JT makes a quick stop from his vacation and records what you have before you:

Randomness Podcast 7

We start with an earlier today segment. Some sort of boxing challenge will be today’s challenge. Striker explains the rules and then Michael Cole and Josh Matthews try it out. Cole looks like an idiot, wearing a Miz shirt and Cena head and armbands with a toy belt.

Matthews wins.

I didn’t post this last night because I really wasn’t that excited about RAW.  Anyway, I won’t be posting on next week until Tuesday, maybe Wednesday.  I’m not going to be watching RAW.  I’m joining my mother and grandmother to go see a show.  I’m excited.  Anyway, here’s the review!

The Main Event is Cena & Bret Hart vs Jericho & Edge with Nexus as Lumerjacks!

Bret Hart comes out in a Batman shirt and says that he’s upset that Jericho and Edge left and talks about Team WWE.  He asks Jericho and Edge to join him in the ring, and says that if Nexus wins at SummerSlam, then everyone loses.  Jericho makes his way to the ring, and Bret asks him to rejoin Team WWE, because this is Jericho’s time to make things right.  Jericho still refuses, and tells Bret that Bret’s worried about losing tonight, and is frightened. Once again, Bret is screwed.  Chris doesn’t want to team with either Cena or Bret, he just wants to dismantle Bret.

You think you know me…

Edge comes out and asks Jericho what’s wrong with him, they grew up idolizing him.  Edge says he’s in, goes to attack Hart, Hart goes for Sharpshooter, Jericho pokes him in the eye.  Jericho and Edge make their way out of the ring, and Natalya joins Bret in the ring.  Nexus is backstage beating up Tyson and David Hart Smith.  Wade says it’s not Bret’s day.  Bret and Nat leave the rign and run backstage.

<COMMERCIAL>

@KeepItFiveStar “That’s what you get for not being a Hart, Tyson!” – Nexus

@Niki_Sushi I want Bret to say ‘nut up or shut up’ so Chris can shove the mic in his mouth. #BWF

Medics are backstage with Hart Dynasty, Bret says he’s going to take things under his own hands. Cena stops him and tells him to stay with his family.

AWESOME!!!

United States Champion and Mister Money in the Bank The Miz vs Evan Bourne
Miz wins with a Skull Crushing Finale, but Evan had some great offense going, and a pretty sweet looking hurricanrana.
United States Champion The Miz wins via pinfall!

Miz gets mic and says he doesn’t care who has the WWE Championship after SummerSlam, when he’s ready to cash in, he will be the WWE Champion, because he’s the Miz and he’s AWESOME.  Backstage, Cena is talking to Khali backstage.

<COMMERCIAL>

@kickoutblog Yeah, The Miz just murdered Evan Bourne.

@JCenadotcom Cole talking about The Miz requires me to mute the channel…

<VIDEO PACKAGE: Melina’s return.>

Melina vs. Diva’s Champion Alicia Fox
Not a horrible match, but I wasn’t all that impressed.
Melina wins via pinfall.

Khali is backstage with Josh and says that Ranjin Singh’s not here.  Josh asks is Khali with WWE or Nexus?  Khali says WWE, then jacks the mic and grumbles and mumbles a lot.  He then challenges Wade Barrett to a match, said Josh… thankfully

<COMMERCIAL>

@RAWMysteryGM I know what Khali said and he will be punished accordingly for that outburst #WWE #bwf

@ KeepItFiveStar So The Great Khali vs. Glade Berry…?

@dasharpshooters Dammit Khali you have been in this company for like 4 years and you cant speak english? #wwe #raw #BWF

As a result of Melina’s victory, Alicia will defend against Melina at SummerSlam.

Later tonight, Eve & Gail v Bellas v Maryse and Jillain in some bathing suit match thing, and Sheamus has called out Orton.

Chris Jericho and Edge are backstage complaining about Bret.  They say if Nexus loses, it’s because they’re not on Team WWE, and they may have bitten off more than they can chew.   Edge says they’ll survive whatever Nexus does, and Jericho says they’re architects and they make things happen.  If they take out Cena and Hart, there’s no SummerSlam match, and they’re in the clear.

JoMo and R-Truth talking backstage.  They say they got each other’s backs, but they need to find a replacement.

