CM Punk and AJ: At loggerheads over respect

Punk’s reaction to Triple Threat Championship match at SummerSlam:

WWE Champion CM Punk has all the attention in the world after attacking ‘The Great One’ The Rock at Raw 1000. Now, he is being overshadowed by the new Raw GM, AJ. The new GM made heads turn while making the shocking announcement that CM Punk will face Big Show and John Cena in a Triple Threat Match at SummerSlam.

Will ‘the cult of personality’ have his say in this matter on Raw? Let’s wait and watch.

Brock Lesnar on Raw:

In the build-up to their match at SummerSlam, both Brock Lesnar and Triple H have been scheduled to appear on this week’s Raw. The last time these two were in the same ring, Triple H got the better of Brock. Will Brock reign over The Game this week? Also, with Raw being held in San Antonio, will Triple H’s close friend Shawn Michaels get involved in this feud? There burning questions are bound to be answered on Raw.

Is Daniel Bryan losing it?

After a devastating Raw 1000, Daniel Bryan was forced to undergo a psychiatric test by his former fiancee AJ, last week. While Bryan might have emerged unscathed in the test, he was traumatized by Kane in the end. It is a given that Bryan will feud with Kane in the coming weeks. With his new ‘No!” attitude, will Bryan be able to keep up the momentum that has building with his character over the past few months?

The Viper is back

Randy Orton made his comeback last week after a brief hiatus. He made quick work of Heath Slater. Then on Smackdown, he took Alberto Del Rio to the limit. Who does The Viper has in his sight next?

Del Rio-Sheamus feud

SummerSlam opponents Alberto Del Rio and Sheamus have been involved in a fight for one-upmanship over the past couple of weeks. Del Rio has gone to the extent of calling Sheamus as a guy beneath him. It didn’t go down well with Sheamus who brutalized Tensai on Smackdown. The animosity between these two might reach new heights on Raw.
