WWE Monday Night RAW: 13th January, 2013 - Superstar Ratings

John Cena- 6

John Cena

Cena was pitted in a squash match against Damien Sandow this week as mentioned earlier. And there were no surprises either as Cena came home with the win.

No one would’ve been stupid enough to put their money on Sandow on this match as Cena was the clear winner even before the bell rang. One must feel sorry for the wrestlers put against Cena since they are the ones who are bound to be squashed by the leader of the Cenation. A win against Sandow was nothing extraordinary and the match carried minimum heat.

CM Punk – 6.5

CM Punk

Punk clearly deserves a lot of respect for his willingness to put young stars over at his expense. Back in the ECW days, Terry Funk used to be the one who did this job and he ended up being the legend in the business. In the future Punk might also end up being like that.

For the third time in a row, Punk fell for the hounds of Justice but this time he suffered the defeat in a tainted manner. The turn of new age outlaws came as a surprise and took the sting of Punk’s loss. The Punk-Shield storyline isn’t over yet and could provide with some more intriguing results like this.

Big Show- 6.5

Big Show

The purpose of putting Big Show in a squash match with Jack Swagger was to build up some momentum for the Giant before him big clash against Brock Lesnar at Royal Rumble.

In one angle it’s good to see Big Show being dominant after so much time in the other; a squash match is a squash match. Some months back a Swagger vs. Big Show match would’ve been unpredictable to the core but at this time, everyone knew Show was going to win unless Lesnar produced an attack.

The win builds some kind of momentum for Show but the WWE should be thinking about putting him in more risky matches rather than safe ones like this.
