WWE RAW LD 30/4/2012 - Legitimising Your Face

[FunKay the Inevitable]

LAST NIGHT!
Has Brock Won the War?

Brock Lesnar entered Extreme Rules with one goal; complete, utter, freaking chaos. That was indeed what ensued when Lesnar battled John Cena in front of a rabid Chicago crowd. While John Cena pulled out the surprise win, Lesnar appears to have injured Cena to some degree. How severe is this? We'll just have to tune in tonight.

Successful Defences!

Both CM Punk and Sheamus wanted to retain their respective championships and hurt their challengers too. Both did that, but they also absorbed a lot of punishment in the process, with Sheamus' shoulder taking a severe beating and Punk's back too.

OTHER STUFF!

Randy Orton finally put Kane to rest with an RKO onto a steel chair while we also saw two new champion's crowned as Cody Rhodes somehow regained his Intercontinental Championship and Layla returned to claim the Diva's gold.

TONIGHT!
Time to Play the Game?

At Extreme Rules, Raw and SmackDown GM John Laurinaitis had a mysterious phone conversation with Triple H. The GM promised to reveal the nature of their conversation when The Game comes to Raw SuperShow tonight. What will the two have to say?

The Very Legitimate, Disturbingly Violent (Yet Compelling) Hour (or Two) Question Session...​

Will John Cena's condition be revealed following the severe destruction he endured?
Will Brock Lesnar hurt someone tonight?
Will this "big" announcement be, well, big?
Will a new challenger emerge for CM Punk?
Will Chris Jericho remain in the title hunt?
Will we see more abuses of power from the Ace Administration?
Will funk continue to roll on?
Will Lord Tensai do anything of any interest?
Oh, and Divas shenanigans are likely also.
