WWE Raw Review 1/28/13

Note: This is the show after the PPV. Last night I should have gone HAM after seeing what Vince wanted people to see. Why Vince did you screw us and make us have to see another Rock/Cena match? Why did you fuck over the fans? Well this show is going to either explain why or I might have to give up on WWE. Here's WWE Raw and the Raw Roulette.


Opening Segment: Paul Heyman and CM Punk comes out to show their frustration about last night's PPV. Vince comes out and he wants to talk to Paul Heyman about his actions last night at the PPV.
(CM Punk was pissed. This was good to start the show. I am unhappy to see him without the title. I am going to be happy to see him try to get the title back soon. As for Heyman, he might be fired tonight.)

Match#1: Randy Orton vs. Antonio Cesaro with The Miz as Special Referee
Winner: Randy Orton
(This was a good match even with the gimmick. Other than that, it was to setup the feud with Cesaro and The Miz. Like the feud but we all know that The Miz will be U.S. champ soon.)

Match#2: Bo Dallas vs. Wade Barrett
Winner: Bo Dallas
(This was big. I loved this match. Good way to make a star in the process by making him take on a champ. Love the action and also the way this could be good for the IC title picture.)

Match#3: John Cena vs. Cody Rhodes
Winner: John Cena
(Boring...........)

Cena's Speech After The Match: He challenges The Rock. The Shield takes him out and also takes out Ryback and Sheamus.
(This was better than the boring Cena match. The Shield came out and laid waste to all the face. We all know that the Shield is getting better as the new heel faction.)

Match#4: Alberto Del Rio vs. Big Show - Body Slam Challenge
Winner: No Contest
(This was not boring because Big Show made this a tense moment. We saw him take out ADR and RR in one shot. He was a beast. It was scary to see him take both men out in less than 10 minutes. This was epic. Thank you Big Show for showing us you are not a fucking joke.)

Match#5: Tamina Snuka vs. Kaitlyn - Lumberjill Match
Winner: No Contest
(This was a total sexfest. We saw the Divas in costume and we saw a huge catfight. There was someone that had a mishap with their outfit. Basically, I saw Kaitlyn. Loved that........)

The Rock's Championship Celebration: The Rock celebrated. CM Punk comes out to challenge The Rock at the next PPV.
(This segment had one point......Punk Ass Bitch! We are no longer in the era of PG but TV 14. Nothing else could be said because we know this is a shield to mask that we will see Cena and Rock go again for Wrestlemania. )

Match#6: Sheamus vs. Damien Sandow - Tables Match
Winner: Sheamus
(Best damn match of the night! No bullshit on this one. This made me so happy to see a Tables match on TV. This was old school and very violent. I know there was no blood but we did see carnage. Sheamus and Sandow were all over the ring and we had tables all over. I was hearing Bodies singing in my head from them throwing each other all over. This was the best thing on TV. Thank you WWE for coming back to TV 14.)

Match#7: Team Hell No vs. Dolph Ziggler and Chris Jericho - Strange Bedfellows Match
Winner: Team Hell No
(This was a good way to set up the main event. This match was funny because both teams were acting up. The whole match was good to see because it is a sign that we are getting rid of the kid friendly bullshit of the PG era. By the way, Team Hell No is going to break up soon. Damn it........)

Main Event: Vince McMahon and Paul Heyman are in the ring. We see evidence that Paul Heyman is the leader of the Shield. Vince was about to fire him but Brock Lesnar comes out and takes out Vince with an F-5. Show ends.
(Best ending ever. There was nothing wrong with the ending. Thank you Brock for coming back. Thank you Vince for being Vince. Paul Heyman is not going anywhere. So happy to see something good on WWE TV again.)


Matches I Omitted: I did omit the bullshit with Ryback and Prime Time Players because it was stupid and wasted my time. I also omitted Tensai and Brodus Clay in a dance off because it was sad to see Tensai become a jobber in less than five months. I did not mention the karioke segment with Zack Ryder, Great Khali and Hornswoggle because it was garbage.


Final Thoughts: The end of this show makes up for the shitty ending for the Royal Rumble. So we will see Rock/Cena 2. However it is for the title. Which means Cena will be back on top after April. Big Show and ADR is heating up but Ziggler will cash in soon. Also we will see a Y2J/Ziggler match either for the WHC title or the MITB case. Also I cannot wait to see the clusterfuck that will occur for the IC title. Basically, the end helped the show. Thank you Brock and Paul for saving the show. See you all for another taped TNA Impact.
