Last night's Raw was in a nutshell a yaw. The show started off with John Cena celebrating that this was his first in 2011 and how we wanted to fight CM Punk. Suddenly The Miz interrupts Cena and officially announces that the 2011 Royal Rumble will consist of 40 participants instead of the usual 30. Also, to top it off the winner of the Royal Rumble gets to choose which heavyweight champion that they want to go aganist at Wrestlemania which I think is a good add to the traditional Royal Rumble. Okay let me dig into the heart of the show the matches:
Tag Team Match: Santino and Kozlov vs The Usos
In this tag team match I have to say that I am impressed with the improvements of both teams. Santino and Kozlov seem to gel well together much to my surprise and to many others that they would get a good push and they would truly work together well with such different styles. The Usos who started off rusty in their debut matches have now gotten the hang of being a heel tag team and picking apart an opponents body part. They sold the fact that Kozlov is a powerhouse and can not be dominated so they attacked body parts to gain a lead. However with all their Samoan swagger they possess they just couldn't defeat the odds and win.
Divas Match: Natalya vs Maryse
In a non title match that seemed like it was put together five minutes before because like most Diva matches there is no storyline of visible reason why these opponents have heat with each other . Natalya and Maryse did the usual five minute match. With Melina and Eva Torres doing commentary of the match it is clear to see that these women have alot to learn about knowing how to have charisma or any talent in being a good mouthpiece. Anyway, Natalya won the match and Maryse had a hissy fit and started to yell at Michael Cole and blame him for his part in her losing the match.
Over the Rope Challenge
Following the Divas Match Ted Dibiase issued an Over the top Rope Challenge to anyone on the Raw roster. Mark Henry initially answered the call but more superstars soon followed like Sheamus,R-Truth, David Hart Smith, Darren Young, Yoshi Tatsu, Zack Ryder, Primo, William Regal and Tyson Kidd. I most say I was entertained by this match it was fast paced and exciting. I however did not like the outcome. Sheamus was dominating the last two mintues of the match so I don't get why Mark Henry won. Oh well I guess he is trying to still get a push.
John Morrison vs Daniel Bryan
Once again John Morrison is showing his incredible athleticism in this match against another true athlete Daniel Bryan . John Morrison took the win and pro veiled but not without Sheamus coming out to remind Morrison that they still haven't ended their feud.
Randy Orton vs Dolph Ziggler
Both number one contenders for Smackdown and Raw's Heavyweight Titles at the Royal Rumble faced off in a very technical match. Randy Orton was beaten and hurt but pro veiled in the match. But The Miz made a cameo after the match and brutally attacked Randy Orton spearing him through a guard rail and feeling like he made his point that he will remain champ.
CM Punk vs John Cena
Since I am completely annoyed with this angle I did not watch this match. But the result was that CM Punk defeated John Cena by disqualification. Hopefully they will get rid of Nexus soon because it is just not working anymore.
