Note: This is the last WWE Raw before WM 28. Not only will the WWE change for the year but so will Gene The Grappler. This is my first Wrestlemania that I wrote about but this is my 20th Wrestlemania I have seen. I stop watching Wrestlemania after 2001 to 2006. This is going to be a great WWE Raw only because the hype for Wrestlemania is at the end run. So with that all said, this is the final WWE Raw before Wrestlemania.
There was no opening segment. I am shocked. No one started the show with some trash talk. I guess after the soap opera of the The Rock and Cena that aired before the show that was all the talk needed.
Match#1: Randy Orton and Sheamus vs. Daniel Bryan and Kane
Winners: Kane and Bryan
(This was the best way to start off WWE Raw. This was a good match. Both men were amped because this is the last WWE Raw before Wrestlemania 28. Kane is still the monster he has been since back in the day. Randy is still good. This match was put together sloppily. No real storyline except Kane is back to being a monster. As for Sheamus and Bryan, this is going to be the match that starts the PPV. Sad to say this title is worthless. No one really cares about the World Heavyweight Champion. It's worse that the Cruiserweight title. The match might be good if Bryan makes it good. Sheamus is going to win though.)
Match#2: Santino Marella vs. David Otunga
Winner: Santino
(There was so much in this match that I will let you go to WWE or Youtube to see it. Basically this was a shitty match that set up a shittier match for Wrestlemania. I will talk about the teams later.)
Match#3: Eve Torres vs. Kelly Kelly
Winner: Kelly Kelly
(We find out that Kelly Kelly and the chick from Extra will be facing Beth Phoenix and Eve. What the fuck? You mean Beth is not going to defend her title at Wrestlemania? That's fucked up! So I have to watch a b list TV reporter, two women that barely can wrestle and Beth in a match? I think that's bullshit. Beth should be facing someone for the title. That chick from Extra is not going to mess up herself at some WWE PPV. She's on Dancing With The Stars. Damn you Vince!)
Match#4: Christian vs. CM Punk
Winner: No One!
(Y2J pissed off CM Punk. Christian tried to catch Punk off guard. Punk went fucking psycho! Punk lost it. This match needs to happen quickly because Y2J is going to piss me off for trying too hard to be the heel. If Punk does not win then I think Vince is trying to have the fans riot. Poor Christian is out of the PPV because of Punk. Boo hoo!)
Match#5: Brodus Clay vs. Curt Hawkins
Winner: Brodus Clay
(This match was bullshit! Brodus is a pawn to Vince's twisted sense of popularity. As for Curt Hawkins, it was nice to see him in a match not involving NXT. This was a pointless match that was bullshit filler.)
Match#6: Big Show vs. Epico
Winner: Big Show
(This was a warm up match for Big Show. This was also a final time; Cody Rhodes could make fun of Big Show. Their match is kind of pointless because Show could really beat him but he won't to make Cody Rhodes more popular. This match is like Kane and Randy Orton. This is pointless but someone has to fill time at the PPV.)
Match#7: Mark Henry vs. The Great Khali
Winner: Mark Henry
(So the final list of men in the epic (bullshit) match for control of both WWE Raw and WWE Smackdown is set. On Team Ace, it is Swagger, Herny, Ziggler, The Miz, Otunga, and Drew McIntyre. Team Teddy is Booker T., Santino, Ryder, Khali, Kofi and R-Truth. This is like the c match. Most of these guys are being wasted on this match. We all know that Team Ace will win only because we need a heel ruler. If Team Teddy wins then Vince is not going to upset the fans. We will see.)
Main Event: The Rock and John Cena had their final showdown.
(As a fan, this was good until the personal stuff was mentioned. I want to believe that this will be a great match but I am not falling for the hype of this match. Vince is going to fuck us in this match. This match is not going to be the best but I hope this will finally end the debate. We will see.)
Final Thoughts: So there is no real divas title match? There is not going to be a tag team title match? Santino is not going to defend his title at Wrestlemania. Most of the good matches are not for the titles. I am upset that this Wrestlemania is mostly hyped matches that are not going to matter for the short term. Not only that, who cares who runs Raw and Smackdown? Vince, Steph and Triple H run WWE. So as a fan, I hope this PPV is good or there will be changes. See you all for TNA Impact. I doubt there is a WWE Smackdown but then again, we will see.
