WWE Raw Review 10/15/12

Note: After the ending of last week's WWE Raw, I hope for good things. I hope CM Punk will pick someone to face. I also hope to see something good after being letdown at the TNA PPV. So here's WWE Monday Night Raw............

Opening Segment: Big Show cuts a big promo against Sheamus and the last few weeks. He then calls out Daniel Bryan because of his short 45 seconds. In the back, Daniel Bryan sees the challenge and reluctantly goes out.

Match#1: Big Show vs. Daniel Bryan
Winner: Big Show
(Big Show basically decimated DB. This was a way to stop people from talking about the 45 second title reign of Big Show. This was still fun to see. Kane comes out to protect DB. It was a sad thing to see that Kane is turning face again. What was the point of getting him back in the mask? Good match, shitty ending.)

In Ring: CM Punk does a promo about who he has to pic for HIAC PPV, last week, and also other things. CM Punk was about to say who he is going to face at HIAC but changes him mind . Vince McMahon comes out and says there will be a contract signing with either Ryback/Cena vs. CM Punk.
(I will wait for the contract signing to speak of this. I think Vince is coming on Raw because of the rating. )

Match#2: Brodus Clay vs. Alberto Del Rio
Winner:  Alberto Del Rio
(This was a mess. Brodus is a jobber with two hoes. ADR is gearing up to face Orton. This was a quick jobber match. WTF! I know it is not 1994 and this is not like watching The Goon vs. The Mountie. WTF! )

Match#3: Santino Marella and Zack Ryder vs. Prime Time Players
Winners: Prime Time Players
(So Santino and Zack Ryder are jobbers together now. I guess this and the last match would be good use of the mid carders. The Band came in to beat up on Zack Ryder. I just laughed so hard that I peed. What the fuck! )


Match#4: Dolph Ziggler and David Otunga vs. Ryback
Winner: Ryback
(Well Dolph can sell anything. David can job to anyone. Ryback is a jobber killer. So that equals a huge jobber match. This was a fun match to see. What kills me was this was Ziggler left Otunga to job alone. So this was a cute match to see. Ryback was fed and burped.)

Match#5: Antonio Cesaro vs. Justin Gabriel
Winner: Antonio Cesaro
(This was boring to see. I think it is because Cesaro is not a good draw. This was like a slow churn of a match. So I am moving on.)

Match#6: Kane vs. Matt Stryker
Winner:  Kane
(A.J. Lee set this up. Stryker has not wrestled in WWE in years. They did hug it out but then Kane basically choked him then tried to interview him. This is sad to see because Kane is back to being a joke. However, this was funny to see.)


Miz TV Segment: Kofi Kingston and The Miz trade jabs. Kofi wants a match tonight. The Miz accepts. This will be a warm up for the title match on Main Event.
(This is was a good segment. I think that their match will be good. Will speak more on it on Main Event this week.)

Match#7: Sheamus vs. Wade Barrett - Smackdown Rematch
Winner: Sheamus by DQ
(Big Show was at ringside. This was a fight. Like last week on Smackdown, this ended with a DQ. This match at the PPV is going to be a good match only because of the build up to it. I am hoping this will make the WHC title more legit. Big Show is the man, and I respect him. I also think that Dolph will fuck up a wet dream and be the new WHC. )

Match#8: Layla vs. Eve Torres - Divas Title Match
Winner: Eve Torres
(This was a shock to see. I know this is only because of the messy storyline with Eve, Layla and Kaitlin. This was a messy match to see because Eve can't really wrestle. Layla is not good but she can do some good moves. Layla got screwed out of the title. Eve is still the champ. Why?)

Match#9: Rhodes Scholars vs. Primo and Epico
Winners: Rhodes Scholars
(Well next week we will see the finals of the tag team tournament. Rey Mysterio is sick. Sin Cara got a day off. This was a sad match. I cannot wait until next week. So I guess this is a gimmie match. So we move on to the next match. Sorry but this was a fucking boring match.)

Match#10: The Miz vs. Kofi Kingston
Winner: Kofi Kingston
(Kofi kicked the shit out of Miz. DAMN!!!!!! This match just got real for Main Event. Damn! Kofi is getting hardcore of Miz. This might be a good match. Wow.)

Main Event: CM Punk, John Cena, Ryback, Vince McMahon, and Paul Heyman. Contract signing. Ryback vs. Cena at Hell In A Cell!
(I am shocked that Ryback got the nod to face Punk. Either because Cena is not ready or we might see a title change. Unlike Goldberg who had won a title before moving up to the main event. Ryback is getting pushed to quick and hard. CM Punk might win at the PPV but then again, I will be shocked.)

Final Thoughts: The first hour was better than it has been. The second hour was also good. The final hour was good as well. There were some messy matches and also segments. Kane killing Stryker was not something I wanted to see. Watching Layla and Eve was like watching actresses fake fight. This was a good show only because Vince was there. So until Thursday for TNA Impact, remember to never let Kofi kick the shit out of you.
