Near fall by Kofi. He is selling that arm injury well. Crowd right behind Kofi.

Del Rio grabs the ropes in the last second.

This is a great match.

Botch by Kofi and Del Rio in the corner when Kofi went on his shoulders but didnt roll him through properly.

Del Rio makes Kofi tap out for the win.

Del Rio slams Kofi's arm on the ropes, follows with the armbreaker as Kofi submits.

Great match here.

Kofi taps. No push. Push for Rio for Summerslam.

Good moment with Rio's rope break.

Maybe not Summerslam but Kofi performed well, he should be facing someone like Del Rio if Del Rio isn't having a title match at SS. A feud with Truth even would make Kofi a bit more relevant as a face. It'd work.

I am glad that Del Rio got the win there. He needed it after failing to cash in the briefcase earlier tonight. Wouldnt mind seeing them face each other at SummerSlam.

Triple H will be on Smackdown this week. Good to see him on both shows since he is now the man in charge.

If he teases another cash in then it gets boring, twice it's happened already and he failed to comply.

A third time and not cashing it in will just lose his credibility altogether.

That's a bit dramatic. Same thing happened with Miz last year if you'll recall and he was in the WWE Title match at the top of the show. His credibility survived, as will Alberto's.

Anyhoo, great Raw in my opinion. I'm glad Ziggler faced someone not named Kofi Kingston, though I'm afraid that's what's in store for Summerslam. I'm enjoying Triple H in his new role, a lot of refreshing stuff. The Divas match was still a botchfest but it was at least watchable, Rey's competing twice for the second week in a row, plus we've got another new champion(too bad it won't last), Morrison and JR are back, and he had an entertaining back and forth with R-Truth. Really hope Michael Cole gets relegated to solely calling Smackdown.

I'm probably one of the few that actually found the Keith Stone segment amusing. I figured Cole would've faced Alex Riley based on the silhouette on the graphic and the somewhat storyline that's there, but I'm very excited that they went with Ryder instead. Short match but I'm happy about that too, I was afraid we'd have the same stalling and b.s.'ing we've seen in other Michael Cole matches.

Josh Matthews interviewing The Miz backstage. Miz isn't happy at all.

So Rey vs. John any surprises here or we just going to have a straight up match? They just say HHH was going to be on Smackdown after they made a big deal to the stockholders about HHH being a Chairman of Raw and implying Vince is still chairman of smackdown.

Rey vs Cena, literally a dream match.

They better deliver, I see a dirty finish though like a double DQ or something leaving them to face again at Summerslam.
