WWE RAW 18th July 2011 - LIVE Discussion *MITB PPV SPOILERS*

[Troy]

​

What a PPV and what a RAW this will be.

Punk won the title and left the show as champion. This means that Cena will be fired and Punk is gone. Where next for this incredible storyline? This storyline is the best in years and I can't wait to see what happens on RAW.

Del Rio won MITB to now give himself two title shots at the champion.

This is a must watch show and I beg everyone to watch it. Make the ratings huge because then Vince will see that this is what we want to see, edgy storylines like this where the line between reality and fiction is blurred.

​

 

[Ben Purse]

I have to watch this.

 

[Troy]

Same here. I have to watch this live as it happens. It is a monumental moment in recent WWE history and could change the direction of the company. Big statements but it is an incredible (can't stop saying that word) storyline and it is the best thing in wrestling.

I have no idea what Punk will do and if we will see him at all. If we see him I would love to see Colt Cabana with him as his bodyguard

 

[Deezy]

Definitely not missing this show.

Should be historic.

 

[Troy]

What would be the last storyline that was talked about this much?

I think it would be Jericho's return years ago when he used the Save_Us promo videos for returning.

 

[Andrew]

Punk advertised for the show.

I believe another Cash In will take place with Vince trying to get CM beat down but he escapes or something. Something big will happen... Really hope they drop that WWE title, new one can be made.

Del Rio will cut a promo to open the show I believe, we'll probably see a few matches as well but mainly Del Rio / Cena / CM Punk / Vince segments..

 

[Troy]

Del Rio wont open the show. Vince will be in the ring to start the show to address the title situation.

I see PUnk getting rid of that title belt so they can replace it with a new one and I see some ROH references during the show.

 

[Keith]

One prediction I have for tomorrow is that Del Rio win take adventege of one of his title shots, MITB most likely and face Punk for the title, it maybe a long shot, as Punk will be there tomorrow, but expect him to be gone for awhile after that, but it is just something I thought off.

 

[Troy]

I don't know if I see Punk wrestling tomorrow. What I love is I have no idea what will happen but I know it will be awesome.

WIN


I cannot wait for Raw tomorrow. My god, it is going to be the best Raw ever.

 

[Troy]

This might make WWE, and the industry in general, realise that there are still a lot of wrestling fans out there and they will tune in and buy your product if you give them great storylines. This storyline has made so many more people interested in this PPV and now RAW tomorrow will be huge because of it. Book interesting shows and the fans will come back. WWE need to get more Punk merchandise on to wweshop because I am sure fans will keep buying it after tonight.

 

[Andrew]

I'll be annoyed if CM gets a beat down, Del Rio cashes in to be WWE Champion.

I want CM Punk to escape once again with Vince fuming, week after he announces there's a tournament for the new WWE Championship. The winner faces Del Rio.

 

[Troy]

Summerslam is a month away, August 14th, so they will need to organise something for the title to promote for one of the big four PPV's. What a lead-up though for that PPV, gets everyone excited about wrestling again and if they continue booking like this it will pay off for them.

I don't see a Punk beatdown I see him escaping with the title one way or another. Most likely Vince will declare that Punk is no longer champion since his contract is expired and he will create a new belt for SummerSlam.

 

[Andrew]

Would be good to do that tournament with winner facing Del Rio.

Rey vs. Del Rio at Summerslam could happen again now Cena's 'fired'... Who else could face Del Rio? Or perhaps Riley gets his opportunity but falls short? Ah so many things from here on

 

[Troy]

Rey vs. Del Rio does seem most likely since the only other face up there is Riley. Or we could see the return of John Morrison and he could get the title shot.
