WWE Monday Night Raw Preview: February 10, 2014

Lesnar’s direction

Where is the storyline?

After man handling the Rhodes Brothers a couple of week ago, Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman left a notable void last week on Raw.

Apparently he is not getting the title shot he wants and Lesnar is sure to react to the situation. At this point, he stands with no storyline and could go to any way but having absences like last week are going to hinder the buildup if the creative is planning anything big for him.

Clearly he is not going to be involved in a match if he makes an appearance, but Lesnar presence and Heyman’s promo would be enough to uplift the crowd.

Some light on what Lesnar plans next would also be the best thing to do as a star like him should be utilized to the core rather than allowed to be wandered like this.

Orton falls again?

Challenge awaits

Apparently, the Authority has lost their faith in the WWE World Heavyweight champion who fell against Daniel Bryan at Raw last week.

Though he picked up a solid win against Christian at SmackDown, Orton still has three men waiting for him. Sheamus, Cesaro and John Cena are sure to deliver great competition for the champion and there are chances of him taking another fall before the Chamber match approaches.

The absence and rumored injury of Cena might work for Orton but he still has to do a lot to prove that he is a worthy champion.

Authority backing Daniel Bryan after last week’s win might further hinder Orton’s credibility and he seems to be headed into Elimination Chamber with the worst case scenario.

We Want Punk

At least tell us that he’s gone

The WWE universe is proving to be more vocal as each week passes and after taking over the shows with Yes chants; they are now focusing their attention on the absence of CM Punk.

Punk has been absent since Royal Rumble and to make things worse the company is yet to acknowledge his absence. There are many stories making the rounds in the internet about the absence with some suggesting that all this is part of a storyline.

For now the only fact that can be confirmed is that Punk is contracted with WWE till July.

Whatever the plans are, WWE needs to push in Punk’s absence into some kind of storyline because the fans are not dumb to believe that boogeyman came and dragged Punk into the closet.
