WWE RAW 25th February 2013 - Cena/Punk + Vince/Heyman

[Dale]

*Will put up the official preview when it gets released*

----------

Thought i'd get this up early seen as though two huge matchups were announced a week in advance.

Now i'm going to go on record and say that I think the WWE are working the fans into thinking they're going Rock/Cena/Punk for WrestleMania and they're actually going to give Cena his first win against Punk in the biggest scenario imaginable with the WrestleMania main event on the line. I'm going to go with that viewpoint so that if it does happen, i'm not disappointed by the outcome.

As far as Vince/Heyman i'm not sure what's going to go down between those two but it's obvious that it's setting up the Brock/HHH match. I'm hoping they pull the swerve though and have it be Taker.

I am predicting run-ins galore for the Vince/Heyman match. Brock, Shield, and god knows how many members of the McMahon family, or friends of Hunter will show up. I am actually leaning more towards a Sheamus/Brock WM encounter.

If the rumours of a Ryback heel turn are in the works, the Cena/Punk match would be the most opprotune time to pull the trigger, everyone else would have been used for the Vince/Heyman match, and it would be unexpected, puts the triple threat into motion, and gives Ryback & Cena a programe after Mania.

Cena/Punk should be a really good match. I hope that a triple threat eventuates for the WWE title mainly because I can't see Undertaker wrestling at WM this year so without that Punk has nothing. If Undertaker does indeed return then I have no issue with Punk not being in that title match because facing Undertaker at WM is a huge deal.

Vince/Heyman should end up as a good brawl with at least HHH/Lesnar going at it. Hopefully it ends up with half the roster out there going at it.

 

[Chriss]

This is looking to be a good show actually. Cena/Punk have a bit of chemistry and their matches are not bad so I don't have a problem with that match. Personaly I think the match she's gonna end is a no-contest or both men will be disqualified or something like that and then Mr.McMahon or Vickie Guererro will come out and announce that the WWE Championship match at Wrestlemania will be a Triple Threat. OR. If Punk and Cena somehow get disqualified or something like that, Vickie will come out and say that next week there will be one more match. The Rock comes out and says he'll take on both Cena and Punk at WM.

Then the McMahon/Heyman 'fight'. Man, I don't know. Vince will probably just beat the shit out of Heyman and then we'll see a run-in from Lesnar. Lesnar attack Vince and then Triple H comes out to save Vince and Lesnar and Triple H will get into fighting, setting up a Wrestlemania match.

 

[The Showstopper]

Excited for the Vince/Heyman fight just because Lesnar and HHH will be going at it (hopefully).

 

[NotReallyaGoodUN]

I'll join the list of hopefuls in stating that I want to see Orton vs Lesnar sometime after Mania in case the 2 year contract extension thing is true. (It is isn't it?)

Then the McMahon/Heyman 'fight'. Man, I don't know. Vince will probably just beat the shit out of Heyman and then we'll see a run-in from Lesnar. Lesnar attack Vince and then Triple H comes out to save Vince and Lesnar and Triple H will get into fighting, setting up a Wrestlemania match.

Pretty much.

 

[Andrew]

So much set to happen, apparently HHH/Lesnar and Taker returning. Think we're in for a good show, well... I hope.

 

[Troy]

All shows from here until WM should be really good, WWE normally up their game at this time of year. I think this is the last show with no Rock until WM but his disappearance will be covered by the Cena/Punk match and the return of Lesnar and HHH on the show.

Hope to see some direction for the midcard titles heading towards WM as well. Need to start working on the undercard to really build up a good PPV card to support the top matches.

 

[Andrew]

Seems like it could be an angle-heavy show.

Wonder what will open the show.

 

[zigglerHEEL]

My guess is Heyman opens the show saying he doesn't want to fight a defenseless man...

 

[Crippler]

makes sense.

 

[Andrew]

Vince opens up the show.

 

[Crippler]

Vince attempting to grow his hair again

 

[Andrew]

Surprised there's a few fans with the new belt already..

 

[PHX]

Heyman looks ready.
