Raw 07/16/12 - Your music's bad and you should feel bad

[goh]

They didn't announce a GM for this week as making this topic so it could be Steph,it could be Adamle,it could be Heyman...who knows.

After another epic CM Punk barely escaped with his championship but AJ still seemed conflicted. As closure was not met,surely there'll be one final match between Punk and Bryan. Perhaps at Raw 1000 next week or perhaps Summerslam. Even if they don't battle for the title they must still battle for the affections of everyone's favorite raggamuffin!

BTW this will be the last 2 hour Raw. 3 starting next week!

Sheamus also barely escaped with his championship as Dolph Ziggler's cash-in attempt went slightly off course but he's still got the case. I can only guess ADR is done and Sheamus will move on to someone new. He had better after that craptacular match. Ziggler can't be too happy with ADR so maybe they'll start something as the fans are behind Ziggler anyway.

The awesome one returned to put himself into MitB but wasn't successful so must find a new target.

Heath Slater attempts to sing and gets beat up by...oh say,The Honky Tonk Man.

The Primetime Players still believe they're the #1 contenders for the tag titles despite losing to Epico & Primo at MitB. Likely headed for a triple threat tag title match next week.

John Cena decided to just up and break everything to win the Raw MitB match. Broke the clasp holding the case to win it and broke the case over Big Show's head leaving a giant dent in it. Will he be only the second person to cash in for a legit match or will he use the sneaky tactics 9 of the 10 other cash-ins have used?

Everyone else gets new stories! Hopefully they'll actually do something with the secondary titles now.

Returns and debuts often happen around this time but are more likely saved for Raw 1000. Though having Dean Ambrose around wouldn't hurt anything...just sayin'.

As there's not much else to know about Raw,thought I'd toss in a reminder the NXT Title tourny starts this week so you should probably tune in for that,it's apparently spectacular courtesy of Seth Rollins,Drew McIntyre,Justin Gabriel and Michael McGillicutty but I don't know if all those matches are this week or just one.

I'm worried about where they're going with Daniel Bryan. He's been beaten by Punk, what, 3 times? Sheamus twice (once in 18 seconds). So... where do they go with him? Jericho? Then where from there?

It would be infuriating, and unsurprising, to see WWE put him back down into the mid-card in the next year. They just don't seem to have a direction for him, and they seem hell bent on slaughtering the momentum he'd created for himself.

He needed to win last night. He needed the WWE Title. More than anybody else on that roster. Now? I don't ****ing know, but I doubt it's good things.

I enjoy the title you have given this week's thread. I expect it to be a dud much like the last few episodes. I'd like to be pleasantly surprised at it being good instead, but I really think they are just waiting for episode 1000.

I think Punk/Bryan continues.

I think the two ramp up the intensity and the feud becomes personal, really going at each other week after week leading up to Summerslam where Bryan wins.

His ring gear was bad *** last night. Maybe he is going to start a stable with Ambrose.

[Chrisksaint]

I have hope this Raw will be decent to try to hype up the 1000th

[TheShizNo1]

I haven't watched the last couple Raws, hopefully this one isn't as bad as you guys are saying the previous ones were.

His gear looked like trash in my opinion

GM tonight could be SCSA since they released a Collector's Edition for '13 today featuring him.

I feel like, if they're going to bring him back, it'll be next week.