Mark Henry comes up and hears them say they need replacements, they just need him instead of two replacements, and to consider this match his audition.  Nexus is watching on a big TV, and Wade nods to them. Everyone but Barrett leaves Nexus locker room.

Ted DiBiase with Maryse vs. Mark Henry
Henry’s attacked by Nexus before anything can happen.

Sheamus makes his way to the ring.

@KeepItFiveStar Every week, we should place bets to see how long Mark Henry lasts before he gets his ass beat

@dasharpshooters Wait a minute there was a guy walking next to Maryse? I didnt notice. #wwe #Raw #bwf

<VIDEO PACKAGE: Randy Orton def. United States Champion The Miz>

It’s a shame that they lost their heads…

Sheamus to the ring. Mark Henry’s still trying to make it up the ramp, that fatass.  Anyway, Sheamus says Randy is talking out his arse, and shows a video package of how he’s not afraid of Randy Orton.

<VIDEO PACKAGE: Sheamus’ destruction>

Who thinks he’s afraid of Orton? Everyone.  Sheamus says he’s afraid of no one (except Nexus… <.<; ) and that he wants to call out Orton.  Randy comes out and interrupts him. Orton has something to say first – Sheamus didn’t get in the ring because he was afraid last week.  Sheamus blew an opportunity last week, and he’ll do the same at SummerSlam. Sheamus can do whatever he wants, but fact is Sheamus has never beaten Orton. Orton says he’s not Triple H or Cena. Sheamus says he’s not the WWE Champion either, and he won’t be after SummerSlam, and when he beats Orton, Orton will go back to the end of the line, and Orton’ll never get another title chance.  Orton says he will beat Sheamus because Sheamus has never beaten Orton, but if Sheamus wants to redeem himself for not attacking last week, Orton says do something about it.

Sheamus, your title matches in the past have been marred with outside interference. Therefore, if anyone interferes in the WWE Champ match at SummerSlam, they will be suspended indefinitely. Furthermore, I agree with Sheamus.  If Randy loses at SummerSlam, there will be no rematch, and he will go back to the end of the line. However, I also agree with Orton. If Sheamus is not scared, then I encourage him to do something about it, right now.

Sheamus goes to walk away, goes to attack Orton, stops, then walks away. Orton attacks instead, Sheamus runs the title into Orton’s face. Sheamus goes for boot, Orton dodges, and delivers a backbreaker to Sheamus. Sheamus is down, Randy backs up, then goes for a punt, but stops short.  Sheamus is freaked. Orton rolls out and picks up the Championship

<COMMERCIAL>

@iwcmvp “What the hell, why is that jar of Mayo doing with the WWE title?, MMMMMMM Mayo” – Mark Henry #WWE #BWF

@ThingsColeSays TOO MANY LIMES, TOO MANY LIMES!

Sheamus is still outside the ring, very pissed off.  The Season Two NXT Rookies are in action, and I don’t care.

Three NXT Rookies vs Three NXT Rookies
Uh… The fat one won. O.o  Husky Harris.
NXT Rookies win via squishing pinfall.

Sheamus attacks Rookies afterward, hitting the High Cross on Kaval. He then takes a mic and says that it was a message to the GM and Orton, and he promises to still be the WWE Champion next week.

Truth and Morrison make their way to the ring

<COMMERCIAL>

@kickoutblog Hey you know when this would be a good idea? Tomorrow night on NXT, but I guess we have kegs to carry and fat people to kiss then.

@bojeeB Kool Aid man has died, Miracle Whip has lost his cool….

R-Truth and John Morrison vs. William Regal and Zack Ryder
I don’t know what happened… I was tweeting.
R-Truth and John Morrison win via pinfall.

<COMMERCIAL>

@wnwdotcom: Big win? They squashed two of the most irrelevant workers on the Raw roster!

@ThingsColeSays Since they couldn’t get Will Ferrall, the Bellas walk to the ring with their giant dildos. They will get off one way or another!

@RAWMysteryGM Coming up next The Bikini Contest, featuring surprise entrant Mae Young. Get the lotion ready folks, there will be some tuggin going on #BWF

Nikki and Brie Bella vs Eve Torres and Gail Kim vs Maryse and Jillian Hall
Don’t know, don’t care what happened here. Point is, they were all in bathing suits, and that is the only reason that this was even on.  The entrance with the slide was dumb, and Santino and Vladimir couldn’t even save this… Okay, Santino did.  I love that guy.
The Bellas win via crap ring work.

