WWE RAW 23rd April 2012 - LIVE Discussion

Brock and Cena to Sign on RAW
Tonight on RAW Brock Lesnar and John Cena will have a contract signing for their Extreme Rules match at Extreme Rules. Will this descend into a brawl and will someone go through the table?

Jericho Inside Punk's Head
Jericho, over the past few weeks, has relentlessly attacked CM Punk both physically and verbally as he continues to try to break Punk. Jericho got his wish for a rematch and he will be hoping that he can continue to work down Punk to get him off his game before the PPV. What will happen between these two on RAW this week?

Lord Tensai
Last week Lord Tensai was in the mainevent match on RAW and he managed to defeat Cena thanks to a couple of distractions at ringside. Still it is a big win for the new character but where can he go next. Who will Lord Tensai face this week and will he have a match at Extreme Rules?

Extreme Rules PPV
This is the last RAW before the PPV and with only four matches on the card can we expect to see another match or two added tonight?

See all that and more on RAW this week. Discuss the show live as it happens with other WS members in this thread tonight.​

Personally as much as I am going for Lesnar in this feud, Cena needs to grab the upper-hand heading into the PPV by sending Lesnar into the table to prove that he's there for a fight.

Jericho Inside Punk's Head

Main Event tag match please! I'd like to see Jericho/Bryan vs. CM Punk/Sheamus. That is all.

Lord Tensai

He defeated Cena last week, I'd continue pushing him. This week he can face Orton or someone... Kane can come out for the distraction. That works.

Extreme Rules PPV
This is the last RAW before the PPV and with only four matches on the card can we expect to see another match or two added tonight?

Santino vs. Brodus vs. Swagger vs. Ziggler ? I just want Ziggler on the card!

I expect to see Hawkins & Reks signed on RAW...

Wasn't this supposed to be the draft show?

 

[Troy]

I agree that Cena needs to get the upper hand on RAW tonight. So far Lesnar has destroyed Cena every time they have appeared in the ring together and so they need to give some indication that Cena can compete with him by letting him FU Lesnar through the table after they sign the contract.

I like the idea of Lord Tensai facing Randy Orton and then having Kane distract Orton to give Tensai another big win without hurting Orton.

Would like to see Hawkins/Reks wrestle as a tag team on RAW after Johnny Ace brings them in since they were fired from NXT.

I am struggling to think of a decent match to add to the Extreme Rules card. There were no divas segments on RAW last week so I wonder if they will be ignored again this week and kept off the PPV.

Postponed to June 11th according to sources.

It was rumoured to be the draft show but it won't be. WWE haven't announced anything to do with a draft and so they must be holding it off for later in the year.

 

[Keith]

Well in a little while I am going to watch last weeks raw, and based on the strength of that I may or may not stay up for tonights.

Have to say I am a bit bored with contract signings on the pre-ppv raw, it seems to happen for every semi-important match, and just feels like overkill, also they normally follow roughly the same pattern, so there is little suprise.

 

[The Cork]

Odds on Otunga going through the table in the contract segment?

 

[Dale]

-- The opening segment of tonight's 3-hour RAW Supershow from Detroit will feature the Extreme Rules contract signing between Brock Lesnar and John Cena.

Interesting that it's up first, guess something big must be happening later on in the show too.

 

[AZUCAR!]

Looking forward to Raw. I'll be watching the stream this week and posting in here

 

[John McHenry]

Glad I read this thread early completely forgot it was a 3 hour.

 

[jax_the_ax]

I'll be here in some capacity. KIF/Jax something like that.

 

[Crippler]

I hope Brock flips the contract table on Cena and he just walks away laughing. Or a another Johnny Picture take like he did with Miz, Punk and Del Rio

 

[Andrew]

TIME FOR RAW!
