I AM SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THE ROCK VS. JOHN CENA BUILD! :mark:


I guess the moment of truth if Taker and/or Trips are going to work Mania we will find out on this episode. I can totally see Punk continuing on his delusional path proclaiming that since his historic reign was destroyed he will now destroy the historic Streak at Mania. That's one route they could go with it.

Wonder what's next for The Shield after that impressive match and victory over the Superfriends...



wwe.com said:
NEW ORLEANS — Justice, as prophesied by Dean Ambrose, was ultimately delivered at WWE Elimination Chamber. In a six-man collision between WWE’s top Superstars and its most menacing alliance, The Shield withstood the dream team of John Cena, Ryback and Sheamus, live at the New Orleans Arena.

Neither the NBA’s Eastern nor Western All-Star squads could rival the veritable “super team” of Cena, Sheamus and Ryback — the 12-time World Champion heading to the main event of WrestleMania 29, the powerhouse Celtic Warrior who held the World Heavyweight Title for much of 2012, and the white-hot rookie who’s ravenously dined upon competition. But on the grim stage of WWE’s Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, the Superstar trio stood an endangered species while in the sights of their jackal-like opposition, The Shield.

Cena, Sheamus and Ryback employed powerhouse plays like synchronized suplexes and more to wear down their rebel rivals across all four corners of the ring and beyond. Resilient as ever, The Shield countered with ruthlessness and their signature “divide and conquer” technique to decimate Sheamus (who was speared through the barricade), and then outnumber their opponents. The sum total of their scheme: Ryback took the crushing final hit and losing pinfall … and he wasn’t at all happy about it.

Impressive and chillingly vicious, the riot gear–garbed Shield aimed to exact a mission of reparation for a supposed “decade of injustice.” Prime targeted, Cena’s assembled force combatted a group that has torn through an entire roster of competitors, from Team Hell No to Brodus Clay and Tensai, since its debut in November.

Perhaps no two men were more so wronged by The Shield’s brand of righteousness than Cena and Ryback, who both were deprived of the WWE Championship following the intervention of Ambrose, Rollins and Reigns in their first appearance at Survivor Series 2012.

That night, Shield secretly served CM Punk; at WWE Elimination Chamber, the horde’s plot came full circle as they devastated Cena and Ryback (along with Sheamus) most definitively. The extent to which the Superstar constantly wanting to be fed more may have consumed more than even he can swallow from the triumvirate of insurgents.

The shade in the Del Rio/Swagger feud should also be interesting. We're headed toward Mania baby!

The Good

- ADR/Ziggler was a nice short match, even if it made no sense

- Swagger/Bryan was also a nice little match

- Henry is a beast

- the opening promo was pretty good, even Cena

- the closing promo was also good, and that might've been the best Rock has been in a few weeks. Playing up to the crowd without sucking them off or pulling out the lame jokes. The new belt is alright, much better than the last one. And it seems like they might go for a Triple Threat after all.

- Jericho/SuperFriends vs Shield was a good match

- Zeb's State of the Union and Immigration thing. I like Swagger's character, it's something new and interesting. Too bad they've rushed him into the main event again though.



The Bad

- The commercial break cuts back to WWE ads for their shit which cuts back to a commercial. This is a joke.

- Wade Barrett shilling a movie that he's not even in. Or is he some random background goon? Who cares. And what the fuck was up with Seamus' interruption? Then they cut off Barrett so the announcers could play with toys. The most awkward and senseless segment they've had in a while. That was completely lazy and unprofessional.

- Orton vs Kane. Nobody cares.

- I love Paul Heyman but didn't care for the Vickie/Heyman/Vince drama. And I don't like Vince as a face. After everything he's done we're supposed to cheer this guy? :kobe I know this is wrestling but come on, a line has to be drawn somewhere.

- Really hope we aren't heading for a Khali/Henry feud



Overall RAW was good at parts and overall, relatively good. A few steps down from the past two weeks but not as bad as it could've been. I can't say I feel excited for Wrestlemania at all though.

Filler Raw pretty much. Felt sorry for the fans and don't blame them at all for being a bit dead. They were told within 10 minutes of the show going on the air that a big match they wanted to see was happening next week. Then they were told just an hour later that another big match was happening next week. I know if I had paid money to be there I'd be pissed.

I guess the RTWM officially begins....next week lol. Maybe we'll get the ball rolling eventually.
