Rhodes beat Orton!

That's the big story coming out of Monday's Raw, but I'll get to it in a minute. Let me break the show down, segment by segment.

As much as I like Bret Hart, I don't care to see him on television. I know the crowd absolutely eats it up, but it seems like a waste of time to me. Anyway, Cena basically guarantees victory over Del Rio this Sunday at Night of Champions, which is impossible because they haven't gone to Mexico yet. They set up a tag team match between Del Rio and Ricardo facing Cena and Hart. Lame.

Tag team action is next between Riley/Morrison VS Ziggler/Swagger. In the end, Riley FINALLY uses his real finisher, the TKO, to get the victory for his team. Ziggler could've helped Swagger but decides not to. I really don't give two darns about a Ziggler/Swagger feud, just put Ziggler in my main events. Anyway, it's announced that Ziggler will defend his US Title against Morrison, Swagger, and Riley at NOC. Yes, a Fatal Four Way! Will this be Ziggler last night as champion and will he finally be propelled to the main event? We'll see.

The Awesome Truth have such good chemistry together and now not only did they use each other's catchphrases, they have their own awesome handshake! Anyway, Miz faces Kingston in a pretty good TV match. Miz gets the easy victory and the momentum for Sunday's tag battle. I want to see Miz and Truth as champions, but Air Boom just got the titles. Let them have a 3 month reign at least.

ANOTHER tag match with Otunga and McGillicutty taking on Lawler and his surprise partner. Who is it? SHEAMUS! The faces get the win and I really hope Sheamus somehow gets back into the World Title picture because this whole happy face Great White thing isn't working for me.

Cena and Hart beat Ricardo and Del Rio after Del Rio abandons Ricardo. YAWN, I just want to see the match already.

Kelly Kelly beats Vickie. Beth tries to attack Kelly after the match, but fails. YAWN, I just want to see the match. Wait, did I say that already? I really do want to see the match though. Their SummerSlam match wasn't that bad to be honest.

Here's the big story! In Raw's main event, the IC Champion Cody Rhodes defeated the World Heavyweight Champion Randy Orton in a rematch from Smackdown! It wasn't as good a match as their match on Smackdown, mainly because Henry was on the outside trying to distract Orton. In the end, it works, as Rhodes used his protective mask to hit Orton then hit the Cross Rhodes to get the 3 count. Rhodes STILL doesn't have a match for NOC, but I'm betting he'll defend against DiBiase. Good job Rhodes, you did good kid.

The last segment was between the two men who will main event NOC, Punk and HHH. Good promo, both guys had some good points. In the end of Raw, Punk gets real and puts both man's real names out there and just like his initial shoot promo, the microphone cuts off. HHH gets another mic, it goes off. HHH gets another one, Punk thinks about talking and then hits Hunter with it. He gives him a little DX crotch chop and leaves the ring. Great way to end the show and I really can't wait to see this match. If they don't get the main event, I will snap.

Overall, another average Raw. They call these Raws Supershows, but we barely saw Smackdown Superstars tonight. We got Sheamus, Henry, the IC Champ, and the World Champ. That's it? No Barrett or Bryan? Come on Raw. Anyway, good build for both the Raw NOC main events. Depending on the matches on Smackdown, come back on either late Tuesday night or early Saturday morning for my Smackdown reaction post. That will be the same post as my NOC prediction post so be on the look out. Who do I think will win the No DQ main event? Find out this weekend. Oh, and I love iDate Sam and Freddie. Those two acting all lovely dovey warms my frozen heart. Anyway, a nice little cliffhanger ending but at least we don't have to wait 5 months to see the next episode as iCant Take It airs Saturday. I could get used to this weekly episode stuff. And only 3 weeks until Dark Souls is released. Better be prepared to die. And congrats to Novak Djokovic for winning the US Open, his 4th Grand Slam overall and his 3rd of the year. He really is the CM Punk of tennis. He's changing the game. Good job man.
