WWE Raw Review 5/28/12


Note: This is the build up to the next PPV which is called No Way Out. We all know that John Cena will be facing Big Show. There will be other matches announced in the coming weeks. We also know that WWE Raw will be three hours in July. This might not be a good WWE Raw but we will see. Here’s WWE Raw.


Opening Segment: Big Show comes out to basically bitch at the audience and say that he will knock out Cena. Usual heel commentary.
(Big Show turning heel is kind of sad to see. We all knew it was coming and we all knew this was going to kill some time until Summer Slam. This actually was boring and sad to see. So I guess I will move on.)

Match#1: Alberto Del Rio vs. Santino Marella
Winner: Alberto Del Rio
(This was the result of what happened last Thursday with Ricardo Rodrigez vs. Santino Marella. This was a squash for ADR. He will be facing CM Punk for the WWE title at the PPV. It was ok to start Raw but lacked some pop. )

Match#2: Kofi Kingston and R-Truth vs. Dolph Ziggler and Jack Swagger – Tag Team Title Match
Winners: Little Jimmy in Paradise (Kofi and Truth)
(This was a good match. I love all the moving around. Not a slow match. We did see Ziggler finally walk away from Vickie and Swagger.)

Team Ace comes out to show the cover for the WWE 13 Video Game. It had Johnny Ace’s pic on it. CM Punk comes out to ruin the moment and show the real cover with has CM Punk on it. CM Punk tells them to clear the ring because he has a match.
(Thank you, CM Punk for getting Team Ace out the ring because we don’t need to hear them speak. Also, thank you for showing us the cover to the video game because it is not going to sell any games with Johnny Ace on the cover.)

Match#3: CM Punk vs. Daniel Bryan – Non Title WWE Title Match
Winner: Daniel Bryan
(This was a good match to watch. I loved everything about this match. Both these guys put on a great match. Even AJ came out to support CM Punk. Kane came to ruin the after match but it was good to see all three guys active. )

Match#4: The Miz vs. Christian – Non Title IC Match.
Winner: Christian
(This was a good match even though both these guys should be main eventers. Cody Rhodes came out to talk about getting the IC title back but that made me want to see some of the young kids go for this title not The Miz, Christian or even Cody Rhodes. This was good to watch but said to see these guys in mid card hell. )



Match#5: David Otunga vs. Sheamus – Non Title WHC Title Match.
Winner: Sheamus
(This was a squash match for Sheamus. Otunga is basically a joke. He’s worse than Jonathan Coachman. Sheamus will be having more competition once we get closer to the PPV. This was a sad match. )

Main Event: Big Show vs. Brodus Clay
Winner: No Contest.
(This was to show how bad ass Big Show is now. There was no Cena and even seeing R-Truth and Kofi try to help Brodus Clay was sad. This was sad to watch but also because all the guys were laid out and decimated. This was a shitty way to end the show. )


Final Thoughts: Most of the show was good but the beginning and the end basically sucked. This was a shitty WWE Raw. I can imagine if this was a three hour show that I would have to end my watching at 10pm just to have a life. I hope TNA will be better this week. I also pray that WWE Smackdown is better but that’s hoping a lot. Until TNA Impact, see you all soon.