Tamina corners, so to speak, Santino, and then let’s him go, but slaps his ass as he walks by.  Santion acts kind of embarrassed.

<VIDEO PACKAGE: The Monty loses to Big Boss Man at SummerSlam>

Khali on his way to ring, but is attacked by Nexus. Everyone saw this coming.

@dasharpshooters Whats up with the PG swim wear? Fucking Lame #wwe #raw #bwf

@TKeep123 Tamina wants a big old slice of Santino pie! Sweet! Must be the Uni-brow! Beware the Cobra! #WWE #RAW #BWF

Wade says that he was just informed that there will be no Khali vs Barrett match. Nexus will write a new chapter in the WWE after SummerSlam, and after they win at SummerSlam, the  balance of power will shift dramatically and permanently. Nexus will beat Team WWE. Skip says they’re going to break Team WWE physically and mentally. Otunga says if anyone in the locker room is considering joining Team WWE, think about what they’ve done tonight, because you’re either Nexus or you’re against us.

Bret and Cena make their way to the ring and Miz comes up.  Miz says their team’s in trouble, and they need help.  He figures it was just a matter of time before they went looking for him, and he says he wants to hear them ask him to join their team. Bret says fine and asks if he’s in or out. Miz says he wants to hear it from both of them. Cena asks if he’s in or out, and Miz revels in Cena asking him for help before he says he’ll let them know Sunday. Cena says it’s a shame that they may need him.

<COMMERCIAL>

@TKeep123 Something tells me that 3/4 of the Nexus … have no idea what a Nexus is! #WWE #RAW #BWF

@IAmJHPunk Is Bret gonna wrestle in a Batman shirt? #wwe #raw #bwf

Next week Justin Long guest hosts RAW.

John Cena and Bret Hart vs Chris Jericho and Edge with Nexus as Lumberjacks
Cena tossed out, Nexus goes crazy.  Jericho tossed out, Nexus doesn’t seem to give a shit, until Jericho hits Barrett by accident, and then Edge tries to help, Bret drags Gabriel in, Barrett drags him out. Nexus takes out Edge and Jericho, Morrison and Truth join Bret and Cena, Nexus gets in the ring.  Edge and Jericho back away, then seem to debate whether or not to go back in the ring.  Finally, Jericho and Edge rejoin Team WWE.  Short brawl between Team WWE and Nexus. Nexus flees best they can, and Team WWE chases then out into the stands

Alright.  I’m going to say it.  Overall, not a great RAW.  The best parts of RAW were the very first match, The Miz vs Evan Bourne, and then Randy Orton and Sheamus’ segment.  I admit, the main event got better at the end, building the hype up by making Jericho and Edge return, but the rest of it? Total shit.  Just sayin’.  See everyone in a week, I hope! If I can’t get to RAW before Tuesday, then it’ll be two weeks! Ciao, darlings!

Another episode of Smackdown is upon us… oh joy! Nine days away from Summerslam, which is looking decent as a card… not fantastic, though. So let’s see what those crazy McMahon’s have in store for us… tonight? Well technically two Tuesdays ago, since this was a pretape. (more…)

It’s the go-home show for the ECW pay-per-view, and TNA wants you to join them on Sunday for all the old school hardcore. Will you? (more…)

Hey, Everybody!  It’s time for WWE Superstars again.

Match 1:  Tiffany vs Co-Women’s Champion Layla (non-title match)

Somehow Tiffany is the number one contender.  This is your standard Diva’s match.  Michelle McCool interferes behind the referees back.  Layla wins with the Lay-Out.

Match 2:  Vance Archer and Kurt Hawkins vs The Dudebusters

Wasn’t Kurt Hawkins a Dudebuster in FCW?  He gets the win over his former team with the flying elbow off the top rope.  After the match, Archer and Hawkins tell the Hart Dynasty to pay attention and they will find them.  I guess they are next in line for a tag title shot now.

Main Event:  Zack Ryder vs Evan Bourne

Evan Bourne is the most exciting guy to watch in the WWE right now.  He’s just spectacular.  Bourne gets the win with the Shooting Star Press.

