After tonight's Raw, we have some more SummerSlam matches, of course! First, Beth Phoenix won the Battle Royal and also went back to being heel by attacking Kelly Kelly. I guess this is WWE's way of appeasing Punk, giving his girlfriend a title match on the 2nd biggest show of the year. Here's hoping for a Beth Phoenix title reign. We all obviously know Truth/Morrison are going to have a match but they also planted the seeds for a Ziggler/Riley feud. I believe I called this match a while ago when I made my first initial SummerSlam card. It should be a good match and I guess that will be Riley's big break out if he wins. I don't know if I'm ready for a Riley reign, but if he does win, they would make two guys that Miz mentored that became US Champion, just saying. I'd be alright with a Riley victory if it meant Ziggler would feud with the WWE Champion right afterward. We'll see though. Del Rio will probably get into a match with Kingston or Bourne. Whatever, he'll be WWE Champion soon enough. Miz? I'm still hoping for the match with Triple H but it's more likely they'll do a rematch between Mysterio and Miz. Either match would be good. Also, I LOVE the Miz/Truth partnership.
Now, the main event. Unfortunately, no triple threat or fatal four way here. John Cena will face CM Punk again to see who is the undisputed WWE Champion. Am I excited for the match? Sure, because of the potential. This match could potentially usher in the next era in the WWE not to mention it should be another solid main event. Will it live up to the MITB match? Probably not because it won't be given that much time again. I'm more looking at the outcome of the match rather than match itself. Why? Because just like last year, WWE has a chance to turn John Cena as heel.
Remember SummerSlam last year? The 7 on 7 main event. Team Cena took on The Nexus and Cena needed a 7th member and that everyone thought that the real leader of the Nexus was going to be revealed? I really thought last year was going to be the year Cena turned heel but it never happened. We have the same situation again. WWE has a golden opportunity to turn Cena heel. It's time. Even Hogan had to turn heel eventually. I noticed during tonight's Raw that there was no clear heel or face between Cena/Punk. It can't be Punk. I understand he's messing with the boss, but he's just an anti-hero AKA what Austin did basically his whole career. It's not Cena because he's Mr. Goody Two Shoes. The fans are ready for a change and Cena turning heel is exactly that change we want. Most of the fans are already behind Punk and I'm willingly to bet that his new shirt is going to sell like hot cakes so it makes sense. Will it happen? Probably not, but that's just my opinion. Turn Cena heel and we'll definitely have a new era in WWE. The more and more I think of a Cena heel turn, the more I think HOW it can happen. It's going to have to involve Triple H and that would mess up the whole Truth/Miz conspiracy storyline. Who knows, but I rather see a Cena heel turn more than a Truth and Miz VS Triple H feud. What do you guys think? Does ushering in a new era revolve around Cena turning heel?
So at SummerSlam, the 2nd biggest event of the year, we're getting two World Title rematches! Does that make people want to buy the PPV more? I'm buying the event regardless because it's SummerSlam and Punk is in the main event, but what about to others who actually have cares for their money? Are you guys going to buy SummerSlam or wait for the potentially awesome and inevitable Punk/HHH match? Well, SummerSlam is 13 days and we only have 3 announced matches. Here's my revised card after tonight's Raw.
Cena/Punk
Orton/Christian V
Kelly/Phoenix
Truth/Morrison
Sheamus/Henry
Ziggler/Riley
Not a bad card but missing HUGE stars such as Miz, Mysterio, Del Rio, and Rhodes. Where are they going to fit in on this big event? Guess we'll have to wait until next week for the Raw guys. Please let us get Miz/HHH!
Oh and I beat Catherine on Saturday night so my review will be coming up. Spoiler alert, it's my game of the year and I've played LA Noire, Mortal Kombat, and a couple other GOTY candidates that I can't think of. Should be up Tuesday night, not sure yet. I got three endings, Good Lover, Bad Cheater, and Good Freedom. So, I got a couple more playthroughs to do. Oh, and I loved Victorious Locked Up! Very funny. iLost My Mind is SO close to airing and I know I shouldn't be this excited for it, but I don't care! Can't wait until the 2nd weekend of August!
