Bray Wyatt Should Beat John Cena at WrestleMania XXX

Few weeks ago, Many wrestling websites reported that John Cena is scheduled to face Bray Wyatt at WM30. At the time, I wasn't really convinced that rumor is true but fast forward to Royal Rumble PPV, those rumors were indeed true. When John Cena was facing Randy Orton for the WWE Championship and was this close to winning the title, The Wyatt Family interfered and cost him a chance to win the WWE Championship from Randy Orton. 

Personally, I do not want this match to happen. I've been wishing for Cena/Taker at WMXXX for a long time. So when the rumors started that Cena was going to face Bray Wyatt, I was kind of disappointed. This match isn't really Wrestlemania worthy. I'd be fine with this match happening at like Elimination Chamber or even SummerSlam but not at The Biggest show of the year. But now that this is pretty much confirmed that Wyatt is facing Cena (It's not really confirmed but based on Rumble, I'd think It's confirmed). WWE must make It right.

If the whole purpose of this match is to make Bray Wyatt a star then He needs to beat John Cena. Yes, Just by facing a superstar like John Cena (Face of the company) at WrestleMania is a big deal and would put Bray right on the map but To solidify Bray as a top heel and one of the top guys in the company, He must go over. A win over John Cena will elevate Bray Wyatt's career. Bray Wyatt just recently had an amazing match against Daniel Bryan at the Royal Rumble which was probably his first major win since debuting in July last year. He beat Bryan clean in a great 30+ minute match where he got to showcase his talent and greatness in the ring. That win was most likely to give him momentum heading into Wrestlemania when he squares off against Cena. 

At Elimination Chamber, It'll be The Wyatt Family vs The Shield. I'd guess The Wyatts will go over and Shield will lose due to some misunderstanding between The Shield. Then heading into his match vs Cena, Bray will have a lot of momentum coming off a major win vs. Bryan at Royal Rumble and beating a top group like The Shield at the Elimination Chamber. 

Should Bray Wyatt beat John Cena clean? Keep in mind, Cena lost clean to Daniel Bryan at SummerSlam and recently to Orton at TLC (somewhat clean). So It is likely that He probably won't lose clean but He should. Like I mentioned earlier, If this match has to happen, then Bray must go over but also clean. Let's be honest here, a win for Cena wouldn't do much for him and He doesn't need It and It will destroy Bray Wyatt's momentum. A loss for Cena wouldn't harm him either as He'll continue to be the top guy and in the main event and a win for Bray will elevate his career and make him the top heel of the company. 

While it is too early to predict things, I still think as of right now this match is pretty much a lock. Many wrestling websites also reported that After Punk's exit from the company, No match is confirmed to happen except Bray Wyatt vs Cena which is pretty much a lock after what happend at the Royal Rumble. 

Top 5 Best WWE Matches of 2013

    #1: John Cena vs CM Punk - #1 contender match (Raw: Feb 25)


Whenever these two get in the ring, they produce magic in that ring. As you might have seen from their past matches at Money In The Bank 2011 in Chicago, SummerSlam 2012 and Night of Champions 2012 in Boston. These two never disappoint in the ring and this was one another classic that these two put on. Just a month after The Rock ended CM Punk's historic title reign which lasted 434 days, These two wrestled for approximately 30+ minutes and had yet another spectacular match 


Out of all their past matches, I'd say this was the best wrestling-wise. There is no denying that the hype and crowd was better at Money In The Bank 2011 but I'd say this match was much better wrestling-wise. This was one of the best matches I've ever seen on Raw or WWE in recent history. It kept everyone on the edge of their seat. Punk kicked out of Cena's Attitude Adjustment and Cena kicked out of the GTS.  Cena's powerbomb and hurricanrana (as awkward as It was), Punk's piledriver. Everything was just Incredible. 


This was a WrestleMania worthy main event and I loved every second of It. Both have brilliant chemistry in the ring. Amazing stuff. 

#2: Brock Lesnar vs CM Punk - SummerSlam (Aug 18)


This match was rumored few months ago prior to this match and I wasn't really hyped or Interested in It to be quite honest. I honestly thought the match wouldn't be all that great and It would be a forgettable match. I was completely wrong because this was an amazing bout. On the post-Payback Raw, during Punk vs Del Rio, all of a sudden Lesnar's music hits and the entire area is shocked. Brock got in the ring and gave Punk a F5 and that was the beginning of this feud. 


