Note: This is the official first WWE Raw of 2013. This is the much hyped return of The Rock. This is the episode that sets up the events of the Royal Rumble PPV. It should be said that this is WM time. We got three months until the much hyped WM29 in the NY/NJ. So hold on and let's watch the first WWE Raw of 2013. Here we go...........
Opening Segment: John Cena vs. AJ Lee, Big E Langston, and Dolph Ziggler
(Well let's start with the fact that AJ Lee and Dolph Ziggler is the new power couple so to speak. As for Big E Langston, well I hope he stays in the main roster because he is going to be a star. I just hope he does not end up in mid card hell. As for Cena, well it is said to see him feud with someone that is not on his level yet. Basically this is how WWE got Cena out of the title picture for a while. Also he is not able to face The Rock again.)
Match#1: Dolph Ziggler vs. John Cena
Winner: John Cena
(This was not a fair match. I think Cena is trying to kill the heat of Ziggler. He should be WHC by now. He's not because of Cena. This was a bullshit match because Cena is basically a trying to kill heat from popular people. He tried to do that with CM Punk. He is doing that with Ziggler. Hell, he killed Zack Ryder. So this was not a good way to start the show but I barely watched this match.)
Match#2 - WWE Divas Title Match: Kaitlyn vs. Eve Torres
Winner by Count Out: Kaitlyn
(OMG!!!!!! Why is Kaitlyn being cheated out of the Divas title? Why is WWE trying to keep this bullshit title on Eve? I just watched this match to see sexy Kaitlyn. I want to see her win the title and be a true womans champ. I think WWE is trying to kill popular people to make their people look good. Basically, this was a bullshit match. So fucking pissed.)
Match#3: Cody Rhodes and Damien Sandow vs. Kane and Daniel Bryan
Winners: Damien Sandow and Cody Rhodes
(Good news is that we will see a title change soon. Better news is that Team Rhodes Scholars should be tag champs right now. Bad news is that Team Hell No is still around and we will see Dr. Shelby come back next week. This match was boring because we have seen this match over and over. Also, I find it funny that they brought back Dr. Shelby.)
Match#4: Heath Slater vs. Randy Orton
Winner: Randy Orton
(Where to begin with this sad excuse of a match? So RKO is about to join the ranks of mid card hell. 3MB is the rock band of mid card hell. This was a showcase of mid card hell. So why did I watch this shitty match? I didn't. I did see the end. This is why I think RKO needs to be heel and made a WHC title contender. I know it is going to happen this year.)
Match#5: Wade Barrett vs. Santino Marella
Winner: Wade Barrett
(This was a wasted match. Why? Because it was sad to see Barrett do shit like this. This was bullshit. Moving on.)
Match#6: The Great Khali vs. Antonio Cesaro
Winner: Antonio Cesaro
(This is another wasted match. I saw this shit on Smackdown. Moving on.)
Match#7: Sheamus vs. Jinder Mahal
Winner: Sheamus
(Not only is RKO about to be a mid carder but Sheamus is about to join him. This was bullshit. Moving on. )
Match#8 - TLC Match for the WWE Title: Ryback vs. CM Punk
Winner: CM Punk
(So I guess CM Punk will face The Rock for the title at Royal Rumble. Well I guess Ryback is back to be a jobber killer. This match was good for a TV match. There was usage of all three items. The Shield did come to save CM Punk. So does this make me happy? No! I think it was a great match but cheapen by the Shield. Also, it was bullshit that the Shield killed Ryback as a main eventer. So the match was ok but could have been better.)
Match#9: Kofi Kingston vs. Big Show
Winner: Big Show
(Big Show is a big bad ass motherfucker. So legitimately, he is not going to be beaten. This match basically made two points: Big Show needs competition and Kofi is back in mid card hell. That's it for this match. )
Main Event: Confrontation with The Rock and CM Punk.
(Let me summarize this whole segment in one word: Overhyped. This was like watching what kids do while playing on WWE 12 or WWE 13. This was basically a joke of a main event/closing segment. The Rock basically was in cruise control and CM Punk was overselling everything. This is so unlike either of these men. Basically, WWE is about to fuck up already in 2013. CM Punk is about to be a joke as a champ. The Rock is basically about to job to CM Punk. This is so fucking sad. )
Final Thoughts: Was I disappointed with this episode of WWE Raw? Fuck yeah, I am. This was hyped to be the show of all shows for 2013. This was bullshit for the most part. What the fuck? So we got the Rock back to WWE? Ok cool but he is going to be hyping his movies. CM Punk is still champ but for how much longer. Cena is killing Ziggler. Sheamus and RKO are basically dying in the madness. So basically, I am going to move on and hope for better in 2013. I guess I hope TNA will be better in 2013 but we will see.
