I read this morning that Henry has a legit knee injury, which would explain why the match was so fast, and why they took the title off him. No sense having Bryan beat Henry as they can't have a rematch due to Henry's injury, so by having Bryan beat Show, you at least have a built in rematch.

I am not a big fan of Bryan, but the internet seems to love him. He's another indy guy making it big, and they like that. The one thing with Bryan is he can play the underdog champion role now. Hell, he just lost to Cody Rhodes on Friday's Smackdown. He's jobbed to everyone all year long. I can see the challengers lining up next week as they have one of those interview segments where everyone lays claim to the #1 contender spot. Big Show, Cody, Barrett, Orton, Sheamus, they all will come out and demand a shot. I see Show getting first dibs, but I think Barrett ends up with the strap heading into Mania.

As for Cena, I agree it didn't make "sense" for him not to be at the PPV, but on a side note, its a breath of fresh air. No Cena. Punk, Ryder, and Bryan are your champs. Maybe Cena was selling the massive choke slam that Kane gave him last week?

Wouldn't make much sense, since he was just slamming Mark Henry into the mat the other night at NFTT and screaming like a man possessed to the audience (which I find much more tolerable out of Cena).

Cena did say on twitter something about how he gave his spot up to Ryder, so maybe they were just going with that, in that not only did he give up his chance to wrestle for the title, but he wasn't even going to appear. I didn't have a problem with it. They could have easily made him a throw in in the main event, but I liked how things played out. I was hoping maybe we'd see something out of Kane, but I didn't have a problem with no Cena. Breath of fresh air is very accurate.

How on earth do you have nothing for Cena and NOTHING for Kane? He just came back. Dumb.

Right...If you were going to have Big Show beaten up to give Bryan the title, why not have Kane do it?

Because Kane is about to start a program with Cena.

I agree, I would rather Kane just destroy everyone in his path, but Vince sees it differently.

Yea I know.

But I think the idea of just letting him be this dominant guy is the way to go with Kane.

I mean, what does a program with Cena help? Kane will probably beat the hell out of him a few times and Cena will have a match against him at the Rumble and beat him and that will be that.

Nah, I don't think they'd bring back Masked Kane only to job him out to Cena in a month. They must have something planned for him.

Well, let me rephrase that. I'd HOPE they have something planned for him.

Well, he is always a RR beast...but you probably don't have him win it.

It doesn't sound like he will face Taker.

[MikeAD]

You know what would be great is if Kane destroys Cena up and through the Rumble, and going into the Feb/March PPV, Cena is about to win, and the Rock gives him the Rock Bottom. Cena's losing streak is absurd and he goes into Wrestlemania in a must win mode.

It would make more sense to have Rock and Cena both be IMMORTAL when WM comes, but I don't see how they can do that AND have him feud with Kane. Like you both say they will just have Cena beat him at the Rumble. I guess that would make Cena look powerful, but it would crush Kanes return.

As I mentioned in my review of TLC, Ricardo took a great fall, the best bump anyone took all night. Here's a video of that:



And some awesome MONSTER Kane action from last night:

[MikeAD]

Thanks for posting these. Awesome on Rodriguez.

Apparently after Raw last night Kane and Cena had a match in the Dark Main Event. Kane went to tombstone Cena, Cena kicked out and hit the Attitude Adjustment and got the pin. So weird. Also it says something when your top "face" gets booed and your monster Kane gets huge pops.

[Dipper9]

Cool opening of RAW last night with Punk, Ryder, and Bryan, and great main event to finish. Times are a changing.

There was a cool picture I saw of all the current champs at RAW last night. Let me see if I can post it...

The Undertaker is coming, of that I am sure of, but this just doesn't seem to fit Taker and the character. Than again, it doesn't strike me as being very Jericho like either.

[slowey404]

It has to be either Taker or Y2J, anyone would be a huge let down.

Other Notes
I am very curious as to where they are going to take the Kane Cena storyline.
Its feeling nice to see WWE listening to the audience. I am suprised how much stuff has changed since Punk had his shoot interview on the top of the stage back in July. Look at your current champions. Trying to build tag teams. Changing the Titles somewhat.
