WWE RAW 12/19/2011 - The IWC Post Orgasm Spectacular!

[FunKay the Inevitable]

LAST NIGHT!
A Day Not Forgotten

At WWE TLC, three of the internet's favourite people walked out with championship gold as CM Punk retained his WWE Championship in a fun, yet violent TLC match, Zack Ryder's year long quest to get himself pushed culminated in a United States Championship win over Dolph Ziggler, and perhaps most important of all, Daniel Bryan (yes, that one) captured the World Heavyweight Championship that many speculated would never come to him.

PLUS!
Cody Prevails, The Barrage Halts and The Coup de Grâce

Cody Rhodes' game plan to assault and target Booker T culminated in a Beautiful Disaster as Rhodes ended a rattled Booker's hopes of becoming champion. Elsewhere, Wade Barrett was stopped in his ascent to the top of SmackDown by Randy Orton and Triple H finally ended the misery that was his feud with Kevin Nash in a better than expected ladder match.

AND FINALLY...
FILLER!

Two championship's were retained, Sheamus kicked Jack Swagger's teeth down his throat...oh, and Teddy Long gave Hornswoggle a book on Ebonics. Merry Christmas...Playa!

RAW'S QUESTIONS GALORE!​

Will we see some more internet dreams become a reality?
Will John Cena confront Kane about that chokeslam last week?
Will we learn more about Daniel Bryan's motivations, beliefs and direction as World Heavyweight Champion?
Will building to the Royal Rumble (and thus, WrestleMania) take place?
Will Triple H basically spell it out that he's having a rematch with Undertaker at Mania 28 again?
Will the mighty face push of Ricardo Rodriguez begin tonight?
Will Beth Phoenix's comments about not believing in "Kharma" come back to haunt her soon?
Will we see anymore random returns and guest appearances like the last few weeks?
And there shall be more too...

 

[The Champ]

Will we see some more internet dreams become a reality?

Hopefully not, to be honest I'm getting a little tired of the whole "pander to the internet" deal.

Will John Cena confront Kane about that chokeslam last week?

Yeah. And he'll get another one. This process will repeat for the next few weeks until Cena pins Kane clean at the Rumble.

Will we learn more about Daniel Bryan's motivations, beliefs and direction as World Heavyweight Champion?

He'll be too busy marking out for himself to show up. Later, mark.

Will building to the Royal Rumble (and thus, WrestleMania) take place?

If "lol Rumble's in a few weeks buy it" constitutes buildup, yes.

Will Triple H basically spell it out that he's having a rematch with Undertaker at Mania 28 again?

"The Deadman died... uh, again. I AM GAME-UH!"

Will the mighty face push of Ricardo Rodriguez begin tonight?

It has already begun.

Will Beth Phoenix's comments about not believing in "Kharma" come back to haunt her soon?

Did she actually say that?

Will we see anymore random returns and guest appearances like the last few weeks?

Brooklyn Brawler will come back and go over Del Rio. #wishfulthinking

 

[Max Headroom]

I got a feeling this could be a good show, but things always seem to go opposite of my expectations. I expected last night to suck and I was very happily proven wrong about that.

Classic.

And I hope tonight is the debut of Chimaera!

 

[X]

I'm actually quite looking forward to tonight's show, think I'll actually watch RAW live for the first time in maybe two months instead of on DVR later.

 

[Blue Chipper]

I'm mostly interested in seeing this Kane/Cena storyline develop.

 

[Tequila Dave]

Love the last five minutes of NICIS.

 

[newc868]

And we are go!

 

[The Bearded One]

This is silly. I like it.

 

[Tyrath]

What the hell is this. I approve.

 

[CDR]

Woah, originality

 

[The_Reptile_]

Oh Punk, you so silly.

 

[Tequila Dave]

I'm hoping for a nice long opening promo.

 

[The Bearded One]

Something about the entrance area looks different.

 

[The_Reptile_]

That's right, they're in Philly this week. And Chicago next? Oh boy, I'm expecting some heavy Smark friendly stuff.

 

[Vincent Michaels]

Something about the entrance area looks different.

Glad I'm not the only one that thought this.

 

[mareek]

Nice opening. Been a while since I've been apart of a LD

 

[mareek]

Punk is like "that guy" right now, I like it

 

[newc868]

That's right, they're in Philly this week. And Chicago next? Oh boy, I'm expecting some heavy Smark friendly stuff.

Punk's two hometowns pretty much.

 

[mareek]

Everything is feeling fresh and new. When was the last time the WWE champion introduced other champions? This is cool.

 

[Y-2-Jay]

Get Teddy Long out here to make the tag match already.

 

[The_Reptile_]

Oh shit! DBD too?

 

[Tequila Dave]

Who ever thought they'd be seeing this?
