Monday Night Raw February 4, 2013 - Review

CM Punk kicked off Raw and He cut a pretty great promo as always, followed by Booker T to Interrupt and announce that CM Punk will either face Chris Jericho, Rey Mysterio or Randy Orton. 



First match of the night was Ryback vs Antonio Cesaro - we've seen this match way too many times, and During the match Cesaro was trying to escape so many times but at the end Ryback Shell Shocked him to win the match.

2nd Match was Jack Swagger vs Santino Marella - It was a Fine match, Not that long match and It ended with Jack Swagger making Santino tap out to the Patriot Act (Ankle Lock's new name)

Alberto Del Rio vs Cody Rhodes - Good match between these two, Del Rio sold his anger from Smackdown really well. After the match, Alberto Del Rio's promo was also okay, He isn't the best in the mic but It was a fine promo. We saw Big Show from God knows where and He told Del Rio that He wants a rematch at Elimination Chamber. 



Rey Mysterio vs Daniel Bryan - A match involving Bryan can't ever be bad. It was a good move to do this match since we saw Team Hell No vs Rey/Cara on SD. Daniel Bryan made Rey Mysterio tap out to the NO! Lock. And then Some body got their ass kicked, because Mark Henry returned and sure He made a huge Impact because He destroyed Bryan, Sin Cara and Rey Mysterio. 2013 Hall of Pain has started and It was pretty awesome to see Henry back. Hopefully WWE are going somewhere with this. 


Sheamus vs Kane - I don't know why they did this match, Since both are faces but I think they are keeping Kane/Bryan as tweeners or something but It was a Okay match and Sheamus hit a Brogue Kick to Kane for the win. Both Sheamus and Ryback won their matches tonight leading up to the Elimination Chamber PPV.

The MIZ TV - In last 2-3 months, The Miz has hosted Miz-TV more than He has wrestled to be honest. Most of his Miz TV segments are all stupid but Last night's was a good segment. Paul Heyman cut another awesome promo, Also Miz cut a fine promo. It was a okay segment until the music hit and Here comes the Pain! Brock Lesnar enters the ring and gets face to face with The Miz who pushes Lesnar away and then Brock destroys him and ends It with a F5 to The Miz, thanks for coming.


Randy Orton vs Wade Barrett - They have done this match so many times that People are bored of It regardless of who wins, Barrett won clean over Orton weeks away. I heard reports that WWE did this match because Orton was scheduled to face Punk but the voting wasnt rigged and Y2J won the poll. That's understandable but couldn't have Orton wrestled some one else other than Barrett? Don't ever do this match again please.


Chris Jericho vs CM Punk - Rematch from Wrestlemania 28 where CM Punk was a face and Jericho was a heel but last night was a different story. FANTASTIC match by the two, Both were awesome. I would've liked Jericho to win but CM Punk winning wasn't the worst either. This should've been the main event because the ending was pretty weak despite How much they hyped It. 


At the end, John Cena calls out The Shield or Brad Maddox. He cut a promo about How he won't let Cena call out the Shield, Instead He calls them out and gets destroyed by them. Then John Cena's music hit! Cena makes his way through the crowd, then Ryback and Sheamus join him in the stands but The Shield tries to run for it but they couldn't. we saw a fight between Shield and Cena, Ryback and Sheamus in the ring until The Shield runs away! 

Raw wasn't as good as It was last week, Only like 3 segments were worth watching and few matches Including the Chris Jericho vs CM Punk match. The ending was okay but It shouldn't have been the main event since It wasn't as good as they hyped It. It was a great show and We are on the ROAD TO WRESTLEMANIA!
