Hey ya’ll. So a shocking Night Of Champions left a lot of questions unanswered on RAW. Like, what is John Laurinaitis’ job title again? He never seems to mention. Anyhoo, on with the show.
We began the show with CM Punk
Whose face was sad, he was in a real funk
He said he was hurting and that was hard to hide
But what really hurt was his pride
He went on to say that he was wrong
But before he went further on came HHH’s song
The COO made his way to the ring
And CM Punk was happy with the news he decided to bring
HHH said he was hurting as well
And that Punk deserved a match at Hell In A Cell
So the match was made and you should make your bet
On who will win the first Hell In A Cell Triple Threat
The WWE Title on the line but what we don’t know
Is if it’ll stay with Cena or go to Punk or Del Rio
Hell In A Cell aside it was time to get personal
And Triple H had a lot of anger in his arsenal
He said that Punk needed to realise
That there was no conspiracy and that it was lies
CM Punk said that he knew that already
But the conspiracy existed and boy was it heavy
CM Punk went on to make his guess
But John Laurinaitis came out instead
Punk accused Laurinaitis of being the conspirator chief
But Laurinaitis said that was not his belief
He said he believed that it was all down to Punk
And that Punk’s motives really stunk
He then went on to do one of his pleasures
And wished Punk well in his future endeavours
But Triple H stepped in and said nobody was fired
Not until the end of the night when he discovered the true pariahs.
I enjoyed the opening part but it did make me laugh when Laurinaitis got involved. He’s as good on the mic as Stephen Hawking is as good on his legs. Also, what’s with this M’Kay thing he does after each sentence? He sounds like Mr Mackey from South Park.
The first match of the night was an 8 Man Tag consisting of AirBoom, Sheamus and Justin Gabriel taking on New Nexus, Wade Barrett and Christian. The match was so-so and really only existed in order to build up the new Sheamus/Christian rivalry. Christian ran away from the ring and left David Otunga to take the wrap and allowed for Sheamus to pick up the win.
Backstage, a referee spoke to Triple H saying that he was worried for his and other referee’s safety due to The Miz and R Truth. Triple H said it’d be fine and to tell the men to make their way to his office as soon as they arrive. Uh oh!
Then Alberto Del Rio came in moaning that his rematch in a Triple Threat was like, totally unfair and, like, why is HHH so MEAN to him. Like OMG WTF? Triple H basically shut him down and told him that he better start being more focussed.
Del Rio then had a match against John Morrison. Do I even need to tell you the result? Me thinks JoMo is about to get a huge push… out of the door.
Then it was time for the guest host segment. We’ve not had any of these in a while so I wasn’t overly apprehensive. Plus, it was Hugh Jackman who actually makes me go giddy inside. Hugh came out and did the usual movie promotion but was interrupted by Vickie Guerrero and Dolph Ziggler. Vickie flirted with Hugh for a while before saying that Dolph should get more recognition. Dolph then started berating Hugh and mistook him for Christian Bale at one point (“I didn’t come to the set of Batman whilst you were berating a lighting guy”). Hugh then started discussing how Cleveland was the home of the underdog, he then linked it to his movie and basically agreed for Zack Ryder to face Dolph later on. It was a cute little bit enhanced by two very cute men and my favourite WWE woman after Stephanie McMahon.
Then it was time for Sin Cara v Cody Rhodes. This match, didn’t happen because another Sin Cara came out. I’m liking the whole “which one is the proper one” but I’m totally team Slim Cara. The other one is taller and chubbier.
Miz and Truth then arrived and went straight to Triple H’s office. We were then subjected to the CUTEST scene ever. Miz’s “sorry” face is totally fuckable. There… I made something cute nasty. You don’t even want to see what I did to my Hello Kitty pillow. Either way, Triple H accepted their apology but fined them both $250,000. EACH! Mental. Although I’m sure R Truth could’ve sent some of his teeth to Cash4Gold and got his money. Triple H then told them they had a match against Cena and Punk. AWEEESSSOMMEEE.
Then we had the OMGZ MARK HENRY IS LIKE, WELL SCARY GUYZ segment. It started off with Teddy Long coming out to tell JR to announce that Randy Orton will face Mark Henry at Hell In A Cell because he’s “cashed in” his re-match clause. I think people are starting to confused Money In The Bank with a re-match clause. Dumb. JR then invited Henry to the ring where he did his “YOU DIN’ BELIEVE IN ME” thing. I love angry Mark Henry. He reminds me of the Mum from Precious. Henry then started to attack JR and got him in some vice-like grip. Jerry Lawler then ran into the ring to stop Henry but, obvs, it didn’t work. Henry then went to slam Lawler through a table. Rumour has it that the crew forgot to rig the announce table to make it collapse easier, so Lawler went through an actual table. Ouch.
Then it was Eve and Kelly Kelly vs Beth Phoenix and Natalya. Eve and Ksquared got the win again which is starting to piss me off. I guess that’s the point of the storyline and eventually Beth will go psycho. Question though, when did Kharma get up the duff? I can’t remember. Will she be back like, soon? Has she dropped the baby? Someone lemme know, I can’t be arsed googling.
Then Hugh Jackman was backstage with Zack Ryder and basically called him delusional which made him perfect. They made their way to the ring where Ryder and Dolph faced off. The match was actually pretty good and Vickie got herself banned from ringside which gave Hugh time to punch Dolph. A Rough Ryder later and Zack got a win on RAW. Yeyz.
We then went backstage to where Vickie was watching. Jack Swagger then asked her to sign him on a managerial contract and Vickie agreed. The Guerrero Era is dawning upon us, folks. And I love it.
Then we went back, backstage in some locker room where Cena basically told Punk he’d be his friend for their match but after that their totes mega enemies. Punk agreed.
Then it was the main event match. It was actually really good considering that all men must’ve been tired and Punk went through hell with his match but still managed to be awesome. Punk and Cena picked up the win and after the match HHH came out. He congratulated Punk on a good match and then fired Truth & Miz.
We then went backstage where the random jobbers were watching the action (for some reason) and basically showing the shocked faces they use in the mirror. Next thing, Truth and Miz attack Triple H and are ganged up on by the locker room. Team Jobbers then threw both men out of the arena. It was uh-may-zing. Then Triple H stormed off and gave Laurinaitis evils.
But why were they fired? What happens next?
I GUESS WE’LL FIND OUT ON RAW, EH?
