Raw WWE RAW 28th July 2014 - LIVE Discussion: The Champ is Doomed?

[Chris]

Miami Prison Blues
Good heavens, did Stephanie McMahon misread the situation last week. Thinking she had gotten the best of Brie Bella by slapping her across the face when the Bella Twin – having bought a ticket to watch sister Nikki in action – got into a verbal altercation with her, things turned sour when that same slap led to an arrest and charge of aggravated battery. Brie and Nikki made their feelings known on the matter, though The Authority has been instructed to keep quiet on the situation while legal issues are resolved.

Now, what's in store for Brie Bella when she comes to Houston this evening after being summoned by Stephanie herself?

Y2-Bray problem
Chris Jericho beat Bray Wyatt at WWE Battleground, but he ain’t out of the woods yet: The Eater of Worlds immediately got his comeuppance by battering Y2J into a pulp on the WWE App, and seemed to insinuate he wasn’t quite done with the former Undisputed Champion in his latest sermon last Monday. Does Wyatt wanna start another war? And will Jericho reply?

Business decisions
Bidding a fond adieu to Paul Heyman’s managerial services just around the time the mad scientist wrangled Brock Lesnar out of the wild, Cesaro seemingly threw out his name as a potential ally for The Authority. Although The King of Swing hasn’t been able to defeat the corporate power’s most consistent enemy of late, Dean Ambrose, he did give The Lunatic Fringe one hellacious beating on SmackDown, and even engaged in some post-match physicality alongside Mr. Money in the Bank himself, Seth Rollins. Not bad as far as a job application goes; will Triple H accept?

Give and take
Of all the things the WWE Universe expected to see on Monday, esteemed funk machine Xavier Woods showing up in a white suit and demanding Kofi Kingston and Big E “take” what was rightfully theirs had to skew toward the bottom of the list. Yet that’s exactly what happened, and “Kof-E” seemed to take Woods’ proclamations seriously. The budding tag team already showed an attitude change on WWE Main Event when they mauled "Slater Gator" into defeat; will the trend continue on Raw?

Man vs. Beast
The challenge is set, and The Champ may not be here for long. Staring in the face of Brock Lesnar as his No. 1 contender, WWE World Heavyweight Champion John Cena is set to make his first address to the WWE Universe since retaining the ultimate title in a Fatal 4-Way at WWE Battleground, and his first since WWE COO Triple H accepted Lesnar as Cena’s opponent last week. What will the Cenation leader have to say?

Summerslam is my call

Hope Steph flipped them off when they tried to print her

 

[Defiant]

I know it's for Steph but it's weird seeing the Bellas in the recap intro video as one of the marquee storylines.

 

[Deezy]

So what does anyone think Trips not going to help Steph off the bat signals the Autority break up?

 

[chefboyardee]

Easy, you want to see the champ wrestle......Order the network or PPV.

The toughest challenge of Cena's career?

Cena's faced Lesnar 4 times in 1 on 1 matches. Not really anything new

Just some dissension that works itself out pretty soon I think. It may be used to kind of make this feud just Cena/Brock (and Heyman), instead of having too much of an Authority focus.

Random thought: Can the Authority ever truly end without a divorce (angle)?
