Opening up with The Rock was great. I really liked him getting not only the arena, but also the country rallied behind the recent events involving the United States military. It was funny that he and Michael Cole had yet another interaction. Finally, everyone got what they have been waiting for, seeing Cole get Rock Bottomed. It was ironic that he had a Celtics jersey on, and the Heat rock bottomed the Celtics yesterday. The interactions with The Rock and the entire WWE locker room were great. The only thing is that it took away from the results from last night. If I did not see the pay-per-view, I would have been confused.
It would have been nice to see Morrison and R-Truth actually fight. However, this will definitely lead to a great match in the upcoming weeks.
I was happy to see Kharma come out again and destroy yet another real life "Barbie doll." This has been a great story from the beginning. And with Maryse being the victim, and Kelly Kelly watching in fear, it is only a matter of time before the entire divas locker room is destroyed.
Miz and Cenas rivalry is only begin to heat up. This has had a lot of distraction. Before it was Cena, Rock, and Miz, then Cena, Morrison and Miz. Now it almost seems like its heading to the one on one battle. It was disappointing as a Miz fan to see him get the three count, then the decision be reversed because the referee did not see the belt. I have never seen this happen. In the end Cena is still WWE Champion.
Later, Cena went to the back during one of Rocks many backstage celebrations, and indicated to the Rock that he would indeed hold the title until WrestleMania and that they would have the biggest WrestleMania match in history. This remains to be seen.
I was really impressed with Mason Ryan. I think he has potential. A lot of people see him as the next Batista, but a great point that was made was that Ryan is not as old as Batista, who is in his 40s.
Ending the show with the Rock was a great way to cap a great night. And then seeing Vince McMahon come out, really displayed the respect that The Rock has. Last but surely not least, seeing Mya come out was great for everyone, even those who are not wrestling fans. Overall this was a great episode of WWE Monday Night Raw, however, it was not the typical night after pay-per-view episode.
The Rock's birthday was an epic fail. The show was stale and if you think that the WWE is actually gonna let JoMo and Truth have a good match you're mistaken. But I digress. There were no good matches tonight and I really think WWE suffers from not letting their wrestlers put on good matches on TV. They need to really surprise the fans at least every once and a while.
