Loved Rock/Cena/Miz.  They should just get it over with and turn Cena heel.  They're probably laying the groundwork for next year's Rock/Cena match.

Am I the only one who gets a kick out of CM Punk calling Randy Orton "Randall?"

Really liked the three segments everyone is talking about.

Rock/Miz/Cena was the pick for me. Cena has really been a stand out for me in these promos since the Rocks return. The great thing about Cena is i believe every word that comes out of his mouth as truth... no games... no script, exactly how he feels. Personally despite being one of my favourites of all time, The Rock has looked a little 2nd best to Cena over the last few weeks (just my opinion)

Miz was great and i hope he retains and goes on to a great and extended feud with Morrison, gets better everytime i see him and to think some people questioned his ability and worthyness as a champion. Surely these have now been put to rest.

The reception for Rock was incredible. One of the biggest i've heard.

Personally i think turning Cena heel is kinda pointless. He is already booed by half the fans and i like that he is just him, and some like it and some don't. Creates a great atmosphere IMO!

I also think that putting Taker vs HHH on last would be a travesty IMO. Cena vs Miz has to go on last as the build-up has been brilliant and would reward Miz especially for his stellar work for the last year and as my usual philosophy i'd like to see someone new headline. Taker and HHH have done it before.

One the subject of HHH/Taker... i'm sure that the majority are convinced that Taker will win, but i would be furious if the streak ended with HHH. What would the point of that be? Plus Taker will at least get to 20-0 and the only way the streak ends is if Taker wants it too.

Yeah I agree with AMM

I mean i love seeing HBK and I love seeing the Rock, but in too many ways it takes the focus off who is in the match. Cause now, i want two triple threat matches. Taker,HHH,HBK  and then main event of Miz,Rock,Cena. Gonna be a letdown just to see Rock do a run in.


I also guarantee u, this is gonna be a repeat of Mike Tyson/DX/Stone Cold

Rock and Cena have been setting up Miz all a long and Rock will nail Miz leading to Cena title win.

Anyone else think Cena kind of had a point in what he said to The Rock, about him coming out every week as himself and a lot of The Rock's criticisms were not that legitimate?

I still love The Rock, and find him highly entertaining, but I think Cena held his own on Raw.

Hell yeah! Every word Cena says is the truth about the Rock. and really Rock has nothing to come back with.

Cena has been there week in week out and has spearheaded the toughest era WWE has ever had IMO. Thats the beauty of this tit for tat. Everyone expected Rock to come back and Slaughter Cena in terms of reaction and promos. But that just hasn't happened.

In fact Miz and Cena have been the star turns as far as i'm concerned. The reception the Rock gets are amazing and he deserves them. But Rock just simply has not been in the building enough compared to Cena & Miz.

When Rock said he was back... i was suprised how little he has been on RAW. Gave Cena and Miz ammo in the War of words.

It comes across as the Rock still views WWE as his second working priority and once the hype of his return dies down, i think people will start to question his role, unless he is on RAW at least 3 out of 4 weeks.

Exactly my thoughts. This just wont work unless Rock sticks around. I mean think about January next year. Is there any point in Cena being in the Rumble?

Just seems odd. Got to be honest if Rock just goes away now i'd be very disappointed in him and WWE.

And if he sticks around is he gonna fight other people? Maybe the Corre, maybe put him on SD away from Cena? no idea!

Rock is making movies this summer, so I doubt we'll see much of him here on out.

I think you bring in the Rock 2 or 3times in the next year and just build the fued. Seriously tis could be the storyline and fued of the decade. A great well told story to save wrestling.

Wouldn't be surprised if The Rock costs Cena the Royal Rumble.

That opening segment between Truth and Morrison was kinda weird. Both were acting a bit heel-ish at points. And some of the stuff they were talking about was really random. Truth drank some water last week during the Gauntlet Match? And? Hasn't The Rock done that about a hundred times before? And the thing about Truth being a smoker. Just.... random and out of nowhere. And Morrison, the one who seemed to be doing most of the provoking and taunting wasn't the one who ended up turning heel....

Cole's segment went on a bit too long again though. For a feud between two non-regular wrestlers, this has certainly been going on for a while. Surely the Extreme Rules match will be the end??....

Punk and Orton put on a good match though. Also cool to hear the Nexus music again after so long. ;D

Weird as it was.  I liked the segment.  But they cut it short early.  We never got to see Truth blowing smoke in JoMo's face :(

I'll be honest.  I actually fast forwarded the segment.  A feud with 4 guys, 3 of who are non wrestlers (lets be honest, Lawler is retired)

I'd guess they are setting in place the future split.  With Punk being Trips.  And Mason being Batista.  You see that tension between them?  Built up slowly, and well, that could be magic and the making of Ryan.

Wasn't the best RAW. Hasn't been the same for me since Shawn Michaels left. As stupid as the Cole/Lawler/J.R./Swagger angle is, I must admit I can't wait to see J.R. get his hands on Michael Cole at Extreme Rules. I predict a stiff shot or two.  :hihi: Besides if this angle gives us nothing, but results in bringing J.R. back to the announce table in at least a semi-permanent basis (although honestly, it's unlikely) it will all be worth it.
