Guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 For weeks, Monday Night Raw has been embroiled in a wave of unpredictability that continued through to The Great American Bash, as CM Punk retained his World Heavyweight Championship in a match against Batista. The title was retained not by a pin or submission, however, but only after a double-disqualification due to outside interference from Kane. This is the second time that the Big Red Monster has attacked the Straightedge Champion outside of an official match — what can Punk expect from the unstable Kane next? And with The Animal’s quest for championship gold thwarted, will Monday night find him directing his fury toward the Big Red Monster? Also at The Bash, Chris Jericho continued to direct his fury toward Shawn Michaels’ right eye, originally wounded by Y2J on an episode of the Highlight Reel. The contest was called off due to Michaels’ injuries, but not before Jericho did severe damage to HBK’s eye. Y2J emerged later to claim that Michaels’ retina was detached, and that it was a career-ending injury. Will Shawn Michaels be able to recover from this injury like he has so many others, or is Chris Jericho right? Has he truly ended the career of one of sports-entertainment’s greatest performers? Another punishing match actually took place outside Nassau Coliseum: A NYC Parking Lot Brawl between John Cena and JBL. Recent weeks had seen Cena & Cryme Tyme deface the self-made millionaire’s limo, and JBL attempting to run over the Chain Gang Commander in retaliation. Cena has claimed that the thing between he and the self-proclaimed “wrestling god” isn’t just a match, but war. Will the events of The Great American Bash have been enough to settle things, or have we only witnessed an opening skirmish between these two Superstars? For the answers to these questions and more, be sure to tune into Monday Night Raw, live at 9/8 CT, only on USA Network.
TheFranchise Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 I believe Regal's suspension is up around today.
RepoMan Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 Talk about lazy booking: Rematch from last week... John Cena & Cryme Tyme vs. JBL & Cody Rhodes & Ted DiBiase in a rematch from last week has been announced for RAW tonight. Main Event Announced for RAW
Thanks for the Fish Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 Maybe the reasoning will be because the referee was so damn stupid he DQ'd the heels for something that is done in every tag team match EVAR!
Prophet of Mike Zagurski Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 Batista will be directing today's show.
tonyjaymzretro Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 what are the odds Punk wins clean tonight? I'd give it 60% since im optimistic
naiwf Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 what are the odds Punk wins clean tonight? I'd give it 60% since im optimistic 0%. Kane is interfering again, and my gut says it'll be when Batista has Punk pinned, leading to a 3 way at Summer Slam.
tonyjaymzretro Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 oh god, follow up? with Paul London? dont be a tease WWE, dont be a tease
cheetoe Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 More good stuff from Jericho. If Punk is really to be a face champ, he would be the perfect opponent for him right now. Crowd wouldn't be torn like they are with Batista. Not to mention they could have some pretty bad ass matches together. Still curious to see the outcome of Punk/Batista/Kane regardless... Kelly get's an A for effort here...
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 Wow, Kelly Kelly has really improved.
BruteSquad_BRODY Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 Quit saying this is unprecidented - christ it happened about 45 times since 1998
Matt Young Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 9 posts (mine makes 10) in the first hour of Raw? This is a new non-holiday low.

Exslade ZX Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 I love how "glass all the way up the length of the arm" is covered by a bandage on the elbow.
The Amazing Rando Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 I love how "glass all the way up the length of the arm" is covered by a bandage on the elbow. Hell, I think having glass in my back might slow me down a little bit or at least put a painful grimace on my face. Adrenaline only does so much.
Open the Muggy Gate Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 Once Randy Orton comes back and teams with DiBiase and Rhodes, I'm gonna be all sorts of confused when Orton and DiBiase are in there.
The Amazing Rando Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 Once Randy Orton comes back and teams with DiBiase and Rhodes, I'm gonna be all sorts of confused when Orton and DiBiase are in there. Orton will have blond teenage pubes in his teeth.
Lazarus Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 I'm liking what they are doing with Rhodes and Dibiase and am happy that they seem to be building up to the rumored young heels stable, but I am finding tonight's show kinda boring.... not sure what it is, but I am having trouble paying attention to it.
The Amazing Rando Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 That "double FU" was really horrible.
2GOLD Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 Cody Rhodes ejecting himself off without Cena's help was just wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. And outstanding selling of that "brutal" match last night by Cena.
DerangedHermit Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 It's nice to see they're doing lots of work to benefit Festus
cheetoe Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 That "double FU" was really horrible. How long do you think it will be until a double pedigree?
DerangedHermit Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 That "double FU" was really horrible. How long do you think it will be until a double pedigree? hoping for a Triple Pedigree
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 Where has Jamie Noble been all night?
naiwf Posted July 22, 2008 Report Posted July 22, 2008 Where has Jamie Noble been all night? Waiting for this moment.
