So this was the big show after Wrestlemania 27.
I was not completely impressed. No, I did not see WM27. I'm poor, I can not afford ppvs.
Raw opened with Triple H coming to the ring to hint at the idea that a new feud is now going to emerge between himself and Undertaker, after the fact he lost and the Undertaker is secure with a 19-0.
From there, we had Cole come out banged up to the nines with a horrible red outfit on. Bad choice there Cole, bad choice. Stick to your suites please. He waxed poetic about his win the night before too.
Match #1 was a rematch between Lawler and Swagger from the other week. Swagger got the win originally with his ankle lock but the ref reversed the decision when he would not let it go after the bell.
Match #2 was a tag team return match as well between Randy Orton/Rey Mysterio vs CMPunk/Cody Rhodes. This was the longest match of the show by the by. Orton got the pin on this one.
Orton won his WM27 match the night before against Punk
Rhodes won his WM27 match the night before against Mysterio.
Stone Cold then came out to introduce the crew of the New Tough Enough. This was interrupted by Miz and the Bore-Spore Alex Riley. Miz I see was still the champ meaning he won his WM27 match as well. Of course, this broke down rapidly with the Bore-Spore getting a stunner, which ruined his tux. Cole then got a beer poured over him in his little cubicle.
Match #3 was Alberto Del Rio vs Evan Bourne. Del Rio got the win on this one.
He lost his WM27 match the night before.
Match #4 was Dolph Ziggler/Vickie vs John Morrison/Trish Stratus. Morrison got the win here.
Was interesting to see that when Vickie came out to the ring, she ripped a new one into LayCool for having lost their match the night before to that reality star.
Can't wait to see how that is going to turn out. Will we see a feud between Vickie and Layla?
Match #5 was Sheamus vs Daniel Bryan. Sheamus got the win. This had been for the United States belt. You all know I have a bit of a lust for Sheamus, but dude, so not digging the new red/white/blue gear. It just seems wrong to me.
Then the Raw debut of Sin Cara. As he came down to the ring to make himself known to Sheamus. This is a feud that could have some interesting elements if played out right.
The show closed out with Cena vs the Rock talking at each other in the ring. Then doing something that had me scratching my skull... Cena vs the Rock at WM28. Yes you and I did not have corn in our ears, lest I did not you might have. They are letting us know a full year ahead of time what the main event will be.
My question is Why? What the hell are they going to do for a full year with these two?
Big mistake I think. Seriously. A full year? By the time we get to next year's WrestleMania we'll have seen way too much of these two. There is just no way they can make a silk purse out of that sow's ear.
Then the Corre tried their best to scare up some trouble on the Rock and Cena but got their hairdos handed back to them. I say it that way because, you guessed it, Wade Barrett's hair did not move. He got slammed, shuffled, bottomed and a few slaps and that Jughead Jones comic book hairdo did not move a millimeter. None! Someone needs to hide the hair gel in their locker room. Just once, I would like to see Wade Barrett come to the ring with hair that has some life to it.
