WWE RAW 21st January 2013 - LIVE Discussion

[Troy]

Ready to Rumble
The Rock and CM Punk closed out RAW last week brawling around the ring whilst security and referees tried to seperate them. This is the last RAW before the Rumble so what will happen between Rock and Punk? What will they have to say to each other and will things get physical again?

The Nature Boy ..... Really?
In one of the most random developments in wrestling this year, The Miz has seemingly been appointed the chosen one by Ric Flair and has started using the Figure Four Lock as his finisher. Where is this all leading for The Miz now that he is a face? Will this move be the extra dimension that he needs to defeat Cesaro for the US title?

Royal Rumble
This is the go home RAW for the Rumble so expect a big build for the second biggest PPV of the year. Who else do you think will be added to the Rumble match? Will the number 30 and/or number 1 positions be determined on RAW? Do you think that any other matches will be added to the card.

Tune in for all that and a lot more on RAW tonight. Will hopefully be a good show because it is the last RAW before the Rumble. Expect a lot of time spent pumping up the PPV and hopefully there is a bit more focus on the actual Rumble match.

Join in the fun and discuss RAW in this thread as it happens, the more people involved the better it is.​

 

[Dale]

Mostly interested in the Rock and Punk interaction and how they sign it off leading into the Rumble.

 

[Tapout]

If this show is Rock heavy again, then get ready for another bad show.

This show NEEDS to be about the Rumble itself. But it won't because Rock doesn't put anything over himself.

 

[Dale]

Two segments, what a spotlight hog.

 

[Chris]

I'll be watching this on DVR later tonight like I did last week, just can't handle a full three hours when the show isn't even that good.

 

[Crippler]

tbf I don't have high hopes for this so i might not even watch.

 

[Andrew]

Will be watching, I am expecting a lot of hype for the Rumble but I highly doubt we'll see that at all.

Low expectations this time could mean a good show but guess we gotta sit back tight and see.

 

[The Cork]

Two segments, what a spotlight hog.

No he's right, WWE should most definitely of paid Rock millions of dollars to basically be another JTG and lose to everybody. The best way to use The Rock would be have him not talk and put Daniel Bryan and Dolph Ziggler over him, because they connect with the audience way better.

 

[John McHenry]

Go home to rumble I expect this to be much better than last week

 

[Crippler]

When are go-home WWE shows ever good? Seriously i'm trying to think of the last good one.

 

[Crippler]

Wonder how many BLACK wrestlers will go over tonight.

 

[John McHenry]

Should have opened with Soulberg.

 

[Andrew]

Vickie with Heyman?

 

[Big Red Jericho Punk]

Paul Heyman is straight pimpin.

 

[Andrew]

So many signs in the crowd, they're also loud as hell!