That’s it for this week.  Join me again next week.

I missed the deadline to submit this week, but I’ll still give my insight into the rankings, since they don’t vary too drastically from what I submitted.

The No. 1 contender for the WWE Championship has ridden a wave of recent success to become No. 1 in the Power Poll as well.

1. Randy Orton (2)

Orton’s first face turn didn’t go over too well, but this time around the fans love him, and so do the voters in the Power Poll, as the number one contender to the WWE Championship at Summerslam overtakes the number one spot this week.

2. Kane (4)

The World Heavyweight Champion follows Orton in climbing up the charts via a cool promo to kick off SmackDown, and a chokeslam into the Gulf of Mexico on Rey Mysterio to end the show.

3. Sheamus (3)

The WWE Champion stays put on our charts after defeating an old nemesis in Goldust this week on RAW.

4. John Cena (7)

The leader of Team WWE at SummerSlam can’t manage to hold his team together, but he’s managed to climb up the charts with a victory over now former teammate Chris Jericho on RAW.

5. The Miz (1)

With a loss to Randy Orton and no attempt to cash in his Money In The Bank briefcase this week, The Miz drops four spots to number five.

6. Chris Jericho (8)

Despite a bizarre loss to John Cena on RAW, tapping out before Cena could even get his STF locked in, Chris Jericho manages to climb the rankings of the Power Poll.

7. Rey Mysterio (5)

Kane must have gotten lonely being the only non-RAW wrestler so far on the chart, but that changes with the addition of Rey Mysterio at number 7.  Tossing Jack Swagger into the Gulf of Mexico helps Rey stay afloat in the top 10.

8. Rob Van Dam (6)

The TNA World Champion saved Eric Bischoff’s hide from Abyss’s girl Janice, and that saves him from disappearing from the Power Poll.

9. Wade Barrett (10)

Barrett held his own in a match with Edge, even avoiding a Spear attempt before trying to sick the Nexus on his opponent to no avail.

10. C.M. Punk (NR)

The Straight Edge Savior reveals that his arm is just fine before attempting to destroy the right hand of The Big Show on SmackDown, and that catapults him into the Power Poll.

The Power Poll is a weekly top 10 ranking of wrestlers as voted by members of these sites: BoredWrestlingFan.com, Hit the Ropes,NoVaWPodcast, Online World of Wrestling, PIZZABODYSLAM, Pro Wrestling Ponderings, Project Wonderboy, Ringside Rants, The Superplex, The Wrestling Blog, WrestlingAdikt.com, WrestleRage.com and Wrestlespective.

Despite every other show for this week’s WWE programing recorded last week I haven’t heard any spoilers for this weeks show.

According to the program preview we get the first NXT kissing contest.

We open with a replay of the elimination of Eli Cottonwood and his attacking everyone as the show ended.

Alright, ladies and gentlemen.  I’m exhausted, and I feel like crap for some reason.  So, I’m going to do the RAW review, include the tweets, but I’m just going to give the basics on the matches, or my opinions.  I may do full coverage of the main event, but it depends on how I feel when it gets there, alright?!

<VIDEO PACKAGE: Two weeks ago, Team Nexus meets Cena Army, then last week’s Seven-on-Seven Elimination Match, and the cracks in Team Cena/Jericho.>

You think you know me…

Edge comes out.  Says stuff.  Commercial.

Nah, just kidding.

Edge says he tried, he really did, but last week made him realize he needs to go with his gut, and listen to only himself.  Case and point, after the Royal Rumble, he listened to the WWE Universe, and they let him down.  Just like the SummerSlam team is letting him down.  He doesn’t respect Cena, he doesn’t trust Jericho, he doesn’t have any faith in Khali, he barely knows Truth and Morrison… That’s why he needs to do things his way.  He agrees that Nexus needs to get taken down, but he has a proposal: he does things his way.  Tonight, he challenges Wade Barrett, one on one.  He doesn’t want anyone to interfere.

What’s up?!

