RAW started off with a Video timeline of Kane vs. John Cena.

Eve is talking with the The Bella Twins and ask about Zack Ryder. Eve insults Zack Ryder and says she was using him to get to John Cena and now that she has hooked the big fish she is going to use him. Everyone is talking about EVE and Zack Ryder could not even get to first base with Zack and is a loser. She states everyone use's everyone in this world. She wanted The Bella Twins to video her walking into John Cena's Locker room and The Bella's are completely shocked about all of it. Eve turns around and John Cena is right there. He looks at her and walks away.

John Cena walks to the ring and celebrates his win against Kane. Eve comes down to the ring asking the crowd and John to let her speak and explain. She said it was taken out of context. John Cena interrupts and says she has said enough. She has been sipping the skank juice and wants to use her assets to further herself and her career.

Eve begs John Cena to let her explain herself more because they are friends and John Cena once again interrupts and claims he lost a friend in Zack Ryder because of her and in essence lost a Broski because of a Hoeski. The Crowd chants "Hoeski" and John Cena wants to hear it! Eve says they were joking around and having fun. John Cena laughs more and says she should hold out for his WrestleMania Opponent The Rock because she and The Rock are both "scandalous bitches."

Eve acts like she is trying to cry and gets on her knees while the crowd chants "Howski" again. John Cena does try to console her before she leaps up and tries to face sex him. Referees come in to get EVE off of him and John Cena gets on the mic one more time to tell her that he is disease free and would like to remain that way before walking away.

They all leave the ring before heading to a commercial break.

Sheamus vs. Mark Henry takes place with Mark Henry taking control early before Sheamus woks on his legs. Sheamus begins to take over for a little bit as a result. I would like to point out that a member of the crowd shouted to Micheal Cole to shut up. Mark Henry traps Sheamus in the corner but counters and attacks. The Ref gets involved. Sheamus misses the first Brogue Kick and Mark Henry goes for The World's Strongest Slam but is also counted. Sheamus hits the kick this time and gets the win.

Overall: It was a decent bout to start off the night. Statement match to Daniel Bryan.

Backstage segment with John Laurinaitis and David Otunga. Teddy Long comes in and means business. Laurinaitis says that he did not know he would get support from superstars. Teddy says that having only one man run both shows is a good idea ad should be decided by the fans. John responds with not caring what they think and only cares about the Board of Directors. He also says that he is the better man and taller than Teddy Long.

Teddy Long ask's him if he knows what a compost is and tells him it is a pile of manure and did not know it can be staked that high. John Laurinaitis laughs and announces a 10 man Battle Royal match with he winner facing C.M. Punk at WrestleMania. 5 stars from RAW and Smackdown will be chosen. David Otunga chimes in by asking Teddy Long if he thought Smackdown Superstars were better than RAW's. Teddy Long replies with No, but any of his stars are better than him. John gets in the way and states he can take on anyone from Smackdown and win. Teddy agrees and ask's David what is up with his Boe Tie because he looks like Pee-Wee Herman's Fairy GodMother.

Tag Team match is up next.

Epico and Primo vs. R-Truth and Kofi Kingsten.

The Match is back and forth between R-Truth and both Epico and Primo. Kofi is finally tagged in and cleans house. R-Truth and Epico battled outside the ring while Kofi got the win with Trouble In Paradise.

Overall: Same as the first match of the night. Decent bout and was quick.

WWE announces and does a video about Ron Simmons getting into the Hall Of Fame.

Chris Jericho gets interviewed about what happened at the Elimination Chamber PPV. He states it is unfair the way he was taken out of the match and insults C.M. Punk. He still believes he is the best in the world at what he does. He will win the Battle Royal.

John Laurinaitis and David Otunga make their way to the ring for the match. Teddy Long and Ezekiel Jackson come to the ring.

Davis Otunga vs. Ezekiel Jackson.

Otunga takes the control of the match from the early going. Jackson begins laying down power moves to weaken Otguna but gets caught into a huge pick up slam for the win.

Overall: it was a time waster ti say the least. The moves however were pretty impressive.

WWE plays the video of Shawn Micheals and Triple H confrontation last week.

Undertaker does his epic entrance to the ring and stares at the WrestleMania XXVIII sign. He is still in his robe. The lights are still darkened. The Crowd chants his name before taking the microphone. He has been living the memory of the beating he took last year. It has been a living hell. A Hell of uncertainty. He can no longer bear it. He came back because he wants to end the uncertainty forever by challenging Triple H just to get an answer of "No."

