There were a lot shocking moments last night at “Monday Night Raw.” One of those moments was the return of the “Hardcore Legend” Mick Foley. Foley who usually appears in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) segments, wished to enter the 2012 Royal Rumble. The reason being is because he felt his children were old enough to watch him wrestle again. Despite the argument between the WWE Champion CM Punk and number one contender Dolph Ziggler, Executive Vic President of talent relations and Interim General Manager(GM) John Laurinaitist decided to not allow Foley to enter the Rumble.
The two met again towards the end of the show, when Foley lied about being allowed to substitute in a six man tag match. After Laurinaitist reversed the decision, CM Punk accused Laurinaitist of being jealous because of his failed wrestling career. Foley continued these accusations after Punk left, resulting Laurinaitist admitting that he plans to screw Punk at his Royal Rumble match. Laurinaitist then struck Foley, causing him to fall on the ring matt. The wrestling media has been reporting that Foley will be involved in “Wrestlemanina.” None of the reports suggest that he would win the rumble, but his involvement this week confirms that WWE has something for him.
As for CM Punk and Laurinaitist, the storyline between the two is showing more positive results. Laurinaitist’s heel Turn (turning into a bad guy) is transitioning smoothly and it will be only a matter of time before they are compared to Austin and McMahon.
Other shocking moments were the announcement of two new champions last night on Raw. The team of Epico and Primo defeated “AirBoom,” Evan Bourne and Kofi Kingston, for the tag team titles. The match happened the night before Raw in a non-television match, and the new champions retained the titles in the rematch last night. Although this was long expected and it was a relief that the feud is over, the match should have been televised because of the lack of the tag team division. If the division was stronger, then it would have been more exciting to know.
The other title that changed hands was the United States (US) title, as Jack Swagger defeated Zack Ryder. As a result of being attacked by Kane last week, Ryder was too injured to defend his title the way that he normally would. Swagger took advantage of his condition and easily defeated him. Swagger was later on in a match with John Cena who was angered that Laurinaitist for allowing the match to happen before he read the doctors report. If he had he would have discovered that Ryder wasn’t fit to wrestler and the match shouldn’t happen. Cena was so angry that he attacked Swagger and resulting to no contest.
It isn’t sure why they had Ryder drop the title after recently winning it, but what was sure that the storyline transitioned into Cena and Kane. The two will face each other at the Royal Rumble, but most fans will probably interested in how the storyline plays out instead of the match. In the end
Raw was a pretty good show, they were actually other moment that were not mention that was interesting. But I’m sure that rest of the blogging world will talk about it with their own opinions on it. But if you have a question about those moments, I will be happy to answer them.
