RAW LD 1/20/14 The Animal Returns!

Remember kids, when someone beats your dad unprovoked wait a week and then three more hours to get a small amount of revenge.

Well at least the first 3 hours of Raw were enjoyable.
 
If there was one more RAW before the rumble then this ending would have been great.
However, if it did do anything, it was that it helped John Cena get a full on cheer from what I heard. If there was any booing, I didn't hear at all today for Cena.
 
My favorite part was Rollins elevated curb stomp on Big E.

I liked the way Show threw Lesnar out of the ring.

The Usos are fun and got a nice response.

Orton has been really entertaining on the mic. DB too.

And Batista returned, what is the opposite of deafening?
 
All is all. Pretty good show. They had to hurry up some segments,however.

I am clueless now as to what the Shield's programme is. Their "cracks" seem to have disappeared completely. Will the WWE swerve and just turn the Shield face somehow?
Also, Big E Langston being the one pinned was a surprise as well didn't expect that, especially the fact that whilst Roman Reigns did clear out the Tag champs, it was Seth Rollins who got the clean pin.

Daniel Bryan is very very over. His promo was pretty decent also. If he is not winning the Rumble, hopefully he stays out of it. The match against Bray is good enough for him,lMO.
The Wyatts seem to be getting heat from the crowd.That is a good thing.
The Usos have stepped it up lately. I kind of like their entrance now. It has grown on me in the past couple weeks.

CM Punk at no.1 in the Rumble was something I was expecting.
Is the Authority's couple, a Tweener couple?They always look good in every segment regardless of who is against them.

John Cena made his cameo and looked strong with the crowd seemingly 100% behind him.
Randy Orton was made to look like a pure scared pussy tonight. Against everyone; the Authority, Cena and Batista.
Speaking of Batista; His return was just as I expected it to be. Now to his seemingly imminent Royal Rumble win, especially if Punk is at no.1 and Bryan isn't in it(hopefully he is). If Batista is to win it, have a staredown with Roman Reigns occur in the late stages(Last 4/Last 2),please!!

Brock Lesnar got thrown around again by Big Show. However, I don't see Lesnar losing at Rumble, regardless of whether he will be in the Main Event or Streak match at Wrestlemania.
 
Decent Raw. Less Del Rio, more Fandango and a better ending for Kofi would have been nice. I missed the Lesnar stuff, I'm sure Heyman nailed it.

Punk in at #1 is cool, but I don't see him winning. Big Show should go through the Spanish announce table like years ago. I'm worried about Cena winning the title back, though I'm not sure why.
 
Something I saw brought up on another site:

HHH spends three months burying Bryan and gets to be proven right because Bryan is currently in a midcard story.

HHH and Stephanie get to rip Orton's balls off while Orton just stands there and is told to grow up.

Stephanie gets to tell Kane to go apologize and Kane goes and does it. This would be the same Kane that joined the Authority for some vague reason.

HHH and Stephanie then get to cheer for Batista, making them look like they're totally on the fans side. There are no repercussions for them, they're never shown up, they get what they want and their past indiscretions are never brought up. Why should I care what happens to anyone else when they're all just puppets in the Authority's show?

At Wrestlemania, Triple H hits CM Punk with a Shovel and buries him as well.

Anyone think there is a chance of that,especially after the above observations??
 
Very, VERY weak go home show to Raw. Felt like a Nitro before it went to hell with the shots of backstage and stuff. Batista isn't as over with the fans as he used to be, and Del Rio vs Mysterio for the 51st time just doesn't cut it anymore.

Fandango squashing Xavier Woods makes me happy just because there's not enough squashes these days.

Punk going in as #1 in the Rumble could get interesting, and so could Bryan's run in the Rumble, but none of that was talked about. NOBODY talked about going to Wrestlemania or winning the Rumble. It was as if it was secondary to whatever's going on.

That would be great if ANYTHING WAS GOING ON. Alas, it's just generic Raw #232 and will probably drop in the ratings after last week.

Funny that you mention Nitro. I half epected the camera in the back to show Goldberg rolling up in a stolen police car...