Truth makes his way down, not rapping his own theme for once, and Truth says he was gonna ask him the same question: Does Edge actually thing challenging Wade to a match is going to fix anything?  It’s bigger than Barrett.  Edge gets that, and that’s why he doesn’t want to listen to Cena.  Truth says fine, don’t listen to Cena, but he’ll listen to Truth.  Edge has been in tons of matches.  But how many times has he ever had to fight for everything, everything? Truth, Edge, they’re fighting for their lifestyles, their friends, family, for the WWE Universe.  It’s us, we, we gotta do this together and fight this together, or Nexus wins.  Simple as that.  Edge needs to stop thinking of himself and pull his head out of his ass, and that’s the truth.

Edge says it’s clever, but that’s Truth’s version of the truth.  You kill a snake by chopping its head off.  Edge takes out Barrett and Nexus crumbles.  Is Truth going to get out of the ring, or is Edge going to have to Spear him out?

“If this is what Edge wants, then I will honor his request.  Truth, please exit the ring, because he will face Wade Barrett of Nexus, and that match is next.”

Truth says good luck, because Edge is on his own.

Edge vs Wade Barrett

I’m seriously addicted to the Nexus theme song… I really am.  Anyway, decent match, with Edge getting the advantage early on, and Wade stealing it back at every chance.  However, Nexus comes out and Edge takes off into the crowd.

No winner.

Still to come, Mr. Money in the Bank will face the Number One Contender to the WWE Championship tonight in a one-on-one match!

@Niki_Sushi Wait, what? Edge was in the ring #SheamusRevisited #RAW #BWF

@JonelleDanger #WWE #RAW #BWF skip sheffield reminds me of a bulldog…an overbuff bulldog.

Backstage, Edge is looking for Cena, and finds him standing there.  Edge asks where he was, and Cena shrugs.  Cena says that no one wanted to listen to him, so he listened to Edge.  No one’s supposed to go down there, so he didn’t.  The only way they have a chance against Nexus is seven-on-seven.  Edge says good luck, because they’re going to be doing it without Edge.  He quits.  Jericho is standing next to Cena, smirking.  Cena asks if he quits too.  Jericho says that Cena doesn’t get it.  If anyone needs to quit, it’s Cena.  He’s just as much a problem as Nexus.  If they have any chance of beating Nexus, it’d be if Cena quit.  If Cena doesn’t wanna do it on his own, Jericho will make him do it.  Jericho says they should go out tonight and have a match: Loser leaves SummerSlam team for good.  Cena says that Nexus is laughing at them and they’re doing the opposite of what they should be doing.  Jericho asks yes or no, and Cena says fine, if that’s what he wants.

<VIDEO PACKAGE: SummerSlam 1991 in Madison Square Garden; Bret “The Hitman” Hart vs Mr. Perfect for the Intercontinental Championship.>

Morrison and Khali are backstage.  Morrison says he doesn’t care about last week, but, like in The Magnificent Seven, if the seven don’t stand together, they don’t have a chance.  The Great Khali says they were also the seven dwarves.  Morrison wishes him luck against DiBiase.

Tarver and Otunga walk up and say they didn’t attack him last week, because they don’t attack people the respect.  Otunga says that if he loses to DiBiase tonight, then Cena may replace him, and if he wants to go somewhere he’s respected, then their door is always open.

@kickoutblog #TheGreatKhaliSays he sees through Nexus’ clever ruse… he’ll only join Nexus if they kick out Heath Slater

Eve Torres, Gail Kim, and Natalya vs Diva’s Champion Alicia Fox, Jillian Hall, and Tamina

Good to see that Natalya finally gets to wrestle, even if it is in this stupid ass match that she’s probably not going to get much action in, but still.  Oh, yeah, and I’m amused by how uninterested Tamina looks in her team mates.  The Divas all went a little crazy outside the ring, though Natalya preformed very well.  Anyway, Alicia attacks from behind for the victory.

Diva’s Champion Alicia Fox, Tamina, and Jillian Hall win via pinfall.

Alicia has the mic afterward and says that they’re all witnesses to the greatest reign in Diva’s Champion history.  No matter what match, Alicia has beaten all of them.  There isn’t a Diva on the whole roster that is comparable to her, because she’s-

And Melina’s theme hits and out she comes!!!  Alicia looks like she’s trying to run, but the very Divas she just insulted are blocking her, and Jillian throws her back in the ring.  Melina ducks a clothesline with a very Matrix-like move then drops Alicia in the Last Call, screaming ‘I’m back!’

