Randy Orton vs Fandango
This was a good match, I was surprised that It lasted as long as It did. I was expecting Orton to pick up a victory in about mere minutes. The match wasn't all that good but I liked that It was longer than just a squash match. It was good to see Randy Orton win, He needs more wins because He has been irrelevant for the last few months.
Winner: Randy Orton
Mark Henry came out to address his loss from Money In The Bank. The crowd were chanting "You tapped out" at him and He said "Yeah I tapped out, He'll tap all every one of y'all too" - Now that was hilarious. The Shield attacking Mark Henry was very surprising to me, as I didn't expect It at all. With that attack, Mark Henry is now a face. I think It'll be a 3 on one handicap match at SummerSlam.
Chris Jericho vs RVD announced for later.
Alberto Del Rio vs Dolph Ziggler
Rematch from Money In The Bank. Another good match this between these two. Dolph Ziggler broke up with AJ earlier in the night so She was ringside. She caused the distraction as Del Rio beat Dolph Ziggler. Post-match, Big E Langston attacked Dolph Ziggler. This will likely lead to Big E Langston vs Dolph Ziggler at SummerSlam. This is not good for Ziggler as He didn't even had a good title reign and now is going one step back facing Big E at SummerSlam.
Winner: Alberto Del Rio
The Wyatt Family attacked R Truth. Last week they attacked Kane, This week It's R Truth. This gimmick is really entertaining, I like It. I didn't understand much of what Bray Wyatt said but I'm expecting Kane to join Wyatt Family soon. No Husky Harris chants this week, so that was good. It seems like Wyatt will be attacking Superstars every week, I don't have much of a problem, I really like this gimmick. It's unique. Looking forward to what's next for them.
The Usos vs Jack Swagger & Antonio Cesaro
This was a short match but It was good to see Usos win. They had a great match vs Shield on the pre show at MITB, And I think they are a great team. I don't think Usos are going to be challenging Shield for the tag titles at SummerSlam, so I hope they don't lose their momentum and start losing matches.
Winner: The Usos
Christian vs Damien Sandow
I was expecting this match to be longer than what It was. It was pretty short, so It wasn't that good. Sandow winning his first match right after winning the Money In The Bank was very surprising. I guess He is going to be like Ziggler now huh? Post WM match losing streak. Post-match, Cody Rhodes attacked Damien Sandow. Rhodes received a very good reaction from the crowd. We will be seeing Damien Sandow vs Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam, with the MITB briefcase likely on-the-line. I think this feud will be great, Rhodes as a face would be good and Sandow is great.
Winner: Christian
Brie Bella vs Naomi
Naomi is a very good wrestler, as you can see. May be It's time WWE realize that Naomi should be wrestling more than dancing. This match was about couple of minutes, so I didn't expect much. I was pleased with It.
Winner: Naomi
Very good promo between Paul Heyman and CM Punk. That was just golden from both men. Heyman explained his attack and everything perfectly. One of the best segments in recent years. The attack on CM Punk was to be expected, but It was also very well done. It was very good to see Punk keep fighting back and back. Lesnar kicked his ass but that's what makes Punk the underdog in this feud. The match at SummerSlam between Lesnar and Punk might be a Last Man Standing match. As you could see Punk mentioned It and Punk kept getting up and up when Lesnar was destroying him. This segment was brilliant, Loved It. I'm excited to see the build up in the coming weeks.
Rob Van Dam vs Chris Jericho
Match of the year candidate. This was a PPV quality match, The crowd cheered for both. This match given around 20 minutes and It was simply brilliant. It was good to see RVD make his Raw return. I'm not sure If This was Jericho's last match in WWE before he leave to tour with Fozzy. Nevertheless, It was a very well wrestled match and It was nice to see RVD pick up the win.
John Cena announces his SummerSlam Opponent
John Cena was out to announce his SummerSlam opponent. He said He needs help from the crowd to pick who he faces at SSlam. He named few of the other superstars but in the end announced He is facing Daniel Bryan as expected. This was predictable but I had no problem with It. Bryan is the most over guy in the WWE at the moment, So It's good He is getting the deserved title shot at SummerSlam. Now people should realize that Bryan didn't really need to win the MITB. This segment was done brilliantly. Crowd cheered huge when Cena announced he is facing Bryan. I'm really excited for this feud but It's sadly going to Include The Bella Twins to promote Total Divas.
Overall, Raw was really entertaining. Post WM Raw and Post Payback Raw were all awesome, so I had high hopes for this Raw as well. The Heyman/Punk/Lesnar segment was awesome, RVD vs Jericho was really good. Cena vs Bryan announced for SummerSlam, Also Lesnar vs Punk will happen though It isn't officially announced. I'm really excited for the next few weeks building to SummerSlam.
