We saw the return of Wade Barrett but that turned out to be more #BadNews
A new Sin Cara with ink
Kofi & Miz not getting along..... wait what week is it?
of course RAW finished with the usual contract signing nonsense.
WWE Raw 02-12-2013 live from Oklahoma City,
Raw opened with C.M. Punk making his entrance.
Punk wondered why The Shield attacked him. Stephanie McMahon walked out and denied any involvement. She said they had bigger things to deal with. So Punk Should Talk to Kane.
Kane and bored the fans shitless Punk asked when Kane became "the big red ass kisser." Punk told him to come to the ring and get knocked out. Kane was stopped by steph. Boring.
Punk grabbed a chair as the shield made there the way to the ring Steph called out for The Shield to stop. she said. "C.M. Punk is to be respected and admired." Kane announced Punk vs. The Shield in a handicap match for the TLC pay-per-view.
James's Thought: Steph Finally Got Something right Punk is admired.
James's Thought: (2) Now we have handicap matches on pay-per-views? WTF
We got in to the wrestling
Ziggler vs. Sandow for an IC Title shot at TLC. Big E Was on commentary. Big E said he would prefer to face Ziggler.
Another match where two deserving stars are been under used by the wwe. but all together yet another good match.
Damien Sandow wins the IC match at WWE TLC.
Next up was
A.J. Lee, Tamina, and Summer Rae vs. Natalya and The Bella Twins.
Just More pointless Divas Shit
Natalya and The Bella Twins Won But seriously who cares.
"Bad News" Barrett. Barrett stood at a podium. He said the good news is they are live on Raw, but the bad news is they are stuck in an arena with hillbillies and overweight miscreants who named their city after their state just so they could remember it. At the end, a graphic popped up with the hashtag for Bad News Barrett.
So wade is Back The Bad New barrett thing is a new package but to me its another reworking I Can remember bad news brown.
Orton told Brad Maddox to tell The Authority that he is the greatest superstar. Orton said his name is bigger than Cena's, and that he is even bigger than WWE itself. Maddox said nothing
Daniel Bryan made his entrance and did the Yes! bit on the way out.
I found it odd for the kidnapping victim to be leading Yes! chants.
Daniel Bryan vs. Erick Wrongen (w/Luke Harper). good match great offensive from both. Bryan slipped away and rolled up Rowan for the win...
After the match, Bray told his men to stand down. Wyatt said his men would not hurt Bryan unless he told them to.
Another great Promo From Wyatt.
Backstage, Kane congratulated Bryan on his win. He said that since Bryan is friends with Punk, it's only right that he faces the same challenge. Kane booked Bryan vs. The Wyatt Family in a handicap match.
Next Up
R-Truth and Xavier Woods vs. Brodus Clay and Tensai (w/Cameron, Naomi). Clay slammed Woods a couple times
Later, Clay splashed Woods in the corner,Woods rolled him up and got the win. Clay seemed Pissed.
ADR vs. Sin Cara. Cara suddenly has a shoulder tattoo. JBL said Sin Cara looked better than ever. Del Rio missed his corner kick. Sin Cara followed up with a Swanton and scored the pin.
Sin Cara defeated ADR
Renee Young interviewed John Cena, who made references to Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan while talking about the lineage of the two World Titles. He said the fans deserve one champion.
The Shield delivered a promo from a dark storage area.
Big Show, Goldust, and Cody Rhodes vs. Seth Rollins, Roman Reigns, and Dean Ambrose in a six-man tag. Big Show controlled the early portion of the match.
Show slapped to the chest of Reigns, who Hit back with a slap of his own. Show no-sold it and gave Reigns another slap to the chest. C.M. Punk was watching the match backstage.
This Add a big fight feel to it and all the stars delivered,
The Shield defeated Big Show, Goldust, and Cody Rhodes in 20:40.
Renee Young interviewed C.M. Punk about facing The Shield in a handicap match. Punk said he is going down and he knows it. "The question is how many of The Shield am I taking with me".
Another Bad News Barrett segment it feels like they are struggling for ideas with some stars but the handle could be good for barrett.
Backstage, Kofi and Miz shook hands. apprently they put aside their differences for a match against Ryback and Curtis Axel.
Kofi Kingston and The Miz vs. Ryback and Curtis Axel. The crowd chanted "you can't wrestle" while Ryback was in the ring.
this was just a segment filler between 4 wrestlers who people really just dont have no intrest in at all.
Ryback and Curtis Axel defeated Kofi Kingston and The Miz
Los Matadores got the merchandise pimping spot Damn they went down hill fast.
Mark Henry vs. Fandango (w/Summer Rae). Henry dominated the early part of the match
Henry missed a splash in the corner. Fandango performed a DDT for a two count. Henry came back with clotheslines and the World's Strongest Slam for the win...
Mark Henry Beat Fandango
The Real Americans (w/Zeb Colter) vs. The Prime Time Players. Colter cut a promo about how PTP now stands for Prime Time Pukers.
Another Good Showing For the Real Americans. epic moves from The Real Americans.
The Real Americans defeated The Prime Time Players in 6:45.
Triple H and Stephanie McMahon made their entrance. it was shockingly quiet. Triple H hyped the TLC main event and said the winner will walk out the champion. Stephanie said definitively that there will be one winner. "We guarantee it,"
Steph introduced Orton and then Cena. Cole said only Ric Flair has held more World Championships than Cena.
Triple H said this was a match that they had been planning for a long time. He said they had to know that both men walking into the match could carry on as the face of WWE. "We have reached that time with two great champions,
cena hit the Attitude Adjustment on Orton through the other table. Cena held up both title belts to close the show...
Overall, this was a better effort than we've seen from WWE but they still need to do better because the product is still seriously lagging. on the upside they have already announced more matches for TLC than they did for Survivor series.
i still really doubt that they will be one clear winner at TLC IN THE TITLE MATCH but if there is unfortunatley i believe John Cena Will be the winner.
thanks for reading.
James
