WWE RAW 23rd September 2013 - LIVE Discussion - An Incoming Rebellion?

[Dale]

1. CM Punk’s homecoming
When Raw rolls into Chicago, hometown boy CM Punk will no doubt be looking for some retribution. With Paul Heyman finally in Punk’s clutches at Night of Champions, Ryback interrupted Punk’s cathartic thrashing of his former best friend. With Ryback and Heyman now buddies, will The Straight Edge Superstar have to get through the “Human Wrecking Ball†if he wants another chance at the ECW founder?


2. Is a rebellion imminent?
A group of Superstars decided to take action last week on Raw and save Daniel Bryan from getting pummeled by Randy Orton and The Shield. The “active protest†did not sit well with COO Triple H, who lined up some fair and honest competition on SmackDown. But Michael Cole was quick to question just how fair the night was for some. Could the COO be soon faced with an all-out rebellion from some Superstars?

3. "True" Diva vs. "Total" Divas
Divas Champion AJ Lee declared that she will single-handedly defeat all of E!’s “Total Divas,†starting with Naomi on SmackDown. The spitfire Diva backed up her words by making Naomi tap out to the Black Widow, as third-generation Diva Natalya looked on from the announce table. Which Diva will AJ look to tangle with next?

4. Deadlier Viper
Randy Orton has shed his skin and revealed the dormant, sadistic side of WWE’s Apex Predator — as The Miz experienced firsthand on last week’s Raw. On SmackDown, The Viper issued a painful promise: He won’t just reclaim the WWE Championship at the first-ever WWE Battleground pay-per-view, but he’ll also massacre his opponent, Daniel Bryan, along the way.

5. RVD's second chance
Triple H might not be on the top of some Superstars’ current favorite lists, but Rob Van Dam has to be thankful to some degree. On SmackDown, the COO offered the highflier another opportunity at Alberto Del Rio’s World Heavyweight Championship at WWE Battleground. But after the big news, Del Rio carried out a vicious sneak attack on his No. 1 contender. Will RVD be out for retribution this Monday on Raw? Tune in at 8/7 CT on USA Network.

I'll watch but other than the Orton/Bryan/Trips stuff which is still fantastic, I just don't give a fuck about the rest. Punk/Ryback could be pretty entertaining though

 

[Gimmick]

Same as me, don't really care about anything else other than the main storyline.

It'll be interesting to see what they do next in this storyline. Hopefully the people that helped Bryan continue to do so because I don't think Bryan can continue facing The Shield all the time.

 

[Troy]

Looking forward to how they deal with those faces that helped Bryan last week, can see a token firing or two, maybe they will be pitted in a loser leaves WWE match. Was a great moment last week to close the show with Bryan and the faces standing tall so hopefully they can top that somehow this week.

Hope to hear some more from the Rhodes family. Would love to see them book The Shield vs. Rhodes Family at Battleground.

Really enjoying AJ's storyline and the fact that they haven't simply given the Total Divas the title. Nice to see her stand up against the group and succeed.

 

[Andrew]

Won't be on to watch but may end up taping it on my DVR.

Hopefully it's a good show.

 

[John McHenry]

Isn't something Rhodes related supposed to happen? That could entertain.

I don't know what it could be though? They've already used his family but I'm okay with more Goldust.

 

[Dash]

Personally only interested in the Orton/Bryan/TripleH/Rhodes storylines. Somewhat interested in the Divas one as well but other than that, I'm just tuning in for the 2K14 Roster Reveal.

 

[Crippler]

We might get a "20 MINUTE NO CONFIDENCE" PROMO TO START leading to the return of Vince

 

[John McHenry]

Vince doing that in memory of actually gives it more credibility.