Paul Heyman cracked CM Punk with a ladder as Punk was about to win the MITB contract and cost him a chance at winning the WWE Championship. It was teased every week that these two would break up and eventually It happend at the Money In The Bank pay-per-view. Leading to this match every week, Both Heyman and Punk got some amazing promos. I stated earlier that I wasn't high on this match in the first place but I knew Punk vs Heyman on the mic would be absolutely golden and It was. The Lesnar and Punk brawl(s) before their match were just as epic. A Powerhouse vs an underdog. 


This was a match full of violence. So many chair shots and everything. This match arguably got the best reaction from the audience. Punk gave yet another MOTY candidate and Lesnar who doesn't wrestle often showcased what an incredible athlete he is. I wouldn't be surprised If we see a rematch between the two sometime in 2014. 

#3: John Cena vs Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship - SummerSlam (Aug 18)


On the Post-MITB Raw, Brad Maddox let John Cena pick his opponent for SummerSlam. 
The Great Khali told John Cena earlier that If He picks him, they'll have the best match in history but John Cena did not listen. As he named a lot of Superstars, He forgot one man. Daniel Bryan. As he announced Daniel Bryan and He came out, the reaction from that crowd was Incredible. 


This was a match between an established star vs an unestablished star. While I did put Lesnar vs Punk ahead of this match, I can not lie but say the climate and energy of this match was much better than that match. This match told much better story than that match. 



The start of this match was slow and hard to get Into It but as the match went on, Everyone got Interested to It. Bryan kept targetting Cena's Injured arm through out the match. Both used some amazing moves and Cena did one of his newly added move to the 5 moves of Doom powerbomb but the crowd continued chanting "You can't wrestle" or "You still suck!" You can say that about the whole crowd were supporting Daniel Bryan. 


When Bryan hit Cena with the running knee, I didn't think that, that was It. Heading into this match, Lots of people thought Bryan would make Cena tap, While that didn't happen, Bryan did pin Cena clean. Something that is very very rare nowadays. Cena is not a consistent great wrestler, But when It's a big match and you've got a wrestler like Bryan, He can perform as good as ever. This match was excellent and will be remembered for many years. 

#4: Undertaker vs CM Punk - WrestleMania. (Apr 7) 


At WrestleMania 29, The show disappointed big time. There were already lots of predictable matches and Out of the top 3 main events, Two were rematches except this match. This match stole the show at WrestleMania. This match wasn't that great but because the other two main events already happend before and were somewhat predictable, This match was the one everyone had their eyes on. Taker's WrestleMania matches are always amazing and Match of the year candidate and this wasn't anything different.


During the build-up to this match, They used Paul Bearer's death in storyline which was creative and not thought of. CM Punk doing the Old School move to Taker, chokeslam, kick outs and everything was great.  In the end, Taker prevailed with a tombstone. I'd say the match lived up to It's expectations and both Punk and Taker delivered a great match. 

#5: Daniel Bryan Gauntlet Match - Raw (Jul 22)


Just less than a month before He faces Cena for the WWE Champion at SummerSlam, Maddox questioned whether Bryan deserves a title shot or has even earned It. So He put him in a Gauntlet match against Jack Swagger, Antonio Cesaro and Ryback.


Bryan wrestling for around 40+ minutes in the main event of Raw can't go wrong. Bryan delivered thrilling performance that put me on the edge of my seat. His stamina to wrestle for around 40 minutes with three different guys is gutsy. He runs around in the ring and does all these crazy moves yet still doesn't slow down. His match with Jack Swagger was slow at start, but It was still a good match. Swagger kept trying to finish him but in the end tapped out to Bryan's "Yes Lock". This was for about 15 minutes and It was good. 


While his match with Swagger wasn't bad, His match with Antonio Cesaro was just outstanding. It got the crowd to chant "This is awesome" and It was. They wrestled for around 20 minutes and It was just magic in the ring. Cesaro is phenomenal in the ring and Bryan outstanding as always. I liked the finish to the match as Bryan managed to counter Cesaro's mid-air uppercut and pin him. Outstanding stuff. His third opponent was Ryback who rarely has good matches but usually puts on good matches with Bryan as they've wrestled each other quite a lot of times. This match wasn't as good as the one with Swagger or the outstanding one with Cesaro, as It was for about 5+ minutes. But overall, this match was great. Bryan showed toughness and heart to wrestle for approx 40 minutes. 