Hunter missed the point it is not his to make. This has to come to an end. They are on the verge of an apocalypse of wrestling. They are the last of their kind. The crowd cheers and pays their respects to the statement. The suit, the tie, the corporate liabilities are only layers to cover up who he truly is. They have to end the uncertainty. This is not something to lie about. He cannot lie to him. He will look him in the eyes. It is bigger than the both of them. It is the apocalypse.

Triple H's music hits in his suit and tie and makes his way to the ring. Triple H starts to speak and Undertaker tell him to shut up. The crowd cheers. He can save his pity because he does not need it. What is pitiful are the excuses he makes not to do this. Triple H tells him he knows about much he wants this and he is right. Their fate is not to end it however, but to carry it on. The WWE continues to live and Undertaker's fate is to be a leader for the next generation and lead the way. He will not be the one to extinguish the flame because its bad for business.

Undertaker wants Triple H to make something clear for him; it is bad for business that he is gone or that Triple H is gone. The crowd throws out an "ohhhhhhhhhhhh!" Triple H's response is that it is just plain bad for the WWE. He does get that Undertaker has been livening in uncertainty, but he has been livening in certainty. He is not asking for redemption or salvation or a shot at vengeance, but for an end. He knows what needs to be done and deep done that is exactly what Undertaker wants does it not? He refuses to do it. He wll not be the one who finish's it.

Undertaker says he could put whatever spins he want, but when he see's himself in the mirror, all he will see is a coward. Triple H is sick to death about hearing it. Triple H appears he was about to strike him but stops. He says what Tacker is doing will not work and tells him again "No." Triple H leaves.

Undertaker says he just figured it out. He knows Triple H could not do what Shawn Micheal's could not do because Shawn was always better than him. Triple H stopped at the top of the ramp and strips off his suit and shirt partly. He storms to the ring and stares at Undertaker. He ask's him if he actually thinks that? Triple H can do it and knows he can finish it. The crowd Chants "Prove it."

Does he think that the suit and tie hold him down? They are now gone and ask's him that if this is what he wants he has got it. One more thing before he leaves, since they do it, they will do it all the way, no return or uncertainty. No excuses, the streak will end, he will end, an era will end. He will face him under one condition; Hell In A Cell. Undertaker pats him on the shoulder, smiles and leaves. Metallica's "The Memory Remains" plays.

Weird.

Daniel Bryan vs. Santino.

The crowd chants for Santino as they go back and forth. Santino tries to take out the Cobera but gets blind cited. The match eventually ends with submission win by Bryan.

Overall: Pointless and a time waster.

Speaking of washing time, DIVAS MATCH.

Bella Twins vs. Kelly Kelly vs. Aksana.

Notes: Aksana did the worse elbow I have ever seen, they did the stupid switch as they always do, match lasted 1 minute.

Overall: Really?

John Cena comes out to the ring to speak to the people again.

John Cena says it is cold outside but will get hot in here. Before he was interrupted by the "Skankaponamus" he was going to talk about WrestleMania and The Rock. The guy who is here this week but will be net week. Crowd chants "Rocky." John says he used to love the chant and The Rock before he became "Dwayne" and went into film. He is no longer a peoples champion he is a champion with people. He has his own gang and explains how they protect him. He says he does not respect The Rock.

He respects Dwayne for what he has done in film but he has a legitimate beef with him and has been going for seven year. He makes fun of his own movies but he has always been there. The first chance Dwayne had a taste, he left. He came back to say he will never leave and than he left. He probably only came back to promote his movies and launch his twitter account. April 1st means everything because he is fighting for everyone in the locker room who wanted to be the WWE and stay a WWE superstar. That they are there to not just be superstars but be professional wrestlers.

The greatest thing about it will be is when he will be on RAW while The Rock will be on the movie set. He is going to have to kill him to beat him cause the headline will read that John Cena defeats The Rock in his hometown. He better be ready and he will see him there.

Ten-Man Battle Royal Main Event is up next. C.M. Punk is on commentary. (<3) Everyone is introduced.

It is really hard to describe the match so I will skip to the final four.

Santino, Cody Rhodes, Big Show, and Chris Jericho. Big Show picks them apart until Cody hits his kick on it, Chris Jericho its his Lionsault, and Satino his headbutt. Satino pulls out his cobera and hit Jericho with it but gets eliminated by Cody Rhodes. Big show eliminated Rhodes who the help Jericho eliminate the Big Show.

