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

[Keith]

Soild match, if a bit on the short side, will go for the Miz now, quite often a injuried heel tends to do quite well.

 

[Troy]

Didn't expect that. With the Leg injury Miz cannot win this.

That is why I thought he would lose to Kingston to give him the rub. No idea what direction WWE are going with this. Miz can't win the title it has to be Truth or Mysterio. Maybe Mysterio will win and Del Rio will cash it in and win?

 

[Andrew]

Truth backstage promo, nice...

Still see Mysterio winning then he beats The Miz..

Del Rio cash in cos he hates Rey so much. Yep that works

 

[Andrew]

Yeah, I'll go with Del Rio cashing it on Rey, makes a lot of sense to me and Cena is "fired" so... Rey vs Del Rio can happen and I wouldn't mind that because their matches have always been great.

 

[Keith]

Punk is doing a great job of playing this up.

The Miz wins. Well that sucks. This RAW is nothing like what I expected, I thought it would follow in the pattern of MITB where WWE take chances and push new names. Evidently not.

Think that i harsh on Miz, the guy is a great talent, who was booked poorly by WWE during his first title reign, he deserves another shot, yeah would have been nice to see KK make the final, but he will live to fight another day, don't mind Miz being there, I am just worried that they will go and put the belt on Rey, don't want to see another Rey-Del Rio feud.

 

[John McHenry]

The Miz winning with the injury and legit makes him...Awesome. But seriously it'd finally give him credibility.

 

[Andrew]

We get Andy Levine vignette...

The fuck? Why are we plugging this guy?

 

[Keith]

If Punk turns up, it will be soon, maybe during the final. Agree that this raw has been pretty flat.

 

[Troy]

It sucks because he is "injured" yet they have him beating guys like Kingston. It is a complete change from the direction they started last night and I thought they would take a chance to push a new face to replace Cena.

 

[Andrew]

Eh, guess it was a cheap plug... Seem to be pushing him a bit.

Mysterio over Truth here...

Surprised we've got more wrestling then promos tonight

 

[Troy]

We get Andy Levine vignette...

The fuck? Why are we plugging this guy?

He won Tough Enough of course WWE will plug him.

Two matches to go plus Vince is meant to talk about Cena's situation but only 30 minutes left. It has been a flat RAW.

 

[Troy]

Mysterio vs. Truth up now. I think it will be Mysterio who makes it to the final.

 

[Andrew]

Zack Ryder and Santino Marella defeated David Otunga and Michael McGuillicutty in a non-title match.

-Evan Bourne defeated Primo.

On Superstars...

No Vladimir, could Santino be teaming up with Ryder now? Uh... Confused here!

 

[Andrew]

Mysterio winning makes sense, Face vs. Heel for the finals.

They wouldn't do Heel vs Heel cos it makes no sense.

 

[Troy]

Punk is still at the Cubs game so they won't be a late appearance by him.
