RAW Discussion 7/18

[Rabid619]

After last nights amazing PPV, we have a new WWE Champion in CM Punk. Also, after last nights loss it's assumed that John Cena will be fired on RAW since that was the stipulation of the match. CM Punk has tweeted that he will not be on RAW tonight because he will be attending the Cubs/Phillies game in Chicago while RAW is in Green Bay, 200 miles away. Hopefully we will see lots happen tonight as this really is a new era. No Punk, No Crappy WWE Title Belt, and presumably no John Cena.

Also coming out of that PPV, Alberto Del Rio won the RAW MITB match and attempted to cash it on Punk last night under McMahons orders but since the bell never rang it wasnt official and Punk escaped through the crowd.

I'm expecting that soon we'll see a new top title introduced by Vince to spite Punk

[womenwrestlerfan]

Well all I can say is this:

Expect to see a lot of swerves tonight

But if that's the case about a NEW WWE Heavyweight Championship, I say, bring back the one that was used by the likes of Brock Lesnar, Big Show, Kurt Angle and the late Eddie Guerrero and not another Spinner Title like Cena's or Rated-R

[Shogun Rua]

For once, I am going to watch RAW.

The sad part is I can not discuss it to you, because it starts 15 minutes late here.

[Rabid619]

Vince is in the ring with John "Douche Bag" Laurinaitis.

Vince has announced a tournament tonight to crown a new WWE Champ:

They're bringing up that Cena tweeted that he believes he's already fired.

Why? it wont even matter,Del rio could just and still cash in on the man that wins the whole thing later on

[womenwrestlerfan]

I'd rather have Kofi Kingston or R-Truth or ANYONE for that matter than The Miz

Good Point, and like I said earlier, expect a swerve tonight

[Robert Randall]

I'll just laugh if Del Rio wins cuz he's got the MITB already, so he has a lot of back up if he happens to lose.

[Robert Randall]

Dozer, why do you have to point out the obvious?

but I'd be happy if Riley holds it at all

[NWK]

I'm rooting for Riley here. What would be a better way to instill a "new era" in WWE than to establish a top babyface. A tournament was how guys like Bret Hart and Steve Austin established themselves, this could be Riley or Del Rio's moment.

just makin conversation get lost lol

[Robert Randall]

I see facts that don't need to be pointed out X(

[Rabid619]

Miz hits the SCF and gets the win.