Overall: Wade Barrett appeared to have broken his arm from an outside incident and was carted away. The match itself was a good match but nothing special. I hope Wade Barrett is okey. I would really hate to see him miss WrestleMania as he is one of my favorite guys to watch.

C.M. Punk offers his hand to Chris Jericho after the match but Jericho refuses and leaves.

RAW this week was pretty good. The segments in the ring were spot on in entertainment and furthering the storylines. The matches for the most part were quick but most of them were good. Once again a case of sacrificing length of matches for building up the storylines but this week it was worth it.

The Rock will be at RAW next week, and if you ask me, I think Shawn Micheals will make an appearance as well providing the acceptance of the match like he wanted to hear. Not saying it will for sure, but I think he will.

With all of that said, that was RAW. What did you all think? Good, bad, decent? Let me know! How was the blog? Good, bad, horrible, crappy, needs some work? Let me know! I love reading what you have to say Mafia and responding!

Thanks for reading and see you all next week! =D

RAW was good tonight. It was definitely more solid than Elimination Chamber. EC seemed to have suffered from very weak transitions between the main matches. RAW tonight was much more solid by comparison.

Blog has been pretty good too. Just a visual thing, but if you want to play around a little bit, maybe you can add matches in bold. For instance, have the next line telling us the match:

Santino vs. Daniel Bryan

I think that will help those of us who may be looking for key points, after we've read your post.

Here are some other thoughts I had about tonight:

-Sheamus vs. Mark Henry. It was a good match in a lot of ways. Just last year, When Henry was working his Hall of Pain, Sheamus didn't stand a chance against him. However, you look at tonight, he not only held his own, but pretty near dominated the match. It did a lot of good in building up Sheamus towards Wrestlemania.

-Daniel Bryan vs. Santino. It was good for Bryan. It showed off his submission skills. His "burying" Santino will help bring heat towards him. It'll be exciting to see Punk vs. Bryan tomorrow though.

-Wade Barrett suffered a dislocated elbow. It's great news that it isn't broken, but he's definitely out for a little while. Don't know if he'll be healed up enough for Wrestlemania though. Real shame too. Cody, R Truth, Kofi, and Ziggler were also sporting injuries, but they don't appear to be too serious.

-Punk/Jericho is going to be an exciting match. People complain about how Royale Rumble ended, but I feel that if they didn't do it this way, the anticipation wouldn't be quite as high as it is right now.

-Undertaker/HHH part 3. Not only their last match, but in Hell in a cell too! I can tell you, that is WAY better than having HBK as special guest referee any day. They are running towards the end of their careers, but they are going to give us one hell of a last ride, and I can't wait for it. (the match is official, but idk if HBK will be involved or not)

-John Cena's promo. Easily the best promo he's given yet. I have understood some of the complaints he's gotten; about how he's gotten stale and whatnot. However, this promo felt special. You can feel he put his all into it, and you know he'll deliver what he promised.

I may be on the minority here, but I'm rooting for Cena. He's done a HELL of a job promoting this match, and building up to it. Especially given the fact that the Rock has been making movies the whole time. I'm not a fan of the poop jokes or his "Super Cena" mode (which I'm pretty sure he can beat Goku in that mode), but I am a fan of Cena the wrestler, and I hope he wins over Rock on April 1st.

btw, apparently Cena isn't the only one in WWE who feels the way he did. someone in WWE sent in an anonymous text to pwinsider. I'll just say that the Rock's involvement in this has been pretty much just to put himself over, as he has done nothing to help the WWE.

Keep up the good work, Kane. Been enjoying your reviews, and I look forward to next week. :D

AWWW Danke! :D It is always fun writing these. I do them live so I do my best with what I have at the time. I could always try to edit things down but I want to get it out as soon as I can for the few people who do read this.

Thanks for the suggestions! I was thinking about doing a blog for Smackdown since it is live this week. Still sitting on the idea. Thanks for the support!

Oh, well, why don't you do it even MORE live?! You know, where you edit the post as the show goes on, and refresh the post to see the progression throughout the night.

Whether you do that or not, you could go back after the post is up, and "pretty it up", so to speak. You definitely get it out fast, since it's usually up before the show even starts up for me! (I live on the west coast, and have regular cable, so I have to wait until 9pm pst to see it)

I say go for it, if you have the time. Smackdown is promising to deliver some good wrestling and entertainment, and it'll be interesting to see your take on Smackdown in general. Either way, I know I'm looking forward to tonight.
