Just caught the RAW replay and… I sorta wished I hadn’t.
I’m sorry, but when John Cena is champion and featured in a good chunk of the program via multiple skits and matches, that just ruins the show for me. All I know is that it’s Cena vs. Batista in a Last Man Standing match at the next PPV… JOY.
Also, Sheamus challenges Triple H to fight, which HHH happily obliges. Rather funny, though – the Irishman brings a lead pipe, the Game brings a sledgehammer. I kinda liked the brief clash of weapons before Sheamus got red blemishes to that white skin of his… I mean, seriously. That’s his most distinguishing feature – his pale white skin and red hot hair. That’s a look I can get behind… now if only the guy can get a little better and a little more intimidating, just like he appears on the various promo materials he’s on.
Randy Orton defeated Jack Swagger in a quick match. The same Jack Swagger, mind you, who cashed his briefcase last week and became World Heavyweight Champion. Way to make your World Champ look like a fucking chump. I guess anyone holding a belt isn’t allowed to look the least bit credible unless you’re the boss’ son-in-law, long-time employee, or named John Cena. And they wonder why people don’t give a shit.
Eve Torres wins some Divas battle royal and earns a shot at the Divas title held by Maryse, the interchangeable Barbie doll from Laval… that’s all I got. At least, the title will be on the line in a match and not in a random box.
Hey, when was the last time Miz defended that U.S. championship? Why is he still champion again?