Still to come: John Cena vs Chris Jericho, and the loser will leave the SummerSlam team!

Sheamus is making his way to the ring!!

WWE Champion Sheamus vs. Goldust

Okay, quick random note: I love Goldust’s tweets.  He makes me laugh so damn hard.

<VIDEO PACKAGE: Sheamus vs. Goldust on ECW last year>

Sheamus wins with his High Cross.  Kind of bland match, to be honest, but I do love Gold…

WWE Champion Sheamus wins via pinfall.

Sheamus cuts a promo afterward saying that he’s a two-time WWE Champion who got here all by himself, by hard work, and didn’t have to be a third-generation Superstar like Randy Orton, or win a briefcase like The Miz.  Sheamus brings up how he ended Triple H’s career (COUGHdoubtfulCOUGH), and he’s going to do the same to Orton at SummerSlam.  These people never give him the credit or respect he deserves, but he doesn’t want or need it.  All he needs is the WWE Championship.

John Cena vs Chris Jericho: Loser leaves the SummerSlam Team

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR AND SHAGGY TOO!!!!!

Kay, couldn’t resist fucking up Cena’s theme again.  Personally, a prediction to the match, I think that Nexus will interfere and they’ll both be there. My personal feelings.  Anyway, about the match.

Good match between Jericho and Cena, with Jericho getting a good advantage over the Cena for most of the match.  Cena starts up when he gets his advantage, going for the Five Knuckle Shuffle, only for Jericho to hit the Codebreaker, but Cena rolled out of the ring.  Jericho tried to get him back in, and did, went for a cover, but it took too much time and Cena powered out at two.

<COMMERCIAL>

OMG JERICHO DID THE HOGAN THING AGAIN!  I’m okay.  After the commercial break, the momentum changed a few times before Jericho steals it, calling Cena a stupid man a few times.  Cena seemed to tweak his knee on a move off the top rope, but Cena locks the STF and Jericho taps.

John Cena wins via submission.

Jericho tapped before the STF was locked in, and Cena looks pretty damn confused.  Jericho shoves the steps, and Cena has a mic.

Cena asks Chris for just a minute, and Jericho stops.  Cena says that the people saw one helluva match against two of the best in the WWE, and says he doesn’t want Jericho to leave.  He wants him to stay, because Jericho is the best in the world at what he does.  Cena’s not gonna beg though, and says the choice is Jericho’s.  Either come back in the ring and they agree to coexist, and they handle Nexus, or Jericho walks out, and he lets everybody down, including himself.  Jericho stops, looking around for a minute, but starts toward the ring, stops, shakes his head, and walks back toward the back.  He stops at the top of the ramp, then keeps walking toward the back.

Still to come: Randy Orton vs United States Champion The Miz!

Edge is backstage, when Jericho comes up to him.  Edge says that he doesn’t blame Jericho for what he did.  Cena needs them, not the other way around.  Edge respects Jericho for what he did.  Jericho says he doesn’t need that, and he respects that Edge quit.  Cena needs them more than they need him.  They were doing just fine before they got involved with Nexus.  Edge says they’ve been through a lot together, but together, they could own this place.  Maybe the two of them should let bygones be bygones.  The two shake hands, give a man-hug, and then…

“After what has transpired tonight, next week Edge and Chris Jericho will team together against their former SummerSlam teammates, John Cena and Bret “The Hitman” Hart.  Additionally, all seven members of Nexus will stand at ringside as lumberjacks.”

Josh Matthews is joined by Randy Orton backstage.  Josh says that Sheamus was going to do the same thing that he did to Triple H at Wrestlemania.  Randy says that he once gave Triple H a six-week vacation due to a kick to the skull.  He invites Sheamus to sit ringside for his match against The Miz.  The good news for Sheamus is that after the match, Miz will be in no shape to cash in his Money in the Bank contract.  The bad news is that in two weeks, it’s Sheamus’ turn.

Up next, the world premiere of Legendary.

The Great Khali vs. Ted DiBiase

As usual Maryse accompanies Ted to the ring, but he makes her stay out of it.  Can’t say I blame him.  Anyway, Maryse provided enough of a distraction for Ted to grab the advantage, but Barrett and Sheffield come down to the ring.  DiBiase gets distracted, and Khali just squeezes DiBiase’s head.

