Brie Bella tells them to get to it before everyone starts throwing up. Stephanie asks where her puny little hippie dippie husband is and asks if he's recovering, still. Brie says he is but asks if Stephanie has recovered from this... we see her arrest from two weeks ago. Brie says she's going to send a message to the whole world, that Stephanie is nothing but a fraud, a failure, an embarrassment to the McMahon family. She says this isn't just for her or her sister Nikki or her husband Daniel. She says this is for Vickie Guerrero, Big Show, the Rhodes family and for every other person that Stephanie has tortured week after week. A big CM Punk chant starts up. Stephanie fires back and calls Brie a wannabe reality star. Stephanie calls her a selfish, conceited shell of a woman and a piece of trash. Stephanie says she's already embarrassed just standing in the ring with Brie. She's going to put an end to Brie's pathetic attempt at making history at SummerSlam. The contracts are signed.

Stephanie kisses Triple H before they pose over The Bella Twins. Stephanie blows a kiss to Brie and mocks the "yes!" chant again. RAW goes off the air with Stephanie posing.

A strong opening match and decent end sandwiched one big advert. Shocking RAW. Surely the way to get people to subscribe to the Network is focus on providing quality that people want to but into instead of shoving it down peoples throat.

Interesting to note, the only Champion on RAW was The Miz and he wasnt there for even 5 minutes.

Im going to be seeing 9.99 in my dreams. 9.99. 9.99.

9.99

9.99



9.99

I tried watching live, but I fell asleep while saying 9.99 over and over.

1MB baby!!!

The Slater Revolution has begun! 

Poor Raw though.

As I said last week, as good as the Stephanie/Brie story is, it should not be main-eventing RAW. It will not draw them a penny. Case in point last week when the rating for the last hour fell sharply. Anyone else bar a McMahon involved and they'd be straight back down the card. 

Anyway, the Cena/Lesnar vid was excellent. Best I've ever seen Brock speak. 

The rest of RAW was meh - oh 'cept the Slater/Ambrose/Rollins match/distraction. 

And the network advertising was bloody ridiculous. Everyone knows what you get with it by now. And everyone knows the price. Improve the product and you'll increase the subscribers. It was almost like they believed they could hypnotise people into subscribing!

One more thing - I'm not a massive fan of Cesaro but it's a real shame if they have given up on him already.

If they added Raw and Smackdown to the product I bet more people would get it.

Network revenues would drop down the toilet though

They probably would, but I think they went with PPVs first to test the water. Revenue from TV deals is key for WWE so it would have been too much of a risk to have everything on the network straight away.

I think it makes more sense to have their main show on a main channel albeit a cable channel, it gives far more promotion to the company than it would ever get on the Network, they might head that way in time but for the next few years I can't see them taking the show off mainstream TV in a period they need every avenue possible to ram the merits of the Network down our throats

No Cena....No Brock...No Bryan...And the hottest star on the books at the moment starting the show off..only to end with Steph v Brie ...and they wonder why the subscribers for the network has bombed!   

With Summerslam two weeks out and network subscriptions requiring renewal in a few months you would assume they would do everything in their power to get people vested in the product...it seems not.

Given how hot wrestling was off the back of Mania & the initial episodes of Raw following that it really is taking a very quick nosedive once more.

I'm sure a lot will point to my seemingly ever negative view on most things wrestling but let's be frank..looking at things objectively were not far off where we were 12 months ago...

We have someone who was supposed to go onto good things after a Cena feud jobbing (Damien Sandow)...we have a feud between two stars, one of which was supposed to push on, over a title which no cares about (Ziggler..Inter Title)...we have a break through star in a tie over match at the 2nd biggest PPV of the year (Reigns v Orton)....we have another break through star (who again lost Cena)  who is now scrambling to get credit from a feud where he will struggle to get it & who hasn't won a PPV match clean in 7 months...then we have the title back on Cena and we are all hoping it's just a tie over and he's going to drop it (I don't for one second think he will)...oh and to cap it off a McMahon is front and center of everything, how convenient..

Wrestlemania has become the center-piece for all the wrong reasons now, as the show where they appease the Internet fans, in order to get away with then doing everything wrong the proceeding 11 months...

This time next year you will have:

Rollins scrambling around the midcard having cashed in his briefcase only to lose or drop the title few months later after being booked poorly..

Ambrose duking it out for Intercontinental/US title after creative have completely missed the boat on him, losing all his momentum

Reigns struggling to get back to the top after being booked strong only to come out of a feud to Cena having lost

Wyatts split up with Bray bouncing from feud to feud whilst Harper/Rowan are either future endeavored or the new comedy act

All the while Triple H will be front and center still....Orton will still be pushed just hoping that he finally gets fully over with the crowd...Kane will be ever present, one week with the mask one week without and Cena will gearing up for a fight with another returning star/faded legend with title in hand telling anyone who listens that he is worthy champ because he cares about the business and is here every week...despite conveniently forgetting the 15 weeks he missed due to filming the latest WWE movie!!

Had to laugh at the Cena hype video, they focused on him saying "I'm here every week" on a week he actually wasn't there...brilliant

Good post Owen. I agree with most except 2 things:

Cena will lose his title to Brock and Reigns won't be booked secondary to anyone before WM if he stays injury free. All evsidence so far is pointing to WWE going this direction. No 2 superstars are being pushed as heavy as Lesnar and Reigns right now.

9.99

I think he already is in some aspects; I get that Orton has been shown to be a threat due to the attack...however does a win over him give him that much going forward; I'd hazard a guess that at some point in the past 6 months he has gone over him clean anyhow and in any Triple Threat/Fatal 4 or MITB he has been made to look stronger than him anyway...

