Kane vs Christian
A seven-minute match with back and forth action, and they couldn’t make either one of them look weak. Kane won the encounter when Christian tried to go for a spear. Post match, the Wyatt Family made their debut, as Luke and Erick took Kane out, and decimated the Big Red Machine. They ran through him and crushed his larynx with the steel steps. Bray Wyatt then knelled in front of Kane with a sadistic laughter. That was a good debut, but could’ve been better. Loud ‘Husky Harris’ chants from the fans, but that didn’t hurt the segment.

A WWE Hall of Famer isn't a John Cena fan. More details HERE
Here’s a small, well made video package about the Wyatt Family on this week’s show.
Backstage, Ryback hugged Vickie while she was on her way out. Does this mean she will be his manager come Sunday? I think so.
Kaitlyn and Layla vs AJ (With Big E) and Alicia Fox
A typical divas match that lasted about two minutes, and the finish didn’t make sense either. It ended in a No Contest because Kaitlyn attacked AJ illegally and speared her on the outside? Also, the Bellas were on commentary, and were awful. That doesn’t come as a surprise.
Winner(s): No Contest
Rating: Dud
Randy Orton vs CM Punk
Like Bryan’s match, is it necessary to say it was yet another solid TV match when you have one of the better wrestlers and one of the more solid performers in Punk and Orton? They went on for 14 minutes, and the end came when Punk countered an RKO and hit the GTS for the pin and the win.
Winner: CM Punk
Rating: *** ¼
Post match, Daniel Bryan ran to the ring and fired some kicks on Punk and threw him onto the ring post. He, then picked up a ladder and decked Orton out of the ring with it, and then climbed the ladder to retrieve the briefcase. He then led the crowd in a ‘Yes!’ chant as RAW faded off. That made for an eventful ending, but also a possibility that Bryan might not win the MITB ladder match.
Show Rating: *** ¼
That was a good RAW, but not the best WWE could’ve done for a go – home show. This Sunday, RVD will be returning to the WWE, which has been the hottest news over the past month. Am I going to miss the MITB PPV? No, and there still is Smackdown! before we hit the PPV, so we’ll have to wait and see what happens then. Until next week, keep calm and ‘Rob Van Dam’!
