Yeah, Show - Cena was predictably awful. Rubbish ending too, especially with JR making like that was the first time Cena's ever FU'd Show, I'm sure I've seen that happen about 10 times and its less impressive each time.

Hardy - Edge was quite decent actually, although those 2 usually work a good match. No idea what the point in Matt's interference was though, I would have hoped creative were Hardy v Hardy'd out.

I heard a rumour that Jeff's contract runs out soon and that's why he didn't win the title. Although they want to keep him looking strong in case he signs a new one. Although I have no idea if the rumour is true or not, and it is probably more likely that it is just lazy writing.

I've heard that rumour too. I heard he actually said he wasn't going to sign a while back, but has apparently changed his mind

Cena makes show tap

But more importantly, Batista is New champion, Hardy is New Champion, sorry Scrap that Punk cashes in MITB and becomes NEW champion.

You forgot to mention that it was a horrible botch, as Shows foot came loose from the ropes and the camera then had to move away so as not to show it.

It was an abysmal botch

In the end Cena pretty much had him in a crossface rather than an stf.... why they just didn't have Cena change his moveset and try some other holds I have no idea. Typical wwe at the moment.

Hilariously, Kennedy got released one day after his return, they pumped it so much too. Apparently Umaga's also just been released, which explains why they put Punk over him but still that's a bit wtf too, he's a good worker. Must have been "wellness violations" or something. Expect to see him in TNA joining Joe's fast food nation pretty soon.

As a total aside, watched the ROH main event from the other day (good to see them on tv), Jerry Lynn vs Danielson vs. Austin Aries vs. Tyler Black. Pretty much the definition of awesome

Watched Raw last night. Crazy stuff

In the storyline, Vince has 'sold' Monday Night Raw to his great mate Donald Trump! The billionaire with the best barnet on telly is back! He said next weeks Raw will be commercial free (something that was alredy known) and will be massive. Vince will be there too. Trump even referred to the hair vs hair match a few years ago. When Vince teased this the crowd started chanting "we want Flair" I was expecting Bischoff again.

The actual wrestling was good. Jericho beat Mysterio again after messing with his mask.
Orton is champ again after winning a fatal 4 way over Show/Cena/HHH. Show hit HHH with a sick spear in the match

Punk retained his title agains Hardy and Edge.

and Dreamer beat Christian again retaining the ECW title.

HHH won a 10 man battle royale at the end of the show to earn a title shot at the Bash, Trump then moved the title match to Raw next Monday and made it a last man standing match

Other news included these matches set for the Bash in a few weeks

Orton v HHH - WWE title

Punk v Jeff Hardy - World Title

The Colons v Priceless for the unified tag titles

Is it just a storyline or has he actually bought Raw?