WWE don't seem to mind a rushed build and they use it all the time on plenty of feuds; the one which they could have rushed ever so slightly was HHH/Reigns...where a win for Reigns at Summerslam would have been huge. That most likely happens at NOC now; simply isn't as big there.

Regards Cena...I don't see how they can possibly put it on Brock with his limited schedule. When The Rock picked it up two years back at RR he at least had a fair few dates between then and Wrestlemania...the same doesn't apply to Brock. He is to appear at 2 RAW's between the end of Summerslam (11th August) and NOC (15th Sept) ..so 2 in 5 weeks...not great for an apparent soon to be Champion...

The problem is giving him the title leaves them pushed into a corner regardless...he either appears infrequently from now to Mania thereby devaluing the title...or they give it to him and then he loses...thus cheapening the win over Taker at Mania (as in my opinion you can't have anyone go over him till at least Mania 15 if you want that win to mean anything)..

How Do You Solve A Problem Like Brock...the question for the week!!

Pay him more and have him show up more?

Marky wrote:Pay him more and have him show up more?

Thats the thing. Lesnar knows EXACTLY what he means to the WWE at this point. He could hold the WWE ransom. This match being for the title is a complete lose/lose. Lesnar wins - the title isnt seen for months. Lesnar loses - The streak ended for nothing.

They should have saved this match for the Rumble, then Lesnar could have dropped it at Mania where it would have meant a whole lot more.

Or have him win but then lie down for a Rollins cash in?

Adam D wrote:Or have him win but then lie down for a Rollins cash in?

Behave. This isnt TNA.



9.99

Adam - That's probably the best option...and I use best very loosely. They could go with that he was paid to lie down..he can say he cared little about holding the title...just wanted to inflict pain on Cena and prove he could come back and win it.

However even that cheapens the title and the streak...just not as much...thinking about it..that's exactly how I would do it!..Either that or he wins the title and then HHH's worst nightmare (kayfabe) happens and Lesnar walks with the title..holding it ransom until he sees fit to return.. that could work if done right

I like that. A storyline where Lesnar as Champ threatens to leave and only show up when he has to defend the title or when he feels like it unless he gets paid ridiculous sums of money, with Heyman the mouthpiece every week. Would put more emphasis on the IC and US titles in the interim period, with HHH and the Authority doing everything they can to get the title off Lesnar (including a failed Rollins cash in) and eventually Reigns takes it off of Lesnar at Wrestlemania.

That's the way they should play it out; however I don't expect creative to come up with anything of the sort; especially given that would require long term booking!

Anyone know when Bryan is due to return also?!

Everybody loved it when CM Punk threatened to take the title away. Brock can do the same. If booked right Brock doesn't need to be on TV every week. As long as he can defend every month that's fine.

Bryan is rumoured for RR - Meltzer. I'd take it with a pinch of salt though as he gets so much wrong these days.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Bryan at Summerslam, albeit just for Brie's match rather than making his full-time comeback. Just to keep him in the fans minds, plus it'll add to a match that has been built up very well but is unlikely to deliver anything decent in the actual match.

Yeh I had heard RR...even if fit a month or so before that I would hold off on his return until RR...

Brock holds title next few months...with HHH doing everything in his power to take it off him...

Night Of Champions - Brock defeats Orton who is given his long overdue rematch despite being beat at Summerslam by Reigns

Hell In Cell - By now the 'Brock Mercenary' angle is in full swing...Kane gets a stab at the title in Hell in A Cell but comes up short...

Survivor Series - Brock refuses to defend the title but is at the show..

TLC - Once again Brock refuses to defend title...

In this time the following happens with Reigns -

Summerslam - He defeats Orton and in weeks following demands a title shot...yet HHH refuses to give into his demands...unless he can beat Kane at NOC

NOC - Reigns beats Kane...after the bout HHH attacks Reigns with Sledgehammer and lays waste to him. The following RAW he declares 'if you want a job doing then you do it yourself and now that Reigns is out of the picture he can deal with other matters'...

Hell In A Cell - Reigns returns two weeks before Hell In A Cell and goads HHH into a match..stipulation is that if he wins he gets his title shot...if he loses then he has to work for HHH & The Authority - needless to say he is victorious.


John Cena has been frozen out of the title picture during this time and refused his rematch and is now in the sights of the Authority..along with Ambrose & Reigns...

At Survivor Series their is no Title match but we do have a massive traditional 5 man team match

Reigns/Cena/Ambrose/Y2J/5th Member vs Orton/Kane/Rollins/HHH/5th Member

Just as it looks as if Cena is about to pick up the win a returning Batista comes out and destroys him (thus setting up a Batista feud with him)..Rollins picks up the pieces to win giving him momentum...

TLC - Play it out however you want really...tie over feuds in place...the show closes with Brock returning after a long TV absence to destroy Reigns!

At Royal Rumble Reigns activates his title shot and we have the Brock v Reigns showdown....Reigns is victorious...

The night concludes with a returning Daniel Bryan winning the Royal Rumble to set up Bryan vs Reigns for Wrestlemania....

Story could be tightened up and edited in parts but as far as building things up think it would work really nicely...plus nothing stopping Rollins from cashing in at Mania to provide a WTF moment at the close of that.

if they only offer their weekly shows on the network they will be gone, if you have a product that relies on fresh generations of fans then you make your bread and butter accessible, then charge for the toppings

^well put!

Byron Saxton has the greatest job in the world.
