Leave it to WWE to use the same formulas over and over again. You're right about Cena, it's annoying.
What annoyed me more about RAW was the way WWE makes their heels look. Shamus never seems to win matches (clean, at least) and tonight he was whining at the announcers desk about how he has very little chance to win at the NOC PPV, how it's unfair to him??? First off, Shamus is supposed to be a CELTIC WARRIOR, no? TOP HEEL, no? CHAMPION, no? Why is he complaining?! To make matters worse, John Cena ALSO has a headset on and he's offering sarcastic remarks to Shamus, which Shamus makes no effort to respond or defend himself to. WTF? lol.
I remember when it was the smart thing to do to keep opponents away from eachother to build up tension and animosity before the big match at the PPV. But, hey, WWE figures, why not just sit them next to eachother around a commentator's desk comfortably with all of their merchandise on and have them speak in monotonous tones about random shit.
Then, Randy Orton RKOs everybody. Shamus (the CHAMPION) is just like everyone else running into the ring to get RKO'ed and knocked out. Oh, yeah, and DARREN YOUNG? He makes an unexpected return, and just when you think WWE might be doing some interesting angle with Young and Barrett or something...nope. They cut Darren Young's momentum short by having him stupidly walk into the ring at Orton's beckoning finger just to get Diamond Cuttered as well. WTF.
Then, the two top faces stare at eachother in the ring and Michael Cole orgasms to the idea of these two facing eachother next week. Two guys who I thought vowed never to face eachother again for the title. Or at least maybe that's just what I wanted to hear. lol.
