then returned through the crowd in casual gear and hit Punk with a jacknife powerbomb before leaving.
- Del Rio then cashed in the briefcase to win the title.

So what we are left with is three guys who have a claim to the title. Will this lead to a triple threat match at Night of Champions? What role will Nash play on RAW tonight? Is Nash working for Del Rio or for himself?

Stephanie McMahon also returned on the PPV so will we see her on RAW tonight?

In other RAW SummerSlam news Kelly Kelly retained the title and the faces got the win in the six man tag but honestly that is minor news.

Also Mysterio gets a title shot tonight so he faces Del Rio for the title.

Hopefully all the regulars plus some new faces will be part of RAW discussion this week as it will be a huge show.​

You know it managed to make HHH the new COO look rather foolish maybe this continues and next month Steph takes over has two maybe three months in charge before Shane McMahon returns. At the rumble we see a fourway for control again Punk Cena Del Rio and ????(perhaps Jericho). I can dream right?

 

[Andrew]

So many twists & turns...

I see Ziggler v. Riley (It was a dark match) so not many people know about this

Punk/Nash/ADR/HHH/Cena... All that... Huge segment I'd like to see how it pans out.

I see either a triple threat or Fatal Four way at NOC.

I see Stephanie being out to explain it was her plan to use Nash or something...

Del Rio is gonna lose either way.

 

[John McHenry]

Yeah I hope WWE doesn't play off Steph as just being the supportive wife and was in no way involved that would be so disappointing.

It did make him look a bit ridiculous that he missed such a blatant foot on the ropes and that he didn't listen to any complaints.

Another battle for control isn't something I want to see but I do see Stephanie playing a bigger role on RAW from now on.

Hopefully they set up Alex Riley vs. Dolph Ziggler for the NOC PPV.

Stephanie has to explain what she was doing at the PPV.

Nash's explanation is what I want to see most of all. Was he working alone or with someone? What will he do next?

 

[Andrew]

I see Steph being the GM sooner than later somehow...

She'd be good at it.

Tomorrow leads to twists and turns... It's going to be interesting. I see Del Rio vs Rey being the opener actually.

I'd just like to see Shane back in the fold but that's probably asking for too much too soon.


Punks angle as of late is similar to a one man NWO could be a tie in there somehow? Maybe a tie in to his boozer buddy scott hall you know Punk being straight edge and all.

 

[Andrew]

Shane won't be backstage. He's too focused on MMA...

Nash/Punk bit will be so great... I want a Fatal Four Way, its been forever...

 

[Chris Dresdon]

They might reveal Stephanie as the Anonymous GM. Then they can quit putting the podium out there for no reason whatsoever. Good to see the Punk/Cena stuff still carrying so much heat as now others have been brought into the fold and it still feels fresh. There's a possibility Nash has no affiliation with Del Rio now that I think about it.

 

[Troy]

Shane works for a Chinese media company these days so he won't be back. We will only see HHH and Stephanie on the show.

I really like it when I have no idea what will happen with these storylines. There are so many good options for these storylines and I hope WWE give us a good explanation for everything.

 

[Andrew]

Lots of options and makes us think what will be booked for NOC

Love the unpredictability here.

It would be great if that happens. Gets rid of the annoying Anonymous GM and explains why Stephanie is back.

Nash on his own would be odd and I just think it would kill Punk's heat if he went from feuding with Cena and HHH to feuding with Nash. Nash shouldn't be the focus point of a feud but can be some extra on top of it all.

Right after the PPV and when I made this thread I didn't even think about the PPV. I don't think we will hear too much about the PPV even though they could easily book three matches for it tomorrow night.

You know what I can see happening. Rey Mysterio comes out and beats Del Rio, throwing the title scene into even more turmoil with Cena having the foot on the ropes, Punk being cashed in on, and Del Rio having a rematch clause. There's your main event for Night of Champions, a fatal four way elimination match.

I was really surprised that Kelly Kelly won, not that Im unhappy that she will continue being on tv, but I thought it was time for Beth and Natalya to take over the womens division, eventually leading to a feud between the two, a battle between the best.

Not sure what is going to happen with Truth/Morrison/Kingston/Miz, but I too expect Dolph and Alex Riley to be made for Night of Champions.