There were other great matches too this year such as 
* Daniel Bryan vs Rollins
* CM Punk vs Chris Jericho at Payback
* RVD vs Jericho on Raw
* Alberto Del Rio vs Christian at SummerSlam
* The RAW MITB Ladder Match
* Daniel Bryan vs Randy Orton Street Fight on Raw
* CM Punk vs The Rock at Elimination Chamber Chamber 
* John Cena vs Mark Henry at Money In The Bank



 I've missed out on a bunch of other great matches that were good too. Also 3 of the matches in my top 5 list Involves CM Punk because He wrestled some amazing matches this year. Hope you enjoyed reading this.

Monday Night Raw August 5th, 2013 - Review

Raw kicked off with Stephanie McMahon. She showed Bryan getting groomed. D Bryan came out and cut a fantastic promo. It was almost like a Punk promo about what kind of champions WWE want. Bryan saying He will make Cena tap out was a big statement. Looks like Vince/HHH will be part of this Cena/Bryan storyline, and they might play a huge role in the winner at SummerSlam. Good segment to kick off the show but It went for around 20 minutes, Which is pretty long. 


Rob Van Dam vs Alberto Del Rio 

Oh look Ricardo is back from a "severe Injury". This is a Smackdown rematch from few weeks ago, which lasted about a minute. So I had no problem with this match happening again. I wasn't surprised seeing RVD pick up the win but ADR turning on Ricardo was definitely a surprise. They have been together for three years, so I think It is finally time for a split. Also I could see Ricardo costing ADR the match at SummerSlam. 


Winner: RVD


Good segment between Damien Sandow and Cody Rhodes. Crowd barely reacted which isn't much of a surprise. I love their storyline at the moment, I have been Interested In It. I think they should've announced the match for SummerSlam during this segment. I am excited for their match at SSlam.


Mark Henry vs Ryback

WrestleMania 29 rematch. But the difference this time is, Mark Henry is a face and Ryback is a heel. This was a pointless match, Seriously tired of this same uncreative finish. I was thinking May be Shield would attack Henry but that didn't happen either. Just a pointless match. 


Winner: Mark Henry

Great promo from John Cena. He cuts fantastic promos when He is serious and this was one of those promos. He addressed Daniel Bryan, and responded to his points. Those "boring" chants were just stupid, 1.) That was not a boring promo and 2.) That crowd shouldn't be calling any segment boring. Randy Orton Interrupted Cena and told him yet again that He might cash in at SummerSlam. Shield coming out was a nice surprise, Bryan making the save was expected. Great six man tag team match set for the main event. 


Wyatt vs Brodus Clay and Tensai


Another pointless match but It was good to see Luke Harper & Erick Rowan in action. Kane and Bray Wyatt's words of exchange after the match was good, It seems like It will be Kane vs Bray Wyatt At SummerSlam in a Inferno match. I have no problem with It, I am excited for this storyline. 


Winner: Luke Harper & Erick Rowan. 


Kaitlyn vs Layla

Layla turned heel on Kaitlyn on Smackdown one week ago so this match was logical. AJ distracted Kaitlyn, which caused her to lose. Layla won the match - I am fine with It, She is better as a heel anyways. She wasn't doing much as a babyface anyways other than coming out every week and standing ringside (TV Time Yay). AJ and Kaitlyn skipped around the ring after the match, Seems like they will form a team now. 


Winner: Layla


Christian vs Heath Slater


The #1 contender for the World Heavyweight Champion does not get a entrance. That is just stupid. Christian won the match with the spear. No surprise He won because Slater is a jobber anyways and I wasn't expecting Christian to lose since He is the #1 contender. I was kind of surprised that Del Rio didn't attack him after the match. 


Winner: Christian


CM Punk vs Curtis Axel

This match wasn't that good because It wasn't even that long. The match was forgotten once Lesnar came out. The brawl between CM Punk and Brock Lesnar was awesome. Another great brawl. Punk keep fighting back was really good to see - Crowd liked It and this was probably the only thing that they were awoke for through out the night. Lesnar once again got the upper hand on Punk after giving him a F5. Great segment. 

