From wwe.com:

Last week, Triple H returned to WWE and handed down perhaps the worst beating Brock Lesnar has ever suffered in WWE. What will unfold when The Game comes to Raw in Buffalo, N.Y.?

Also coming to Raw is WWE Champion The Rock. Will he cross paths with his WrestleMania 29 opponent, John Cena?





Where does CM Punk go from here?


For more than a year, CM Punk stood atop the mountain as WWE Champion. He held onto the prestigious title for 434 days, making him the longest-reigning WWE Champion of the last 25 years. (CHARTING PUNK’S REIGN). Last week, Punk lost a WrestleMania No. 1 Contender’s Match to John Cena. With just a month to go, can the former WWE Champion find a way to showcase his talents on The Grandest Stage of Them All?


What will Zeb Colter say next?


Ever since Jack Swagger returned to WWE with Zeb Colter at his side, controversy has surrounded the outspoken duo. Their views even caught the attention of media personality Glenn Beck. But Beck hid from WWE when offered a chance to respond on Raw. What will Colter have to say next?


Will The Shield strike back against The Viper?


Last week, The Shield dismissed the recent efforts of Ryback, Sheamus, Chris Jericho, John Cena and Team Hell No — who had thus far tried and failed to stop their reign of terror. When The Celtic Warrior delivered an open challenge to the men in black, Randy Orton lashed out with an RKO on an unsuspecting Seth Rollins.


wwe.com said:
“The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase, Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes and “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan will be among the WWE Legends to appear on a special “Old School” edition of Raw, WWE.com has learned.


It remains to be seen what these WWE Hall of Famers will have in store when Raw turns back the clock Monday night, but it’s clear the WWE Universe is in for excitement as ring icons mingle with today’s Superstars on one of the most unpredictable and nostalgia-laden stops on The Road to WrestleMania.

Who else will drop in on the festivities when WWE goes “Old School” on Monday Night Raw? To find out, tune in at 8/7 CT, only on USA Network.
Looking forward to some nostalgic appearances from Flair and DiBiase. PLEASE give us UNDERTAKER this week!

Great/decent/good/watchable things:

Rock/Cena segment was incredible, I was actually surprised by the direction of it because the moment Cena interrupted Rock I thought it was going to be the same desperate attempt to get the crowd on Cena's side with the positioning in the promos but they threw all that aside, they realized that it's not going to change anything, they let Rock be the master that he is, Cena was decent and they delivered a legit money promo to sell the match with a structured story. Great.

HHH's promo was good, the "retirement" angle he did a few months ago is still completely unnecessary but at least he somewhat explained the reason for it in the context of the promo. But even with that, this rematch with Brock still has no actual reason to happen besides giving HHH a win over Lesnar.

Taker's return was a good way to start the show, I guess they're saving his first promo for next week but I didn't like the way they just randomly announced that a winner of a match is going to get a match with Taker at WM.

Ric Flair.

Overall, they could have done much better with the "Old School RAW" concept but with one great segment in Rock/Cena and big star power in the WM hype, it was a decent show.

What a weak ass segment.

Last year they wanted to kill eachother, now they're best friends who disagree on who's going to win.

Fuck. Your WWE Championship Main Event for Wrestlemania, folks.

Yes it is.


This RAW should be decent.

No, not at all. In fact, I'm still holding out hope that 'Taker doesn't come back at all & misses 'Mania completely. It's bad enough that Wrestlemania is going to be sold on two rematches, I don't want them to add a third match that I don't give a fuck about at the top of the card too. Shit, they want people to sit through Del Rio/Swagger as well?

I honestly think I'll just skip Wrestlemania this year. I have no idea who is clamoring for ANY of those matches. Even most marks don't care about Rock/Cena again.
