RYBACK vs. TITUS O'NEIL (w/Darren Young)- 3/10

RYBACK & VICKIE SEGMENT- why does Ryback want a TLC match? He has been dominating Punk in normal matches, but has only lost because of outside interference. Why would he want a match where outside interference is legal?

ROSA MENDES & HORNSWOGGLE BACKSTAGE- well... Hornswoggle is just plain acting like a jerk. Del Rio showing up here was great. I don't give a damn about Khali, but Del Rio making him tap can only be good for Del Rio.

ALBERTO DEL RIO (w/Ricardo Rodriguez) vs. THE GREAT KHALI (w/Hornswoggle)- 2/10

PUNK, HEYMAN, & VICKIE BACKSTAGE- GRRRRR! I hate what they have done to the Punk character! He has turned into a completely generic heel. Heyman was good here, though.

NXT GUYS INTERVIEW- AMAZING! (aside from Roman Reigns at the very end).

FANDANGO VIDEO PACKAGE- okay, I've run out of Fandango jokes.

ALICIA FOX vs. TAMINA SNUKA- 2/10
This should have been a squash. There was no reason for Fox to get any offense in. Even better, use a jobber, not Alicia Fox. Also, Tamina needs to not use the Superfly Splash if she is going to be a heel. All it does is get pops.

AJ, VICKIE, CENA, & DOLPH CRAP- I HATE THIS FEUD SO DAMN MUCH! Not only is it's entire basis waist deep in a continuity error, but it is so damn repetitive. Every week AJ comes out and calls out either AJ or Cena. Then we get some lame attempt at supposedly witty repartee until the other one comes out. Then we get more lame jokes until Ziggler comes out and says something mean. EVERY DAMN WEEK!

KOFI KINGSTON vs. TENSAI- 3.75/10
Was going great, but ended too short.

KANE & DRAGON BACKSTAGE- was funny in the beginning, but the end was kind of lame.

DANIEL BRYAN vs. REY MYSTERIO JR- 6/10

DOLPH ZIGGLER PROMO- okay

DOLPH ZIGGLER vs. JOHN CENA- 6.5/10
Didn't Dolph just say this match was going to be the main event?
Anyway, this was a great match, but I absolutely hate the fact that Cena went over here. He hurt his knee! He won't look weak by losing and beating Cena will get Dolph heat. We already know that Cean is a tough guy, so having him win accomplishes nothing but burying Dolph.

ANTONIO CESARO vs. SHEAMUS- 6.25/10. I really, really, really want to see these guys go again! This is the reason that WWE needs draws. Just have these guys go to a draw then have Show come out and do that awkward segment with Sheamus. There is no reason for Cesaro to lose here. At least he didn't get pinned, though.

SHEAMUS PROMO- good.

DAMIEN SANDOW PROMO- good. With Cody gone, Sandow cut a good promo to get himself back on track in his original mission.

DAMIEN SANDOW vs. ZACK RYDER- 3.5/10

PAUL HEYMAN PROMO- okay

KANE vs. CM PUNK (w/Paul Heyman)- 6.25/10
Not good enough for a main event.

THE SHIELD ATTACK KANE- I absolutely hated this. There was no reason for it at all, other than to imply that they are working for Punk. The Ryback part of it was decent, but I didn't like the overall premise.

Overall, an okay episode of Raw. It had some good wrestling and the Shield interview was amazing, but other parts of the show (the Cena-AJ-Vickie crap) dragged it down.

I heard someone last night mention that this segment was Vince's perspective on the elections. saying that even Daniel got the majority votes, Kane was given the win. Vince is still bitter of the election result I guess.