Winner: Curtis Axel


Paul Heyman challenged CM Punk to a match on Raw next Monday. I doubt the match will happen but It's a good way to build the SummerSlam match. 


Kofi Kingston vs Fandango


Kofi Kingston is back! Unless you watch the PPV pre shows. This was another short match, and I wasn't surprised that Kofi won. I just hope they do something Interesting with him now, because I don't want him to win his 90th mid-card title again. Please, thank you.


Winner: Kofi Kingston


The Usos vs The Real Americans

Decent match that lasted about 4 minutes or so. I thought The Usos would win the match since they have been pushed in recent week but I had no problem with Swagger and Colter winning. I hope they can be contenders for the Tag Team Champions. 


Winner: The Real Americans


Dolph Ziggler vs Big E Langston


Another match between these two, They did this last week as well. I was surprised at first because I thought this match would take place at SummerSlam but It seems like that's not the plan anymore. AJ and Kaitlyn Interfering will likely lead to a mixed tag match at SSlam. Kaitlyn and Ziggler vs Big E and AJ. 

Daniel Bryan & Randy Orton & John Cena vs The Shield


I was expecting this match to be really good but they didn't give enough time so It wasn't that good. It was rushed since they didn't had enough time. I wasn't shocked that Orton RKO'd Bryan but I don't know why He RKO'd Cena. May be a Heel turn is coming? we don't know. I knew they would tease the cash-in but Shield stopping Orton didn't make much sense to me. The Shield standing tall was a good ending to the show, since They haven't been the main focus for few months.


Winner: Cena/Orton/Bryan - DQ

Overall, Raw was decent. Too much fillers but Some good segments. I liked the opening segment though It went for a bit long, Cena's promo, Sandow/Cody, Wyatt/Kane, Lesnar/Punk's brawl was awesome and a fine ending.

                                        Brock Lesnar vs CM Punk

           World Heavyweight Champion: Alberto Del Rio vs Christian

Monday Night Raw July 22, 2013 - Review

Raw kicked off with The official contract signing for the WWE Champion match at SummerSlam between Daniel Bryan and John Cena. Cena put Bryan over big time by saying How size doesn't matter and How Bryan deserves this shot. This was a fun opening segment to kick off the show, I wanted Bryan to talk more than He did, but they still have about a month left to build his match with Cena. Maddox was being a heel here by saying How Bryan doesn't deserve It and all, which isn't surprising since It's a babyface vs babyface feud. Brad Maddox announced Daniel Bryan will have multiple matches later in the night to prove He is worthy of facing Cena for the title at SummerSlam. 

Sheamus vs Alberto Del Rio

We are back to 2012 guys. This is a rematch from Money In The Bank 2012, SummerSlam 2012 and Night of Champions 2012. Yeah, I'm sorry for reminding you of that boring feud last year. But this wasn't that bad, It was a good match. Sheamus did a great job in selling his Injury through out the entire match. Del Rio winning clean was very surprising, but He lost to Orton on Smackdown so He needed this win. Good match but I hope we don't see another World title feud. 

Winner: Alberto Del Rio

Backstage, Teddy Long and Booker T were arguing. It seems like the rumored feud between the two will start now. 

Christian vs Titus O'Neil

Decent match this, I think Titus is great. He was Impressive here against Christian and we might see him in singles competition soon. Christian won the match which wasn't much of a surprise but I hope he is getting a shot at the IC Champion or United States Champion soon. 

Winner: Christian

Great promo by Mark Henry. The crowd pop'd huge for him, and this promo was brilliant booking in his home state of Texas. I don't watch Smackdown much often but I think we saw this same thing on Smackdown, with Usos making the save for Henry. Nonetheless, I think Usos/Henry vs Shield could be great at SummerSlam. 

Dolph Ziggler vs Darren Young

This match was similar to Titus' match earlier, Darren Young was looked good for few minutes and then lost. Ziggler won the match by hitting the Zig-Zag, The match was around 3-4 minutes. Post-match, Big E Langston with AJ again tried to attack Dolph Ziggler but Ziggler escaped. Babyface shouldn't be running away, no? Nonetheless, Ziggler vs Big E Langston will happen at SummerSlam. 

