WWE: RAW Review for 5th August

Bellas were backstage with some more bad acting. They talked about who’s better, and finally reached a conclusion that they both make Total Divas the top rated show.

Eva Marie walked in and said Brie made Natalya look like a loser during their wood-chopping competition. Natalya showed up and slapped Brie. (Thank you Natalya! This might lead to their match on Smackdown!, which will likely end in Natalya losing to Brie. I should be a writer.)

The WWE champion, John Cena made his way out to a mixed reaction. Cena cut a promo about Bryan not being original. Cena said Bryan’s like thousands before him, underestimating Cena.

Cena said Bryan is more comfortable in the smaller leagues. Cena told Bryan that he doesn’t see the opportunity before him. Cena said he is an 11 time champion, as a ‘boring’ chant started. Cena said that his time is now, and the champ is here.

He was then interrupted by Orton, who told Cena he doesn’t see what’s right in front of him. Cue The Shield! They surrounded the ring, but Bryan ran down to even the odds. Maddox then announced a huge 6 man tag team match in the main event!

Cena started out with an intense promo, but it fell flat afterwards, becoming repetitive once again. A huge main event later in the show, as The Shield takes on the team of Cena, Orton and Daniel Bryan!

Tons of Funk (With Funkadactyles) vs The Wyatt Family (With Bray Wyatt)

The first match for The Wyatt Family on the main roster. They quickly beat the Tons of Funk, and Bray Wyatt slowly made his way into the ring. He dropped Clay with his swinging spike DDT, and cut a mystic promo, asking Kane to follow the buzzards.

The pyros went off, and Kane told Bray that he hurts people not to spread a message, but for his own amusement. Kane told him that at SummerSlam, he will witness first hand why he is the Devil’s favourite demon, and that no one can save him from the ring of fire!

The pyros went off around the turnbuckles, as Bray had a sick smile on his face. This confirms their match at SummerSlam, which will be very interesting. I absolutely love Bray Wyatt’s gimmick, as it is straight out of a horror movie.

Winner(s): Wyatt Family

Rating: *

Backstage, Josh interviewed Punk. Punk was set to face Axel later in the night. Punk said he respected Axel’s father, Mr. Perfect. Punk said at least when he was with Heenan, he still had a mind of his own. He then talked about Lesnar, and said he will see Axel tonight.

Layla vs Kaitlyn

Layla vs Kaitlyn

This was more of an angle than a match. Kaitlyn dominated for most of the match, but AJ came down and distracted Kaitlyn, as Layla took advantage with a kick to the head for the win, after nearly 3 minutes. Post match, AJ and Layla skipped around the ring and headed to the back.

Winner: Layla

Rating: *

Heath Slater (With Drew and Jinder) vs Christian

Slater dominated for most of the match, but Christian came back to pick up the win with a spear in just under 4 minutes. Christian escaped before the rest of 3MB could blindside him. It was surprising to see Slater getting so much offence in, but this portrays Christian as a guy who finds ways to win.

Winner: Christian

Rating: * ½