Khali wins via head squishing?

The United States Champion The Miz vs. Randy Orton

<VIDEO PACKAGE: The Miz attempts to cash in Money in the Bank on Sheamus, only to get RKO’d.>

Before Randy comes out, Miz talks. He says that last week, Randy made a mistake.  It wasn’t just a lapse in judgment, it was a life-altering moment in the career of Randy Orton.  Because now, he doesn’t have a shred of positivity in his future.  Tonight, he’ll pay for what he did.  At SummerSlam, his best case scenario is that he beats Sheamus for the WWE Championship.  But then what?  What happens next?  Miz’ moment.  Do the voices in Randy’s head hear him?  Miz’ moment!  Randy only delayed the inevitable.  Get it straight: Miz will be WWE Champion, because he’s the Miz and he’s awesome!

Orton and Miz lock up, and Orton pushes Miz back into the turnbuckle, but neither let go.  Miz turns it around and pushes Orton into the turnbuckle, getting a punch in on Orton’s head before beating on Orton for a few minutes.  Miz Irish Whips Orton into the opposite turnbuckle, but Orton clotheslines Miz.  Orton then stomps on Miz’ chest, and again.  Orton then stomps on Miz’ face, and then goes for the knee-drop, but Miz rolls out of the way.  Miz gets up and knees Orton in the face.  Miz goes for the cover, but Orton kicks out at two.  Miz gets Orton in the corner, and starts stomping.  Miz keeps Orton in the corner for a few minutes before Orton plants a boot in Miz’ face.  Orton has Miz’ head under the bottom rope, and then slams his face into it.  Orton then tries the knee drop again, hits it, and goes for a cover, but Miz kicks out at two.  Orton whips Miz across the ring and Miz holds on to the top rope.  Orton clotheslines him out, and then Sheamus comes out to stand at the top of the ramp.

We come back to Orton owning Miz with Sheamus watching still.  Orton has Miz in a headlock, but Miz powers out.  Miz then gets revenge with his own boot to the face.  Miz stops to catch his breath before stomping on Orton’s stomach and dropping elbows and forearms on Orton’s chest.  Miz then drops another boot to Orton’s face, but Orton kicks out.  Miz then gets Orton in a headlock and rakes at his face before the ref gets him away.  Orton gets to his feet and powers out of the headlock, getting some this in on Miz before Orton drops Miz in a backbreaker.  Orton’s knee is still bothering him, apparently.  Orton walks over to Miz, but Miz plants him in the turnbuckle.  Orton starts to get up, and Miz backs away, preparing to run across the ring.  He hits Orton with his swinging corner clothesline, before going for a cover.  Orton kicks out at two.  Miz then hits Orton in the head and face a few times before the ref gets him off of Orton.  Randy then uppercuts Miz out of nowhere.  Miz retaliates with a hit to the face that drops Orton.  Miz gets Orton by the ears, but Orton starts fighting back with some powerful hits before hitting Miz with some shoulder blocks, followed by a scoop slam.  Miz is on the edge of the ring apron, and he pulls Miz in through the top and middle rope.  Orton goes to hit his DDT, but Miz flips him over the top rope and onto the floor.

Miz rolls out of the ring and throws Orton into the ring.  Miz blocks a clothesline and drops him in a backbreaker onto his knee and then down.  Miz goes for a cover, but Orton kicks out at two.  Sheamus looks unimpressed, and Miz looks stunned that Orton kicked out.  Miz goes to clothesline Orton, but Orton comes back with an RKO.  He pins Miz and wins.

Randy Orton wins via pinfall.

Sheamus ran down to the ring to attack Randy, but Randy dropped and started pounding the mat, and Sheamus stopped dead in his tracks.  The two stare and Randy smirk-snarls at Sheamus.

Overall, not a bad RAW.  Seeya next week.

Friday night suffering time folks!! Plenty of animated gifs, and a couple videos for y’all too? Here we go:

We kick things off with Kane in the ring, and he is cutting another one of these highly produced, live promos. These are fantastically edited, considering they are done live-to-tape. Undertaker woke up briefly and said two words to his brother…. the name of his assailant. Kane tells us it was…