Winner: Dolph Ziggler

Another boring Miz TV segment, This time with The "Total Divas" cast. This whole segment was pointless, It was just to plug the show that is airing Sunday. Not that I hate the show or something but This was basically something you could've done via a commercial Instead of this. 

Cody Rhodes vs Fandango

Cody Rhodes is now officially a babyface. It was a decent match, Crowd weren't behind Rhodes that much which isn't good, Hopefully it gets better in the next few weeks. Damien Sandow on commentary was awesome, He was hilarious. I am excited for Cody Rhodes vs Damien Sandow with the MITB on-the-line at SummerSlam. As for Fandango, Few months ago It seemed like He will be a star but now He is just another guy on the roster. 

Winner: Cody Rhodes

Another Excellent segment featuring CM Punk and Paul Heyman. The best part about this Lesnar vs Punk feud is The Heyman vs Punk mic work, It's absolutely amazing. CM Punk's promo was fantastic, He came as a great confident babyface. I wasn't surprised that Lesnar wasn't there even though Heyman was acting as If he was there next to him. Lesnar not being there wasn't a big deal because You still have 3-4 more weeks to have Lesnar and Punk get physical again but meanwhile, Heyman and Punk are doing the best work on the microphone. This feud so far has been awesome, Looking forward to more in the next few weeks. CM Punk vs Brock Lesnar is made official for SummerSlam next month. "The Beast vs The Beast" 

CM Punk challenges Brock Lesnar to
a Match at SummerSlam

Rob Van Dam vs Wade Barrett

This was basically a squash match. Barrett was dominating RVD for the whole match while the crowd were chanting huge for RVD. RVD won with his Impressive Five Star Frog Splash. It's good to see RVD back but Just hope they find a feud for him for SummerSlam. 

Winner: RVD

Daniel Bryan vs Jack Swagger

This match ended very quickly but still It was a physical bout. Swagger didn't really have much of a shot to beat him, Seeing him tap out wasn't much of a surprise anyways. He was feuding for the World Heavyweight Champion just few months ago. 

Winner: Daniel Bryan

Daniel Bryan vs Antonio Cesaro

This was an Excellent match. I wasn't surprised at all about How great this match was, Simply amazing. Even the crowd was behind It, and to tell you Antonio Cesaro is not even being pushed, He wasn't even on the WrestleMania card. This match should prove that Cesaro is one of the best workers in the WWE, They need to push him. The finish was awesome too, I really loved everything about this match. Loved that It was given 20 minutes 

and saying that Bryan and Cesaro delivered would be an understatement. 

Winner: Daniel Bryan

Daniel Bryan vs Ryback

I was surprised that It was Ryback Instead of Big Show. Since they promoted Big Show was going to return. This was a fine match, It was hard for crowd to get Into It after an amazing match between Bryan and Cesaro. I thought they'll have Bryan beat Ryback as well, but ended up in a DQ was surprising. John Cena vs Ryback in a Tables Match and Daniel Bryan vs Kane is announced for Raw next week. 

Winner: Daniel Bryan

Overall, Raw was good tonight. The Contract Signing to kick off the show was a nice segment, No brawl which wasn't much of a surprise. Heyman and CM Punk were again brilliant, Another strong segment. And you get 3 Daniel Bryan matches, How can you complain? Bryan was a star of the show as usual. They advertised Big Show to return yet He didn't return. No Randy Orton on the show as well, I think they'll keep him off TV till SummerSlam. I was disappointed that No Wyatt Family, No logic behind that. Most of the matches weren't that exciting but The Final hour was awesome.

     PICTURE OF THE WEEK:

Monday Night Raw July 15th, 2013 - Review

The Show kicked off with the New General manager Brad Maddox. Cena Interrupted, Said Maddox is a Okay GM. Maddox announced that Cena gets to pick his opponent at SummerSlam. The Raw MITB winner, Randy Orton also Interrupted Cena and said He may not be the WWE Champion at the end of SummerSlam. Good stare down between Orton and Cena, we'll likely see a future in the coming months. Fandango being part of the segment was random but at least He will face Orton. Good way to kick off Raw, I liked It. 

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.
