I’ll be around with full results of Unforgiven at some point tomorrow, but for now I just want to let everybody know that CM Punk was taken out before the World Heavyweight Championship Scramble Match by Randy Orton. He was replaced with Chris Jericho, who picked up the winning pinfall on Kane to become the World Heavyweight Champion!
Just wanted to give you guys a quick reminder that WWE Monday Night RAW is on at 9PM on the Sci-Fi network tonight. Confirmed matches for tonight include Batista taking on Kane, CM Punk taking on JBL, Santino Marella defending the Intercontinental Championship against Kofi Kingston, and Women’s Champion Beth Phoenix taking on Kelly Kelly. Also confirmed for tonight is a live appearance by Shawn Michaels. So don’t forget, RAW is LIVE on the Sci-Fi network tonight at 9PM, with a replay on USA at 11PM.
Hooray, I finally get to watch a WWE show in HD! Damned Time Warner Cable. Anyways, same format as SmackDown usually is – quick results on the home page, full details after the jump…
JBL, Kane, Ted DiBiase & Cody Rhodes def. Batista, John Cena, & Cryme Tyme
The Great Khali def. Jimmy Wang Yang
Edge def. Jeff Hardy after interference from MVP.
Full report after the jump!
Sorry this post is extremely late today guys, I actually had most of it written last night and was expecting to have it up pretty early today, but then some douchebag didn’t show up for work, so I ended up stuck there for another two hours. In any event, last night’s show was pretty decent, compared to other post-draft episodes of ECW on Sci-Fi, but if you missed it, unless you’re really bored you can probably skip the X-stream on WWE.com.

Holy hell – I never expected the new RAW GM to be him! I’m not going to post it up here though, if you don’t know who it is already. I didn’t find out who the new RAW GM was until 7:30 this morning, and I’m going to make you wait just the same. Meanwhile, RAW was pretty… interesting last night. Michael Cole was in a match, was beaten up, replaced with Mike Adamle, and then later, JR joined Adamle and the King on commentary. Kane and JBL got into it a few times, Cena and Batista almost went at it, and CM Punk took on William Regal, among other things.
The results, and my analysis after the jump!

Well, the end of the World Heavyweight Championship match at the Great American Bash left things a bit undecided between the World Champion CM Punk and his challenger, Batista. So they had a rematch last night on RAW, with Punk saying “we’re going to keep doing it until we get it right,” or something along those lines. Well, they still didn’t get it right, but I suppose I shouldn’t give away what happened just quite yet – after all, there was a whole show before that happened that I need to tell you about!

Well, the legend of NostraJOEmas went the way of the dinosaur last night. I was only right on 50% of my predictions (including one that didn’t come up here, I picked Matt Hardy over Shelton Benjamin). Some of the ones I got wrong didn’t really surprise me, but others did. I wasn’t too thrilled with the PPV as a whole, though there were some bright spots, including the Shawn Michaels/Chris Jericho match. To be fair though, I think I went into the show with high expectations after last month’s Night of Champions, and the month of great RAWs and SmackDowns afterwards.
My thoughts, and the show results, after the jump!

RAW has been unpredictable as of late, which has been a very good thing. However, I think it all stops next week. The reason? Shane and Stephanie announced on RAW tonight that if the superstars and crew can’t band together to make the show run smoothly, actions will be taken – and William Regal’s suspension via the wellness policy ends later this week. I don’t expect them to make an announcement on WWE.com or at the bash, but I do expect an announcement at the start of RAW, much like the ones we’ve been getting over the last few weeks, re-instating William Regal as the RAW General Manager. That said, tonight’s RAW was the craziest one in quite a while. Despite the pleas from Shane and Stephanie McMahon, there was no order whatsoever in this show – and to quote DDP, that’s not a bad thing, it’s a good thing. Where to begin? Well, the beginning I suppose.

I gotta say, I loved the atmosphere on RAW last night. It hearkened back to the 90’s, where anything could, and usually would happen on the Monday night wrestling programs. Some of it may have been intentional, but the reactions of people involved at least made it seem like they weren’t. I’ll talk about that more in depth later on in the article. I’ve also figured out why the younger set love John Cena – his humor is on the same level as theirs, which is another thing I’ll discuss more in-depth as the review goes on.
That said, let’s jump right in – after the jump!
